Tho full text of the recent allocution OF tho
Pope, the publication OF which has brought so
many German papers into trouble, is printed N
tie English papers which arrived by tho lass
mails. The particular passage which has glTen
40 much offence to the German Government Ii
aA follows: ..
Our Rrief 1T the Injuries inflicted on the Church IN
italy is much aggravated by the cruel reEsecuons 20
which The Church Ia subjected in the derrnan Empire
where not only by pitfalls but even by open violence IL
s sought to destroy her, because who not only
DO 90 nop ne know tst rcgo, aregae to themselves the
power Of defining the teachings and ne sghts o.
Catholic Church These sn besides hesp'ns CO.
cuon ey to Roman cathoics they bring such aeeusa
lions against lie Bshops, tho clergy and faithful
people, because they viii not prefer ne AVE an% % .ho @
Chnrrh Tho meu who are at the head OF public AZ
fairs should xecocct TINT Of their subjects better
thinas WHICH ara cnsar's md for TINT very reason
render unto God the things which are Gods.
For publishing the above, severn! German
newspapers have been suppressed. In addition
to these illusions to the course OF the German
Government, tho Pope is very severe upon tie
acts Of the italian Government, and declares
void every demonstration Of Church property TN
der tho laws Of the italian Government He II
also crieyed that Switzerland appears to be pur-
suing the same path as Germany; that in Spain
the Clergy Dotation Law is opposed to the Con
corlats and to Justice; aud that the Arnenlant
of Constantinople persist in their rebellion and
have by stratagem deprived the Roman catho,
lies of their immuuities. The only co1nfor
| which the Pope can discover is in the constanc1
and activity Of the Episcopate and the clergy O.
all those countries where, jointly with tho faith
full people, they have defended the rights OF th'
Church.

WHAT WOMEN KNOW ABOUT HAIR.-The
ways in which poor, harmless wives are deceiv-
ed by marble hearted husbands are many and
dreadful;-and among the most dreadful cases
OF deception Is this, which we grieye 70 relate.
An lDoiaDa wife, wearing only half q dozen
pounds or so of somebody else's hair upon her
head, became convinced that life wouldn't be
worth having without the addition of a mound
or two TO the M ass. Acting upon this c0nvic-
ton, she soon by series OF conversations
persuaded her husband that his life wouldn't
be worth having unless the said addition was
immt diaieiy made. Captivating gracefully,
be sent home two switches" from which the
fair lady made her selection. But mark the
Wickedness Of this abandoned mani Before
Jispatching them he carefully changed the
tags upon which the price was marked. put
ting the twenty-five dollar tag upon the ten
dollar switch, and r5cs rers1. After n strict aud
severe examination Of the two switches by his
trusting wife and all her feminine friends, the
one marked 50 was naturally enough chosen.
And that wretehed man, that penurIous dend,
exalted over his treachery 10 that gentle, lovely
woman.
