Time brings many compensations. Ma
poleon Bonaparte, to the scandal Of the
whole Catholic world, imprisoned Pope Plus
VII; and now comes the granddaughter of
the great Emperor. Mr.. Charles J. Bona
parte of Baltimore, and argues vigorously
the extreme claim that the Pope should not
only be bodily and spiritually free, but that he
should be above the sovereignty of the coun-
try in which he resides. 1--WE demand
said Mr. Bonaparte in his paper read before
the conference at Baltimore, mot that he be
granted privileges as though he were a SOW
ereign, but since he is and always must be
sovereign, his existing rights as a sovereign
be respected. 1t is not for parliament of
yesterday to confer a patent of honorary
precedence on the successor of the Fisher
man" In short Mr.. Bonaparte agrees with
the Vatican that the Pope should be tenn
poral as well as spiritual sovereign. 1t
may be interesting to examined just what tie
position OF the Pope is under the Italian
government. The "law of the papal guaran-
tees" passed by the Italian Parliament of
1871, defines with great exactness the status
oil the Pope. His person shall be sacred and
1nyiolable as is the person of the King of
Italy; the palaces Of the Vatican and the
Lateran and the Papal villa of Castel Gan
dolfo are the Pope's and are not subject to
taxation or the right of eminent domain; the
AFFAIRS Of the Papal See are exempt from po-
ice visitation or espionage; the Pope has a
special postal and telegraph service; Catho-
lie educational institutions of an ecclesiasti-
cal nature are not to be interfered with in
Rome; and the Italian Parliament annually
approprlates $G5o,ooO for the use "of the Holy
Father" No government could do more TO
show its respect for a venerable head of a
church. But this very display of respect
implies sovereignty; and the Pope aspires to
be sovereign himself in.temporal as we'll as

We think there is no need of the States ex.

now have Pennington Chronicle.
1t is the testimony of every Massachusetts
paper and every prominent Massachusetts
man who has spoken on the subject that the
Australian system is preferable to the sys-
tenn which has been in vogue in that State
q system which was identical with our
system. Why then does the Pennington
Chronicle allege that the Australian system
is no better than the present system? Is the
judgment of a paper which has not seen il
tried to be preferred to one that has? Does
the editor of the Pennington Chronicle who
has not seen it tried, know more about the
system than DO the editors of the Boston Ad-
vertiser, the Boston Journal, the Boston
Post, the Boston Herald, the Boston Globe,
the Boston Traveller. the Springfield Repub-
lican. the Worcester Spy, and dozen other
papers who have witnessed it in operation ?
They all testify that it is great improve

The good results Of the Republican victo
ries In the recent French elections were not
limited to post election comments. The adj
vantage bids fair to be lasting and continu-
Gus, as is shown by the present disorganiza-
tion of the Right, or Monarchist section of
the Assembly. Hitherto the Right has
maintained an attitude of uncompromising
hostility to the Republic; and has openly
awaited its downfall. But the results of the
elections were so signal that now even the
Right has divided, part only continuing to
oppose the Republic, while the remainder
accept 1t as an accomplished fact. Probably
the Monarchists will In the future not be
the most formidable enemies OF the republi-
can form of government. In the ranks Of
the Republicans themselves are many intern.
perate leaders who are capable and seem dis
posed to make trouble enough however.

Natural Enemies Of the Snake.

Other animals are natural enemies OF
the reptile tribe, but the American eagle
is known to be the most savage and
fearless foe of the deadly rattlesnake.
Besides preying upon birds and small
animals, the eagle has a relish for ser
pents and also gathers them in as food
for its young. On one occasion, while
party of gunners were out on the noun.
tains they espied an eagle several hun.
dred feet in the air slowly winging its
way toward distant pine forest. When
directly over them the men fired several
shots at the bird and were greatly sur.
prised to see it drop what they supposed
to be large eel. Going to the spot
where it fell, the men were startled at
the sight of full grown rattlesnake al
most lifeless, but still squirming among
the fern shrubs. The snake was badly
torn by the eagles talons and having
been severely shaken up by the fall it
was easily despatched with a club. At
another time an eagle was seen to rise
from the summit of high rock. Sud
denly the bird began to futter one OF
its wings and fell to the ground below
the rocks, making rapid descent oi
about 100 feet. Three or four coal
prospectors who had witnessed the singu.
lar affair ran to the scene and found the
eagle and rattlesnake locked in deadly
embrace. The rattler had thrown Wig
orous coil around one of the birds wings,
and down the contestants came together,
more dead than alive. One day near the
middle of last August, log cutter heard
a terrible racket among his chickens
while in camp enjoying his noon repast'
Getting up hurriedly from his rough
board table he went out to an old log
stable from whence the noise proceeded,
and was astonished to find that an old
hen in defending her little "chicks" had
picked the eyes out OF four-foot rattle
snake. The other chickens took no part In
the fight except an old rooster that had
cautiously enough "tackled" baby rattle
snake, and, holding it up in his beak,
was making a big display before his ad-
miring lady ends.-Philadelph'a Press

Not the least hopeful of the signs OF
the times is the tendency to use mate

tonseed oil was once without value. Stag,

utilized as a manure or in road making
