ton with the elevation Of Archbishop

Count Stanislaus Muccioli, the noble
guard from Rome, arrived. The noble
guard Immediately advanced to the arch
bishop who arose from his seat. He made
courtly bow to his grace, and without
introduction Of any kind whatever, adj
dressed him briefly, telling of his mis-
sion. At the conclusion of his address
the papal guard removed his helmet and
handed the archbishop letter. The
archbishop broke the seal and handed 1t
TO Father Foley, who stood facing him ut
the side of Count Muccioli. Father Foley
read the letter in the language in which it
was written-Latin. Translated it reads
as follows:

by the papal guard, and read by Dr.

The Philadelphia Ledger of Thursday
says There is much activity displayed by
the men who are at work on that portion
of the route of the Baltimore Il Ohio rail
road which runs through this city. At
some points of the line men are lahoring
during the night with the aid of electric
lights, in order that the tunneling may
be finished as soon as possible. The stone
approaches TO the tunnel, which is TO ex-
tend along Twenty-fifth street in the
vicinity of the park, and thence along
Pennsylvania avenue, have already been
built, while the abutments to the struc-
ture, beginning at Callowhill street, have
been completed for distance of several
hundred feet to a point above Hamilton
| street. A number of girders have been
extended across the abutments, and il is
| expected TO have them all placed in no.
sition in n short time, so that n roadway
may be laid upon itandthus open Callow-
hill and Hamilton streets 20 the public.
From the end of the abutments TO Spring
Garden street the roadbed of Twenty nth
street is being excavated, 30 that blasting
is frequently necessary. Mr.. Usher of the
firm of Drake Il Stratton, who have the
contract for building the road from Fill
bert street to the intersection of Twenty,
sixth and Paramount avenue, says that il
is very difficult to force bystanders to re-
tire to safe distance when &
blast ia about TO occur, in spite
of all that is said to them. Tn,
work of excavation is going on above
Spring Garden street, one section ofEth,
street below Green street, about 100 fee
in length, being dug out sufficiently t.
allow of the tunnel being constructed
along that distance. Walls of the TUNE
have been erected along Pennsylvania
. avenue just below the intersection o
3 Paramount avenue, where preparation
were being made yesterday to set tn
arch. Mr.. Usher expects that the part o
the road which his firm contracted t.
:, build will be finished by October LIST. l
is said that the section of the arch cross
ing Pennsylvania avenue at Fairmoun
avenue will be constructed as speedily a
e possible, so that the crossing can be use
= as formerly. The work of building til
u upper end of the tunnel and its az
/ proaches is also being advanced undo
u the supervision of j. j. Ryan, the col

A SHORT FIGHT.
Paddy Welsh of Chicago, TOO Much
for Arthur MaRustY.

for arthur MaRusty.
Chicago, June I9.-Paddy Welsh of Chi
cago and Arthur Magusty OF Streetor fought
to n finish, Marquis of Queensbury rules,
last night. They wore kid gloves and fought
for stakes of $500 side and the gate re-
ceipts. The fight took plnee in cellar on
the north side and was seen by about go
sporting men. Welsh weighed 1874 pounds
and Magnsty 1870 pounds. In the first round
Magusty succeeded In getting several heavy
blows on Welshs chest and sides, but Welsh
began short-arm lighting and compelled
Alagusty to abandon the aggressive and
fight only on the defensive. Magusty was
staggered twice almost before the first min
ute had elapsed. Welsh soon gave Magusty
u terrific blow on the side of the head thnt
knocked him Off his feet. He re-
mained on the ground q few seconds
seemingly unable to get up. When he arose
Welsh jumped forward and delivered several
hard hits with both fists. Alagusty was
bleeding slightly ut the nose, both eyes
were black, the right eye threatening to
| close, and there were three slight cuts upon
| his forehead.
The blows were inflicted on Magusty's
head so rapidly that he could not defend
| himself, and lie went to the ground again.
| For the fourth time he was knocked down,
and when tlme was called he was bleeding
| profusely from the nose, and his eyes and face
round Magusty again attempted the oflen-
| slve, but two heavy hits knocked him over
and from that moment he was whipped
| He lasted until the end of the round, how
| ever, although he received seven knock
| down blows before 1t was finished. Then
he crawled on all fOurs to his corner, tore
of his gloves and gave up the battle.

The latest sham, according to the Phil
adelphia North American, is artificial
bananas. They are said to be turned out
by factory in Germantown, which is
also credited with making bogus peanuts
and two or three other articles. The re-
porter did not learn much about the
modus operandi, but he was informed
that the edible portion of the bananas
was composed of a pulp made chiefly
from potatoes, Hour and clay. He quotes
his informant as saying:
didn't see any sign of flour around, but
there was quite pile of not very savory
looking potatoes, and then there was very
suggestive heap of clay twice as big rs the
pile OF potatoes. Perhaps that Is only used
In preparing the peanut shells, but | saw a
man dumping half barrel of 1t into tub
from which l was short time afterward
given a taste of banana pulp. II was then
In rather thin state, but they told me that 1t
dried out to the proper consistency after
the skins were filed with 1t. Now, these
skins are of somewhat peculiar cOlor-G
little grayer, perhaps than the genuine
article, but very bright and pretty looking
when they are finished. The last
touch Is put on by means OF dip
ping Into clear liquid that re
sembles varnlsh, but smells very muel
like banana. The peanuts are made iron
the same pulp, except that II is ilavore,
differently and made much drier ant
harder. Then they are dipped to put III,
skins on, then dried the shells built arount
them by rolling in u trough, and drying Il
the sun finishing them. You can't tell tn
difference in taste or appearance from tn
genuine article. The banana skins, wa
told, are made of paper pulp, with admiS
ture of certain articles which give II Il con
slstency very much like the genuine article
And then the dipping ] told You abOu
after they have been filled, finishes thel
with the exception of putting them on tn
stems, which Is done in II very neat wa!
The only trouble about them Is that the
harden when they grow Old, but us the
keep much longer than real banana
there's but little danger OF their being four
out In that way. Oh, it's great busnes
tell you.

The statement of the receipts and dis
bursements Of the recent Jones. Small re
vival engagement, published in the Balti-
more papers two or three days ago, shows
profit of some 1880 for the especial
benefit of the so-called evangelists. Out
of this 81, 500, it is stated, the Rev. Sam
Jones, who appears to be the paymaster
of the troupe, is TO remunerate his coad-
jutor, Sam Small, and ''his assistants, y
whoever they may be. II, after doing
this, 81, 500 or even 81 900, of the money
remains in Mr.. Jones' pockets he will GER
tAinly have no cause to complain that his
months work in Baltimore has not paid
him pretty well.

In accordance with late foreshAdowings
OF the policy of the party here the Repub-
lean executive committee of New Castle
county has.resolved to place no ticket for
sheriff and coroner in the field. While
doing this the committee is reported to
have expressed ''the fullest confidence
that the Republican party had an un-
doubted majority of the voters in the
county and city, but that under these
partisan election laws il would be impos-
Aible to qualify the Republicans to vote,
and under the outrageous manner of
holding the elections practiced in the
lower wards of this city it would be i'm
possible 10 obtain an honest result even
il the majority of votes in the boxes
should prove to be Republican"
OF course such stuff as this deceives no
one. The election laws, or rather ASSESS
ment lave, the payment of a poll tax
being constitutional requirement, have
been unchanged since 1873, since when
two Republican sheriifs have been elected,
and there never has been an election char
acterized sin the lower wards of the city"
by such fraud, corruption and bulldozing
ss obtained in the Seventh ward under
Republican control. Had the county ex-
ecutive committee of that party put forth
a strictly honest declaration it would have
run something like this: "Knowing that
the Republicans are now in a minority in
this county and that the election of a
ticket is not in the wood, we have con-
cluded that it would be sheer waste of
funds this year to pay the poll taxes of
our 5000 colored allies"
The census of 1880 gives New Castle
county something over $1,000 inhabi-
tants, of whom over $4,000 were colored
The ratio to the population of the votes
cast in the presidential election of that
year shows that at least ZOO of the Z ,72t
votes which Garfield got in this county
must be credited to colored men.
II certainly does not lie in the moutl
of Republican committee to talk Il
voters who for so many years walked Il
the polls between lines of armed deput,
marshals and deposited their ballot
under the scrunity of partisan 'supei
visors" who sat at the elbows of the cleo
ton officers, of ''the outrageous mamie
of holding elections

The Baltimore u Ohio Relief Associa-
ton, which is now being carried into
effect among the employees of the Philadel-
phia branch, appears TO he fundamentally
Objectionable on the same ground that
formed the strongest objection to the
relief scheme which the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company tried to establish
that it is compulsory in its nature. It is
all right to require railroad men, those
who are actively engaged in railroading
as distinguished from mechanics and
laborers employed in the construction
and repairing of rolling stock and other
purely shop work, to be physically sound,
for in their case human lives may at any
moment depend on the keen and perfect
eye or the quick and strong arm, but why
should it be necessary, in addition, fol
them to become members of any so
called relief association?

The Baltimore Morning Herahexplains
that the zucchetta or berettina, presented
to Cardinal Gibbons Tuesday, is only
one of the three head coverings connected
with the insignia of the office. The zuc-
chetia is a badge of the temporal power
sppertaining to the cardinalate. II is n
red skull-cap of cardinal silk, surmounted
by small button with a tassel hanging
down at the back as far as the shoulders
of the wearer. The word zncchetta means
helmet. On the 30th inst, the silver
Jubilee of Cardinal Gibbons ordination
as a priest, he will be publicly invested
by Archbishop Kenrick of st,
Louis, with another head coy
ering, the beretta, which is n
square scarlet cap, with projecting cor
ners rising from its crown and usually q
tassel in the middle where the corners
meet. The broad brimmed cardinals hat
which is the highest distinguishing mari
of the office, is almost invariably be
slowed directly blythe Pope and cardinal
who have not visited Rome have, as
rule, never received it. In about year
time Cardinal Gibbons will go to tina
city TO receive this dignity from III
hands of the Pope in person. ..5..

Kentucky,s Turnpike system.

Kentucky is famour for its good roads,
and below are some interesting facts con-
corning the road system now general all
over the State. The man who began the
Improvement there was that famous old
Presbyterian, DIR. Robert j. Breckinbridge
He COMMANDED by going to see his neigh
bors along line of road. His plan was to
land WORTH" When told he would say
Well, how much do you think macada-
mized road would increase the value of it ~
Being told $40 or $15 an acre, he would
close in by saying: Well, suppose you
subscribe TO company we are forming to
build road to the amount of, say So an
acre of your farm" In this way private
companies were formed. The roads cost
$4,000 mile, of which the County Court
of each county, after it was satisfied that
the private company was composed of re-
sponsible citizens, subscribed on behalf OF
county to the stock to the amount Of 81 200
q mile. The roads were built, toll gates
puts on them, and the stock paid the county
and the stockholders o dividend. In this
way Kentucky has become gridironed with
metaled pixies. Now look at the result OF
this; Taking four counties in Kentucky, all
rather small ones, Montgomery has 80 miles
of metaled pike; Clarke, the adjoining
county, has $50 miles; Fayette, which
joins that, has $50 miles, and Barbour, the
next county to it has 800 miles nearly 500
miles of macadamized road in four counties
What has been the result IL increasing
values? Remember, they are all small
counties The real estate in Montgomery il
assessed at "a, 900, 600; Clarke, 90 600, 900
Fayette, $4,000, 900. An increase of valu,
which is the direct result of road building

The flowers planted In the flush Of spring,
Have budded, bloomed, and withered long ago;
The grain my lavish fingers used to throw,
Long since was reaped for others garnering;
Yet am rich amid my nature dearth;
MY gold Is where the rainbow touches earth.
My wealth is molten OF fun many an ore,
Dug from the sacred cavern OF the past
Stored where the Presents quiet light Is cast;
Piled In the Promise-land that lies before.
All blent together, all OF priceless worth,
All hid just where the rainbow touches earth
And Memory, Faith, and Hope its guardians are
As holding Loves strong hand make my way
Knowing near little every day
The one syre goal where, passing DER the bar,

Ny Treasure where the rainbow touches earth
