When Henry George converts a man to his peculiar views it seems that he does it thoroughly. It seems to be the plan of the lessees of the Western and Atlantic railroad to claim everything and take what they can get. Dr. MeGlynn takes the Pope's bull by both horns. It is a question, however, whether or not he will be able to hold on. Civil Service Commissioner Edgerton says that Indiana is for Cleveland. No doubt the Republican organs will revenge themselves by calling for the Commission er's resignation. (Jen. Simon Cameron, of Pennsylvania, will leave for Europe on Saturday. He doubtless wishes to inform himself as to the progress of Mr. Blaine's Presidential cam paign on the other side. Gen. Thomas L. Clingmau, of North Caro lina, says: “Sometime it will be recognized that a Southern citizen has the welfare of the country at heart as well as any other.” The fact is already recognized by all men of good sense. The English papers are angry with Mr. Gladstone’s American admirers because they presented a t**stimonial to him. They might as well get in a goal humor, for their anger will intimidate neither Mr. Gladstone nor his admirers. The King of Siam rejoii-es under the name •f Phra Paraminar Malm Clmlalon Korn Fhra Chula Chern Klag Yu Hua. Queen Victoria, no doubt, was grateful that he split his brother to her jubilee instead of being present himself. The first "bale of cotton sent from Texan to New York this year was raised by a woman, Mrs. Houseman, of Cuero. It was sold at tlie cotton exchange for 33 cents a pound. It would seem, since the price was a high one, that “first" bales are bought for fame. At Schuyler, Cal., the other day a militia company of thirty-six privates and thirteen officers was sworn into service. “Organized according to army rules," the Captain said, when he paraded his command. He was mistaken. A few more officers were needed. Dakin, the expelled member of the Michi gan Legislature, has monumental cheek. He wishes pay from the time of his expul sion to the close of the session. It cost $3,300 to turn him out, much more than should have been spent upon a creature so worth less. In a Brooklyn court the other day, a law yer went a little further than usual in bad gering a witness. He asked his victim if he was ever an unidentified corpse in a New York morgue. A hoctoring lawyer is a sort of a nuisance, and should be sup pressed. John IVanamaker, the Philadelphia mer chant prince, was fifty years old on Sunday lust. He celebrated the event by quiet ly at tending to his duties as a Sunday school superintendent. Many other men would have celebrated in a way not nearly so com uendable. Senators Plumb of Kansas, Vest of Mis souri, Allison of lowa, and Cameron of Pennsylvania, have gone to Montana to •pend n month with ex-Gov. Hauser. They have wisely determined to give politic; a l est until the weather grows cooler. It is a pity they couldn’t have prevailed upon fertaln other politicians to follow their ox tmple. The United States Consul at Honduras is t man named Burchard. Not long ago he sxpresaed the opinion that Honduras was in greater need of missionaries than Africa. To revenge themselves the citizens have a-ained their dogs to bark at him as he passes along the streets. Burchard is a tame that seems bound to get its owner into trouble. It is said that no other business Ims bad nore rapid development than electric light ng, and that in no other have men so sud lenly grown rich. It is believed that gas is loomed, and that in a few years more the Qectric light will even largely su))erccde oil Ights. Perhaps the triumph of the electric Igbt will gradually cause weak eyes to disap ear. It is much more steady than any Cher. l The Race Question North and South. The case of the colored clergyman and his wife who were compelled to leave a first class passenger car and ride in a smoking car on a Georgia railroad a couple of weeks ago is being quite generally discussed by the Northern Republican journals. The case lias been brought to the attention of the interstate commerce commission and doubtless that body will have something to say about it soon. But, in view of the prejudice which exists at the North against colored people, it is rather remarkable that Republican journals should make so much out of every instance of race prejudice which occurs in the South. They were not at all demonstrative in their condemnation of Mr. Bradley, the owner of Asbury Park, a summer resort on the New Jersey coast, when he announced, a few days ago, that he wanted the colored peo ple to keep away from that place because they injured it by their presence. It would not be at all difficult to point out other cases which have occurred recently at the North showing that the white people there are no more tolerant of contact with colored people where there is an assumption of equality than the white people at the South are. The Georgia railroad, if the facts were stated correctly, committed a crave error in accepting first-class fare from the colored clergyman and his wife unless it was pro posed to furnish them with first-class ac commodations. To sidl them tickets which entitled them to places in a first-class car and then to force them to occupy seats in the smoking car was a wrong for which the rnilroud company ought to bo held re sponsible. The Northern people who see compara tively few colored people and, hence, are not prepared to speak on the merits of the color line question from a practical stand point, would doubtless entertain very dif ferent views with regard to it if the per centage of the colored population at the North were as great as it is at the South. In some parts of the South, if the colored people were permitted in first-class cars they would drive the white people out of them not only because of their numbers but also because of their uninviting condition. Of course there are plenty of neatly dressed and well behaved colored people in the South, but their number is hardly noticeable compared to that of the rough laborers from the cotton fields, turpentine farms and lumber dis tricts, who crowd the trains. The North has no occasion to charge the South with unreasonable race prejudice. The Hebrew at the South has every courtesy shown him. He is welcomed as lie ought to be, and sees no discrimination against him. Does he find the same courteous treat ment at the North ? Not only is Judge Hilton’s great hotel at Saratoga dosed against him, but he is liarred out of many other places where guests are received. The North is not in a position to lecture the South on the race question. Dr. McGlynn’s Insincerity. It is quite evident that Dr. McGlynn is not as honest and sincere a man as he would like the public to bdieve he is. On last Sunday morning, after he had been notified that there was a registered document for him at the post office, which he had reason to suspect was a notification of his excommunication, he went to a church whose officiating priest had not read the morning papers and partook of the com munion. He suspected that he had no right to do anything of the kind, and he also knew that if the officiating priest had been aware of the publication of the notice of ex communication he would not huve adminis : to red communion to him. And vet he seems to get some satisfaction out of the fact that notwithstanding that he was excommuni cated he succeeded in a sort of underhand way in participating in one of the most solemn services of the church. The thing, however, which brings his in tegrity into question the more seriously is his refusal to state the true cause of his ex communication. He insists that he was driven out of the church because he advocated a land theory which the church does not regard with favor. The notice of excommunication, however, states very plainly that his offense was disobedience. It is true that there was some question about the advisability of permitting a priest of the Catholic church to support in public spa-echos Henry George’s land theory, and Dr. McGlynn was ordered to Rome to explain the theory and to give his roasons for advocating it. He refused to go, and for his disobe dience he was excommunicated. If he were the fair-minded man he pretends to be he would say that ho would not submit to the discipline of the church and was, therefore, turned out of it. What would have lieen the course pursued with regard to him if he had gone to Rome it is impossible to sav. That question is a matter of no importance now. In view of the fact that it is possible that Dr. McGlynn may play a prominent part in politics, it is a matter of some in terest to have clearly understood the true reason for his excommunication. The Fogarty Case. Public sentiment undoubtedly sustains the decision of the court overruling the motion for a now trial in the Fogarty case. The defense of Fogarty was that being an epileptic he was not roi>onsiblo for his actions. The same thing was urged as a reason why anew trial should he granted. The c'ourt called attention to the fact that the plea of insanity was not set up during the trial. If that plea had been made Fogarty’s mental condition would have been inquired into, and if it had been found that he was so unsound mentally as not to be accountable for his conduct he would not have been tried for the crime for which he was indicted, but would have been sent to the insane asylum. Instead of pleading in sanity Fogarty’s liberty was asked for, and the jury found him guilty. If Fogarty is insane it is clear that he is a dangerous lunatic and ought to bo placed under some restraint. If ho is accountable for his conduct, then, of course, he ought to be puui-shed for his crime. If his friends considered him insane, it is reasonable to suppose that they would have set up the plea of insanity when he was tried. It was hardly to be expected that the jury would ilnd him to he insane when those who had the best opportunity of judg ing of his mental condition indicated by the course they pursued that they did not con sider him to he so. Comptroller of the Currency Trrnhohn thinks that Briggs Swift, of th< Fidelity Bank of Cincinnati, and all other orna mental bank president*, should he held jk>- cuniarily rosjionsible for betrayals of trust by the minor officials of their banks. Under such circumstances ornamental bauk presi dents would soon disauuear. THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, JULY 14, ISR7. Complaints of New York Hotels. It is said that the New York hotel keepiers for the first time in many years are eom pilainiug of dull business. Asa rule their houses are about as well filled in summer as in winter. People from all parts of the country go to New York when seeking or returning from summer resorts along the Atlantic coast, and thousands go there who do not patronize any other summer resort than Coney Island. It is said that two things have helped to keep visitors away from New York this year. One is the general disturbance which business has suffered on account of strikes and the other is the provision of the inter state commerce law which prohibits rail roads from issuing passes. It seems rather remarkable that the abolition of tiie pass system should have a damaging effect upon the New York hotels, but it is nevertheless asserted that such is the ease. There were hundreds, and perhaps thou sands, of pieoplo in every Htate who had in fluence enough to get a pass for a trip) to New York, ami they generally took this trip in the summer. Now that they have to pay a good round sum to get to that city the great majority of them do not go. The pass system, however, never was any great bene fit to these people, because, feeling they had saved their railroad faro, they were gener ally more extravagant than they otherwise would hnve been. They were alsiut certain to spend the amount of the railroad fare in addition to what they would have spent had they paid their fare. The New York hotel keepers, however, are as a rule so prosper ous that they can afford to have a few dull weeks in the summer. The Prohibitionists in Louisiana are pre paring to make nn attempt to drive liquor out of that iState. A convention will lie held in August, at which measures will be devised to secure the desired end. The call for the convention concludes with the fol lowing ringing words; “In conclusion we desire to state merely that this is a wave of that non-partisan prohibition movement that is stirring so mightily in every South ern State, strictly within the lines of pres ent political organizations, and which aims to draw to itself all persons of every party, creed, sex, and race who can see no good reason why the normal rate of taxation should le increased four-fold in order that a handful of men should lie protected in sell ing poison to the rest, and who propose to make this ‘a government of the people, for the people and by the people,’ instead of, in the language of Canon Wilberforce. ‘a gov ernment of the whisky traffic, for the whisky traffic, and by the whisky traffic.’” One of the Georgia delegates to the Na tional Convention of the Travelers’ Protec tive Association, held recently in St. Louis, says that the principal events of interest to the organization were the following: The adoption of the Ohio plan or idea, which places the local divisions, formerly posts, as tho basis upon which to build up the or ganization; the adoption of an insurance feature; the formation of an employment bureau, to assist merchants in the selection of men for special business, and to aid meri torious employes, unengaged, in regaining employment. The Georgia delegation was pleasantly treated. Mr. Joseph Hirsch, of Atlanta, was elected a National Vice Presi dent. Mr. O. P. Pindell was re-elected President, with a salary of $2,000 per annum. The next convention will lie held at Minneapolis, Minn. The organization is daily growing in strength. Where matters of religious faith are con cerned people are slow to accept anything that looks like change. “Perhaps never in the history of printing,” says a Philadelphia publisher, “has a book fallen so flat, from which so much was expected, as the Revised Bible. Hundreds of thousands of copies were issued, either to remain on the book sellers’ shelves or to be finally sold at pound rates like so much waste paper. I do not mean to imply that as many Bibles are not bought as formerly, but after the first curiosity to compare the revised edition with the old was satisfied, people returned to the King Janies version, to which, in all prol lability, they will stick as long as the world lasts.” It is said that among government clerks in Washington there is a mania for re signing. Strangely enough, the mania is a sort of tribute to the efficiency of the civil service rub's. It Reems that the government has been supplied with such excellent material by the Civil Service Commission that the appointees are being sought out by private establishments. “Offers of higher salaries and larger oppor tunities. M says the Washington correspond ent of the Baltimore Sun, “are inducing the most capable of the government clerks to seek their fortunes in the broader walks of commercial life.” It is announced that the condemned Chi cago Anarchists have* given up all hope of a new trial. Funds are still being collected, but instead of being applied to defray legal expenses they an* to be used for an entirely different purpose. Twenty or thirty per koils are to Ih sent out over the State to pro cure signatures to a petition to Gov. Oglesby praying that the death penalty may bo com muted. A stated sum is to he paid for each signature secured. If Gov. Oglesby has the interests of society at heart ho will let the law take its course. The way to prevent assassination is to hang those guilty of it. Frank Burr in a letter to the Philadel phia Times says that Secretary Bayard looks old and broken. Deaths in his fam ily and the labor in the State Department seem to have told upon him. Whatever his success or failure has lieen or may l>e as an executive officer, it is probable that his public career is pretty nearly ended. He seems to lack his old fashioninl pleasantness of manner and cheerfulness. Ho goes out very little socially, and the men who knew him as a chum when he entered the Cabi net now rarely ever see him. Ho seems to be tired of politics. Col. Thomas Porterhouse Ochiltree, whoe principal occupation just now seems to be telling Anecdotes to the reporters of New York papers, says that ho intends to run for Congress next year. He claims to have the choice of at least three districts—the Galveston district in Texas, the Baru toga district in New York, and Mayor Hewitt's old district in New York city. It is likely that Col. Ochiltree will suffer a disappointment. He is too well known in the districts he mentions to lie elected to any office, grout or small. Oscar F. Harvey, the Treasury forger, in signing his name to cheeks and other busi ness papers, invariably writes backward. He begins with the word “Harvey;” he next writ** the letter “F,” and then comes the name “Oscar,” which lie writes Iwkward, beginning with the letter “r.”. Hereafter government employes who w rite their nanus backward will be obiects of stuiDicioiL CURRENT COMMENT. Advice to Be Heeded. From the Sew York Times (Rep.)

A Sorry Day for the Republicans. From the Missouri Re ym!A icon (Dem.) Sam Randall is having lots of trouble in his district. Even a real Democrat threatens to run against him the next time. It would be a sorry day for the Republicans if Randall should happeu to get left at home. They Have Only One Motto. From the Sew York Herald (Ind.). The organs of the Republican party have only one motto, and if you keep that in mind you will understand all the fine rhetorical trapeze work which they are now getting in. That motto is: “When the bktfdy shirt K r *es to the laundry we go to the cemetery of dead issues.” They Certainly Will Not. From the Sew York World (Dem.) The logic of over protection carries its de fenders to gr*at lengths. An organ of that school rejoices because several foreign coun tries are adopting or considering duties upon breadstufTs. The increased cost of food to the poor people of those countries could perhaps be viewed with unconcern, from the philosophy which enables men to l**ar the misfortunes of others with oqu/inimitv.

A Montana Editor’s Thrilling Night in a St. Paul Hotel. from the Chicago Herald. “I know a good joke on an editor from Helena, M. T. t " said a conductor on the St. Paul, “and I guess I'll have to tell it. He's a Colonel, but 1 shan't give you his hist name. List week he came into St. Paul on business, and after regis tering at the best hotel in town started out to see the sights. It was about 2 o'clock in the morning when he returned, a little the worse for wear. It happened that the night porter who showed him to his room was only about half awake, and without knowing what he was doing ushered the Colonel into the hath room attached to the apartment assigned for his use. muttered ‘G’night, sir,' and disappeared. Next morning at the breakfast table the Montana Journalist met an acquaintance, and said to him: ' ‘Fine hotel, this.' “ ‘Yes, one of the best in the country.' “ ‘Do you like their new-fangled beds?' “ ‘Their beds are all right, though I didn't know that there was anything new about them.' “‘Well, they've got the darndest bed in my room you ever sot eyes on. It's more like a coffin, and there wasn't a blamed bit of cover on it. I was cold all night. Jt's true that it's mighty fine to have water so handy that when a feller gets thirsty in the night he don't have to get out of bed for a drink, but the worst of it was in my case that it was just my durned luck to leave the thing runnin' a little the lost time I took a drink out of it, an' when I woke up agin I was nigh drowned in cold water. Never spent such a miserable night in my life.' " Senator Vest’s Story. From the New York Tribune. Mr. Vest, while not a success as a political prophet, is one of the best story tellers in the Senate. One day something was said in his presence about the negro as a soldier. Vest contended that in exact, literal ol>edience to and enforcement of orders the colored soldier is un surpassed. He said: “After the war 1 went up the river to Shreveport on a steamboat. There was a large quantity of government cotton on the levee, protected ny negro sent ries, and there were strict orders against smoking. I went ashore with Mai. Gillespie. Now the Major was one of the best fellows in the world and he was such a stickler for superiority on account of birth and race that he would hardly admit that the Caucasian and the negro were proper subjects for comparison. He was a man or fiery temper, too. and withal as brave as a lion. As he was lighting a cigar at the gangway I remarked: **Major, the or ders against smoking are very strict," “Never mind,*' he replied, “I don't see any about except nigger guaras." Well, w r e had not walked a dozen yards when we heard the command: “Halt, and the click of a trigger as the ham mer was raised. We halted. There stood a soldier, black as the ace of spades, looking at us along the shining barrel of a Springfield rifle. ‘ Drap de segah, he said. The Major looked at the gun, at the man behind it, at the segah' and Then he let the lighted 'segah' drop to the ground. “Tromp out dem sparks' was the next command. Again the Major looked at the gun and the man behind it. and then he meekly ‘tromped out dem sparks.' After we got away, I offered the Major a ‘segah,’ but he said that he didn't believe he cared to smoke." An Address That Ought to be Made Right Away Quick. From the Chica/jo Tribune. “Young men and women," some practical old physician will say some day in addressing a graduating class in medicihe, “you are about to go out into the world as doctors, to extract a living from its inhabitants. Most of you are young men, and I take it for granted that you are gentlemen, although I don't know such to be the case. A few of you are young women, and 1 take it equally for granted that you are ladies, though for purposes of scientific demon stration my opinion ou this subject could not tie taken as conclusive. But 1 trust you may be mercifully spared from the folly or ever speak ing of yourselves as lady doctors or gentleman doctors. The one title is appropriate as the other. Let the scrubladies, the washladies, and chamberludics, the salesladies and ihe foreladies continue to monopolize the professional use of the word lady Never let me hear of a lady doctor. The term Is ridiculous. If I had a daughter who callod herself a lady doctor I should try to marry her to some gentleman preacher, and then I would have them both put in a glass case and kept on exhibit ion as a warn ing to mankind.

The Lord created you male and female. Re member that. It is not a reproach to you, or He would not have done it. A medical college can only make you doctors.

Harrell, Secretary of the North Carolina Teachers' Association, 27J of whom spent sev eral days in this city last week. Mr. Harrell came on several days ahead of the association, and asked Senator Ransom to go with him and introduce him to the various steamboat and hotel proprietors, with whom he wished to make special rates. Senator Ransom demurred, and said he did not think his constituents sent him here to attend to that kind of business. He added, somewhat impatiently: “What will be the next fool thing the people of North Carolina will be guilty oft" Mr. Harrell promptly re plied: "About the next fool thing tliev do. General, will lie to re-elect you to the united Slates Senate" Ransom's good humor was re stored, and he went to the desired places with his free s|M>ken constituent and sec ured, with his accustomed suavity, the desired rates, etc. Preparing tor the Popo'd'Jubilee. From the Pull Mall Gazette. Cardinal Manning and the Bishops of the Province of Westminster have issued a pastoral letter to the "Reverend and Dear Kilt hors ami Hear Children of Jesus Christ." It c ommences hv stating that "the sacerdotal Jubilee, or the close of tlie fifty years of the: priesthood of our Holy Kather Pope Leo XIII. will fall on :he last day of December next," and that the Catholic Church in all lands is preparing to mark the day with thanksgiving and offerings of love and veneration. The tribute from England will lie an address to his Holiness from the bishops and clergy, with oblations of Peter's pence, to lie largely increased by special effort. To these will Ik- added works of art aiul industry and a collection of the original works of the Catholics of Great Britain. Ills added that “the offer ings of peter s penes will be presented to the Holy Kather by a deputation of the bishops of England, who will proceed to Rome in Decem ber. Mies Lilly white’s Party.

A woman in Long Island City who was sitting up waiting for her husband, saw a burglar efs feeling an entrance to her house the other morn iug between 1 and 2 o'clock, and as he crept up stall's, dark lantern in hand, she hurled at him a four-quart water pitcher with all her strength, hitting the burglar on the head. The dark lan tern fell, as did the burglar, but he escaped. A man was in the habit of feeding the gulls from the bridge crossing the river Limat at Zu rich. One of the more eager of the birds acci dentally knocked his benefactor’s hat over loard, when, to the surprise of all, it darted down upon the floating hat, and, after repeated trials, succeeded in rising with it in its l>eak, and flying over the bridge, dropped the hat be side the owner. The new pistol law in Texas, which went into effect on July 4, punishes by line and imprison ment all persons who carry on or about their persons, saddles, or in their saddle-bags a pistol, dirk or other deadly weapon. And to a drum mer who asked if he could not carry a pistol in his traveling bag the Galveston Xeiva replies no, unless he has his traveling bag checked, as it is the evident purpose of the law to prevent people having pistols within easy reach. In Cuba a woman never loses her maiden name. After marriage she adds her husband’s name to her*own. In being spoken of she is always called by her Christian and maiden names. To a stranger it is often unite a task to find out whose wife a woman is. Sever hearing the wife called by the husband's name, one naturally does not associate them together. The children take the names of both parents, but place the mother's name after the father's. Dr. William James contributes an article to the current issue of Science relative to the pre vention of sea-sickness, and remarks that in crossing the British channel he thought he pre vented “an attack of sea-sickness in nimselr by nibbing with his Augers the mastoid processes.” The great American travelers will now look up their anatomical charts to locate their mastoid processes. The German's prevention of sea sickness is still in the lead, viz,: “Don’t go on the poat.” A curious premonition of death occurred to Isaac Mushrush, a workman who was killed by the explosion of a boiler near Pistsburg re cently. On Sunday, the day before the explo sion, he was much depressed in spirits, and told his wife that he feared some great calamity. At 2 o'clock Monday afternoon the explosion occurred, and Musnrush was killed. At the same hour, l>efore it was possible for the news of the accident to reach his home, his little child left his play and rushed into the house, crying: “Oh, mamma, papa is killed! papa is killed!'' The strenuous efforts a noted geographical publishing house of Brussels has just been mak ing to issue a large map of the Congo indepen dent State afford an amusing illustration of the rapid progress of discovery in that part of tbe world. Nearly three months ago it was an nounced that the map would be, published in two weeks. On the eve of printing some discoveries wen* announced and publication was deferred in order to put them on the map. Later news from the Congo, such as Van Gele s exploration of the Mohaegi affluents and John de Brazza’s journey down the Licona were so interesting that the'cartographers really could not think of issuing their map without them, and so there were further delays. The map was positively announced for last week, but by the time it reaches this country it will not be sur prising if it is a trifle behind the times. According to the St. James Gazette there has been lately some improvement In the condition of the unfortunate ex-Empress Carlotta of Mex ico, A young Austrian lady w’ho has been act ing as her dame de compagnie for some time I>a.st, and who happens to oe an accomplished musician, sat down to the piano a few evenings ago after the Empress had retired to her apart ments for the night, and played, among other things, the Mexican national hymn. Just as she was finishing the last bars the Empress sud denly appeared at the door of the room. She gave a piercing cry, uttered her husband's name and fell senseless on the floor. This is the first indication which she has given for several years of any reminiscence of the terrible catastrophe which cost her the loss of reason; and her pny- , sicians base favorable anticipations on’ the incident. A St. Louis paper tells how a woman in that city cured her husband who had become addicted to the use of liquor of the habit of fre quenting a certain saloon where he met a party of companions. There was a large party in fhe room one night , and her husband was the jolliest of them all. He was just telling how he had fooled his wife with a story of an extra exami nation he had to pass at the custom house that night, when the door opened, and in she walked with a 1-year-old baby in her arms. She didn't say a word, and the party sat like statues, while she went up to her dumb founded husband, placed the baby in his lap, wound his limp arms around it and walked out without giving the others a glance. The silence continued about a minute while he thought over the matter. At last he got to his feet with the baby in his arms, looked at his comrades helplessly, and then went out and took a street car home. He was not seen in a saloon again. A correspondent of the Dublin Freeman's Journal describes one of the chief guests at Queen Victoria's jubilee in unflattering terms. “There is,” he says, "no need to ‘scratch the Russian' to ‘find the Tartar' in the Grand Duke Serge—the Tartar is there in unodornedand un varnished ferocity. His beard is croppted short, ilia moustache is clipped in a straight liue across his mouth, and each separate hair has as much of an independent existence as the quills of a porcupine. He lowered and glared upon the crowd, while his wife in a carriage behind him was, next to the Princess of Wales, the prettiest royalty in the show, though, perhaps, the slightest suggestion of shrewishness in her ex pression. The Grand Duke was att ired in an exceedingly picturesque hussar uniform. The shako was a species of turban with a hand of sable, and the vest was a mass of gold braid, while the coat slung over the shoulder was of gleaming white." Spkakino of Mme. Rouvier, wife of the French Premier, a writer in Truth (London) says that when Uambetta was in office he gave a dinner at which she was placed beside the Pope's Nuncio. She contrived to lead the conversation round to theological subjects and showed such masterly familiarity with them Hint his emi nence fairly lost his breath with astonishment. The Council of Trent, the Concordat, and bull after bull and decretal after decretal were turned over, ventilated and disposed of with as much light grace and ease as Mme. de Sevigne showed iu tedding new mown hay. For an o ment the Nuncio thought he must Ik; the victim of a practical joke, which, as the carnival had begun, it had pleased Gambetta to play, and that, he was seated next a doctor of divinity dressed up as a lady; but a pair of splendid shoulders and a pair of lustrous ox-eyes showed him that his passing suspicion was unfounded. So he said: "Wh-n I hud the honor of iieing pre sented to you, mndame, your name escaped me. Have the great kindness to tell me who you are. Your knowledge of theology astounds me." To this till- followingansw-r was returned: “There is nothing astonishing ill it. I was, monseigneur, for years the wife of the Abbe Constant." Anamosa, Ia , has a case of twins that is ex citing a good deal of interest. A man is con fined in the penitentiary there charged with the crime of bigamy who claims that he is the vic tim of circumstances. He says that the offense was not committed by him, but by his twin brother, who looks so much like him that they were always compelled to go about labeled so that each could tell himself from the other The women in the case think they know what they are talking about, but n great many people think they do not, and thit really someone has "mixed those babies up."
