water-coler cartoon, representing

An English Protestant lady was
lately among the people received by
the pope. She had frequently be-
fore waited on the holy father, and
was on terms of pleasant acquaint-
anceship with sundry of the pre-
lates about him. Possibly this cir
cumstance may have given rise to
certain quite baseless) hopes that
the lady in question might be made
u convert Of. At all events the
pope had on one or two occasions
playfully told her that he knew her
and that she was as hard as granite.
On the occasion in question her
Monsignore friends had placed her
close to the spot by which the pope
must pass in quitting the audience
gallery, and as he did so he stopped
his chair-bearers and gave her his
hand to kiss. "Ah," cried he,
when she had done, "Aard as a bell,
hard as a bell," giving her a smart
tap with the tops of his fingers on
the forehead as he spoke. And
then he gave her his hand to kiss a
second time.

"The Conflict of Ages

Men differ on nearly every issue. There
have always been opposite parties in politics
and religion, though the measures fought
over one day may be universally adopted at
another. and those sacrificed regarded as
heroes and martyrs. Medicine has also been
su ject to revolutionary disturbances. When
Drs. Harvey and Jenner announced their
discoveries, they were held in contempt and
ridicule by an incredulous and ignorant pub
lie, yet to. day they are received and honored
by all as benefsctors. When DIR. Pierce an.
nounced his Discovery, many seemed to
doubt, and were skepticsl concerning all
medicines and doctors but proof of merit
has dispelled all doubt, and to day the
Golden Medical Discovery is the standard
remedy in curing the most obstin7te diseases
of the liver and blood, having almost en-
tirely superseded the old.time sarsaparitlas
by reason OF its superior merits. .

search for material for their pens and

besides monotonous sketching and note.
taking. 1t will be remembered that the
veteran journalist and his party left this
city about two weeks ago to journey to
the Yosemite valley. Information came
to this city that when the party arrived
at Big Tree Station on Sunday two of
Mr.. Leslie's young men became involved
in quarrel over the smiles of lady who
accompanied the party, and finally ended
the argument by one shifting the others
cheek. The same afternoon challenge
was sent by the insulted to his assailant,
which was promptly accepted, the weap-
ons chosen being pistols. The two young
men,then adjourned to convenient grove
and whiled away an hour or so by firing
at each other. to the great CONSERVATION
and danger Of the crowd of spectators.
A stray shot finally struck one of the
ducists in the arm, when it was an.
nounced that he had ample satisfaction,
and the reckless bombardment was dis
continued. What disposition was made
OF the wounded man has not transpired,
and none of the party have as yet been
arrested.-i&n Francisco Chronicle.

An Interesting Relic.

There will shortly be offered for sale
at Lancaster, England, an article of great
interest to the American nation. Mr..
Joseph Sly, of the Kings Arms and
royal hotel, Lancaster, has for many
years devoted himself TO the collection
of rare and valuable pieces of furniture
and antiquities of various kinds; and
among his collections, which he will
offer for sale in May next, is one of the
three clocks invented by DIR. BENJAMIN
Franklin, of Philadelphia. This clock
strikes the hour, and has only three
wheels; and on many occasions Mr.. Sly
received tempting offers to part with it.
The dial is arranged to mark the time on
the system of the land watches in years
gone by. On the face is the inscription: :
" DIR. Benjamin Franklin, Philadelphia,
inventor. 1t is one of the three clocks
invented by DIR. Franklin; the others
are in the possession of the relatives of
the late Rev. George Whitfield, who,
along with DR.. Franklin conceived the
idea of making clock, for which pur-
pose the former found the money for
carrying out the invention.-Jeweler and
