The Pope Elected.

Cardinal Gioachimo Pecci, Pontifcal
Camerlengo, has been elected Pope. Car
dinal Pecci is an italian. He assumes the
title of Leo XIII.
The new Pope is thus described:
Pecci is tall, with a fine head, high fore
head, narrowing at the temples, a long face,
and straight features.
He has q large mouth, prominent chin,
cheerful open countenance, and large, well
shaped ears. His face reminds one of
Consuloi, the renowned Minister of Piu,
VII.
He has q fine sonorous voice, great dignity,
even q !, sterity of name S N public life,
but privately is affectionate, ~unassuming,
sociable, and witty.
As Camerlengo he has been 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 gen.
eral opinion is that for learning, tact, en-
ergy, dignity, amiability, real mora worth,
and sincere piety the Sacred College could
not find a more deserving Pope than Cardi-
nal Pecci.
At Perugia he followed the same policy
recommended by the late Cardinal Riario
Sporza at Naples. He advised good
Catholics to fulfill their duties as citizens
at municipal a d provincial elections, even
when the clerical press, protesting to inter-
pref much Of the Vatica,, he enjoined the
policy of abstention. Cardinal Pecci spoke
with great effect against the proposal for the
removal of the conclave from Rome, and
other measures advocated by the reactionary
party. He enjoys the confidence and sup
port of the Liberals, or atleast a reasonable
minority of them, of the Sacred College,
and plays the same part he was sustained in
by Cardinal Gizzi in the conclave of 1916.
Cardinal Pecci's private life at all periods
is above reproach. He has considerable
literary talen', and has written poetry. He
never has had interc urse with the functi n
aries of the present Italian Government,
but is esteemed by them all, and those with
whom the necessity of his duty brings him
into contact are perfectly charmed with
him.
The circumstances of election are as fol-
lows: At the mornings ballot Cardinal
Pecci received thirty-six votes, which was
five short of the requisite two-thirds ma
iority. When the voGing wa finished, and
the papers were burned, Cardinal Franchi
and those holding the same views with him
edva ced and knelt before Cardinal Pecci.
This example being followed by others,
Cardinal Peccis electi n was accomplished
by the method known as "by alteration"
Count Segur Immediately informed the
Pope that he purposed to present him with
1,0O0,000 francs as the first donation of
Peters pence from the French Episcopate.
As soon as the result of the election be-
csme known, the bells in all the churches of
Rome were rung, and the diplomates went
to the Vatican to congratulate the new
Pope.

Romantic Accidental Discoveries.

~
Many of eur most important inven-
tions and discoveries owe their origin to
the most trivial circumstances; from
the simplest causes the most important
effects have ensued. The trials of two
robbers before the Court of Assizes of
the Basses-Pyrenees accidentally ledto a
most interesting archaeological discov-
cry. The accused, Rivas, a shoemaker,
and Belier, a weaver, by armed attacks
ON the highways and frequent burglar
les, had spread terror around the neigh
borhood of Sisteron. The evideI ce
against them was clear. but no traces
could be obtained of the plumber, until
one of the men gave a clue to the mys-
terry. Rivas, in his youth, had been a
shepherd boy near that place, and knew
the legend of the Hole of Silver, a cavern
on one of the mountains with sides so pre-
cipitous as to be almost inaccessible, and
which no one was ever known to have
reached. The Commissary of Police,
after extraordinary labor, succeeded in
scaling the mountain, and penetrated
to the mysterious grotto, where he dis
covered an enormous amount of plumber
of every description. The way having
been once found, the vast cavern was
afterwards explored bysavans, and their
re. earches brought to light a number of
Roman medals of the third century.
flint hatchets, ~ornamented pottery, and
| the remains of ruminants Of enormous
size. These interesting discoveries, how
ever, obtained no indulgence for the
noa,oal rhn rrara capfanoad sfo fu,anfu
years hard labor. The discovery of gold
in Nevada was made by Mormon 1mmi-
grants in 1850. Adventures crossed the
Sierras and set up their sluice boxes in
the canyons; but it was gold they were
after, and they never suspected the
existence of silver, nor knew it when
they saw it. The blush stuff which was
so abundant, and which was silver ore,
interfered with their operations and
gave them the greatest annoyance. Two
brothers named Grosch possessed more
intelligence than their fellow-workers,
and were the real discoveries of the
Comstock lode; but n of them died
from a pickax wound in the foot, and
the other was frozen to death in the
mountains. Their secret died with them.
When at last, in the early part of 1859,
the surface groupings of the lode were
found, they were worked for the gold
they contained, and the silver was
thrown out as being worthless. Yet this
lode since 1860 has yielded large pro
portion of all the silver produced through.
out the world. The silver mines Of
Potosi were discovered through the
trivial circumstance of an Indian &C.
cidentally pulling up a shrub, to the
roots of which were attached some par.
ticles of the precious metal.

THIS is one of the latest stories about
the Pope: "Not long after the Pope's
return to Rome, in 1850, a beautiful
young English lady was out sketching
with a maid near the Porta Pia. The
Pope came out in his carriage, de-
,scended, and began to take his usual
walk. The maid having gone to ask his
blessing, returned to say that His Holt
ness would gladly give his hand to
be kissed to her young Eng
lish mistress. Indeed, said that
lady, with a toss of her heretical
head, i think my hand better worth
kissing than his.l The Pope, who had
approached unseen, and overheard this
speech, laughed gently, and said, to
her great confusion, THAT is perfectly
true; but you will allow an old man to
bless you, nevertheless

The Crisis.


What think you would be the result If the
earth should stop spinning around the sun?
Were you ever near q arge and intricate
machine when one of its wheels became
clogged or broken, near enough to hear the
grating, jarring clash, the sudden, deafening
crash? Astronomers assure us that pre-
cisely similar effects, only on an inconceiv-
ably grander scale, would be produced if
our earth--one OF the wheels in the universe
machine--should suddenly cease its revolu-
tions. In other words, there would be a gen.
eral clash and crash of satellites, planets,
and systems. What we term financial crises
are due 70 similar causes. One of the wheels
in the finance machine becomes clogged,
perhaps shattered. The terrible Wall street
"crash which follows is communicated to
every part of the financial mechanism of
the country. But a~nalogies do not stop
here. There is that other mechanism, the
most intricate If all-sometimes cal ed an
organism because it generates its own forces
the human machine. When one of its
members fails to perform its Office, the whole
system is thrown into dis rider. Members
before considered unassailable, break down
under the unnatural pressure. The shock
comes, and utter prostration is the result.
Reparatlon can only be effected by the res.
~toration of the impaired parts, and the re-
adjustment of its levers-the physical forces.
There is one part of the machine more liable
to disorder than any other, the liver, the
great balance-wheel of the machine.
Thu liver being the great depurating or
blood-cleansing organ of the system, set it
at work and the foul ~corruptions which
gender in the blood, and rot out, as il were,
the machinery of life, are gradually expelled
from the sys'em. For this purpose, DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, used
daily, and DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Purgatiye
Pellets, taken in very small doses, are pre-.
%eminently the articles needed. They cure
every kind of humor from the worst scrofula
to the common pimple, blotch, or eruption.
Great eating ulcers kindly heal under their
mighty curative influence. Virulent blood
poisons that Turk in the system are by them
robbed of their ~terrors, and by their per.
severing and somewhat protracted use the
most tainted systems may be completely
renovated and built up anew. Enlarged
glands, tumors and swellings dwindle away
and disappear under the influence of these
great resolvents.
