The Pope takes small quantity Of wine, and
prefers Bordeaux. He lost the other day his
constant companion at dinner for years, his
aged cat, who sat in chair opposite the Pop-
tiff, and took its portion from his hand when
he had finished. Fear was felt that he would
be affected by the loss of the cat, but he did not
seem to mind it any more than the death of
Cardinal Antonelli.
While Charles Kingsley was in Boston, few
years ago, and the guest of james I. Fields,
the brilliant Oliver Wendell Holmes paid him
brief visit, and did all the talking. No soon
er would Kingsley begin to stammer out some
thing than the irrepressible Holmes would
break in with a flow of wit. This sort of thing
was continued until the Doctor bowed himself

The Rebellion Archives.

At the close of the war of the Rebellion the
War Department, impressed with the impor-
tance of preserving the official records of
military operations, sconceived the happy
idea of publishing record history of the
doings in the field. from 1861 to 1866.
The capture OF the archives of the
Confederate government added greatly
to the facilities for the preparation of
such history. Congress was induced to
make the appropriation necessary to carry
out the undertaking. and work was at once
begun. The appropriation was soon ex-
hausted, and another was not made until
1875. Since that date the task has been
steadily prosecuted and it is now quite half
completed.
The work is the most extensive of the kind
that has ever been undertaken by any nation,
for the Government gives not only full his
tory of its own operations in the field during
the four years of great war, but those
of the enemy as well. Only the
most important of the records. Or
ders, dispatches and corr espondence
are to be published, but these will
make hundred volumes, averaging five hum
dred pages each. From report of the Sec
retary of War the following account of the
manner in which these records are being pre-.
pared is extracted: "From the immense
mass of papers on hand, the required docu-
ments are selected and put to press at the
Department; the proof being carefully read
and compared with the original papers, and
each document, letter, report, telegram and
paper is being printed separately. Accuracy
is absolutely required before these printed
copies are placed in the hands of the compil-
er, whose duty it then is to collect and group
the various subjects in order of date, and in
accordance with their relation to each other,
A large mass of material has been collected,
copied, and great portion of it printed, and,
as far as practicable, the printing has been
done from original documents, when the ma
ture Of tbs records admitted, without re-
course to copying by hand. This matter has
not yet received its final arrangement and
classification, owing to the difficulty of select
ing at the same time, papers relating to con-
temporary subjects.
No distinction is made between the treat
Inent Of the Federal and Confederate records,
and the stories Of every campaign and battle
are tod by both the contestants. The Con-
federate presentation of the case is less COM
plete for the reason that the Government did
not secure all the Rebel archives and has
found it impossible in some cases to supply
the information contained in the missing
papers. The importance and historical value
of these records of our civil conflict cannot
be too highly estimated, and the plan of their
publication is wise and liberal, for in their
present condition they are liable at any mo-
ment to be swept out of existence by fire
and other accident.

THE Nashville american, a journal
welding large influence in Central Tennes-
see, refuses TO go into mourning over the de-
feat of Tilden, and it refuses.to denounce
Hayes, but is disposed to accept the situation
cheerfully, and hopes for good things under
the promised policy of conciliation and good
will. The american addresses that class of
implacable Southern papers who take coun-
sci of their passions, suspicious and hates,
and who "would allow the interests of the
country to go at loose ends for four years
just to fill the ear of Heaven with roaring,
and clamor, and unavailing and protest di-
rected at the past and not the FUTURE" and
rebukes them in the following language
"Because.Mr. Tilden, the truly annointed is
not on hand in proper place, they would have
the burning South, already half blasted, done
brown before she would receive assistance
from any other. These writer's on politics
mistake the duty of the citizen to the de
facto Government. They should pray con-
tinually for an Increase of faith, whichsh little
calmer consideration Of the entire subject
will give if that be possible"

COTTON manufacture has already been so
successfully attempted in Georgia and other
parts OF the South that it promises to become
an important branch of industry. By work.
ing the raw material into cloth at home trans
portation is saved, employment furnished to
willing hands, and an impetus given to every
interest in the community. St. Louis is look
ing at the subject in this light, and is now
agitating the erection of cotton-mills. From
Arkansas and Texas alone that city receives
every year 100000 bales, much of which
could, of course, be converted into valuable
products by the labor of her own population.
Fuel. ground, labor and building materials
are cheap, and thousands of men and women
would be thankful for steady and profitable
occupation. The Globe Democrat appeals to
the merchants and moneyed men to lend
their earnest support to the enterprise, assur-
ing them that much money will not be re-
quired, as millions of Eastern capital, now
idle, will lay the foundations, erect the SUPER
structures, fill the buildings with machinery,
and crowd the city with busy operatives, if
only the proper means are taken to demon
strate that such an enterprise would be sue
cessful.
