DECORATING A HISTORIC CHURCH.

A Remarkable Picture of the virgin Set in
Frame of the PuFest Gold.
New York Sun.
Prince Alexander Torlonia an old mill
iOnaire, has paid for the new decoration
of the old church on the northwest cor
ner of the Piazza San Bernardo. The
church was built in the sixteenth centu-
ry, 1t was formerly called st. Paul on
the Quirinal. In the beginning Of the
Thirty Years war the Catholics defeated
the Protestants, led by the Palatine Elec-
tor, Prince Frederick. A CaTmelite monk
aided in winning the battle by display
ing along the imperial lines a picture of
the Blessed Virgin which he had found
in the ruins of a church pulled down by
the Protestants. His name was Father
Dominic. Gregory XIV. permitted him
to place the picture in the Church of St.
Paul, belonging to his order, AID the
church was named Ste. Maria della Wit
toria. It is one of the pTettiest churches
in Rome. 1t contains statues from the
chisel of Bernini and paintings from the
brushes of DOmenichino Guercini and
and Guido ReniThe high altar was de-
stroyed by fire in 1888. Prince TOriOnia
has now repaired the church, decorating
it with rich marble, beautiful frescoes
and admirable sCuccOes. One of the fres-
Goes represents the triumphal entrance
of the Catholic army into Prague. The
most conspicuous figure is the Camehte
monk carrying the miraculous picture of
the Virgin along the lines, thus arousing
the courage of the outnumbered Catho-
lies. They had $4,000 men pitted against
100000 Protestants. The coloTing and
composition are wonderful. The beauti-
full picture of the Virgin is again placed
on the high altar N the center of mar
BILE decoration. It has a golden frame.
Cardinal SacObini, titular Ofthe church,
reconsecrated it on the 18th. He cele-
brated mass at the new altar. Prince
TOrlonia, with beaming face, assisted
at the ceremony. The churches Of Rome
are filed with the richest monuments of
his generosity. He is spending $1,000
every year, in the distribution Of prayer
books among the poor.

A correspondent of the Baltimore
american found General Grant at Long
Branch the other day in his library,
hard at work on his History of the
Siege of Vicksburg," and drew from him
the following incident of that famous
time: ''The order was given" said Gen
eral Grant, ito fire the mine, and imme-
diately after the fuse blaZed brightly, a
terrific explosion occurred, and human
beings were seen to shoot high in the
air. Some of them fell to the earth f ar
fully mangled, while others, wonderful
it is to relate, fell back alive, but with
terrible wounds. Among those who es-
capped death was a robust celOred man
who had been engaged on the Confeder-
ate side as a miner. He was in the mine
at the time the order to fire was given,
but had not reached deep enough when
the explosion took place, and, Ia cOnse-
quence, he was blown high into the air.
He fell on a pile of earth unhurt. lie
wa first taken into my headquarters,
where he gave the officers present full
information about the construction and
location Of the Confederate shaft and
his experience while In the air. When
asked how far he thought he had gone up,
he said: "Oh, Lord, o massa, 1 went Us
bout three to i've miles, but done
thank the Lord He landed me within
the Yankee lines" "Gen. Grant was"
adds the correspondent, IN cheerful
mood. In his labors he is assisted by
his son, Col. Frederick Grant"

An Indian Election.
Curious Campaign and Election in an In.

fTecoms. Nsbrasks. Lsdrsr.l

(Tecoms, Nebraska. Ledger.)
Monday was election day at the Puyallup
reservation. The officers to be chosen were
head chief to succeed Tommy Lane, the
present incumbent, and four sub-chief or
members of the reservation council. Per
sons unacquainied with the customs and
laws governing Indian affairs have but little
comprehension of the extent aud power Of
the council II sits as a court, and from Its
decisions there seems to be no appeal. It
would be hard to define the limit of it's legal
powers. 1t can aud does afix penalties
which the laws and courts of Washington
Territory do not warrant, and they are scru-
pulously applied. For instance, a French.
man was brought before the council for
loafing around the agency for dlshonorng q
squaw. He was sentenced to receive fifty
lashes and have his head shaved aud deco
rated with tar aud feathers. He was tied
10 the flagstaff and the fifty lashes vigorous
ly applied, after which the head shaving
and tar and feathers came off.
The Indians had previously held a cancus,
made speeches, nominated candidates and
made canvass of the tribe. Singular to
say. the issue was Republican vs.. Democrats,
the tribes having divided i0to parties bear
ing these names. The Republic ,ns had dec
oraltd the Flagstaff with banners on which
were inscribed: "HUrrah for Blaine and
Logap," Republican victory" "Our Coun-
ny Must Be Free Forever" At the top of
the staff h0sted the stars and stripes, and
patriotism was everywhere manifest. The
Republicans game the victory by the cleo

Mans and Woman's Brains.

1t is difficult from these facts to avoid tha
conclusion that the mind must also be DIFF
felent in the two sexes-not necessarily that
one is superior to the other, but that they
are different. In some respects that Of man
excels, in other respects that of woman pre-
dominates. Il would be bad state of af-
fairs for mankind If the mind In the two pri-
mary divisions of the human race we're the
same. In barbarous nations, as we have
seen, the difference in size is less than 1t Is
with civilized peoples, and as one conse-
quence of this fact we fnd that there is not
so great d ference in mental development.
The work of woman with these is almost
the same as that of man. Her mode of
life, her dress, are not essentially different,
except in SO far as they must be different on
account of her sex. But with civilized ma
lions there issvariety in modes of thought
and in other mental characteristics, in occu-
patton, In manner, in dress, so that the dif-
ferentiation between the sexes is far more
distinctly marked than it is in the nations
low in the scale of progress. Who can doubt
that this is the direct result of difference,
not only in brain but in other parts of the
nervous system? 1t appears to me therefore
that while the education OF a woman should
be just as thorough as that of a man, 1t
ought not to be the same. The two sexes
move along paths that approach parallelism
at some points of their course, but they can
never travel exactly the same road till they
have nervous systems presenting exactly the
same anatomical confguralion and struc-
ture.-Dr. Hammond, in Popular Science
Monthly.

Young Spurgeon.
[London TRUTH


The Rev. Thomas Spurgeon, of New Zea-
land, who gave lecture on that country at
the Metropolitan Tabernacle one day last
week, seems to have the same happy knaek
of combining worIdIiness with godliness and
his father, and there was capital "busiuest''
between them. Mr.. Spurgeon, junior, play
fully remarked thai the New Zsalanders
were "by no means the outlandish people
some imagined, for they had all the best
products Of civilization, Including sewing
machines, steam iIamSays and Spurgeon's
sermons" Mr.. Spurgeon, senior, returned
the compliment by cong atuating the good
people Of Auckland on having pastor so
like himself -A man, above all things, who
was "not overburdened with retirement,
which is thing not cultivated here" with
which remark the hat was sent round for
subscriptions toward a new tabernacle at
Aukland, of which, needless to say, Mr..
Spurgeou, junior, is to be the pastor.

Where the Passport Still Flour


Russia Is now the only country where the
vexatious passport system is still maintained
in all its absurd rigor. You can't enter Rus

can't leave it without one. When you got

by the police. Wheo you have made up
your mind to leave St. Petersburg, or wber-
ever you may be residing, you must inform
your landlord, who will in turn communi.

the customs officers examine your luggage
at the frontier IS "a caution" Remember,

We deem it our duty TO announce to the people eff

in the last As hours conceived new scheme for
THROWING again into dispute he result of the lee
tion in our stats For many days after the election
they, in entire bad faith claimed for he Republi-
candi ate several states which they knew they
had not carried and in same bad faith, when every
source of Information, Guiding th. Associated
Press has demons rateti that the vote of New York
has been given to the Cleveland electors, they sill
claim the state No fact of history is now better
known thau that the results of the election
tanned, declared and certified TO by the election Off
GERS and of The public record throughout the State
give New York to the Cleveland electors by de-
c,sive plurality. These pubic certified returns
have sif ed in several counties by both parties
wi the most conscientious care during the last
four days. until every possible doubt to the result
has been removed Knowing this fact, they now
propose, as last desperate resort, make OF the
boards of county canvassers throughout tho Stale
where controlled by them, so many returning
boards, after the pattern of tuose not long nee
used by them in Southern States, and whenever the
boards fail them judicial ders are 10 be applied
for; thus, relying upon the parisanship of he
boards in he first place, aud the judges OF their
own p iticai faith in the second, they iutend and
expect to throw again into dispute the results Of The
election, aud involve an Intern nabe litigation. To
this end printed papers have been sent by them TO
their agents and repres entatves every county in
the State of New York, to be used with the courts
whenever occasion can be manufactured. Of the en-
tire reliability of our Information this
scheme there can be no question: aud we call upon
tho of the party in the various cou-
ties of the State TO be alert and by every proper
method to resist AMI defeat this last desperate de
vice and mindful of the grave consequences to the
business interests of our state which such con
conspiracy necessarily involves, we deem it our
duty to assure our people who have generally
acquisced in the re ut that they may confidently
rely by such scheme device Nill the State
be deprived of the result of its deliberate choice

cared by the State Board of Canvassers, not
because they are Democrats, but because they
