THE POPE Is DEAD.


A dispatch from Rome of the 7th
inst. says: "The Pope died at 457 this after
noon. The conclayc of cardinals is to be
called Immediately" The Pope was so much
better on the 9th, that he was able
TO walk few steps, which probably
FASTENED the end. lie grew worse
at four o'clock in the morning
The cardinals and dignitarics of the papal
court were at the bedside at the moment OF
death. After saying to his physicians,
Death wins this time" and during his last
moments he spoke clearly these words:
Guard the church | loved so well and
sacrcdly." The following dispatch was re-
cciyed at London. The aspect of the city
is quiet t. Indifference, strangely contrast
ing with its appearance ON the death Of the
King Il month ago.
All the cardinals who are in Rome, cX-
cept Monsignors Arnat and Panehianco,
who are unwell, attended the preliminary
congregation in the hall Of the consistory.
They decided the Pope should lie in state
three days in the SiXtin chapel and three
day in the Basiica OF st. Peters. The GER
cmonics will last altogether nine days, af-
ter which the conclavc will meet the Italian
court, and ministry notified the Cardinal
Vicar that they will attend the funeral if
proper places are allotted them. The
strength of Plus IX. with his people was
unQuestionublc. II was derived in large
measure from his personal reputation for
purity and nobility of character. His mo-
tivcs were not impugncd however the wis
dom Of his acts was questioned, He was
an excellent executive, and he left the
church in II condition far more efficient
than that in which he found it, All the
hrotherhoOds and scmi-sccrct, acmi-pri-
vatc organizations looked to him for assis-
tancr and encouragement, and never look
ed in vain. When he died, he was the head
| Of he church in fact as well as in name.
His authority was nowhere disputed, His
name was nowhere spokcd by Catholics cX-
ccpt with affection and vencration, and il
will everywhere be kcherished as among
| those which have obtained blessed i'm
mortality. His reconciliation with Victor
| Emanuel which was made known ON the
death of the latter few weeks since, will
do much to endear the Pope to the Italian
people. 1t was the last great act Of his life
and an appropriate close to his career, The
Pope, who began his administration MS q
liberator ilttingly ended it by extending
forgiveness and the good officers of the
church to the man of all others who did
most put his early ideas into operation.

Victor lIugO's Gift to the stage.
Drivers.


The present made by Victor Hugo
to the omnibus drivers and conductors
on the line which he is accustomed to

rode outside an omnibus, and made
several long journeys from the suburbs
on one side to those on the opposite eX-
tremity of the city, The mode of travel.
ing pleased him, and he resumed it as
soon as the fall of the Empire enabled
him to return to Paris. 1t is his "cus-
tom always of IN afternoon" to mount
tho knife-board of an omnibus going Il
long distance, and, as soon as he has ar
rived at the destination of the vehicle,
to get on the first one which returns to
the noighborhood of his home. The
veteran poet is so hearty that he can 60
out in all weathers without great coat
He is accustomed, when in the elevated
position, from which he commands q
view Of the busy life of Paris, to iot
down the ideas which come so readily
to his teeming brain, and these ideas he
throws into shape on his return home
1t is said he has written volumes on the
knife-boards of omnibuses. II tcertainly
is not poverty which makes him choose
the carriage of the people, and he was
doubtless, glad of an opportunity to dc
graceful act of charity to the hard
worked men with whom he had beer
brought into contact. Hence his New
Years gift of 800.

Peculiar Mexican Dance.
Lady in St. Paul Pioneer

The Mexican ladies dress in the most
vivid colors and striking contrasts.
They combine the handsomest articles
of attire with the commonest and poor
est. In the intervals of dancing the
women retire to the dressing-room and
refresh themselves with wine or beer
and cigarettes. Even the youngest
girls smoke The dancing is similar to
ours, except it is much slower. They
only had one national dance, which is
called the "danza." This is danced in
the slowest possible manner, and is well
adapted for warm climates. A young
lady in describing il said, "it was the
easiest thing in the world to learn--you
only had to stand still and be hugged.'
1t seems to be a great favorite here.

Catching Cold.

Herald Ol henUns
The season of the year is now upon
us when people everywhere will be
taking cold, and in many cases they will
suffer much and die. A littlecare would
often prevent it. In the first place, as
one of the means to prevent cold, the
daily bath in a warm room, with much
friction, is very important, In no case
should the body be chilled Use much
friction over the chest and throat, and
snuff into the nostrils little OF the
water warmed TO comfortable temper
ature. Next, otter the bath, take daily
exercise in the open air, neither too
much nor too little; exposing the body
somewhat to the cold and sun for
short time, but never eXhausting 1t.
One chief danger from cold is the ex-
hausted state of the body that first oc-
ours, so it is not able to resist unfavora-
bic influences. People who are not
very vigorous should avoid oyer-exer-
ton and keep the strength up to the
highest point. 1t will help those prone
to cold to sleep all they can. Another
cause OF COluS Is culluS lOO HtullIll "lSl
a days work, when there are not forces
enough to digest the food and keep up
the circulation. Eat moderately at
nights, if you would avoid a cold. A
cold in its early stages may be broken
by hot foot baths, warmth to the body,
especially a hot pack or hot bath in
the middle of the day, with much fric-
ton, and quiet in comfortable room.
It is not advisable to take hot bath Mt
night in such cases. When you have
a cold don't eat much or work much,
unless you have great physical strength,
when a hard days work may be a good
thing to equalize the circulation and
restore the action to the skin, which nj
wnys suflnrs whnn ono tnkns cold.

e. A craft, new TO the waters OF
Lake Champlain, lies at the dock in
Burlington. 1t is owned by Jones 4
Fonda Of St. Adams. 1t is called a
catamaran and illustrates that some
thing can be learnt from the heather,
rs it is built after and takes its name
from crafts used by the South Sea
Islanders. 1t is made up of two
boats, eight or ten feet apart, with a
platform extending from one to the
other. on which are sails, as on an or
binary yacht. Each boat is two
feet wide at the top and one foot at
the bottom; Is feet 8 inches deep
amidships, and is pointed at either
end. Each has a rudder, and both
are controlled by tiller on the plat,
form-which latter is some ten feet
wide and can carry something like 8
score of persons. The boats being sc
narrow and of so light draft, the
speed of the catamaran is something
wonderful; while from her peculiar
construction she would be perfect,
safe in the severest gale, tip-ove
being an impossibility. This boa
was purchased in New York. We ar
