SaIted Meats.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-Attorney Cen
eral Garland has furnished an opinion to
the Secretary of the Treasury, in which he
holds that salted meats, which are exported
with the benefit of>a drawback of duties on
foreign salt, used in curing meats, are en-
funding of the drawback. This
opinion applies particularly to the case
of the Anglo-American Pork-Packing
Company, of Chicago, which recently ex-
ported large quantity of pork cured with
foreign salt, upon which they received a
drawback. The meat not finding a ready
market abroad, was reimported, and under
the decision made by Secretary McCulloch,
the company was required to pay duty on
both meat and salt as foreign goods.

tween the Uruguayan Government and
the Vatican is imminent, owing to orders
from the Government for the arrest of
priests who preach against the Gov
ernment's attitude in regard to

come under the ban of the law, and merit
punishment by imprisonment, and has con-
sequently directed priests not to preach in
any church upon any subject. Tfs Bishop

displays much zeal and indus,rv
as an organ-grinder, he should
try his skill on less dilapi-

GYPSY AND QUEEN.

BLESSED is the life of the solitary,
for they live under the protection of
God.
The beatitude in question, if thus it
may be termed-why not call it simply
''blessing?' quoted from one of the
very Oldest litanies, still employed,
however, occasionally, in the ritual OF
the Greek Church.
The words in question still rang
plaintively, and also dreamily, in the
ears of the dark Muscovitish woman,
now vending her way silently on
ward.
She had heard them only that morn
ing chanted-al although in Selavonic, rs
a matter of course-in that curiously
ancient church in Moscow that called
1.-The Little Ascension occupying a
small circumscribed corner at the low
er end of the Chernichefsky Perevuloh,
and they had not ceased to haunt her
wellnigh ever since. Why? it may be
asked
Perhaps She, too, was alone, as are
so many other women in this wide,
however beautiful, world.
Alone-as God and themselves alone
know how. Only that He helps such.
Have not the words already been sung,
and also placed above, that He protects
them?
The woman now quilted the long
road lying Immediately past the spac-
ious barracks by the side of which the SEN
try duly kept his patrol, pacing up and
down resolutely, as if already stoutly
resolved that no foe whatever, whether
in the shape Of Turk or anything else.
should, at any rate during his special
reign, invade the garrison
She had turned sharply to the right,
quilted, as it seemed. with q sense OF
keen relief, the wellnigh scorching, III
paved way. and glanced wistfully and
gratefully toward the broad and spark
ling river, now lying all at once within
view.
The burning heat had indeed bid fair
throughout the course of the day to
eneyvate and weaken every one-''no-
blen as well as now emancipated seri
yet tenanting ''holy Moscow
Yes. this was freedom indeed. Here
in, also, was a sense of blessed how
