"Now, your Eminence." said the reporter to Cardinal Lavigerie, "won't Crispi hato you as the future Pope!" "I can't be Pone," replied the CardinaL "It would be folly to think of it There aro fifty Italian cardinals against twentyfive foreigners. The Italians will always elect an Italian, because they think, and with reason, that a Pope chosen from the center of a gTeat foreign power might excite jealousies, and consequently divisions and schisms. If a Frenchman or a German were Pope his election would constitute a danger for the church. The Pope must, therefore, belong to a little nation, and tho Italians know that very well." "Who do you think, then, will be tho . next Pope?" "I could not say. Those who are pointed out as probable candidates generally die before the one whom they are supposed to succeed. Moreover, you may rest assured that Leo XIII will live for many nears to come. His father and his brothers have lived to a very advanced age. and he is not eighty yet But tho day that they will nominate a foreigner, he will be a Swiss, a Belgian and, indeed, I would not be surprised to see an American elected. But a Frenchman, never." "But it would be in the interest of the papacy to havepardon me; your Eminence to have a man with some backbone in him, and that is the reason people speak of yon." Contradict that ridiculous story about the fortune-tellers that predicted to ray mother my elevation to the tiara and the future meeting of a council at Lyons, with, mo as its president My mother was too sensible a woman to listen to such stull." Black but Comely. New York Letter." I once heard Bishop Holly, the negro bishop (Episcopal) of Hay ti, preach a sermon before the dusky but gorgeous "Sisterhood of Good Angels" of his llock from the text "I am black but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem." He told the darky sisters how, though black and despised, thej might by good works make themselves comely and honored in the sight of tho world. After many years this occurrence came back tome as I stood watching ex President Legitime and his party a set of coal-black aristocrats atone of our hotels. Good-looking, wide-awake, but undeniably African in spite of their sprightly French speech, were the exiled ruler and his statf of generals and secretaries. They go to Pans, of course. There color does not count if one has money. Perhaps the World's fair of 1893 may teach New York a similar indifference. The Demand for Office. Washington Post. "There is no such rush for office as most . people think," said aTreasury official, as he. sampled his lunch. "I don't mean by this that there is no ono asking for place, but the heads of departments are not being bored near so much as they have been in tho past. Of course, I understand that this is the dull season, and that there are no Congressmen in the city, but aside from that there is not such a demand for place as you might think for. I think the people are coming to tho' conclusion that this thing of holding ofiicol is not such a blessing after all, and are satisfied to let well enough alone. There havo been comparatively few changes in our di vision, and the prospects are that there will be but few in tho future." . Where Trusts Flourish Most. Iowa State Register. Trusts are old institutions in England. The have them there first it seems. They are just now arranging to put bread in trust. Free-trade countries seem to breed, trusts. The latest we hear of the salt trust in this country is that it is a failure. It nourishes in England, and the people aro taxed 100 per cent by it on their salt. Americans do not seem to bother with little trusts. They must be immense and tho returns large or the trust certificates do not sell. Before we suffer with trusts as they do abroad we must have cheaper, plentier money, as foreigners have, and by that time we may have discovered how to handle them.
