THE pope, commenting on

THE pope, commenting on the hos
tilities in Tonquin and Soudan, ex-
claimed: "The church has small
cause to thank the great western
powers for their services in behalf of
religion and civilization. When At
RIGA and Tonquin are pacif1ed we
shall be at a point where we were
half century ago."

The ladies of Berlin are painted i'm
most unfattering colors by M. Vasili,.
in his paper OH Berlin society in the
present number of the Nouvelle Re
vue. AS general rule, he says, the
Berlin woman of the upper classes
neither reads nor worKs nor occupies
herself in any useful way. She passes.
her existence in gossip and in the
frivolities of the toilet. She has not
two serious ideas in her head, nor two
elevated feelings in her mind. Her
preferences are vulgar, her influence
insignificant. She lacks grace, educa-
ton and tact. She tries to ape French
women as well as she can; but she only
succeeds in reproducing their defects
1t is impossible TO make her converse
so little does she know of what is 60
ing Oh in the world, SO completely ls
she absorbed in admiring herself and
criticising her rivals. The morality OF
the married ladies is, according to M.
Vasili, no higher than the standard
presented by the average French nov
eI. Ia short, Berlin society has, II we
accept this account of it. all the vices
of the Frehch society of She last CEN
fury, without the redeeming wit and
grace.

The manufacture of asbestos is like
" to become an industry of consid-
cradle importance in England, the
strength of the article being esti-
mated at about one-foprth that of
ordinary hemp rope of the same
diameter. Rope of this material of
one and a half inches in diameter is
stated to have breaking strength of
one ton, and twenty feet of it are cal
culated to represent a weight of thir-
teen and one-fouIth pounds. Some
of the purposes, as enumerated. to
which this kind of rope is especially
adapted are theatres, fire brigades ard
means of escapes from dwellings and
other buildings, its advantages being
that it will not break and drop its
burden if the flame bears upon IL. 1t
is made like ordinary rope. and is
spun from Italian asbestos thread.

A DEBT TO THE PRESS.

The Dallas Herald says, very truth
fully, that the daily newspapers of
the stata are ahead of the towns in
which they are published. Referring
to the two leading dailies OF Calves
ton and Houston, it says the two
papers issuei1 Ii the twd cities named
are the eqnai Of any journal pub
lished anywhere in the soutr. and far |
exceed many in several cities of
larger size. Sew York, With a popu-
lation of 1,250.G01, has only five morn
ing dailies. or one to every 25O,OOO.
Philadelphia, with a population of
10000, has but three, or ope to every
25O,OO0. Baltimote, with popula-
ton Of 100000 people, has but two.
Chicago; with BO0,C0Q, has but three
morning journals. Cincinnati. with
100000, has but two. st. Louis,
with over 100000, has but two.
New Orleans, with 10000, has but
two. Hundreds OF papers have
teep started in ttaSn cities but near
~ all have failed. Houston and Gal
weston combined have only about co.
600 people, and the conclusion arrived
at by the Herald is, taking the figures
given above, a population of 10000 IS
not sufficient to support two such
journals as the, News and Post, and
that sooner or later one Of them must
fail. As for that matter the Dallas
Herald and the Fort Worth Gazette
are such papers, as In the older states,
would not be published with profit In
community of less than 100000 in
habitants. while the combined popula-
ton of the two cities in which they
are published, probably, is, not 10000.
Either the Herald or the Gazette
would do perfect credit to any city in
any of the cid states. The Express,
of. San Antonio, is daily publication
worthy of existence in city OF over
$4,000; while The STATESMAN comes
up to tie standard ST similar
papers in cities Of six times the
size of Austin. In nc
city in Texas do the papers fall short
Of the requirements of the commune
ties in which they exist; publishers
are spending almost without exception
far mote mones for the credit OF
the communities in which they ISSUE
their papers than they receive; they
are engaged in untiring efforts to pop
ularize and enchance the standing
of the cities in Which they live, anC
those effoIts are in no case properly
appreciated. Take all those paper
and it Is plainly visible that the eredi
is all On the side of the papers, thu
debit, With big balances, being
on the side of the commu
mites in which these papers are pub
lished. To tell the truth, the newspa
pers Of Texas, owing TO some straDg
fashion prevailing among then, exist il
abnormal condition. They live upol
future hopes while the people aceep
their splendid offices without
thought as to expense of money ant
brains and labor in great popular
cause. The press of Texas has don
more towards increasing the growth
and prosperity of the state. toward
advancing its material interests, an,
its enlightenment and civilization
than all other agencies combined. TIL
day of their reward has been post
poned; great popular debt to tn

Mrs. Langtry has, it is said, ptr-
chased from the society of Associated
Artists, the famous rose curtains
which formed part OF the embroidery
exhibit in New York for the Bar
,holdi fund. The embroidery is exc
cuted on gold tapestry, and consists
of roses of every conceivable kind
massed in vases upon solid ground.
The drawing. the tinting, the shading,
are all perfect, and the absolute cor
rectness and marvellous grouping of
so great and varied collection render
the designs unique. The studies for
the WORK were maze in st. Augustine
by Mrs. G. Wheeler, who painted
every separate leaf and flower in oil,
50 that each one is a portrait. Five
months were occupied in executing the
embroidery. only two experts being
competent to the task. The rose"
curtains are, therefore. not liable to
be duplicated very soon. Mrs. Lang
tly has, however, ordered rose panels
to match, for room in her London
house which she intends to fit up as a
rose room, and which is to surpass
anything yet seen in the way of artis-
tic decoration.

Edward W. Fen, of Cleveland, Ohio,
after experimt nJih,g for two years.
claiIns TO have succeeded in perfecting
an invention which It's author ranks
with the electric light and telephone
The invention consists of taking abso-
lutte permanent pictures upon any
substance whatever having snooth
surface instantly by the action OF eiec-
trlcity upon sensitive coating, ana
at an expense not exceeding one cent
per picture. A reporter who called
upon the inventor was shown some
photographs on pieces of wood which
. were not only perfect in outline and
finish. cut possessed peculiar SOFT
ness not Obtainable by any other pro-
cess.
The Importance of this discovery,
said Mr.. Feb, land its various uses
can hardly be estimated. 1t opens an
entirely new and distinctive field in
the art of photography, and will work
a revolution in various branches OF
business into which it will enter more
or less. None of the present processes
ara used; and it is not intended to In
| terfere with the portrait work OF the
average photographer. The engraver
! upon wood, copper or shell need no
| longer consume time and patience in
| obtaining a defective counterpart OF
the object to be engraved, but instead
can at a trifling expense obtain a
| beautiful photograph directly upon
| the wood or the metal upon which the
engraving is to be made. In the lith-
| ographer's art it will be invaluable.
Instead of the slow, laborious and de-
fective process now. employed in
transferring by hand the article will
be photographed directly upon the
stone to be engraved, and the result
win be fine, complete, finished class
of work heretofore utterly uuobtalna-

And now once more the cigarette is

testimony that it produces the most

To RESUME OPERATIONS.


Colonel Shaugl,nessy Here to start Up
Work on the Eureka, Bay State, aud
Other Mines.
Ex.U United States Marshal Shaugh.
messy, of Utah, arrived from the East
last evening to look after some mining
properties in which he is interested,
and with the intention of remaining
here at least one month. He will stay
in Haley day or two, then 60 to
Bullion, Deer Creek, Ketcbum, vi.
emma, Sawtooth and Atlanta. While
at Bullion he will make arrangements
to start up work on the Eureka (which
he owns in partnership with Colonel
WaID and the Bay State group, and
will do more er less work in all the
districts aforementioned.
Colonel Shaughnessy says that the
Wood River region has now passed
the prospecting stage, and IS looked
upon III all financial centers as a re.
munerative mining region. This
years work will either confirm this
favorable opinion and fix it in the
minds Of investors for years, or partly
destroy it. And it is Colonel Shaugh.
nessy's opinion that the result will be
favorable.
