The correspondence begun in July
last between Pope Leo XIII. and the
emperor of China, has just resulted in
an agreement to establish papal legate
at Pekin and Chinese ambassador at
the Vatican. The pope began the ne
gotistions that have led to this very sig
nIficant result, which is in fact an
avowal OF China's official tolerance of
foreign religions. There are, according
to the estimates of the Bishop of Hong
Kong. 545, 900 native Christians II the
Chinese empire who have been convert
ed by Roman Catholic missionaries. 1t
was tor the better protection of the i'm
mense interests of the Holy See in
China that the pope desired to enter
into official relations with the Pekin
court. His Holiness had already reached
friendly understanding with the
Mikado of Japan, who, in October last,
assured the papal ambassador that Jap.
anese Roman Catholics should enjoy
from him protection equal 70 that
granted to any Of his subjects.

Waco, Texas. Feb 11.-Henry Tickle

engagement of chief horse thief in this
part Of Texas. His operations have ex-
tended over Dallas, Limestone, Free

His lawless enterprises have been uni

the farmers and stOck-raisers on the

sheriff of this county was appraised TO

Why do we celebrate the fourteenth Of
February as "St. Valentine day ," Who
was st. Valentine, and what did he
have to do with the fourteenth of Februa-
ry? A great many legendary tales are
told OF the origin of the custom Of send
ing valentines each year. Among
them we find the following beautiful
little story:
ain very early time it was customary
among the countries of northern Europe
for the young ladies and gentlemen 70
assemble one day IN each year, when
the names of the young ladies were
placed in q box and the young men al
lowed to draw therefrom one name, the
young lady thus drawn was to be his
valentine" and he was 10 show her
special attention for one year. 1t is also
said that these Imaginary engagemen,s''
often led them TO make real ones before
the expiration OF that time"
Thus it Is claimed that the custom OF
having one day in the year set apart fol
valentine Day" originated. Those
who advance this theory apparently
have better understanding of the sub
| ject than those who claim that the day
is celebrated in commemoration of &
departed saint. But no matter how OF
by whom started, the custom of sending
neat aud tasteful valentines with appro
pirate verses or notices, is an exceed
Ingly pleasant and agreeable one, o
which a large majority of the yeunI
people of the present day avail them
selves on the fourteenth of February o
each year.

Mexico.

There is little doubt that if the beauty
and grandeur of nature are sought by
the traveller, the means Of enjoyment
that he had not suspected are open to
him. So constant and so great are the
achievements of enterprise that they are
almost unobserved by us. Thus q 70.
cent address of Colonel Nelson, lately
Minister in Mexico. recalls the immense
changes in the condition of that country
and the facility of reaching It. You
may take the train in New York and

The report of the senate committee on
ordinance and war ships confirms what
most Uell-informed men have believed
all along. The country makes iron and
steel enough, the committeeman say, for
the purpose of peace; but IN order to
produce the best guns and armor much
new "plant" would be required. They
would have the government do some of
the work both in casting and in ship
building. What Is more. these experts
think the science of gun. making is now
far enough advanced to justify this ma
ton in going to work to cast lot OF
cannon of large size, without reason to
expect It to be pronounced comparative
ly worthless In few years.
