large, very large nose, thin and fine; q
wide mouth, which lends itself most
| readily to q very attractive emile, deep,
straight lines bounding 1t, and good,
clear, pointed chin, with well defined, Arm
jaw, constitute the principal features that
you become aware of in looking at the
countenance, expressive in the highest
degree, of Leo XIII. As you approach
him, and kiss the em broidered cross upon
bis slipper, and the ring, almost slipping
from his bony finger, kindly interest
lights up to his eyes as he hears who you
are, what your occupation is, and how
long You have been in Rome.
Unlike Plus TX. in person, he is no less
unlike him in many other respects. Plus
TX. was an orator by nature, and was
probably the most naturally eloquent
speaker of his day Leo XIII. is more of a
writer and less of an orator appeals less
to the emotions and more to the intellect.
Plus TX. was distinguished for his thorough
good nature and genuine kind -hearteduess
Leo XIII. is remarkable for his kindly
and courteous manners, his gracious speech,
and the affectionate interest he takes 10
those with whom he comes in contact.

CATHoLICITY IN JAPAN.

"The Annals of the Propa CATION of the
Faith" for May, 1873, gives letter from
NJ. pAbbe Lemarchal, a French missionary
in Japan; describing the solemnity of the
laying of the fret stone of a new Catholic
Church at Toxic. The Vicar Apostolic,
NJ. Ozouff, who presided on the occasion,
alluded to a deplorable accident that would
be rememb bered, he said, by many then
present to have taken place five years ago,
and which had caused the death of the
Vicomte Pierre DAru, Secretary of the
mans father and mother, the Comte and
COmtese DAru, mourned the loss of their
son, and prayed for the repose of his soul,
and had formed the pious intention of rails.
ing q monument TO his memory in the
shape of the church now 60 be erected,
where prayers would still be offered for
him and for themselves, and where the
progress of the Christian religion 10 Japan
would be promoted.

Webster. in his unabridged dictionary,
says of "Lynch law" that it was the
''practice of punishiDg men for crimes, or
offences by private, unauthorized persons,
without q legal trial. The term ia said to
be derived from q Virginia farmer named

Nowadays people doubt nearly
every thing, They forget that the
known facts of to-day constituted
the knotty problems of hypothesis
but a few years since. Unsuccessful
practitioners of medicine quote the
doubts and uncertainties experience
ed by Sir Ashley Cooper, who lived
not long after Harvey discovered the
circulation Of the blood, as evidence
that but little is known of medicine
aside from conjecture, entirely ig.
noring the fact that their COMPETE
tors are daily healing diseases which
Cooper thought incurablc. Is not
such ignorance criminal? Catarrh,
the most common and most incurable
of all chronic diseases, readily yields
to the healing and soothing proper
ties Of DR.. Sages Catarrh Remedy

Douche. If the case be complicated
the blood must be enriched and pu-
rifed by DR.. ,Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. No remedy yet known
equals tile Discovery in permanent
ly curing affections Of the lungs, liv-
er, blood and skin. If afflicted with
constipation try DR., Piercc's Pleas
ant PGrgative Pellets. They are a
sure cure. DIR. Oliver Wendell
Holmes, in a late address, speaking
of our progress, said, "To those of my
generation this modern world, which
most of you take as II matter of course,
is Il perpetual source of wonder, a
standing miracle, Science and art
have SO changed the aspect of every
day life that one Of u certain age
might we'll believe himself on an
other planet. or in another stage OF
existence" No longer docs the So
dentary man or the delicate woman
suffer from torpid liver, constipation
or drastic medicine. Science has
demonstrated that the concentrated
extracts are more potentand reliable
than the huge doses resortod to by
our fore.fathors, hence the great sale
and popularity of DR.. Pierce's Pleas

scarcely larger than mustard seeds,

Never before in the history Of the
government did Il national admins
tration occupy the precarious posi-
tion in which we find President
Hayes. Other Presidents have been
weak, some have been apostates,
and unpopular governments have
not been uncommon during the last
half century; but Hayes is the first
Executive who has ever presented
the singular spectacle of an utterly
friendless and apparently hopeless
administration. Tyler had q party,
Fillmore had a party and johnson
had party, but Hayes has none,
And he had made himself powerless
by his own imbecillity or faithless-
ness. lie had taught the nation to
trust him. His honest deliyerances
made in the campaign were received
with the usual latitude that is ac'
corded to candidates for popular f.
vor, but when he had reached the
prize of the Presidency, and then
made himself instant in and out Of
season TO affirm his campaign pledg-
os by the most unequivocal utteran-
ces, the nation closed its eyes to his
blotted title and accepted him as
the apostle of civil regeneration and
LASTING peace. His Cabinet was con-
vincing proof to the world that he
had taken bold patriotic departure
in favor Of the right, and that the
ornamental pledges Of his party in
conventions and on the stump, were
to be zealously fulfilled. II cost him
much of the favor of those who had,
by arrogant and corrupt leadership,
brought Republicansim to actual de-
feat, but he appeared TO have count
ed the loss and rested his faith in
the integrity and considerate judg.
ment of the American people. 1t
was a step that, when once taken,
could not be retraced save in hope
less dishonor, and the country was
inspired with renewed hopes Of hon
est government,-1imcs.
