LETTER OF ROBERT MORRIS.

One Sold Recently Shows Philosophy OF

Robert Norris the financier of the
revolution, wrote in 1897, three months
before he began his four years CON

SEALS OF CHINESE EMPRESS.


The Imperial seals of the Dowager
Empress of China were recently sold
by auction in London. There are no
duplicates to these very interesting
and beautiful specimens of Chinese
art, and therefore they are of special
value to the wealthy connoisseur. The
seals are four in number, and are OF
green jadestone. They are of interest
to artists, for the strong minded dow
ager wcs much addicted to painting
water-colors, and to prevent any doubt
being cast upon them as not the genu-
inc product of her own imperial hand.
and that posterity should also be en-
lightened as to her genius. she used
to afiix one of these jadestone seals
upon them. The phoenix is carved on
two of these seals. This is the special
mark or crest of an empress dowager
of the empire. But the lady autocrat
was not satisfied with the phoenix
alone. Having usurped the reins of
government, she arrogated to herself
the prerogatives OF the emperor, and

German Monks In Italy.

In 1890 a German Franciscan friar,
Father Bernard Joseph Dobbing, was
elected bishop of the ancient united
sees of Sutri and Nepi. The story OF
his coming thither is a remarkable
one. 1t was in the times of the Kul-
turkampf in Germany that a certain
number of Frsnciscans, driven out of
their own country, took refuge in Italy
and purchased a few miles out of
Rome, an abandoned old sanctuary,
SAINT Ella, near Nepi. Father Dobbing
was their superior. Through their
restless energy and untiring zeal the
German friars soon brought back the
ancient place of pilgrimage to Its
former celebrity. The church was re-
stored and decorated. new buildings
were erected, divine dignity was car
ried out with fitting dignity and splen-
dor, the fathers toiled in the confes-
sional, in the pulpit, by missions and
retreats, so that their convent became
a focus of religion and sanctity for the
entire district Their superior Is now
bishop of the diocese, and is exceed
ingly beloved by his Italian fioek.-

Admlrars Reception to a King.

The fondness of navy officers for
telling Jokes at each others expense is
we'll known. and their yarns, like the
traditions OF the Indians. are handed
down from one generation 40 thu
next.
Years ago there was a brusque old
admiral upon whom many stores were
told--in most cases true ones.
At one time. when the war ship of
which the admiral was in command
was Off the coast Of Portugal, the king
of that country expressed a desire to
visit an American man-ofwar.
The admiral received the party with
great cordlality, but, instead OF ad-
dressing the royal visitor as your ma
jesty." he invariably called him
king"
1t was step this way, king" Look
out for your head, king" when show
ing him about tho vessel, and before
his majesty departed the admiral con-
vulsed all within hearing by saying,
