The Doves of Venice.

One of the most charming and well.
known sights of the city of Venice.
says a writer in The Portland Trans.
cript, is the innumerable flock OF doves
that, when they hear the stroke OF
o'clock, flutter down into the Plazea
San Marco to receive their daily dole
of grain This privileged race OF doves
has been domesticated In Venice since
the year 877, and until the downfall OF
the Venetian republic these little pen
sioners were maintained at the expense
of the governments Since that time
they have been cared for according to
a bequest made in their favor by a be-
nevolent lady.
Who would believe that these doves
have twice appeared as plaintiffs IN
lawsuit In 1884 in a suit concerning the
appropriation of the doves b1 various
individuals, for purposes OF sale, 1t was
decided that the birds were res nulllus
the property of no one in particular
and hence the property OF any person
who might take the trouble to eaten
them. The consequences of this decis-
ION was immediate and obvious. Inc
poor birds had no peace OF safety,
and were in a fair way to lose tneir
trusting tameness, the happy result o.
centuries of friendly intercourse with
mankind. They began to fear tne
Venetians bearing gifts, and soon
learned to suspect a snare under every
handful of grain. J.
Fortune willed it that the subject q
the ownership of the doves OF st. Marx
should again be brought before tns
court, and the first verdict was cor
rected. The Judge decided that It was
not a case Of res n%ullius, but that On
the contrary, the doves Of Venice are
domesticated animals, and also, ~
common consent, public property, ana
intrusted to the care Of the citizens.
Hence it becomes, he concluded, inc
duty of every Venetian to guard anu
care for these doves, not appropriae-
ing them to his own use, but as tno
wards and ornaments OF the city.

"THE EYES OF ELEANoRA."

CFrom the dim regions beyond the mountains, 8
the end Of our encircled domain, there Crept out
barrow and deep river, brighter than all save IN
eyes Of EleanOIa.-Edg n A. PoeJ
As the light Of a star Is found,
BY day, in the sunless ground,
Where the river Of silence lies,-
SO the spirit of beauty dwells,
o love, in the mimic wells
OF thy large and luminous eyes.
As out of a turbulent night,
A lost bird turns to the light
OF a d~esolate drCamers'S room
So, forth from the storm Of thine eyes,
A passionate splendOr flies
TO my soul, through the inter-g!oom'
As a lily quivers and CLEANS,
All night, by the darkltng streams,
That dream in the undCrlands,-
So up from the haunted lakes
OF thy shadowy eyes, Love shakes
The SHOWS of her beck'ning hands.
As clusters Of new worlds dawn,
When the infinite night comes on,
In the measurlcss, mOonless skies,-
So the planet Of love burns high,
0 sweet, when the day sweeps by,
In the dusk Of thy orient eyes.

Mr.. Gladstone In his review of the
Irish question stands squarely to the
plan which has marked his every
move, since he threw himself into the
work In such a jealous fashion. The
review contains fifty-eight pages, and
while during the intensely warm
weather, it would hardly bear read
ing in its entirety, yet the extracts
from it are of the sound practical
sense, which has won for them the title
of the "grand old man."

Ever since the departure of Rev.
Father Belts of Trinity church, st.
Louis, there has been lack of har.
mony among the members, which Sc
riously threatens to disrupt the church.
1t is bad thing when a church al.
lows any spirit but that OF christian
ity, to have a place beneath its roof,
and the results cannot be measured.
In the first place, there is the hard,
hateful feeling which arises among
the members, and embitters all their
acts toward each other; in the second
place, there is an apathy which comes
from lack of fellowship in promoting
and building up the interests of the
church. and last, but indeed not least,
there is that influence upon a com.
munity, which is dangerous in a pro
nouneed degree. The church is
known to harbor discussions, the
wording observes the weak spot, and
the sheer is not wanting; it should be
looked upon as refuge for all ills.
but as it was in the temple, it has
been made eden of thieves" and
those who would have sought its
peaceful shelter, are chilled, and 60
elsewhere. Truly, when church
permits chickering's and dissensions to
enter beneath its sacred roof, it adj.
mits the arch enemy of mankind him.

The suicide of John L. Campbell,
a prominent citizen of Kansas City,
who, APPARENTLY, had no motive for
the deed, save the one of remorse for
an over indulgence in strong drink,
recalls the fact to mind, of the fire
quency of suicide. Every few days,
some prominent mau takes his own
life, and without any apparent reason,
save some temporary trouble which,
if bravely met, could be easily con,
quered. There is, for the moralist,
much food tor reflection in this suici.
dial mania, and it would appear that
the one great civilizer of humanity
namely, Christianity, had not &C.
complished much in certain directions.
No humble. self sacrificing christian
can, for one moment, indulge in the
towards last resort, suicide, because,
no matter what may be the troubles
of earth, the christian does not wish
to shut himself out of a heavenly ref.
uge under any circumstances, and
hence, the only remedy against this
terrible epidemic of self murder,
seems to be the further spread Of
Christianity. With this ballast fol-
all the ills which flesh is heir to, there
is, nor can there be, but little dan
ger to humanity from suicidal incli
nations.

The Alleged Civil-Service Order

There must be some mistake in re-
gard to President Cleveland's order
designed to regulate the connection or
office-holders with politics. There is
bare possibility that the alleged or.
der is forgery, or that it was issued
by Mr.. Daniel Lamont in the absence
of the president and without his con.
sent. The reason for this suspicion
is that the postmaster of Philadelphia
and many other Federal Office-holders
in Pennsylvania would not have Ia
ken such an active part in managing
the recent democratic state conven'
ton at Harrisburg had they known OF
the existence Of such an order. The
order ought to be reissued and accom-
panied by official evidence of its au'
thenticity. philadelphia Record.

neck to punish him for disobedience.
Had he merely tied him up to show
him what could be done in case of an

ection might have been forgiven, but
when he brutally left him there to die
there was Nervousness about the act
