GREAT, BUT UNGALLANT.-Napolean

would preserve a smile while he was
being kicked from behind. Talleyrand

1T is pity" he said, ''that so great
a man should have such bad manners.
And the mot will cling to Napoleon for
ever. Macaulay has said the same
thing in comparing Cesar with Napo-
leon
But, after ali, Caesar was gentle,
man. The word gentleman" could
never be applied to the modern Cesar,

into the household of the Empress Jose

"a Frenchman would never have
told me that" When Nine. de Tally.
rand was presented at court, he had
nothing more gracious to say than:
Il hope that the conduct Of Nine.
Talleyrand will cause the levities Of

AFTER A MAMMoTn.-About the
middle of March Baron Toll, the we'll

reach the place, near the mouth of the
Jana river, where the discovery of the
body of mammoth, the fossil elephant
of Siberia, in a remarkable state OF
preservation. has been reported to the
Russian government. Baron Toll left
st. Petersburg on Christmas, and his
mission involves round trip journey
of about $4,000 miles.
Some other work of an exploratory
nature has been assigned to him; but
his chief purpose is to secure the skele-
ton, and, if possible, the hide of the
mammoth. It's hairy covering is said
to have been almost perfectly preserved.
A great many bones of this extinct
species have been found in the lower
courses of Siberian rivers, but it is ex-
tremely rare to find comparatively
perfect skeleton. Baron Toll is sent
out by the Russian Academy of Sci
enceS.

REV. DR. McGLYNN now says ne
never spoke of the Pope as an odd wo-
man. an "old lady" or as poor old
bag of bones 1t was said at the time
that he did not know exactly what ne
was saying, and this denial shows that
chat was correct, OF something worse;
for the Doctors record has been called,
and by the mouths of many witnesses
is proved that he did apply to The
Pope the identical terms referred to,
though he "swears" he didn't. Mgr.
satolli should have consulted disinter-
ested and well informed Catholics in the
Doctors own city before he restored
him to the priesthood without penance
and public apology. And his failure to
do so has wrought his church no good.
