1t is announced that Cardinal An


tonelli thinks of reviving the days of
the crusaders By starting out, like Pc
ter the Hermit, and preaching in all
the Catholic countries against Victor
Emanuel. The Cardinal seems to
think by so doing, he would be able
to drive the King not only out Of
Rome, but out of all Italy. We rather
hope he will undertake the big
job. The preaching part of it could


not possibly do any harm, and speak
ing may relieve the distinguished Pre-
late. If he comes over to this country
on such a mission, we dare say the
Rev. J. g. White will meet him at Phil
ippi with his counter crusade against
the church of which the Cardinals SO
distinguished an ornament. We do
not think ef any plan that could be
suggested which would so clearly
point out the difference between the
nineteenth and eleventh centuries, ae
for Cardinal Antonelli to attempt to
initiate Peter the Hermit in inducing
the Catholics Of the various nations
of the earth to unite in an attempt to
drive the King of Italy from his own

THE House Of Representatives yes
terday passed two very important
measures. One repeals all Of
the Internal Revenue law except
The tax on spirits and to-
bacco. Thus, at one enc fell swoop,
a Republican Congress ful6lls its
pledges to the people in the reduction
of taxation. We expect the U. s.
Senate to follow the example, and pass
the House resolution promptly
through that body. The other is the
adoption Of resolution abOlishing
the office Of Admiral and
Vice Admiral. This, too. is q
most commendable measure. and

THE San Domingo question is al
ready before the U. S. Senate in the
shape Of an elaborate resolution, pro-
posed by Mr. Summer e~II;-s, H.
President for all the information in
his possession relative to the annexa-
tiop of Samana Island, and as to
whether any foreign power desired to
obtain possession of it. We have
been of the opinion all the time that
the story that Bismarck desired to
get possession of San Domingo was
manufactured out Of whole cloth and
put in circulation solely to influence
wavering Congressman. There is
nothing in it. We hope that Con-
gress will stand firm in its refusal to
invest any more millions In bankrupt
and disorganizsd islands. It is also
understood in WashiDgtOn that the
Minister from Hayti designs laying

THE appointment of Gen. Robert
Schenck, as Minister 10 England. will
give very general satisfaction to the
people. His ability is questioned by
no one. He is fully posted as to the
rights of our country, and is not the
man to bs easily duped either by
Court diplomacy or persuasive and
modifying dinners. as was the case
with Reverdy johnson. He is a
plain-spoken, positive man who would
bring the questions in dispute to a
point very speedily, once he undertook
their discussion. Besides, we do not
regard Gen. Schenck as particularly
useful to the Republican party or
the country as head of the House
Committee on Ways and Means. His
views on the tariff question are not
in harmony with those of at least
nine-tenths Of the Republicans Of
the Western States, and they will
cheerfully see him transferred to the
Court of s.. James. He has been

horrible manner. On Thursday one of their
cows strayed away and was lost. On the
next morning, before breakfast, two Of them
started out to take u look for the missing
animal. After travelling up the ravine some
distance, they discovered the COW living
among the bush. Thinking she was asleep
they went up to start her home; but it ap-
pears the COW had been killed by grizzly,
who was at the time lying 1T her side. As
the men approached the bear lcapcd upon

second caught his head in his mouth and bit
it entirely off, mangling it learfully The
bear then resumed his position by the body
Of the dead COW. The man who was first
attached did not die Immediately, but had
strength enough left to drag himself Il short
distance from the spot.


In the meantime the man left at the camp
having prepared breakfast, went out to call
up the companions. Finding their trail, he
followed it until he saw the cow lying in the
bushes, and thinking he would drive hel
home, he approached the spot, when the
