pone Leo XII.

By kilograms from Rome, we have the
announcement that the ConclaVe Of Car.
bio,l. has succeeded in the election Of &
Pore. Cardinal Gioncha Pecci was
chosen IN the second ballot, and immedi.
,t.ly ss.umed the title Of Leo XIII. The
new Pore has shown himself 10 be man
Of unusual administrative ability. He
yw the great foe Of Antonelli, but Is not
specially obnoxious even to the extreme
men, although he is not himself extreme.
He has shown himseli TO be plant and
polite in the management OF difficult af-
I.in, and perhaps no other man could
have been chosen who would be likely go
5000 or 80 easily as he TO bring aboutsome
kind Of reconciliation with the Italian
government. In person he is tall, with
ine high forehead, narrow at temples,
long llce and straight features; he has a
large mouth, prominent chin and cheer
taI, open counienance; he has a fine
voice, great dignity and even austerity
oil manners in public, but privately is
.HecliOnale, sociable and witty. he has
been the head OF the party which, with
out formally renouncing the right of the
Holy See, acknowledges the wisdom Oi
admitting to the DEGREES OF Providence,
accepting what seems to be irrevocably
accomplished facts. lie is sixty.eight
years oil age, but has much yigor and
youthful activity Of mind, and he is man
Of the sort called practical. His knowl'
edge Of men and his skill in dealing with
them have been displayed in several dif'
icult matters OF administration, and no
nbIy in his dealings with the intrigues oi
the nobility. He is known 10 believe
that the present relations between the
Vatican and the Quirinal are unneces'
nry.
The Rome correspondent OF the Lon
don Timts says that the general opinion
i, that for learning, tact, energy, amia
bility, real moral worth and sincer'
Piety, the Sacred College could not hsy,
found more deserving Pope than Pecci
At Perugia he followed the same policy
recommended by the late Cardinal Riaric
SlOrla; at Naples he advised good Cath
olics to fulfill their duties az citizen
a! municipal and provincial elections
even when the clerical press protesting
o interpret the will OF the Vatican, hss
spjoined the policy Of absteuticn. Car
liual Pecci spoke with great effect agains
the proposal for the removal Of the Con
olavs from Rome. and other measure
advocated by the reactionary party. III
never has had any intercourse with tn
dictionaries Of the present Italian gov
.lnment, but is esteemed by them all, ant
those with whom the necessity Of bis
duty brings him in contact are perfectly
charmed with him.

LONDON, February 20.-Prince Bis.
marck, in q recent speech, said the de-
bates In English Parliament had about
exhausted the Eastern question. He was
Indifferent as TO where the proposed con.
ference may be held, but il held on Ger.
man soil it must have German Presi-
dent. He hoped peace would be main.
tanned; indeed he could hardly see how
fresh complications could arise, but II
they should he would not advise the
Emperor to 60 TO war except in harmony
with the Federal Council Of the German
nation. Were Germany now TO announce
her intentions at the conference she
would simply render It impossible to con-
tinue the work Of mediation. Germany
had no wish to act as arbiter In the pend.
ing conflict. Only for German interests
and German Independence would he ad-
wise the Emperor TO draw the sword.
The TSmes, commenting on Prince Bis.
marck's speech, says II simply eliminates
Germany from the calculation, and the
issue rests between Russia, Austria and
England.

Somewh here, whe'e the tide Of our years ebbs out.
ndhlshed i, the lingering breath,
Where the known and the unknown so strangely
meet,
Flows Tue mystic river Of death.
| Through the shadowy vale SO dark and chill,
Where the eyes grow dim and the pulses still,
Deep loweth ihe silent river
The years pass out from our feverish grasp
Uuhcedlng each bitter regret;
some dIrAencd with sorrow and greving, and
some
In halo OF sunshine set.
md each ia its passing has borne us
Yet near the shores Of the vast unknown,
And nearer the silent river.
Sometimes we dream of the beautiful land,
So free from all sorrows and tears,
And with weary hands folded we earnestly long
To rest from our doubtngs and fears;
And ye!, between US and the longed.for goal
The shadows lie dark, while increasingly roll
The waves Of the silent river.
Watching while loved ones pass over the tide,
SLOW drifting, far out from our sight,
We whisper " Goodbye" through our tears, while
we place
Sweet roses DER brows still and white,
We list Tor some sound from the farther strand
But no echo floats back. from the unknown land
Across the silent river.
Yet think sometimes in the shalowy land
The angels will lovingly wait,
And over the rver!so dark and still,
And up 10 the beautiful gate
or the city where night ne'er darkens the day,
They will lead them safe through the lonely way
Across the silent liver.
And when, TO pass over the river cold,
For my soul the summons shall be,
May the angels Of light from the other shore.
In The shadows be waiting for me,
To safely guard DER the unknown strand
Through the untricd way, to the better land
Beyond the silent river.

GIVE 1T TO EN- IN LArIN.-It is an
oft-spoken whim of the cynics-and posi-
bly, something more-that the doctors give
their prescriptions in Latin, so as TO afford
their ignorant patients the benefit of lit
tie imagination. B0luS panifcas sounds
a great deal more important than bread
pill Some years ago, in Rhode Island
legislature, a member moved to translate
all the Latin phrases in the statutes, so that
the people could understand them. A Mr.
Updike took the ground that it was no ad-
vantage to have people understand the
laws. He said that they were not afraid
of anything that they understood; that it
was the Latin words they were afraid of,
and proceeded to illustrate his position as
follows: Mr.. Speaker, there was man in
South Kingston about twenty years ago
who was a perfect nuisance, and nobody
knew how to get rid Of him. One day he
was hoeing corn, and he saw the sheriff
coming with a paper, and asked what it
was. Now if he had told him it was a
writ, what would he have cared? So he
told him it was capias satistdciendum,
and the man dropped his hoe and ran, and
has not been heard of since.
