The troubles of PortuaaI.

The strongest political force in Portugal is the secret society of the Carbonarios. Of that there can be no doubt. ''This mysterious society" says the Times. affords scope for specu- latton both as to the number of it's adherents and the master brain which directs it, but that it's Iamifications extend wide and deep into the army and navy and the civil service admits of no doubt As active membership is said to carry the right to a salary, it has naturally found a fruitful re- crGiting- ground among the dregs of the population. It thrives on espionage and delation, and while it has defeat ed all attempts to Subvert the republic from outside. it has successfully ter ro~ized the moderate clements of the community within. So thoroughly has this irresponsible body done it's work that it has stamped out what ever elements of civic virtue had sur Vived the blighting influence of the monarchical regime Fear is the rul- ing motive in Portuguese politics to- day. It may be added that a pronli- nent enigre Royalist, Senhor H. Christo, editor of the anti Republican PoVo de Aveiro, has assured a repre- sentative of the Morning Post that the Carbonarios' are among the chief causes of the financial difficulties in which Portugal is involved. There are, he explains, 32000 of them in the country. They are members of secret society, and yet they are "spies in service of the Government, and each one of them receives from the State a salary of G6 per month" If these figures are correct. Portugal Is paying well over two millions a year for the maintenance of the chief ob- Stacle to her peace.

LE GISLATIVE LORE

the matter of compensation to mem bers of the general assembly which was referred from the session of 1911. The proposed amendment provides for an increase in compensation to mem- bers from $500 to $500 for the session, with one trip mileage at the rate of 25 cents 8 mile. The measure was passed in the 1911 session, and came to the present session under the law, and If passed would go to the people for action two years hence. MT. MaltbIe said that the great majority of the members came to Hartford for tho honor there was in it. rather than for compensation that did not compensate, and Nhat the proposed increase as 8 matter of compensation was made Quate. He said there was already 8 proposition to secure transportation, which should not be jeopardized by this compensation amendment
 MT. Haynes of Old Lyme made mo- ton that the matter be tabled for call endar and printing, which was lost. A member of the committee announced that the vote of the committee was only four to three for unfavorable re- port.
 AIr. Haynes said that early in the session he introduced bill that fixed the compensation of house members at $500. that of senate members at $700. When unfavbrable report was made, the committee gave information that later on a favorable substitute report would be made of bill that would in- clude the provisions of the Haynes bill. In consequence the present report was a disappointment. If the present mem- bers cannot get an increase he be- lievd in paving the way for the future members. He said there were many poor men in the hoIse who could not afford to come to Hartford and do bus mess for the state at their personal ex- pense. He hoped the unfav o1 able re- port would not be accepted.
 MT. Stremlan spoke in favor of re- jecting the report, stating that unless the proposed change was made the men who labor for a living could not afford to become members of the gem eral assembly. and as a result the leg islature would not be In reality a rep resentative body.
 MT. Bridget of Wallingford reminded that the matter did not provide for pay of present members, but simply to put the matter up to the people to decide as to the compensation of the legisla- tors of the future.
 4 yea and nay vote was about to be ordered, to decide the matter on a two- thirds vote, when it was voted to table the bill, so that it could be given at- tention by the clerk of bills before presentation for adoption.

Pope,s House at Twickenham.

Saville house, Twickenham, is now being demolished. A typical mansion of the Queen Anne period, built of red bricks with a tiled roof and standing in nearly two acres of we'll wooded grounds, it is famous as having been the home of Lady Mary Wortley Mon tagu, the friend-and later the enemy of Pope. After a prolonged residence in Turkey. Lady Mary returned to England in 1718, and was induced by Pope to settle at Trickenham. The poet secured for her villa not far from his own residence. The villa was the property of Sir Godfrey Knelier the artist. In this house Lady Mary came to live with her husband

But the esr arrangement was both deep and per- manent. In his Epistle to Horace Pope

china,s Ancient Seal.

The ancient jade seal of China has just been discovered at Seoul. It ap- pears that when the Mongol dynasty came to an end in 1868 the Corean yin waiting and her father, both at the court. carried the seal with them to Corea. This rcdiscovery is very interesting, because in 1457, when the Chinese emperor (after being cap- tured by the Kalmuck Tdrtars and held prisoner in Mongolia) came to his rights again and formally reascended the throne. the Kalmuck Khan Essen tried to make capital out of his pos session of this seal. The Eastern Mongol Khan Bulai, however, killed Essen that year captured his wives and treasures and offered the seal to China for a valuable consideration. The emperor said: '"The seal is 8 counterfeit anyhow. and not the orig inal; but. even if it were genuine, it would be an inauspicious emblem of tyranny, having first been used by the imperial murderer of B. c. 213. Be- sides, I am firm enough on the throne without the support of fancy antfqui- ties. Keep it!'

Long afterwards, in TAO, we find the angry lady writing to a correspondent: HThe word ma lignity and a passage in your letter call to my mind the wicked wasp of Twickenham." Lady Mary was suc- ceeded in the villa by 8 widowed Lady Saville-from whom the house takes it's present name. While living at Twickenham she married Dr. Charles Morton, the principal librarian of the British Museum and the author of paper on the supposed connection be- tween the hieroglyphic writing of Egypt and the modern Chinese char acter.
