ton antiquities to the present day.
They have grown from 40 far back as
reliable history dates. The antiquities
OF Egypt are prehistoric, belonging to
q bygone world. There is no reason
for the belief that the originals Of those
half.uaked figures engraved on those
antiquities were not as much civilized
as people nowadays. Railroads, tele'
graphs, stovepipe hats and bus.les' re-
sumption and repeal Of resumption
acts, were, perhaps, antiquities with
them. They knew how to live happy
without some of those relics Of q bar

With regard to said challenge, be it known
that il was fairly accepted but there the mat

attention WAS paid to his haunting challenge,
but on q certain occasion, about six months
ago, Rev. Father Quito, the zealous pastor of
Brook haven, Miles,, pledged himself that some
body would meet the great champion Of the
Bsptista of the South.
The good and esteemed Father informed the
learned Redemptorist of Chatawa, Rev. T. En-
right of his promise: "Since you rely upon
me-" was the reply; II will not fail yoo." And
be did rot fail. immediately Father EnriRht
proceeded to Brookhaven, there to meet Mr..
Graves on his own vantage ground. Every
thing was now ready for lively debate. Both

what was the blank astonishment OF all,
when, after such an unusual flourish of trum-
pets, Mr. Graves, instead of boldly stepping
forth into the arena to break q lance with his
learned opponent, quietly dropped note to

Death of the King of Italy.


The King of Italy died at 2;3O this
afternoon. In the afternoon the sacra-
ments were administered to King Vic
tor Emmanuel. The King then sum-
moned Prince Humbert, the heir ap-
parent, and his wife, Princess Mar
suerita, to his bedside, with whom he
conversed few moments.
1t is stated that King Victor Emman-
uel confessed to Mgr. Fruorenalli, sa-
cristan of the apostolic palace, who
was sent to him by the Pope. He was
also visited by Mgr. Cenni, the Pope's
domestic prelate. The Austrian AM
bassador was present with Prince Hum
bert, the Princess Marguerita, and
State dignitaries when the King re-
ceived the communion of extreme unc-
ton from his chaplain, Amino. To-
ward 2:30 p. m. the oppression under
which the King labored increased, and
he was caused to inhale oxygen, which
seemed to give him little strength.
He saluted those present, bending his
head twice, and then, signing deeply,
expired.
The two prelates who were sent TO
the Quirinal by the Pope brought the
papal benediction. 1t is said the Pope
would have gone himself to administer
the sacrament but for his infirmity.
The diplomatists, on being informed
of the death of the King and Prince
Humbert's accession, proceeded to the
Quirinal Immediately to condole. The
newspapers appear in black, and re-
mind their readers that Victor Emman-
uers life was dedicated to the greatness
and happiness of Italy. News of his
death soon spread through the city and
caused emotion among the people. All
the shops were closed.
Prince Humbert was proclaimed King
of Italy He confirmed the present
Ministers in their posts.
The disease of which Victor Emman-
uel died was malarial fever, and was a
repetition of that which struck him
down in 1860.
ROME Jan. 10.
Prince Amadeus, the late Kings sec
ond son, and the Prince of Carignano
this morning went with King Humbert
to the chamber where the body of King
Victor Emmanuel lay and remained
there twenty minutes. Queen Margue'
rita then entered the room to pay the
last salute to the remains of the de,
ceased monarch. All the sovereigns OF
Europe and President MacMahon, OF
France, have sent kilograms to King
Humbert, expressing terms of affections
ate sympathy. The body of the late
King has been embalmed and will liz
in state at the Quirinal on Friday, Sat
urday and Sunday.

atiOn should be attempted on subjects of vital

lation should be attempted on subjects OF vital
consequence.
l am especially soIcitous that something
shall be done in this direction 10 provide
against the evils of our present system VI
municipal government. Our cities are becom-
ing more and more every day great centers Of
social commercial and political influence, and
as they continue to grow I'm power and i'm
portance the problem Of their proper govern
ment challenges the gravest consideration of
the most enlightened dstatesmenship. And not
the least difficult feature of this problem is
how TO reach the best results without endan-
gering the right of self-govcrnment. This, |
believe, should be faithfully guarded, for no
other benefit, however valuable, could possi
bly, compensate for any material loss Of this
right.
In concluding these brief suggestions,
wish to urge upon you the importance Of
making your session a short one. Go to work
in earnest; give close and constant attention
to the matters with which you are intrusted;
work faithfully for the best interests Of your
State and country; pass such laws as are nee
essary, and avoid all superfluous legislation; I;
let all you do be characterized by wisdom and
prudence, and when you have accomplished
your work you can go home to your constitu-
ents, who will honor you for your faithfulness
aud reward you for the manner in which you
have maintained their best interests.
And now have only to add that desire 10
express my sincere thanks to the people Of the
State for the distinguished honor they have
conferred upon me in calling me to that high
and important Office the responsible duties Of
which I this day assume.
Believing as do in your patriotism, and as
sured as l am that I shall have the hearty CO.
operation of your body in all my efforts to
promote good government, and trusting to
the guidance of an all-wise and beneficent
Providence, | enter upon my work, not with
out hope that our mutual labors may result
