The soft blue eyes were lifted to meet

that he had not been pleading in vain.--

There was glow of excitement on
the young mans face, as he sat beneath
the light of lustrous lamp that very
evening, in his luxuriant home, for he
pictured to himself fair and beautiful
woman whom he might surround with

had raised between himself and the

VIRGINIA HORTICULTURAL AND PoMoLoGI-
CAL SOCIETY AND THE FALL ExHIBITIoN.-
The great interest which has heretofore
been nlrifested in this Society, but particu.
larly the success which they met with last
fall, has encouraged the members to re.
Hewed efforts for the present year. In order
to accomplish any beneficial results, how
ever, they must have the cooperation of our
citizens. Already the most encouraging
reports have come in from various sections
of the State, and the Society hopes to make
the coming exhibition this fall the best vet
held under its auspices.


BY means now on foot the Executive
Committee arc expecting to show that in
point of climate and soil no other State in
the Union can compare with Virginia, espe-
cially for the growth Of all small fruits.
And now that our lands are attracting the
attention Of men from all directions seeking
investments and future homes. it is particli-
larly dcsirous that all the information which
we possess should be given those thus COM
ing here to live, as well rs strangers looking
out for locations.


What the Society now want Is to offer as
many attractions us possible at the coming
fall exhibition, and in order to do this they
must present as large and val led premium
list as it is possible to do, and for this pur-
pose money is needed. The Society has no
funds fol this purpose, but rely on the an
nual memberships and the generosity of
our people.


MIR. NJ. Blair, mem' er of the Executive
Committee, will present the claims of the
Society to our people, and we feel assured
that his efforts will meet with a hearty re-
Spouse from all classes in the community.

Pnpnl InfslIibiIity Appealed TO Napoleon.
A telegram dated in Rome yesterday assures
US that the Archbishop of Algiers has been
detached from the Ecumenical Council and
commissioned by the Pope on special duty to
Paris. He is directed to ascertain the views
Of the Emperor Napoleon on the dogma Of
the personal infallibility Of the Pope, for the
position on this question causes the Holy
Father serious uneasiness." If the cable ia
correct in this matter the news is really extra
ordinary. Humanity speaking it is reducing
the decision of personal pontifical infallibility
to very fallible lay source for arbi-
tration. Considered in political light
the step reveals q considerable amount OF
astute diplomacy on the part of the Head OF
the Church; for it is generally conceded that
his Majesty Of France is the most successful
politician in the world, and one who has
''come along" wonderfully since he emerged
from his involuntary moral retreat of self
examination at Ham and carried his well dis
ciplined mind, with the resuscitated eagle, to
Boulognc. The Pope comedies to his wisdom,
the Emperor will advise and an anointed
coronation may follow.


The despatch also proves that Napoleon the
First was almost miraculously prescient in his
dea for inasmuch as Pope Plus tha Seventh
would not send to Paris in his day, the fortunate
commander of the French army went to Rome
himself and brought him to the French capi-
tai in person. The great Bon aparte, standing
in the Vatican, assured the Pope that the
union of the Papacy with his government
would work admirably, thus :--'Holy Father,
will in future WELD the sword, and you will
hold the keys Of st. Peter" and this "against
the world, if necessary Pope Plus the Sew
enth replied in one word addressed to his
attendant, "Considiente," or the man is a come
diana satire which wounded as severely at
the moment as did the sword of Waterloo sub
ssquently. Napoleon the Third never aban-
dons an idea and never forgets an insult. The
united sword and keys Of Peter hold pos
session Of his mind, and Pic Mono may view
the subject in different light from Plus the
Seventh, particularly with Bonaparte in the
Sacred College.

Professor Hall, with little help from Con-
gress, thinks that he can get up an expedition
which will plant the Stars and Stripes on the
tip top Of the North Pole. And we believe he
can do it. Captain Kane and Captain Hayes,
from the fnrthest point they reached north
ward, within some seven or eight degrees OF
the pole, report as far as the eye could reach
to the northward an open sea, which they be-
lieve extends to and sweeps around the POLE
We dare say, too, that they arc correct in this
opinion, but that the best way to reach the
pole is not against the current Of the icebergs
which come down Baffin's Bay, but by way OF
the Pacific equatorial current, which partly
flows into the Arctic Ocean through Behring
Straits, or by way Of the Atlantic equatorial
current Cor Gulf Stream) up by the coast OF
Norway and by the island Of Spitzbergen.
These two great warm ocean currents supply
the water which no doubt keeps the sea open
around the pole, while the current which
comes down from Baffin's Bay is only the re-
turning volume Of those two equatorial cur
rents after they have lost their heat. Hence

fms Bay into the Atlantic in the spring. They
come from the accumulations Of the glaciers
on the rocky and precipitous shores Of that
bay on both sides.


With these Impressions Of the warm ocean
currents concerned, we think that the best
plan for North Pole expedition would be to
go in through Behring Straits and to come out
by way Of Spitzbergen, or 0ice Uersa, avoiding
the frozen Arctic Ocean outlet Of Bafin's Bay
altogether; and we think that all the failures
of British and American explorers to reach
the pole may be charged mainly to the mis-
take of taking the route of Bafins Bay. We
think so because this bay is the outlet of those
two aforesaid indowing equatorial currents to-
wards tho pole currents, which are changed into
a current of icebergs in their return by Bailin's
Bay into The Atlantic Ocean. At all events, in
view of the national honor of solving this
mystery of the North Pole, Professor Hall, an
old campaigner in the Arctic seas, should be
granted the triflng assistance required from

The WogKINGMRN IN THE PoLnICAL.
FIELD.-The Convention of Workingmen of
New Hampshire have adopted political plat
form and nominated candidates for the next
election in that State. The Workingmen's
Assembly at Albany are busy in looking to
their interests with the Legislature and dis

coming before the country the chances for
young and vigorous parties are good.

The declaration of M. Schneider, President
of the French Corps Legislatif, that the labor
troubles at La Creuzot were fomented by
Englishmen, may doubtless be accepted as
true, and the fact indicates the extent OF
the workingmenls operations in Europe,
through labor unions and similar machinery.
The commercial treaty between England and
France, in virtue of which French wines and
other products go duty free or at very low
rate into England, while English manufactures
are similarly favored in France, has the effect
of bringing the two countries pretty close
together in the matter of industrial interest
Any article that goes through the ports duty
free may as well be made in one country as
the other; and thus if the English laborer
demands higher wages, and the article thereby
is likely to cost so much more as to materially
reduce the dealers profits, the job goes over
the channel aud into the hands of the French
workman, who has not yet discovered all the
glories OF trade union. Strikers in England
have seen this thing happen great many
times, and have finally discovered that before
a strike can be thoroughly effective in one
kingdom It must extend to the other. 1t is the
operation of combination in this sense that NJ.
Schneider refers to.

From the lower corner Of st. Paul's church
yard one may now see well down the opening
of Trinity place toward tho Battery, looking
over mound of debris in the foreground and

suppose, therefore, that all the car companies
will presently be sending their vehicles all the
way to the Battery-down Greenwich street,
say, and up Church. When all the cars take
in that greater distance another severe blow
will be inflicted upon the omnibus interest
The Staten Island ferries and the necessities
of communication between up town and parts
Of the city below Fulton street have thus far
been of great service in keeping alive some
lines of omnibuses that would otherwise have
failed in that general mortality of omnibus
companies that occurred during the first sue

are taken away, and the diminished omnibus
patronage will diminish the number Of these

FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS IN SEC
TARTAN SoPs.--We have frequently called
attention to the liberality with which our City
Council gave away money that it did not own,
and that it was entrusted with to use for a diff
ferent purpose than that to which it often
applied it. In the past year there was an
unusual freehandedness of this sort in the
City Hall, and we see now that the aggregate
of money given away to sectarian schools
reached the sum Of half million dollars.
-Four hundred thousand dollars of this was
given to Roman Catholic schools. But with
out any regard to what particular sect got the
money, this is an enormous abuse. We pay
lavishy for the support Of schools in regular
and proper way, and in the public schools of
the city there is ample accommodation for the
instruction Of all children whose parents are
willing that they should be taught at the
public expense. This tapping the public till
for the support of a separate system of schools
is thing that should be stopped.

Too MANY AT A TME.-Mr. Washburn's
bill subsidizing four lines of Atlantic steamers
lays out an extensive scheme for COM
merce to grow up to. We should be better
pleased to see one good American line in ope-
ration than to hear of four, or even forty.
Each of the lines is to receive an annual sub
sidy of half million dollars, and this is an
obnoxious feature; yet, while we hold that
subsidies are bad in principle, it must be
admitted that in this case government has
something of an equivalent in its rights with
regard to these ships in case of war. So far
as it makes of the ships possible navy the
bill is excellent.

A pretty incident is related of a canary

light upon the mantel-shelf, whereupon
was a mirror. Here was a new discovery
of the most profound interest. He gazed
long and curiously at himself, and came
to the conclusion that he had found a
mate. Going back to his cage, he Sc
leeted a seed from It's box, and brought
tin his bill as an offering to the stranger.
In vain the canary exerted himself to
make his new found friend partake, and
becoming weary of that, tried another
tack. Stepping back a few inches from
the glass he poured forth his sweetest
note, pausing now and then for a reply.
None came; and moody and disgusted,
he flew back to his perch, hanging his
head in shame and silence for the rest of
the day; and although the door was
repeatedly left open, refused to come out
again. --r.tr.lg- -...l.-r
