Pope Leo XIII.

The accession of Cardinal Pecci to
the "Chair of Peter" is hailed with
manifest satisfaction by his subjects
This satisfaction is based exclusively, of
course, upon his reputation as prelate
and his personal qualities as man.
While opinions appear to differ concern
ing his probable course in relation to
the vexed question of the temporal
power, criticism, Protestant and Catho-
lie, is unanimous in praise of his ability,
his courtliness of address, and dignity of
character. If his assumption of the
name OF Leo XIII. may be accepted as
the key to the principles by which his
administration is to be motived, the aus
pieces under which his reign begins may
eliminate in record of splendid service
to art, civilization, and humanity, for
which the office of pope affords perhaps
greater opportunities than that of any
other crowned ruler.
Indeed, in appearance. in characteris-
tics and in tastes Leo XIII. at once sug-
gests Leo XII. This one is 6S; Leo
XII. was Ga when installed. The lat
ter, though greatly worn by sickness,
possessed the suavity of address which
has been SO much observed in Cardinal
Pecci. Like him, Leo XII. was of I'M
usua! stature. of fine, frank countenance.
If the administration of the Pope-e elect
repeats the spirit of Leo XII. s, his
memory will be ardently cherished. The
twelfth Leo reformed the affairs of his
Government with enlightened energy.
Material improvements - draining,
bridges, roads, tunnels, etc.-received
his personal attention. He compelled
the exercise of rigid economy in the use
of public money while applying the
proceeds of taxation, which he reduced
to the material and educational interests
of the people. He reorganized the uni
versities, created a new congregation to
look after the schools OF the country, en-.
larged the art collections by extensive
purchases, restored more than one
basilica, aud found time to examine the
Index" One of the results of his in
spection was az order to remove from
the Ii st of condemned volumes the
works of Calico. His interest IL edu-
cation, in organized benevolence, and in
the active propagation of religion in its
kindest and most useful forms, are
themes upon which historians of the
Papacy delight to enlarge. Chicago

to !" added he, looking over his shoulder
at his astonished little sister.
And away they went, down stairs, out
of the house, and at full speed towards
the neighbours where mamma was Mt
work. 1t was lucky it was not far, for the
children were heated and tired to that de.
gree when they got there that they were
nearly crazy. Bare-headed, covered
with dust, and dripping with sweat,
they were sight to see when they burst
in where their mother was.
"Why, what under the sun" began
Mrs. Andrews, but Johnny held up
familiar form, caught it, glanced once or
twice through it and then sank down her
head upon the table and cried in thank
fulness, very much as the smaller woman
had done an hour ago over the recovery
of her doli-things.
1t was happy three that-hand
clasped in hand-went home to the little
cottage that night. Mamma, with the
cold, heavy weight rolled of her heart,
was brave and CHEEKY, and the children
full of merry chatter.
There was land enough with the home
cottage for nice garden, and to raise
the supply of potatoes and vegetables
for winter; and, when Johnny grew big
enough to work 1t, the Andrews were
prosperous indeed. Johnny grew up o
bright, good boy, and little Minnie was
a great comfort to her mother in every
way. And the happy mother always re-
members and teaches the children to
thank God for what Johnny found. -

Jolly PrincetOnians.

A Freshman revealed the state of So
ciety at Princeton by his reply. when
asked why he carried arms, "Why, L
don't carry anything but revolver. L
had knife, but lent that to fellow who
hadn't any pistol" William n. Strong,
son of United States Supreme Court
Judge Strong, is Princeton Freshman.
His room was visited by Sophomores
some weeks ago, but he escaped at the
risk OF his neck. He next day bought
an immense bulldog, in addition to q
revolver, and was ready for another call.
Tuesday evening, just berfore After
bury's shooting, a squad of Sophomores
reached his room. Strong unclaimed
his dog, cooked his revolver, opened the
door, and asked the Sophomoresin. He
was not hazed. That is the nice way in
which the students live at Princeton.

1t is runored from st. Petersburg
that the Gar is seriously indisposed-
weak and SO thin that he sits on pillows
and soft cushions to prevent the bones
from coming through the skin. He is
said to be depressed also with pre-
sentiment of his approaching death. No
Romanoff has lived beyond go years, and
he will be 60 in April. When his sister
died, some two years ago, she reminded
him of this and told him he must be
prepared to go before he was 60. They
say that her words made great i'm
preston upon him then, and now that
he is not well, they constantly recur to
him. Chicago Tribune.

An Indian War Feared.

At the War Department there is fear
that when spring opens there will be
another general Indian war with the
Sioux. Several hundred lodges have
left the Spotted Tail and Red Cloud
agencies, and are now roaming in
Northern Dakota, where it is expected
they will be joined by Sitting Bull in the
spring, or at least part of his band
The expedition now putting out at Fort
Laramie by Gen. Crook is intended
to anticipate any invasion of the Black
Hills country, and will leave at once to
strike these roaming bands from the
agencies before the snow is off the
ground and the grass HAS grown sufii-
GENTLY for the Indians to fatten their
ponies. Washington Cor. Chicago In

New Treatment OF Diphtheria.

DIR. E. N. Chapman, of Brooklyn, n.
Y, in the Scientific American, claims
great success in the treatment of diph-
liberia with quinine and whisky. He
claims that it neutralizes the diphtheritic
poison and destroys the membrane. He
cites numerous Cases TO prove his posi-
tion. He claims that any local APP
plications are worse than useless. He
gives it in large doses and begins early
in the formative stage of the disease. If,
as he suggests, it is as much a specific
as quinine for intermittent, it is valu-
able discovery.

A Model Workshop.

An admirable economy seems to pre-
vail at Krupp's town of Essen. Every
workman is in sense partner, because
outside of his wages sum accrues, and
is put aside for him, according to the
profits of the shop in which he works.
At the end of sixteen years it would usu-
ally yield as much per week as his wages.

The New York Postmaster Sued for
Using Patent.

In the postoffice in this city, as in
most others throughout the country, the
canceling OF the stamps on letters and
the printing of the postmarks is done
simultaneously. The cork to cancel the
stamp and the die TO make the post
marks are fixed side by side on n wood
en- handle, so that both can be- used to-
gether. For the use of this simple in
strument in this single Office $3.50, 900 is
demanded, and Postmaster James has
been sued for that sum. United States
District Attorney Woodford says that at
least 81, 900, 600 is involved in the case,
because the double stamp is generally
used in the post Al service, aud an action
may be instituted against every post
master .-NeU York Sun.
