The day before his death Victor
Emanuel gained q lawsuit in which he
was much interested. His adversary
was an Englishman, formerly clergy
man of the establishment, but resident
over thirty years in Rome, and long one
of the papai chamberlains. He received
A title from the pope, and is now styled
Count Campbell Smith d'Heritza, This
gentleman purchased from the late
Cardinal Riario Sforza property called
the Villa Sciarra, and the neighboring
villa, called Villa Potenziana, was
bought by Victor Emanuel shortly after
1870. His majesty also purchased up
the lands of the Irish college, and all the
neighboring properties whenever the
chance offered, and of the entire made
beautiful country estate, adorned with
artificial lakes, splendid roads, and plan
tations. He also built 4 magnificent
palace and furnished it with grea'
luxury. But bis neighbor Coun
dHeritz, could not be bought out, and
moreover, claimed right of way to
himself and servants through the roya
grounds. In fact, the ancient Via Salar'
fay through the villa OF the count ant
that of the king, and along this ancien
Roman road the occupiers OF the adjoin
ing farms had right to pass - far e tn
bridge over the Anio, called the Pont
Salario. The king made short work o
the counts right Of passage, for he ordel

the count before the criminal court, an
had him fined for trespass. There VI

here also the king triumphed, and Il
count was defeated, his witnesses NJ

Sap Hearley is a colored boy about ~
years of age, employed by Mr.. E. 81.
Welsh in the Little building on Balti-
more street. He is also engaged to at-
tend to the furnace connected with the
building. Yesterday morning, about 8
o'clock, while repairing the fire, he con.
cluded to step inside the furnace and
warm his hands At the fire that was st
the end opposite the door. He had
hardly entered the furnace before VIC
lent gust of wind blowing through the
room dashed the iron door shut with q
hideous bang, and fastened the poor boy
in what seemed sure and horrible grave,
for the flames were springing up rapidly,
The closing Of the furnace door opened

THE ANIMAL WORLD.
A Cunning Rnse-Sagacious Horse In
heritod Qualities Ia Dogs.


herited Qualities ia Dogs.
| REASON IN A CAT.
Ia a New Hampshire town family
had two cats. A storeroom of their
house, at the time we speak of, had ears
of corn on one of its shelves, some Of
which hung down against the side of the
room. The owner of .ae house saw, one
day, one of his cats, which we will call
number one, standing upon the steps of
ladder, near the suspended ears, watch
ing them sharply. After time the cat
came down the ladder, went out of the
room, and returned . while after with
the other cat, which we will call number
two, and which took its oosition under
the suspended ears. Number one then
went up the ladder, stopped again oPpo-
site the suspended ears, and. after lit
tie careful observation, sprang from the
ladder upon them, when rat dropped
from the ears to the floor, to be caught
by number two, there waiting for it!
sAsACrry AND CARE ON THE PART OF A
HORSE.
In a neighboring city is spirited
horse which ordinarily requires . firm
rein to be held by its rider. OF late .
son of its owner has been quite sick; but
he has 80 far recovered as to be able now
to ride on horseback. With him, now,
the horse is another creature. 1t stands
quietly and patiently for him to get on
and off its back; walks about with him
gently, as if aware Of his weakness, and
"A it never did before with him or with
other riders. Is there any other explain
alton of this than sympathy, born OF Oh
servation and reason?
INHERITED QUALITIES.
Animals commonly inherit the ac-
uuired habits of their parents, but this
regularity exists in the dog to an as
tonishing extent. A dog, for instance,
was taught to BIZ; a puppy taken from
her at six weeks old had no instruction,
and vet when seven or eight months old,
it spontaneously took to begging; beg
ging for its meat. begging to be let out
Of the room; and one day it was seen
near the rabbit hutch begging for the
rabbits! Hereditary propensities have
also been observed in other instances.
A terrier, whose parents have been in
the habit of fighting with polecats, has
instantly shown evs6y marx of anger on
gaining the very first scent of those
animals, though the object was entirely
concealed. A young spaniel, on the
other hand, was unmoved by the scent
of the polecat; but it gave chase to the
first woodcock it beheld with clamor
and exultation.
M. Magendie, hearing of race Of dogs
in England who brought by natural in
stinct to sportsmen the game as it was
shot, obtained two adult retrievers;
these soon produced female, which,
always under his own inspection, and
receiving no instruction, stopped and
brought game back from the very first
day it was led into the field, and tnat
with q steadiness fully equaling thi.
quality in those whom N. Magendie had
known to be reared under the stern dis
cipline of the whip and collalr.-Dog'

Mr.. GEORGE H. BOXER, ex.minister

LONDON intends to do away with her
steam fire engines and hereafter depend
on high pressure hydrants in case of fire.
The trouble with London fire engines is
that they seldom get around to the fire
before it is burned out, and they thus
lose a good deal of fun, which has rather
trying effect on the temper OF the fire.

THE electoral college of cardinals to

ings from the electoral college which
elects our president. In the former, if
the members do not agree in three days,
their rcpast is limited to single dish,
and if they continue for five more days
without agreement, they get only bread
and wine; while with our political
electoral college the longer the member
are at the buriness the more they visit
the lunch counter and the more stimulus

THE PRESIDENCY CLAIMED As A
RIGHT.

The following was cut from the
correspondence of the Cincinnati
Commercial some weeks ago and
laid aside to await our convenience.
1t is part of a long article to the
same effect, containing Mr.. Bar
NUNS advocacy, or rather demand
of Mr.. Tilden's nomination for the
Presidency, at the next National
Democratic Convention
Mr.. Barnum believes that the in
herent love of Justice in the Ameri-
can people will cause them to rally
to the Tilden standard if it be again
raised, and conduct the victim of
the compromise scheme of Mr..
Hewitt and Senator Edmunds in
triumph to the White House. Mr..
Tilden will enter actively in the
canvass for the nomination with
the confidence of one who demands
it as a right.
We will only say, in answer to
the Connecticut Senator, that Mr..
Tilden has no more chance for the
next Democratic nomination than
the editor of the GAINESVILLE CHRoN-
ICLE. The questions now at issue
are not those which were fought out
in 1876; they are those which in an
other column we have classified I'M
der the heads of restriction and en-
pansioaa, and, in reference to these,
Mr.. Tilden is as plainly on the
wrong side as Mr.. Hayes himself.
But if he were all right on other
points no man could get nOmina-
ton for the Presidency at our hands
who claims 1t as q right.

RESTRICTION AND EXPANSION.

1t cannot be too soon recognized
by both politicians and people that
there are no party questions now in
existence except those which relate
to the business of the nation, and
every attempt to get up acrimonious
and sensational topics of debate on
by-gone irritating issues is trifiing
with the real interests of the people
that ought to be promptly rebuked,
and will, we believe, be rebuked, if
no where else, at the ballot. We
repeat that our party questions are
business questions, and, multifari-
GUS as they are, there is a unity of
principle running through them all
such as enables very simple CLASH
ficatiOn of them a very simple line
of divergence, and that principle is
expressed by the two words at the
head of this article restriction and
expansion. Restriction has been
the policy of the lost twenty years
in commerce, in navigation, in cur
rency, and expansion is what is now
imperafiyely demanded in all three.
These reflections have been forced
upon us by the study of a mastery
