Presents for the Pope.

Among the gifts to be sent to the
Pope on his Episcopal Jubilee will be
some rare black elk skins and q mis-
sionary's sled and outfit from the
Catholics CT Manitoba "The sled
rests upon the ground of white cotton
and is drawn by three dogs whose
harness is a miracle OF patience, for
nothing is wanting. On the sled are
cooking utensils, an axe, and some
kettles on the sides rise, over q
closed network Of little bags or pOck-
cts, the raw hides used to cover the
load, which consists Of the mission
ary's bedding, the linens, etc, for the
altar, and the food for the missionary
and his dogs. These little bags or
pockets will be filled with gold pieces,
the fruit of the Easter collection Ia
ken up in all the churches OF the
diocese OF st. Bonifaee. Behind the
sled and holding the guide rope,
comes the missionary with his snow
shoes, his long whip in his hand, bis
Ioins girt with belt Of arrows, the
BldsEinom stuck in his girdle, and
bis cowI drawn over his eyes All
this equipage is contained within 8
space nearly three feet long and six
inches wide. The furs, the harness
Of the dogs, and the gloves and the
shoes are all yellow aud white, the
POpe's cOlOrs."

an undOubted fact that every Ohio

TIE SEEsBOTs' RECEPTION.

Col. r NJ. Moore, the newly elected
Republican Mayor Of Cincinnati, made
the following little speech to his
friends who called to congratulate
him upon his election last week:
''FELLOw-CITIZENs I thank you
for this unexpected and fattering
visit. Yesterday was the candidate
Of my party to-day I am Mayor
elect of the city Of Cincinnati. Ifmy
life is spared hope to so administer
the sffalrs of the city as to bring bene-
mt to all citizens alike. II IL shall
happen that my acts at any time are
not what they should be, I believe
that ! can say in advance it will be
an error OF judgment only, for /, like
yourselves, have no interest as Mayor
apart from the welfare OF Cincinnati.
Thanking you again for this kindly
call. l bid you good evening"
The hosDitable Colonel supplements
ed his little speech with 8 eOnverss-
tiOnal remark about the long distance
his friends had come, and invited all
TO pass around to the other side Of the
house and partake Of some refresh
ments.
Scarcely had the ground been
cleared, until the neWsbOysi process
sion advanced. They halted in front
OF the door, and several OF them ran
up to the Colonel to shake hands with
him. There was an awkward pause
just then The newsbOys had no set
speakers, and they did not understand
how to call for a speech from the Colo
mel. One little fellow broke the silence
with 1--WE want TO eat, !" and after the
laugh which this truthful, II not
polite, suggestion produced had sub
sided, Col. Moore made 8 brief ad-
dress to the boys, thanking them for
the honor OF this visit, and assuring
them that, although he was now
elected Mayor Of the city, be would
still continue to attend their meet
ings as usual, and he wanted them to
try to do even better in the future
than they had done in the past, for
his credit, as well az for their own.
He proceeded TO give them some good
advice, but soon recurred to the sub
ject broadly hinted at by the hungry
boy, and told them that he had some
thing ready for them to eat and
/ drinks Ihis announcement was re-
eeived with cheers. They formed in
line aud marched to the west end Ol
the house, where they were admitted,
six at time, to large table, where
the Colonel, with the assistance oil
two or three gentlemen, first gave tC
each boy glass Of that pure cider fol
which his orchards are celebrated
Then each boys hands we're filled
with generous sandwich, and they
were turned out into the yard uudel
the apple trees TO eat. The boys pre-
served excellent order. hut it was OBJ
served that some of the shrewdel
ones slipped back into the procession
and tasted the cider, and took sand
witches more than once. It was aftel
IL O'Clock when the boys started bael
to the city.

The submission to such coercion
marks the degenersey OF the political
party or people which endures II. A
government worthy Of q name, a pO-
litieal party fit to WELD power, never
before blanched at such threat.
"But the edIet has gone forth. No
argument or consideration which
your friends could present has sufficed
to avert the disaster. No effective
mesns Of resistance to the consum-
nation OF the wrong are left. The
struggle can not be prolonged
"My strict legal rights are, OF
course, wholly unaffected by the ac-
ton Of the President. No court of

feet Of my action upon those whose
representatives am. L had hitherto
been willing tn ask you, Republicans
of South CarOlinA, to risk all dangers
and endure all hardships until relief
should come from the Government of
the United States. That relief will
never come. can not ask you to fol-
low me further. In my judgment l
can no longer serve you by further
resistance to impending calamity
With gratitude to God for the meas
ure of endurance with which he had
hitherto inspired me, with gratitude
to you for your bOundless confidence
in me, with profound admiration for
your matehless fidelity to the cause
in which we have struggled, / now
announce to you and to the people Of
the State, that 1 shall no longer ae-
lively assert my right to the office Of
Governor OF South Carolina.
"Fhe motives and purposes Of the
/ President of the United States in the
policy which cOmpels me to pursue
my present course are uhquestiOnably
honorable and patriotic. / devOutly
pray that events may vindicate the
wisdom of his action, and that peace,

hereafter be the portion Of every citi-
zen OF South Carolina.

The "eel-sBin" dress is now the great
rage both in London and Paris. In
the widest days Of the tie back or
pin-bGek mania, there never was seen
such tigbtDess in the matter OF skirt
as now prevails. Whatever the
palcity of folds in the pin-baek In its
frontier part, Ia the enormous exub-
erance Of the pannIer or bustle the
balance was struck. But now, not
only is the hustle a thing OF honor,
but even the necessary under-clotbing
is considered de trOp. TO lengthen
the waist far beyond its natural pro-
portions, stiff webbing Of elastic IL
fastened to the stays to the depth OF
half foot and TO this, at first, mar
row skirts were buttOned. But even
this is now abandoned for another
scheme to acquire slenderness. Mrs.
SWisshelm's mueh-ridiculed chemi-
loon il IN demand, and garments
made in this way are sold st the fur
nishing shops, and patterns Of It pass
eagerly from hand 70 hand among la
dy friends. Some ladies have had
regular stage tights made 10 thick
webbing and over these they wear
nothing but the outer dress, under
skirts being simulated by pleated
rufIlss OF white muslin, sewn TO the
edge of the dress, which Is then tied
back till the woman within is shack
| led almost like q convict in q chain
gang. No more uncomfortable fash
ion ever was devised for not only
are the limbs confined by the binding
dress, but the wearer must constantly
concern herself about the condition OF
bodice, that portion being in ineesssnt
danger Of turning itself up behind
wrong side out, like an umbrella In 8
Windstorm. The desired effect oI
youthful slendeTness is generally OBJ
tanned by the "eel-skin," but 1T 8
good deal Of sacrifice Of personal ease.

There IS little grave;

Myrtles and roses wave.
Only little fiowery heap,
Ger which a child Of four might leap,
And yet 1t parts sweet love and me
Wide as the starry space may be.
so short, and yet so long bar,
So narrow, yet 50 wide;
Three feet below, and three across.
The heavens and earth divide.
20 Love - say, "whers art thou gone ?"
No answer from the silent tomb
No one that clasps the trembling hand
stretch across thst strip of land
40 cruel grave! Hast thou no voice,
No answer for my heart,
No secret, subtle chain TO bind
What death hath put apart ."
I kneel-and 10 sweet memories stir,
1 see an empty sepuIchCr,
I hear the watching angels say,
"COme see the place where Jesus lay"
Sleep sweet, dear love. where Christ hal
slept,
There Is no sweeter bed
Thy heshy garments folded by
Angels at feet and head.
Stretch out thine hand, o Savior dear,
Then space is bridged from There to Here
Say sweet again to comfort me-
That Where am there ye may be-
So shall Faith see with glad surprise
Her Glory In her Sacrifice.

The Man who GreW.

One day last week a Detroit Me-
chanic was going down Michigan ave-
nue., and became favOrably impressed
with pair OF pants hanging in front
OF q cheap clothing store. The price
was low, the goods seemed all right,
and he made up his mind to pur-
chase.
81 gif you de word Of Andrew
Shaekson dot dose pants are shust like
ircn," said the dealer. II warrants
dem efery dime.'
After three or four days wear, the
purchaser found the bottom OF the
pants crawling toward his knees. 1t
was 3 bad case OF shrinkage, and he
got mad and went back to the store
and said /:
"You sWindled me on these pants |!
See how they have shrunk !"
The dealer looked him sll over, felt
OF his head, pulled on the pants, and
finally said (:
"I shall give you one thousand dol
lars a month II you will travel with
me-"
"How-what ?n
"You ars shust growing right up st
the rate of two inches q day, andI
takes you zTOuuuU the country on ex'
hibitiOn. Does pants are shust as
long as-efer, but you half grown oud
off dem."
81 don't believe it ~ shouted the
man. ~ am forty years old, and quit
growing long ago 20
"I gif you de word OF Andrew
Shackson dot you vas growing"
81 don't care whose word you give
1 say these pants have shrunk nearly
a foot ~
"Has de top Of dose pants sbrunk
down any ?" softly asked the dealer,
"Wby, no."
"Shouldnit de wristbands shrink
down shust as queek as dose bottoms
should shrink up? ? IL it's in de cloth
one part should shrink Ike de oder
eh When l sold you dot elegant
pair Of pants for tree dollar don't
suppose you vas growing go fast, or
shall haf put yum straps on de bot

'Well, 1 don't like this way of do
ing business" said the purchaser.
"5hust like me. II / sells such ele'
CANT pants as does to q man, and hG
grows out of dem, it damages ny
trade. You half damaged me five
hoOnersd dollar, but haf low rent
pays cash for meln goods, and car
make you dis hfty-cent tie for fiv'
cents"
The man walked out to the curb
stone, and, turning around, shook hi
fist and said
"You are q liar and a cheat an'
I'll dare you out here :"
"Such dings sink deep into N!
heart" sighed the dealer, as he tool
down his pipe. 81 dinks 1 sells on
