RECENT English writers on italian politics
say that Pope Leo has really been anxious
for some accommodation with the Italian
government which would secure suitable
guarantees for the independence of the
Church, but that he is embarrassed BY the
utter hostility of the majority Of the Col
lege Of Cardinals to the italian monarchy,
which hostility is based on the fact that
they were all appointed by the late Pope
Plus and were earnestly devoted to the de-
posed princes. The main point at issue be-
tween the Pope and the Cardinals seems to
be as to the rolicy of advising the Church
party in Italy to vote at the Italian elections,
the Pope being in favor of it and the Cardi-
nails against it,

The Triumph lin the Second Dis

The result of tue Congressional election
in the Second District yesterday is highly
gratifying, both for personal and political
reasons. Mr.. Dingley is an able, fearless
and incorruptible man. who viii add measur-
ably to the strength Of the Maine delegation.
His constituents, without regard to political
predictions, hold him in honor and feel
that their interests are safe in his hands.
The party has certainly reason to rejoice.
The successful candidates Rspublicanism
is of the kind that will "wash." 1t Is based
on principle, not dependent on caprice nor
at the mercy of petty personal ambition.
The District and its citizens, Republicans
and others, are to be heartily congratulated
at the choice made The majority is sur
prisingly large-possibly large enough to
convince Democrats and Greenbaekers of
the futility of coalitions like that made by
the intriguing committee at Bath. II is
evident that many Democrats repudiated
the Bath alliance and voted for Mr.. Diugley.

If the recently published statement of the
crops and live stock of Texas may be re-
garded as correct, the stock of horned cattle
has either been hitherto grossly exaggerated
or has been reduced in the course of the
past ten years TO most extraordinary ex-
tent, for the number stated does not exceed
the total Of Illinois or of Ohio or Pennsyl-
vania This is doubtless the result of the
enormous progress of the cotton planting
interest and of grain farming in the interior
Of the State. The cotton crop of Texas is
set down at 1,24O,247 bales, which is moro
than one-ffth of the whole annual product
Of the United States.

Under the Snow.

The remarkable case of Elizabeth
Woodcock, who was buried under the
snow, is especially striking. In the
winter Of 1899 she was returning on
horseback from Cambridge, Eng, to her
home in a neighboring village, and. hay
ing dismounted for a few minutes. the
horse ran away from her. At z o'clock
on winter evening she sat down under
thicket, cold, tired and disheartened.
Snow came on; she was too weak to rise.
and the consequence was that by morn
ing the snow had heaped around her to
a height of two feet above her head az
she sat. She had strength enough to
thrust twig, with her handkerchief at
the top Of it, through the snow, to serve
as signal, and to admit little day
light. Torpor supervened, and she knew
little more of what passed around her.
Night succeeded day, and day again
broke, but there she remained, notion
less and foodless. Not senseless, how
ever, for she could hear church bells and
village sounds nay, even the voices and
conversation of some of her neighbors.
-Four whole days she thus remained, one
single pinch OF snuff being her only SUBJ
stitute for food during this time, and
even this she found had lost its pungen-
cy. On the fifth day thaw commenced,
and then she suffered greatly, but still
without means to extricate herself. It
was not until the eighth day that the
handkerchief was espied by villager,
who, with many others, had long been
seeking for her. STOPPING down, he
said:
care you there, Elizabeth Wood
cock?"
She had strength enough to reply,

Dear John stittle, I know your
voice. For Gods sake, help me out

through mismanagement of frost-bitten
toes; but it was fully admitted that no
one, unless cased in snow, could have
lived out those eight days and nights in
such place without food.

A Ride on a Wild Bull.

A year or so since there was "rOdeO'
out on Lost river, in Lake county. Col.
Ranchmen had gathered for circuit of
seventy-fve miles to claim and brand
their young cattle, and when Gordon Of
men had surrounded large band,
among which was a Spanish bull, dis
pute arose about 'mallet head" or
calf, that had escaped the spring brand
ing. The discussion grew warm, none
OF the stock owners being able to set up
valid claim or establish an undoubtad
title. AT last, in a spirit of bravado, a
r"ncher proposed that whoever would
ride the bull without saddle or halter
should be declared owner of the calf.
There was yell of approval, but not
general stampede of volunteers, for
taurus was in ill-humor, and his foaming
mouth and bloodshot eyes gave token
that whoever rode him would have
ride as wild as Mazeppa's, and one that
might not end SO we'll. At last ''va-
qdero" named Frick accepted the chal-
lenge, and the wild bull was Immediate
~ lassoed and held by lariat round
horn and foot. Dismounting from his
horse, the vaquero fastened his long
roweled spurs securely, tied handker-
chief round his head, approached the in
furlated animal, and, grasping the tail
in his hands, sprang lightly on it, set
ting the spurs deeply in its tanks as he
settled securely in his seat. The lariats
were slackened. The bull gave roar of
rage and terror, and flung his head to
the ground; but the rider had his back
to the horns and a firm grip on the tail,
and kept his seat. Another roar that
shook the ground, wild plunge, and
the now-maddened bull shot out across
the sage plain with lightning speed, his
plucky rider twisting the tail that was to
him sheet-anchor until the bellowings
were lost in the distance. For over a
mile and half the race continued, amid
the excited cheers Of the vaquero's
comrades. Occasionally the bull gave
desperate plunge through the heavy
clump OF sage, in the vain attempt torid
himself of his tormentor; but the long
rowels only clung more firmly to his
f1anks. Sometimes the animal and rider
were hidden by undulations in the
ground, and bets were even made that
Frick would be thrown and gored and
at last the bull, exhausted from sheer
fright, fell. and the plucky vaquero,
stepping lightly off, returned to claim
his prize, which was unanimously
awarded. This occurrence is related by
q prominent cattle man in Lake county.
