AT the urgent request of Plus VI, he
visited the Vatican. As he was about
leaving, the venerable PontiT laid his
hands upon his head, saying, You En-
glish care nothing for these things, but
the blessing of an old man can do you no
harm" And thus the Puritan hereto re-
ceived the papal benediction.
While residing at Vienna, in small
lodgings in by street, he received a sum-
mons from the palace to visit the Emperor
Francis Joseph III. "Can l do any good
by going?" he asked. Being assured that
be could, he went. Seldom do monarchs
hear such pungent truths and such stern
cOunsels, as while the friend of the cap
tive and the oppressed pleaded their cause
in the presence of their sovereign.
The magnetic influence of his strong
will was strikingly evinced in his quel-
ling a mutiny In the Savoy prison. The
rioters, two hundred strong, had broken
loose, killed their keepers, and defied the
authorities. Howard, unarmed and alone,
entered the prison, heard their grievances,
Gained their fury, and led them back to
their cells.
And Towards influence ceased not
with his life. Oh him, as of every noble
worker in Gods world, is it true that,
being dead, he yet speaketh. The taunt
conveyed in the heartless sneer of Car
lyle, that he abated the jail-fever, but
caused the far worse benevolent platform

The Recent Elections.

The result of the State elections in 1878
may be set down as a crushing defeat of
the Republican, or Administration party,
and as an ever memorable victory of the
Democracy. There is much in it that re-
minds us of the history of the past. 1t
seems as if 1887 was come again, and by
an extraordinary coincidence the same
figures denote it, with the exception that
the fourth has become the third in the
row. In 1887 the downfall of the Democ-
racy, who had been in possession of power
for eight years, was simultaneous with a
financial panic that overspread the coun-
try, depressing business and throwing
hundreds of thousands of people out of
employment. For it the Administration
was held responsible. States which had
been the most reliable for Gen. Jackson,
and for his then just-inaugurated success
sor, Martin Van Buren,, were carried by
the Wings by large majOrities. New
York, which had given Van Buren, in the
preceding fall %, 900 majority, elected 100
Wings to the House of Assembly to %
Democrats. The reaction was complete.
But the Democrats endeavored to console
themselves by the reflection that the vote
was light, and that thousands of Demo-
Gratis stayed at home from dissatisfaction,
who, when President or Governor was
chosen, would again come out and vote
the ticket. The result proved the vanity
of the delusion. 1t was the "oifyear,"
just after Presidential contest
Three years passed away, and the
Presidential election took place. The
opposition to the Democratic Adj
ministration of Martin Van Buren, con-
sisted of several organizations, North and
South, but by far the most important of
them was known as Wings. Under that
name everything rallied in 1910, and, al
though the vote was a halfmilliOn larger
than ever before known, Mr.. Van Buren,
was voted out by an Unprecedented ma
jority, receiving but so Electoral votes out
of 294, and carrying seven States out of
the twenty-siX which then composed the
Union. Then the Democracy, for the first
time, perceived that the results of 1887
were not momentary, but they expressed
the full and deep-settlcd convictions of the
people.
In 1878, thirty-six years thereafter, with
out the change of figure, we find a SINH
lar state of things. A National Admins
tration elected a year before by an enor-
nous majority, is everywhere condemned.
With this change comes financial panic
almost exactly like 1887 Strike out the
name of Grant and insert Martin Van
Buren,, and it is history repeating itself.
By the defeated party the same ideas are
advanced that the reverses are but tenn
porary What delusion they are labor
ing under, the course of events will tell.
The people are going to combine in 1876,
just as they did in 1910, to vote out the
Administration. Now, as then, they will
seize hold of that organization which is the
most conspicuous, and could do the most
in the effecting of the great purposes of
the opposition. 1t was then the Wing
party. Now it is the Democratic party

How the Baby Behaves in Company.

IT is fact that no baby ever did, and
no baby ever will, behave well in com
pany The mother always brings it into
the parlor where the visitor IS, dressed in
its clean dress, and its father and its aunt
come in smiling at the same time. After
the visitor has kissed the baby and taken
it on her lap, and declared it is the dearest
little thing she ever saw, the baby's
mother and she begin to talk. Each talks
about her own baby as fast as she can rat
tie, and both talk at once, apparently
without caring what the other is saying.
In the midst of the conversation the baby
throws up" on the visitors dress, and is
suddenly handed to it's mother. The visi-
tor smiles sickly smile, and says it
makes no difference, but she is mad. The
conversation is resumed, but presently
the father winks furiously at the mother
and trowns, and clears his throat and
makes mysterious signals at the side of
the chair with his hand. The mother
looks down and perceives that some of
the baby's undergarments are slipping of,
and she snatchcs up that infant and flies
from the ROOM When she returns the
child cries to go to its father; and no
sooner is it settled on his knee than it be
trays an irresistible yearning TO go to its
aunt, after which it cries furiously be

when its hands have acquired sufficient

visitors bonnet. Then its mother tries to
show off its accomplishments; but it ut

or papa" and it won't show how big it
is. Its father tries to coax it to say

He tries again and again. getting madder
all the time, and dreadtully afraid the Wis
itor will think the child is dull. At last
he grabs the child by the arm and shakes
it and yells, "Why don't you say papa
as tell you?" Then the child screams
like a ack-yard full of cats. The more
the mother soothes il the louder it gets,
until at last the father eXclaims, "Gimmc

of the room, and is heard spanking ii in

BETTER THAN GOLD.

BETTER than gold is the sweet repose
of the sons of toll when their labors close;
Better than gold is the poor mans sleep,
And the balm that drops on his SAUNDERS deep
Brings sleeping thoughts to the downy bed
Where luxury pillows his aching head;
This simple opiate Nature deems
shorter road to the land of dreams.
Better than gold is n thinking mind.
That in the realms of books can find
A treasure surprising Australian ore,
And live with the great and good of yoTe--
The sage's lore and the poets lay,
The glories of empire, passed away;
The worlds great drama will thus unfold,
And yield pleasure better than gold.
Better than gold Is n peaceful home,
Where all the fireside charities come
The shrine of love. the heaven of life,
Hallowed by mother. or sister. or wife
However humble that home may be,
Or tried with sorrow by Heavens decree,
The blessings that never were bought or sold,
And center there, are better than gold.

THE Gold Hill New Meas says: can
1rishman, a resident of this city, noted for
his wit upon all occasions, and also for
his successful attacks on the tiger, was
proceeding home the other evening, and
when he reached the Divide was stopped
by some footpads and told to hold up his
hands, The robbers knew he had made a
large winning and got off with it. and pre-
ceded him for the purpose of waylaying
him. Pat did not scare worth cent and
when stopped quietly asked the robbers
what they wanted. They answered, we
want your money!" Pat quietly lighting
his dudeen, said: %, murther, murtherl
but ye fellers are awful thick to night
Awful thick" said one of the robbers,
what do you mean?' Il name said Pat,
that this is the fourth time / was stopped
since 1 left Virginny' One of the men,
disguised with himself to think that others
of the profession had got in ahead of him,
struck Pat on the neck and then licked
him, saying: Get out of here, or I'll
blow the top of your head off, Pat did
get willingly, and arrived safely at home
with 800 in coin in his pocket"

dreds of wild dogs in the western end of
Long Island, within fifteen miles of New
York CITY. Three Siberian blood hounds,
owned by a German family, took to wild
life three or four years ago, and started
the pack, and their offspring have swelled
their numbers till they have become
dangerously bold. Being unable to find
game enough to live on, they do not hest
tate to appropriate stray calves and pigs,
and even visit farm-yards. 1t is stated
that they have also attacked horses, and

WOman's Influence Over Man.

WHERE is the man of parts and princi-
| Piles who has not been managed by wo-
| man? What hero of the past (the present
| is slow to reconize its heroes) has not had
| his heroine, even though she be not so re-
corded?
| Pericles was managed by Aspasia in
| everything that added to their greatness
and to the glory of Greece. He was
proud to admit his Indebtedness to her.
| She helped him to his pedestal, and draw
| ing her after him, he crowned her with
| laurels, and proclaimed her god
| dess fit for the Parthenon. He had no
fear to be thought inspired or guided
by her, for he was lofty leader of lofty
men, standing so high that he heard the
| uttered wisdom of Olympus.
Hyperides, the rival of Demosthenes,
| was so managed by Phryne as to render
his effort in her behalf the crown of his
eloquence. The beauty of the woman
flashed into his thought; the symmetry
of her form swept through his sentences,
and she stood acquitted by the power of
| her reflected loneliness. Caesar and An
| tony knew from the first what siren
| Cleopetra was. The great Julius saw her
| consummate management when she rose,
| like Il rare aromatic flower, from the bale
the swarthy Sicilian had brought. He
felt the presence of the splendid appari-
| ton kindling Il new destiny in his veins,
and he advanced to meet it with open
| arms. Unfortunate her influence
was in many respects, she must have

chanting queen, could have retained HIM

which was best in him, and most promis-

Antony magnificent rowdy that he was,
detected the management of Ptolemy's
daughter while she rowed up the Cydnus
with silver oars, to obey his summons, as
the GOODIES of youth and love. To live in
luxurious efleminacy with her, he sank
the Spartan element that was in him, and
drew the Sybarite to the surface. How
supreme must have been the tact which
could rivet to her side the sturdy soldier,
and enthrall- him with voluptuousness,
