more troops are being modified for

ITALY'S OPPORTUNITY.
ROME, February lit is stated that
the Government is prepared to send
$4,000 troops to the Soudan. All po-
litIcal parties express warm sympathy
with England and the strongest desire
for close alliance. 1t is very evident
from indications put out in all direc-
tons that the Italian statesmen see an
opportunity for Italy now to assert for
herself position among the first
Powers Of Europe.

Moody In Richmond.

RICHMOND, Va. Jan. 5.-Mr. d. l..
Moody, the popular evangelist, on Mon
day began a series Of meetings, which
will last ten days. In spite of the
charges that Mr.. Moody had traduced
and DETAINED the characters of General Is
Lee and jackson in . ,rmon deliv }. cd
in New York several years ago, his
first meetings to-day were the largest
ever held in Richmond. These charges
have been the subject of very anima-
ted and in some instances bitter news.
paper discussion for the past week, and
1t was not until Mr.. Moody had public
ly denied them that many people were
convinced Of their falsity.
In a published letter over his own
signature Mr.. Moody further says:
regret the report for the sake of
any who may be offended or hindered
thereby. 1t is hardly necessary for me
to say that it is wholly false. never
used the illustration nor said anything
against the moral character of General
Lee or General jackson. 1 could never
have done 30, for 1 have always held
the men in high honor as Christians and
gentlemen.

Glrard College.

1t is scarcely probable that Stephen
Girard, when he made his will be-
queathing eum of money for the pur-
pose of founding C lltee for boys
whose father g were dead, could have
conceived the immmense proportions it
would attain, or tie vast number 1t
would shelter ard educate in the
years to come. The annual report to
the City Councils Of Philadelphia
shows that there are now 1,13O pupils
in the college, and 443 applications filed
for admission.
During last year S474, ,774 90 was used
for the maintenance of the college,
among the items ofexpense being S1OS,.
54S 30 for subsistence This great chari-
ty has and no doubt will ortiuue TO
be the means of doing a vast deal of
good, and there are now men who are
useful citizens, and adorn the profes.
sions they have chosen, whose lots
would have been cast in less pleasant
places, had 1t not been for the parental
care provided for them by the philan-
thropic Stephen Girard.

An Aged rbfef.

A few days since, man named
Henry Absendorf, 50 years Of age, who
has for long time belonged to the
army Of bums," was arrested in
Philadelphia for stealing sausage from
the Girard avenue market. He was
taken before Magistrate Becker, who,
on account of his tender years, dis
charged him with a reprimand. 1t is
terrible to contemplate what that man =
fate will be when he grows older, unless
he forsakes his evil ways. From the
