THE NEW POPE.

The London Times of the 18th inst.
thus spoke of Cardinal Pecci, who was
elevated by the College of Cardinals to|
the highest post of honor in the Roman
catholic Church:
Cardinal Pecci is tall, with head high.
forehead narrowing at the temples, long
face aud straight features. He has al
Fargo mouth, prominent chin, cheerful,
open counteannce, and large, well-shaped
ears. His face reminds one of Consular,
the renowned minister Of Plus VII
He has fine. sonorous voice, great
dignity, even austerity of manners in
public life, but privately is affectionate
|unassuming, sociable and witty as Cam
|erllng6. He has been the head Of that
party which, without formally renounc-
The right Of the Holy See, acknowledges
he wisdom of submitting to tho dc
cree of Providence, accepting what
seems to be irrevocably accomplished
facts. The general opinion is that for
great tact, energy, dignity, amiability,
real moral worth and sincere piety, tle
Sacred Collage could not find a more
deserving Pope than Cardinal Pecci.-
At Perugia, he followed the same policy
recommended by the late Cardinal Riar-
co Storza. AT Naples, he advised good
catholics to fulfil their duties as citizens
at the municipal and provincial elections
even when the clerical press. protesting

Joined the policy of ASSERTION. Cardin
ii Pecci spoke with great effect agains
he proposal for the removal of the con-
clave from Rome, and other measures
advocated by the reactionary party. He
enjoyed the confidence and support Of
the liberals, or at least Of reasonable
majority of them in the sacred college
md plays the same part as was sustain
ID by Cardinal Gizgi in the conclave Of
1916. Cardinal Pecci's private life al
Ill periods is above reproach Has con
siderable literary talent and has written
poetry. Whenever he has had inter
course with the functionaries of the
present Italian Government, he has es-
.eemed by them all, and those with
whom the necessity of his duty brings
him into contact are perfectly charmed
with him.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY %, 1878

A Presbyterian clergyman, living nea
Montreal, has to cross wide stream If
going to and from his church. On ;
recent Sunday. the ice being bare ant
smooth, he skated, instead Of riding, a
usual in his sleigh lie now finds him
self arraigned for breaking the Sabbath
He argues that skates were the casies
and quickest conveyance that he coulc
have employed; yet, when the question
is put to him squarely, he does not den.
that he derived pleasure from the skat
ing.-Er.
Why didn't they think to ask him i
he didn't derive pleasure from riding al
50, and then they could have made hin
walk with peas in his shoes, and close
pin on his nose which would have effect
ually settled the matter, in regard t
such an awfully wicked and deprave'
sensation as pleasure while going t
church 1t must be heavy burden o
such pious congregation, to keep
Clergyman in satisfactory state o
humiliation.

TIE NOFFETT BELL-PUNCH

That Naturalization of the Moffet
bcllpunch, which now furnishes unerr

the efforts of an enterprising gentleman,
who is introducing it to the notice of
the community, are crowned with sue
cess. This engenious gas-metre arrange
ment is neat, simple, and effective in
It's operation, and has capacity for re
Clustering up to a million drinks-sufi-
cient to satisfy any reasonable commun-
ity. In Virginia the law compels a
barkeeper to turn the crank and sound
the gong once for every drink, and ct
the end of the month the register shows
the amount consumed. Inasmuch as
any violation OF the law subjects the
offender to forfeiture of license, impris-
onment, and fine, of which half goes
to the informer, it is evident that the
more suspicious customers looks when
he enters a saloon and call for his favor

barkeeper be to register, for fear his Gus!

Livery time the bell rings for the sale of
spirits, it means that two and one-hali;
cents have dropped into the State Treas
ury, and every glass of beer consumed!
pays half cent tax. If the Motfett;
bell-punch were in general use through
out the Union. the national debt wouldI
be wiped out in short order. The pref
cautions against fraud in the use of the7
Instrument are such that BY no possibil-
