The italian Minister of the Interior has
issued circular to the projects in which he
has received information that the inter.
nationalists are trying TO excite strikes
everywhere, and that the object Of the con.
gress which is to be held at Geneva is to

urges the authorities to distinguish between
strikes which result from ordinary causes
and those strikes which. excited by agita.
tors. are got up for the purpose of render.
ing agreements between masters and men
impossible. The prefeets are requested to
see that the laws are properly observed.

Punch has a pleasant satire on the pleas.
ures and perils of modern pilgrimages. 1t
represents an ancient pilgrim with his staff
and gown saying to modern one in swell
Costume. lighting his cigar after alightins
from his dog-cart at a railway station: "Ah,
fair sir, all is changed since my time! No
peas in your shoes now; no toll. no robbery,
no danger. everything made easy: in fact,
quite pleasant excursion" The modern
pilgrim resents this view Of the want of
self-sacriice in the pious journey. and thus
retorts Oh the old school devotee: mo rob-
berry. no dsngeri Does it occur to you, my
venerable friend. that our pilgrimages are
made by rail!" Whereupon the aucien: o..

ABOUT BOOTS.

1t is little singular how we'll pair
of boots can be made to fit at the store
You may not be able to get your foot
only half way down the leg at the first
trial, but that's because your stocking
is sweaty, or you haven't started right
and the shoemaker suggests that you
start again, and stand up to it, and he
throws in little powder from a pepper,
box to aid you. And as you stand up
and pound down your foot, and partly
tip yourself up, and your eyes stick out
in an unpleasant manner, and every
vein in your body appears to be on the
point of bursting, and all the while that
dealer stands around and eyes the oper.
alton as intently as if the whole affair
were perfectly new and novel to him.
When your foot has finally struck bot
tom there is faint impression on your
mind that you have stepped .into an
open stove, but he removes it by SOL
emnly observing that he never saw a
boot fit quite as good as that. You may
suggest that your toe presses too hard
against the front, or that some of the
bones on the side of the foot are too
much smashed, but he says that is al
ways the way with a new boot, and that
the trouble will entirely disappear in a
few days. Then you take the old pair
under your arm, and start for home. as
animated as relic of 1912, all the while
feeling that the world will not. look
bright and happy to you again until you
have Drained that shoemaker. You limp
down town the next day, and smile all
the while with your mouth, while your
eyes look as if you were walking over an
oyster-bed barefoot When no one is
looking, you kick against post or some
| other obstruction, to show fondness fol
stopping and resting against something
| that will sustain your weight. When
you get home at night you go for those
old boots, with an eagerness that cannot
be described, and the remarks you make
on learning that your wife has disposed
of them to widow woman in the sub.
urbs, are calculated to Immediately de.
populate the earth of women and shoe
makers generally -Donbavy Neaos.

THE CONGRESSIONAL BLOW A,
THE NEWSPAPER PRESS.

In the expiring hours of the last Con-
gress. a blow was struck at the newspa-
per press which may yet rebound and
crush its authors. Some of the leaders
in Congress, especially the Senate branch
thereof, become angered at the persist
ent appeals of the newspaper press of all
political shades. for a repeal of the
franking privilege, and partl, in retail
alton, partly in the hope of checking the
agitation, the Senate Committee surrep-
titiously engrafted the following clause
in the bill to repeal:
Provided, That all laws and parts of
laws permitting the transmission by
mail of any free matter whatever it be,
and the same are hereby repealed from
after June 80, 1873.
With this appended the bill passed
both Houses. and not till after its pas
sage was its object generally known,
even to those whose breath gave it the
force of the law. This is shown by the
subsequent action of the populer branch
Of Congress, which attempted to pass an.
explanatory bill continuing the postal
freedom of the press
A strict construction of the act as it
now stands compels subscribers, to
county papers, to pay postage thereon,
even If they receive them in the counties
where published-and compels payment
of postage at the Office of delivery on all
newspaper exchanges.
Recurring to the changes affected by
the act repeating the Franking Privi-
lege, we assume this position, and hope
newspapers generally will impress it up
on the proper authority-that, under all
circumstances, the Postmaster General,
whose duty it is to construe acts affect
ing his Department, should at once con-
slider the validity of the clause quoted,
and if reasonable doubt is raised,
should give newspaper publishers the
benefit of it. The object of the act, as
stated the title and throughout the dis
cussion. was simply to repeal the Frank
ing Privilege. No other question was
raised. 1t was not the intention of 9th.
er than few of the aw-makers to i'm
pose new burdens upon the newspapers
OF Une land, and since at least one branch
of Congress attempted to rectify the
mistake, there is abundant ground fol
setting aside that clause of the act until
the incoming of another Congress. The
Postmaster General has this power; the
question of intention is plain in at least
one of the component branches Of gov
ernment, and intention is after all the
main ingredient in the correct construc
ton of law. Here is Creswells oppor
tunity. He should Immediately i'm
prove it, and when this is done ther,
need De no fear of the action of the Con
gress which meets in December next

1t is not long since that a Chicago
judge decided that newspaper report
er may visit gambling houses and even
places of worse repute, in his official Ca
pacity, without being subject to arrest
for being found in such questionable
places. Now Judge Gill of Louisville
decides that reporter may carry con-
cealed weapons without rendering him.
self liable under statute prohibiting pri.
vate citizens from Juggling about arma-
ments. Decidedly the reporter is be-
coming. as he deserves to be, privi-
legged person. If some other judge will
now add to the decisions for his benefit
a third to the effect that he may not be
proceeded against in action for debt,
then he will have reason to be truly hap
py. Emancipate him, in short, from all
the prescriptions which hedge about
meaner mortals and what may we not
expect from his untrammelled genius.

LEARN TO SAY NO.


In the journey of life, mid Its varying scenes,
Thro' its highways and by-ways as onward We go,
Oh shun sins alurement which oft intervenes,
Follow firmly the right and learn to say
And the song of the siren most sweetly will flow,
Remember they re charming you but to destroy;
Be watchful, be wary, and learn to say
When the tempter assumes his loveliest form,
Oh flee from his for We II reap what ye sow
Tho the may be peerless, there cometh storm
If evil be cherished then learn to say

FILTH BREEDING.-Judge Hugh L.
Brooks says that flies bred by filth and
putrefication, scavenger beetles, larvae of
gnats, dragon flies, and ephemere, re-
move filth, cleanse stagnant water. and
save mankind from malaria and death.
Without their agencies, vast districts
would be depopulated. Flies and mus
qultoes do not come unless they are
needed. He suggests to fretting house.
wives, that if they can induce their rec
reant husbands to scrape the barn. yards
in carly spring, and allow no subsequent
accumulations of the stable. bury every
dead carcass of chicken or of mouse.
make frequent application of dried earth
to privy and to sink-holes. thoroughly
drain all marshy places-get the men to
do this. and they themselves secure well
their indoor eatables, and send to the
garden miscellaneous slops, they will
think better of Providence and the flies.
True valor is fire; bullying is smoke.

THE TWO CHURCH BUILDERS.

"A famous king would build church,
temple vast and grand;
And, that the praise might be his own,
He gave strict command
That none should add the smallest gift
To aid the work he planned.
And when the mighty dome was done,
Within the noble Frame
Upon tablet broad aud fair,
In letters all afame
With FURNISHED gold, the people read
The royal builders name.
Now when the King, elate with pride,
That night had sought his bed
He dreamed he saw an angel come,
"a halo round his head)
Erase the royal name, and write
Another i'll its stead.
What could it meanl Three times that night
That wondrous vision came;
Three times he saw that angel hand
Erase the royal name,
And write a woman's in its stead,
In letters all afame.
Whose could it be He gave command
To all about his throne
To seek the owner Of the name
That on the tablet shOne;
And so it was the courtiers found
widow poor and lone.
The King, enraged at what he heard,
Cried Bring the culprt here p
And to the woman trembling
He said " tits very clear
That you have broken my command;
Now let the truth appearP
''Your Majesty" the widow said
can't deny the truth
love the Lord my Lord and yours
And so in simple sooth
broke your Majestys command,
Il crave your royal ruth y
"And since had no money, Sire,
Why, l could only pray
That God would bless your majesty;
And when along the way
The horses drew the stones, gave
To one wisp of hay
"Ah now see," the King exclaimed,
''Selfglory was my aim;
The woman gave for love of God,
And not for worldly fame;
'Tis my command the tablet bear
The pious widows namew
