Blood ORa alae Moon.

Quong Lee, one Of Bentons most indus
trious Cinnamon, is indignant and he called
on the RIvER PREss last evening to have his
grievance aired. Ie seems there is another
Celestial here, named Levy, who has been
trying for several weeks TO undermine Quong
Lee in business and he gets in his work by
resorting to all manner Of deception and false
hood. Levy goes to Quong's customers and
tells them the later has sold out or gone away,
and thus gets the :sWash." He has worked
this little game so often that Quong Lee is
getting desperate and declares be will have
fair play or blood. He asks us to state that he
has not sold out and does not intend to and to
request his customers to beware of the fellow
who says TO the contrary tt We ''savy'
Quong Lee rightly he is much injured man
and has abundant grounds for complaint.

Of Leonard Courtonay 10 an UndersecEetary-
ship, couple OF weeks ago, Just after he
had cut himself aloof from the Radicals, was
bad enough, but that wh!tewasted Tory

carrying matters to extremes. Probably the
dissatisfaction Of the Radicals at the event
accounts for the rumor that they are going to

The Pope's Pecullarities.
lPall Mall Gazette. |

lPall Mail GaZette.
His Holiness, Pope Leo XIII, appears to be
a decidedly enigmatical parsonage, if we may
trust the account given Of him by the Roman
correspondent of The Cologne Gazette. The
most striking fact about him so far appears to
be the slight extent to which his character is
known either by the faithful at large or by the
inmates of the Vatican. Every one knows
how Plus TX. lived his hours were all allotted
beforehand, and the same duties always per-
formed at the same moment. There is a total
want OF this regularity in his successor. He
keeps late hours, and has sometimes been
found by his servants at his desk in the early
morning half dazed after writing through the
night. He has all his meals served to him in
the greatest privacy, is mach more sparing of
audiences than was Plus, and even his state
secretary and the cardinals can only see him at
irregular intervals. The great innovation he
has made has been his partial superscession of
the aforementioned official, who, under Plus
TX. practically administered the affairs of the
papacy. He has set on foot chancellery of
his own, consisting of three private secretaries,
and conducts his affairs with their aid quite
independently of the state secretary aud often
over his head. 1t not unfrequently happens
that orders go down to the bishopricS from the
state secretaries and are Cancelled in day or
two by different orders from the Pope, or that
the secretary brings papers to his Holiness and
tells him that he has settled particular mat
ter in such a way, merely in order to be told
that the Pope himself had already settled it in
quite different way One thing is clear, that
Leo XIII. means to be master in his own
house; but the exact aim and tendency of his
policy are by no means equally evident. But Leo
comes from the country of the Coccari, and it
is believed in Italy that a man from that dis.
trict is commonly rather deep-a notion which
appears also to be strongly entertained by the
CORRESPONDENT
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1881-05-13
Turkey and Tunis.

Inquiry is frequently made regarding the
concern Turkey has in the affairs of Tunis
and why the government of The Porte should
think ofgiving the Bey the aid of the Turk
ish fleet. The reason is this: The Sultan of
Turkey is also the supreme pontiff of
all orthodox Mohammedans. He is the
Caliph, the successor of the Prophet, and
theoretically the temporal and spiritual
head of Islam. The conquest of Tunis was
made by the followers of Mahomet near the
close of the seventh century, and the yoke
then imposed upon its people has never
been entirely shaken off. For short time
Tunis was under the control of the Yves ern
Caliphate, the splendid government of Cor
dova. But it soon renewed its allegiance to
the Eastern Caliphate, being brought to
sense of its duty by the armies of Haroun
Alraschld. As long as the Abassides reigned
Tunis paid them tribute, and the tax was
continued when the Ottoman Turks estab-
lished themselves. 1t was paid up to 1871,
when the Porte renounced it, in considera-
ton that the Bey should agree to receive his
investiture from Constantinople, and to neith-
er declare war, conclude peace, nor cedc
territory without the Sultan's consent. Tu-
mis- was however, left free to conduct its IN
ternal affairs and regulate its commerce af
ter its own pleasure.
Tunis is to-day considered at Constantine
pie and doubtless by most of its own people
as under the spiritual and temporal govern
ment of the Sultan. 1t is part of the do
minion of Islam, and as such the Caliph
must protect it against attack. That is why
the Turks take part in the quarrel between
the French and the Tunisians. The inter-
vention will, however, work no disturbance;
for the Caliphate is as powerless to-day in
most of the countries that nominally ac-
knowledge its authority as the Holy Roman
Empire was in Europe after the Treaty of
Westphalia.

Theology for Children.
[Dean Stanley.l


What shall we teach our children to believe
in order that, when they grow up. they may
find that later experiences shall not alter what
they have learned when they were young? We
must teach them that beyond ami above what
they see and feel and touch there is something
greater and better which they cannot see or
feel Or touch. Goodness, kindness, modesty,
courage, unselfshness, these are the best things
in all the world. 1t is true that goodness and
courage have no faces that we can kiss, no
hands that we can clasp, yet they are certainly
there in the midst of our work and our play;
and this goodness which, except in outward
acts, we cannot see, is something which exist
ed long before we were born. 1t is from this
that we have all the pleasant things in this
world. The flowers, the sunshine, the MOON
light,-all these were given to us by some great
kindness and goodness which we have never
seen at all; and this goodness, which is every
where, is that great power out of which all
things come. And we call this great power by
tine name of God; and because God is so much
above us, and is so good to us, we call him also
by the name which is the most dear to us and
the most above us of all the names on earth,-
we call him our Father. When the father of
his children goes away from home, still his
children know that he is somewhere, though
they cannot see him; and they know what they
can do to please him. And so it is with the
great unseen Father of US all. Let us, then,
teach our children that God is goodness aud
love. Let us teach them that the rules he has
laid down for the government Of this world are
his will and wish for us. Even the frost and
cold, even sickness and pain, are for our good;
and we must trust that he who has sent them
to us has some good reason to make US strong
and healthy and brave. Thus you will see in
Westminster abbey, on the monument Of Sir
John Franklin, who was so long shut up in the
ice, the words, 80 We frost and cold, ye ice
aud snow, bless ye the Lord, and magnify his
name forever" This is one way of expressing
our belief in our Father in heaven, but this
highness, goodness snd kindness is like what
we have seen and heard of in the world.
