An ECONOMICAL HUsBAND.-A few days ago a
couple from Iowa, on their way East. had to stop
in Detroit, owing to the wife's illness. They
went to a hotel, and for the first day or two the
husband didn't complain of the cost. but when
the wife grew worse and a doctor was called in and
q nurse employed he began to hang on to the
dollars which were demanded. On the fifth day
the doctor looked serious. and said that the woman
would probably die. The husband consulted with
the hotel clerk and with a freight agent, and go
ing back to his wife he leaned over her and
sobbed
"Ohl Sarah Jane! you mustn't die here :"
~ don't want to leave you, Philetus," she
replied, " but | fear that my time has come"
DON'T oh, don't die here - he went on.
If my time has come / must co. she said.
Yes, l suppose so, but if L could only get
you back home first, I'd save at least forty dollars
on funeral expenses, and forty dollars don't grow
on every bush !"-Detroit Free Press.

The PoPE ON INFALLIRILTTT.-Recently the
Pope delivered an address to the Academy of the
Catholic Religion, the text of which has been re-
published by the Journal, of Florence. In the
course of it the Holy Father made the following
remarks on the question of infallibility: "Among
the different subjects which you viii have to treat
there is one which seems to me of special import
ance, and that is to bring to nothing the efforts
that are being made to falsify the idea of Ponti6cal
infallibility! OF all these efforts that which
seems the fullest of malice consists in attributing
to the infallibility of the Pope the right of de-
posing soyereigns and of absolving subjects from
their allegiance. Without doubt this right has
sometimes been exercised by the Popes in their
supreme struggles, but it never had anything in
common with their infailibility, and its source
was not In infallibility, but in the %pontifcal
authority. Moreover, the exercise of the right
in the ages of faith-when men recognized in the
Pope, what be really is, the supreme judge of
Christendom, and acknowledged the advantages of
his tribunal for the solution Of great questions
arising between people and their sovereigns-the
exercise of that right had spread itself, seconded
as it ought to have been by public law and the
general agreement of the nationalities, to the
gravest interests of the States and their chiefs.
The conditions of the present day are greatly
changed, and only malice can coniound two things
so different infallibility in regard to revealed
principles, and the rights which the Popes exer-
cised in virtue Of their authority when then the
welfare of society demanded it. Our enemies
know this as well as we, and it Is easy to see why
they call up this confusion of ideas and put forth
hypothesis in which nobody believes. They invent
these pretexts in order to afiict US and to excite
princes against the church. There are some who
wish ] should explain and render still more clear
the definition of the council. / will not do it. 1t
is clear enough in itself, and has no need Of fur
Their explanations or commentaries"

policy. The German thought be wuald do 50,

"Yes, just as soon a. you can fx the papers,"
said the German.
No quicker said that done. The agent pulled
the application from his pocket, and there upon
the table which contained the remains of their
departed friend made out the preliminary docu-
ment and had it signed A moment after the
agent, who had entered a mourner, left the house

acquaintance and to the officers of the company,
and was soon promoted for his excessive keenness.

CHItDREN TO Play ON SUNDAY.-If the play Of
little children is in itself innocent, and not of a
nature to disturb others Il mean seriously, for
people are much too easily disturbed), why
not let them play on the Sabbath? But the ex-
ample, says one. The example? It is just what
it should be. IL is an example OF 90 sweet rea-
sonableness,'' worthy Of imitation. 1t is not an
example of worldly buying and selling, or of
reveling, or unseemly riotiDg. So far from con-
ficting with the grand old fundamental rule of
love to God and ones n~eighbor, it may and should
be made a means Of promoting both. The plays
Of the children are their best opportunities of
learning the Golden Rule; while, on the other
hand, let any parent strictly forbid playing Of any
sort, and enforce an unnatural ~quietness of con-
duct, 81 because it is Gods holy day. and the
unreasonable () little soul straightway rises in
rebellion. sob! l wish it was Monday. l hate
Sunday, becauSe L can't do any thing l like ON
Sunday" In polemics, whenever an argument
proves too much. 1t proves nothing and falls to
the ground. SO in the settlement of the Sunday
question, a Jewish or Puritan Interpretation in
behalf OF the little ones is only a stone of STUN
bling and rock of ~offense, a bar to all real settle
ment Of this momentous question. Who that
ponders this subject does not feel forebodings as
to the Sunday Of the future? And as the children
Of to-day will, tomorrow, hold in their hands the
power over these questions Of the morals Of
America, let us be wise enough to implant in
their hearts q genuine love and therefore true
reverence for that pearl of all days. Let us
" take heed that we offend not one Of these little
ones. "-lndepenGenf.

Communicative to the New York Graphic.I
A Man History Has Stepped Over.

Arthur Macarthur, Judge of the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia, gave me an account
of Pike, last summer. Said he: 81 heard Of
Albert Pike as being an Indian, or Texan ranger.
or something. He came to our Court and stood
up there like Moses or some patriarch. His long,
gray hair in ringlets fell down his back and
shoulders. He stood between six and seven feet
high, and stout in proportion, weighing, L should
think, three hundred or four hundred pounds. A
look of the frontiersman, the poet, and the lawyer
seemed mixed in his face, with n type of some
thing heather and antique. He had a big ban
dana handkerchief in his fist, clenched into a
little ball. Ever and anon he drew this across
his nose, and then seized it in his fist again.
And then he rolled off law and learning, solemn
and right on the line of his argument, as practi-
cal as could be, but his illustrations and quota
tions were rare and unusual. l was astonished.'
Albert Pike is a man history has stepped over.
There is no man in the world of SO many sides to
his character, and SO plain withal. He was born
at Newburyport, Mass, the son of a shoemake
A willful, poetical spirit took him to Mexico, and
he returned In a pack-train as a mule-driver, from
Chihuahua to Fort Smith. Settling down in a
printing Office at Little Rock, he became an
editor, lawyer, and chief of the Wing party,
which he led with unfinching consistency through
perpetual minority down to the civil war, fighting
meantime in the Mexican war, and doing the
Government business of the Cherokees. lie be-
came rich and celebrated. Quarreling with JEFF
ferson Davis soon after the rebellion began, he
Withdrew from the contest, and at the close was
poor. He removed to Washington about 1867,
and opened a law Office with Robert johnson.
His home is at Alexandria, where, with a yiyaci-
Gus and intelligent daughter, Pike spends his
time in a large library, containing perhaps s, 1000
volumes, elegantly rebound-the collections ola
lifetime. His taste for books extends to their
covering, and he has a passion for elegant print
ing in common and colored ink, all bis own vol
umes on Masonry and Hindoo philosophy being
produced in this way by his amateur disciples.
Fine swords, dueling pistols which be had used
on the field, a collection of elaborate pipes, which
he smokes pretty much all the time, and strange
things of virtu, are parts of his surroundings.
His poems have been collected and reissued with
in the past two years, and he has written a series
of books on Masonry, which, queerly enough,
have carried him from his apparently trivial
theme back to medieval Jewish and finally San
scrit Masonry, as he believes. Not being a Ma
son, 1 am only aware that, either as a poet or a
scholar, Pike has traced the germs of Masonry
beyond the vestibule of history. He is a Sauscrit
scholar, and has composed some abstruse treatise,
now undergoing publication in London, which is
spoken of with expectancy by his friends.

The SECRET OF ANGLo-SAxoN PowER.-The ma
tion that no longer has need or desire for an in
crease of Its population is hopelessly past it's
period of progress and its prime. This fact is
fully recognized by Great Britain, and she owes
her supremacy among the nations, her peace and
prosperity to-day, to the good fortune which has
gwen her ample colonial possessions for the enter
prise and expansion of the surplus population
which is constantly swarming out of the home
hive, so that in every essential feature, most of
them have remained as truly Englishmen abroad
as at home, the people of our country excepted.
1t is the lack of these possibilities of colonial ex-
pansion, giving scope in other lands for the ener-
gies which could find no peace at home, that has
cost France and Spain SO much in loss of prestige
and power, in civil tumults and change Of place
from the front rank of nations, giving to the So
called Anglo-Saxon race, according to the pro-
phecy of NJ. Provost Paradol, the destiny of domi-
mating the world, within two centuries, doubtful
as it was which race would mould the world to
its image" before France failed in Florida and
Canada, and Spain iOosed her grasp upon our
continent and almost everything but the 1" gem of
the Antilles" over which her hapless sons are
now engaged in the fraternal pastime OF cutting
each other throats.-The SOUTh.
