THE LATE EMPEROR's RELIGIOUS OPINIo NJ
A few weeks before the death of the late En-
peror Napoleon, he received a visit from the
correspondent Of the Paris Unicers, to whom he
expressed some sentiments concerning his rela-
tions with the church. He said to this gentle
man that he adhered heart and soul, without
any mental reservation, to the dogma of Papal
infalliblity, and he expressed his regret that he
had seemed, shortly before the definition hal
been made at the Vatican council, to oppose 1t.
81 am a submissive son of the Roman Catholic
Church, said the Emperor; 81 believe before
hand all that it teaches, and in spite of all tho
bad theology with which 1 was wearied in the
latter end Of my reign, always promised nv
self to bow my head like an infant as soon as
the church has spoken. j never had any taste
for the subtleties of Gallicanism, while the Ro-
man doctrine satisfied my mind with its clear
ness. A religion which has built the Gothic
Cathedrals-the Cathedral of Exeter, for ex-
ample, which i was admripg the other day-
cannot admit Of Gallicanism, which is wanting
In grandeur and simplicity. Since the Roman
Catholic Church is one, it stands i'm need OF a
chief-a monarch. The king of the church is
the Pope. We who belong to the laity, and are
imperfectly instructed, deserve some indul-
gence, when the authority of so great a name
as Bossuet erred for so long a time. MAY the
Catholic Church pardon us like mother. Had
remained IN power i never wOuld have sane
toned the invasion of Rome, which gave me
infinite pain"

DJALMA AND ADRIFNNE IL MICHIGAN.-In
Pontiac, Mich, Mr.. Leslie j. Arnold recently
committed suicide under somewhat singular
circumstances. His parents were well-to-do
people, he was their only son, and naturally a
great favorite with them. One day he said he
wished to go 10 Detroit, and his father gave him
money for that purpose. Hewent and returned
again in day or two, bringing with him u large
travelling trunk, with which, as he informed
his parents, he intended to go about and see
the world. That evening he left the house. and
was never seen alive in it again except by Net
tie Hammond, who tells singular Story Of the
affair. She says that after leaving home Leslie
came to her fathers house and Invited her 10
commit suicide with him. She agreed to do so,
but only in Lesiie's chamber at his home. Thi-
Their they went, took morphine, got into bed
and in the morning poor Leslie was a corpse.
Nettie says she took more morphine than her
lover did, but the doctors say she took none at
ALL However that may be, She is, according to
her own story, guilty OF murder, since II is good
law that If two persons agree to commit suicide
together, and one of them actually dies, the
survivor must be held guilty Of his deatli-at
least in common law.

JUSTICE In CALIFoRNIA.-The first Alcalde,
in 1851, IN Sreka. California, was known a.
'1Cut-eye Foster" but he left no docket. and
soon ran away, and George &. Vail reigned i'm
his stead. No law book was ever used in his
court; he decided each case on its own merits,
writing out the full history, and his docket IL a
curiosity. In one case brought before him. a
boy had driven a team from oregon, and wor kcd
all winter for a man who declined Ia paw him.
He sold out in the spring, and was leaving sud-
denly. when, on complaint of the boy. Vail and
two constables stopped HIM on the road. Itwas
proved that he had received SO 900 on his sale.
but he declared himself unable "a pay, though
not denying the boys claim. Judge Vail de-
cided in these words:-"COnstable, stand This
man OH his head, shake him well. and see if YOU
can't hear something Drop No sooner said
than done. A vigorous shaking brought IN light
a wallet containing 50 600 in gold dust: the bov
hoy received his claim Of $500; the Judge and
constabies took an ounce apiece for their trou-
bic. and the defendant went his way a lighter
man. Justice like this was cheap at three

HORRIBLE MURDERS AT CALCUTrA.-A hcr-
rible wholesale murder is reported from Calcut-
"a. 1t appears that on Friday week, SAYS the
bombay Gazette of the 30th ult., native of the
DOssad caste, armed with a massive chopper,
sharpened OH both sides. and two knives, set out
OF his house with the intention OF numbering his
wife and his sOn-in-law, between whom, as al
legged by him, an improper intimacy existed.
Not finding them where he expected they would
be, he attacked his daughter who happened first
To come in his way. With a stroke of the chop
per he knocked her scalp clean OF, that the
whole OF her brain was visible. She immediately
expired. In numbering her he Is reported to
have said that had she not been born, and hal
she not married the man. his wife would not
have been estraDged from him. He next at
tucked an old woman of the DOssad caste, and
despatched her in similar manner. Finding
then his mother in the way he dealt her blow
GA the head and she fell down apparently dead.
He stated to the police that he struck her be-
cause he wished To save her the grief which
would Overtake her on his meeting his deserved
punishment. She is in very precarious state,
and no hopes are entertained of her recovery.
He next attacked a woman of the Dhobi caste,
infiicting a severe blow on her head. She il also
in very precariOus state, and not expected to
survive. He then attacked a young woman of
the kahar caste whom he also seriously wounded
on the head, her injuries consisting of several
cuts She is in a precarious condition. After
attacking seven other persons, all of whom he
wounded more or less seriously, he was captured
by an inspector of police.

EPISCOPAL ADVICE TO PoLICKNEy.-The
Bishop Of Manchester, addressing a meeting OF
policemen the other day, said he was not one OF
those stiff starched bishops who would think
there was something wrong in the purposes for
which the company present were assembled that
night. He understood there was temptation
placed in the way OF policemen 10 acquire rep
ntation for sagacity by leading on offenders into
a trap, as he might say. He did not mean to say
that anv OF his hearers had Welded To the tenn
tatiOn to do anything or the kind. But he asked
policemen TO try to prevent, instead OF merely
detecting, crime. They must see many young
lads and lasses of fourteen, fifteen, or sixteen
years OF age, who were going IL the bad, ami
was il not worth while for policemen To say a
word. or to 10 something in a friendly manner
to hinder these lads and lasses from following
their evil course? Ii a policeman managed 10
rescue boy or girl from crime-and he (the
bishop was sure the police sometimes had
chances of doing SO-he would have done some
thing that ought TO give him satisfaction Tor the
whole OF his life, and something much more
blessed than the apprehension Of a confirm ii
criminal.

For removing sprouts and small branches, a
strong pruning knife, sharp, light hatchet, or
the best pruning shears are convenient.
We seldom see an orchard in which the trees

BIELA's CoMET-AstronoIncrsd DO not uniyer-
sally indoTse the idea that the object discovered
by Mr.. Pogson, on the al of December, was
without doubt the lost comet OF Biela. All that
is certain is that Mr. Pogson turned his teie-
scope on the track OF the retreatng meteors of
November q, and saw an object OF cometary
appearance. Ii really Biela's comet something
very extraordinary must have happened to that
body, which, according 10 the very accurate
calculations of its path, would have been in
perihelion on the 18th of October, whereas the
the group OF metcors which produced the shower
seen here on the 9TH of November did not ar
rive at its nearest distance from the sun until
the 18th of December. The earth crossed the
orbit of that comet, with which the meteors ap-
pear to have remarkable a connection, on
November q but the comet itself was far away,
unless some catastrophe had occurred to it 81 nee
last seen, concerning which speculation is quite
al fault. 1t is more likely that what Mr.. Pog-
son saw was another concentration of cometary
