Wednesday, April 80, 1884.

Last Monday evening mass meeting
was held in New York City to protest
against the act Of the Italian government
in sequestering the real estate of the Pro-
paganda. At this meeting Chas. A. Dana,
ex-postmasterJ James, and numerous other
nentProtestants, gave their presence
and influence. Mr. James made n speech,
in which he denounced the act of the
Italian government as robbery. 1t looks
very much, taking the story ofthe friends
of the Church, as though the act were
unjust and to be condemned; but the side
of the Italian government has not been
fairly presented as yet, and there may be
some extenuating circumstances, at least.
The speakers at this meeting failed to get
hold of one excellent illustration of the in
justice of ''sequestering" property. With
in few blocks of where their meeting
was held was magnificent Catholic calhe-
dral, built on land belonging to the city
worth millions of dollars, and leased to
them perpetually for the nominal sum of
one dollar per year. Near by were also
numerous catholic schools, hospitals, re-
formatories, &C., used to propagate Ca
tholicism, and kept in working condition
by the sums appropriated by obsequious
city authorities from taxes levied upon
the taxi payers of New York city. Per
haps the reason the speakers did not cite
these illustrations of sequestration was
because it existed right under their noses.
They could make more votes for them
selves by pitching into the Italian govern

special devotion to the welfare of the
soldiers aud their families. He devised
and carried into effect several practical
and important measures in their behalf

ed in this State, and that other claims of
the soldiers were secured. Mr.. Ward had a
large-hearted philanthropy, which sought
and obtained many channels of beneficent
activity. In every respect Mr. Ward
made good Governor. Not the first
shadow Of scandal or improperly attach
ed to 1t, and even rude criticism never
ventured to assail it. IIe was a pure,
patriotic and high. minded chief magis-
trate, whose administration will always
constitute one Of the cherished traditions
of Jerseymen.

representative OF BOLLES BROS, said
There is no denying the fact that KINsEY S
Tonic Is n medicine OF wonderful merit. A num-
her my customers say that during this oppres-
sye June weather KINsEY's Tonic produces a
magical effect. In speaking of the prices of the
Tonic more than one customer here told me that
they would not be without the medicine If they
had TO pay five dollars bottle for 1t. One gentle
man enthusiastically declared il was worth five
hundred dollars bottle. From personal knowledge
can say that of customers TO whom have sold q
bottle of kIgsEY's Tonic many have returned and
purchased more and in every instance declared
that the medicine was having beneficial effect up
on them. Yes you have my permission to publish

Reasons for worshipiDg the white ele-
phant-The extraordinary generation of
cred by the people TO the white ele-
plant in the land of its capture, is ira
ditional superstition of ancient date. 1t
is portion of the general reverence, a.
mong Buddhists, of white quadrupeds.
The fact that the white elephant is found
only in Buddhist countries, and but rare
ly even in them, probable gave rise to the
belief that it must be the temporary abode
of some mighty Buddla in his progress
toward perfection. In the Pail scriptures
it is duly set forth that the form under
which Buddha will descend to the earth
for the last time will be that of beauti-
full young elephant, open jawed, with the
head of the color of cochineal, with tusks
shining like silver sparkling with gems,
covered with splendid netting Of gold,
perfect in organs and limbs, and majestic
in appearance. See the wonderful creature
in Forepaughs Great Show at Trenton,

Young maidens strew the elephants
path with flowers when it goes abroad
Trumpets and drums and a large retinue
precede 1t to the bath, whittier it is con-
Quoted with large red umbrella held
over it by some of the highest dignitaries.
Young maidens strew the path with rarest
flowers which it picks up at will, first
smelling them by virtue oil its passionate
delight in perfumes, aud then conveying
them to its mouth, where they are to be
sacrificed to the grosser sense of taste.
Save for this occasional bath, however, it
rarely leaves its palace cell, except upon
great feast days, when it always heads the
procession. And SO profound is the Indo
Chinese belief in omens that an unusual
grunt from this potentate is quite suili-
cient to interrupt the most important
affairs, and break the most solemn engage
ments. He can be seen at the Great Fore
pangh Show, at Trenon, Monday, May 8.
