THE POPE.

The present Pope is the only one who
has reached the full twenty five years of
the Roman ponti6cate; and he has so
far passed it that there has an ambition
sprung up that he may equal the years
of "the Antioch and Roman certificates
of the prince of the apostles, St. Peter"
The legend is that the latter reigned
seven years at Antioch and twenty-five
at Rome, making thirty-two years in all.
If Plus TX lives till next June he will
accomplish that number, and it is said
that such result would greatly rejoice
the Roman Catholic church. Prayers
and special services are accordingly
offered to this end. but diligent nursing
of the feeble old man is not neglected.
The ItaIie of Rome gives the world this
information of the way the Pope warns
his hands: 1.-The Holy Father is now
much better, and had it not been for
the paralysis of his limbs, it might be
said that his health was as good as il
was last spring. For the past three
days he has been taken from his bed al
nine o'clock in the morning and placed
in the armchair, in which he remains
until two o'clock in the day. 1t il
known that he has horror of fire. HI
can't endure stove in any of his apart
ments; but when the weather is bad
and his hands become cold, he asks TO
his paAeta. This palleta is silver bal
little larger than an egg. in which
hot water was enclosed. The pope take
it, rolls it in his hands for few mo
ments; then, when his hands are warn
enough he places it upon a footstool
and takes it up again if he finds
necessary. This ingenious method Q
warming the hands is the invention O
the Pope himself"

port of New York but they do care to
see the pernicious system broken up
which in late years has, in effect. given
to the Senate, or certain members of it
that control of all important appointments
which is constitutionally vested in the
President alone. For this reason, so far as
the PRESIDENTS action in regard to the ap-
pointments was an attempt to assert his
rightful prerogative of the appointing
power, and to break up the "spoils'
system. so far do not only nine-tenths,

A Naples letter of the 2lst ult, says
that Gen. Grant had arrived there rather
unexpectedly, but that the civil and
military authorities had promptly paid
him their respects and offered him all
friendly services. On the next day after
his arrival he assembled Mount Vesuvius,
which was covered with snow. The fiery
mountain, however, proved so attractive
that it was not until near midnight that
the party returned to Naples. On the
following day the General visited

CONGRESS-.

Congress assembled on Thursday after
its long recess, and began afresh the
wrangle and squabble in which it was
engaged during the extra session. The
House is considering the propriety of
devoting its time to system of drag
net Investigations in the hope of picking
up something that will result in injury
to each of the rival parties. The Dem
Ocrats would investigate one thing, and
the Republicans another. There has
been, heretofore. considerable of this
business and it may be necessary as a
sort Of disinfectant, but just now there
would seem to be other things of more
Importance. While the business of the
country is retarded by dangerous meas
ures now pending in Congress. the
quicker they are disposed of the better.
The Senate considered on Thursday
the prOpriety of admitting the woman suf-
fragists. many of whom are now in WASH
iIgton, on the floor of the Senate cham
Der. Gallant Senator Edmunds moved
to lay the resolution on the table. and
thus. for the present, debarred the elo-
quent ladies from the privilege of step
ping on the sacred floors of that hall to
argue for the 18th amendment, which
the ladies propose to add to the national
constitution, giving women right t.
vote and hold Office. The silver question
is receiving considerable attention from
the Senate. but just how the matter
stands in that body cannot be determin
ed until voting commences. 1t is be
lieved, however. that the Bland bill ha
lost ground, and cannot become law.

GREAT CATHOLIC TEMPERANCE SUc-
oEss.-A recent temperance work by
Fathers Oates, Miller and Segal of the
order of Redemptorist Fathers, at Med
way, Mass, has met with great success.
1t was brought about not by legal means.
but by persevering effort, until the deal
ers in intoxicating liquors could not
make enough to pay their rent bills and
they closed their shops. The dealers
waited for reaction in their favor but
it did not come. Thus the Fathers
have accomplished all that the whole
power of the law has not been able to
accomplish in ten years trial, and Med
way to-day is without a saloon or place
where intoxicating liquor can be pro-
cured for love or money.
