NEultOIlul correspondence
When the troops of the King of Italy
battered down the walls of Rome in
1870 the Pope and his troops retreated
to the Vatican, where they have ever
since remained and the unihcation OF
Italy was effected. All the states that
for centuries had been fighting with each
other or had sought alliances with other
European nations swore allegiance to
one king, and since 1870 the kingdom Of
Italy has been united one and its
people are thoroughly LOYAL to their
ruler. Hence Italy is one of the youngest
nations of Europe, but in the last three
decades it has made wonderful progress.
1t has standing army Of 100000 SOL
diers and its navy ranks third in the
world, even surprising that of Russia,
the largest empire in the world.

SpaIding is over 60 years of age,

Of his life. His yearly expenses were
$4,000, good part of which went
for the adornment and pleasure OF
the pretty typewriter, while Mrs.

Senator MorriIl's S7th Birthday.

April IA Senator JustinS S. Morrill,, father
OF the Senate and father of Congress as
well, celebrated his S7th birthday. AS
has been customary for several years
he gave reception to celebrate the
anniversary.
Senator Morrill, was in the House six
terms and was elected to the Senate
March +. 1867, and has to his record the
longest continuous service in Congress
since the foundation of the government.
Only one senator, Senator Benton of
Missouri has served as long period in
the Senate. His term extended to 80
years, five months, two days, while our
beloved senator has served 80 years ,one
month, ten days, so with his service in
the House he has to his credit over AZ
years while Benton served only 80 years
in Congress.
From O'Clock till near midnight the
elegant home OF Senator and Mrs Morrill,
in Washington was thronged with
visitors prominent in official circles, who
came to congratulate him and extend the
hope that he would live to celebrate many
more such anniversaries. The house was
beautifully decorated with choice roses
and palms.
From early morning letters, kilograms
and a profusion of flowers were re.
ceived by the senator expressive of con.
gratulations from all parts of the couu.
try.
The following poem printed on silk
was received:
GROWING OLD
II have heard that whoever loves is in nc
condition old"-Emerson.
Softly the years have swept by thee;
Touching thee lightly with tenderest care;
Sorrow and death have often been nigh thee
Yet have they left thee but beauty to wear;
Growing old gracefully gracefully fair.
Far from the storms that are flashing tn,
ocean,
Nearer each day to the pleasant home
light.
Far from the waves that are big with com
motion,
Under full sale and the harbor in sight
Growing old cheerfully, cheerful ant
bright.
Past all the winds that were adverse ant
Past all the islands that ured thee to rest,
Past AL the currents that lured thee un
willing,
Far, from thy course to the land of til,
Growing old peacefully, peaceful ant
blest.
Never feeling Of envy or sorrow
When the bright faces of children are seen
Never year from the young wouldst thot
borrow
Thou dost remember what lieth between
Growing old willingly, thankful, serene.
Rich in experience that angels nigh
covet,
Rich in faith that has grown with tn,
years,
Rich in love that grew from and above 1t,
Soothing thy sorrows and hushing tn,
fears
Growing old wealthily, loving and dear.
Hearts Hts. at the sound of thy coming ar
Ready and willing thy hand to relieve;
Many face at thy kind word has bright
ened-
Growing old happily, ceasng to grieve.
Eyes that grow dim on earth and its glor,
Have sweet recompense, youth canno
know;
Bars that grow dull to the world and ii
story
Drink in the songs that from paradise
flow
Growing old graeiously, purer than snow.

called to the case, however, it is
doubtful whether the sacrifice will be
consummated, for the laws against
manning do not seem to make an
exception in favor OF the purchase of
the limbs and lesser members OF the
poor. This young woman hoped to
get $1,000 for her finger, to enable
her to study singing in Europe. 1t
is painful to record that she was the
fifth applicant, the fingers of the first
four failing to fit.
