not one has extended its area in fifty years, save

that it was DOLLY by a great effort that the Irish

Poper and Cardinals.

The recent additions made to the Sacred Col
lege will give interest to some official facts and
figures 10 regard to the number and natiOualities
of the vearers of the red hat.
On November l. 1874, there were 6 cardinal
bishops, 81 cardinal priests, aud cardinal dea-
cons. Total, 80. The college, when complete,
has 20 members. The nationalities of these fifty
are as follows: Italians, 80; Spanish, 4; French,
g.; Germans. 8; English, Austrian. Hungarian,
and Portuguese, each 1. OF the FIVE lately srea-
ted there is one each from America, England and
Poland, and two from Italy. The Eve who are
named, but not appointed, are, We believe, oil
Italians. OF the fifty cardinals on the list the
first of November last. were created BY Pope
GregoriO XVI. and AZ by Che present pontif.
Since Plus TX. came to the papal chair lO4 car
diuals have died, so Of those we're of bis creation.
Counting from the accession Of Stefano III. in
752. who was the first temporal sovereign in the
sat Of St. Peter, there have been up to the pres
ent date, l63 pOpes. The following are their re-
spective nationalities Italians, 1871 French -,
Germans Z, Spaniards 2, and Que each from Eng
year 752 to 939 there was an uubroken success
ion of Italian popes. From 943 to 996. from
1902 to IO46, from lO61 to 1888, from ll24 to
1854, from ll5s to 1861, from 1877 to 1905, from
1878 to l409, from I4l0 TO 1855, from 1853 to
1892 from 1903 to 1913, and from 1928 to the
present time, there have also been unbrOken sue
cessiOns of Italian popes. A line Of French
pOpes extended from 1905 to 1878, but the IA
lives of other countries have received the tiara
only a; long separated intervals.

in mind the composition of he Sacred College as

The other night as the last car - on the
Michigan avenue rocte was turning around on the
table at the corner of Woodward and Jefferson
avenues, two young men, who had fixed up a
straw man IN good shape, helped him aboard and
seated him at the end furthest IRON the diver.
The dummy man had bis hat pulled low, his
arms down, and was so brAced up against the end
Of the car that "he looked as much passenger

as it turned into Michigan avenue an old lady got
aboard. She paid her fare. the two young men

At First street the driver jingled his bell for
fare, and the two young men and the old woman
looked over at the straw man. The car moved
up to Third street, and the driver looked through
the window and yelled Fare" and jingled the
bell again. There being no response, be opened
the door and called out to the straw man.
Say, you! You want to pay your tare!"
There was no answer, aud after going half q
block he shouted out again

One of the young men sat opposite dummy.

Moody,s style.

The New York Observer gives long and in
teresting account of the first meeting held by
Messrs. Moody aud Sankey in London. Eight
cen or twenty thousand gathered to hear the
Word spoken BY them. The following extract
from Mr.. MoOdy's address viii give an idea of
bis style:
Gods ways are not our ways. nor His thoughts
our thoughts, and we must not mark onr
channels for toe Holy Ghost to work in when be
comes. When God was going to destroy the
world, and wanted an ark built, he did not tell a
nation to do It. but one man, and be man sho
was contemplate in the sight Of the world, for
the world laughed at him and Knocked him.
What was highly esteemed BY man was an abomi-
nation to God, and what vas highly esteemed by
God was an abouination 70 man. When he
wanted to bring his people out Of Egypt, his
way Of dong 1t was quite different from any that
man would have adopted. He did not send an
army with chariots, but man who had been forty
years on the back side Of the desert, aud whose
name had been forgotten among the children Of
Israel, man SLOW Of speech, 3 Suffering man.

suferings. The barn door was wide open and .

neighbor. BE cane to her assistance, and exam
lining the ground about the barn found horse
tracks leading to the road and along the road in
the direction Of Harpersville. SchOuten hitehed
up his team, and arOusing another neighbor, Mr..
Plintz, to accompany him, started to follow up
the horses tracks and see whether they were in
any way connected with the disappearance Of the
old mau. ~
The horse was tracked to Harpersvie, and
from there to other villages, thrOughall of which
it had passed without stopping. It was easily
followed, the tracks being fresh and undisturbed.
The trail was kept as far as Colesville, Broone
County, where it led to house in the village and
stopped. Schouten and Plintz made inquiries at
this house and found it occupied by a brother
in-law of Mr.. Howe's, and that the old gentle
man was there abed. He had ridden np to the

His relatives were greatly startled at his singu-
lar advent among them, and at first thought he
was insane. They soon discovered, however, that
he was in state Of sonambulism, and at once put
him to bed. Schouten and Pliutz arrived at the
house about eight o'clock, and the old gentleman
was still asleep. The gravest fears were expressed
as to the result of this extraordinary ride, his
physical condition being so precarious. Mr..
Howe awoke soon after the arrival or the men
searching for him. He was completely dumfoun-
ded when told where be was. He had no recol.
