The POue,s Health.

The fact reported in our special de-
spatch from Rome, that the Pope yester-
day gave public audience and received
twenty-tw persons, is sufficient evil
dence that if the news Of his almost
hopeless condition was true when sent his
wonderful vitality has on this occasion as
serted itself as much in the rapidity of his
recovery as in the fact of the remarkable
change in his condition. So far as appears
in the report ofwhat was observed ut this au-
dience the paralysis is confined to the lower
extremities Such limitation of disorder is
not uncommon, and is not inconsistent with
a sufficiently vigorous performance Of bodily
functions to sustain life for years. Mr..
Morton's case was an instance, though not
on extreme one, of this fact; not extreme
because the paralysis was not absolute in
the region invaded till near the end.
Longevity is family attribute with the
Ferreti-the Popes brothers having reached
tho ages of ninety-five and ninety-six. 1t
is even recorded that they were as fre-
quently reported at the point of death for
the last ten years Of their lives respectively
ms even the Pope himself has been, SO that
it may be said that not only is longevity a
family attribute, buealso that tenacious
vitality is associated with the frequent re-
currence of symptoms which, while very
alarming, are always remodiable.

The Cuban Insurgents.

General Campos, whose courage, ability
and energy as soldier will, it is confidently
believed at Madrid, be the means of bring
ing the long struggle in Cuba to an end, Is not
meeting with unchecked success in his CAM
paign against the patriots During the past
two months he has succeeded in gaining sew
eral important advantages which must have
disheartened the revolutionary leaders, but
now we have tho news of slight victory
which will 60 far to comfort them under
their recent reverses and destroy the
idea of the invincibility Of the Spanish
commander Last month the patriots
surprised party Of Spaniards in the East
ern Department, when several Of the enemy
were killed and wounded. The.news comes
entirely through Spanish sources, and it is,
of course, impossible to get at the real facts
or to ascertain the magnitude of the Spanish
loss. That it was far more serious than the
Havana authorities report is absolutely
certain. But the news is significant in
another respect. 1t shows that the Spanish
declarations SO freely made recently that
there is no armed force anywhere on
the island are all nonsense, and that the
patriots are still strong enough to contest
the advance of tho Spanish troops. Gen.
eral Campos will find it more difficult than
he suspects to reduce the island to subjec-

A Singular Wedding.

A singular scene was enacted in the
Supreme Court, Chambers, on Monday. A
young man, twenty-one years Of age, was
taken from Ludlow Street Jail before Judge
Lawrence and married to q young girl OF
eighteen, at whose suit, by her guardian,
for breach of promise and seduction, he had
been imprisoned. TO escape from jail he
had consented to marry the girl, and after
two or three questions from the Judge and
answers from the young couple, "You are
man and wife," said Judge Lawrence "the
prisoner is discharged" The hastily made
bridegroom had stated that he married for
his liberty and that he was unable to sup
port wife. In the papers which announce
these proceedings appear the stories OF two
terrible tragedies enacted in this city, the
result OF rash and unhappy marriages. In
one, a young, refined and educated lady
took her own life to escape from nm unfor-
tunate husband, from whom, in six short
months, she had learned to turn in terror
and disgust. In the other, man, mad
dened by the curse of nm intemperate wife.
murdered his children and killed himself.
Is such marriage as that in the Supreme
Court. Chambers, likely to have happy
ending? Is there not timely voice Of
warning in the pastoral letter OF the Epis
copal bishops, depicting the evils which re.
suit from ill assorted and inconsiderate mar.

How Temperance May no Promoted.

The temperance people seem resolved to
keep up the agitation of the license ques-
tion, although it is doubtful whether their
efforts, however we'll intentioncd, will result
in any substantial gain to the Gauss in which
they labor. It is stated that the proprietors
Of some Of the Leading hotels IN this city,
including the Astor, Fifth Avenue, st.
Nicholas, Metropolitan, Brunswick, Win
chester. Grand Central, Gilsey and Grand,
are to be brought into the police courts to
answer for alleged violations OF the law,
including tho sale Of liquor on Sundays and
election day. There is also to be q revival
in the arrests Of saloon keepers, both on
the charge of not being hotels or inns
within the meaning of the Excise law now
supposed to be in operation, and for other
alleged infringements of the law. We have
no doubt that these prosecutions are all
made in good faith and with laudable inten-
tions; nevertheless, their expediency is
ut least questionable. Tho action Of the
Excise Board and Police Department
since the decision Of the Court of APP
peals which left us without any license
law fitted to tho necessities OF a
largo city must be accepted as evidence
that it is impossible to enforce prohibition
in New York or to carry out strictly the
provisions Of such law as that OF 1857.
The practical question, therefore, seems to
be whether we are to live under statute
which cannot be enforced and Is only pro-
ductivo of litigation, of arrests that seem to
do no good and Of ovasions calculated to
f! bring all laws into contempt or are to have.

The French CrfRla.

Perhaps tho clearest indication of what is
really on foot in France is to be inferred
from the article of the Republique Francaise,
for it is the vital issue OF the hour TINT las
led up to that article; while in the reports
Of what is said by ono party and thought by
another and intended by third there is
only confusion that it is impossible to
disentnngle
Judging by the article to which we refer
tho government seriously contemplatcs n
second dissolution Of the Chamber, and is
not so hopeless as has been thought of
the necessary assent of the Senate. Repub-
licans must indeed regard not only the
proposition for dissolution, but its success,
also, as imminent when they push their
arguments against such Il measure to the
point of urging that the Chamber of Depu-
ties would be bound to resist it. 1t is to be
hoped that their resources arc not already
reduced to that degree, for point OF physi-
cal resistance, no matter where, is precisely
what the Ministry has sought in vain. and
once found would relieve it from its des-
perate straits. Any fact by which it could
overcome resistance with military force and
appear to be plainly within it's right under
the law, or not so fagrantly outside Of its
right but it might be reasonably defended
by impartial persons, would be boon with
which tho republicans should not favor it
just now.
No doubt the argument of the limitation
Of the right Of dissolution derived from the
constitutional reason for the existence OF
that right is good one, SO far as it goes;
but it does not invalidate the right Of the
President to dissolve, if he can get the nee
cssary support, any Chamber that the peo-
pie may send up No theoretical attenua-
tion of this right can displace it from the
constitution, where it presents plain way
for the Executive and the Senate to put q
troublesome Chamber out of their path.
They may make an outrageous use of their
power, but, under the constitution, they
are the only judges of the. expediency Of
dissolution. This may be feeble point in
the constitution, but it would not mend
matters to meet it with resistance that
would be hopeless, even if not illegal.

with the assent Of reasonable temperance
people, stringent license law which can be
enforced and which can be so framed rs to
place desirable restraint on the liquor
business and materially decrease intemper-
aEce
Massachusetts is State in which. If any
where, it ought to be possible to enforce
prohibition. Governor Rice, who has just
been reelected in that State by handsome
majority, himself temperance man,
vetoed prohibitory law passed at
the last session of the Legislature,
on the ground TINT prohibition had always
been imperative in Massachusetts,, while the
existing license law is strictly enforced and
has, as the statistics show, greatly decreased
intemperance. This might we'll be accepted
by the temperance people in New York as
an indication of the policy that ought to
control their action in this State. If they
will devote their time from now until the
Legislature meets in framing n stringent,
well-considered license law for New York
they will do more real good for the temper
ance cause than by making thousand USE
less arrests for violations of law that is
practically ignored by tho authorities as
well as by the people.

Shall Justice Miscarrys

The evidence in the prosecution of Robert
L. Case, late president of the Security Life
and Annuity Insurance Company, for por-
jury in having sworn to false statements of
the company's condition. was brought to
close yesterday The defence is purely
technical. The law makes it the duty of
the officers of such companies to make IN
annual report, under oath, and provides
that wilfully false statements therein shall
be perjury and punished as such. The ev-
idence shows that this report was made,
signed and certified as having been sworn
to by Mr.. Case and other officers of the CON-
pany, and that its cash and real estate assets
were grossly and wilfully misrepresented
so as to make the company appear solvent
when it was hopelessly bankrupt. The de-
fence so far as Mr.. Case is concerned, is
that he signed the report without knowing
the truth of its details, and that he never
swore to it. A colored messenger employed
in the Security Office testified that he had
carried the report, after it had been signed
Office, who had certified it as having been
sworn to. This, he said, had been the
practice with oil reports. =
It is barely possible that the accused may
escape under this technicality. But if SO,
while it will be deplorable failure of
Justice, the evidence ndduced makes the
indictment and conviction of the accused
for the lesser offence of misdemeanor cer-
tainty and duty. If public officer may
evade punishment by the trick Of pretend
ing to swear to an official report and not
actually taking the required oath, then the
laws are a mockery and delusion. There
is another point in this evidence that de-
mands the attention Of the District Attor-
ney. It is clearly misconduct on the part
of a notary to falsely certify paper as hav-
ing been sworn to when no affidavit has
been made. On page 446 of volume 3 of
. the Revised Statutes Of New York will be
found section (38) which provides for the
'criminal prosecution and punishment" OF
m offending notary. 1t is about time that
snch dangerous offences as are developed
in this trial should be put o stop to.

the Lualaba, tinting the main stream with
their brown waters. Further below begins
the series of sixty-two falls and cataracts
which extends for one hundred and eighty
| miles between the Ntamo and Yellala
falls, and where the river has again mar
rowed to its ordinary width. Along the
river banks the character Of the country and
its population changes rapidly. From the
Arab settlements at Nyangwe the explorer
entered region inhabited by savage
cannibal tribes, who proved cow
ardly or warlike according to their
strength in numbers, but were uniformly
treacherous and bloodthirsty. In other
regions Stanley describes the people as
dwelling in state of comparative civiliza-
ton and being friendly TO strangers But
although the journey was not always i'm
peded by the attacks of the natives the
dangers that arose. from hunger and the
fearful cataracts on the river were constant
sources of alarm and frequently proved as
deadly as the hostility of the cannibal tribes.
This brings US to sad contemplation Of
the fate of poor Pocock, Stanley's last white
companion. 1t cannot be necessary to add
one word to tho culogies Of Pocock con-
tanned in Stanleys letters. He was brave
and faithful friend, whose sad fate casts
gloom over the achievements Of his
more fortunate leader. BY the constant
exhibition Of courage, prudence and I'M
stinted generosity Pocock endeared him
self to even the suspicious natives with
whom ne was brought in contact. The man.
ner OF his death proved his devotion
to Stanley and showed that, although
he was bowed down by fatigue and sick
ness the spirit that carried him from
Zanzibar to the fatal cataract was
unbroken to the last The map accom-
panying Stanlcy's letters is intended to
give only general, but yet accurate idea Of
the course of the Lualaba. 1t corresponds
with Stanley's own map in all essential
features and will prepare the reader for the
study of that interesting production when
it is published.
