The Pope.

The present Pope is the only one who has
reached the full twenty five years of the Ro-
man pontificate; and he has so far passed it
that there has an ambition sprung up that
he NAV 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
be will accomplish that number, and it is
said that such result would greatly ejoice
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 Hdlie of Rome
gives the world this information of the way
the Pope warns his hands: 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 it was
last spring For the past three days he has
been taken from his bed at nine o'clock in
the morning and placed in his armchair, in
which he remains until two o'clock If the
day. 1t is known that he has a horror OF
fire. He cant endure stove in any of his
apartments but when the weather is bad
and his hands become cold, he asks Tor hi,

larger than an egg, in which hot water i,
enclosed. The pope takes it, rolls it in his
hands for a few moments then, when his
hands are warm enough he places it upon a
footstool, and takes it up again if he find,
it necessary. This ingenious method OF
warming the hands is the invention of the
Pope himself"

A Washington correspondent says Mrs.
Hayes employs no hair-dresser to artistically
bang her front hair aud puff the remainder
on top of her head She seems to have a
fine suit of hair, which is neatly arranged
in a coil at the back of her head her front
hair is brought down upon her cheeks, COW
ering the temples and fastened just behind
the ears. It is now twenty-five years since
Lucy Webb, rather against the wishes of
her parents, married Rutherford b. Hayes.
She won his heart with her hair worn just
as it is now, and she will not risk its loss by
any change. 1t distinguishes her from other
women. Mrs. Hayes wore no ornaments
until recently she has been seen with very
handsome, new-looking gold necklace. She
does not wear ear rings or brooch. She is a
sincere Methodist Christian. and seems to
belong to that old-fashioned portion of the
church which requires simplicity OF dress

French folded hat under his arm and invite
ladies to drink wine with him. Mrs. New

Reantiful TO the Last.

1t now seems that Mr.. Whittier had not
designed to be present at the late famous At
iantc dinner, and his unexpected appear
ance was due to his inability to resist the ur
gent solicitations of many friends who were
10th to have the feast proceed without him.
When he first resolved to follow the inclina-
tions of his shy nature by remaining at home,
he wrote little poem, in which he acknowl-
edged the kindness of his literary friends
aud admirers, as exhibited in their eulogi-
ums upon his seventeenth birthday. AT the
dinner, in response to the toast in which Mr.
Houghton proposed his health, Mr.. Whittier
remarked that he had placed some lines in
Mr.. Longfellow's hands which he would beg
his friend to read. Mr.. Longfelow, thus
prompted, read to the table the exquisite
sonnet that follows. 1t was withheld from
publication at the time, as the author had
made arrangements for its appearance in
the Literary World. We think our readers
will agree with us that thanks were never re-

The Eastern Situation.

The Russian forces succeeded in cap
turing Sophia on Thursday of last week,
after skirmish in which they are said to
have lost but twenty-four men. This is the
first large town in European Turkey they
have taken, and it will add to the excite
ment in England, which is daily becoming
of a grave character. While the prevailing
sentiment, especially in official circles, is I'M
questionably opposed to war, at the same
time We have no doubt that there would be
deeppublic humiliation in England if Russia
should make a peace with Turkey without
the advice of England and without regard
to British interests. The dispatches from
London, Vienna and St. Petersburg show
tn it is a critical hour in the relations of
the nations Immediately interested in the
war. The suggestion of Russia that the
first proposition should be request from
Turkey for an armistce is entirely proper
and regular And that Russia, waging a
great war upon cause that is deemed suf-
ficient, and gaining great victories, should
Hiouoolil ueoiihe Vic usual nuns VI Nicloiy
at the request of an interested but non-com-
Blatant spectator is too much to expect from
the human nature of rulers who make ma
tional robberies business. 1t is possible,
aud seems probable, that Turkey will ask an
armistice indeed, that is said to have been
already done that Russia will grant it, and
that England will be humored and con
suited in the settlement; but if England
means to prevent an acquisition of terri
tory by Russia she must fight. Suppose We
prophesy that she will not fight about it,

be Not Among Wine Bibbers.

The charge that Christ WIS wine bihber was
made by his enemies 1t was false charge and
the statement that he either made or drank n-
toxcating wine has never been proved 1t is a
mere opinion given by the wine drinkers Of the
present day AS an apology to cover their own
drinking habits. The fact that there are two
kinds of wine spoken OF In the Bible is ~ plain
ana conclusive as any fact need be. hundred
authorities both ancient and modern are found
to sanction this view. Some of the foremost
scholars of the age have adopted and promulgated
this theory. Rev. Dr. William Patton, in his I'M
answered and unanswerahle book, entitled /" Bible
Wines; Laws of Fermentation" brings con-
elusive evidence on this question The unier-
mented wine is dirediv on ne tables Of sererdl
thousand churches Of his country More than a
hundred ecclesiastical bodies have recommended
the nnfermented wine for communion purposes,
instead of the alcoholic compound so frequently
used and which, in many instances, is entirely
innocent of any portion of the fruit Of the vine.

The Murphy Movement.

This marvellous movement against drink
ing is said to be now in active operation in
twenty-eight different states. Its success in
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois has been con
spicuous--thcse three states, it is believed,
taking the lead in the good accomplished.
In the East, perhaps the best work has been
done in New York state. In some OF the
interior counties there has been a wonderful
falling off in the number of arrests and ap
plcations for aid from poormasters. In
Pennsylvania, in the single city of Pitts
burgh it is reported that sixty thousal d
signatures were obtained to the pledge.
Massachusetts,. At Chicopee, in single
evening, one hundred and forty signatures
were taken at "a crowded meeting. At South
Adams six hundred names have been signed
to the Murphy pledge And in various other
places the movement is progressing success
fully. As an illustration of the work, the
following from the Troy Times will be read
with interest, relating how the reform took

An Old Trick.

The democratic papers and politicians at
the North are making quite flourish of
trumpets over the report that ex-confederate
Cockerel, Senator from Missouri, proposes
to offer an amendment to the constitution
prohibiting pensions to rebel soldiers, com
pensation for war damages and secession.
This will do very well for campaign clap
trap, and this is all it is designed for. 1t is
the repetition of an old joke. When the
present confederate House assembled in De-
cember, 1876, Mr.. Hunter, of Virginia, of.
fered a resolution instructing the committee
on the judiciary to report within twenty
days a similar amendment prohibiting the
payment to persons who We're disloyal of
claims growing out of the late war. A vote
was forced and the resolution was passed,
more than half the democrats lodging a
record, and nearly all the Southern mem
bers voting against it. But the committee
failed to report, and at the expiration of a
month Mr.. Hunter, who seems to have been
in earnest, offered another resolution in
structing the committee to report within two
days This was deteated the Southern dem
ocrats rallying against it and capturing
Northern democrats This was the last that
was heard of Mr.. Hunters resolution, aud
Mr.. Cockrell's would share similar fate.
So much for buncombe. Per contra, Mr..
Wilson of West Virginia, has introduced a
bill into the House of Representatives which
proposes that large number of Southern
war-claims that have been suspended in the
Quartermaster's and Commissary Depart
ments for lack of evidence as to the loyalty
of the claimants during the war, shall be
taken from these departments and be refer
red to select committee, to report thereon,
by bill or otherwise. The bill provides IS that
the loyalty of each citizen shall be presumed
until his or her disloyalty shall be affirma-
lively proven" The Southern war-clains
amount to more than the public debt of the
United States aud. if Mr.. Wilson's heory
AS to the presumption of the loyalty were
established the raid upon the treasury would
'qual many hundreds of millions OF dollars.
The government has hitherto acted upon
the principle that the claimant must prove
his loyalty during the war; in order to be en-
titled to any consideration. The presump-
ton of both law aud fact is against him,
since he was resident in hostile country
and the de fdctO governments of the South
were certainly in rebellion against the United
States. 1t is well known, as matter of
fact, that the great mass of the people were
disloyal, and therefore, by the laws of war,
exposed to all the losses of their own posi-
ton, without any right of compensation
from the government against which they
We're fighting. Mr. Wilson's bill assumes
just the reverse Of this well-known fact and
we're it to become a law it would open the
door for the payment of nearly all the dam
ages caused by the Union armies in the
South. One of the hopes Of the Solid
South is ultimately to secure this. through
the ascendency of the dsmoelatic party,
