Count Von Elenberg spoke against one of these amendments, but was unable to de- feat it. Praavst, Sept. 25.

The journals announce that 800 Turkish troops attacked a body of insurgents at As- pidia, Thessaly, and were repulsed with a loss of 40.

Rome, Sept. 25.

The Pope, to-day, in receiving a number of Piedmontese pilgrims, expressed pleasure that the season for pilgrimages has returned, and that the first to arrive were citizens of italy, a country destined to preserve within its bosom the See of the Vicar of Christ. He said that efforts were making to root out the faith, but the people of Italy would not allow it to be taken froin them. He was confident that the Catholics of Italy would continue their allegiance to the

church, because the difficulties of the Pontiff’s position are becoming more serious. Devoted sons of the church

ought to devise some just and legitimate means for ameliorating this. Lonpvon, Sept. 26. A despatch from St. Petersburg to the Daily’ News says that Russia will probably not interfere in a war between the Ameer of Cabul and England.

The Oldest Man in the World.

At last the oldest inhabitant has turned up. There is no doubt about the fairness ot his claim:to this title, and no chance that a rival will soon appear, for this person’s age exceeds by half a century even that of old Parr, who is perfectly known to have beaten every other patriarch since the ante- diluvian days. He resides in the Republic of Columbia—a state whose chief products seem to be tobacco, straw hats, monks, vol- canoes, and earthquakes—chiefly the last-— and he is a half-caste, Miguel Solis by name. At a recent conference of physicians of Bogota, Dr. Louis Hernandes told how he had interviewed the patriarch. Solis, it ap- pears, is modest enough to claim an age of no more than 180 years, but his neighbors, all of whom, of course, have known him from his infancy, repudiate the notion that he is such a youngster, and loudly assert that he has overpassed his second century. The oldest inhabitants told Dr. Hernandes that when they were boys Solis had the reputation of being more than a century old, and confirmation of this is said to be afforded by the fact that a signature which Solis recognizes a; his own appears among the list of contributors to the cost of erecting the Corivent of San Sebas- tian in 1712, when he was a sprightly infant of 50 or thereabouts. But, unfor- tunately, as no witness of this interesting signature can be found in the natural course of things, the attestation turns upon old Solis’ good faith or his memory, and, without being uncharitable, we may fear that one or the other may be defective.

| For the rest, the aged curiosity is interest-

‘Ing enough. Dr. Hernandes found him in 'good health and at work in his garden.

- | *‘ His skin resembled parchment, and his

|long snow-white hair was wound about his i head in turban fashion. His eyes gleamed so fixedly as to make his visitor feel uncom- ifortable when looked at.” He attributed ithe length of his life to regular and moder- ate diet. He eats only one meal a day, but that consists of ‘‘strong and hearty food,” to which he devotes himself assiduously for more than half an hour at a stretch, having discovered that no man can eat more in half an hour than he can digest in twenty- four hours. But this is not all, for he fasts two whole days every month, and then re- freshes himself by copious draughts of cold water, which is probably more stimulating diet in those regions than it is in Europe. Finally, he always lets his food get coid be- fore partaking of it, and he considers that this precaution has had a great deal to do with the prolongation of his life. —London Teleqraph. niche A Biatant Talker.

Now and then one has seen a finent and blatant talker, who could not think at any time what could be called thonght, but who was able to produce such material as he could produce at all at the rate of rapid speaking trying to inveigle this foolish wise m:n to enter with him into the lists of dis- cussion. He did (so to speak) seek to per- suade the swan to leave the water where every movement was graceful,and try awalk- ing watch on shore, where the swan could but waddle most abominably. I have be- held the swan abandon its proper element,

and I have grieved. It is much to be regretted that what George Ste- phenson (and many other men) called ** the gift ~ of the gab”

has so powerful and immediate effect upon the less discerning multitude. I have known a human being who was in- tellectually, morally, and spiritually far beneath contempt, a mere insolent and brutal vulgarian, command the atten- tion of a large meeting by a speech which, when it came to be printed, the stupidest person in that assemblage could hardly fail to see was the most despic- able rubbish. I am far from clear that Parliaments and all like bodies are nota mistake. If such bodies are suffered to meet at all, they ought to be constrained to sit for six continnous.months, and then the

vulgar, and probably dirty, with nothin to commend him but his brazen foreh and his flow of ungrammatical speech,might possibly find his level. A thoughtful man here and there might in these months get over his nervous shyness,and gain the influ- ence due to him; though a soul of fine tex- ture might decline toenter into conflict with the coarse-grained costermonger of debate. Specially, in matters theological and ec- clesiastical, it is hard to picture the thought- ful and refined scholar whose writings forth the thinking of his generation, as entering into a vulgar brawl with a blustering bully in a horribly unwholesome atmesphere at 2 o'clock in the morning. The scholar would loathe and despise himself for having stooped to that ineffable degradation. The bully would be proud to have even been kicked by the higher. type of man.— Fraser's Magazine.

Revolutions in San Domingo are of such frequent occurence that one more or less does not seem to make any difference. It is only a few months ago that Gonzales by a suecessfal revolution succeeded in ousting Baez, who was elected in Dec., 1876, for a Presidential term of four years. Now Gonzales has, after a very short term of office, been forced to give way to De Castro, who is proclaimed President. San Domingo has become by these repeated revolution a perfect burlesque oa th; name of a Republic; and its Presidency a prize for the Chief who can command the support of the most soldiers,
