The Romance of Charlie Ross

Several Baltimore ladies Will have it

Ross, notwlths,aIdi ng the ia hers ina

that AS Mr.. Ross has been subjected to
50 many appointments, his MUD has
become morbdly biased against the
probability Of finding his chlld, excep'
probably by some channel conceived by
himself, aud that when he undertakes
the investigation of case in which there
is probability in favor of child being
the real Charlie,he does 50 with SO much
doubt that he is incompetent to iEdeAtify
him. Ii tie 'Squio Rio" is the pet in

their is a strong tinge OF probability In
his history leading TO the belief that he
may be Charlie Ross, but because he is
n very bright and interesting child.
! When he arrived in Baltimore on the
brig Potomac, about three months ago,
he was tanned from the effects of the
tropical sun of British Guiana and from
exposure on the voyage. HIS hair also
Was unnaturally black from the same

greately changed his appearance. He
is now much iairer than when he came,
and his Lair is liter and decidedly

shall be taken to Germantown about
The Isl of July, when all the surround
ings OF the place will be similar to those
existing when Chaslie Ross was stolen.
Mrs. Ross, moreover, must see him fol

Reasons Why All Should Use the
Reactjonary Health Lift.

1t makes strong appeals to the common sense of
every man or woman in every walk of life. 1t
furnishes exercise which may and should be in
troduced into every house; which may be practiced
at all seasons in all kinds of weather, by persons of
both sexes, all ages, and degrees of strength or
weakness, alone or in company. No one can say too
much in praise of it, and no one can afford to do
without it. All who investigate thoroughly, use it,
and consider it invaluable and Indispensable 1t is
the SAFEST simplest cheapest and most efficient
medicine discovered. No claim is set up for it
which is unscientifc or impracticable.
Genera2.-It is the best of rest. 1t is perfectly
safe. No harm ever came from its use. It strains
to the affected parts. By its the health is easily
maintained. The purchase of Reactionary LITTER
is the best kind Of economy. The convenience of
having one in the house is very great
Mind and Brain. 1t invigorates and
strengthens the brain, and renders it more active
and efficient in all its operations.
sieep.-It is the simplest and safest narcotic. It
is the most natural and probably the best means
inducing sound and refreshing sleep.
Nerves.-lt ls wonderful tonic to the whole
nervous system. 1t is most eficaeious remedy in
paralysis, if taken in time.
lungs, ThrOat and Voice.-It gives special
expansion and greater mobility to the chest; en-
ton, and brings the voice fully under control
As preventive and cure of lung diseases it has no
equal.
Exercfse-Itis is the most perfect exercise for man
or woman, furnishing the best form of physical
culture and deyelopement in the safest, easiest,
most thorough and expeditions manner. 1t is
better than the gymnasium and free from its
than boating, and infinitely better than drugs in
majority of chronic diseases 1t rounds and hardens
the muscles, and educates them into ever ready,
faithful and efficient servants of the will.

Civil Service Reform.

The true character of the sham civil service
reformer was never shown up in clearer light
than in the case of Collector Simmons of the
Boston Custom House. They have been howl
ing for years that the offices ought to be given
and administered without regard to politics;
that fitness and fidelity should be the only
tests Now they say the fact that Mr.. Simmons
is acknowledged to be the best Collector Boston
ever had, in business point of view, ought not
to count 10 his favor 1t is not q very remark.
able thing to find q man who does his duty, and
it is no credit to him when found. Plenty of
men could be selected who could do rs we'll as
Simmons in the Boston Custom House. Ii Is
not even allowed to the Collectors credit that
he promptly and cheerfully took his office out
of politics, in accordance with the Presidents
order, and kept it out till directed to put it
back. And why? Because, forsooth, Mr..
Simmons ''did not believe in the order;" as
though q mans thoughts, as well as his actions,
were to be under the control of his official su-
periors. The false pretense of the ''reformers''
is further shown by their opposition to the pro-
motion of Deputy Collector Fiske, who Is abuu-
dainty competent They want a politician,
they say, but they do not want Mr.. Simmons
The simple truth Is, the "reformers" want the
offices for themselves aud friends. That Is the
end and aim of all their cant about Purifying
the public service, taking the offices out of pol
itlcs, and so on dd ndusean1. They look sancti-
moniously and talk piously In public, but the
spirit OF their private devotions is like that OF
the old miser, who prayed after this wise: 20
Lord, bless me and my wife, my son John and
his wife. We four, and no more. Amen

POpes and their Names,

1t Is fact generally known that monks and
nuns on assuming their vows, and popes on as
ceuding the pontifical throne. usually change
their names. The reason of this change in
case of the popes is q superstitious belief that
unless this is done the new pontif will not live
long, The custom has prevailed since it was
inaugurated in 956 by Octavian Cont, who as
sumed the name and title Of John XII. Julius
Medici would have made breach had he been
permitted, but his friends prevailed upon him
to take the name of Clement, he being the
seventh pope to bear that name. Thirty-two
years later, 1775, Marcellus Servius was elected
and insisted upon retaining his own name. As
Marcellus III, therefore, he assembled the throne
on the 9th of April. He was a Young man
and in robust health, and yet he lived but
twenty-ons days after his elevation. Since
that time no pope has ventured to offend
against the tradition. 1t is little singular
that while the name of John has been a favor
lite one, no less than twenty-one popes having
chosen 1t, none have chosen it since the death
Of John XXI, in 1416. The first pope bear
ing the name of Plus, took the position In 142,
and the name did not reaDpesr after MS death
till 145S. The first Leo was elected IN 44o as
the successor of Sixtus third, when ne was
only deacon. He was surnameo the Great,
and has been canonized, and IS regarded by
many as the first real Pope. The II following
LeOs assumed the tiara in 699, 795 Si1, 003, 928,
936, 1910, 1913, 1905 and 1873.

A Recent Interview.

His Holiness, Pope Pho Mono, was received
by his illustrious predecessor, St. Peter, with a
smile of cordial welcome. "You have had
long and tranquil reign" said the Saint. "T
trust you have left the affairs of our holy
Church in flourishing condition on earshP'
His Holiness assured st. Peter that the
Catholic faith was never more firmly rooted
and grounded, aud the influence of the Church
never more firmly established than when he
left Rome; 10 fact, that Macaulay was right
when he said that she would yet exist in un-
diminished vgor when that New Zealander
was making his celebrated sketch of the ruins
of St. PauPs.
The Saint looked pleased, and said to his
Holiness, II am glad to hear SO favorable an
account of your spiritual reign; was your tenn
poral reign equally successful?"
"Not in all respects" replied his Holiness;
s'still left behind me about tweuty-four mil
lions of money"
'.Indeed.'' said st. Peter, "we touched no such
sum as that in my day. To whom did you en-
trust such vast hoard?"
"To the Rothschilds," said his Holiness hssi-
tatingly.
Something like frown overspread the feat.
ures of the Saint "To the Rothschilds," said
he with delberation, "are they not Jews?"
81 believe-that is to say-l think-yes-they
are" said his Holiness with still greater hesi-
tation.
Sand do you mean to tell me-" said the
Saint sternly, "that you, the Vicar of Jesus
Christ on earth, deposited the contribu.
tions of our holy Church with the descendants
of those men who reviled and spat upon and
cruelty put Him to death?'
"Well-ah!-yes, L did,
"Why did you?" said the Saint sternly,
"You should have had powerful reason"
81 did have very powerful one,' replied his
Holiness. "The truth is, st. Peter, did not
know any Christians whom 1 was willing to
trust with SO much money."-N. Y. Times

The Congressional committee on the cleo
toral count will recommend the doing away
with the electoral college, though each State
is still to have as many votes as 1t has Sena-
tors and Representatives. Each candidate,
however, is to have the benefit of whatever
votes he has in every State, and his share in
the electoral vote is to be determined accord
ing to "the rule of three" by the following
statement of ratios: As the aggregate vote
of any State is to each candidates vote, so is
the whole electoral vote to each candidates
share. The State authorities are to figure
out these results, and send them and the votes
upon which they based them to Washington
for final count.

Mr.. SoUTHARD of Ohio is trying to look

To use the the vocabulary of the favorite
game of his section he sees Calhoun and
goes him one better. The famous scheme
of dual executive which the great Car
Gilman advanced in the Senate during
the fierce debates over the compro-

slightly changed by the little Ohioan. Mr..
Calhoun recognized two sections. Mr.. South
ard thinks he sees three. Mr.. Calhoun's
scheme attracted much attention and excited
alarm. Mr.. Southard's scheme will only
provoke derision.
