confined to kind of crib; never once could
she change her posture for all that time.
"And yet, 'says DR.. Arnold, and think his
words are very beautiful, ~ never saw more
perfect instance of the spirit Of power and
love and OF sound mind. Intense love, almost
to humiliation of selishness; daily martyr
dom for twenty years, during which she adj
hered to her early formed resolution of never
talking about herself; thoughtful about the
very pins and ribbons of my wife's dress, about
the making of q doll's cap for child; but of
herself-saVe as regarded her improvement in
all enthusiastically thoughtless; enjoying
everything lovely, graceful, high-mindsd,
whether in Gods works or mans, with the
keenest relish; inheriting the earth to the
very fullness Of the promise; and preserved
through the very valley of tho shadow of
death from all fear or impotence, or from
every cloud of impaired reason which might
mar the beauty OF Christ's glorious work
A VIGOROUS writer comes to the rescue of
the much despised and condemned printers
Devil,' who is often spoken of with contempt
and derlsion by those who have not a modicum
of his sense and capabilities. But THE GLOBE
here gives the writer referred to full scope for
his just and truthful utterance. He remarks ::
"There is no class of boys for whom we
have more profound respect than well be-
| haved printers devils. They know something
and are practical, which is more than you Can
say of all classes of boys. In that respect. we
place the bo,s who work in printing office
head and shoulders above most boys. Bepja-
| min franklin was once printers devil. He
| was also one Of the signers of the Declaration
Of Independence. Hannibal Hamlin, vice
| president under Lincoln, was once printers
poor devil. Schuyler Colfax, who was speaker
OF the house of representatives for years, was
| nothing but devil in printing office at one
time. Horace Greeley. who was one Of the
| first Journalists on this continent, and eX-
congressman, was a printers devil. Ex-senator
Simon Cameron of Pennsylvania was devil
| ThurlOw Weed, one Of the wealthiest and
most influential men in New York, was pen
| niless devil in q printing office. Ex-senator
| Ross of Kansas commenced his successful
career as printers devil. Two thirds of the
editors in the United States were once printers
| devils. Permit me to tell you that the men
who once did duty as printers have done more
to advance the interests and sustain the good
| name of America than any other class"
CURIOUS story is told at some length
by Figaro, a Paris journal, concerning
the negotiations which it asserts have
recently take place in regard to the expected
departure of the Pope from Rome. This
flight from the Vatican has long been the
fixed purpose of Leo XIII, but it is only re-
| Gently that he has decided where to go.
Prince Bismarck offered to repeal the
May laws and to authorize the expelled
priests to return to their parishes if the Pope
would consent to fix his future residence in
Frankfort. He promised that the city should
be neutraliHed, as in the time of the German
Confederation, and offered the Pope its tenn
poral sovereignty, with subsidy of many
millions per annum Leo declined. Strasburg
was then offered on the same terms as Frank
| fort. This offer was also refused. A refuge
in France was out of the question. So, at
last, the Pope closed with the offer of Salz-
| burg, which has been made him by the
Hapsburgs. The city is to be neutralized and
the Pope snbventioned from the Austrian ex-
chequer. Everything is said to be in readi-
ness for the transfer of the Holy See from
Rome to SalSburg, and before long the hour
of departure will be fixed.
How much of science and of art now lost
that illustrated the past ages of the world
| the human mind cannot conceive. It
is the sheerest folly to assume that in reference
to all pre-existent states of attainment, the
present has reached an altitude of perfection
that vastly overshadows all the past, whose
inventions were only those of crude barba-
rians." In some specific specialties the pres
emit may vastly overmaster anything reached
in the remote, dark, aad misty past, and yet
even this may well be doubted. The "lost
arts" the dim lore of ages, who can recall? In
a late able and noted work on architecture the
candid author freely admits that not only is
it impossible to duplicate the great temples of
Athens, but it is inconceivable how they were
constructed. The temples and pyramids of
Egypt equally defy modern comprehension.
The old Roman roads, the ancient
canals of India, are positively beyond the point
OF improvement. The very magnificent
ruins' of the old world attest the skill of in
ventors, engineers and artisans, and defy the
attempts of modern, full and perfect concep-
ton. The modern world Is slowly gaining

| A N. Y. correspondent writes: The fact that
a baggage expressman has offered $1,000 for
the recovery Of some stolen trunks calls our
attention to the magnitude which that bust
ness has attained. Dodd, the expressman,
handles on an average Is, 1000 trunks week,
his fee being forty cents apiece. A man who
does business of $4,000 week can afford
to offer reward. Dodd began poor but has
become rich, and now dignifes his establish
ment with the title of the New York Transfer
Company. The rapidity with which the above
mentioned haul was made shows the readiness
with which the thieves of this city improve
their opportunity. The culprit in the above
mentioned case followed the baggage wagon
until good chance was afforded, and the
moment the driver was out Of sight he started
off with his plumber. This shows how every.
thing of value is followed by some of the In
satiable army of crime. New York sharpers
are ready for every occasion. The thief, Ct
course knew where to convey his plumber, and
probably within twenty minutes after starting
the baggage was in the hands of receiver.
Its value is mentioned as $4,000. The thief,
however, probably did not get more than $50,
