On the 5th of MAY (Friday J. the anniver-
sary of Pope Plus ", another band of pill
Rrims from Franco was received at the
Vatican. They we're assembled in the
Saia Ducale, and were over one thousand in
number. Long before twelve o'clock the
pilgrims thronged the magnificent halls of
the Papal residence, and Cardinals, Bish-
ops, and Chamberlains, together with
mobiles and gentlemen who had the privi-
lege of entry, sought to get convenient
post to see the reception of the pilgrims
and hear the Pope's answer to their ad
dress. The Comte de Damas was the
spokesman and read the address in a clear
voice. When he had finished, the Pope
rose from his throne and delivered one of
those inprOmptu discourses for which he
is 30 famous. At the termination Of his
speech o general murmur of applause sue
ceeded, and the faces of many of the audi
tors were bathed with tears. The Pope
withdrew Immediately after the business
of the audience was over, being fatigued
with the exertion of receiving the felicita
tions of 30 many hundreds of fervent ad
mirers.--London Tablet.

The apparent tendency of the British Gov
ernment to maintain the Turk in Europe is
remarkable after all it has suffered from his
occupation of the territory seven hundred
miles wide and six hundred and fifty miles
long in perfectly useless manner. The Mo
hammedans number only about 5000, 900 out
of the l6 000 600 inhabitants of this territory,
and the socalled Ottoman power has been
really nothing but feeble garrison of aliens
on the frontier of European civilization. Lord
Derby himself has appreciated the anaohro-
nism Of Turkish occupation in Europe. and in
view of the present disposition of England to
perpetuate the monstrosity, his opinion ex-
pressed in q speech delivered in 1864 is of
peculiar interest. Said his lordship:
ST believe the question of the breaking up
of the Turkish empire to be only question
of time, and probably not o very long time.
The Turks have played their part in history |;
they have had their day, aud that day 10 over.
do not understand, except it be from the in
fluenoe of old diplomatic traditions, the deter
mination of our older ststeemen to stand by
the Turkish rule, whether right or wrong. I
think we are making of ourselves enemies of
races which will very soon become in Eastern
Europe dominant races and think We are
keeping back countries by whose improvement
we, as the great traders of the world, should
be the great gamers and that we are doing
this for no earthly advantage, either present or
prospective"

The Centennial commission adopted .
resolution the other day "to recognize the
claims Of colored men TO positions on the
police and guard on the grounds" A mo
ton to lay the resolution on the table was
lost by tie vote, and the yeas on that
motion indicate that the country has not
entirely lost its ancient tendency to make
distinctions in the matter of color aud race
"A circumstance which is mournfully com
mented upon by the journals who have
adopted the mere theories of Morton and
others. The States voting to lay the reso
luton on the table were Alabama, California,
Colorado, Kentucky, Louisiana, Georgia,
Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, New York,
Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas, Vermont, Washington Territory,
West Virginia and Observation-Disclosures in
all. The commissioner who voted for Louis
lana and voted to table the resolution was
John Lynch, a colored man. 1t will be OBJ
served that of the States and Territories
named, eleven belong TO the North, show
ing that the objection to the resolution was
not by any meaus confined to the South.
The circumstance is of no great siguifi
cance except that it shows Northern fee.-
ing on the subject of color, and tends to ex-
plain why Northern Radicals, with their
force advocacy of social equality for the
South, accord the negro 80 few positions,
political or otherwise. in their own States,
and in the South, where they have power,
make him q mere political machine-a
newer Of wood aud dra wer Of water, for the

One way of conducting a spelling bee
in England is to let one person begin with
a letter, the next one must add to it, bav-
ing complete word in his head, and 30
on, until some one finishes whatever word
may eventually be manufactured. Says a
writer in the Court Circular: " 1t is aston
ishiDg how unfamiliar certain combinations
of letters sound when said in this way.
Thus heard of a bee held in CONNER,
cial room in a large hotel. when the word
had got as far as lin. What on earth can
Yin be the beginning of 2 said the next m /;
and he was 30 convinced there could be
no word in the language beginning in that
way he made various bets against it,
and then challenged the last speaker-that
is asked him to complete the word. Zinc
was the answer, aud thereupon the puzz' ed
one jumped up with epaem Of agony
'By Jove,' he said, 'and trade in 1t my
self That was the fact. he represented q
hard ware firm, and sold zinc every day oi
his life"

Is ALCOHOL A NECESSARY OF L1FEf-T he
almost universal answer tn this important
question would be the affirmative; and
there are few persons, unacquainted with
ply siology. stirring about in this work q
day world, but arrive at such a conclusion.
Travel by railway, and you will see nnm-
bers of psssepgere swallowing bitter beer
or spirituous liquors at every station, as if
their very existence to the end of the jour
ney depended entirely upon the amount
imbibed. Visit for q short time any of the
large dram shops, which abound so plenti-
fully in the great metropolis and in other
large towns-notice the thousands Of all
classes who press up to the counter, and
with eager lips drink down the Intoxicating
draught-snd you will come to the con-
clusion that as almost every one drinks,
every one cannot be wrong, that alcohol is
q necessary of life. Visit, also, our crinni-
malls in jaile, our paupers in the workhouse,
our luDatics in the asylum, and ask them
the uestion if they believe that alcohol is
a necessary of life and the almost univer-
sal reply will be that " drink and bad COM
pany had lodged them there, blasted there
reputation, debased their minds, debilitated
their bodies, ruined their brightest hopes
of happiness in this world, and too often,
of that which is to come."-Dr. Munroe.

An illustration of the value of timber on
waste lands in the Highlands of Scotland u
afforded by q sale of wood which took place
shire the other day. In 1920 two hills on the
Cawdor property, of about 300 acres in extent
and of almost no agricultural value, were
planted with fir and other trees, and after sue,
cessive thinning5, the sale of which realized
large sums, the Remainder of the wood has Just
been sold off for the sum of G160O0. The
sums realized for the yood on this waste land
during the fifty years is stated to be equal pei

The Supreme Court of Maine has decided
that it is q violation of the Fourteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution of the United States
to send tramps and general vagrants to the
workhouse, as it deprives them of liberty with
out due process of law, and, says the court
eff white men and women may be thus sum-
msrly disposed of at the North, of course
black ones may be disposed of in the same
way at the South. Thus the very evil which
was particularly the object of the Fourteenth
Amendment to eradicate will still exist" It is
not surprising to learn from this judicial source
Amendment was to protect the negro vagrant
in the South, and make him subserve tn the Q
Judicial mind of Maine, however, perceives,
that the rule works both ways, and the tramp,
hummer and vagrant of the North, even though
he be white, has some " sacred rights" Hence
the ruling, which goes to show very decidedly
to what lengths the legislation of fanatical
humanitarianism can go when the tramp, o
useless and dangerous member of society, ls
protected in his vagranoy./ At the same time,
such q decision the above never wonld have
been rendered had not the negro come within
the operation of State laws relating to vG-
grancy.

No mere shall toll and anguish bis soul annoy
Him who now is in possession of everlasting joy.
He's gone to prepare US the way,
Which all must tread when comes the eternal day,
Wherein we too, will be summoned to receive the

That to him has just been meted true servant OF
The Lord.
Alas while solacing those bereaved,

Let listen the words which the Holy One saith,
And ever in minds them keepeth,

The Paris Moniteur has an article of singular
bitterness against a recent speech of Professor
Mommsen eiorifyiug German above French
science. 1t remird5 the speaker that German
savants paid twenty Thousand thslers at Jeru-
salem for pretended Moabite pottery, now con-
fessed to be of me dern manufacture, and AYERS
that honest Germans admit that their science
is in decadeuce, suffering from two grave mala-
dies, namely, superfciality and medtocrity.
