V. . V~ i COLUMBUS SUNDAY ENQUIRER: SUNDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 26, 1877. jguudag %nqa\vtv COW'MBtlS, GEOBOU« SUNDAY,....NOVEMBER 25,1877. SALISBURY & CO., Proprietors- Fifty members of a colored Baptist church at Lexington, Kyi, have been excommunicated because they would go to the circus. Awful Gardner, the converted prize-fighter and barkeeper, has re turned to his wallowing, and sells liquor in New Jersey. H. V. Redfield, the Cincinnati CommitofeGit correspondent, has been elected'Alderman in his native vil lage of Chattanooga. When they speak of a regiment of infantry in Mexico they mean a body of men numbering from seven to fifty officers and from one to six private soldieiK Senator Blaine is able to sit up, his appetite has returned, and heisln such excellent spirits that his friends say he will be able to resume his ac tive duties in a short time. Ju£ia ^Cavanagh, the authoress, has just died at Nice, at thej age of fifty-three. In early life her parents took her to Paris, where she acquired that insight into French home life that is observable in her novels. Commissioner Dodge, of the Agri cultural Bureau at Washington, writes on the 17th, that cotton ac counts since the 1st are less favorable, and would justify lower rather than the increased estimates given in his report on the 1st. Carl Scmmz’s old paper, the St. Louis WestHche Pott, expresses its mind on the end of the postoffice fight in that city thus freely: “Postmaster Fillers reappointment is one of those errors which are worse than a crime. President Hayes has, with this, stam ped his civil service reform clear be yond the frontiers of Missouri to be a laughable farce and a silly humbug.’' A newspaper controversy led to the 'shooting of Charles Matthews, city editor of the Hot Springs Telegraph, by Mayor Linde, last Wednesday. Matthews was unarmed, and received four wounds, one shot breaking his arm and another his shoulder. Al derman Davis and another man were accidentally wounded by balls from the pistol of the murderous Mayor. Linde gave bond in $2,000 for his ap pearance. * Memphis Avalanche : Eight miles south of Ashland, North Mississippi, a few days ago, Homer N. Hunt was challenged by C. Mason Lane for saying of a young lady friend of the latteif: “How I loathe any girl who is equal,” He accepted, and as both were excellent shots, the distance was extended from fifteen to thirty- five yards. Hunt was killed and Lane mortally wounded at the first fire. The Cincinnati Enquirer proposes to wager $500 or $1,000 that there is a man on the 'E* yuirer who can set more type in a given time than any other compositor in the country, and tiie same amount that there are two compositors on that paper who can sot more type than any other two; three than any other three; fouf, five* six, and so on up to ten. Here’s a a chance for the type-stickers to test their mettle. The Young Men’s Christian Asso- I ciation is an institution that is far- reaching as well as beneficial in its influence, and we hear of a branch at W ^Qjmedln, New Zealand, that num bers 566 members,' It is of great as sistance to immigrants, giving them valuable acquaintances and oppor- ( tunities, and putting them on the right track in many respects. In all the South Sea British colonies there are similar associations. The people of northern Pennsyl vania are greatly excited in conse quence of the depredations of the hordes of tramps now infesting that locality. • Vigilance committees have been formed by the citizens, for self- protection, and several encounters have already occurred, in which the vagrants were worsted. .The tramp brigade is constantly increasing in this locality, and eveiy day grown whitejrnen,able bodied, go from house to house begging. Many of them may be sufferers, but quite a number are on the lookout for plunder. A Republican Senatorial candi date in New York, Judge Robertson, of the Westchester district, has lost his seat because the canvassers re fused to go behind the returns. The radopted the rulings of the Ele ctoral Commission, and what makes it especially galling is that Robertson went to Florida last fall on the re quest of Grant as a “distinguished visitor,” to see that the Returning Board there counted Tilden out and Hayes in. As the New* York Senate is Republican, Robertson will of course get his seat on a contest, but he don’t relish his own medicine. A writer in the New York Sun, sketching August Belmont, says: “Through the medium of Lionel and Nathaniel Rothschild, of London,and of James Rothschild, of Paris, Mr. Bel mont was in a position to learn in stantly of the least change in the at titude of the English and French Governments toward the South, and it was to his frequent reports that Mr. Seward owed a very large proportion of his best information on this sub ject’ So the ex-Chairman of the Democratic National Executive Com mittee was really the Mephistopheles of the Northern Faust. The South owes a debt of “gratitude” to August Belmont At the swell wedding in New Y ork W ednesday night, when Miss Florence Adele Vanderbilt was mar- ried'to Mr. H. McK. Twombly, of Boston,- the bride’s dress was of bro- ended white satin, the design being specially woven in Lyons from draw ings nude by Mrs. Connelly, who furnished [Nellie Grant’s trousseau. It consists of a grouping of primroses, buds and leaves, and cannot be dupli cated. Miss Vanderbilt wore long, white kid gauntlets, and low white satin shoes, displaying white silk stockings, with rich medallions of Vidgnciennes lace introduced over the instep. These latter cost $120 the pair-. Her only jewelry was a pair of superb solitaire diamond ear-rings. The bridal presents were not dis played, but were of unusual value and beauiy r as^tifsht be expected—among them being, it was reported, checks andBeeurifSesfromthetether of the bride representing an aggregate of $1,000,000. Do not become scared. The word means nothing terrible. It comes from two Greek words—podos, foot, and logos, discourse—and means a talk about feet; and what subject has produced more poetic fancies from Milton, through the lesser stars that have charmed mankind? They are articles which humanity finds the utmost conveniences, though experi ence has demonstrated they need not be necessities. The small and the large alike find their uses to excite admiration or span a ditch. John Randolph, of Roanoke, was cnee asked what he thought of a cer tain member of the House. “Sir,” replied^the cynic, “I think he wears the smallest boot of any man in Con- 8.” What more equivocal could have been spoken, or indication of contempt given ? It may have signi fied the dancing master made him. We find some giving their whole mind to their substmm, and culti vating hour after hour the excruciar ting agony of corns and bunions for the purpose of crowding their extrem ities into so much leather. Let it be at once remarked that small hands and feet are not tokens of gentle blood. They may be, but it is. not the £ule. The most notorious gambler, pick-pocket and thief may sometimes have these characteristics; but the English nobility,the proudest of earth because possessing the most of ancestry and wealth to be proud of, as a rule have both large hands and feet. An Arab shiek pretended to discover the nobility of his poet-guest, Lord Byron, because of his shapely- delicate hands, but if he had examin ed the commonest of his tribe his boasted prescience would have at once proved a falsehood. The modern idea is to crowd the foot info as small compass of leather as possible. If in society should the dainty limb be sprained so as to force the. surgeon to cut open the kid’s hide, he would find nothing of grace and beauty in the knots and abrasions the envious covering hid. The an cients understood matters better. They sought the proportions of beau ty, not the contractions of art, the curves of ease and grace, not the mal formations of tight banded toes. Napoleon once in his top boots was ridiculed by a young lady. These boots subsequently left their foot prints on the sands of time, and their wearer became immortal. The young lady who ridiculed and subsequently received a copy of “Puss in Boots” from the after hero of Lodi, Arcolh, Marengo and Austerlitz, is remem bered only as one whose brain Napo leon thought fit to appreciate “Puss in Boots” in literature and nothing higher. The calf can be terribly developed in thin soled shoes. Men now take something better than paper. They consult utility more than the old styles of taste, and after all charming utility is the basis of grace and at tractiveness. More attention to the foot and hand than the brain forms an attribute of the fop of the age. There is something in marks. Pal mistry is an occult sense with a modi cum of reason. The writer, if he be careless, wears his character in the black and blue stains of the hand. The pawn-broker shows a fat palm broader than it is long; the artistic hand is slight with long fingers; the sportsman and outdoor laborers have hard palms. Thjey can be told at a glancef but the feet are failures as tests. No geologist can come in alter years, and discover in the rock hard ened track the impress of some evanished creature and from that ac cidental and scant hint describe the race whence it sprung. That is not an unerring test for the noblest de scended race—the English—is noted for its large pedal extremities. When beautiful woman winds in any grace along the pave, male hu manity glances upon the ground at the tiny feet—and a little foot, propor tioned rightly, mind ye—is an essen tial of a lovely woman, a thing of beauty that is a joy forever. The cause of the male procedure is the maxim— all’s well that ends well. If the ex tremity be pretty, all else is safe. Why, the poets rave about it. Sir John Suckling made this pretty song: “Her feet beneath her petticoat, Like little mice stole in and out. As if they feared the light, But O, she dances such a way No' sun upon a Easter-day Is half so fine a sight," Even Herrick, centuries ago, talks .about “herpretty feet, like snails, did creepa little on, and then, as if they played at bopeep, did draw in again.” Scott wrote: GSORGIA NEWS. —Gov.

The flower, she touched on, dipt and rose, Andtnrned to look at her.” When Venus appeared to the he roes, shipwrecked on the Punic coast, the poet declares “she walked a god dess.” Neither man nor woman ever “walk a goddess” with cramped toes and a burning instep. What is the total? It is that those who bind themselves in misery do not exhibit the traces of pure blood, but the reverse. To be graceful means to be natural, and that can never be effected with tight shoes. None ever under such conditions proposed or were accepted. The world does not judge men nor women by their shoes except to see they are decently shod. Slippers are the rewards of labors done — the wisest work of loving hands, provided they are large enough. Walk the streets tightly clad as possible, but lift the narrow boundries when home is enjoyed, and make the feet happy—.^o soft and easy. Then it is the lover seeks liis heaven, the husband his surcease of sorrow, the wife her elysian of love. It is all in slippers after tight shoes. Podology offers the ecstatic delight to spectators and misery to the looked at; and then afterwards slippers and happiness, and oh! such thrills of de light, such as makes one believe there’s not a joy this world can give like the pain it takes away. The example of Troup and other counties in publicly expressing their choice in the coming Senatorial elec tion, by way of resolutious, &e., adopted at public meetings, should be followed by other counties through out the State. The Senatorial field, though quiet, is full of aspirants who will make themselves known as their strength increases. We call upon the friends of our noble Gordon every where to take this matter in hand. Where primary elections and nomi nating conventions have already been held, take advantage of the first large assembling of citizens to call a meeting and express the county’s preference.

The evi dence established that on Thurs day night, in the colored Methodist church, while a marriage ceremony was being performed, the officiating Elder said: “If there be any present who know' any reason why this cou ple should not be joined together, now* is the time to make it known, or forever after hold their peace.” AVhereupon the defendant arose and objected to the marriage proceeding further upon the ground that the groom was a “gay and fond deceived,” and had plighted his faith and prom ised to marry her. This produced great commotion and wild excite ment in the church, particularly amongst the female portion w r ho clamored to have the marriage go on, some of whom rudely seized her. The defendant w r as then arrested for disor derly conduct, A. A. AViley, Esq., defended her, and the Mayor, upon this evidence, discharged her. THE POPE. „ CHIaaenr Think* Would ke the ESeet or Ilia Death—A Few F**t» Ceaeenlag the Pope and the Cathode Chareh. Cleveland Herald.] “Bishop Gilmour, I believe?” “Yes, sir; a seat, sir.” “I have called to ask if you can foreshadow any of the prospects of the Roman Catholic Church in the event of the Pope’s death.” “That, sir, is not an easy matter to do. There are a number of opinions expressed winch go for what they are worth.” “But, sir, it would be expected that from your connection with the Church you would be so well in formed upon these matters that you could give some information that would be. Of interest to the general public.” . “I think the generality of the Ro man Catholics are about as well versed in these matters as myself.” “But among the ‘public at large there are others besides Roman Cath olics who would be interested in this matter.” “AVell, sir, as a Church, we think upon the death of the Holy Father a successor will be elected in spite of the efforts of the Italian Government. The Church will go right on with her work and her existence, although stripped of her temporal power. For we believe that the Papacy is eternal, or at least to the end of time.” Do you think the Italian Govern ment will make any attempt to pre vent the election of a successor to Pius IX ?” I do. In my belief, no sooner will the Pope die than the Italian Govern ment will take all measures in its power to control the action of the Cardinals and prevent the assembling of the Conclave.” “Do you not think it possible that any of the Cardinals may be in sym pathy with the Italian Government ?” “No, sir. I think there is not a General Toombs on the Homestead. In his late speech at Cartersville, in w'hich he spoke eloquently in sup port of the new Constitution, devot ing but little time and saying noth ing new on the capital question, Gen eral Toombs said: I considered the homestead of 1868 a fraud and a sham. It was notmade to protect women and children. It was an effort to array together the same men that Cataline took—the gamblers, thieves and outcasts—when he wanted to overturn the liberties of Rome. Bullock gave three thousand dollars in gold—nearly five or six thousand dollars with the premium on gold added at that time, and twice as much as the average of the people of Georgia had, or ever will have. They thought to make a patty of the dangerous classes. They wanted them to stand by them and perpetuate them in power. They failed. Congress put much of their infa mous scheme under foot, although it left the homestead. Now the matter is open to you again. So far as I am concerned I give you my own views. Uhave been in favor of a homestead aiid a liberal one. I do not look to the interests of either the creditor or the debtor. I look to the good of the public. I think it better to withdraw the homes of the women and chil dren in this country from the reach of traffic than to have all the prosper ity that could come from the gold of Ophir. [Applause.” AVhat is to be come of them if the wickedness, folly and vices of the husband can strip them of home and shelter? There is the public road! They are wander- era and outcasts! Every sun brings them no change for the better—only new miseries. They are on the road to the poor house—from there to the chain gang or the haunt of vice! I would give them a home where they can live virtuously and happily, and not have to steal their bread. I would raise the daughters where they would be ornaments to society, and the sons useful to the world—and I would do it if I had to break down the last vestige of credit. [Applause.] But it is not necessary to resort to that. This new homestead is protected; it is under the law of dower; it is not a cheat in valuation; it is given to the woman for life and to her children, and when she dies and is gathered to her God, she leaves it to her children. It is not large—not a principality— but a place where they can make an honest living, dwell in virtue and happiness and raise sons and daughters unto the commonwealth, that future generations will rise up and call them blessed. So I say, again, I am for a homestead for the poor, for the defenseless, for the wid- dows and orphans of the glorious old mother State.

There is greater strength and unity in the Church now than there ever was. There has never been a council held, until the last one, that was not fol lowed by some trouble in the Church caused by the definitions of that Council. But following this last Council (the Ecumenical Council) there has not been a single defection. The utmost harmony has prevailed since then.” “But was not there some trouble in the Church concerning the action of the Council on the subject' of the Pope’s infallibility?” “Not at all, sir. There was some slight irritation regarding the matter, but nothing that affected the Church. The infallibility of the Pope is an ar ticle of faith in the Church. The Council does not manufacture articles of faith; that is impossible. It simply defines them. An article of faith may be an open question with members of the Church until the Council takes it under considetation and shows that it is a part of the Church’s articles of faith, and when that is done all ad herents of the Church are bound to accept it. A good many of the Bish ops did not believe that the Pope was infallible, and were opposed at this late, late day to defining his infalli bility as an ‘ article of faith in the Church. But these were only details, and you can not make these details a foundation for the Church to build its faith upon. It is just the same as in Congress, where men may argue over a measure, but all finally vote for it, believing that it is the measure which the party, as a party, will indorse. But although these men may have been opposed to bringing the subject of infallibility up at this late day, it is nevertheless a fact that the Church has taught infallibility from the first. As early as the fourth century it was enunciated: XJbi Petrus, ibi Eeclesia —‘where the Pope is, there the Church is.’ AVhat the Church held in the beginning she holds to-day.” “Have you any idea who will be the Pope’s successor?” “That would be impossible to an swer. I do not think any one can state that fact with any certainty. It is much like a convention where it is almost impossible to tell who will receive the nomination.” “Have not the Cardinals planned this matter before this?” “I think this. The Cardinals have laid their plans for the future to this extent. They will, immediately upon the death of the Holy Father, meet in conclave and select a success or. Heretofore it has been customary to allow a few days (probably twenty) to elapse, before electing a Pope, but I think in this case, to elude the machinations of the Italian Govern ment, they will use all possible haste.” “AVill the masses in the Church revere a new Pope as they have Pius IX?” “They will revere him as much, but they will hardly show the same affection that they hold toward the present Pope. Pius has, by personal magnetism and worth, and by the constant struggle to which he has been subjected, won the hearts and love of the masses, which a new man will not get at first. Otherwise the respect for the new Pope will be the same.” “Are not the freethinking doctrines and skeptical ideas which are prevail ing to such an extent at present affect ing the Church ?”| “No, sir. The Church is bound in stronger and closer bonds than ever, and none of these loose ideas have crept in. All statesmen acknowledge that the Church has gained in inter nal strength which she has lost in po litical power.” “Do"you think the Papacy w'ill ever regain the temporal possession which it has lost?” “Yes, I think the powers of Eu rope will in time consider it best to make the Pope an independ ent potentate, and his Italian posses sions w'ill be returned. The reason for this is very plain. It is primarily essential that the Pope, as the head of the Church, should be independent, bound by nothing, and this he cannot be so long as hisjtemporal possessions are held by others.” Speaking of the general acceptance of the term infallibilty, Bishop Gil mour said: “Protestants evidently do not un derstand the term. They confound infallibility with impeccability ; that if a person is infallible he certainly can not sin. This is wrong. This word infallibility refers only to spir itual affairs. It means that the Pope can not utter an article of faith or morals that was not spoken by Christ ; that he can not make a mistake in the articles of faith enunciated. A man may utter the troth and still be a sinner. Thus Balaam prophesies from God, although at heart he was an idolater. When the high priest said, ‘It is better for the world that this man die,’ bespoke as an inspired priest of God, although his heart was filled with a hatred of Christ. Thus it is with the Pope, who may still sin and still be infallible.” “Do you think the death of the Pope will make any difference in af fairs in Europe ?” “Not at alL” After a short discussion of minor matters the reporter withdrew.

Cautionary sig nals continue from Cape Lookout northward. Neither house is in session and the committees generally are without quorumYm account of persistent rain. CHAMBERLAIN TO TESTIFY FOR CORBIN. Mr. Corbin has notified the Senate Committee on Privileges and Elec tions that ex-Gov. Chamberlain will appear before the Committee in sup port of his claim to a seat. ABOUT COL. FITZSIMMON’s NOMI NATION. It is almost certain that Judge Davis will vote with the Democrats and Mr.. Christiancy with his party on the nomination of Col, Fitzsim mons for Marshal of Georgia, and that the report of the Committee will be adverse. NO DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS. The contemplated caucus of the Democratic Senators was not held to day, partly on account of bad weath er, and partly because there was no important matter for consideration. It still appears that both parties con sider seats in the Senate a judicial question. SCHUKZ GETS THE LOGS AGAIN. Commissioner AVilliamson, of the General Land Offiee, is advised by special agent Carter, from Pensacola, that the U. S. Marshal has regained possession of the logs, lumber and naval stores recently wrested from him by the U. S. District Judge, Hill. [Note.—Weather very bad; reports slow.] PATTERSON CASE.

[ Washington Special to the Chicago Times, Nov. 21.] Two very important telegrams are in the hands of Spofford’s friends, and, if Kellogg is seated, the tele grams will be used. The first tele gram is from the Attorney General to the Chairman of the Louisiana Commission, directing him to recog nize the very Legislature that elected Spofford. The second telegram is from the same, stating that the Presi dent and Cabinet approve of the Leg islature as it was reorganized. In discussing the facts in these tele grams, very plain talk has been heard in Conkling circles. It is claimed that Mr. Conkling is bitter enough in his fight against the President to move his impeachment, if he thought lie could make anything by it, and these two telegrams, his friends say, would help him very much in mak ing out a case against the President, who has subverted the offices of a Governor and Legislature, whose titles were as good as his own. Of course this is the cream of the angry talk, and shows merely to what ex tent some of the anti-Administration men will go, even in thought. These telegrams could not be produced at present without a breach of confi dence, but as the President asked for six thousand dollars for the expenses of his Louisiana Commission, it is proper to investigate the matter to see whether the money can be legally appropriated. Such an investigation would be able to produce these tele grams. Indeed, if an investigation is made it will be for the special ob ject of finding what share the Presi dent actually took in the Louisiana settlement. TURK0-RUSSIAN WAR. MKHEMET ALl’S SUCCESS. London, November 24.—Mehemet Ali telegraphs from Ochanie, Thurs day: We arrived here to-day. The Russians sent one regiment of in fentry and one of cavalry from Ve- ratza against Nevisch. These were overwhelmed, and the cavalry regi ment, except six men, destroyed. We captured two guns and a number of prisoners. . OSMAN OPENS NEGOTIATIONS FOR SURRENDER. A special correspondent of the Standard at Guirgevo sends the fol lowing under date of Thursday: I have been shown a telegram from Russian headquarters, requesting the contractors to furnish 70,000 bags of biscuit instantly for the besieged in Plevna, as Osman Pasha has opened negotiations for surrender. GREECE RESTLESS. 1 ’A special from Athens says. the populace are exceedingly warlike since the recent Russian victories. ANOTHER REPORT. The Times' Paris correspondent says it is announced from Bucharest the Russians have ordered supplies of food in expectation of the early capit ulation of Plevna. REVOLT OF CAUCASSIANS. Vienna, November 24.—A dispatch from Tiflis to the Press, says: The Imperial corps will shortly attack Batoum with heavy artillery. The Caucassian insurrection is increasing. The insurgents stormed the fortified town of Kussar on the 12th and cap tured the garrison. FRANCE. STEAMER HERON COST. Captain Lost—Foor Officers and Thir ty Hen Saved. Washington, November 24.—The signal service observer at Kitty Hawk reports, at 3 p. m., that the surfmen have just returned and re port the Huron ..gone to pieces. Thirty lives were saved. All the others perished. No assistance was rendered. Four officers and thirty men from the Huron were saved. Captain Ryan was lost. The signal observer at Kity Hawk reports assistance wanted immediate ly. The men are only half clothed, and the dead uncared for on the beach. The others who perished are still in the breakers. The Huron was an iron screw pro- g eller, four years old, and of 521 tons. he had been out from Fortress Mon roe only twelve hours when the disas ter befell her. Cautionary signals were displayed when she left. The Huron was commanded by Commander Geo. P. Ryan. There were fifteen marines on board. The scene of the disaster was twelve miles south of Kitty Hawk. LATER. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] Nag’s Head, N. C., Nov. 24.—The Huron is completely under water. The saved and drowned will be sent to Norfolk. MEAGRE DETAILS. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] AVashington, November 24.—De tails of the saved from the Huron are meagre. The Government has adopt ed energetic measures to relieve the survivors, and hopes to rescue others. RAILROAD DISASTER. More Black Hall. An oldish man, having an apple- stand on AVoodward avenue, was yes terday, approached by a hungry- looking lad, who asked: “Say, ain’t you goin’ to gimme an apple?” “I’ll give you to the station first!” was the gruff reply. “You declare war, do you? All right, my old buckshot! I’ll stand right here for the next hour and tell everybody that you spit on your ap ples and then kurnisn ’em on your greasy old coatsleeve! We’llsee^vho u come out ahead in this mad' strug gle!” The boy did.

C., reports an accident on the Charlotte and Co lumbia road on a trestle at Fishing creek to the noon train from Colum bia for Charlotte. The train consisted of an express and baggage, two pas senger cars with 20 passengers. The engine reached the further bank, when the bridge fell, and but for a break in the coupling would have been pulled into the stream on the top of the balance of the train. The number and names of the miss ing could not be obtained last night. REPUBLICAN PAPERS AND THE NEW . CABINET. Paris, November 24.—The Repub lican papers censure the composition of the new ministry in contemptuous terms. The Union (Legitimist) says the Cabinet derives its significance from the appointment of M. AVelelie,whose politics are of the Fourton stamp in tensified. The Moniteur says the ministry will avoid all political discussion and devote itself solely to the public busi ness. It ivill ask the Senate and Chamber to adopt a similar course and thus establish a truce of the dis cussions which are disturbing trade, It w'ill explain to the Deputies the imperative necessity of immediately considering the budget, so as to reas sure the country'. The ministry will appear in the Chamber to-day. The Times' Paris correspondent says nobody doubts the debate in the Cabinet’s programme to-morrow will result in a vote of want of confidence, and it is probable the Cabinet will re sign. THE NEW MINISTRY A MERE EXPE RIMENT. Paris, November 24.—The new Ministry was gazetted to-day. The morning Republican journals regard the Ministry as a short lived experiment, and say Republicans cannot accept it. They will reject any idea of compromise as long as due satisfaction is not given to uni versal sufferage. M. Lepelletier, the neviy appointed Minister of Justice, was a distin guished magistrate of Coure de Cas sation. Politically he is conservative, but without enthusiasm for any monarchial party. M.

London, Nov. 24.—It is announced from Rome an attempt to cup the Pope failed, and has produced an af flux of humors to the chest. Cardinal Simeoni in view of the condition of the Pope’s health, has asked the Car dinals to confer with him on the gen eral interests of the Papacy. It is probable that a species of council of regency w’ill be appointed. LEE AND SCOTT. Hr. Lincoln’s Oiler of the Command or tbe United States Army to Gen. Lee, Philadelphia Times.] As confirmatory of the incident giv en by Hon. Allan B. Magruder in the Weekly Times of to-day, allow me to say that the letter which he gives from Gen. Lee to Hon. Reverdy Johnson was found by me not long after Gen. Lee’s death in his private letter-book, copied in his own well known hand writing. By the kind ness of the family I was allow'ed to copy the letter and publish it, in 1874, in my “Personal Reminiscences, An ecdotes and Letters of Gen. R. E. Lee” (pp. 141-142), where I also gave the testimony of Mr. Montgomery Blair and other proofs that the su preme command of the United States Army was offered Col. Lee before he left AVashington. I once heard Mrs. Lee speak freely of this event in the life of her hus band, and a gentleman of high-stand ing in New York has told me that in an interview which he had with Gen Scott, in April, 1861, he spoke in the very highest terms of Lee’s ability as a soldier and character as a man; told him the supreme command of the United States Army was offered him and said that he (Scott) would have cheerfully given place to “the ablest soldier in America” if he could have induced him to accept. The proofs are conclusive that when Robert E. Lee cast his lot with his mother State, he turned his back on the highest position that an Ameri can soldier could covet, and deliber ately chose the path of sacrifice, peril and loss of this world’s goods, because in liis judgment it was the path of duty and of honor. In June, 1868. he said to his trusted lieutenant, the gallant and accom plished Gen. Wade Hampton: “I did only what my duty demanded; I could have taken no other course W'ithout dishonor. And if all were to be done over again, I should act in precisely the same manner.” Men will differ as to the course which Gen. Lee thought proper to pursue in siding with A T irginia and the South in the great struggle, but no fairminded man can examine the proofs and doubt for a moment that he acted from the purest motives— from the highest sense of duty and honor.

The Sliding of the Wheels or Locomotives.— All railway engin eers are acquainted with this phe nomenon, which has hitherto been considered as only produced when what is called the\adherence falls be low the limit calculated for the weight which tbe engine IhasTto draw. M. Rebeuf has lately had occasion to ob serve certain facts which lead him to the conclusion that sliding is an oc curence much .more general and more complex than has been hitherto sup posed. Not long since he was charged with the trial, on the Northern Rail way, of a new engine of great speed. The locomotive had coupled wheels, 2m 10c in diameter, and the inherent weight of the machine was about twenty-seven tons. In the experi ments,the engine, without any weight to draw, descended a very slight gradient at the speed of 120 kilometres (five-eighths of a mile each) an hour. That rate would correspond, mechan ically, to 303 revolutions of the wheels per minute, but they in reality made 360. Consequently, they slipped on the rails, ana if they had not done so the engine would nave obtained a speed of 143 kilometres per hour. Much astonished at the fact, he re peated his observations on a certain number of locomotives of different types, comparing their actual speed with the rapidity of the rotation of wheels, and he always found that the sliding was almost null when ascend ing a gradient, but that in the de scending the loss from slipping was, on an average, twenty per cent. The inference he draws is that, if the cause of this singular circumstance can be London correspondence of the San Francisco Chronicle. So the Duke of Norfolk—that so de voted son of the Roman Catholic faith that it was so long predicted by some he would end as a priest and _ make over everything he possessed in the world that he could make over to Holy Mother Church—has at last en gaged himself to take for better or worse the Lady Flora Hastings. The fair damsel is grandniece as well as namesake of that most infelicitous and hardly-used Lady Flora Hast ings about whom, in the early days of the Queen’s married life, there was so very much talk. The Lady Flora of that time was beautiful, the Lady Flora was fascinating,perhaps also the Lady Flora was not above indulgence in the delightful excitement of flirt ing just a tiny little bit with some body else’s husband, above all when that somebody else’s husband was handsome and of royal blood, although, indeed, the royal blood was only that of a moneyless Teu tonic princeling and Grand-ducal second son, who, according to a popu lar song of the period, came over from his native land with nothing more valuable than his father’s blessing and a German sausage and sixpenny piece in his pocket to “marry the Queen of England.” At any rate so runs the story of many years ago. “Albert the good,” forall that he was something of a prig, apparently could not resist the temptation which prompts us less perfect mortals, “when far away from the lips that we love,” to solace ourselves with making “love to the lips that are near.” Lady Flora’s eyes were pret ty; prettier, maybe, than those of the less-fair royal Guelph, and, if Lady Flora’s cherry mouth said nay to the good-looking Prince, it was, perad- venture, the nay that is liker unto yea. And, thus, one day, it befell that the princely and aristocratic lips came closer together than, consider ing all circumstances, was quite,quite proper. AVhile Lady Flora and Al bert the exemplary were “whisper ing tbe soft nothings,” and quite wrapped up in their spooning, her Majesty! herself pounced on them. Tableau! Confusion of the good young man, terror of the single lady, wrath of the royal wife! Lady Flora, so says rumor, came in for boxed ears, and never, never, never was she suf fered to set foot again within the pre cincts of the court. Doubtless the Prince was treated to an improving course of curtain lectures, but on this point we can only hazard surmise, as into the myseries of the royal bed chamber it is not given to outsiders to penetrate. It is quite possible, see ing that the Queen had an explosive temper, that his royal hair became thinner on his royafhead awhile after that day. Anyhow he grew a sadder and a wiser man, bade a long fare well to flirtations with Maids of Hon or any other of the fair sex, betook himself to study, invented a military that so supremely hideous that Punch and everybody else made everlasting fun of it, composed songs in honor of “Victoria’s Smile” and other subjects, pious or sentimental, became (early) prodigiously stout, balled and unromantic-looking, took to patron izing the arts and manufactures, Germanized the nation as much as he could and as it would stand the pro cess, and eventually turned out quite a fine character. But poor Lady Flora took her expulsion from the royal palace very deeply to heart, and many people, thinking she had been harshly treated, sympathized with her. AVhen she died, which was not until she had written a voimie of poems and founded an educational establishment in Scotland, matter-of- fact folks pronounced the cause of death to have.been disease of the liver, while sentimental ones declared it to have been the effect of a broken heart. Apropos of the fl irtations with roy al princes, it is said that the stories so often whispered against the Prince of AVales’ morals are quite half of them fabricated by the many fair ones who would only too gladly fall in love with his Royal Highness, if only his Roy al Highness would fall in love with them. Poor fellow! how terribly bored he must be—if he has any sense—with a bevy of houris all making eyes at him and desperately languishing—of course for the Prince and not for the man. AVhy cannot they leave him in peace, now that his figure is grow ing aldermanic? His hair is thinning fast at the top—has the“Rose of Den mark,’ assisted nature, in that re spect, I wonder?—and his years are verging toward that period‘in man’s existence when illusions are outlived, and when one sees the paint and tinsel that adorn each goddess, and has come to think a good dinner and plenty of it far preferable to any number of sonnets to a mistress’ eye brow, no matter how splendidly pen cilled and perfectly got up—provided inspection be not too close—that eye brow may be. The latest thing in nice little scandalous stories about the court is that some fair lady, blessed in the usual fashion of my sex, with a tongue more remarkable for length and activity than discretion, took it into her silly head to boast that the Prince of AVales was in love with her, the truth being that he had spoken a few civil words to her about half a dozen times. The story reaching his ears, he wrote to her a very angry letter, demaning to known what she meant. This was a snub, but one well deserved. It might perhaps have been a more dignified proceed ing on his part to have taken no notice of her idiotic talk, but princes cannot surely be expected always to command their tempers any more than other folks. One of the prttiest photographs, carte de visite size,of the royal family, which lias lately come out, represents the Queen sitting on a chair and look ing uncommonly stout and well, with Prince Beatrice kneeling in affec tionate attitude before her and the Duke of Connaught, Victoria’s third and best looking son, standing up be side them. It is rather suggestive, and would be quite so if but the Prince were also on his knees, of the concluding scene in old-fashioned melodramas, where the hero and he roine, after having made a runaway match, come and cast themselves at the feet of the “heavy father”—in this case mother—to implore pardon and to weep, while he, in lachrymose accents, exclaims, “Bless you, my children, be happy. Here are <£50,000 for you!” In the photograph the Prince looks gentlemanly and band- some, and I am bound to confess that our 20-year-old youngest Princess, save and except that unlike her brother, she cannot boast a mous- tasche, looks handsome and gentle manly likewise; for she has on the severely simple” style of costume which, happily, seems at last to be coming into vogue, the gentlemanly felt hat with scarcely any trimming on it, and no flower or feather visible, the plain waistbands and collars/iuite innocent of lace or frill, and the dress of soft, dark material almost nunlike in the absence of flounce or furbelow. . , T * 1 ® or «.* oven, = A breakfast-biscuit or ten »..n with Dooley’s Yeast I>ow r ' )F °" tainly the queen of the oven i ftr - white and delicious.
