The occupation of Rome by the Italians,
despite the courtesiss and privil ges extended
by them to the Pope, is likely, after all. to
precede the removal OF the papacy from its

England, bnth Protestant Powers, have offer
ed him asylum, aud that he will probably elect
to reside at Malta, u British possession
Years aeo this was the seat of the famous order
OF knights of ST. John, who surrendered it TO
Napoleon. 1t has, therefore, IA sort of Church
history. And further than this, Plus vi or

A Remarkable Fact in Politlcs.

In l840 the Wing party swept the country
with the = Log Cabin" and the song Of Tip
pecanoe and Tyler too 1t was an over
whelming victory Harrison had two hundred
and thirty-four electoral votes, and Van Buren,
only sixty. Yet in the Congressional elections
OF 1912, the Democratic party achieved sig
nal triumph, and John w. Jones, the Demo-
cratic candidate, was chosen Speaker Of the
House OF Representatives by one hundred and
twenty votes against fifty nine for j ohu White,
the Whig nominee.
In 1874 the Democratic party carried the
country and elected Polk to the Presidency.
But two years later, in the second year of his
administrations the Wings carried a majority
OF Congress and evated Robert e. Winthrop,
of Massachusetts, to the Speakership. In
lS4S the Wing party elected General Taylor t.
the Presidency But when the Congressional
elections of 1850 came aIuoud. the Democracy
were again triumphant, and Linn Boyd, O
Kentucky was chosen speaker. la 1852 the
Democracy elected Franklin Pierce Presden
by very decisive vote. But the newborn
Republican party soon developed commanding

test General Banks. OF Massachusetts, wa

Picrce'> Administration.
The Democracy were again successful in tn
Presidential election of 1886, choosing Nj
Buchanan. The Congressional elections q
1883 were, however, hotly contested, an
Wiham Pennington, of New jersey, the Re
publican candidate, was made Speaker of tn
House In 1850 the Republican party, for til
first time, elected President, aud Abraham
Lincoln entered the White House. The rul

A Puzzled Dutchman,

A preacher who does not believe in immer.
sion was holding a prO:ractcd meeting and
one night preached on the subject Of baptism.
In the course Of his remarks he said: Some
believe 1t necessary to 20 down into the water
to be baptiscd. Bat this is claimed to be
falIacy, for the proposition into " of the
Scriptures should be rendered differently, for
it does not mean into" at all tunes. Moses,
we are told, won't up into the mnuntain and
the Saviour was taken into high mountain,
etc. Now We dc not suppose that either went
mtO mountain, hut unto it. So with going
down INTO the water; it means simply going
down close 6q or near the water and being
baptl>ed III the ordinary way by sprinking or
pouring
He carried this idea out fully, and in due
season an invitation was given for any so dis
posed to express his thoughts. Quite a num-
bar did so. Finally corpuient gentleman of

CHINESE IMMIGRATION.-The San Francis
CO Bulletin states that the last steamer from
China which arrived at that port brought only
sixty nine Chinese. 1t is asserted that Tor
sou time past the departures of the Chinese
from San Francisco have been greater than
the arrivals. and that the number resident in
the city Is 1000 less than it was last ear, while
the number in the State is now only 37,0O0
against $4,000 year or two ago. For the
year 1870 the excess Of the arrivals OF Chinese
in San Francisco over the departures has been
1000, but this number has not compensated for
the loss by death and emigration to other
States. 1t is argued that hereafter there will
be no material increase in the number OF Chi
nese in California. The surface mines, it is
stated, have been exhausted, and the diggiDgs
which the Chinese can work with hand labor
are very lew and very umremnnerative. The
completion of the Central Pacific Railroad has
thrown about 5000 Chinese out of employment
and caused their return to China or their re-
movaI to other parts OF the coast. The gener-
al reduction of wages has permitted the EN-.
plcyment oil WHITES in the situations formerly
| occnp' @ by the Chinese, and the growing an
tipathy 10 the race and the hard treatment to
which it has been subjected, having discour
aged the coming of the Chinese and caus
| ed the commercial companies to issue circular
advising their cOunirymen to remain at home
The frderal authorities have also strictly en-
forced the laws against the importation OF COO
| lies under labor contracts entered into abroad
while the foreign ministers tax, imposed b.
California, is rigidly collected.
