Chicago com to tho front with a new
wrinkle, and u very ugly one. A boarding
house keeper of that city compelled an I'M
pecunious father TO pawn his daughter. In
other words, the parent left his child in the
boarding house as security for an upaid bill.
and, as he is unable 10 raise the money, the
woman who runs the house refuses to let her
depart. 1t must be very undesirable kind
of father who, under the circumstances, can't
raise money, but that does not prevent the
new departure in pawnipg from being a
pernicious one. 1t might after a while ex-
tend to wives, and in the course of time
lovers, who are often impecunious, might
be required to pawn their best girls. The
movement ought to be nipped in the bud.

A most remarkable story Of trout fishing

locality the fish are quite plentiful when the

The Jubilee Dav.

The dispatches indicate that the celebra-
ton of the jubilee of Pope Leo XIII. in tho
Vatican was one of unprecedented magnih-
cence. It is said that $500, 900 was expended
in furnishing the Vatican and in prepara-
ton Of the superb musical programme for
the mass. The occasion was well worthy of
SO large an expenditure. The Catholic
church has greatly increased in material
wealth since Leo Kill became Pope. His
influence has been felt in hundred ways,
and in all parts of the Christian
world. He possesses great intellectual
power, and knows how to use il to the best
advantage for the promotion of the great
interests committed to his care. The sound
ness of his Judgment has been shown in
more than one instance in cases in which
his advice and influence have been sought
in the affairs of nations.
The career of Pope Leo XIII. is remark
able for the uninterrupted successes
which mark it. He has succeeded in
about everything he has undertaken.
which shows that before taking any i'm
portant step he carefully considers every
thing that has any bearing upon it. On
though his appearance is venerable his
mind is as clear and strong as it was when,
as Cardinal Pecci, he was chosen successor
of Plus IX, on March 3, 1878.
His education for the priesthood began
when when he was eight years of age, in
the Jesuit college at Viterbo. He was soon
transferred to the Jesuit college at Rome,
where he quickly made bis mark
as brilliant scholar When
he was 26 years old he was appointed prel
ate to the household of Pope Gregory XVI,
and he is the only one upon whom such
distinction was ever conferred at so early a
period in life. A few months after his APP
pointment he was formally ordained
priest, aud in celebrating his first mass be
was assisted by his elder brother Joseph

From Congress to the GOVernorship
Although the first session OF the Fiftieth
Congress has just begun, and the members
have not had time to settle down to bust
ness, there is said to be disposition on the
part of some half-dozen Congressman to
abandon law making and give their talents
a trial i'll an executive capacity. Mr.
Glover, Of Missouri, who a year ago mar
ried handsome and rich Young Washing
ton lady, says he wants TO be Governor of
his State in order TO bring up his
children under Missouri influences Mr..
Lodge, of Massachusetts, is a favorite with
the younger element Of the Bay State, and
is toying in a half reluctant, half consent
ing way with those who wish to put him
forward for the Governorship. Likewise
MIR. McAdoo, OF New Jersey, who thinks
MIR. Randall knows lust little more than
any other living man, is willing to exchange
his seat in Congress for the Executive Man
sion at Trenton. and Mr. Stewart, Of Yer
mont, who was Governor of his State back
in the seventies, is said to be casting furtive
glances at the old love.
Messrs. Burrows Of Michigan, and But
terworth of Ohio, are also numbered among
those who would not object to the swap. but
it is urged that if both of them were to leave
the House the same year the old members
would scarcely know the place, and the
rafters of the building would no longer en-
joy an occasional shaking up from the re-
verberations Of these two statesmen's thun-
dering tones. Whether Mr. Blount. of
Georgia, may be included i'll the list is not
stated, but. there is said to be movement
on foot to transfer him to Atlanta.
1t is no uncommon thing for Congressman
to leave Washington and take up the duties
of Governor. or the two positions, the
former is probably more pleasant to most
p-blic men, and the pay is frequently
better The Office Of Governor however, is
looked upon as a stepping-stone to higher
honors 1t is net unusual for Governors to
be placed on Presidential tickets, and it is
possible that one or two of the gentlemen
named above have their eyes on
the Vice Presidency. The most fire.
Quent promotion from the Governorship

A considerable number of Governors have
in the past stepped from the executive man

ling Of the present members of that BODY
have enjoyed the same promotion Gov.
Taylor, OF Tennessee, fiddled his wav into
Congress and then competed successfully
with his brother for the Governorship, from
which he hopes TO enter the Senate. Hon.
j. Proctor Knott, who used to amuse Con-
gress with his speeches, was elected Cover
