Details of tho rrt or n Knglidiman for ' FurnUhlng Arms to Chinese II be I a. 8an Francisco, Oct. 21. The Occidental and Oriental steamship Oceanic arrived late last night from China and Japan. She brings further details of the case of Mr. Mason, the British subject arrested for furnishing arms to rioters in China. The Uotaiat Shanghai held an investigation on tbo subject, it aeetns a large amount of rilles and ammunition had already been smuggled io. no less than two thousand stands of 'arms being received at Chin Kiang alone. When the last lot reached Hong Kong the police were suspicious, but did not locate theiu After the arms had left for Shanghai it was learned that they had been shipped as steel in the manliest. The Shanghai authorities were warned by cable, and the arms seized on arrival. They were in possession of Mr. Mason and some Chinese. The penalty fur furnishing aid to rebels against China, the crime charged to Mr. Macon, is imprisonment for two years at bard labor, 5.10) tine And finally bini.Hhn.ent. Mason was aided by six sailors, half of whom are educated men. it is believed that the steamer Kwanglee, which recently went up the Yangte-Kiang from here, carried a large amount of dynamite, besides arms and ammunition. There seems to be no doubt that a very large number of Europeans are concerned in the present conspiracy for rebellion, and it is believed that any action by the Chinese Government looking to the punishment of the rioters, unless backed by a foreign force,, would result in a general outbreak all over the north. The North China News of Sept. 17 says, editorially: "It is startling enough for the present lor foreigner to learn that the plot tor an early outbreak of rebellion was so ripe as events have shown it to be. .Meanwhile investigations are going on by no means smoothly at I'ekin. The Wulm official who was said to have been degraded for his culpable conduct during the Wtihn riot has been presented with many testimonials by his countrymen. A petition for his restoration to office has been circulated, and it will be successful. The conduct of this man is at the bottom ot all the troubles. He sent telegrams over North China stating otucially he had found in the houses of missionaries the bodies, etc., of children. The statement, which bo never retracted, tired th Chinese heart from Wnhu to Tcbang, and was the immediate caure of the riots. The meeting .f prominent l'aun men and their ..resolution to rebel if necessary to cause the expnlsioc of foreigners, reported previously iu the dispatches, has been confirmed." - A dispatch from Shanghai says: The Kolahut secret society has caused the walls of Woo Chang, a large city in the province of Hoo Pee, on the Yangtse Kiang, to be placarded with posters announcing that nil missionaries will shortly be exterminated. r , ITitY AXI3 THK FOFE. . SIcvor Critpl Dtseasses the Temporal Power Question In a Vigorous "Way. ' ?;kyv York, Oct, 21. The North American .Re vie v.- for November prints the first of a series of articles by ex-Premier Crispi, of Italy, entitled "Italy and the Pop.,., After tracing the causes and events which led to .the unification of Italy and the various conflicts between civil authority and the temporal power of the Pope in the last hundred yeats. Signor Crispi says: "Rome 1 under the Pope was a' gangrene spot which must have poisoned the whole body of the nation. From 1S0O onward it had become the asylum of all the fallen dynasties a cave ot brigands who infested the southern provinces of the peninsula. The redemption of the Eternal City was not only a logical consequence of tbe restoration of Italian rights: it was necessary to the pacification of the country. "For a people thotighttoexistinireedom and independence long antedates anyVeaon of princes or any international treaty. Conquest or usurpation, the (rood luck of a despot, may suspend the exercises of this Tight, but they do not diminish it, much f s can they May it. The nation reassuines if own autonomy almost as soon as it has fr-ed itself iiom the grasp of sicredotal and civil tvranny. "The question of tbe temporal power of the Pope has troubled for many years tho minds of all Italian statesmen, certainly it has been for us the most dilticult to deal with in consequent with the universality which the head of tho church poesesses by virtue of his mission. When favour had determined that the temporal power must coum to an end through pacific means, and by an agreement with the .Catholic world, that illu.strioumini.ster was thoiirst in our time to undertake seriousiy the study of means to arhievo this end. He died too soon to witness the failure of his policy, liaribaldi was prevented from cutting the gordian knot, but without the cannon the portapia would never have been opened to tho natiou to take possession of its capital." GENERAL FOREIGN' NEWS. Hon. W. E. Jacftfton Appointed tr the Chief Necretaryshlp of Ireland. lcial to tbe Inrtlanapoil Journal. Lon pox, Oct. 21. It has been settled that the Hon. W. L. Jackson, now the Financial Secretary of tbe Treasury, will be promoted to tho chief secretaryship for Ireland. The choico is not received with enthusiasm by tbe Conservatives. As a man of business in the treasury Mr. Jackson is highly esteemed, but there is no evidence that be possesses tbepernliar qualiticationsof Mr. liulfour tor a forceful grasp of Irish at!airn. The appointment is regarded by nmne as signifying that the government means to pursue a waiting policy in Ireland and allow the two factions to butt each other to their hearts content, with only enough interlerence to make a show of preserving the peace. Clerical lteaten in t hill. Sastiah. Chili, Oct. 01. Flections for presidential electors and members of the Senate aud Chamber of Deputies were held on Sunday last. The day passed quietly. The Clerical party met with, an overwhelming defeat, while the Liberals have a handsome majority in tho Electoral College, the duties of tho members of which are similar to those of the presidential electors in tho L'nitd States, with the important difference that the members themselves appoint the chief of state.

Mr. Parnell declared that Mr. Gladstone's adoption of 1)oi:i rule hail nothing todo with right or justice. It was the olid cichtvlive Irish votes, and nothing else that intltieueed Mr. (iIa:lstone. Mr. Parnell described Messrs. O'lfren and Dillon as mad enthusiasts; Dillon was without brains, while OTlrien bad minims braiu power, lln believed the.

The Czar has given 3,000,000 roubles from his own private purse to the famine fund, and has issued an appeal to the members of the nobility and the landed gentry to form another fund for the relief of the famishing people. It is reported that anti-Jewish riots have occurred at Tchernigoff, aud that matters grew so bad at that place that the troops had to interfere to protect the Jews from the violence of their persecutors. The mob, in its hatred toward the people, was animated by the belief that the Jews bad caused tbe scarcity of cram, which has created so much distress in this country. Another Itisr British Gun Cracked. London; Oct. 21. A crack has developed in the 110-ton gun on board the liritish iron-clad Victoria, tbe flag-ship of the Mediterranean squadron. The defect is in the inner tube near the muzzle, and tho gun bas been sent to Malta, where the defective portion will be cut oil'. It is hoped that the cutting otl of the end will not impair the efficiency of the gun. Tho Post, dilating npon these constant gun failures, says that the matter must be probed, and asks whether such heavy guns are necessary, adding? "Many authorities contend that we need reform, both in regard to weight and in regard to the system of rilling.' Cable Note'.

A revolt broke out in one of the prisons of Lisbon yesterday. Troops were called out to quell tho revolters and the boldiers bred at them through the windows. Several were wounded. The committee of the French Chamber of Deputies having the matter in charge has agreed to report in .favor of suspending the dramatic censorship for three years. This action is in the nature of au experiment. Fifty Albanians yesterday attacked a party ot Montenegrins who were traveling in the direction of the Servian frontier. Five of the Montenegrins were killed and one other of tho same party was severely wounded. The Council of the city of London bas decided to confer the freedom of the city on King Humbert and Queen Marguerite, of Italy, upon their visit to London in The late General Garibaldi was the last Italian to receive tbe freedom of London. It is announced that Mr. Parnell made a will in favor of Mrs. O'Shea before he mar ried her, but that the marriage au nulled the will, and therefore he died intestate. Mrs. Parnell is entitled to half tbe personal and one-third of the real estate left by Mr. Parnell. Two handsome volume of poems written by John Kuskin at various times when be was between tbe ages of seven and twentySix, have just been published.

WANAMAKEIt OPTIMISTIC. Hopes to Soon See a Postal Telegraph That Will Reduce Hates One-lUlf. Fpeelal to tbe ItxlliTisprlls Journal. Washington", Oct, 21. "Xo; I have not given up my light for postal telegraphy," said Postmaster-general Wanamaker, in talking to-day about the disruptions in tbe press associations. "On the contrary," continued he, 'T intend to push postal tel egraphy with all my power, for I am coulident it will be a good thing for everybody, and believe the present press association changes will help tbo tight. It has oeen a mystery to me why the Press Associations and the bulk of tbo great newspapers in them antagonize postal telegraph)'. I presume, of course, they get very satisfactory differential rates of toll from the Western Union Telegraph Company; hut it is proposed to give them differential rates under a system of telegraph controlled by the Post otlice Department for the people. 1 contend that with the machinery of the Postoftice Department, its otlice room, mail and special delivery and carriers, a telegraph service can b j given the people which will be as good, if not better than is now atlorded, at one-half the present ta rills, it is not fair to presume that with half the facilities already acquired lor furnishing a telegraph service this can bo done, when you tame into consideration tho fact that (rood dividends are paid on tstoek watered so as to represent twice tho actual investment of capital. "The newspapers would support the measure oilered in what will be an amended postal telegraph bill if they only had confidence in the ability of tbe government to mako a success of it, I am confident," continued the Postmaster-general, 'and I am coustraiued to believe the trouble lies in a lack of ability of the government to manage as well as a corporation. So far as ditlerential rates are concerned to meet the demands of capital invested, I think a sliding scale should be provided, whereby the largest customers ought to receive the lowest rates, as tbe very life of our press associations depends upon differential rates. I understand, of course, that tbe object in newspapers associating themselves together is to get advantage in news gathering and transmission. If it was not for that we never .would have had great newspapers or press a&sociatious. it could be arranged or provided undsr a postal telegraph law that discretionari' powers for making ditlerential rates should be vested iu certain othcers and thus the demands of the press' could be met fully. At present the masses pay tbo dividends on a stock watered at least 100 per ceut. Now, if tho government run the telegraph wo would have to pay no dividend; there would be no watered stock. Everybody could get much lower rates, and tbe press wonld be taken care of fully as well, if not better, than at present. "1 a in in hopes that tho dissolution of press companies and tbo examinations which are being made into telegraph contracts will demonstrate to the newspaper proprietors, as well as tho readers, what 1 know now; that there is no nse of anybody paying present rates when they can be had so much cheaper without injury to any one. An incident in connection with my business at Philadelphia occurred not long ago which shows pretty well the principle I am trying " to illustrate. A telegraph company wanted to put a branch otlice into my 6tore. It offered me 5 per cent, of the gross receipts. I told the managers that they could put their otlice in and be welcome if they could give the 25 per cent, reduction to those who patronize the otlice in my store, and give me nothing. They refused to do it because they said it would be making ditlerential rates. They were willing to give the per cent., but not to tbe people. So it goes. There isnothing given to the advantago of the common people. It all goes to those who do not need it. "It is my ambition to give the poople a telegraph service at half the present rates, including newspapers, to make the free delivery of mail universal in all thicks-populated communities, country as well as city, and to see newspapers and literary publications go free through the mails. I want to see this the leading couutry of the world in all that makes intelligence, culture and enterprise, and do yon believe tne, I expect to see this all in a very short time." . ItAIslNG THK EMBARGO. Secretary llask Thinks France Will Soon Admit Our Pork Kate of Duty. Special to tbe Indianapolis Journal. Washington', Oct. 2L The action of the tariff committee of tbe French Seuate yesterday, in recommending a duty of 25 franca per one hundred kilos on salted meats of all kinds imported from the United States, is regarded as an official declaration of tho purpose to lift the embargo from American pork. Secretary Husk expresses the opinion that the committee of tbe French Senate will agree in conference with the committee of the Chamber of Deputies to the rate fixed last session by the Chamber of Deputies. According to that rate there is a sliding scale. 15 francs being the minimum and 20 francs tne maximum. Tbe action of the Senate committee yesterday was, he thinks, simply a proposition to raise the maximum. The fixing of the exact rate will be left to tbe Cabinet, aud this rate, tho Secretary believes, will be 20 francs. '"If I am right, he said to-day, 4the duty will be about 76 cents less than tbe duty fixed by Germany. Germany's schedule is $4.70 per -23 pounds; the French schedule, supposing that 20 francs is decided upon, will be 84." It is thought that, having the sliding scale, the French Cabinet may tix a rate that shall equal that of Germany. Tbe Secretary has hopes that the rates of Germany, aud later that of the others, will be before the 3'ear materially lowered. Whether they will bo depends upon the negotiations now going on between the representatives of Germany and this country. The next country after France to raise the embargo is expected to be Austria-Hungary. Overtures have already been made to this country by the agents of Emperor Francis Joseph, and negotiations will shortly bo actively under way. Nothing has yet been heard from Pottugal on the subject. Live Sniue Wilt Not lie Admitted. Washington, Oct. 21. Tbe Department of State to-day received a cablegram from 31 r. Whitehouse, tbe American charge d'affaires at Rome, stating that the government of Italy has removed tbe restriction upon tbe importation of swine products from the United states, if accompanied by inspection certificates. The decree against the importation of live swine is still in , force. UNCLE SAM'S SOLDIERS. Msjor-General SchoUHd's Report to the Secretary or War The Sioux Campaign. Washington. Oct 21. Major-general Schorield. commanding the army, bas made bis annual report upon tho operations of the army to the Secretarj of War. lie reviews the Indian disturbance of last winter. He recalls that nearly one-half of the infantty and cavalry of the army was concentrated at the scene of disturbance, and then says that this campaign teaches tho lesson that the entire military force of the United States would be wholly inadequate to prevent great los of life and damage to property if a general Indian outbreak should occur. However, be believes that no considerable number of the Sioux inteuded hostilities against the United States unless driven to it by hardship. He says: "There is hence a wellgrounded belief that, by the constant exercise of discretion in the management of Indians, coupled with justice in all dealings of the government with them, and tho pres
ence of a sufficient military foree to overawe the turbulent minority among them, there need bo no serious apprehension of an extended uprisi ngof the Houx. and probably not of any other Indian trih. it is also well worthy of the most 6erious consideration that. bv the addition of a few
thousand men to tbo enlisted strength of the army, whereby a fcurarient force might at all times be stationed in tho vicinity ot tbe great reservations, the damage of an uprising and resulting destruction of frontier settlements would be entirely re moved, and the great expense of transportation of troops from distant parts of the country entirely avoided." Major-general Schorield then makes a strong plea for a reorganization of the army. The report notes with satisfaction the adoption by Congress of a definite policy of improvement of the coast defenses. Touching tbe enlistment of Indians in tbe army, tbe report says tbe policy bas not vet progressed very far in its execution, but tbe remits have been entirely satisfactory, and it should be adhered to. Complimentary reference is made to the high state of efriciency of the artillery, infantry and car airy schools; and of the new system of examination for promotion, the report savs it will, in the end, undoubtedly serve to improve largely the general state of military education. Touching the discipline of tbe army, the report says: A11 the reports show that the general state of discipline in the army is excellent, the one lamentable exception being that of the Fourth Cavalry, at Fort Walla Walla. The measures which have been adopted for the improvement of the condition of tbe enlisted men. and for tbe exclusion of undesirable characters from enlistment, have worked together to elevate the character and increase the contentment of tho soldiers, without in any measure, it is believed, impairing their eftlctency. The winter campaign against tbo Sioux developed the most cheerful endurance of the greatest hardships, as well as great gallantry in action, and a total absence of desertions whilo iu the held in tho presence of the enemy." THE NEW "PHOBS." MAKES A ItEroitT. Operations or the Weather Bureau Under Chief Harrington Improving tbe Service. Washington, Oct, 21. Secretary Knsk has received from Mark W. Harrington, the chief of the Weather Bureau, a special report of tho operations of the bureau since its transfer to the Department of Agriculture, July 1 last. Mr. Harrington says the service has been reorganized with a view of carrying out the expressed intention of Congress to especially develop and extend its work in the interest of agriculture. Tbe observing force outside of Washington was reorganized immediately after tbe transfer by tbe appointment of "local forecast officials." These officials were t assigned to duty at tbe large cities of the country, with authority to make predictions for their stations and vicinity, giving the weather more in detail than the Washington forecasts, which they would thus supplement and amplify. There have been several signal-display stations established upon the request of interested parties, who agreed to have the signals displayed without cost to the government. The daily cotton-region reports, consisting of maximum and minimum temperatures and ram-fall, met with great favor. Attention has specially been directed not only for the improvement of the weather forecasts, but their wider distribution, particularly in the agricultural districts. More attention has been given to tho issue of the forecasts for a longer period in advance which accompany the general synopsis of the weather conditions, and which, when practicable, are added to the predictions for the several States. The most practical and most highly complimented portion of the exclusive work of tbe State services is the issuo of the weekly weather crop bulletins. On Sept. SO there were over twelve hundred weather-signal display stations in operation, an increase of about 300 per cout. in less than three mouths. There are now, probably. 2.230 voluntary observeis in the United.. States, reporting to the Weather Purean, an increase of about four hundred in ' the past thieo months, and steps are being taken to cover every section of each State or Territory in the United States with volunteer stations of observation, so as to leave no section without stations from twenty to thirty miles apart. A compilation of climatic data for . southern European countries, including tbe Riveria, called for during July of the present year, has shown that portions of the United States possess climatic conditions surpass-" iug in some respects those of tbe health resorts and sanitaria toward which travel has been directed for a century. MINOR MATTERS. An Ex-Meinber or Congress Who Is Continually at Law in the District Courts. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Oct 21. Ever since John M. Glover came to Washington as one of the St. Louis Representatives in Congress, be has been figuring as plain tilt' or defendant in civil suits before tbe District courts. To-day he began another suit against the administrators of his mother-in-law, Auastaia Patten. Mrs. Patten is remembered as a woman of great wealth, who gavo $100,000 as a present to Mrs. Glover when she was married. When the estate came to be administered the other daughters thought this 8100,000 should be charged up against the share of Mrs. Glover, 'ibis started the lawsuits, and they have been multiplying ever since. The St. Louis Congressman was prominent in politics whilo a member of tbe House, and was at one time a strong Democratic candidate for Governor of Missouri, but he is seldom recalled no w except by the snarl of lawsuits iu which ho is involved. Letter-Carriers Mast Not Play the Races. Special to the ludlanapohs Journal. Washington-. Oct, 21. It bas been found upon inquiry by the Postoflice Dopartmeut that the Philadelphia letter-carriers who were removed recently by Postmaster Field were in the habit of "playing the races' at Gloucester, a sporting resort. They were recommended for removal by General Kdgerton, inspector in charge at Philadelphia, as persons liable to bo untrustworthy of the honest delivery and collection of valuable mail. For this reason General Edgerton recommended their removal and Postmaster Field promptly concurred. It is stated at the Postotlke Department that before thesi discoveries were made) tbe dismissed men had begun to have a demoralizing etlect upon the carrier force of the otlice. Wreck of the Despatch to He Investigated. Washington-, Oct. 21. The report of Lieutenant Cowles upon the wreck of the United States steamer Despatch has been received at the Navy Department. It is merely a brief statement of the facts already well known and contains no comment or explanation whatever. It is customary ill such cases for the officer to reserve bis testimony for later use under oath. The Secretary of the Navy to-day ordered a court of inquiry, to consist of Capt Montgomery Sicard.

Price is principal stockholder, and which bas for two years been furnishing this city with fuel, to-day notified its patrons to be prepared to have their gas shut off Dec. 1. This -action is not brought about by scarcity of gas, but because the citizens insist that the company shall continue to furnish gas at contract price of 10 cents per l.OuO cubic feet, which contract has eighteen years yet to run. The company demands an advance to 25 cents, and has instituted a game to freeze out. Much litigation will be the immediate result.

He Is Not Altogether Practical, and Did Not Fit In the tamhip Ituslnts. New York Correspondence Philadelphia nefs. Notwithstanding tbe conrteous intimation that Mr. Carl Schnrz retires from bis office as managing director of the Hamburg-American line of steamers with the best of feeling all around, it is certain that there has been ome friction. Mr. Schurz has not relished certain things which have been done iu the home otlice, and has been annoyed by interferences wholly of a businesa nature. He. therefore, sent his resignation to tho company, and no very earnest ellort was made to have him withdraw it. There arc to be radical changes iu the management, and tbe company is to carry on its business directly and without the aid of agents or middlemen, whom it bas employed on commission for many years, it astonished Mr. Schurz's friends wheu he turned bis backon a career which had been conspicuous, and at times successful, and that at an age whenhe had passed his prime he should have undertaken such dilticult duties and heavy responsibilities as are associated with steamshin management. Mr. Scburz has been a good executive, but his executive experience bas been mainly confined to political oflice. In the steamship business the poetic and imaginative side of his intellect sometimes dominated his business sense, and he has been more likely to be exhilarated by the romantic and poetic qnalities displayed by a superb steamship beating the record than he was by those sterner and more prosaic elements of the business, such as freight charters, which, after all. were what the company relied upon for its dividends. A little thing has also, perhaps, influenced Mr. Schurz. Last winter he found himeelf seized by the; old literary f over, which he had thought was dead within bim, and, iu response to a suggestion from tbo editor of the Atlantio Monthly, he wrote a brief paper on Abraham Lincoln. The work delighted him. It was like a vacation to a business man. The charm of composition again fascinated him, and was revealed in the essay itself, which commanded instant attention as soon as published. Schurz bad succeeded in saying something new of Linooln. and of proving himself a better critic and keener analyzer of Lincoln's life and qualities than had been others who had written more ambitiouly and at greater length. So great was the demand tor this essay that it has been republished between covers. Schurz found that his literary instinct was not dead, but had been only sleeping, and it was a stronger tempter than business life could possibly be. That probably had something to do with bis resignation, and he now tells his friends that he expects to devote himself to literature, and perhaps to politics. If hechooses to go into politics in New York city something of a career awaits him, although it would seem that a man who has been a Senator aud Cabinet mmisiter wonld not be likely to bo content with such honors, GLOWING WORDS FOR HARRISON. ' lie Could Be Secretary of War, State, Treasury, or Chief-Justice If Necessary. Milwaukee Sentinel The country is beginning to recognize tbe fact that President Harrison, instead of being the intellectual pigmy which his political enemies have portrayed, is really one of tbe ablest men that every occupied the presidential chair. A Western Senator," says the Minneapolis Tribune, ''remarked tbe other day that Harrison could assumo the ofbee of Secretary of War, Secretary of State. Secretary of tbe Treasury, Secretary of the Interior, or Chief-justice of the Supreme Court, and discbarge the duties of any of them with ability and to the entire satisfaction of the country. And," he added, "it takes a pretty big all around man to do that," There is no exaggeration in this statement. Mr. Harrison is both an accomplished lawyer and a clear-headed man of alfairs. He is also one of the best publio speakers in the couutry, equally ready and happy in making an elaborate political address, an argumeut at the bar or brief speeches on occasions of the most diversified nature. The attempt has been made to represent bim as owing his present position mainly to the fact that bis grandfather was President. He is caricatured as a dwarf crushed under tho weight of his grandfather's bat. But nothing that he has ever said or done indicates iu any manner that be has banked on his grandfather's prominence. He began life in poverty, and made his way in tbe world by the force of nis own ability. That be is not popular with some politicians of bis own party is no doubt true, but there is reason to believe that the fact is due to causes which relied honor rather tnan discredit upon bis character. The greater number of those whom he bas offended have been applicants for oflice lor themselvesor their friends, and bave-been disappointed. All Presidents must make enemies of this kind, and the less worthy tbe applicants the more violent and demonstrative will be their methods of expressing resentment. We believe, however, that the people of the country in geneurl recognize the fact that in President Harrison they have an honest, able and independent chief magistrate. a iividi:i SOUL. The O iter Superstition of the Countess of Caltlu esa, Madame Iiluvatsky Successor. Lormon lHuttrateJ News. The Queeu ot Caithness is a very remark able woman, .he believe that a portion of tne soul of Mary Stuart is reincarnated in Lady Caithness's own person. It is only a portion of the 6oul, however, which she claims to possess. She believes that at this moment the soul of that Queen animates live different bodiea! The theory of reincarnation, w bich the Biavatskites adduce as a novelty, is. of course, only a theory of one of the oldest of religions Buddhism. But. as far as I know. Lady Caithness is orignal iu her idea that one soul may blossom forth in after-incarnations divided into several personalities, as a number of roses spring from one root. Lady Caithness resides in 'Paris. She was born at Madrid, tho daughter of a Spanish fatner and an Engl.sh mother, and married, in the brst place, the Spanish grandee whose title is now borne by ber son the Duke De MedinaPomar. Her second marriage was with tbe Earl of Caithness, who is also now dead, it was in bis ancestral home that it was revealed to Lady Caithness in some supernatural manner, that theis a portion of the soul of Mary Queen of Sec ts. Prom that time the Countess devoted herself to collecting relics of Mary. In tbe magnificent bouse m the center of tho llcnlevard Malesheibes, where Lady Caithness now resides, there is a stately chamber ap-rropriati-d to Mary Queen of Scots, t is hung with line ancient tapestries, and furnished in antique fashion, so as to be as'mucb as possible like a room that might have been occupied by the Queen in the day of her regal state. A beautiful picture of Mary Muart. iu oridal robes, painted in her early youth, about the time of ber marriage with Kiug Francis, hangs in the room; and in an antique armoire there is a most interesting collection of well-authenticated relics of tbe unfortunate Queen.

There was a pretty touch of courtesy in a Brooklyn church on a recent Sunday. Alter the service bean some late-comers, evidently strangers, were 6hown. other eeats beiua occupied, to the yery front pevr. There were four of them and they scrupulously followed the routine of worship, rising and remaining seated, as they noticed those around them doing. At tbe hymn before the 6ermon. having stood during the singing of all the others, they rose an well. It is the custom of the congregation, how. ever, to sit for this hymn, and tbe four stood alone when the first note was struck. Only for a few seconds, for a young wouihu, a church member, who saw the mistake, rose to her feet to share the situation with them. An old gentleman just behind her followed suit, another at his side joinea the standers. and in less than a minute the cntiro congregation was on its feet, put there , by the quick tact of one young woman. And the strangers never know they tad blundered. Without 1'rcjudlce. , Efrlnirflpld Republican.
