We and honest zeal of our Alabama friend, and which might become both influential and forceful, if directed along practical and sensible lines. It ought to occur to the valued Times that if MT.

THE srnrcxnr PoNrrFF.


 During an entire week there has been throughout the civilized world feeling of sorrow. of suspense and of dread. A man who Is great. who is prominent and who Is good has been fighting the last battle which all human beings must fight, and reports from his bedside have been watched by the millions of people whose hearts go out in kindness and sympathy to the aged and suffering pondn. When these lines are read. he may be among those who have already gone to join "the pale nations of the dead" or he may yet be living and enduring. awaiting the final summons which corhes to all in ood's appointed time. It may be that. in spite of his ninety-four years of human life he will recover and i'll out the full cen 'tury of existence. Of that no one can say.
 To all death must come sooner or later Many pass away unknown and unheraid- ed. and few hold the worlds attention because of their greatness. their good. ness or their position. Tn Pope Leo all these qualities are united. It Is not be- cause he is the head of the Roman Cath ollie Church. the representative of St. Pe- ter, that so many. of all classes. secta and beliefs reverence the Pope. but be- cause he is good man. friend of hu- manity. an advocate of peace on earth and good will to man. that they love and re- spect him and unite in wishes and pray CTS for his recovery.
 It is case where sectarianism is laid aside. where religious differences are for gotten and where bigotry hides its head. The Catholic and the Protestant, the Jew and the Gentle. the Atheist and the Agnostic, can all unite in the wave of sympathy. respect and love which goes out to the stricken representative of a powerful faith. If he dies. millions will mourn his end. If he lives, millions will rejoice.

WHITE BLAcKBERRIEs.

The Youths Companion recently had some alleged information about white blackberries, which it said some Califor- mia man had produced by cross-breeding. The Arkansas Gazette says that this vari- ety of berry grows wild in that State. and then The Richmond Times-Dispatch butts in with this testimony:
 On the plantation of Mir. Cabiness. near Cascade. at point where the coun- ties of Henry and Pittsylvania come to- gether. near the North Carolina line, S eS n wncR Years msny wa they may flourish there yet. They were in all respects the genuine blackberry S,t except when ripe the were erd nearly @ as were as good. If not better. than the glo- rious dewberry that Mr. Powhatan Boul- region. This white blackberry was con sidered freak, due to some peculiartty of the soil, but so far as we know the freak was never investigated.
 This writer has gathered and eaten white blackberries many a time, and fl they resulted from cross-breeding. 1t was done in Natures own garden. The vines blooms and manner of ripening were, SC far as an ordinary observer could judge Identical with that of the ordinary black variety. This kind of berry may be a freak of nature. but we know that they grew wild and that they were very good Like the white mulberries which we have frequently seen and eaten, the white black berries were somewhat sweeter than tho black ones. bu. that was the only differ. ence we ever noted
