Will He be a Canadian +?

BnSt"a Journal.
MONTREAL, Nov. 3O.-Roran
Catholics of Montreal and he
province of Quebec will f, II
elated tomorrow when they see
1t announced in the local press
that there is a possibility OF
cardinal Archbishop Tasche-
|4au' OF Quebec, becoming sue
cessor to Pope Leo XIII, as
ruler OF the Catholic world.
rms statement is based on an
interview with the Hon. Michael
Vidal, formerly representing
Louisiana in the American Con-
gress. MI. Vidal arrived here
from~OttaWa this evening, and
has but recently returned from
Italy. In an interview alludine
TO the great age of the Pope, he
said that there was IA consensus
OF opinion among Cardinals that
the next Pope must not be an
Italian. In Paris he spoke to
Cornelly, of the Gaulois, am au-
thorlty on Papal policy. Mr..
Cornelly found many Cardinals
at Rome i'll favor of Cardinal
Gibbons of Baltimore as Leo's
successor, believing that the
United States would support a
struggle for the restoration of
the temporal power. The OBJ
Jectlons to choosing a Pope from
any of the European States are
many, and of course the most
popular and least Objectionable
choice would be Cardinal Tas-
chereau of Quebec. Cardinal
Gibbons is not available, owing
to his representing a democracy.
Cardinal Taschereau however,
occupies a unique and strong
position as a British subject, and
yet one who would be regarded
by France as a Frenchman. He
would thus elicit the sympathy
and support of two powerful
nations. Cardinal Taschereau,
though of moderate views, is
sufficiently liberal to satisfy adj
vanced parties in Europe, and
it would not be surprising to
tnd Canada supplying the next
ruler OF the Catholic world.
[Mr. Vidal, above alluded
to, was a clever 'searpet-bagger,"
who got himself elected, after "a
very brief residence at Opelou-
sas, to fill an unexplred term in
Congress as a Republican. He
is Il Wg1i educated Frenchmall,
and was appointed by President
Grant =. S. Consnl at Tripoli.
Those who know him here ap-
peared surprised that he should
possess information ut all reli-
able on a subject so grave and
important.-EDe. N. O. City

Firing off a Mule.

% oAS SIOif SOCS, was III Cotl-
mand of a major of artillery who
was constantly lamenting that
his ~favorite arm could not he
more frequently used against the
Indians. Finally one day he
took one of the small howitzers,
which defended the fort, and
had it securely strapped to the
back OF an army mule with the
muzzle projecting over the
animals tail. With this novel
gun carriage he proceeded in
high feather with the captain
and a sergeant to bluff on the
bank Of the Missouri near which
was encamped band of friend
ly Indians. The gun was duly
loaded and primed, the fuse i'll
serted, and the mule backed to
the edge of the bluff. The ma
jor remarked something about
the moral effect the exhibition
was likely to prodtr e upon the
Indian allies, and steplnasyia gayly
forward and applied the match.
The curiosity of the mule was
aroused. He jerked his head
around to see what was fixing
away there on his neck, and the
next second his feet were all
punched together and making
forty revolutions o minute, while
the gun was threatening every
thing under the canopy within
the radius of ten miles with in
slant destruction. The captain
Skinned up to the only salvation
tree. The sergeant threw him.
self fat on the ground, and
tried to dig a hole with his
bayonet to crawl into, while the
fat major rolled over and over
i'll agony alternately invoking
the protection of Providence,
and cursing the mule. Finally
the explosion came, the ball
going through the roof of the
fort. The recoiI OF the gun and
wild leap of the terrified mule
carried both over the bluff to a
safe anchorage at the bottom of
the river. The discounted party
returned sadly to the fort.
Shortly after, the chief Of the
Indians appeared and announced
briefly: "Injun 60 home."
Questioned as to why, he thus
explained: ''Injun very brave +;
help white man. Injun use gun,
use bow arrow, use knife but
when white man fire off whole
.jackass, Injun no-understand,
think right. Injun no help UNI
fight that way."-Ex. : y
The Chinese Government, I'M
der the impulse of offended
dignity, is materially aiding our
Government in getting rid of
the Chinese who have gained a
foothold in the United States.
A proclamation has been issued
by the Imperial Government of
China calling upon all China
men to return home; declaring
that in view OF the recent anti
Chinese bill passed by Congress
it would be undignified for any
self-respecting Chinaman to re-
main in this country. The Chi
nese government also offers to
pay the return passage of all
Chinese who have not the means
to pay their own passage. No
doubt the United States govern
ment is perfectly willing to do
the same thing. The Chinese
government, unfortunately, cam
not enforce compliance with it's
proclamation, and while no
doubt we will get rid of some of
them, a large majority will pre-
fer to remain i'll a land where
their condition is far better than
that of their brethren of the
same class in their native land.

TIE farmers OF this parish are
each year gradually reaching II
better and more independent
position Gin the world. And
they are doing this not so much
by large cotton crops as by di-
versified farming, raising more

more at home. This f@the only
way that farming can Re made
a success. So long us we made
nothing but cotton and had our

There is no reason why our

vANDERBILT's NINE RESIDENCES.
The Last is the Newport Villa for
When He Paid S25O,OOO.

When He Paid S25O,OoO.
Clara Bellies Letter 10 Philadelphia Press
A quarter of a million of dollars has just
been paid by William K. Vanderbilt for
the villa and grounds hitherto belonging to
A. G.. Stout at Newport, and the next
neighbor on one side of the place is William
Aston, and on the other William Waldorf
Astcr. This trifiing bit of architecture and
land is bir hday gift by Vanderbilt to his
handsome wife. He now owns no less than
nine residences, ranging from hunting
wilds of Scotland to the exquistely civiliz d
corner Of Fifth avenue and Fifty-second
street. Each establishment is complete in
itself, with fine furniture and all the outfit
necessary to luxurious habtation. TT ere
are servitors in charge who keep every
thing almost ready for the arrival of their
master and mistress, who bring with them
personal menials sufficient to fill out the
complement.
Everybody who has been to see the man
sions built by the late William H. Wander
bilt for himself aud his two daughters,
with their families, knows that the struc,-
ures occupy the whole Fifth avenue front
between Flfty-first and Fifty second streets,
| and most visitors have noticed the enor-
nous stones which form the sidewalk. These
blocks of granite reach from curb to area
rail, and are proportionately wide. II he
| city home of M s. William Vanderbilt is on
the corner just across Fifty-second street,
and it is more orname ltal, with its carved
granite, than the larger piles of brown
| stone. But the 200 feet of sidewalk border
ing the two sides of the premises were com
posed of flags not remarkably big, although
rather better than the Fifth avenue aver
age. The whimsical young matron did not
| choose that her sister-in-law neighbors
should be better off than sue, even in what
they tread on in transit bet tween portal and
| carriage. Therefore she has ordered her
sidewalk torn up and replaced by the big
gest flagstones ever qnarried They will be
about 30 feet square each and a foot and a
half thick. The difficulty of getting out
such tremendous blocks and the cost of
transportation will make the price rather
more than 81 900 apiece by the time they
are laid. To realize the extravaganza, one
has only think that the money paid for
every one of these stones would build a
pretty house in the country or buy a con-
siderable farm. Nevert eess, as not less
than 96 per cent. of the outlay is for labor,
isn't it better for many poor people that
this very rich person should want thai kind
