London, Jan. 15. If Mr. Brights Blrmlntr. hain speoches failed to satisfy those who were foolish enough to Relieve that the Invariably t obering effects of olllce would fail to make the Manchester reformer reticent and cautious, aud who anticipated from him a blunt expose of many important Cabinet secrets, they have yet Afforded ample ammunition both for his friends and enemies, and the daily papers are still com menting upon them according to their several proclivities. The conservative organs would of courso have found occasion to assail the objectionable min ister, no matter what he had said. If he should have told his constituents that the Cabinet had been seriously divided on the details of the Irish Land bill and the mode of dealing with the present lawlessness in that troubled country, when they met in council last month, and should have then gone on to state the points on whieh he insisted in the great measure of the next session, the whole Tory pack would have opened cry upon him, and denounced him as unfit for oirtce. Jlad he refrained from men tioning Ireland at all, or simply alluded to Irish affairs as a subject occupying the serious atten tion of the Government, and hence not a de sirable theme for discuseionat this time, he would have been assailed from the same quarter as a coward and a traitor to his life-long convictions. Had he said any more or any less than ho did say, his condemnation would have been as cer tain and as severe as it now is. It is not sur prising, therefore, that Tory objection should be taken to Mr. Bright's observation, that the pre sent Government "had given to the Irish a free church and free schools," and would soon, he hoped, give them "a free vote and free land." To be sure he took the precaution to avow that he was an enemy to confiscation, and that the evil of a handful of landowners and a nation of starving dependants was one that could only be removed by time and by careful legislation; tut this goes for nothing in the eyes of tho con servative organs, and on the strength of the promise of "free land" Mr. Bright is denounced as a red republican and a socialist. So in his interview with an amnesty deputa tion, although he told his visitors that the stories of the sufferings of the Fenian prisoners were mischievous fabrications, circulated for the pur pose Of stirring tip sedition, and declared that no government would be justified in setting loose convicted rebels who avowed their deter mination to repeat the offense for which they were Imprisoned as soon as liberated, ho Is as nailed as a Fenian sympathizer, because ho drew a distinction between rebellion against a free government and rebellion against a tyranny, and because he expressed the hope that the time would arrive when the cells of all political pris oners could be opened. The friends of Mr. Bright, on the other hand, although some of the most exacting among them would have preferred to have listened to such speeches as he was accustomed to deliver when he was a tribune of the people and not a respon sible member of her Majesty's Government, are in the main well pleased with his utterances, and accept them as a gratifying assurance that there is a healthy spirit of progress in the Cabinet which cannot fail to bring forth good fruits in due season. THE IMPERIAL JIUIiDER. . A Death P ketch of Victor Nolr. The Paris Figaro tbuB sketches the death fa amber of Victor Noir: The mortuary chamber has an extremely filain appearance. An iron bedstead, and uoth ng more. The body is extended on the bed. The feet are uncovered, and the right hand re mains gloved. The blood-stained shirt is open, and shows the breaRt. Uu the left side of the breast is a email hole about the size of a centime. The heart is there; it is there the ball pierced, and death followed. The face still bears a defi ant look. The dilated nostrils and half opened mouth give the pale - features a strange aspect. Victor Noir was brave. Jtiis look shows it. A slight moustache shudows his upper lip. Some words of venge ance are heard. A voice says, "Silence la the presence of the dead." At the side of the bed is a double ladder, on which a candle is burning. This single light gives a dramatic effect to the sketch which Gill was making as we entered. Gill is one of those whom Victor loved. Being f a frank and upright nature, he loved tho slu ere. . A child is brought in. It is about five years at most. This is Ernest, the nephew of Victor Noir, whom he adored. "You see your uncle is asloep," says some one. "Ah 1" says the child with a curious stare, "for how long?" "Forever!" "Oh! see, sir, how he has bled; someone has hurt htm." "Kiss him." "How pale he is ! I wish to shake hands with him, like this morning." We look on in Hence. This unconscious grief of tho child, this singular phrase, "some one has hurt him," touches us more perhaps than the tears of his Intended wife, his sister-in-law, father, mother, ana orotner. Prince Bonaparte's Italian Exploit. The Reform says of Prince Bonaparte that, while rending at Canino, his huntsman was about to be married to a young girl. The Prince was paying attentions to her, which the hunts ion resented, and told him be would not sane lion their continuance. Borne days after he was hot in the head, while iu the middle of the woods, by Pierre Bonaparte himself. Public rumor soon made known the perpetrator to ths police, and a captain of the mounted force was charged with his arrcBt. Pierre Bonaparte had a eertulu reputation for sourage, and also was known to carry arms. Tho officer arranged to arrest him at the cafe which he usually visited, and to have two men ready to seize him on receiving a signal. The captain went te the cafe, scaled himself neor Pierre Bona parte, and engaged in conversation with him. While speaking he remarked the butt-ends of two pistols, spoke of their fine carving, and having got them into his hand, he believed it a favorable moment to give the signal. But the assassin was otherwise armed, and during the tight he found a chunco to stab the captain with a stiletto. The Pope had him tried for this double luurdsr, when he was sentenced to death, but was pardoned by the Pope.' LOVE'S OLD DREAM. The llarrlsen.Freelsnd Ureses of Prunhe Case Aain A Mow Trlul Caiuiuouced. The case of Mary Harrison vs. George Vrce land, which attracted so much attention last year, is again before tho public. It will be re membered that Mrs. Harrison, who is a widow oeyond the meridian of exlsteuce, brought a suit against the old man of eighty-two for a breach of promise of marriage, and as he was very wealthy, she claimed heavy damages for her blighted affections. The spicy developments of that remarkable trial are not yet forgotten. The jury rendered a verdict tor the plaintiff with greatly reduced dauuigos. I)h JiudiiL't appealed to tUe CVui'l vl' AI i; Yrdiet was set asldo on the ground of exeesslve damages, and a new trial was ordered. Th-) Court of Errors took the ground that it was absurd to suppose that a woman of her years could suffer such damage in the disappoint ment, especially as tho defendant was a rich man and so old as to render the supposition of an tamest, Itona.fUie courtship, with intent to marry, highly improbable. The new trial commenced yesterday in the Hudiou County Court, before Judge Bcdle. Mr. Dixon, on behalf of the plaintiff, opened tho case, stating in substance that the plaintiff is a widow, who is engaged partly as teacher and partly as forewoman In a factory in New York city; that she resides in Greenville, where de fendant alBo lives; that some years ago an inti macy sprung up between plaintiff and defendant which resulted in a promise of marriage; that the engagement was postponed at tho Instance of defendant; that new engagements were con tracted and again postponed, till at last plaintiff became convinced that defendant would not f ultll his solemn promises to her, and she accordingly brought the suit. The gay Lothario was In court,' an attentive listener, but apparently quite at case as to the result. The judgment of the Court of Krrors makes it certain that tho jury will not again venture on tue award or heavy uamages. FROM DEATH TO LIFE. Wonderful Kurapo from the Drain Pcunliy A lllnnstrd Murderer Ualvanlxed and He. a nrltalrd. The LouiBvllle Commercial of Wednesday has this startling narrative: We purpoHO laying before our readers tho moBt startling event that has transpired for many years in our mdist. It is so well authenti cated, and yet so incredible, so terrible, with such an air of truth surrounding it, that wo cannot refrain from giving to the pnbllc what has been rumored vaguely for some days iu tortious of our city. It is well known that the unfortunate Kriel, who suffered death or was supposed to have done so last Friday, went to his doom grim, implacable, and unnaturally firm. It was well known that his desire to live was paramount to every other earthly desire. His bearing on the scaftold was so unnaturally calm that those who stood near him thought the man did not realize that death was so near, but still clung to life with a terrible tenacity. When tho rope that held the trap was severed, and tbe body fell, it was a subject of remark that the closed hands and position of the legs and feet remained entirely unchanged, showing a tremendous exercise of will and control of nerve. The neck was not broken, neither was the rope drawn so closely about the man's neck that its mark could be distinguished, nor was the skin chafed a particle. General Whittoker, who was present at tbe execution by the request of the prisoner, and who examined the body as it hung, declared in the hearing of those in the vicinity of the scaffold that pulsation in the carotid arteries of the neck was discernable after the jail surgeon and his assistants had declared life extinct ! After hanging some minutes, Kriel's body was placed in the coffin. Tho limbs remained flexi ble, the hands opened with the least persuasion and were crossed on his bosom. Tho eyes that stared half-open when the black cap was with drawn, remained closed after the slight touch upon them, and the face assumod an appearance of mobility and rest. The red flushing in the checks camo back, to a certain extent, and the dark coloring on the neck, under the knotted rope, partially disap peared. The short time that elapsed between his being placed in the colli n and being driven away was also a subject of remark. No one seemed to have any charge of the body, and it was driven away iu a lonely hearse to the vault at the cemetery. Now comes the closing scenes In this strange story. Near midnight a light wagon was driven rapidly out. Walnut street, in which were seated three mufllcd, silent figures, one of them a sur geon of great experimental knowledge, a firm believer in the theory of resuscitation of animal life through the galvanic process. In the wagon was a mattress and several dark blankets. Tho wagon halted near the cemetery fence; aud the horse was held by the driver, and two men went to the vault, carrying between them a large sack well filled. In a short time thev returned bearing with them a motionless figure shrouded in a blanket The figure was placed on the mattress, and in silence the wagon was drived back to the city. The body was con veyed to the surgery of a most skilful and learned surgeon, where some ten or twelve ex cited and expectant students stood anxiously awaiting the arrival. The body was placed in a recumbent position on the table, the clothing loosened, the chest extended, and an incision made In one of the veins of the arm. At first but a small drop of dark-colored blood came forth, but repeated incisions and manipulations of the body caused it at last to trickle forth more freely. . The galvanic battery was applied, and, hor rible and woudcrful to relate, in less than fifteen minutes the warm blood began to course through tbe chilled body, and at last the eyes were opened. The students stood appalled and could hardly realize the extent of the demonstration before them. One of them spoke to Kriel, asking him, "Are you sensible?" The eyes an swered expressively, and his lips opened ineffec tually, for no speech came forth. Stimulants were poured down the throat of the revived criminal, and in less than one hour after he had been pluccd iu tbe surgery Kriel sat up and asked them, "What have you done? Am I alive?" Tbe consternation, and yet the professional delight of the spectators were loudly expressed. The experiment of a reckless class of students and an able experimentalist had resulted in tho resuscitation of a man who had been bung u short time previous. Steps were imme diately taken to save the life of the wretched man. Justice bad been satisfied by the public execution, though life returned. Why should they deliver up what had so providentially and wonderfully been restored? None of Kriel's personal friends were notified. Strangers dis guised him, furnished him with means, and by daylight a man weak and tottering, but firm and immovable in his demeanor, crossed the river, and was last seen by a watchful, eileut friend, who kept near him on the train leaving Sey mour, Indiana, on bis way to an unknown, but, it is to be hoped, better future. DISASTER. Fatal I-andnilde la Otavalo-Hevoral Uvea Lout. On tbe nights of the 17th and 18th of Novem ber last there occurred a lamentable accident in the canton of OUivulo, province of Imbabura, In the State of Ecuador. In that point of the Kscalera called Taurichupa, a territory belong ing to the estate of Pesavo, there was an esta blishment situated at the base of a declivity covered with wood, under the management of a Colombian namod Darius Vasquez, for tho ex traction of quiuia. The work was progressing very briskly, and nearly 400 arrobas of bark had been collected without anything worthy of notice having occurred to disturb tbe labor, except Borne thunder and heavy rains, common at the season. Considering this, and fearing that the earthquakes, which bad not altogether ceased since the recent great catas trophe, might detach ths overhanging declivity, sleeping huts were constructed in the plaza a short distance off. Dr. Carlos Cevanos Auz, ths owner of the establishment. and to whom we are indebted for the account of What happened, alwavs sloDt in a hat himself. and persuaded all the others employed in ths works to do the same. Notwithstanding all these precautions on the fatal night above-mentioned, all the people bod united in the tamlm. at the ! foot Ql UiC i'r;:;'j:c, iiut- iXi lUs ii -,va to rain heavily and continued so from 8 o'elo:k at nlpht until 1 P. M. next day. The great quan tity ot water utaorbed uy the declivity under mined its foundation, the whole superincumbent mass became loose, and sliding downward like an avalanche, burled the house and the fifteen Sersoss who were In It. The mas of earth thus isplaced was one hundred and fifty feet high by sixty feet in width, covered on ths surf tee by large trees. It Is supposed that this terrible ca lamity occurred between land 'A o'clock in the morning. No one escaped. All tho dead bodies were extracted except two. Panama utar and Herald. VIQILAXCE COMMITTEE. A Farcical IWeetlns; nt 'hlcaa InrRcctaal J'.llort nt Organization. The Chicago Tribune, of Thursday, has a re port of a mooting called to organize a Vigilance Committee in that city, from which we extract as follows: The growing insecurity of life and property la this city induced a number of citizens to hold a meeting in Parlor No. 1, Trcmont House, last evening, to consider the propriety of Instituting measures to bring criminals to sure aud speedy punishment. - The Chair thought it the duty of every honest man iu Chicago to take part in the meeting. Mr. Crowley was nominated for Secretary. Mr. Crowley proved to be non est. The Chair Announced that tho meeting was not called for fun or to create a laugh. It was no joke. Mr. Cahill was elected, and took his Beat amid applause. The Secretary stated that he would mako a bad Secretary, aud would resign lu favor of Mr. McIIugh. lie requested the Chairman to an nounce his resignation, and he would retire iu good order. (Laughter ) He had not read the call, and did not know anything about it. (Laughter.) Dr. Helium was ready to give his revolver and right hand to protect his wife, his children, him self, and his neighbors. (Applause.) Mr. Rickctts was in San Francisco when they hung and shot scoundrels. That was the best receipt for all ruffians. Let them form ward clubs to bang them, and not let them go to police courts to be bailed out by pickpockets. (Loud applause.) The Choir moved that an Executive Commit tee be appointed. A gentleman with a white vest thought tho Chair had no right to move anything except his chair. (Laughter.) Tbe Chair wished to state that he only sug gested a committee. Mr. Sheridan moved that the meeting adjourn to meet 100 years from date, in Parlor No. 1, Sherman House. The motion was seconded. It was moved to amend by making the place of meeting the top of the Court House. The amendment was accepted. These motions caused some levity in the meet ing, and several persons laughed. Mr. Kicketts moved that the meeting adjourn to meet on Tuesday night at No. 270 Washington street. Mr. Sheridan I understand the gentleman keeps a saloon there. Mr. P ickctts denied that he belonged to the whisky profession. After some further discussion and wrangling, a motion to adjourn for 100 years from date pre vailed, and the meeting fell to pieces. The meeting consisted of some irresponsible and indiscreet gentlemen, but one of them of any known standing or prominence. Publicity is death to a movement of this kind. There were some present for whom nobody could vouch, not even themselves. When a Vigilance Committee is formed in Chicago by responsible men the thieves will not be made aware of the fact by a public meeting. Such a committee is nearer realization than many have any idea of. WOMAN SUFFRAGE. Woman an a Cipher "Christ Game Into the ' World and Died ou the Cross to lUve.YVvuiau the Hal lot." Boston, Jan. 23. The friends of woman suf frage met in couventlon at Horticultural Hall this morning for the purpose of forming a State Association. The Rev. Rowland Connor, of Boston, said the present position of women was a relic of barbarism; disgraceful to the people of the nineteenth century. He was tired of all this verbiage and hypocritical cant about the sphere of women. Women's sphere was any sphere which she could fill well. Men were responsible for many of the weak nesses of women, because they have blocked their pathway with an iron bar. When equality comes, the peculiar vices of both classes, as dis tinguished one with another, will be done away with, and then their emulation will bo iu tbe line of virtues, not of vices. The claim of women to the ballot was only one phase in the question. It had been elevated into an importance which did not properly belong to it. Absolute equality was tbe end to be sought. The Rev. Mr. Jones, of Brighton, said Christ came into the world and died upon the cross to give woman the ballot. Mrs. Abby Kelly Foster made an earnest ap peal for funds. Mrs. A. W. Campbell then made a short ad dress, after which Miss Susan B. Anthony, from among the audience, asked ths privilege of say ing a few words, and the following resolution was offered by her and adopted: "Resolved, That this convention respectfully ask the Forty-first Congress of the United States to submit to tbe Legislatures et the several States a sixteenth, amendment to the Federal Constitution, prohibiting the disfranchisement of any ot our citizens on ac count of sex." A resolution to strike out the word "male" from the laws governing the District of Colum bia was also offered by her and passed. Mrs. M. A. Livermore rejoiced in addressing so largo an audience of women. She thought the spirit of the age was saying to them, "If you push things Massachusetts will surrender." Addresses were delivered by Mrs. Phoebe A. Hannaford, Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, and Mrs. Livermore. The last-named speaker said she based her demand on ths one ground that the ballot was the symbol of equality. She did not think men understood how women. felt. She referred to Vermont, where, next May, the questios of female suffrage was to be submitted to the people, and it was all the work of the men. It was often said that women did not want the ballot, but when they did they should have it; and yet these same men have carried on a five years' war, investing the negro with the ballot, and never asking him If he wanted it. I WHAT IS IT TO PAY I A Knptnre Between Old Friends Bonner oa Colfax and Bowles. It appears by a recent article in the Springfield Iiejmbiican complimentary, in some respects, to us personally, but objecting to our remarks on Vice-President Colfax that Mr. Colfax is not alone in justifying detestable free-love practices; but that his course is fully endorsed by his inti mate friend and travelling companion, Mr. Samuel Bowles, tbe editor of ths Jicpublioan. We, for our part, never beard anythlntr against Mr. Bowles (except that he is addicted to libel ling people on account of the infirmities of their Earents, and attacking oil who have befriended 1m), until Mr. Colfax came out, some time ago, and gave him a certificate of character pub lished in the New York Times at if he stood la need of one. We think the purport or substance of it was that Bowles had travelled with him as a companion or equal, or something like that; as if the idea had got abroad that Bowles was a negro or valet. But now, from Mr. Bowies' article, he seems to be a full sympathizer with Mr. Colfax's re cently developed free-love sentiments, and that Bowles was a respectable free-lovcr. In fact, before Richardson died, he himself stated, under the solemnity of an oath: "I had a conversation with Mr Bowles at Hartford aboot the 1st of April last, and another at Hprtngflald a few days later, touching my relations with Mrs. McFarland." Let Mr. Bowles take this matter home to him self. When he was arrested and dragged off to Eldrldge Street Jail, in this city, a few months ago, great sympathy was manifested toward him because he was violently torn away in the night from his wife, who was then staying with him at one of our hotels: yet, according to his own philosophy, it would be all right for some younger man, and .physically stronger and handsomer than Mr. Bowles, to intrigue and get his wife away from him, and divorce her, and marrv her, aud do all that Richardson did. P. 8. Mr. Bowles' meaning in his editorial articles is sometimes not atparcnt,but his mean ness always is. JV. 1'. Leaner. ; ADMIRAL TORTER'S RATI. How the Cool Contractors Fix Thin to Halt Themselves Mow Honest Officer are Pun ished for their tUono to Protect tho Uovera aienl. Among the illustrious citizens of Washington, where large fortuues are said to be made la the briefest time through influence at court, are Messrs. Brown & Co., contractors, who snpply the Navy Department with coal. They are not unknown to fame, especi ally among naval officers, who have occasion to inspect and accept or condemn coul at the various navy yards of the Uulted States. They have extensive contracts with the Government, and supply a vast amouut of coal, which is liberally paid for by Uncle 8am. It is under stood that they have peculiar influence in come occult manner at the Navy Department, and that their wishes are little less than law with the officials with whom they come in contact. Recently a vcrv curious incident occurred at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, which either goes to prove our statements, or shows that tho most singular coincidences may occur, that are be yond all plausible explanation. Messrs. Browa & Company, of Washington, recently sent to tho Brooklyn Navy Yard two large barges loaded with coal, part of the supply their contract com pels them to furnish. In the usual order of affairs, one of the chief engineers of the yard, .Engineer Dauby, and Lieutenant Commander Wheeler, of the Equipment Bureau, with another officer, were ordered to inspect the coal, and to ascertain whether it was of the quality and kind demanded by the specifications of the contract. The examination was made in the regnlar manner, and tbe coal was found to be almost worthless, at any rate quite unfit for use, and of a worse quality than the Government had paid for. Their report was made condemning the coal, and it was not received or paid for. A day or two afterwards Mr. Brown, the head of the Washington firm of contractors, came to the Navy Yard demanded the names of tho Board of Survey, and finally saw Chief Kngincer Danby. He inquired of the latter whether he had been one of the Board condemning the coal, and re ceived an affirmative response. Then said he, "How long have you been in the Navy Yard?" "Nearly two years," said theofficer. "Well, we will see about that," responded the contractor, in a very significant tone, and then walked off. The Chief Engineer was so much struck with the tono and bearing of the magnate that be told his friends at once that he was not long for the Brooklyn yard; that be was to be ordered away as a punishment for daring to condemn worth less coal, furnished by powerful contractors who have the inside track in the Navy Department. Sure enough his forebodings were fully realized. The contractor returned to Washington that night, aud on tbe following day telegraphic or ders were received by Chief Engineer Danby to proceed without loss of time to New Orleans, to assume certain duties there. Ho was not allowed time enough to turn over his stores, for which he was personally responsible, and to obtain receipts from bis successor, if one bad been appointed. Lieutenant-Commander Wheeler was detached two days later, and ordered to join tbe store ship Guard, which 'already had it complement of officers to go on the agreeable Darleu expedi tion. Thus it was that the coal contractor in Wash ington revenged himself on officers who did their duty. in protecting the Government from imposition; and in this manner was it that the Navy , Department rewarded their efforts to serve the country instead of a pet contractor. Is it to be wondered at that the expenditures of the Navy Department are increasing? If. Y. Sun. ; $20,000 DAMAGES. " ' . A TJeavy Verdict Against tho Illinois Central Kallroad Uompaay. In the ease of Ezekiel B. Phillips against the Illinois Central Railroad Company, tried on Thursday in Chicago, the jury returned a ver dict for the plaintiff, aud assessed his damages at 520,000. Tbe suit was brought to recover for personal injuries sustained by the plaintiff by the explo sion of the boiler of a locomotive owned by the defendant, in December, 18tf7. The injuries were claimed to be of a very serious nature, and to have resulted in a partial paralysis of plain tiff's body. The case was tried about two years ago, when a verdict was returned for $7000, but subse quently reversed by the Supreme Court. In giving the case to the jury, the Court instructed it for the plaintiff, among other things, as fol lows: "If the plaintiff, at the time of the accident, was passing along the platform in the depot for the purpose of purchasing a ticket and taking a train, and the boiler of a locouiotlvs which was standing on the track exploded, in consequence either of the insufficiency of tbe boiler, attribu table to the negligence of defendant, showing a lack on its part of that degree of caution and diligence which prudent men would use is their own affairs, then they should find for the plain tiff. If the explosion can be satisfactorily ex plained, from Uie evidence, on the ground of carelessness, or want of proper thickness of the boiler, or imperfection therein, resulting from age or other cause, which with reasonable dili gence could have been guarded against, and if no other cause of tbe explosion is shown, upon which it could be explained, then they should find for tbe plaintiff." Tbe Court also instructed the jury at follows: "If the jury believe from tbe evidence that, within a reasonable time before the explosion of the boiler in question, the defendant made a careful and thorough examination of the engine and boiler, by skilful and qualified mechanics in that branch of business, and that the same was then in sound and good condition, and so con tinued up to tbe time of the explosion, so far as could be discovered; that there was at the time of the explosion a proper quantity of water in tbe boiler, and ouly an ordinary amount of steam, and that said engine was under the man agement of a careful aud skilful engineer, and that the explosion wat from causes which could not have been ascertained by any known and recognized means, then the Injury, if any, to the plaintiff, must be borne by him, as one of that class ot Injuries for which tho law allows no redress, and the jury rhould find for the defendant." At a former trial of the cause this last Instruc tion was refused by the court, and upon its re jection the Supreme Court reversed tbe judg ment and ordered a second trial of the cause. Even St. Johns, N. B., reported on the 21st lnt that there was no snow, and tho weather ttllk.liliU t-pijllJJ. SECOND EDITION LATEST B7 TSLQCrRArXX.

Admiral Fortrr toco on a Fancy Crnlae. .Vjycial Denpattih to The Uvtning TcU-jraph. Waniunoton, Jan. 29 It is rumored that Vice-Admlral Porter intends to order himself on a fancy cruise to the Mediterranean and all the points in Europe worth visiting next summer. He is now buBlly engaged in arranging the list of vessels and in selecting the officers who are to accompany him, and also in devising a new uniform for the occasion that will surpass in gorgeousness anything ever seen on the persons of United States naval officers. Porter has a great fancy for "bright work," and the changes he proposes to make in the decorations will send joy to the hearts of tailors and gold-lace manu facturers. Some change or other is made in the naval uniform about every six months, and offi cers with small salaries do not look at the matter in exactly the same light as the Navy Depart ment people and the tradesmen whoso pockets are benefited thereby.

Washington, Jan. 29 Tho Committee of Wave and Means, in fixing the tariff on foreign books at 25 cents per pound, aim to protect the publishers of light literature. It is believed that such books will be virtually excluded by the tariff as agreed on iu committee. Prospects of the Tariff Bill. The tariff bill will certainly be reported on Monday, but tho committee do not anticipate favorable action by tho Houso, and the impres sion here is the tariff will remain as at present. The Internal Revenue bill Is not to be taken up in committee until the discussion on the Tariff bill is concluded in the House. j FROM EUROPE. The Infallibility of the Pope. By th Frtineo-A merican Cable. Rome, Jan. 29. Some important news has transpired in reference to the business before the Oecumenical Council. A schedule commu nicated to the Council proposes that the Council shall declare that tho Pope, by virtue of his office as tho elected of the Church, Is the absolute head of an infallible Church. Infallible as chief priest and potentate, superior to and in dependent of all ecclesiastical councils. The schedule confirms the divine right of all princes and recognizes that their royalty comes by tho grace of God. The theory of universal suffrage as a political dogma is reprobated, and the influence of the Church will be opposed to It as in conflict with the true theory of headship of the Church and the Pontifical infallibility. The temporal power ef the Pope as the Prince of.tb.e Roman States, and an independent sovereign, is recognized and defined. No discussion will be allowed upon the report of the commission charged with presenting and remodelling the schedule. The members ot council will merely vote "placet" and "non placet," without debate. This Alornlnar's Quotations. B) th Anglo-American Cable. ' Paris, Jan. 89. The Bourse opened firm; Rentes, 74f.
