WHO THE POPES WERE.

Eighty of the Popes says the Catholic
Times, are honored saints, thirty-one
martyrs, and forty-three confessors. st.
Agatho was the only Pope who lived to
be a centenarian, as he is also the only
one, after st. Peter, who may be honored
with the title of miracle-worker. st.
Agatho died at the age of 107 years, in
6S2, having reigned three years, six
months, and fifteen days. Gregory TX.
died at the age of 9S years; Celestine III.
and Gregory XII, at the age of 80; John
XII, at the age of 90; Clement XII, at
the age SO years, and Clement X. and
Plus TX. at the age of Sc.
The Popes have been drawn from all
classes of society. Nineteen were sons
or near relations of Princes; an equal
number came from illustrious families.
Many were mobiles in rank or of great
wealth. Others sprang from obscurity.
Sixtus VI. was the son of a fisherman.
Alexander V. was the son of poor, un-
known parents, and passed his first years
in begging from door. Adrian w., the
only English Pope, was abandoned by
his father and had to subsist ON charity,
until, going to France, he entered a con-
vent as a servant, where, by his intelh-
gence and virtue, he was afterward
deemed worthy to be received into relig-
ion. Sixtus Y. had for his father a poor
laborer, for his mother servant, and for
a sister a laundress. st. Celestine V.
was the son of simple farmer. Benedict
MI. was the child of baker. Urban
". had carpenter for father. as also
had Gregory VII.
Five of the Popes had studied mede-
cine before taking the holy orders.
Benedict XI was the child of a notary.
julius III. was the descendant of a
famous jurisconsult. Pelagius I. was the
son of the vicar of the Prefect of his pro-
vince. Paul V. had for his father pat
rician of Sienna, and Eugene w., Gre
CORY XII, and Alexander VII. belonged
to patrician families of Venice. Whatever
their origin, however, they no sooner
acceeded TO the chair of st. Peter than
they displayed great wisdom, great char
ity, and great piety.

A FRENCH SHARPER,

j. W. Mackey, the unfortunate Cali
fornia miner, still struggling to get his
bread with a wretehed rittanea of not
more than 500 or $500 an hour, related
recently one of his experiences i'll Paris.
wherein he was scandalously duped 1t
was his first visit to France; his arrival
in Paris at certain time had been men
toned in the newspapers there, with the
fact that he had engaged apartments at
the Hotel Anglais. When be reached
the station, he was not surprised to find
pleasant-looking, extremely courteous
Frenchman, who spoke English, waiting
for him, saying that he had been expect
ed. The stranger made sure of his name
however, ,ced him in carriage, at
tended to his luggage, and drove him to
the hotel. There he brought him the
register to sign, and MackeY signed it,
while the Gaul, rs if by accident, held
bit of blotting paper over the name of the
house at the top of the page. "When 1
turned away" said the millionaire, che
remarked. L hope you will be pleased
with the Hotel Francais.' But | don't
want to stay there. The Hotel Anglais
is my place, as I've told you. a thous-
and pardons. How stupid / am to have
made such blunder! 1 misunderstood
you" Then calling a carriage, he trans
ferred Mackey, himself, and baggage to
the Hotel Anglais. The Californian
thought that it was all right until he re-
ceived, six months after, an interminable
bill from the Hotel Francais for FIVE
months board, with wine, and every sort
of extra. The fellow had, on leaving
him, gone directly back to the Francais,
passed himself off for the miner, lived in
grand luxury, and whenever the bill was
sent in, deferred payment on some pre-
text or other. The swindler finally quit
ted the house, and directed the bill to be
sent to Mackey's San Francisco address,
and has not been heard of since. The
Californian now entertaius the opinion
that Frenchman can ''out-beat" any
beat on the Pacific slope.

MANURES FOR THE GARDEN.

which those who keep much poultry and

veil to remember; but it should be thor
'ughly mixed with the soil, for in the
resh state, seeds in contact with it will

"You love him, Sylvia Z"

'No! | might if he had proved link

told that he took on like madman when
informed of the child's birth, and he
hardly knew the child, and I never loved
anyone but Paul"
Poor orphan boy; worse than father
less and 1potherless."
''But answer me, Helen; you will for
give me, won't you? for 1 have suffered
torments, and though I may get well this
time, shall die suddenly"
Helen was locking ia the face of the
sweet child, fresh from the hands of
God, and her hard heart was conquered.
The child did it, and she said:
81 forgive you"
''And will come here to see us9"
"That I cannot do"
"1hen your forgiveness is all mockery,
and you are afraid of your own heart. Z"
Against her better judgment she con-
sented to come once in awhile.
That evening she sent for Paul, and
told him that she feared his wife, and
thought she meant her evil, and told him
of her promise.
"Now, Paul, either you or I must
leave this place, never more to meet
"My punishment is greater than can
bear, muttered Paul; but they bade
each other goodbye reverently, tenderly,
for they knew that never again on earth
should they meet.
1t was few months after, early in
August, that Helen had letter handed
her in Franch. She took it to her room
and made no haste to open it, for she
knew that Paul was dead. as only few
nights before, Paul Washer had come to
her in her sleep, with face transfgured,
and she had reached out her arms to him
and said:
paul, [ will come 7"
The letter was written by French
man, telling her that Paul had been
fatally wounded at Sedan; that there
never was a braver, nobler man than
Paul Washer; that he was sitting by him
in the middle of the night, when sudden
ly Paul, IN loud, clear voice, sang out,

EARLY HISTORY OF THE WAR
ABOUT WHICH LITTLE Is
KNOWN.

Surveying the situation in the far
South and West we find in the first place
that the rebels had complete possession
of the great State of Texas. Twiggs had
traitorously surrendered all the troops
under his command, with forts, arms,
ammunition and supplies of all kinds,
and many of the men had been paroled.
This vast region afforded an admirable
base for extended military operations. and
it was not long before advantage was
sought to be taken of it, i'll the autumn
of 1861. 1t was somewhat as follows
that the Confederate leaders argued the
matter: Assuming that they could hold
their own east of the Mississippi, move
could be made westward of that river,
having every promise of success, and
which, if successful, would give immense
material and moral advantage to the
South. The plan WAS nothing less ex-
tensive than the capture of California
and the subsection of five other States
and Territories.
For the execution of this brilliant en-
terprise the programme was simple. A
powerful column should march by Ell
Paso into New Mexico, defeat or flank
Camby.at Fort Craig, and occupy Santa
Fe. Next would come Fort Union, con-
tanning an admirable arsenal and supply
depot fitted in good season by Floyd with
most convenient stock of arms, am
munition and stores. Thence the march
northward would be easy, and the prizes
would fall rapidly into the hands of the
troops.
Indians and Mormons were probable
and valuable allies. The sure result could
hardly fail to be the complete and speedy
control of rich State, splendid sea
coast, and forts from which men -of-war
and privateers could issue to sweep the
Pacific. This would hasten recognition
by European nations, would lead to the
breaking Of the Atlantic blockade by
England aud France-and then the end
would soon come. me.-Inteynational Re

HANDS OFF.

Olive Logan got mad the other day
and got off the following: ga woman s
safeguard is to keep mans hands off
her. If you need his assistance in walk
ing take his arm instead of him taking
yours. Just tell him in plain English to
hands off, He may not like it at first,
but he will respect you in the future ten
fold mols. Men will be and do just
what the women allow them to do. Men
will not do to trust. Give a man your
arm, and you will find him very conf
Dental, and he will take great many
privileges he would not take if he were
not permitted to do so. He viii give
yonr arm many loving squeezes and sly
twists that he could have no opportunity
of doing, and the opportunity is just
what he is after. A few more words of
advice and 1 close. Keep young girls off
the street, except when they have busi-
ness. Teach them it is unnecessary to
go to the post Office every time they go
out. Your girls can walk alone just as
well as your boys. Don't allow your
girls, if they must have beau, to go
with boys much older than themselves.
If possible, instill into their very nature
that they are safer in their own hands
than they are in the hands of any man
preachers not excepted"

EARLY SPRING VEGETABLES.

We suppose that not even the most
practical epicures enjoy their dainty
dishes more than the average human be-
ing does his early vegetables; and con-
sidering how comparatively easy it is to
have some of these the wonder is that
more is not done to get them. The
reason, perhaps. is that few think of it
till the spring time comes, when it is too
late to do much in the way of getting
them. This is the time to begin to think
about these things. Many vegetables
start into growth with very little heat,
and even the protection of fence will
often bring things forward some days
before those which have cold ground and
bleak winds to contend with. We know
of garden near this city which has but
a low wall about four feet high around
it; but even this is wonderful screen
against cold winds. Up punder the north
wall of this little garden, in the full
southern sun, is the rhubarb and the
asparagus, and this little advantage alone
gives them near two weeks start on their
neighbors with these two vegetables. 1t
is not always convenient, or even desir-
able to have a wall like this, but almost
any one can have a thick arborvita
hedge, which will answer nearly as WELL
Besides this, much can be done by hot
bed-frames, as they are generally called,
although when no manure is used to
make an artificial warmth, they are by
gardeners called frames. These placed
over crops bring them forward consider
ably. Beds of asparagus can be made
with an especial view to having them
covered with sash in this manner, and
when the spring comes both radishes and
lettuce can be sown on the earth under
the glass, and will grow and do we'll
without much interference from the
asparagus growing up between them.
Let ali who have gardens look around
just now and see when it can be done

The AIR LINE TO EURoPE.-Mr. S. G.
Gregory of this city has just completed
full working model of his last invention.
1t is an air ship, and has occupied the
entire time of the inventor for many
months. The vessel is sharp at both
bow and stern, the better to overcome
the resistance of the atmosphere. At
either end are placed driving wheels and
IuuueIs. Ine IatUer are controlled by
one wheel situated amidships. The cyl
inders, which contain 10000 cubic feet
of pure hydrogen each, are constructed
of four thicknesses of silk, the ends be-
ing tipped with brass, and the whole
lashed to the gunwale by cords. At either
end are placed elevators or depressors,
controlled upon the principle of an Ar
chimedian screw. The sleeping rooms,
dining rooms and cargo are all provided
for in the hold of the vessel. Mr.. Greg
ory says the cylinder will sustain weight
of 10, 900 pounds, and that the speed will
be over 80 miles an hour. A trip to Eu-
rope can be made in four days. The
rudders are in q line with the keel, and
serve to turn the boat as required. 1t is
intended to sail the boat at an altitude of
1000 feet. In case of q storm the ele-
vators can be put in motion and the ship
raised above the line of the storm. 1t is
proposed to build an exhibition ship,
after which Mr.. Gregory will ely" to
Europe, starting in the month of July.
The mechanical wonder has been care
fully examined by scientists and engi-
neers, who pronounce it practicable.-
The merits of the invention are safety
combined with speed. Press.

KILLED BY THE ELECTRIC
LIGHT.

An accident of an extraordinary nature
has occurred at the Hate Theater, Aston,
near Birmingham. The stage is lighted
by two electric lights, and when the can
dies are not burning two brass connec
tions, used for the purpose of crossing
the current, are hung up over the or
chestra. After the performance of the
pantomime, Mr.. Bruno, the euphonium
player, was leaving with the other mem
bers Of the band, when, presumably out
of curiosity, he caught hold of the two
brass connections referred to. The man
in charge called out to him with the
object of warning him of the danger he
ives innnrrino THO rrns--;-c, 1-------c,
came too late. Mr.. Bruno received the
full shock of the eclectric current gener-
ated by the powerful battery which sup
plies the whole of the lamps in the
building and grounds. 1t is said that
the candles not being then burning Mr..
Bruno was unable to disengage himself,
and pulled the wire down. The shock
rendered him insensible. Medical men
were soon in attendance and restoratives
but Mr.. Bruno died in forty minutes
afterward. .-LondOn Times.
