Rayard Taylor ~rndergOes n e
rgfc Operation.

NEW YORK, October 70.
The Herald's Berlin correspondent says:
Rayard TAYLOR has just undergone a severe
surgical operation, but he is believed to be
in a fair way for recovery. Taylor was
seriously indisposed last week, and it was
not until after several days of treatment
for the wrong malady that his physician
discovered the dangerous nature Of his dis
ease. 1t was found that he was afflicted
with dropsy. which had already affected
the kidneys and liver. After a long medi-
cal consultation, il was decided that a sur
gical operation would have to be Tesorted
to. To this Taylor Willingly assented, and
the operation resulted in the extraction Of
ii litres of water, and convalescence pro-
crosses favorably. Professor Willms, the
eminent German surgeon, hopes that Tay-
lor will rise from his bed on Thursday
next. A general sympathy is expressed for
the American Minister, who already has
become a universal favorite.

A Delicate Situation.

A Richmond eva. Telegram narrates
the following adventure: In palatial
brown-stone front on Church Hill; a
fashionable locality, lives Mr.. G. B. N.
Smith, and with him lives his wife and
two charming daughters, the latter aged
respectively II and IS. Last night
at late hour Mrs. Smith went into the
bedchamber of the two girls to see that
they were resting well. To her horror
she beheld in bed, lying fast asleep be-
tween the maids, a stranger-a red-faced
man. 0 She trippeds hurriedly back to
her husband So rooms and whispered of
the awful scene. He jumped up and
ran into his daughters room, where he
saw that his wife's statement was true.
He rushed out for policeman. Officer.
ralman happened to be passing'at the
time The two men ran into the, house
and made for the abed-chamber. All
this time the strange man and the two
girls were asleep. The officer&jostled
the villain out.of bed, and the girls were
aroused. First one screamed out, and
then the other, and they finally all
shrieked out together, and the girls faint
ed. The strange man was half tight,
and seemed much embarrassed. The
policeman made him dress, and march
ed him to the station-house. This morn
ing the prisoner was before the police
justice, and explained he was passing
the fine house described above, and took
it to be clearinghouse. He was half
drunk and wanted a warm place in
which to sleep. He found the door un
fastened and got in the ladies' room.
He said the two parties in bed he
thought to be men. He turned out the
gas, undressed, and crawled in. He
gave his name as Charles Kelley from
Ohio. The Court gave him six months
in jail. I'D. ts =. 49,.

The New POntiff.

A Rome correspondent of the London
Times, in a letter to that journal dated
Feb. 14th, spoke as follows OF Cardinal
Pecci, since elected Pope: 80
Pecci has fine head, high forehead,
narrowing at the temples, long face and
straight features; he has large mouth,
large chin, cheerful open. countenance,
large and well shaped ears. His face
reminds one of Consulvi, renowned min
lister of Plus VII. He has fine, sonor-
Gus voice; great dignity, even austerity
of manners in public life, but privately
is affectionate, unassuming and witty.
He has been the head of that party
which, without formally renouncing the
right of the Holy See, acknowledges the
wisdom of submitting to the DEGREES OF
Providence, accepting what seems to be
irrevocably accomplished facts. The
general opinion is that for, learning,
tact, energy, dignity, amicability, real
moral worth and sincere. piety, the Sa-
cred College could not find a more de-
serving Pope than Cardinal Pecci.
At Perugia he followed the same
policy recommended by the late
Cardinal Riaris Sforza at Naples. He
advised good Catholics to fulfill their
duties as citizens at the municipal and
provincial elections, even when the cler-
ical press, protesting to interpret much
of the Vatican, enjoined the policy of
Cardinal Pecoi spoke with
great effect against the proposal for the
removal of the Conclave from Rome,
and other measures advocated BY the
party. He enjoys the con-
fidence and support of the Liberals, or
at least reasonable majority of them
of the Sacred College, and plays the
same part as was sustained by Cardinal
Gizz in the Conclave of 1876. Cardinal
Pecci's private life at ali periods is
above reproach. He has considerable
literary talent. and has written poetry.
He has never had intercourse with func-
Of the present Italian Govern
ment, but is esteemed by them all, and
those with whom the necessity of his
duty brings him into contact are per-
fectly charmed.

IMMEDIATELY after the return of the Rus

tablishment will be reorganized and reformed.
The battalons of the infantry regiments,
hitherto from 800 to 1000 men each, ARE to be
raised to 1900, and every cavalry regiment to
be increased by two squadrons. These alter
ations will add fully $4,000 combatants to
the army. The reserve cadres are to be kept
under arms in time of peace, thereby adding
25O,O00 men ready to take the field at once.
The yearly contingent of recruits is to be in
creased by 10000. The artillery is to be re.
armed with superior guns. The period of
military service is to be reduced to three
years. "These changes" the Inpalide Russe
declares, "will lead to brilliant results, for,
in two years, we shall be able to produce an

The BDDEFoRD UNION AND JOURNAL
has not yet fairlyroused from the lethargy into
which it fell last spring. Even the election
of two Greenback congressman in Maine,
over opposing Republican candidates has not
taught it that there is an issue on the finan-
cial question between the Republican party
and its opponents. The Union is still sleep-
ly rubbing its eyes and fretfully asking what
all this noise ever the money question is
about. 1t HASN'T got its eyes wide enough
open yet TO see any Greenbackers, and so
concludes there are none. 1t even takes the
PRESS to task for saying that there is still a
Greenback movement. Considering that the
Greenbackers chose three Congressmen at
the October elections, aud threw 10000 votes
in Iowa, $4,000 in Indiana, and $4,000 in
Ohio, there is good reason for believing they
are not all dead.

THERE has indeed been wonderful change
in the administration OF italian affairs, if the
statement made by the President of the
Council-that there are sixty millions in the
treasury, of which one.third is available to
reduce taxation-is true. Since the estab.
lishment of the kingdom annual deficits have
been the rule, despite the constantly increas-
ing revenues. Nevertheless, it must be said
that since 1871 the deficits have been steadi-
ly growing less, until they have fallen from
261, 100000 lire in 1871 to 65,000,OO0 In 1877.
This year It is plain there will be surplus
for the first time in the history Of the king
dom. The debt is just about the
same as that OF the United States, and if it
can be carried in times like these, it does not
seem absolutely impossible for the Land of
Song to get out of debt at some time in the
distant future.
