Cabinet Discussion.

1T is very plain" said Mr.. Hayes,
across the table, to his unconstitutional
advisers, that something must be done to
reorganize the cabinet, or my administra-
ton will be dead failure"
1T had already occurred to me-" said
Mr.. Everts, excltedly rising from the table
and walking up and down the room that
the apparently spontaneous resignation at
this junCture Of one of our number would
have a good effect upon the public mind,
allaying whatever hostility the policy of
reform may have created 10 certain quar-
tiers and constituting to all ntents and pun
poses a sop to Cerberus, Cerberus being
here employed in fgurative sense rather
than the strict construction of the term
and for this reason l had personally come
to the conclusion that it was high time
dttuS tempus-for one of us to resign"
fhe other members of the cabinet look
ed at each other, and. newborn hope
sparkled in every eye.
'Everts, said Honest John Sherman,
this is sudden, but it is exceedingly noble
and patriotic in you. Allow me to grasp
your hand.
1T reminds me-" said Schurz, taking
out pocket handkerchief that had been
scorched in the Patent Office fire, and ap.
plying the soundest corner of it to his
brimmlng eyes-''it reminds me of the
heroic Komanwho plunged in full accoutre-
ments into the yawning gulf for his native
Tor perhaps adOpted) country's sake. 1t
moves me to tears but such tears, trust,
will not be deemed unmanly."
Il don't fancy that papish comparison
OF Schurz's," said bluff Dick Thorn pson.

Hill Devens, in an insinuating tone, that
Brother Everts was remaining in office Of
the sacrifice OF his immense legal income.
and that we had no right to ask him 10

Pastoral Calls.

Instead of INDUCING in any controversy
respecting hell, and mixing secular with
religious topics, the Religious Editor of
the Temperance department sof The
ARGUS adopts the language Of the Joliet
Fh0ni:c which By the way handles the
subject with great delicacy-and iiwould
respectfully inquire the whereof in regard
to the marked dissimilarity of opinion
which exists in majority of cases between
Pastors and laymen concerning pastoral
visits:
There is one luxury that preachers en-
Joy that is monopolzed by them in very
tyranncal manner, and those selfish
moralizers have the cheek. to presume that
it would not be proper for the members of
other professions to initiate their example.
They generally pay visits OF ceremony to
the people 10 their parish at times when
there are none but lady members of each
family at home. We propose to argue
this point little. We wish TO know why
an editor Of say leading moral paper
like sTHE ARGUS, cannot accomplish as
much good in that line as a preacher
Would it not be better to call when the
man of the house is at home, so as to
catch the biggest sinner frst7 The ladies'
have not the reputation of being in need OF
spiritual consolation as much as the men,
and it is generally a waste Of time to make
converts as long as their husbands are
running wild.
IF the writer were a preacher, he
would have less to say on this subject, but
as his lot is cast 10 different channel, he
feels like claiming the privilege of az
equality which the Declaration of indie.
pendence guarantees US all, to act Just like
preacher. lfpreachers can do good by
calling around in the middle of the after
noon, or at any other time when every.
thing is lovely, we would like to do oul
share OF the work aud not. let them do it al
all the time.
We like to have ministers and othe
folks of quality call at our bouse, and i
they cannot come when we are at home W
would like to have them come anyway, blu
we are apt to feel disappointed when on
better half tells us what a good time sh
has had and how she enjoyed the visit, AN
how much good the visit did her togethe
with all that was said and d1ne-all
which we have to take second handed.
we are believer IN the orthodo
version Of the Christian faith, and are a
ways glad to converse on the religious an
moral subjects with those who teach an
ses good examples. We write this 10 b.
halt OF our fellow sufferers who are so III
fortunate as to be deprived of good de
OF spiritual food through the present Gu
tom OF making pastoral calls, and we wis
to .enter mild protest against II

in length, enclosing the city proper,
which has 225,OO0 inhabitants, and
the suburbs outside and adjoining
the wall, $4,000. The municipal
government has no jurisdiction. in
the suburbs. The city is entered at
y gates, where the driveway on the
wall is depressed to the level of the
streets, the wall on the outer side
preserving its height up to the gate
houses. The wall is 20 feet high, and
varies in the width of the top drive
way from 100 to 175 feet, having
double rows of shade trees on each
side. A ditch 25 feet wide and a
street facing it, encircles the city.
The construction of this wall was
begun in 1916 as defence.
The older buildings are very large,
plain and substantial, but of antiqne
style. The new ones conform to
modern styles in many respects, and
the aspect Of the city is undergoing
a rapid change. Building in the

WHERE MY PREACHERS PREACH.

The Pacific Christian Adpocate does
not oppose Mr.. Hines election, but
condemns political preachers. Surely
the AdUocate will not deny that good
men are needed in Congress, and
that it is better that a good man
should canvass the State than an un-
principled demagogue. Or is the
Adcocate apprehensive that politics
will become more corrupt if preachers
engage in the business? If Mr..
Hines can do this work faithfully and
well which he has undertaken in the
political field, why should he not do
it? Is not this field as white for the
harvest as any other? May not the
minister of the gospel find work ac-
ceptable to his God, here as well as
elsewhere? Is not the healthy growth
of true christianity as much depend
ent upon good government, wise laws
and virtue in public places, as upon
the ordinary run of "whangdoodle
preaching" Of which commodity there
is so much in this country? And
then what is more than that, whose
businesse is it if Mr.. Hines or any
other preachers wants to engage in
politics? He surely has a legal,
equitable and moral right to do SO.
Honorably pursued there is no more
honorable calling, and it is unreason-
able and unjust to suppose man has
turned rascal because he runs for
Congress. The Church instead of
complaining should feel honored when
the people take man from the 81
cred desk to be their Representative.

AN ANCIENT CITY.
MILAN, ITALY, April, 1873.


the Alps and the Appenines, the
Adriatic and the Mediterranean, and
midway between the rivers Ticino
and AIDA, prominent branches of the
Po. These rivers supply network
of navigable canals, which reach the
principal cities of the great plateau
of Lombardy, Piedmont and Venice.
The canals are some 700 years old,
having been commenced in 1117.
The rivers Olona and Lombro also
feed these canals, and their waters
are carried into the sewers that un-
derlay the city, and that irrigating
canals into the rice fields and mead
ows. These canals were improved
and extended by Leonardo da Vinci
in 1449.
Milan is not rich in antiquities,
although very old city, dating back
$500 years, for the reason that it has
been on three occasions leveled to the
ground by war, and often partially
destroyed. 1t was first conquered by
Claudio Marcello, 4. ID. 222, and for
several centuries was the residence
of various Emperors. In the year
452 it was taken by Attila and de-
stroyed. 1t was rebuilt after time
and conquered by the Goths in 493,
and in $50 second tilhe laid in ruins
by Urai, Gothic General, and its
inhabitants carried into slavery. 1t
was rebuilt, its walls extended to the
inner bank of the present canal.
During the long period of peace that
followed, it became IA prosperous city.
In the latter part of the Sth century
Charlemagne conquered Italy, and
withit Milan was subjected to France,
and held until Ansperto united the
small principalities of Lombardy, and
by war retook it. In the early part
of the 1lth century the principality
of Milan became Republic, elected
its Governor and municipal officers,
and, to propagate its political doc
trines made war upon its weak neigh
bors Serde and Como, and after a
turbulent career until 1862, it was
invaded by Emperor Barbarossa,
and the city third time reduced to
a mass of ruins. 1t was rebuilt and
in 1l76 recovered as the result of the
battle of Legnano, wherein the army
of Barbarossa was nearly annihilated
and the remnant driven across the
Alps. The lost nationality having
been recovered, it continued a Repub-
lie in name until it fell under the
load of its internal corruptions and
dissensions, into the hands Gion Wis.,
cont, who was invested with the title
of Duke of Milan by his patron the
Emperor Vinceslas in 1895. This
ambitious ruler extended the Duchy
by conquest, to the shores of the
Adriatic, which acquisition was lost
by his successor, Gion Maria. The
rulers of this Duchy that followed
were Filippi Maria, Francesca Sperze,
Ne Galeazo, Gion Geleazo, Moro,
Maximillian and francesca I'd, who
in the midst Of wars with France,
died in l540. Charles 9Th, made his
son Filippo I'd, Duke of Milan. The
Spanish dominion in Italy was at
tended by bloody wars between
Spain, France, Piedmont and Aus
tria, which lasted 46 years, until 1876.
In 1888 Milan was occupied by the
army of Gallo Sardo, and was ruled
by Charles Emanuel, King of Pied
mont; but the treaty Of peace of 1896
gave the Duchy Of Milan to Austria.

year the Austrian army returned and
possessed itself of Milan, which was
then the capital of the kingdom of
Italy, and created the kingdom of
Lombardo Venezia. Attempts were
made in 1921 and 1884 to shake off
the tyrannical rule of Austria, by
revolutions that resulted in great loss
of life to the Italians-nothng more.
On the 18th of March, 1o4S, rev.
olutionary force of the city of Milan
attacked the Austrian troops in the
forts and streets, and after struggle
of five days completely routed and
drove them from the city, and to the
gates of Mantua and Verona. King
Charles ALBERT, of Piedmont, has
tened to the assistance of the insur-
rectionists, but having been defeated
retired from Lombarly. In August
Of the same year the fortunes of war
again placed the city in possession of
the Austrians, and they held it till
June 4, 1859, when they were finally
expelled by the united forces of Vic
tor Emanuel and Louis Napoleon.
The Italians have always regarded
BQnaparte Emperors as patriots, and
many memorial monuments exist in
Milan erected in honor of their ser
vices to Italy.
The stirring events of late years
have been commemorated by the
erection of columns and statues.
The five days struggle of March,
1913, was celebrated this year by
splendid illumination of the monu-
ment erected in honor of the event.
Thousands of gas cts were arranged
to represent banners, wreaths, flow
ers, and all manner of triumphal de-
vices, from base to top, presenting a
most brilliant spectacle-rendering
the square and adjacent streets as
light as day. The vast crowd that
filled every available space, was as
ubilant and excited as though the
event COMMUNICATED was but yes
terday.
The oldest buildings in Milan
must, of necessity, date their erection
after the Sd destruction of the city,
some 700 years ago. There is but
one exception, and that applies to
only part of building row of
16 marble columns, connected at the
top by arches. They are 80 feet
high, 3 feet in diameter, and stand
near the middle of the street in front
of the church of st. Lawrence, to
which they are joined by an arch at
each end. This row of columns once
formed the front portico of the Tenn
pie of Hercules, erected A. d., 235,
and afterwards converted into baths
by the ancient Romans. The main
building was destroyed and the
church of St. Lawrence erected on
its site in 1911; ruined again in 1875
and rebuilt in 1890, as it now stands.
This church contains some highly
priced works of statuary and paint
ing by eminent masters, and the
tombs of st. Agrulino, Gala Placidia
and Ataulfo.
There are 55 churches inside the
wall, most of them quite old and rich
in memorial ornaments and historical
interest. Some of them occupy the
sites of old heather temples that ex-
isted before the Christian era. There
are 20 hotels, 10 public baths, 10
banks of exchange and deposit, 3
music publishing houses, 9 daily
newspapers, 4 public. reading rooms,
IA theatres and opera houses, 5 gen
cral hospitals, 2 orphan asylums, 4

The Baltimore Sun represents the Nation
as claiming that States can be sued as well
as persons. The Sun read the Nation'S ar
ticle carelessly. That paper cites the elev-
enth article of amendments to the Federal
Constitution, as forbidding States to be
sued. Perhaps this article may be new to
others:
Art. XII. "The judicial power of the
United States shall not be construed to ex-
tend to any suit In law or equity CON-
menced or prosecuted against one OF the
United States by citizens OF another State,
or by citizens or subjects OF any foreign
State.o .f5s-s t.a 81
This language, let us remark in passing,
shows clearly that the States were by the
fathers regarded in very different light
from that in which they are now looked at.
"One OF the United States" Each Of
them was sort OF sovereign. Each Of
them was styled a State in the sense in
which that word had always been used up
to that time. England was State. France
was a State. Spain was State. Virginia
was State. But now how fallen. Virginia
is still called ga State," but the usurpations
OF the Federal Government have shorn her
OF almost every shred of the dignity that
belongs to such q body-poltic. "One OF
the United States" might almost as truly
be styled one OF the provinces of the Ma
tional government.

TIE TOBACCO TAX.-In the animated de-
bate in Congress on Wednesday upon the
tobacco and whiskey-tax question, Judge
Harris OF Virginia took the proper position
that it is "best to declare at once what Con-
gress intends to do in regard to the reduc-
ton" This is certainly true. Just so long
as the question hangs tire in Congress and
uncertainty peryades the public mind, Just
so long will the best business interests OF
the country be seriously retarded. Here,
in the comparatively small city Of Peters
burg. thousands of dollars have ceased. to
circulate every week in the tobacco trade,
and consequently hundreds OF working peo-
pie and grocerymen are short OF their usual
labor and business. And so in all OF the
tobacco towns and cities in the country.
There will be serious stagnation in business
until the rate OF taxation is fixed, and when
fixed this time it should stay fixed for at
least four or five ears.-Petersburg Post.
