The telegraphic rumors that the
Pope would declare himself King Of
Rome, and that he would move his res
idence to France, were not very proba-
BILE, and arc now contradicted by
another statement that he will remain
in the Vatican TIL put out by force.
This, says the Alta, suggests that no
fears force, but there Is not the slight
est ground for apprehension-at least
80 far as Victor Emanuel Is concerned.
That monarch Is too prudent to bring
down upon himself the anger Of the
entire Catholic world, including apor-
ton of his own subjects. He has the
support of the majority of his people
in depriving the Head Of the Church of
temporal power; but the Punishment
of the priests, bishops or Pope would
give offence even to the enemies Of Ca
tholiclsm. The lower classes in Rome
are very bitter against the Jesuits, and
in some time Of excitement might in
suit the Pope; but this Is a contin-
gency 80 remote that it Is not likely to
OCCUR, though seven or eight centuries
ago the populace Of Rome, when all
most devout Catholics, repeatedly re-
belled against the Popes, and expelled
or slew them.

Dreaming to Some Purpose.


The following occurrence Is said, by
the Hartford, Times, to have actually
transpired In that city, and not very
long ago: 2,
One of our prominent aud wealthy
citizens had purchased o slightly piece
Of land outside the city, but within the
town limits, and the purchaser was
troubled somewhat because he had been
told that could not get water, owing to
the elevated position Of his land, with
out digging further Chinaward than
any one would be likely to undertake.
As we said, this troubled him. He
wanteda we'll on his place, and although
4 man Of great energy-one who never
allowed any obstacle, 10 matter how
great, to turn him from his path, ne
hesitated long before undertaking TINS
task. The thought OF excavating tor q
we'll through half q mile more or less)
Of solid rock was enough to deter the
stoutest heart. At this juncture. be-
fore he had resolved upon anything
definite, he dreamed that he had set q
RuLlS VI lueii w NihS1'6N
certain Ito his mind well.defined spot,
and that after digging a few feet, be-
fore the rock was reached, water came
In abundance. The gentleman, though
not a bit superstltious, and holding
dreams as lightly as any body. was
more impressed with his sleeping vision
than he would have cared to acknowl-
edge. At first he would have secuted
the idea of treating the subject serious
ly enough to put a spade into the earth
at the spot indicated In his dream ; but
do what he would he could not dismiss
the dream from his mind, and finally
he resolved to test it; but without any
real belief that his dream would be
verified. He set his men to work, and
strange to relate, after digging fifteen
feet, water abundantly flowed, and
thu, the dream fully came to pass. W.
have seen the we'll with our own eyes,
and the dreamer, who Is a gentleman
of undoubted veracity, assures US, that
our story Is true.

Health Of Tho Prince Of wales and
Possible Contingencies.
R,om M q, F. Bulsan, November nj

from tho 8. F. Bulletin, November ~
Gable dispatches from Europe repre-
sent that undlsguised approximations
exist with regard to! the illness of the
Prince Of Wales. It Is believed that
the malsdy affecting him Is Of a serl-
Gus nature. This Is not surprising, for
with his death and the admitted Illness
of Queen Victoria, a state of affairs
may occur Of a perplexing nature.
Speculations upon such contingencies
as the death of two persons are usually
Idle aud Of little moment but In the
present instance, remembering the So
cial revolution that is going on In
Great Britain, the subject becomes one
of importance and interest. Should
the death OF the Prince ensue, the heir
apparent will be the Princes eldest
child, a boy now but seven years old,
aud If tho Queens demise follow, or
the state Of her health necessltate a
Regency, 1t is then that serious com
plications may possibly arise. The
sscond son of Victoria, the most pop
ular of her children, Prince Alfred, Is
heir presumptive to the German Du-
chy Of Sake Coburg-G otha, and the
relations Of the new Empire of Ger
many with England would hardly COM
port with a Regency being placed in
the hands Of one who may at any mo-
ment be called upon to assume q posi-
ton which would virtually make him
a foreign potentate while the other
sons Of the Queen, the Princes Arthur
and Leopold, beside being much
younger. have not yet done anything
to ingratiate themselves in the public
favor. Regencies, In the history OF
the country, hive not been Of the most
satisfactory character, and n Of the
two Instances Of a Regency for an In
FAINT Prince IL associated with n Of
tho darkest passages Of English his
tory, the murder OF the young King
Edward by his uncle, the Duke of
Gloucester, afterward Richard III.
Though England may be gradually
approaching to Republicanism, there
are but few who will aver that the
people, as a whole, are yet ready for
so great q revolution In the admins
tration Of their affairs. A long Re-
gency, beside the difficulty Of selecting
an acceptable parsonage, would not be
calculated to endear the people to mo-
narchlcal institutions. II now there
are complaints that by Victoria's Be-
clusion there is really no Court, there
would, under a Regency, be a costly
monarchy without an actual monarch,
a kingdom without the gorgeous para
p%hernalia Of a king. Unpopular as Is
the Prince Of Wales, the friends Of the
existing state of things would much
prefer that he should not yet DO re-
moved from amongst them, than face
the difficulty Of q long Regency, which
must almost unavoidably become un-
popular. and increase the distaste for
monarchIcal institutions.
