Another home made desolate by insanity
is that of Jesse Higbee, a prosperous resi-

ago he had an afTectionate wife and four
bright children. Now the little ones are
beneath the sod and Mrs. Julia Higbee
raves behind the bars of a lunatic asylum.
During her husbands absence the woman
brooded over certain suspicious until the
dark cloud of madness settled down upon
her mind. Then calling ner little ones
about her she gave them food in which
arsenic had been mixed. She watched
their agonies with Indifference, and smiled
as one by one they breathed their last.
She smiled in the face of her horror stricken
husband, and smiled again when placed on
trial for her life. The jury acquitted her
on the ground OF insanity, and her mental
failure being thus established the Jaw con

ceeded by the blackness of darkness, the
hitherto carefully controlled energies of
existence find vent along the hideous high
ways of murder, suicide or shame.
There is small doubt that Leocatia Har-

night at her apartments in New York city,
was mentally irresponsible when she COM

the elimination of a reckless career. Yet
that career was a short one, for the girl

She defied authority from babyhood. Her

His career was strangely picturesque and
romantic, and when he visited the United
States in 1881 he attracted great attention.
He was born at Honolulu Nov 10, 1886,
and though descended from the ancient
rulers of the islands had little chance of
ever becoming king But there were many
early deaths in the royal family, and when
Prince Lunalilo died without naming a
successor the legislature elected Kalakaua,
giving him 80 votes to for Queen Emma,
widow of Kamehameha ".
He was proclaimed king in February,
1874, and ruled with wisdom and moder-

In ordinary cases the details are soon
known, and this was especially the case at
the last election. The seat of Cardinal
Joachim Pecci in that conclave was No. 9,
and on the first ballot he received twenty
three votes. On the second ballot he re-
ceived thirty-eight votes, and then, says
one of the conclave, tears rolled down his
face, and his hand shook so violently that
the pen he held fell to the ground, and as
the third ballot progressed he sat with
closed eyes and his face as pale as death"
The third ballot was nearly unanimous
The election was soon made SO by the few
who had voted otherwise, and to the usual
question the pope elect replied, LET me be

HER STORY.

Long years ago little maid,
Deep hidden in the forest glade,
Lar with her starry eyes uplfted
To where the yellow sunshine sftcd
Down through the beach leaves Pickering
shade.
Like some white fallen blossom seen
Against the grass's emerald green,
She, fit to pose as Summers daughter
Or nymph arisen from the water,
Unconscious of her graceful mien-
Dreamed deep some day, dream dim and
sweet,
The water rippled at her feet;
butterfly, all goiocn tinted,
Above her in the sunshine glnted
With fight all objectless and feet
Slow winging through the summer air
Their unseen fight. two angels fair
Saw where the little maid was lying,
And paused moment in their flying
To look spon her resting there.
"Ah me-" said one, what sad estate
Is written in the book of fate
For her Upon page just turning,
i saw the fiery letters burning,
SO shall thy life be desolate.
"'Dull toll shall gnerl thy fingers fair,
And sorrow silver all thy hair;
The winter winds shall smite thee coldly,
The summer sun with fire enfold thee,
Poverty's raiment thou shalt wearr"
The listening angel breathed a sigh
Ere once again the two did fly;
A shudder set the branches going.
"Ah!' smiled the maid, how sweet the
blowing
OF summer breezes wandering byr
Years afterward upon night
OF starlit mist and dim moonlight
Two angels bore spirit lying
Between them in their locked arms, flying
Aloft with swift and steady flight.
Hers was a face of beauty rare,
Framed deep in threads of yellow hair.
Long lasheS on her cheeks lay sleeping;
A smile upon her lips was keeping
The smile that angel faces wear.
Within a meager lonely room,
Silent and sightleSs as a tomb,
In one of earth's most barren places,
Bereft of all earth's kindly graceS,
And canOpied around with gloom,
Upon a wretched lowly bed,
Without pillow for her head,
The angels, with the spirit flying,
Left but silent figure lying
A poor old woman lying dead.

CARDINAL PAROCCHL.

and the present method Of choice BY the
College of Cardinals was a practice Of
gradual growth. Down TO the time of the
destruction of the Western Roman en-
pire the emperor quite overshadowed the
pope, and after that came the period of
chaos
The election Of pope for several centu-
ries past has been attended with acts of the
highest soiemnity As soon as the attend
ants have announced the death il is the
duty of the senior secretary of the Sacred
College to notify all the cardinals at once.
As a majority of them are Italians, and the
others are in such emergencies generally
within easy access the conclave is soon as
sembled and it is of course an object to
make the vacancy as brief as possible A
season of prayerand fasting is observed; the
cardinals present their missives and all is
put in readiness
On the day for voting the cardinals as
semble in the church of the Vatican at an
early hour, and "A solemn mass of the Holy
Ghost is said They then walk i'm process
sion 20 the conclave, the building is closed
and they are left in secrecy. A few attend
ants supply them with water and food if
necessary, but no communications are re-
ceiyed The great corridor is fitted with
appropriate hangings, and in a central
place is an altar on which is an urn All
around the hall are corridors in which the
cardinals sit, according to their orders, Sc
cluded from each other at times, but all
within full view OF the altar
On the occasion of the election of Leo
XIII (Feb. 20. 1879 there were sixty-four
cardinals present. The high screens were

spaces, each under his canopy. -Four of

elections, and to them it is a sort of sur
prise that the hour should draw near for
another to be chosen so soon. In truth,
however, papal elections have been, in the
long run, almost as frequent as elections
of president of the United States, for a
cardinal Of advanced age is nearly always
chosen, and Leo XIII has greatly exceeded
the average occupation.
OF his 2Gi predecessors thirty-three

less than two years, while but ten reigned
twenty years, and Of these Clement XI

In the early days. to be chosen pope usual
ly meant speedy death The first seven
were martyred; then came ST. Telesphorus

after him twenty-eight popes in succession
were martyred After the death of the
Emperor Julian the church had peace till
the barbarians oveNJhrew the empire, and
then for long peMod the papal reigns
were short.
The method of choosing pope has been
changed, and might again be if necessary.
OF the choice of St. Peter the reader may
decide for himself; his three immediate
successors-St. Linus, St Cletus and St.
Clement II commonly called Clement OF
ROme)-were has cOtenporaries, and their
election appears to have been without ques-
ton or special incident Thereafter for
long period the pope lbeing also bishop of
Rome) was elected as any other bishop,

nounced the cardinal master advances TO
the seat of the newly elected, accompanied
by the sub-deacon, senior cardinal priest
and cardinal deacon, and asks:
do you accept the election economically
made of you as supreme pontiff of the
Catholic church,"
The elected one rises and accepts the
Office, generally with some expression of
his feelings. Then all the others advance
and pay their respects, and all the canopies
are lowered except that above the pope
elect The question is then asked:
"By what name do you wish to be
called?"
The new pope then announces the title
he chooses for himself, after which he is
conducted behind the altar, Invested of his
cardinal robes, and clad in the white
vesture officially worn by his predecessor.
He then takes his seat on the papal throne,
and is invested with the papal ring and
other insignia.
