Four Thousand five hundred miles is rather
a long journey for child not FIVE years old to
undertake alone. Maggie Woods, aged four
and a half, has, however, says the LivsrpOal
Post accomplished this feat. Six months %
she was left an orphan at Chicago by the desc
of her father and mother. Her only Relation
in the world is an aunt living at Stockport, In
England. This lady communicated with the
United States Consul in Manchester, who
wrote to Chicago and had arrangements made
for sending the child to England. Maggie Wa
equipped for the journey, and travelled thou
sand miles to New York under the care of ..
railway conductor. At New York che YVES
received by strangers, who entertained her for
some days, and on the Sd inst placed her, sup
piled with toys and amusemeuts, on board the
City of Richmond, under the care of Captain
Leitch and the stewardess. She was landed
safely on the arrival of the steamer ct Liver
pool, and given over to her aunt.

The vieA taken by some of the leading Eng
lish papers on the Pop.'s Allocutiop, publisbe ed
in full elsewhere in these columns, is worthy
of noe. The London Saturday Reciesv says
" The language of the last Papal Allocu ton
bears favorable comparison with some of the
speeches recently delivered in the Italian Par
lament. Its author has really strong case
against the Italian Government which has
openly interfered with the ordinary working
of the Roman Catholic Church. The Clerical
Abuses bill is designed to make the ordinary
administration of Roman Catholic ecolesiasti-
cal discipline impossible, except in the con-
tlnued prospect of fines and imprisonments"
The London Spectator thinks that IF the
Clerical Abuses Bill is to pass in anything like
it's original form, it is quite clear that Cavour's
theory of a Free Church in Free State
would have to be completely abandoned in
Italy, and there would be the gravest Justice
in the Pope's complaint that the liberty of the
Church is fiction, and the usurpation of the
State fact" And again " If the Bill were
to become law there would be fair excuse for
any Catholic Government which proposed to
interfere in Italy for the purpose of redeeming
the Roman Church from its state of yassal-
age"

plumbers beyond their adversaries, were
ignominiously repulsed and sometimes an :
INFLATED. A campaign laughingIy under
taken as a six weeks spree heightened into
very bloody war of four years. The
sequel is known. Exhaustion accomplish
ed what military prowess had been I'M
equal to and the South ceased to fight.
The magnanimity of our Northern breth-
rem in triumph was not more distinguished
than their prowess had been in war, and
the indifferent soldier lapsed naturally
enough into the successful bully.
Yet all that can be forgotten by people
who know that their owA record is good,
and who are, to q certain extent, actnated
by the leading principles of the Christian
philosophy. Union certainly gives national
force and weight and is, therefore, a desi-
rable thing provided it is not permitted to
Interfere with local affairs and interests. 1t
has not, indeed, been worked on that prin-
ciple since the war, but that is the original
principle of our national experiment and is
the only one permanently practicable. The
violation of that pri nciple by Federal usur-
patton, as to day exemplified in Louisiana,
will rever be long submitted to by Ameri-
cans.
There are certain good reasons for gen.
eral Union of North American States, but
there is no good reason whatever why that
Union should control or interfere with To-
cal interests. The people of each State
have, on the contrary, very good reasons
to suppose that their local affairs will be
more sagaciously administered by them
selves and under their own control than by
their neighbors or under the dictation of
people thousand or SO miles away. The
of Union are undeniable, but
they are not necessarily to be enjoy ed at the
sacrifice of local self government. There
Is no Inconsistency whatever betw cen ab-
solutely Independent self government in
each State aud strong, vital national
Union acting within it's legitimate limits
and for it's legitimate objects only.
But our Northern friends, at present
visiting us on behalf Of Mr.. Hayes, do not
seem to be deeply impressed with the
importance of this distinction. 1t may be
that they are in dignifed, leisurely sort
OF way taking their time to end the misery
of an expectant people, but it would ap-
pear to an ardent lover of his country that
this is one Of those occasions where q |
patriot would like to get things safely |
settled as soon as possible. The national |
instinct of popular government is deeply |
wounded in the Presidency of citizen
who is believed not to have been elected,
and the equally strong national instinct
OF local seif-governmenti is as deeply wound
ed by the Federal usurpation in Louisiana.
The former ofthese sources of uneasiness
g now past correction. The latter, how
sver, can be settled from moment to mo-
nent, aud to daily with it seems like play
Dg with fire.

Of Foreign Affairs, Marquis de Berne-
Vile Minister of INTERIOR de Welcho
Minister of Justice, Lepelletier; Minister
Of Finance, Du Tilleul Minister Of Com

is not yet nominated. Du Tilleul was
Deputy for Complegne, but was defeated
In the election of October IA. He sal
with the constitutional group. He has
been connected with the Ministry oi
France TOR many years.
The Moniteur says that the Ministry
will avoid all political discussions, and
devote itself solely to public business. II
will ask the Senate and Chamber Of Dep
uties to adopt similar course, thus es'
tablishing truce from the dissensions
which are disturbing trade. 1t will ex'
plain to the Deputies the imperative ne
cessity of Immediately considering the

Mcmahon is not acceptable to the Repub'

much to the newss Cabinet, as such, bu

suffrage shall be respected. The Cham
ber Of Deputies, by vote of 323 to 2OS
refused to enter into cordial relations
with the new Ministry.
The view taken of Osman Pasha's po

have caused the meandered lakes
I'm all the township plats to be counted,
and there are in the actually survey
ed portions Of the State just 1900
meandered lakes. Calling them
6, 900 in number, and from reliable
data in this Office we find that these
lakes average 800 acres each, that gives
us an equivalent of !, 500, 900 acres of
water in the surveyed portions Of the
State. Now, computing the lakes in
the unsurveyed portions of the State
from reliable data In possession of the
Office, we find that there are 1900
more lakes, which makes 1000 In all.
The number of lakes to q town Is much
greater in the unsurveyed portions of
the State than in that already survey
ed. They are found also to average
greater acres. We find we are COM
PEELED to estimate the 1900 lakes in
the unsurveyed portion at 600 acres
each, which gives US an additional
water area of l, zoe, 900 acres, making
total of water area of 2. zoe, 600 acres of
water within the limits of the State.
This does not embrace the vast water
areas included within the projected
boundary lines of the State In Lake
Superior and Lake of the Woods and
along the great water stretches Of the

he wished to call on her, but she told
him she had an engagement with

the dose was not sufficient to kill.
Then he shot himself, but the bullet
missed his heart, making q wound
from which he will recover. He is
now being nursed by the girl, and she
may learn to love him, after the story

THE LATEST FASHIONS.

A very pretty walking costume is one
made of a heavy, dark, chocolate-colored
cloth. The skirt is trimmed all the way
around the bottom by a narrow side plating
about two inches and half wide. Above
this, in front, are three pieces of cloth cut
TO fit the skirt, and falling one above the
other like three plain founces or small
skirts, up to the waist. The back Is trimmed
with two very deep, loosely-plaited founces
made with sort of box-plait in the middle
and the smaller plaitings running in differ
ent directions from each other. These two
Hounces complete the trimming up to the top
of the skirt. The waist is a tight-ftting
basque. In front there is q vest Of very
light pearl-gray cloth: A broad band OF
the brown cloth, about two iuches wide,
button across from side to side at the chest,
and is fastened by perfectly round gilt but
tons, which are also placed down both sides
of the waist from the neck to the end of the
the basque, Just upon the edge of the brown
cloth. AT the waist in the back these is a
belt of plated brown satin ending at the
left side with large bow Of the same ma
teral. The sleeves are close, with revers OF
the gray cloth at the wrist, finished with
two gilt buttons. A light gray felt
hat trimmed with brown feathers
and brown satin strings, Is very
suitable to wear with this costume. Either
light gray or dark brown undressed kid
gloves should also be worn with this dress.
A dress of this description made of black vel
vet and pesrl.gray satin would be very ele.
giant for visiting costume. Dark green
Scotch plaids made with a plain kilt, plated
skirt pnd tight-ftting riding-habit waist are
very pretty dresses for very young girls
Capes of every description seem very much
worn. One Of black velvet, trimmed with
either lace or jet reaching to the waist in the
back and tying in a loose bow in front, with
long ends, is pretty wrap for the house.
Hoop earrings are very fashionable. A
novelty of this sort is rapidly
coming into fashion. The ear
rings are large hoops, with small
diamonds, like dew-drops hanging from
them in every direction. An arrow, open
ing in the middle, with diamond in the
front part next the ear, closes the hoop, 30
that the effect IL that of an arrow passing
directly through the arch with large ring
of diamond.hung gold attached to it.
Silver bangles, 80 long worn, have entirely
gone out Of fashion. In Paris they were
cast aside some eighteen months ago.

that out of the council Sitting Bull
was very eompanionable gentleman,
and several very interesting interviews
were held with him, In which he gave
an account of his part In the Custer

the generally accepted reports.

several speeches were made on the
