1--WE ARE THE FAIR SEX. "A short
time since, when taking his customary
walk, attended by bis suite, the Pope
halted before an aviary filed with rare
birds, among them q magnificent pea
cock, which, from its beautiful scarlet
plumage, has received the sobriquet Of
The Cardinal" The bird, which is
quite tame, stepped forth from his cage
and advanced with slow aud stately
pace toward the group, needless of the
injGnctions of his master: "Come on;
don't keep the Pope waiting" Arriving
IN front the Holy Father he stood still,
with head erect and conscious air, as If
saving. admire me- AS the latter
was receiving his shars of petting at the
hands of the Pope, the peahen came up
in her turn, but modes;lv remained IN
the rear Of her mate, as If coSnizant OF
hrilliaucy. HIS Holiness, turning to.
ward his suite, Observed: ''Since there
are no Indies present, may venture to
call your attention to the fact that in
the entire animal tribe, whether voatile,
quadruped, or reptile, the male IS ever
the handsomer. It is only in the hu-
man race that the females claim the
palm OF beauty, having the pretersion

Dr.. ANDREW CoMBE.-Dr. Combe is

well educated in medical science, and

ease of the lungs, to withdraw himself
from the active duties of his profession.
He nad now to watch his own health
with the utmost discipline and caution.
He knew he was suffering from fatal
disease, from which there could be no
hope of cure; but he knew that with the
utmost care and self-control, his life
might be indefinitely prolonged, though
always with feeble and uncertain ten

rions which he saw imposed on him, and
his life was spared during ten years. =
In this period of extreme ill-health,
caused by extensive organic disease, he

which he made important knowledge in

THE PREss MEN AT WAsHINGToE.-S
he reporters gallery was densely
iacked. and, looking around made the
calculation as to how much of the
american press were subseryient to poll
ticians. About 60 persons were II the
gallery and around it. Of these, fully
20 were true, unfinching men, aceus-
toned to hate a sconnirel, and TO know
him by the sense Of susell. These men
are generally young, but worldiy-wise,
DO fanatics, and recognizing their con-
stituency to be the injured public, and
often too self-respecting to attempt to
agree with each other. If the new pa
per-press, in its better sense. ever goes
into caucus, let the flag of the country
be hauled down! About 20 men in the
reporters gallery on this occasion We're
the representatives of the job political
press; and you can tell them by want
of lustre in the eyes, an inordinate in-
afIability, and that pert expression which
intimated that all this attempt to expose
any loyal body WAS mere nonsense. The
rest of the occupants of the gallery were
what we call hangers-on of the press
seedy looking editorial rats, old chaps
holding eleemosyary uewspaper-places,
and discharged idiots who stick on as
if they were subscribing some useful
function to the journal. Altogether, the
press outlook was hopeful. One man
