Views Of the Pope.

From an interview with the Arch
bishop Gibbons: cid it strike you that
the Holy Father was perfectly alive to
the wants Of Am, rican Catholics"
swell perhaps not quite so as to de-
tails. But since Dur arrival, as some of
us have had three and even four audi
ences with him he can hardly have failed
to learn a great deal. The holy father
is a man of rare and high intelligence,
grand and wide. reaching views, and
great literary ~attainments: He him
self is the writer of nearly all those adj
mirable encyclicals which have been is
sued OF late years. For the rest you may
judge of the character of the holy father
from a remark he once made to me: Il
am desirous,' SAID he, 'ofappealing in all
things to the good sense and reason of
the public
HE is a hard worker. Too often he
begins to give audiences at s o'clock In
the morning, and continues with scarce
ly any intermission for meals till s or 9
in the evening. Rhe holy fathers audi
ences are never ~periunctory. He does
everything thoroughly, and gives Cath
olics and non-Catholics like attention.
Perhaps he is a little more courteous to
Protestants than to Catholics. No; I
never had occasion to discuss the Roman
question with him. In our converse.
tions he naturally confined himself to
American subjects"
Have you ever detected any anti
Irish feelings in the holy fathers CONVEX
sation?"
Never. He loves Ireland, and, in
deed, ought to love her, for no other
nation is more true to the church,"

England's Rigid Marriage Laws.

From the Toronto Mail.
1t is sometimes stated. particularlysin
papers in the states, that the rigid mar
riaRe laws Of England cause much nm
necessary suffering. They may produce
individual cases Of unhappiEess that are
more conducive of benefit In the aggra1.
gate than the loose code across the line.
There is q case in point Mr.. Weldon
separated from his wife on the groundsS
OF incompatibility of temper. He Al
lowed her $500 . Ell, q furnished
house, and servants for her separate
maintenance; but this did not satisfy
Mrs. Weldon. She wanted her husband,
and applied to the courts TO have him
compelled to live with her. The courts
decided in her favor, held th1t he
must maintain the marriage relation or
GO to prison. Mr.. Weldon appears to be
. man of peace, and 1t seems hard that
he should be compelled. to live with
turbulent woman. But this very hard
ship will impress Ill England vita the
solemnity and importance of the mar.
riage contract. No one will be likely u
enter this relation lightly with the caeot
of poor Weldon before his eyer. Where
there is no outlet to . passage . man

a significant term for nearly everything

the types. Among the words peculiar
to the craft the word thirty" is perhaps
most often used and possessed of the
most meaning. "Thirty" is the end. 1t
is what "fnis" is to a book or death to

Summers First Meeting With
Greeley.

rE aaE4at4t NNE&E
The following amusing account Of
Charles Summers first meeting with
Greeley, never before published, Is give
an in the current number OF Every 9th
or Saturday:
Charles Sumner, many years before
he wal known in politics, sought the e
q~uaintance of Horace Greeley IN New
York. He found the journalist much
engaged, and was invited BY him to
ON to his house the next morning and
take breakfast. MI. Sumner was mot
an early riser, and he liked 3 good
breakfast when he did get mp. He
rather anticipated on in this case. AT
the early hour named by Mr. Greeley,
be- left the Aston House, toDk q stage
and rode several miles up Broadway,
and after much difficulty found the resi-
dence of his e friend at an old-fash-
Toned farmhouse, situated In the Eiddl8
Of an orchard between Broadway and
the river, where he was hospit-
ably received by the occu-
pant. After considerable con-
marked to his wife, who had come into
the room, that Mr.. Sumner would prob
ably like something to eat, She ex-
pressed a doubt whether there was any.
hing in the house, Mt which Sumner,
who was really hungry after his long
ride, was somewhat-well, surprised, to
say the least. why, mother said
Greeley to his vile, lyon must have
some milk, some bread and milk in the
house." She thought that it might be
so, and 800 appeared with a mug, two
bowls and some crackers, which she
placed on a bare pine table 3, and the two
incipient philanthropists ate their break
fast in peace. Anybody who knew
Sumner and his dainty ways in those
things can appreciate the situation. No
doubt it was the first and last time
he ever did Justice to bread and milk.
The friend to whom sumner
related this incident had s
feeling, which time rather strengthens
ed, that the older philosopher WAS
practising 9 grim joke on the gay and,
somewhat festive young maj from Bos-
ton. Sumner, however, never could
appreciate q joke. and considered the!
transaction q real one so far Is good
faith was concerned, although he re-
lated it with considerable glee. Per-
haps he had in his heart something Of
