THE POPE ON Mr.. GLADsToNE.-Rome
Nov. 10.-This morning the Pope, who has
recovered from his indisposition, after re-
ceiving the Bishop of Eucharist, admitted
several English Catholics to an audience.
In addressing them, he said:
"a former Minister of yonr country,
whom had believed rather moderate, and
who, to say the truth, had never while in
Office manifested arrogance or violence to-
ward the Catholic Church, intoxicated by
the proceedings of another Minister in an
other State, has suddenly come forward,
like viper, assailing this bark ofSt. Peter
| have not read the book, and l have no
great desire to read i1lasphemies, but from
what understand, the Minister whom
they call Liberal fatters the Catholics of
that nation and leads them to believe that
wish those subjects to become disloyal to
their sovereign and the laws of their coun-
try. Puzzled at beholding the vast pro-
gress made by that great nation in the
path of the true faith, the triumph of the
Church by interpreting after hiS own IA
shion the will of this poor Vicar of Christ.
great king (Charlemagne) said that
even should the Church impose heavy
burdens on the conscience Of the popula-
ton, the Catholics should bear them from
their interest in the communion of the
Church; but our dog,nas, far from being
! burdens, are light. Those who will walk
astray are not Catholics; they are worse
than intidels aud Professionals, because
calling themselves Catholics, they daily
rebel against God and the laws of the
Church. at ..lf

GRANT AND COLD WHIsKY.-The Wash
ington correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Commercial says: .
renewal of the discussion of the Presidents
fondness for drink, and of the manifest de-
plorable effects of yielding to the cravings
of his appetite. 1t is boldly charged that
he has been frequently, of late, on the rag
ged edge of the 'j'm-jams." Whether
those making the charge are we'll inform.
ed or not is not known, but it is certain
that His Excellency's appearance lends
coler to the assertion. He has changed
greatly within the last four years. AbHn-
dant gray hairs have come, especially in
his whiskers But he has acquired within
eighteen months puffy and flabby look,
and the dimmed eyes that are not usually
produced by rigidly temperate life. Ev'
cry once in while royal admirer of his
Excellency comes from White House in-
terview with shocked manner and pro-
truding eyeballs, to take one aside and in
a horror-stricken whisper confile tn e
dreadful suspicion that, after all, these
stories, heretofore set down to partisan
malice, have foundation in fact. Party
men are SO drilled in this country to 10y
atty to party that they unhesitatingly &C
credit to malice everything they hear, not
praiseworthy, charged against their party.
Occasionally they awake to the fact that
it is possible for "we-uns" to err even with
our eyes wide open. Dnring the currency
excitement last spring and summer many
good Republicans, gathered here to wit
ness and take hand in the combat, as
tonished themselves and their friends by
asserting that Grant had heen yielding to
the seductive and overpoweripg influence
of cold whisky.

AN INFANT KILLED BY JEALOUS PAR
Rors.-Two young married people, a
Monsieur and Nine. Chalban, who oc-
cupied the second floor of house in
the Rue des Moines at Batignolles, were
the fortunate possessors Of a fine infant
two weeks old, and also of pair of
splendid blue and scarlet parrots. Re-
Gently the young couple quilted the
room for short time, leaving the child
asleep in its cradle and the two parrots
sitting on their respective perches.
When they returned what was their
horror in beholding the parrots perched
upon the sides of the cradle, and en-
gagged in tearing the face of the help
less baby with their large and powerful
beaks.
The father, in the first excess of his
fury and distress, killed the two birds,
but he was too late to save his child,
who died in a few hours from the
wounds inflicted upon it. 1t was for
tunate circumstance that it did not sur
vive its injuries, as its eyesight had
been totally destroyed. Jealousy is
supposed to have been the motive that
impelled the parrots to this unusual
act Of ierocity, as, before the birth Of
the infant, they had been much petsed
aud caressed, and since that time they
had been comparatively neglected.

THE COUNTRY PREEs.-It is fact you
can reach the country trade and public
mnch cheaper aud far more effectually by
advertising in tho standard papers of the
country than by any other means. The
money invested in expensive cards and
costly circulars is capital sunk, and we
entertain serious doubts of any one ever
having secured q customer BY the newfan-
gled giveaways, or glittering gew-gaws,
so lavishly distributed by tlashy trades
men.
The old established weekly newspaper
is after all the most advantageous medium
for the city dealer to reach the country
customer; it is read from the topmost line
in the left hand corner of its title. page to
the end letter of the final word on tho last
, page, misunderstanding 4he highest appre'
citation of the country editor-we would
observe that the advertisements are a.
carefully read, and not unfrequently long
er borne in remembrance than the more ed
flying contents of the paper. 1t is safe t.
assume that the country paper is read by
an average of ten persons to each subscri
Der; it is retained in the house Of the eco
nonlic farmer or mechanic from week t,
week as a matter of reference, unless loan
ed to the less thrifty neighbor, who is to-
mean to take a paper, and too sensible t.
Ido without it when he can obtain it b,

Died i:

AT his Home, on Bayou Rapides, on the
5th inst, RICHMOND ARCHINARD, in
the list year of his age.
The deceased was a native Of Rapides,
whose parents were the honored pioneers
of civilization here, sprung from race of
men of which but too few are left with us !;
was true gentleman of the old school,
retired, but sociable, strictly correct in his
dealings with his fellow-men, and a fast
friend of all the honorable men of Rapides,
who graced her soil in by-gone days. Just
passed the allotted three-score and ten, he
lived an honored and upright life, and on
his native heath gave up his life, with the
resignation of a christian gentleman, and
calm and serene as one conscious of hav-
ing done his duty OIL earth. Peace, ever
lasting peace, to thee, old friend!
