Gen. j. ID. Kennedy to-day had
pleasant interview with the President
relative to appointing Gen. Kennedy
consul general at Shanghai, China. Tho
President as usual was pom committal,
although he did not discourage the ap-
plicant. On the contrary he remarked
that Gen. Kennedy appeared to be the
best endorsed man for the place, and
Representative Hemphill feels quite
confident Of Gen. Kennedy's early ap-
pointment. All Of the South Carolina
delegation have, it is said. endorsed
him.

The Confederate Seal.
fredericksburg, Va, News. }

(rreuericSsOurg, Va, News.)
When the Southern Conredcracy was
about to collayse-after Richmond had
been evacuated-as the vanguard Of the
army was about leaving the city-a raid
was made upon the Government builG-
ingS. The Confederate archives, which
were aftcrward sold t.. the United States
Government, had been taken away, and
nearly everything Of value had been
either carried off or destroyed. Col.
John Il. Pickett who had charge of the
remaining forces, found the great seal
in the capitol building. and not wishing
it to fall into the hands Of the enemy,
put it into his pocket.
/ After the close o: the war Col. Pickett
went to Mexico, taking the seal with him
where he remained for some years, and
amassed considerable property. Re-
turning to this country in 1872 he sttlcd
in Washington City. and commenced the
practice of law, where the writer be-
came acquainted with him, and learned
this bit of the history of the seal We
saw the seal in the possession Of Col.
Pickett on more than one occasion>
In 1873 Col. Pickett conceived the
idea Of turning this valuable treasure
into blessing to the widows and
orphans Of the Confederate States,
Accordingly he had quite number Of
fac similes of the seal made, some in
gold and some III silver, nicely mounted
and put in handsome case. The gold
ones were sold at II and the silver ones
Mt rs. The proceeds Of the sales were
placed in the hands Of a large firm at
Washington, to be distributed among
the widows and orphans Of the late
Confeaeracy. He also wrote a little
book, giving history of the "Great
Seal Of the Confederate States" as we'll
as Of Great Britain and other countries,
(and which we had the pleasure of
printing and binding for him,) the pro-
| ceeds of the sales Of which were put in
the same channel.
From this book we learn that the seal
was received in Richmond just before
the Confederate Government was forced
to leave that city. The seal, which was
solid silver, with ivory handle, was en-.
graved by Mr.. Joseph 8. Wyon. chief
engrayer Of her Majesty's, seals London,
England, and, with it's fixtures, cost
fl22 los. Only some three or four i'm
pressions we're ever made with the, seal
after its arrival in Richmond.

REVEREND EDWARD McGLYNN.

Reverend DR.. Edward McGlynn has won
much publicity by his open advocacy Of
Henry Georges theories, which are said
to be opposed to teachings of the Catholic
Church, and he has been summoned to
Rome to explain certain Of his utterances
in the recent campaign. DIR. McGlynn has
declined to say much in regard to the mat
ter, as messages from the Vatican always
allow a reasonable time in such cases for
the priest to set the affairs of his parish in
good running order before departure. DR..
McGlynn is very popular with the wide
circle of his parishioners, and the opinion
of most of them is that the Pope will send
him back to his parish without even rep
rimand. DR.. McGlynn once made a
speech in Cleveland, Ohio, that brought
him in collision with his Bishop. He was
a student of the Propaganda, and he took
an oath to uphold the doctrines of the
church, which it is now thought, by the
higher authorities, that he is infringing
upon by delivering his speeches in favor
of the recent labor movements which are
disturbing the elements of both Church
and State. DR.. McGlynn has no fear of
any serious results from his call to Rome,
for it can he easily urged that priests have
taken part in politics in Europe, most
prominent parts in England. France and
Italy, and in Ireland especially, and that
even Popes have been politicians.

MRS. TEMPLE REVIEWS HER CONDUCT.
The labors of the day were over. The
whole assault had been planned. In her bed

was reviewing her forces, measuring their
strength, settling the order in which they
should advance.

Happiness as It Is in Youth and Maturity.
Isn't it little queer that as we grow from
youth to manhood the objects change which
bring us pleasure9 The amount OF happi-
ness realized varies but little2 There seems
to be a certain amount of the article implanted
in us; no more, no less. The boys sled gives
place to the richly caparisoned sleigh, the toy
house to the imposing residence, the toy
watch to real one, the toy boat to an ocean
yacht-but the first yielded quite as much
pleasure as the last.
The Christmas gifts and pleasures of youth
brought as much happiness as houses and
lands, honors and fame do in after years.
Our happiness is all relative, anyway. We
enjoy by comparison. The boys sled is big
enough to fill his mind. The mans yacht is
merely toy, which has its use for time
and then ceases to amuse. Christmas is
reality to the young-a definite pleasure
point To the full grown boys and girls it is
an attempt to arouse the old enthusiasm, the
belief in Santa Claus. the enjoyment in gift
giving and gift receiving. 1t comes and goes,
and they try hard to persuade themselves
that they enjoyed it with an old time zest
