Notwithstanding recent persistent re-
ports of the impending dissolution of the
Holy Father, reports which began finally
to influence the most hopeful of his devo-
ted children, it seems that there is no i'm

There is the came element of exaggeration
latterly as formerly in the news of his
health.
Millions of Catholics have prayed, and
many have expected, that our venerable
Pontif would survive to see the final over
throw of the conspiracy against his tempo
raj independence. Events are hurrying on.
Germany and Sardinia are the robbers
that despoiled him of his temporali,ies,
with England As an abestor, and now Eog
land and Germany are not on good terEs.

and honest men may get their rights As

NEAR FUTURE,
New Orleans before the beginning of the late
civil war, wAs q wonder CT commercial life, for
her growth in the forty years precedin g had been
one of marvellous rapidity. In the year 1885
the writer frst set foot upon her levee. Then
the city of New Orleans was empbaticaIly
below Canal street. The spirit of improve
nent had, however, begun to show itself above
that avenue q year or two before, owing to the
influx of Americans from the North, East and
West, and many euterprising men from the
"Old Country" across the water. In 1886 the
city WAs divided into three MunieiPAlitiss, the
First below Canal to EsplAnade, the Third all
below that line, and the Second all above Canal
street. Each with separate Councils bat all
under one Mayor. From this time began the
rapid growth AID extension of the city up

South, and every thing was done on q grand
scale. Our thorOughfares above Canal street
began TO be paved with "Eound stones " (the
meanest pavement for our alluviAl soil in the

Forward to Mexico.

1t is the theory of certain No-thern pa
pers that President Hayes has an eye on
Mexico. II is sapposed that Messrs. Conk-
ling, Bisine s. Co. are making things too
lively for him in Washington and that
him 1t least. Inter arna ceddHt togo; the
thunders of war will silence the clamors of
ambitious politicians and the! oratorical
fres of gabblers will pale before the lurid
glare of artillery. A. any rate, theory or
no theory, troops are hurryiug into Texas
and experienced officers are ordered to
report there for important service.
There are some strong influences at work
in favor of q collision. Spectators and
contractors are extremely hungry, ardent
young men are spelling fs5 military op-
portnnities, cooler and older neg of Cnsuc-
cessful experience in ordioery kinds Of
business would like to settle permanently
in some newly acquired territory where
inherent ability would pass az q substitute
for business habits, and, more than all,
there is q general feeling that almost any
kind of sudden and foreible impetus would
set the ball of business in motion onee
more.
On the o,beF siaS Of :.aae Rio Graude the
elements are fully as combustible, if not
mole SO. A singular fatality seems TO urge
TIE people on in the conviction that their
country is full match for the United
States in military proves and reeources.
Their newspapers fan the flame of iodgna
tion ct assumed American outrages, and
every faction of the political host is busy
panderiug to the popular folly. The Gov
ernment is afraid to encounter even aus
picion of lukewarmness in the patriotic
cause and moves its forces towards the Rio
Grsn6e with menacing promptness.
| We believe that Mr.. Hayes could easily
allay all this excitement and abate the crisis,
but we zee no evidence of any such incli-
nation on his part. He SCENE to be quite
impaTtially letting things take their course.
Bat that course is evidently towards col
lision and war, and the continued inaction
of our President will be virtually q wal
policy.

gency as war, if it comes, will not be at
tributable to any fault Of our government
or people. II lS easy 10 make war ono

CHEERFUL WIFE. What blessing tosa
household is a merry, cheerful woman--one
whose spirits are not affected by wet days OF
little experimentation whose milk of
human kindness does not sour in the sunshine
of prosperity. Such woman, Ia the darkest
hours, brightens tho house like piece Of
sunshiny weather. the magnetism Of her
smiles, and the electrical brightness of her
looks and movements, infect every one. The
children go to school with the sense of some
thing great to be achieved the husband goes
into the world in a conqueror's spirit. No
matter how people annoy and worry him
through the day, far off her presence shines,
and he whispers to himself, Z" At home shall
find rest So day by day she literally rc-
news his strcngthand energy.

we never have a case of cold or injury to the
men in any way Kettle of coffee, made with
half sweet milk, half water three or four
eggs whipped poured into it when on the boil;
hot toasted bread with plenty of butter of the
finest quality. Serve up this every two and a

the usual allowance of whiskey, and the men
work far better, and If care is taken to have
the coffee, milk (eream is still better), broad,

quality, the men are delighted with it. ! am
persuaded 1t would be worth while to try this
allowance instead of grog. Giving extra grog
gives the men a notion that 1t Is good for

MISCELLANY.


FAMILIAR ScIENcE.-Why does hot metal
feel more intensely warm than hot wool?
Because metal gives out q much greater
quantity of heat in the same space Of time
and the influx of heat is consequently more
perceptible.
Why does money in your pocket feel very
hot when we stand before a fire?
Because metal is an excellent conductor,
and becomes rapidly heated. For the same
reason, it becomes rapidly cold whenever it
comes in contact with a body colder than it.
self.
Why does an iron pump-handle feel inten-
sely cold in winter?
Because it is an excellent conductor, and
draws off the heat of our hand SO rapidly,
that the sudden loss produces a sensation Of
intense GOODNESS.
Is the iron handle Of the pump really colder
than the wooden pump itself?
No; every inanimate substance Exposed
to the same temperature possesses in reality
the same degree Of heat.
Why does an iron handle seem SO much
colder than the wooden pump?
Merely because the iron is a better conduc-
tor, and therefore, draws off the heat from
our hand more rapidly than wood does.
