THE NEW POPE'S POLICY.
What the President of the Italian
Centennial Commission Thinks
OF Leo Nil.

The Philadelphia Times has the fol
lowing;
Count D'Assi, president of the Italian
Centennial Commission, who is still re-
siding in this city, studying the lnstitu.
tons OF the country, and the manners
and customs of the people, being person,
ally acquainted with. tho successor of Plus
TX, and belonging to what is known as
the Liberal school of Italian politics, his
opinions concerning the election of Car
dinal Pecci to the papacy ought to be of
some interest to the public at this time.
Such opinions rs he gave, yesterday, after
leaving the Cathedral, where he had
been attending the services in commem-
Grafton of the death of Plus TX.
The count is enthusiastic in express
ions of admiration for the learning, tact
and dignity, combined with the amiabil-
ity and sterling piety of Leo Nil In
his opinion it would have been impossi-
bic for the conclave to have made bet
ter choice, ard it is probable that it
could not have made any other SO good.
"The welfare of the Italian people,
says the count, "demands now, more
than ever, that the occupant of the papal
throne be man Of peace, and such a
man is Leo XIII. AS some one has said,
he is happy medium between Ultra
montanism and Liberalism ! regard his
election as a most suspicious event for
the church and for Italy. While bles-
sing to his flock OF over Two hundred
millions, the choice, | am sure, is highly
satisfactory to the government Of King
Humbert, between whom and the new
pontitf predict that there will be no
threatening crash of diplomacy. His
policy has ever been one ofsineerity and
love and by it he has conquered poten-
tates who would have never granted the
least concession to dictatorial movements
or uncompromising opposition. BY such
a policy all who know him believe that
he will be guided as pope, and be ena-
bled to carry out all his ecclesiastical
measures without sacrificing right or
Justice in the slightest degree. His emf
nent fitness for the position was the sub
feet of comment in Italy, years ago,
while the extreme Ultramontanism and
uncompromsng spirit OF Cardinal Pare
bianco caused the best friends Of church
and state to hope that under such cir
cumstanccs as those at present existing
in Italy his aspirations to the chair Of
st. Peter would end in disappointment.
Times have changed, and Leo XIII. is
not only up with the times, but possess
ed Of extraordinary diplomatic powers,
which rs he has given us every reason
to hope, he will exercise for the best in
tcrests of both church and state

Goodness Under Fire,

Towards the close of the fight Of Ink
erman, Lord Raglan, returning from tax
ing leave of Gen Stanaways, met a scar
geant carrying water for the wounded.
The sergeant drew himself up to salute,
when n round shot came bounding over
the hill and knocked his forage cap out
of his hand. The man picked it up, dus-
ted it on his knee, placed it carefully on
his head, and made the salute, not mus
Gle of his countenance moving the while
"A neat thing that, my man" said Lord
Raglan. Yes, my lord" returned the
sergeant with another salute, "but miss
is as good as mile" The commander
was not surprised by such an exhibi
ton of sang froid, being himself good
that way. He was badly hurt at Water
loo, and, says the prince Of Orange, who
was in the hospital, ~ was not con
scious of the presence of Lord Fitzroy
Somerset until | heard him call out in
his ordinary tone: Hello! Don't carry
that arm away till have taken off my
ringr Neither wound nor operation
had cxtorted groan from his lips. -

The Postal Savings Bank.

The following we find in the St. Lou
is Republican:
The postal savings bank bill, which
the house committee on currency have
agreed on, authorizes persons to deposit
either coin or greenbacks, not less than
twenty-five cents nor more than IS Il
week at any money order post-otlice, re-
ceiving credit therefor on n pass book.
When the deposits to the credit of one
person amount to $40, the depositor may
demand and receive postal order on the
treasury for the sum. These orders are
transferable by Endorsement, but not
more than fivo Endorsements are to be
permitted on each. They are to be ex-
changeable also for small bonds of $40,
$40 and 500, bearing 1868 per cent. in.
terest, but they arc not to bear interest
themselves. The new bonds are to be
called postal-savlngs bonds, and are not
to have coupons attached. They are
not to bear interest longer than three
years, but they are cxchangablc for reg
ular 4-per cent. bonds at par. The inter
est at the rate OF one cent a day on the
800 is to be paid quarterly in currency.
The bonds are to be convertible at the
pleasure Of the holder into grcenbaclis,
and the postal orders are to be redeema-
able on demand at any sub treasury. The
bill authorizes the secretary of the trca.
sury to issue additional grecnbacks to an
amount not exceeding s50,0O0,OOo to be
used in redeeming the postal orders and
postal bonds. The purpose of the mea-
sure is to provide a secure investment for
the small savings now deposited in say
ings banks, and at the same time taciii-
tate the substitution of the 6.per cent.
government bonds with 1 per cents.

A Campaign Slander.

When DR.. r. V. Pierce was q candidate
for State Senator, his political opponents
published a pretended analysis Of his pop
ular medicines hoping thereby to predn-
dice the people against him His election
by an over"h elming majority severely
rebuked his uraducers, who sought to i'm
peach his business integrity. No notice
would have been taken of these campaign
lies were it not that some of his enemies
(and every successful business man has
his full quota of envious rivals) are re
publishing these bogus analyses, Nu-
merous and most absurd formulas have
been published, purporting to come from
high authority and it is significant fact
that no two have been at all alike
couclusively proving the dishonesty OF
their authors.

work, he promptly replied,
There's place down town where you
can saw wood and earn your dinner, she
