Union, which Is confederation OF all the Catholic
societies In Rome, was favored with a rescrpt
from the Pope, dated May "a, 1873, in which
His Holiness speaks OF the special necessity
OF prayer at the present time, when the
Church is troubled and harassed every side,
and concludes by blessing the faithful and pray ing
that God may give them the spirit OF grace and
prayer. The Holy Father was pleased, on May So to

THE FEAST OF Alb.

Yesterday, the ninth day Of the Jewish month
Alb. was celebrated by the Hebrews Of the city as
the memorial day OF the destruction OF Jerusalem.
It was on that day the Jews were condemned to
die for want OF faith in the promises Of God through
Moses. On that day Nebuchadnezzar destroyed
the first temple, Titus destroyed the second temple
and the city Of Bethar was captured, and year
later the plough passed over Jerusalem and the
Holy Mount as symbol of subjugation. Yesterday
being Sabbath day with the Jews, the celebration
was postponed until to-day, when numberless

Appointment OF Police and q Fire Conn
MISUNDERSTANDING the ssSiate."
The politicians about the Brooklyn City Han were
astonIshed yesterday. For some time past dead
lock has existed touching the appointment Of q
police and excise commissioner and fire commits
sioner. The appointing power in the case OF the
former consisted OF the Mayor, City Auditor and
Comptroller, while the Auditor and Comptroller
directed by the charter to appoint the latter.
Politicians VINO pretended to know something of
the situation" said that David Williams,
OF the Seventeenth ward, was SLATED" for
the Police C0mmissionership and Jakey WOerth
for the place in the Fire Commission. politicians
who pretended to know something Of the situa-
ton" were mistaken. Yesterday the "slate" was
broken, in fact, it was ground into small pieces.
Tie deadlock was also shattered. Comptroller f.
A. Schroeder and Auditor Shaurman met quietly
in the Office of the former yesterday morning, and
proceeded to appoint Mr.. Robert M. Phraner for
Commissioner and Inspector of Buildings. Mr..
Phraner has held the position since the
resignation OF Anthony +. Campbell (ex-Sherin

very popular man among politicians me Fire
Commission Is now composed OF FRED Massey;

and MIR. Phraner.
About an hour after this appointment there was
a solemn conclave in the Mayors office. The
Mayor. Auditor and Comptroller were closeted to-
gether. The Hall was tnronged with politicians
waiting to receive the announcement OF Mr.. Will
iams' appointment as Police commissioner.
There was large delegation from the Seven
teenth ward. It is said that he controls
the republican association o. that ward.
The politicians thought he had "a sure
thing OF 1t - but Judge OF their astonishment when
1t was announced IRON the Mayors once that
James L. Jensen had been appointed Police
Commissioner. "Who Is Jensenr' exclaimed half
q dozen politicians eXcitedly No one knew Jen-
sen save the seventeenth ward men. They knew
Jensen as the secretary OF the republican associa-
ton OF the ward. Mayor Poweirs candidate was
Andrew cunningham OF the Fifteenth Ward. me
comptroller expressed his preference for Alder
man John A. Taylor, OF the thirteenth ward, bus
finally agreed with Mr. Shaurman upon Mr. Jensen.

Curing ICprOSy,

The Pail Mall Gazette says lin
portant experiments are, II seems, be-
ing made as to the cure Of leprosy, aud
the Friend of India reports that while
DIR. Kenneth Stuart, in Calcutta, and
DIR. Balfour, in Madras, in applying
cashew- nut oil to both the forms OF
leprosy, are meeting with only partial
success, the Madras surgeon in medi
cal charge of the penal settlement at
Port Blair believes that he has made a
more valuable discovery in the same
direction. He Is OF the opinion that
leprosy can be cured by the oil of the
gurlon tree. Every leper in the settle
ment Is, 1t is stated, being cured fast
OF this lOathsome disease. In no case
has there been the slightest failure. and
the the disease has been arrested ut
every stage. No doubt, saws a cor.
respondent, the matter will be fully
reported when the experiments have
been completed. In the meantime,
the doctor has very wisely resolved not
to make any stir about the matter un-
TIL his experiments are SO completed as
to leave no doubt respecting the nature
OF the cure as well as it's permanence.
This oil seems 10 be beneficial to all
descriptions of sores and ulcers. aud it
has other properties which will be fully
disclosed hereafter. The oil of the
gerlon balsam or wood oil has long
been used all over India by the natives
for skin diseases and sores In the
event of its turning ont that leprosy is
durable, the discovery will not only be
valuable as regards these afflicted with
that disease, but it will stimulate the
medical profession TO further exertions
to discover the antidote TO other dis
eases of like nature hitherto consid-
cred incurable.n

than in America. During the past
year there were killed upon the rail
ways of the United Kingdom
l., l45 persons, while there were
3,03S more or less injured.
About half of both these numbers
were servants of the railways, aud
rather more than half of the entire
number suffered from their own care
lessness or misconduct. OF the em-
ployes, SOS were killed from their Own
recklessness, Ga only from causes be-
yond their control. OF the 1,462 pas
sengers injured, 1,247 suffered from
causes beyond their control. OF the
entire number killed, the report esti-
liberately chose that method of com,
hitting suicide. OF the direct causes
OF all the reported casualties, PIT are
ascribed to broken rails collisions
with other trains, 1853; broken axles,
162, and running oven distractions,
ll5. 1t is curious fact chat only Que
life has been lost through the breaking
OF axles, and ten from running over or
against distractions, almost the en-
tire damage TO property and life result
ing from collisions.
With these results before them, and
a certain knowledge of the causes to
which the disasters upon their various
roads are attributed, 1t would certainly
seem as if the conspirations of both
countries could put preventive meas
ures IN force that would reduce the
list at least 80 per cent. the coming
year. OF course they hove no jurisdic,
ton or influence over cases of personal
carelessnes, but for all other causes
they are direct responsible and should
be made to understand it.

that du-ingth the single month of August

persons and the manning and iniuring
OF one hundred and thirty-five more.
Nineteen of these accidents resulted
