Russian peasants will be prohibited by law shortly from selling or mortgaging their lands. ,_i.i ~ .. One of the most interesting presentations at the Vatican for a long time was seen the other day when the Holy Father received Mgr. Couppes, Vicar Apostolic of New Britain in Oceaniea, the first who have ever been seen in Europe from those regions. - the opening of the New Year the first Catholic periodical ever produced in the south of the Dark Continent has made its appearance. Its title is “The South African Catholic Magazine,” and its place of publication Cape Town. It is the official organ of the hierarchy. ' Australia has adopted a written constitution closely resembling that of the United States, and calls itself the Commonwealth of Australia. The chief executive is to be a Governorgeneral appointed by the Queen, but he will not be much more than a figure-hoad. In the newgovernment the power of the crown is a figment. Australia is gravitating steadily towards seperation from Great Britian and republican govei'nment.

The physician at the head of the Michigan Insane Asylum is an economist of decided ability as has been discovered by the legislature invest - gating committee. He keeps the tients on short commons, sells tho food and pockets the money, keeps back a month’s wages from each employe when discharged, and pulls the teeth of patients, ostensibly to keep them from biting the attendants, more probably to reduce the consumption of provender. A man of such marked ability should be given a wide field, say as tho inmate of a penitentiary.

Canals do not seem to have an easy time of it, in the way of money for their construction. The Suez Canal was under three different organizations before completion; the Panama Canal has come to grief after swallowing enormous amounts; "the Nicaragua enterprise “didn’t get there,” with the United States subsidy or guaranty, Now word comes that the great Ship Canal, which is to Manchester a seaport, is hard up. The Canal Company has bor. rowed all the money it could, and the city corporation has agreed to advance $12,500,000 for the completion of the great enterprise. -

The new war scare in Europe, so far as the public is able to judge, has no good reason for being. Emperor William does not appear to be in a bellicose mood at present, and if the stories about his mental derangement be true it would be to the interest of his chief officials to dissuade him from war if ho contemplated anything of the sort. France seems to bo minding its own business with a good deal of persistent success, and Italy neither desires nor can afford war. The only disturbance to this Arcadian state of affaire which is at all likely to come is from Russia, and that country is hardly in a yet, Seven with the aid of France, to plunge into the European war.

It is not often that a regular army officer has a good word to say for the Indian, but Lieutenant Glass, a recruiting officer at St. L6uis, is an wepptinn.. He'has many years’ experience as a commander of Indian scouts. He says that in spite of all that has been said and written about the treachery of the Indians, his experience is that they are only treach- " erous when they have been treacherously dealt with. Square dealing with them, he says, will always secure square dealing in return. As to their personal honesty he says: OWhen you lend an Indian money you don’t need to take a mortgage on his pony in security. He thinks more Of paying his debts than of supplying his necessities, and will pay what he owes if he has to go Jnungry himself. I have had Indians out with me for mouths, away from any source of money supply, when I have been obliged to lend the men under my command sums ranging from $1 to $8 or $lO to buy little necessaries until we could get back to heaJouar ters and draw our pay. In these transactions I have often been beaten by white soldiers, but I never lost a cent on an Indian in my life. No doubt many persons have had a very different experience with the Indians, but thus testimony from one who has bad 4 good deal to do with them should count for something.— jodianapolis Journal.

MADE HOME HOWL.

Frightful Explosion of Gunpowder in the Eternal City. Hundreds of People Wounded, Several Killed and the Whole City Shaken— Many Houses Demolished. An explosion of 150 tons of gunpowder* on the 23d, shook Rome, Italy, to its foun-l datlons, spreading terror and dismay on' all sides. The people rushed from their homes into the streets, houses rocked, nlc-l tures fell from the walls, thousands of! panes of glass were broken everywhere,] crockery was shattered, furniture was] overturned, chimneys crashed down upon l the roofs, and in some instances toppled over into the streets below. Tho cupola* of the House of Parliament immediately' after the explosion shook violently and then collapsed with a crash which added still farther to tho feeling of horror which had spread through the city. “The scenes in tho streets and In the houses after this fearful explosion have! possibly never before been equalled in dramatic effect during the history of modern Rome. All the thoroughfares were strewn with bricks, stonesl splinters and othor debris, bnrleo there by the force of the powerfu, concussion which had causod Rome to totter on its foundations. People of all aged and conditions were rushing, pale with fear, about the streets, trying to seek consolation from others who were as thor-, oughly terrified as themselves. In the’ houses doors, windows and cupboards were burst open. Rents and cracks appeared in the walls, the plaster fell from the ceilings and general desolation prevailed. In many instances people were thrown from their beds by the shock which caused so much alarm, and cries of terror filled the air as thousands of families rushed out Into the streets, Parents with children in their arms, children leading aged parents, tho younger helping the elders, made for the streets as if the only chance for safety depended upon their being able to reach the open air.

All the houses within a radius of a kilo-, meter of the scene of tho explosion ara seriously damaged. /Two officers were dangerously wounded, and nearly 120 civiliznnsbavebeen taken to the hospital, 1 suffering from wounds or bruises caused by the explosion. King Humbert, who was heartily cheered whenever his presence became known to the populace and soldiery, 1 used his own carriage to convey wounded! people to the hospital. The shock which caused Rome to tremble did not spare the Vatican. That venerat*. ed (pile shook with the rest of the Roman buildings when tho force of the explosion was felt, and several of the historical stained glass windows of the old buildings were shattered. The windows in the an* cient Raphael chambers and the stained glass in the royal stair case presented t« Pope Pius IX by the King of Bavaria, were serioifkly injured. Seven persons areknown to have been killed.

A Hair’s Breadth.

••Two or three vears ago,” said a train dispatcher, “f was sitting at my instrument one morning shortly after midnight and beginning to drowse, when I beard one operator two or three stations away calling up another in another direction some stations away. I listened and received the information that a train of care had broken loose at the top of a steep incline and was going down toward the operator to whom the message was being sent. I realized the situation immediately. I broke in ou the operator and found out from the sender of the message when the care had broken loose. I could calculate then just about where the cars were. I knew that the fast express was dne at the foot of the incline in a few minutes, and I knew that the flying cars would reach there in a few minutes, too. I telegraphed to have the express flagged, and then sat down to wait news. Pretty soon I was called up in a jerky, nervous way by the operator at the foot of the Incline: •Runaway stopped,’ he said, ‘eighty yards from tbe station. Express is waiting.’ When I went home that morning I felt pretty proud—for a train dispatcher."— Boston E&mld,

CUBAN RECIPROCITY.

A Treaty Successfully Negotiated with Spain. The Doors of Another Country Opened to American Productions. A cablegram from Madrid on the 17t announces the completion of a treaty with Spain, which will result in opening the Cuban markets to American wheat, com and meat products. It is understood that Mr. Foster was intructed to insist upon, a reduction of at least 60 per cent, in the tariff upon flour, ana as this is somewhere in the neighborhood of $8 a barrel at the present time his success in this particular will certainly result in affording an enormous additional market for American cereals. The fact that Mr. Foster has succeeded in negotiating any sort of a treaty is sufficient evidence that he has been successfuMa this very important particular. The last treaty with Spain was negotiated by Mr. Foster, then the American minister at Madrid. It was defeated for ratification. As Cuba is one of the countries which come within the scope of the reciprocity clause of the tariff law, it will not now be necessary to ask the Senate to ratify the new treaty, but so soon as it shall have received the approval of the President and Mr. Blaine it can be promulgated and its provisions will become law from the date agreed upon between the two countries. A correspondent of the London Times at Madrid says that grave anxiety is felt there over tho state of affairs in Portugal. Ho expressed fears that a revolution is about to break out, in which event, he says, the lives of foreign subjects will be endangered.

Augusta’s Beautiful Shoulders.

The Empress Augusta was famous in her younger days for her personal beauty and especially for her magnificent shoulders. In the later years of her life her beauty of feature had quite disappeared, but to the day of her death the wonderful shoulders remained the same. And court gossip tells the following story about it: The Empress has always been excessively proud of her beauty, and so, when the unkind years began to leave their trace upon her, she devised the most skillful aids from art. For her neck and shoulders—lndeed, for the entire upper body—she had a waxen covering made which perfectly simulated nature in coloring, texture and outline. This armor once assumed, she was never known to remoyo it, and indeed for many years the fact of its being the product of art was a matter of suspicion rather than actual knowledge. Ccr, tainty came about in this way. One pf the young woftien of the court of an experimental turn of mind slipped slyly up behind the august presence one day and gave just tho tiniest touch of a needle on the smooth white shoulders. The Empress did not stir. She pushed a little harder, still tho Empress did not wince, and court speculation was silenced forever.— N. Y. Sun.

HARRISON’S OUTING.

Magnificent "Welcome by the People of the South*The President's Speeches Received With’ Great Favor—Large Crowds Gather to Greet Him. 53 _ -I - JThe President’s voyage 1 ed to Memphis and Little Rock. On the 17th at Memphis [he said: • . • ■■■ T" My Fellow Citizens. The name of the city of Memphis was familiar to me in my early boyhood. Bom and reared upon one of the tributaries of the great river upon [which your city is located, these river] marts of commerce were the familiar trading posts of the farmers of the Ohio valley. [I well remember when on the shores of jmy father's farm the old Broadhorn was [loaded from the hay press and the com icrlb to market with the plantations along the lower Mississippi." I remember to have heard from him and the neighbors iwho constituted the crew of those pioneer 'crafts of river navigation, of the perils of great waters, of the snags and soyers iand caving banks of the lowe.r Mississippi. In those times these states were largely, [supplied with grain and forage from the northwestern states. Here you were giving.your attention to one or two great staple products for, which you found a large foreign market. I congratulate you thai the progress of events haa made you not! less agricultural, but has diversified your agriculture so that you are not now wholly] dependent upon those great staples for the income of your farm. It is a great thing hat you are now raising more wheat, more com, more hogs and cattle; that you ara now raising potatoes and watermelons anq cabbage. [Cheers.] The benefits of this diversification are very great and the change symbolizes more than we at first realize. This change means that we are now coming to understand that meannesi pannotbe predicated of any honest industry. I rejoice that you are adding to diversified agriculture, diversified manufac*' turing pursuits; that you are turning your thought to compressing and spin-! ning cotton as well as raising it. I know, ho reason why these cotton states that produce 75 per cent of the cotton of the world should not spin the greater portion, of it.- I know no reason why- they should not export it as raw material, rather than! (is a manufactured product, holding in their midst the profits of this transforma-l tion of the raw material to the finished! product. [Applause.l , I hope it may be so. I see evidences that the people are turning their attention to lew industries and are bringing into the nidst of these farming comm unities a large lopulation of artisans and laborers to consume at your own doors the product of rour farms. lam glad that a liberal government is making this great waterway to the sea safe and capable of an uninterrupted use. lam glad that it is here making the shores of your own city convenient and safe, and that it is opening north and south an uninterrupted and cheap transportation for the products of all these lands that lie along this great system of rivers. lam glad that it is bringing you In contact with ports of the gulf that look out with near and inviting aspect toward s great trade in South America that we shall soon possess. I am glad to believe that these great river towns will speedily exchange their burdens with American thlps at the mouth of the Mississippi to be transported to foreign ports under the flag of our country. _— This government of ours is a compact of the people to be governed by a majority. Expressing itself by lawful methods. fCneers[. Everything in this country is to be brought to the measure of the law. 1 propose no other rule either as an individual or a public officer. I can not in any degree let down this rule [Cries of “Nb, bo T ’ and cheers,] without violating my official duty. There must be no other supremacy than that of lawful majorities. Therefore, I think, while I realize and Sympathize with your difficulties, we must all come at last to this conclusion, that that the supremacy of the law is the one supremacy in thi9 country of ours. [Cheers.] Now. my fellow citizens, I thank you for this warm and magnificent demonstration of your respect, accepting cordially the expression of the chief of your city government that you are a sincere, earnest, patriotic, devo-' ted people. I beg to leave with each of you the suggestion that, each in his place, Shall do what he can to maintain social order and public peace; that the lines here and everywhere shall be between the welldisposed and the ill-disposed. At Little Rock the President spoke as follows: Governor Eagle and Fellow Citizens.— No voice is large enough to compass this immense throng, but my heart is large/ enough to receive all the gladnessjand loy of your great welcome here to-day. [Applause.] I thank you one and all for your presence, for tho kind words of greeting S'hich have been spoken by your governor. nd for these kind faces that are turned to me. in all this I see a great fraternity, in all this I feel new impulses to a better (discharge of every public and every pri«, vato duty. I can not but feel that in jthis brief contact with you to-day shall carry away a better knowledge of your state, its resources, its capabilities ana of the generous warm-heartedness of its We have a country whoso greatness this meeting evidences, for there are here assembled masses of independent men. The commonwealth rests ■upon the free suffrage of its citizens, and their devotion to tho constitution and tbe flag is the bulwark of its life. [Cheers, I We have agreed, I am sure, that we will do no more fighting among ourselves. [Cries oi “good, good, ’ and cheers.] I may say to you confidentially that Senator Jones and I agreed several years ago, after (Observing together the rifleopractice at Ft. (Snclling, that shooting had been reduced to such accuracy that war was too dangerous for either of us to engage in. [Laughter and cheers.] But, my friends, I cannot prolong this talk. Once already to-day in the dampness of this atmosphere I have attempted to speak, and therefore you will allow me to concludo by wishing for your State, for its Governor and all its public officers, for all its citizens without exception, high or humble, the blessings of social order, peace and prosperity, the frnit* of intelligence and piety, [Great cheering.] The President rested at Galveston Sunday. His welcome there Saturday was the warmest yet given him. Tho whole state of Texas semed desirous of doing him honor. His speech at Galveston was on the subject of subsidies as relating to out increased trade with other countries. President Hairiron and party reached California on the 2?d. They were met the State line by a delegation of distingi nished citizens, and Mn “*ip to Los Ang«i les was a continuous jvation. The part] was almos’ smotheied in flowers and fruit by the large crowds gathered at every sta tion. The demonstration at Los Angela was the largest and most enthusiastic ye gjvon.

Collecting Debts In Montreal.
