NO LONGER SECURE IN THE vATICAN--ExtLE

ROME. October 1.-THE pope, in
his address to the Italian pilgrims at
st. Peters yesterday, stated that the
deplorable state of affairs placed be-
fore him the alternative of enduring
continual captivity, made harder daily
or of going into exile. He therefore
asked Catholics TO watch and pray for
the liberty and independence OF the
pope. He concluded by saying that
he was no longer secure in his palace T;
that he was outraged in his person and
dignity in thousand ways.
The gravity and earnestness of the
pope made profound impression. He
closed his address with his arms raised
to Heaven as though imploring help.
THE ITALIAN PILGRIMS ASSAULTED.
LONDON, Oct. IA dispatch from
Rome to the Times says: "It is impos-

IT has Just leaked out that while
Gen. Grant was taveling in Asia he ex-
pressed desire to get shot at lion.
Not wishing to expose him to danger
the natives secured a stuffed lion, set
it up in a jungle, and then took the
illustrious traveller out for hunt.
When the beast was sighted the Gene
raj was all excitement, and crawling
up TO a favorable position began to
blaze away at the animal with no per-
ceptible effect. After firing about
twenty shots he began to get mad. and
taking off his coat, he settled down for
a regular siege. Fearing his wrath
when he discovered the sell, the atten-
dants endeavored to induce him to
give up the attempt to kill the beast,
telling him that it had bore charm
ed life and that he could not possibly
injure it. He told them to 90 to
thunder; that he was after blood, and
was going to have it. After a vain
fusilade of half an hour, he arose to
his feet gnashing his teeth with rage,
three his suspender off his shoulders,
rolled up his sleeves, and grabbed his
rifle by the barrel, so he could use it
as a club. The attendents again beg.
ged him to desist: but he politely,
though forcibly informed them that
he would have that cuss or leave his
honored remains strewn promiscuous-
ly all through the jungle. and with
a wild cry OF, "IlI fight it out on this
lion if it takes all summer" he rush.
ed upon the beast, and, with we'll
directed blow had it over on its side.
Then he chased the native attendants
for six miles, but, being better ac-
quainted with the country, they got
away from him in safety.

ACCORDING to estimate made by
the indianapolis Sentinel. the illness
and burial of the late President in
volved an expenditure of about s347,-
600. OF that sum s247, 900 we're spent
at Cleveland and 100000 during the
patients struggle for life. Mr.. Gar
fields private secretary, Mr.. Brown,
kept the run of things until the fatal
termination. He says that the doc
tors bills probably will prove TO be
$4,000 and that the average daily ex-
pense approximated 81 $50. The sick
bed expenses, as Mr. Brown thinks,
will be borne by Congress and there
seems to be a settled conclusion that
the s247 900 incurred at Cleveland
are to come out Of the Ohio State
Treasury and the Cleveland people.
The decorations in Cleveland cost
100000; the accommodations, $780,
600; the arches, $1,000; the catafal-
que, $4,000; the music, $4,000, and so
on. The transportation of the remains
from Elberon to Ohio was the work of
the Pennsylvania Company, which, it
is understood, will make no charge.
Accompanying the estimate of the
sick bed and funeral expenses Is a
statement that Mrs. Garfield 10 likely
to receive pension of ut least $4,000
year, which will make her income
about $4,000.
