PORE Prs and Victor Emmanuel have
been exchanging sweet notes on an un'
savory subject, The pope begs to call
the attention othis "most 'illustrious son"
to the existence Of house Of ill'fame
under the very shadow Of the venerable
walls Of st. John Lateran. He compli.
ments him on 1.-The filial prOmptitude"
with which, on q previous occasion, the
king had set his officers to abate a SINH
lar nuisance. The pope complains that
solemn services are interrupted "by the
'brawls and drunken revelry Of harlots
and gamblers" The king, in reply
promises to do what he can, suggesting
the legal Instructions which may lie in
his way. On the previous occasion, as
the pope certifes, the infamy was pro-
tected by certain legal tcchnicalities,'
which the king could only snrmount by
buying the property outright. The cor
respnndence bearsa striking resemblance
to those ridiculous nothings OF reconcile
alton, by which children and lovers man
age to make up the most terrible quar-
rels.

A CheertuI Business OutIOOlk.

[Frum the Boston Traveller, OCtObG isl
The prediction in our business article,
two weeks since have been more than
fulfilled The restoration Of confidence
in trade, however, ha. taken its start in
the West and the South, A few instan-
ces will illustrate this position. The
cattle-dealers, who make the West their
principal field OF OPcratiOns-and they
are about as shrewd judges OF general
markets rs can be found-report the
state of trade in Chicago and its tribu-
taries as never better. The banks are
freely discounting and advancing, the
producers are obtaining cash Tor their
products and the circulation throughout
the business portions has been vastly i'm
proved within the past two weeks. As
Chicago is coniessedly the financial and
business centre Of the great Northwest,
this evidence, from suCh,a source, is en-
couraging. One Of the largest pork
packers in Cincinnati, who has Just LEFT
Boston, made the statement to one OF our
BUSINESS uElus that NlLnlu us IGCuieC'
ton there has not been throughout the
corn.growing sections OF Ohio and Indi'
ana SO large a crop Of corn as this year
The farmers, however, will not sell theiI
corn at twenty cents per bushel, but will
feedlit out to hogs, in fattening Of which
they can get, at present prices, fifty cents
per bushel. He further says the crop o.
hogs is now small, but by the first Of
January it will be immense. The mex
important fact is that the South, though
not making money very fast, is paying
its debts, and the merchants are buying
cautiously. One Of the largest and shrew
dest iobbing houses in Boston reports
that Is what the trade has been anxiously
waiting for for years, and now that 1t is be
ginning to realize the fact, it becomes
hopeful that the crisis has past, with The
future full Of promise,
The most hopeful sign Of the times fol
our merchants is the extreme caution ex
ercised by buyers. Our large commiss
ion houses that formerly made a single
account Of fifty thousand dollars, are nov
making fifty accounts Of thousand
dollars each; where they formally solJ
by the case they are now selling BY the
piece-the result however, is the same.

AsALE Of real estate, amounting to los

A SALE Of real estate, amounting to lbs
lots, at New York, last week, showed a
depreciation Of from % to 50 per cent
within three years. The real estate pinch
is almost as bad at New York as any
where in the country, il not the worst.
The real estate ring has so long DONNA
ted the city and taxed the public for the
most prodigal improvements that it
deemed itself secure and prolonged the
process Of bull-speculation even after
the panic. The collapse has not been
submitted to without prodigious, and not
always unsuccessful, efforts to involve
the city in further improvements. Inc
Herald has "squcaled" pretty sharply
about the disregard Of the great real
estate interest" shown by Controller
Green, and on that ground clamored for
his removal. We anticipate that the
present depreciation and the general de-
sire for lover and truer valuation will
render municipal retrenchment somewhat
easier for the next few years.

THE Catholic Universe, published at

Republicans carried the recent election,
The explanation is as follows;
A class Of people who carry from Eu.
rope a deadly hatred Of tho Church
against which their toreiathers rebelled,
and who, we fear, are far from being
proof against the temptation Of offered
gold, did the work for Hayes. With the
solid thinking American people, particu-
larly those Of the country, the public
school deception and appeals to Protes.
tant prejudices had no effect. The towns
and cities, inhabited largely by Protes-
tants and infdel Germans and BOheminns,
gave a majority to RadiCalism at least
three times that which has given the gov
eminent Of the State to the Republicans.

her attentions to him as if she
wished to obliterate every recollec-
ton Of the disagreeable affair from
his mind. Stokes detected Wash
ington in bestowing upon his
daughter several mods and winks,
and the jealous old man took it up
in high dudgeon. But Washin gton
had that morning fortified himself
with a full glass of gin and bitters,
and felt his courage equal to the
occasion. 81 wish you would leave
off noticing my daughter" said
Stokes. "Come, come, old man."
said Washington, "you must know
that your daughter loves me and
[ love her. Give us your blessing,
old man, and let us become one
from this hour" ''But they say you
have one wife already" said Mrs.
Stokes eff whatthey say is true"
said Washington, ''it makes but
little odds these troublesome times"
W ashington at this time was over
fifty years of age. Nevertheless
Jane threw her long arms around
his neck like a coil of rope, and
exclaimed, "You are mine, body
and heart, and no one shall separate
u.s." Just at this juncture the
sash of a window was raised, and
head with bloodshot eyes and
HAIR like ropeyarns was thrust in at
the easement. 1t was no other
parsonage than the wife of Wash
ington, and she Immediately de-
clared to that effect. She bolted in
at the W indow, and, after bestowin 9
several hearty slaps upon the jaws
of Jane, she seized her husband by
the hair of the head and dragged
him through the window.
Lest the reader, concludes the
correspondent, may think me sac
religious in thus speaking of the
great W aShington, the "Father of
his Country" | will explain that
the ashington alluded to was not
the hero Of the ''little hatchet," but
one Peter Washington, belonging
to Passamaquoddy-a noted Gov :
boy and horse thief, who was the
terror Of all the farmers upon White
Plains during the revolution.

A WIFE SAWS OFF THE LEG OF

A WIFE SAWS OFF THE LEG OF
HER HUsBAND.-Ye sterday after
noon a man, whose name could not
be learned, and who, with his
family, lives near the corner of
Williams alley aud Fountain street,
got into quarrel with his wife.
Both were in that st: tie known as
two thirds seas over" but, instead,
of feeling happy, 1t affected them
Just the opposite. They pitched
into each other, tore each others
hair and raised such rumpus gen
orally that the neighbors sent for
some of the boys at the engine house
to go down AUD put stop to the
disturbance. Some of the boys
did 90 down, but when they got
there the trouble had subsidized, and
to all appearances ''peace held away
supreme" AS the sequel will show,
however, it was not so peaceful as
1T seemed. By some diplomatic
course or other, the woman sue
ceeded in getting her lord and
master to bed. Her next move was
to get bottle of chloroform which
was ever at hand, and administer a
nice little dose to her husband,
which soon put him to sleep and
made him wholly oblivious to what
was going on around him. The
next act was to procure an old saw,
with which she proceeded to do
job in surgery that would put pro-
fessional surgeon to blush. Begin
ming at the lower end Of the mans
leg, she commenced saving until
she had severed that useful append
age in twain. He, totally uncon-
scious Of what was going on, slept
on, ''the sleep of the innocent"
while she, after the job was done,
looked on, watching his life blood
ebb slowly away. Somehow the
neighbors outside got wind of what
was going on inside the house and
rushed IN in time to stop the bleed
ing but at last accounts it was ques-
ton whether the man would live or
not. For some time past the man
has been employed on the new
county buildings, now IN process of
cree ton Clereland Leuder.

SOMETHING WORTH KNOWING.
Every little while, writes cor
respondent, we read in the papers of
some one who has stuck q rusty
nail into his foot or knee or hand
or some other portion of his person,
and the lockiaw has resulted there
from, of which the patient died. If
every person in the world was
aware of a perfect remedy for all
such wounds, and would apply it,
then all such reports must cease.
But although We can give the rene
dy we cannot enforce it's applica-
ton. Some will not employ it be-
cause they think it is too simple :;
others have no faith in 1t when
they read it; while others often
think such wound of small account
1bN tloO " vi III luooibS wv Il, uIIll IL
is too late to do good. Yet all such
wounds can be healed without such
fatal consequences as follow them.
The remedy is simple, almost al
ways on hand, and can be applied
by any one, and what is better is
infallIble. 1t is simply to smoke
such a wound or bruise that is in
famed, with burning wool or wool
en- cloth. Twenty minutes in the
smoke of wool will take the pain
out of the worst wound, and repeat
ed once or twice, it will allay the
worst case of inflammation arising
from any wound we ever saw.
People may sneer at the cold WON
al S remedyo rs much as they please,
but when they are afflicted, just let
them tlv it. 1t has saved many
lives and much pain, and is VOL thy
