in his work upon chivalry.. haniidns
that The beautiful !i::!s flower called
Forget Nc Not" was known in Eng
land as early as the time OF Edward III,
and, in note, he gives the following
pretty incident in explanation Of the
name: Two lovers were lettering on the
margin OF lake. on fine summers
evening. when the Indy discovered some:
flowers OF tho Myoso,is growing on the
water, close to the bank of mn island, Mt
some distance from the shore. She ex-
pressed desire to possess them, when
her knight, in the true spirit of chivalry,
plunged into the water, md swimming
to the spot, cropped tho wished-for
plant: INIT his strength wns unable to
fulfill the object of his achievement, and
feeling that he could not regain the
shore. although very near it, hs threw
the flowers upon the bank. and casting
last nffectionate look upon his lady love,
he said, Forget me not, and was bhried
beneath the surging billows."

There is u prospect of moro tele:
graphic cables being laid between Eu-
rope aud the United States. The new
cables projected ure OF lighter construc.
ton than those now laid down. Being
OF less original cost, it is believed that
business can be conducted through them
ut less rate OF toll. and in this the GUS
toners OF the cable will take great into.
rest. Arrangements are said to have
been completed in London for cable of
the kind described, which is to cost but
$500, 200, aud the English newspapers
are anticipating cheapening in the
charges for truns- Atlantic tslegraphing in
consequence. One even goes SO fur as
tn say, that through this medium, tele-
grams may in future cost less in pence
then than they do now in shillings. ="
This is very doubtful; but there is broad
margin for decrease to some figure within
popular reach. AS at present managed,
the advantages of ocean telegraphing are
confined to u very few people.

Information at tic Inspector. G Gencral's
office. The chief officer present plainly
advised him, since the reports of charges
against him had become n1utter of public
notoriety, TO ask for court martini.
This friendly advice lie seemed uot to
like. declaring That the feeling towards
him amongst many army uffcers was
such TINT he did not think he could get
justice before such tribunal. This is
sad confession for general officer to
make. 1t does him little credit. Our
opinion is that, like the Irishman, the
last thing General Howard shonld de-
sire is Justice" He had better seek
that tribunal which will not give it to
him. We suspect the real fear of How.
ard is that court martial will very pro-
badly give lin ''jnstice."

ton that my Government enters upon q
path which I do not approve.
According to the constitution OF my
States, such a case cannot happen, since
the laws and Government measures In
Prussia require my consent as Sovereign
To my deep sorrow, a portion OF my
Catholic subjects have organized for the
past two years q political party which
endeavoured to disturb, by intrigues hos
tile to the State, the religious peace which
has existed in Prussia for centuries, Lead
ing Catholic priests have unfortunately,
not only approved this movement, but
Joined in it, to the extent of open revolt
against the existing laws. 1t will not
have escaped the observation of Your
Holiness that similar indications manifest
themselves at the present time IN. several
European and in some Transatlantic
States. 1t is not my mission to %investi-
gate the causes by which the clergy and
the faithful of one of the Christian denom-
nations can be induced actively to assist
the enemies of all law, but it certainly is
my mission to protect internal peace and
to preserve the authority of the laws In
the States whose government has been
entrusted to me by God. l am conscious
that | owe hereafter an account OF the &C
complishment Of this my kingly duty. l
shall maintain order and law in my States
against all attacks as long as God gives
me the power. | am in duty bound to
do it as a Christian Monarch, even when,
to my sorrow, | have to fulfil this Royal
duty against the servants OF a. Church
which | suppose Acknowledges no less
than the Evangelical Church that the com
mandment of obedience to secular authorl-
ty is an emanation of the revealed will of
God. Many OF the priests in Prussia, sub
ject to Your Holiness, disown, to my re-
greet, the Christian doctrine in this re-
spect, and place my Government under
the necessity-supported by the great
majority of my loyal Catholic and Evange-
Z lical subjects-of extorting obedience to
the law by worldly means. | willingly
entertain the hope that Your Holiness
upon being informed of the true position
of affairs, will use your authority to put
an end to the agitation carried on amid
depIorable distortion of the truth and
abuse of priestIy authority. The religion
of Jesus Christ has, as l attest to Your
Holiness before God. nothing to do with
these intrigues any more than has truth to
whose banner, invoked by Your Holiness,
I unreservedly subscribe
"There is one more expression in the
letter of Your Holiness which l cannot
pass over without contradiction, although
it is not based upon the previous informa-
ton, but upon the belief. of Your Holt
ness-namely, the expression that every
one who has received baptism belongs to
the Pope. The Evangelical creed, which,
as must be known to Your Holiness, l,
like my ancestors and the majority of my
subjects, profess, does not permit US to
accept in our relations with God any
other Mediator than our Lord Jesus Christ.
The difference of belief does not prevent
me from living in peace with those who
do not share mine, and offering Your Holt
ness the expression of my personal devO-
ton and esteem.

THE POPE AND THE EMPEROR
WILLIAM.

Berlin, Oct. IA.
The Emperor has received q letter from
the Pope of which the following is q lite
raj translation
"Vatican, Aug. Z.
Your Majesty,-Tho measures which
have been adopted by Your Majesty's
Government for some time past all aim
more and more at the destruction of
Catholicism. When I seriously ponder
over the causes which may have led to
these very hard measures, | confess that
l am unable to discover any reasons for
such a course. On the other hand, | am
informed that Your Ma iesty does not coun-
~tenance the proceedings of your Govern
ment, and does not approve the harshness
of the measures adopted against the Ca
tholic religion. If, then, it be true that
Your Majesty does not approve thereof
and the letters which your august Majesty
has addressed to me formerly might suffi-
GENTLY demonstrate that you cannot APP
prove that which is now occurFing-if, |
say, Your Majesty does not approve your
Government continuing in the path it has
chosen of further extending it's rigorous
measures against the religion of Jesus
Christ, whereby the latter is most injuri-
ously affected, will Your Majesty, then,
not become convinced that these measures
have no other object than that Of under
mining Your MaieSty's own Throne ? |
speak with frankneSs, for my banner is
truth / speak in order to fulfil one of my
duties, which consists in telling the truth
to all, even to those who are not Catho-
lies, for everyone who has been baptized
belongs in some way or other, which to
define more precisely would be here out
Of place,-beIongs, I say, to the Pope.
Il cherish the COW ctiOn that Your
Majesty will receive my observation, with
your usual goodness, and will adopt the
measures necessary in the present case.
" While offering to Your Most Gracious
Majesty the expression Of my devotion
and esteem, l pray to God that He may
enfold Your Majesty and myself in one
and the same bond of mercy.
His Majesty the Emperor replied as
followS:-
berlin, Sept. 8.
81 am glad that Your Holiness has, as
in former times, done me the honor to
write to me. 1 rejoice the more at this
since an opportunity is thereby afforded
me of correcting errors which, as appears
from the contents of the letter of Your
Holiness of the 18th of August, must have
occurred in the communication you have
received relative to German affairs. If the
reports which are made to Your Holiness
respecting German questions ony stated
the truth, it would not be possible for
Your Holiness to entertain the supposi-
