A FOREIGN correspondent of the New York
Herald while in Rome short time ago, in
terviewed an archbishop of great influence
at the vatican, upon matter that now agi-
tates the Catholic world, that of the removal
from Rome of the Pope. In reply to di-
rect question upon possible departure the
archbishop said: ~ see nothing to keep Us
here. Gowhere she would the church would
be safer and more respect-
ed than in Rome. We may yet ask the hos
pitality of the United States. l am sure il
your country accorded it to us we should ba
freer than in Italy. Here we are entirely at
the mercy of our enemies. We have nothing
to hope oft government. We hold the vati-
can itself only on sufferance, for the law of
guarantees merely gives the pope the right to
Occupy the building. At any moment he
might be elected"
The pope, he proceeded further to say,
keeps his views to himself, but when car
dinal he then favored the proposition to leave
Rome. Now that he is pope he viii undoubt-
ly remain at the vatican so long as human
endurance will permit, or, to use the arch
bishops own words, ''as long as it is human
ly possible" That sooner or later he will
have to leave 1 foresee clearly" He does
not believe that papacy would lose prestige
by leaving Rome. The pope has denied that
he intends to go to Monaco, or that he has
written to the Emperor of Austria on the sub
ject. But that the matter is one that at the
present gives gravest anxiety to the vatican
there is no doubt Whittier shall the head of
the Romish church flee viii not be known
however until after he has taken his depart
ure from Rome.

CARL ScHURz came to this country from
Germany in 1913, as refugee, political
exile, having been engaged in some civil
outbreak, some scheme of reform. He was
arrested, and put in prison, but by some
adroit means escaped and came to this
country, where by his brilliant genius and
talents he has won political distinction. He
has been United States Senator and Secre-
tary of the interior. After retiring from the
last position he was engaged on the editorial
staff of the New York Egeniag Post, the poet
Bryant's old paper. But he was too indie
pendentin his character to long retain that
position. He would not consent to become
the tool and creature of moneyed corpora
tons and mOnopolists, and he was sent
adrift in his old age, with comparatively
little means. A number OF wealthy Germans
in New York proposed to raise a fund of
$1,000 and present it to their admired and
respected countryman, as prop and solace
in his declining years. No difficulty was ex
perienced in raising the money, and it had
been nearly all paid in, when Mr.. Schurz
learning of the proceeding, wrote to the
treasurer of the fund, expressing his heart
felt gratitude for the kindness of heart that
had inspired the movement but
firmly declined receiving the ben
efaction, on the ground that
he could not receive what he had not
armed. His kind friends were greatly sur
prised, but admired the more the nobility of
character of their friend whom they had
sought to benefit. How splendidly does this
contrast with the action of Ulysses S.Grant,
who has received almost innumerable and
costly benefactions, refusing nothing that
has been offered and greedily holding out
his hat for more. In this age of shabby gen
teel beggary and corruption, when men If
they do not positively steal, send their souls
to the devil for very small compensation
| (probably more than they arc worth) this ac-
ton of Mr. Schurz is conspicuous for self alb
negation, a sign of great elevation OF
of character How nobly does this con-
trast with the trucking servility of public and
private men tothe corrupting and oyergrasp-
ing money power of the present
time. Whatever may be thought
of the politics of Carl Schurz and however
Carl Schurz may differ with him in political
views, it must be admitted that he is a high
minded and an honest man, and one of thou
sand, if not one of million in this age OF
venatity, malfeasance in puplic office and
dishonesty in private life.

THE cHURcHYARD BY THE SEA.
A MEMORY.

Across the waste of years see
One spot forever soft and green,
Which shrined within my memory,
In evening glow or morning sheen,
Tells of the golden, vanished years,
When smiles came oftener far than tears,
A churchyard by the restless sea,
Where, in deep, calm and dreamless sleep
The dead lay resting peacefully,
Unheeding the tempestuous deep;
Careless alike of sun and breeze,
Or ebbing of those changeful seas.
And oft when shipwreck and despair
Came TO the little sea-boat town,
Pale women, with dishevelled hair,
To the wild shore went hurrying down.
And tenderly dead eyes would close,
And smooth dead limbs for long repose.
Full many weary storm tossed wight,
Year after year in quiet was laid,
Safe from the clustering storms ofnight,
In this green spot, and undismayed,
Slept close beside the breakers roar,
Whose wrath should mar his rest no more,
And over each housekeeping head,
Where thymy turf grew green aud soft,
The wild bee hummed, and rosy-red
The brier-fiower bloomed, and up aloft,
The feecy clouds went drifting by
Like shades, across the summer sky.
And ever as the years 60 by,
And one by one old memories creep
From out the sweet Past solemnly,
1 seem to see, beside the deep,
That little, lonely, silent spot,
With many childish dream enwronght,

THE Council of the Church of England
Fun eral and Mourning Reform Association
have issued a statement in which they urge
among other reforms the avoidance of ex
cess in the use of flowers at funerals, the
disuse of Grape and scarfs land other matters
of expense. They are of opinion that excess
in funeral observance among working-peo-
nile has often led to absolute want, followed
in my cases by permanent pauperism, and
that this excess is one of those evils which
have helped to bring about the recent APP
peaIs on behalf of the distressed poor. The
same evils exist in this country to great ex-
tent, especially in our cities. This reform,
especially as touching the expensiveness Of
funerals. is one of the most difficult to be at
tanned or even attempted, owing to the pc
culiar delicacy of feeling which accompanies
bereavement, and to the desire Of surviving
friends to pay respect TO the departed at any
cost. With the poor the temptation to in
dulge in display in the matter of funerals is
even greater than among the rich, while
those who are in moderate circumstances
often compelled by custom to go to greater
expense than they can afford or would ap-
prove. Between the doctors and the under
takers it is costly thing nowadays to be
i'll and to die.
We would not advise the organization of
new society for such purpose, but if some
of our wise and influential men and women
would secure change in the matter Of bur-

ial expenses and mourning customs and
costumes, it would be and incalculable bene-
fit to large portion Of the present and Of
each succeeding generation. 1t is in some re-
spects melancholy theme for discussion,
but it has its brighter side and deserves
more serious consideration than it has re-
ceived.

EASTER MORNING.

Ostera! spirit of spring time,
Awake from thy slumbers deep!
Arise and with hands that are glowing
Put off the white garments of sleep!
Make thyself fair, o goddess
In new and resplendent array,
For the footsteps of Him who has risen
Shall be heard in the dawn of day.
Flushes the trailing arbutus
Low under the forest leaves
A sign that the drowsy goddess
The breath of her lord perceives.
While He suffered her pulse beat numbly;
While He slept she was still with pain;
But now He awakes-He is risen
Her beauty shall bloom again.
oh bark. in the budding woodlands,
Now far, now near, is heard
The first prelusive MARBLE
OF rivulet and of bird.
Oh listen the Jubilate.
From every bough is poured,
And earth in the smile of spring time,
Arises to greet her Lord.
Radiant goddess Aurora.
Open the chambers of dawn;
Let the Hours like garland of graces
Encircle the chariot of morn.
Thou dost herald no longer Apollo,
The god of the sunbeam and Tyre;
The pride OF his empire IS ended,
And pale is his armor of fire.
From loftier height than Olympus
Light flows, from the temple above,
And the mists of old legends are scattered
In the dawn of the Kingdom of Love.
Come forth from the cloud-land of fable,
For day in full splendor make room
For 4 triumph that lost not its glory
AS il passed in the sepulcher gloom
She comes the bright goddess of morning,
In crimson and purple array;
Far down on the hill-tops she losses
The first golden lilies of day.
On mountains her sandals are glowing,
Der the valleys she speeds on the wing,
Till the earth is ali rosy and radiant
For the feet of the new-risen king.
Open the gates of the Temple:
Spread branches of palm and of bay;
Let not the spirits Of nature
Alone deck the Conqueror's way.
White Spring from her death-sleep arises,
And joyous His presence awaits,
While mornings smile lights up the heavens,
Open the Beautiful Gates.
He is here the long watches are over,
The stone from the grave rolled away,
1--WE shall Sleep" was the sigh of the midnight
''We shall rise - is the song of to-day.
o Music. no longer lamenting,
On pinions of tremulous flame,
Go soaring to meet the Beloved,
And swell the new song of His fame.
The altar is snowy with blossoms,
The font is a vase of perfume,
On pillar and chancel are twining
Fresh garlands of eloquent bloom.
| Christ is risen! with glad lips we utter,
And far mp the infinite height
Archangels the paean re-echo,
And crown Him with Lilies of Light.

The New York San is authority for the fol-
lowing statement Mrs. Walter Odell Of
sapleton, Staten Island, died at 3 o'clock on
Tuesday morning of last week. A Scotch ter
rior, Fido, had been her pet for twelve years.
During the two months of her Illness Fido
remained beside her bed. After her death
he persisted in lying beside her coffin. He
followed it to the hearse, and tried TO jump
inside the hearse. When the procession
reached the grave Fido was there. After the
funeral he took up his former position beside
the bed lately occupied by Mrs. OdeIl He
refused to eat, Two days ago he found
pair of shoes that formerly belonged to Mrs
Odell but had been thrown out doors. These
he look up in his mouth and carried to his
seif-assigned post near the bed and, placing
the shoes on the floor, laid his fore paws and
head across them, in which position he re-
NAMED several hours. During Monday night
he reused the household by his mournful
cries. At O'Clock on Tuesday morning, ex
actly one week to an hour after Mrs. Odelps
death, Fido died beside the bed, his head and
paws resting on the shoes.

assertion will remind the reader of the mod

he had done the world any service, it was

THE Congregation of the University OF
Oxford have decided by vote of 100 to 46
that women shall be allowed to present
themselves for University examinations.
The statute must be approved by the Uni
versity Convocation before it can become
final; but no doubt is expressed that the
measure will be adopted by the latter body.
1t is a marked triumph for the cause Of high
er education for women.
A BILL has been reported in the U. s.
senate to secure the collection Of statistics
on the subject Of Divorce. There is no social
question of greater importance ut the pres
ent time than this. The marriage relation
has ever been acknowledged among civilized
people as being at the foundation of all
moral and social order, but in our day it has
come to be treated with great levity, to say
the least. Whether the General Government
has authority to pass general marriage laws
and to control the matter Of divorce, or
whether this can be done only by the State
Legislatures, has been questioned by some,
but there can be no objection to the action
proposed 10y Congress- and we hope that i'm
portant results may come from its action.

THE question of the marriage of de-
ceased wife's sister is, again about TO agilale
the British public and to be prolific theme
of discussion and excitement in parliament.
The billremoving the restriction to the mar
rage of a deceased wife's sister has more
than once received favorable consideration
in the House of commons, but has as often
been defeated in the house of Lords mainly
owing to the opposition and hostility OF the
Bishops. who er-0ficio, hold seats in the up
per house A writer says: ''Ihis great So
cial and semi-religious measure will once
more band together the Bench of Bishops,
and once more, too, suggest to the popular
mind that ii would be much better for the
Right Reverend Fathers in God to attend
to their duties in the house OF the Lord rath-
err than mix themselves up in mundane mat
ters in the House of Lords. Increased eff
forts will be made for the removal OF the re-
striction in which hundreds of thousands OF
DeoDle are interested. If the existing law alb
soluteIv prevented marriage with a deceased
wife's sister, it would be entitled to some re-
spect: but when it is found that many such
MARRIAGES are contracted it becomes ques-
ton whether public expediency, as well as
nature, does not demand the alteration which
the bill seeks to secure. 1t is computed that
the English act of Parliament Of 1S35-ren-
dering the children of certain marriages
within forbidden degrees Of kindred valid,
and prohibiting marriage with deceased
wife's sster-has bastardized nearly half a
million of persons. Docs public or social
policy Justify the existence Of a law produc-
tive of such calamitous consequences! One
by one the British colonies have abandoned
the restrictions. The Dominion of Canada
still n ominally under British control, has
given them up. Her Majesty's sanction has
been accorded by formal royal assent to
measures for legalilizing the marriages in
question What is legally right in colonies
and dependencies can hardly be morally
wrong in the mother country. Even in that
mother country the elected representatives
of the people have repeatedly approved con-
cession. This question viii not rest till the
unjust and indefensibe opposition Of the
bench of Bishops is overcome.

a BLOW at gambling was given by deci-
sion in the Virginia Supreme Court of APP
peals last week by compelling witness to
testify in a case against the keeper of faro
bank. The opinion of the Court was as fol-
lows: IA witness who is called by the Com
monwealth to testify as to violations Of her
laws within his own observation may always
assert his constitutional privilege and i'm
munity from prosecution and punishment
for his own implication in the unlawful act
as to which he is compelled to testify, but
the courts of Virginia will not recognize the
Spartan morality which deprecates not the
preparation but only the exposure of the
crime.

ANOTHER famous old landmark Of New
York is to be wiped out. The once celebrted
st. Nicholas Hotel is closed, the furniture sold
at auction, and the building is to be devoted
to other purposes. The st. Nicholas was.one
of the wonders of the times in its day. 1t
was opened about the time of the Worlds
Fair, in 1854, and shared with the "Crystal
Palace" the wonders and curiosity Of mill
ions. It's bridal chamber, its gorgeous par
lors, its stupendous size, and its famous fres-
Goes and decorations were the glory of the
metropolis. The hotel has made great deal
of money, but of late years the march of
progress cup town" robbed it of its patron
age and forced upon it the character of
third class house. It's site is too valuable for
business purposes to be occupied by cheap
hotel, and now it is closed.
