Papal Nuncio.

The Rev. DIR. Cummings, not always

lecture in Liverpool, having for his sub
iect the recent Ecumenical declaration OF
the iufallibility Of the Pope, and II all can
not arrive ut his conclusions, they must
certainly admit the fact Of wonderful
coincidence Of events, which, II we are
superstitious. can well be looked TO rs
heavenly displeasure at such assumption.
No sooner had the Pope. says DIR. Cum
mings. pronounced the dogma OF infAlli-
bility. thus assuming to himself divine
attribute. than he heard the first sound, Of
n war which. in It's proportions. in its
area. and in Its intensity. was more uni
versal massacre than war. On that
very day. Napolcon-the ''eldest son Of

ions against Commissioner Wilson Of the

Some time ago the Presidents father-in-

which he lost by some default or neglect.
The land afterwards became valuable. and
Congress was applied to pass law In nc
cordance with certain precedcnts, to re-
establish or confirm Judge Dents title to
the lands. which were in two tracts. COM

Csrondolet, Missouri. Commissioners
Wilson was applied to to draw up the
bill. which he did. inserting Mt the end the
conditional clause, subject to any valid
a'versc rights. IL such exists" General
Dent insisted that this clause should be
omitted from the patent but Commission
CT Wilson was firm, and, aaer serious
dispute, carried the point. The commits
sioner maintains that in this matter he was
simply complying with the law covering
such cases, the purpose Of which Is TO pro-
tect innocent persons who may have set
tied on the lands, andif the conditions had
not been inserted the bill could not have
