Rene, March THE Ministers OF Rome
have failed to come to an agreement with
the various discordant parliamentary
groups. The government is likely to be
defeated in the election of President for
the Chamber of Deputies The result will
probably be a dissolution of the Chamber
and new general election. The address
from the throne on the opening OF Parlia-
ment will promise electoral reforms and a
reduction OF taxes on salt. With regard to
the papacy the address will be entirely re-
spectful but will affirm more distinctly
than ever the uni6cation of Italy with
Rome as its capital. 1t will likewise reply
to the circular of the Cardinals Of February
10Th, and to the attitude of the vatican.
The circular card referred to, renewed the
protest against Italian usurpation. Signor
Crispe, Minister of the interior, has resign

An .nhuman Trick or Deliberate
attempt at Murder.

A somewhat remarkable incident trans
pired between Stranger and Hoge last
Sunday night, the principal actors in which
were q young man named Butts, his COM
panion, George Stutsman and couple Of
strangers whose names have not been ascer-
tanned Butts is from Williamsport, Pa,
and was on his way to Lawrence to find his
uncle, George Robash, who is said to live
somewhere near that city. Last Sunday
night, in company with Stutsman, he
camped out near Stranger, and after build
ing fire, both men fell asleep. According
to Butts story, he was awakened about
midnight by sharp singing, pain, and, to
his horror, found himself in flames,
LITERALLY ROASTING ALIVE.
Before he could extinguish the fiie he
was so badly burned that the flesh almost
sropptd from his bones in places, and the
pain was so intense as to render him hall
insane He says that about eleven O'Clock
two men, strangers TO him, came up and
asked permission to sleep by the fire.
About an hour later he awoke, TO hnd the
fired heaped upon him, and his companions
gone. Both hands, his left foot and leg, and
left side and the left side of his face were
horribly charred, the fire inHicting wounds
which will leave

ROME, March 6.-The Pope, in receiving
the parish priests, to-day, recommended
them to preach Jesus Christ, His life and
teachings, and to guard their focks against
the infdelity and immortality so generally
prevailihg-the result Of corrupt press
The Pope, in all his exhortations, avoids
mention of the Virgin, with the purpose of
discountenancing mariology, which his
predecessor so long encouraged. 1t has
shocked most people hat the Pore, in his
coronation speech, made no allusion to the
late Plus, although Cardinal Dipetro, in ad-
dressing the Pontiff, had been eloquent in
his praise of the deceased Pope The omis-
sion could not, therefore, have been accident
al, and has been variously commented upon.
The Pope and Cardinal Frauchar, have de-
termined on policy Of reconciling, as far as
possible, the interests Of the Church and
State in the questions pending with the vari-
Gus governments.

THE NEW SILVER DOLLAR.

chase os silver Bullion af Present
The Secretary Of the Interior Asks
for an Appropriation of $1,000 for
the Protection OF n Park nj the
Mouth Of the Yell0Ssssone River.
WASHINGTON, March AFTER full con-
sidsration and consultation with members
of both Houses of Congress, the Secretary of
the Treasury has determined that the FIRST
silver dollar, to be issued will be only in
exchange at par for gold coin or for the
purchase of silver bullion at the market
price. He does not feel at liberty to use
them to pay for current expenses until the
amount coined is sufficient to furnish all
alike, without discrimination, nor does he
deem it expedient, at present, TO exchange
them for L. s. notes or to use them in the
payment Of interest on the public debt, until
the amount coined is sufficient to enable
him to do so, impartially. Therefore they
will, at present, be used
FOR THE PURCHASE OF SILVER BULLION
at the marked rates. Silver certificates
will soon be ready far issue, and are of the
form OF bank notes, engraved in the best
manner, and printed on bank-rote fibre
paper.
In response to the recent resolution Of
the House, inquiring as to the sale Of U. S.
bonds for outstanding legal-tender notes OF
the United States as par, the Secretary of
the Treasury, to-day, sent communica-
ton to the House, in which he saws: "All
bonds disposed by me have been sold for
their par value in coin"
THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR,
to-day, sent the House communication re-
commencing an appropriation Of SIS, 900 to
be expended in carrying out the intention
of the act of March 1st, 1872, relative to
the setting apart a tract of land near the
head waters OF the Yellowstone river as
public park, to be under the exclusive con-
troll Of the Secretary of the Interior, who
shall make such regulations as he may
deem proper for the
PRESERVATION OF ALL TIMBER,
mineral deposits, natural curiosities and
wonders within the park, and their reten-
ton in their natural condition. The COM
munication was accompanied by the resolu-
tions passed BY the American Association
for the advancement Of science at its meet
ing in Louisville in 1877, recommending
that provision be made by Congress for
the protection of park. The communica-
tion was referred to the committee on pub
