Bishop Keane and the Pope.

A correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun, writing from Rome under date of
July 2Sth, in speaking of the visit of
Bishop Keane, Rector of the Catholic
University at Washington city, to the
Pope of Rome, says
Bishop Keane finds Leo XIII APP
parently more vigorous and in better
health than when he saw him last, over
five years ago. The rapidity of his
movements, the vigor of his speech and
gestures were simply surprising in a
man now in his eighty fifth year. He
expressed to the Pope his expectation
that Leo XIII should live for ten years
to come. The Pope smiled and said
that perhaps he had already lived too
long, but that he had still new projects
and great designs which he hoped would
turn out to the benefit of humanity
and the glory of God.n

Acceptance Of the Senate Bill.

The Petersburg Iude1Appeal of the
18th says -
1.-The acceptance yesterday of the
Senate bill by the house did not in
volve a surrender in any respect dis
graceful. The house has made a good
fight, but an unavailing one, and the
men who have championed the Wilson
bill could gracefully retire without for
feiting the respect or the confidence of
their constituents. Certainly the vot-
ers will understand the situation.
They will appreciate the fact that the
interests of the country are so diversi-
fed that it was impossible to secure
the assent of a majority of the demo-
cratic Senators to a measure such as
the Wilson bill is. Furthermore, the
house was not under obligations to
legislate for the benefit of any coterie
of it's members who assume to lay
down the exclusive democratic doc
trine, but for the country at large first,
and then for the benefit of the demo
cratic party. The Senate bill is in line
with the democratic idea. 1t reduces
taxation, and it is confidently believed
that it will add to the national pros
perity. That is what is needed just
now, and no member of the house who
accepted the situation and yielded to
the inevitable need fear to make an
honest explanation to his constituency.
That is the way we look at the matter,
and we are glad to think that the crisis
has been reached, and that final and
decisive action has been taken. The
house may also find comfort in the
conviction that never yet has a tariff
bill been passed which gave entire sat
isfaction.''

A Pen Portrait of Gen. r. E. Lee.

In his life of Gen. Robert E. Lee,
now about to be published, Gen. Fitz-

peared when he was invited to appear
before the Confederate convention to
accept his appointment publicly
Leaning on the arm of Mr.. Marina
duke johnson, of Richmond, chairman
of the committee, Gen. Lee entered the
hall. Every spectator admired the per-
sonal appearance of the man, his dig
nified figure, his air of self-composure,
his strength of feature in which shone
the steady animation of a conscious
ness of power, purpose and decision.
He was in the full and hardy flush of
ripe years and vigorous health. His
form was tall, it's constituents we'll knit
together; his head, well shaped and
squarely built, gave Indication of a
powerful intellect. The fact, not yet
interlined by age, still remarkable for
its personal beauty, was lighted up by
eyes black in the shade, but brown in
the ulllight, clear, benignant, but with
a deep recess of light, curtained fire
in them that blazed in IL oments of eX-
element; the countenance and natural

yet striking the beholder as masking
an iron will. His manners were at once
grave and kindly, without gayety or
abandon. He was also without any
atfectation of dignity. Such is the
man whose stately figure in the Capt.
tol at Richmond brought to mind the
old race of Virginians, and who was
thereafter to win reputation not
only as the first commander but also as
a perfect and beautiful model of man

HE ATE THE BEER-GLAsS.-Th
Lynchburg Neaos of the 10Th says that
a we'll known salesman of that city, a
few days before, on a wager of five
dollars, ate a beer glass. 1t says
1.-The man who was to eat the glass
ware called for small, thin beer-glass.
He broke it, put pieces of it in his
mouth as one would piece of a crack
er, chewed them up fine and swallowed
them. The entire glass was eaten up
in this way. and the man who perform
ed the feat won his SIS.
A dozen people saw the thing done,
and some of them were astOunded at
the way the man was trifling with his
personal safety. He was up the next
day, however, and is at present alive
and cheerful.
A great many people to whom this
fact has been related find it hard to be-
lieve the story; but, that it is a fact
can be attested by dozen or more
reliable men who saw the beer glass
eaten"
