the ferry boat started, and left Aurn sitting in it,
When the horse and wagon went over the side

Admiral Portsr,n Gas RiII.

Whatever may be the sentiments the rest of
his cOuntrymen, there is at least one man in
Washington who cannot complain that the
guests of our newly constituted Admiral are not
received with ceremonious honor. On reception
day it is currently reported that Chinese SER
want in the employ of Admiral Porter, having to
attend the door, estimated the rank and conse-
quence of the visitors, according to Chinese
custom, by the size of their visiting cards. OF
course the one-inch-by-two bits of cardboard
were thrown into the basket with silent con-
tempt. Presently the gas collector presented his
monthly bill. Yellow is the royal coler In China.
With profound and reverential salaams the
aImOnd-eYed tunctionary received the long,
yellow slip of paper, and, confident that he was
conducting prince OF the bloOd-royal, ushered
the collector into the presence of the astonished
family. 1t is said that the genuhexions of the
awe-struck Asiatic surpassed anything ever seen
at the capital since the Admiral got his appoint
ment.

to the points of the treaty they negotiated, there is

canals. being bound only to pay toll. The San
Juan boundary question is not yet fully settled,
but we shall probably get all we claim in that
direction. The close reticence displayed by Earl
de Gray and the English members is not so strictly
in reply to questions, that the country will be
satisfied with the work, but they will not go into
details. Our correspondent assures US. however,
that the prominent points of the new treaty are as
stated That our demands for indemnity for the
depredations by the alabama are conceded the
Englishmen in this country who suffered by our
civil war are to be Unidentified, and our fishermen
to have the privilege of inshore fisheries, on pay

however. that the damages to Englishmen are esti-
mated at some twenty million dollars more than
our estimate of damages by the alabama.

Plus TX. a Voluntary Prisoner.
Mrs. Laura Curtis Billiard, writing from Rome
TO the Golden Age. gives the following interesting
sketch OF the present condition OF the Papacy:
The Pope has constituted himself a voluntary
prisoner In the Vatican. He has ordered the omis-
sion OF all the customary ceremonies Of the church.
he allows no one TO visit the galleries and mu-
seums Of the Vatican without a permit; and in
fact he is taking great pains to make himself gen
orally and thoroughly disagreeable. For an in
fallIble man he exhibits a degree Of ill-temper at
the loss of his temporal power that is rather sur
prIslng. he has not a good word for any one.
The journal which is his organ, HUnitd Cdtouica.
calls Napoleon Ill a rascal, f" a poor compliment
to the man who, more than any other monarch OF
power. But Popes, 1t seems. are not free from the
general weakness of humanity. which is TO kick a
man when he is. or is supposed to be, down.
There is a tradition in Rome that IL a Pope oc-
cupies the chair of st. Peter for rs years be will
be the last Of the long line of the Apostolic
prinees-and If Plus TX. lives till next June. that
tradition will have a chance 70 be tested. He has
been a most unfortunate monarch, and his III luck
is not confined to himself. II is a singular fact
that every royal house which has received his
blessing has been unfortunate. He blessed Maxi
milan and poor Carlotta just before the ilI-starred
Mexican expedition. He blessed Francis Joseph.
Emperor of Austria, just before his conflict with
Prussia and his defeat at Sadowa. He blessed
Isabella, Queen of Spain, and sent to her the
golden rose, and she lost her throne almost imrne-
diately after. He blessed Louis Napoleon and
Eugene. and they are exiles and wanderers on the
face OF the earth. He cursed Victor Emanuel. and
accommodated him, and he is King Of Italy. be-
loved by bis people. victorious over bis nations

SANpRINouAM, the residence Of the
Prince Of Wales, Is situated In Norfolk
county, England, within n few miles
of the old borough and seaport town
of Lynn-Regis, near the line Of the
Eastern Counties railway, and about
100 miles northeast Of London. The
Sandringham, or Sand-D erringham,
estate has a curious history, and has
passed through several hands. It was
devised by will to the younges. son OF
Lady Cowper, who afterwards became
the wife Of Lord Palmerston. When
the Prince OF Wales came of age in
1862, Sandringham was for sale, and,
having the advantage Of being situated
in the great game county Of Norfolk,
it was purchased for Albert Edward.
The land, it Is stated, is sandy and
poor, but the young trees planted about
forty years ago have grown up into
excellent covers for winged game.
The purchase, It Is asserted, was a
"huge job" AS a fancy price was paid
to the owner, Hon. Spencer Cowper,
the stepson Of Lord Palmerston, then
Prime Minister. Sandringham House
IL n large and splendid mansion, and
has just been completed, having ex.
hausted in Its construction the minority
accumulations Of the income OF the
Prince rs Duke of Cornwall. The
magnificent front entrance-gates Of
Sandringham Park were presented to
the Prince Of Wales by tho Inhabitants
Of Lynn-Regls.
