would have followed. In these tronIa
cal countries the negroes could live
almost without work. The conse.
quence was that Jamaica steadily de-
cIined in prosperity for fifteen wears
after the proclamation Of enlancipa-
ton. Since then 1t has recovered it,
former prosperity. The planters had
the value Of tnelr slaves to help Them
selves with. All their other property
was untouched.
The emancipation of the slaves In
the Southern states of this country
was followed by exactly such period
Of depression, intensified by the fact
that the owners got nothing for them
and were left with all their property
destroyed, surrounded by the black
ened ruins a their homes. They were
infinitely worse off than the Jamaica
planters, and TO add to their
sorrows they were tainted with their
want of thrift by the merciless press of
the North when their unfortunate con-
dition was the result of laws that
worked as inexorably in the British
West Indies as south OF Mason and
Dixon's line. The same inevitable
result would follow the disturbing of
the economic laws in Brazil only the
effects would be intensified.

Sam Patch's Last Leap.

We have often been requested by
travellers and others to republish The
particulars of Sam Patch's last leap
from the falls, but not having in our
possession any newspaper files OF that
year, we are unable to do so. In an
swer to an inquiry in our daily yester-
day, Mr.. Henry Scranton, of this city,
has furnished us from his private jour
nal the following: The first leap took
place on Friday, the 9Th of November
1929; distance, 100 feet. He Went
down in fine style, and rose TO the sur.
face amid the huzzas of themultitude
The number of persons present was
estimated at 1000 to 5000. The last and
fatal leap, which took place one week
later, was advertised in the 1nti-1id'
sonic Inquirer as follows;

Ell Paso Times: A gentleman who
was at Santa Fe on the last day of the
Tertio-millennial, SAYS that the total
amount of the gate fees during its con-
tinuance was only $4,000, and that
the debts not only consumed that
amount, but all of the $4,000 which
had been subscribed by the people of
that place, and that still the manage

THE POPE,s LETTER.
Fall Text OF the Document which Has Gre
ated a Comm notion.

The following is the full text Of the circular ad-
dressed by the Holy See to the Irish Bishops. and
dispatched from Rome TO each Of them "n the llth
inst:
Whatever may be the ease as regards Mr.. Parnell
himself and his Objects it is at all events proved
that many of his followers have ON many occasions
adopted line of conduct in open contradiction To
the rules laid down by the Supreme POntih m hlS
letter to the Cardinal Archbishop of Dublin. and
contained in the Instructions sent to the Irish BiS
CD by this sacred Congregation, and unanimously
accepted by them at their recent meeting at Dublin
IL is true that, according to those instructions IL Is
lawful for the Irish TO seek redress for their greH
ances and to strive for their rights: but always at
the same time observing the Divine maxim to seek
first the kingdom Of God and his justice, and remeni
bering also that it is wicked to further any cause
no matter how just, by illegal means.
II is therefore the duty of all the clergy, and es-
pecally of the Bishops to curb the excited feelings
Of the multitude. and to take every opportunity
with timely exhortations to recall them TO the jus
tice and moderation which are necessary IN all
things, that so they may not be led away by greed
Of gain to mistake evil for good or to place their
hopes of public prosperity in the shape Of criminal
acts Hence it follows that it Is not permitted to
any Of the clergy to depart from these rules them
selves. or to take part in in any way promote
movements inconsistent with prudence and with the
duty of calming mems minds, Ii is certainly not
forbidden to collect for the relief of distress in Ire
land but ut the same time the aforesaid apostolic
mandates absolutely condemn such collections as
raised in order to infamc populag passions and
to be used q means for leading men into rebellion

must hold themselves alOof from such subscriptions
when it is plain that hatred and disseusiOns are
aroused by them, that distinguished persons are
loaded with insults, that in any way are Gems
ures pronounced against the crimes and murders
with which wicked men sustain themselves, and es-
peciay when il is asserted that the Of true
patriotism lie in proportion TO the amount OF money
given or ref used-so to bring the people under
the pressure Of intimidation
In these circumstances il must be evident To Your
Lordshp that the collection called the ''Parnell
Testimonial Fund" not be approved by this
Sacred Congregation; and consequently It can not
be tolerated that any ecclesiastc, much less Bsh-
op, should take any part whatever in recommending
or promoting IL. Meanwhile we pray God long To
preserve your Lordship.

GUITEAU,S BONES.
How They are whitening in the National
Museum in Washington.

In a small room in the upper story of the Nation
nj Museum. formerly FOr,i's Theatre, in Washing
houSckes pers for kneadins dough. But in this in
stance the contents of the trays OF more ghas
il description, being the highly polished bones of
the assassin Guiteau. While inspecting the remains
of the notorious criminal, the attention of your cor
respondent was directed to the extraordinary white
of the bones. and their resemblance to polished
ivory. No attempt has been made TO articulate the
skeleton, and the trays bear no number by which
they could he distinguished from similar recepta-
cles in the museum.
Look in that paper box over there, if you want
to AN interesting skull" said the guide, point
iBg to a deep hat box a small table strewn with
bones and tools used by anatomists. There was
highly polished skull in the box, and on the right
side was the detection which the insanity experts
wrangled about during the trial The attention of
the guide drawn to this fact but he laughed at
the idea Of its being an Indication of insanity.
"a perfectly symmetrical head" said he. would
be white blaekbird. Out of eighteen
hundred skulls examined at the museum during the
dispute about Guiteaus head, only one was found
perfect. and that is now down stairs in one Of the
exhibition cases"
1t was ascertained that in preparing the bones of
of the dead murderer. more than usual care had
been taken TO preserve them. and consequently the
skeleton when mounted. will be the best in the col
lection of the museum. II has been deemed advisa-
be, for prudential reasons to keep the bones in q
secure place until they can be exhibited to visitors,
but all talk about their identity having been lost Is
bosh One of the first questions of the tourist doing
the museum is to be shown Guiteau's skeleton, and
in order to escape being bored, the surgeon in
charge has declined to ascertain its location in the
buikling The process by which the bones were
treated insures their perpetuatiOn for indefinite
period, and Anatomist f. y. Schafhirtt gave his
personal attention to the work Not a bone has
been lost, and, before stated when articulated,
the skeleton will be the best in the museum. The
plaster casts of his skull have the same indentaton
as the real head. The coffin in which the remains
of the assassin removed from the jail three
days after burial, il retained at the museum, but
the outer box is still in the ground ut the jail A
trusted official has the key Of the in which the
bones are kept, and no one il allowed to range at
will in this apartment.

FATAL ACcIDEST.-Last Sunday, of John
Cooper, at Doniphan, aged about twelve years.
went out hunting. Not returning in reasonable
time, his father went to look for him, and found
him dead, in the woods, his gun having been dis
charged, the load entering under the chin, passing
upwards, and blowing the top Of his head of. 1t
was evidently accidental, but in what way it was
supposed to have occurred, We have not learned.
Observers of the Sabbath have had ample oppor
tunity to point to fearful examples at Douiphan,
arising out of dissertations of the day by hunting.
Several years ago, prominent citizen had large
portion of one hand blown of by the explosion of
his gun, while out hunting on Sunday. About
year ago, fatal shooting took place among some
young men out on Sunday spree. Now this last
dreadful affair adds one more 10 the list.
