Rome, March 4.-Pope Leo XIII was
crowned in Sistine Chapel last Sunday;
the ceremony commenced in the morn
ing and terminated at 1:30 in the after
noon. Cardinals, prelates and diplo-
matists who are accredited to the Vat
lean and few other persons were pres
ent. The Pope was afterwards carried
to his apartments, blessing spectators
on the way. A few houses were illu-
minated. The Opinione reports that
the council of state, in response to the
question of Signor Crispi, president of
the Chamber of Deputies, as to wheth-
er the Italian government had the right
to modify papal guarantees, has rem
dered the decision that the law of papal
guarantees possessed a constitutions

FOREIGN.


New York, March 4.-The Russo
Turkish peace is an accomplished fact.
Its terms preclude British armed inter-
vention, and the danger seems past.
Whether the European conference will
be held is still an open question.
France strongly opposes it. Germany
has no necessity for it, and is unoffi-
cially and quietly endeavoring to so
mediate with Russia and Austria that
the latter would have nothing left to
confer about. This would leave Eng
land alone to be appeased, as the
powers can hardly discuss anything in
conference except questions directly
affecting their own interests. Now
that Turkey has sealed peace it is diff
cult to see what England can success
fully demand which Russia won't grant
without the conference.

Chicauo Cattle Market.

Receipts during the past week were
1880 head and shipments II 81 head.
No perceptible improvement can be
said to have developed in this market
during the past week, so far as the SELL
ing interest was concerned. \ contin-
ued dullness characterized the market
throughout, and, Notwithstanding the
decreased supply, receivers were unable
to maintain prices even at the previous
reduction. Markets at the last showed
similar depression to that exhibited
by this, and seldom has so unsatis-
factory q condition of trade throughout
the country existed as during the past
two weeks; and this state of affairs is
rendered more than discouraging by
the absence of any indications pointing
to an Improvement in the immediate
future, The general supposition seems
to be that supplies for some time to
come will so far exceed the demand as
to keep prices down to about the pres
ent range

Why does he say l ''strangely con-

have been altogether in The readers

one thought that translator, minister
and friend, meant one and the same
thing. But how else make this con-
fusion. This reminds me though,
that thousands of people make as
great mistakes as this, in confound~
ing the meaning Of the words sprin-
5kle, pour and dip. Now in my hum
bic opinion, these three words, as
we'll as the three mentioned above,
each and all havesa special and spe-
cific meaning of it's own. To give
such a protusion of meanings to our
words as some do, would render it
ipsufficient to give evidence in coart2
Suppose we take the words faith,
love and belief, and add to them a
great profusion of meanings, what
would become of the Scriptures, and
why claim some few words have 80
many meanings and others only one.
