FROM Rome comes tho report that tho
Patriarch of Constantinoplo has repu.
dated the religious authority Of the Car
Of Russia and acknowledged the Pope to
be the head of the Christian faith. If
the report Is true the occurrence will
create profound sensation in the Catho-
lie and Greek churches. By virtue of the
antiquity and historical associations of
his see the Patriarch of Constantinople
is regarded with perhaps greater degree
of veneration than that accorded to any
other dignitary of the Greek church.
Time was when he was the head of H.,
but the greater weight Of authority now
probably rests with the Russian division,
owing to the temporal power of the Car
and his nominal position as protector of the
Greek church everywhere. 1t is reported
that the Patriarch will go to Rome, where
his coming will be marked by all the
splendid and pompous ceremonials which
may we'll be hold appropriate to SO i'm
portant an occasion. 1t may DO that his
church will regard the Patriarch as an
spostate and refuse to follow his lead In
which case his reported action will be
shorn of much of its Importance. II
however, his course is Endorsed by the
church in Turkey, Servia, aud Roumania

Whatever may have been tho case IA
'ther cities II is q gratifying truth that the
growth Of Washington during tn past
year has been steady, continuous, and of
the most substantial character. Tho ma
tional capital Is already one of the most
beautiful cities on the face of the globe,

more pronounced and general throughout
our country that II Is TO become tho most
desirable place to reside in permanently.
The Outgrowth Of this feeling brings to

and pOpulous to permit any general knowl-

Upon tho basis Of inhabitants to each

to 1880, and strikingly shows tho greatly
increased attractive power the city now
exercises upon those seeking a congenial

1t is worth while to note that this great

The Boston woman who proposes to es-

which American parents more generally
neglect and If there could BIO law ex-
Guiding from the public schools all chill
dren with dirty and uncared-for teeth it
might lead to some wholesome results.
But there really is no more reason for
paying peoples dentists bill for them
than for paying their doctors bills, or
their butchers and bakers and tailors'
bills. There is too much of this misap-
piled charity already, whose inevitable
effect is to diminish self-respect and tho
sense of responsibility and SO to promote
genteel pauperism. This free dentistry
idea is a very carieature of foolish benev-
olence,-Philadelphi Times.

A NEW YEARS GALL.

The soldier in his parlor sat,
The lights were burning dim;
The signs the sleeping city sent
SCARED heavenward like hymn:
While scents of flowers upon the air
Faint music DER the way

That brought the New Years day.
The past, his past of stirring days
Rose round him like dream;
The battles din, a fiery blast.
Flashed like a saber's CLEAN;
The stirring house" the senate hall,
While, like phantom dim,
One house with pillared porticoes
Shone meath the stars TO him.
The silver salvers piled with cards

Stood silent In the lofty room,
Mute witnesses and fair

And then those honest. earnest eyes

"Ah WELL" he said, "the hearts of riends,
The clasp of kindly hands,
Are worth the scepters and the crown $,
The wealth of many lands,
And when VIC both shall sleep the iylS iep
That comes 10 each and all
May that best gift of LOVE be ours
That crowns this earthly ball !"
Hark on the stair the footballs fast
Come trampling stout and strong,
And steady as the chorus comes
That marks the stirring song;
As through the opened door they ONE.
