but which, after all that had happened, had better
be made public. In 1869, when the Wurtemberg
Government had occasion 70 complain of the action
Of the Papacy, the Wurtemberg Envoy at Munich
was instructed TO make representations and IN
a conversation which passed between the Envoy
and the Nuncio, the latter said the Roman Church
was free only in America, and perhaps England
and Belgium. In all other countries the Roman
Church had to look to revolution as the sole
means of securing its rightful position. This.
then, was the view of the priestly d~iplomatist

come to pass, but We had the war of 1870 instead.

Gcumenical Council was cut short on account
of the war and that very different votes would
have been taken by the Council had the French
been victorious. / know from the very best
sources that the Emperor Napoleon was dragged
into the war very much against his will by the
Jesuitical influences rampant at his Court that
he strove hard to resist those influences that IN
the eleventh hour he determined to maintain peace:
that he stuck to this determination for half an

There is a superstition that the presentation Of

in a mall town where there is a great deal of
primitive simplicity. that the presentation Of a
shirt by a woman to the mar she wants to marry

tried it, and made her lover a glistening white
shirt with her own pretty hands. He retired TO
his clearinghouse, put it on, and went straight
way to see and make love to another girl. Clad
in a clean shirt he felt above the seamstress who
had made it, and she lost his coveted company.
She did not sit down and whine over the linen
that had gone astray, bat took a pistol in her deli
cate hands and tripped her way to the boarding
house aforesaid. She met the unsuspecting rover,
and presenting the pts toll, told him to take off that
shirt. lie hesitated and was lost. He saw des-
peration in those eyes and death in the pistol.
He peeled and handed the girl the soiled garment,
which she took on the point of her pistol and put
into the stove. And the fame went out and her
love went up the chimney with the smoke. He
sought the secrecy of his chamber to mourn over
the depletion of his wardrobe, and she, cooked and
primed, went off for another lover,

NEWSPAPER BY-LAws.-1. Be brief. This is
the age of teIegraphs and stenography.
2. Be pointed. Don't write all round q sub
iect without hitting it.
8. State facts, but don't stop to moralize. It
is a drowsy subject. Let the reader do his own
dreaming.
4. Eschew prefaces. Plunge at once into your
subject, like a swimmer into cold water.
5. If you have written a sentence that you think
particularly fine, draw your pen through it. A
pet child is always the worst in the family.
6. Condense. Make sure that you really have
an idea, and then record it in the shortest possible
terms. We want thoughts in their quintessence.
Z. When your article is completed. strike out
nine-tenths of the adjectives.
