THE POPE AND HENRY
VIII'S, DIVORCE.
A writer i n •I rild•3nt p,ublivation
$lritiviees Cardinal Wallets where
he eaye iu his Lenten aertuon :
'"Pope Clement VII. refused to
=1anction the divorce of Henry VIII,
front his lawful wife, Catharine of
Aragon." Thid would be greatly to
the credit of tbePope and his church,
if it were true. Let us see if the
Cardinal cau snake any Heels claim
Consistent with the truth of hietory.
Charles V., Emperor of Germany
and King of Spain, would not allow
Pope Clement to "sanction the
divorce of Henry VIII.," anel hy
doing so nave England to the the
church, for two reasons : Catharine
of Aragon was his aunt, and Henry
VIII., together with N rancis I.,
King of France, were the only
obstacles in the way of his bounders
ambition. Still further, Cardinal
Campeggio c•trrie l into Euglitel
from the Pops the "sanction of the
divorce," se tIi t .it caws it should be-
come a matter of pnrioy to grant it,
he might take advantage of the c.ir-
cumstances.
Another inchleta also shows that
it was not A wove of right that in -
nuanced the Popte. Clement agreed
that if the King should send a
proxy to Roane, submitting his cast]
to the Holy See, a "sensation of the
divorce" should be granted. The
proxy being delayed one day beyond
the time appointed, and it being re.
ported to the Pope anti his cardinals
that a farce laid been acted upon the
stage before the King, in derision of
the Pope and the Holy See, Clement
and itis car line's in inert i tication
and anger eon6rtued the marriage.
Permit me to ad,l,• if you will,
while on this subject, that the home
life, wherever the I..)nian tJathollc
church has un 1isputed p)wor, ie
about ars far from the ideal as, is
imaginable. Umly in ptrt.•i of the
world wh ere the adherents of that
church OH 111 contact with Protest-
antismcome are found what is worthy of
the name ,'home."
JOHN WESLEY IN GEORGIA.
Front Ilarper's TVeekly.
When Wesley was thirty-two be
joined the colony in Georgia, of
which General Oglethorpe was
Governor, his desire to preach to
the Indians being a controlling mo-
tive in the matter. His brother
Charles who had just been ordained,
ent out as secretary to the Gover-
nor. This colony, it will be remem-
bered, was designed to be a home
alike for Englishmen and for Conti•
neutal Protestants who had suffered
persecution. The Church authori••
ties did touch to encourage the
enterprise, and Wesley was sent as
a missionary by thein. It is in
keeping with the poetic readiness of
the 'Wesley family to find that
Samuel Wesley, Jun., published a
poem in furtherance of this venture
of faith and philanthropy. With
the Wesleys went, as special com-
panions, Benjamin Ingham, one of
the Oxford Methodists, and Charles
Delamotte, the son of a Middlesex
magistrate. On February 5, 1736,
the vessel which Sore the Wesleys
Railed into the Savannah Rivar.
John Wesley's mission centred in
Savannah, then a place of 500 in-
habitants. -His preaching at once
made a great impression. For ex.
ample, he "expounded those Scrip-
tures which relate to dress" with
the result that while he remained in
Savannah he saw in the church
"neither gold nor costly apparel."
On the other hand, he roused op-
position by his High Church loc,
trine and practice. Though Wesley
did not have the opportunity he
desired to work amo.lg the Lndians,
he seems to have had hard enough
material to deal with. His chief
trial in Georgia grew out of his ac-
quaintance with Sophia Hopkey,
niece of Mr. Canston, the chief
magistrate of Savannah. The mar-
riage of 'Wesley to this bright and
handsome young woman seemed
Probable
but Wesley took t counRel
of religious friends, and accepted
their advice to "proceed no further
in atlas business." Miss Hopkey
soon became Angageil to another,
and was married four days later.
In 'Wesley's journal it is written,
"On Saturday, Marcie 12, God being
very merciful to me, my friend per-
formed what I could not." A half
century afterward Wesley referred
with much feeling to this painful
experience. Wesley had occasion
to rebuke Ms. Williamson (Miss
Hopkev), and finally he repelled her
from the holy commnnion. Her
uncle, Mr. Canston, took up the
mattee, and the grand jury found
several indictments against Wesley.
The latter repeatedly went to court,
but was given no opportunity to
clear himself from the charges,
which chiefly concerned his eccles-
iastical administration. It woe
decided that he had best return to
England. The malice of his enemies
followed him to the last. Not long
after Wesley's departure from
Georgia, Canston's accounts were
deemed unsatisfactory, and he was
removed from his offices in the colo-
ny. Whitfield, who was in Georgia
later on, bears witness thatat Wesl eY s
mission was by no means a failure,
though he had so much to distract
hiw : "The good Mr. John Wesley
has clone in America is inexpressi-.
ble." The lasting effect of that
hrief ministry in Georgia Is typified
hy tl.e live -oak -tree under whioh
Wesley preached, whioh still stands
near Savannah.
GEN. WOLSLEYS MISSION.
The following is from the Ottawa
correspondent of the Chioagolnter-
Ocean, dated Ottawa March 9, and
will be taken by Canadian readers
for what it is worth:—
Au officer of the British navy,
who was iu the city to -day on busi-
ness, stated to -night to your corres-
pondent that there was more signi-
ficance to be attached to the appro-
aching visit of Lord Wolsely to Can-
ada than was generally believed.
Lord Wolsely,he said,will sail short-
ly for Canada, and will at ouce pro-
ceed to the Pacific coast, where, in
company with Gen. Herbert, he
will inspect the defenses of British
Columbia, and more particularly
the naval yard at Esquimault. Ile
will remain at Victoria uutill the
United States have given their ul-
timatum with regard to the Behring
Sea question. When asked what
he thought of the look out and the
possibility of an early settlement
of the hatters of dispute betweeu
Canada and the United States, he
said : "I would not be surprised
to find Great Britain and the Unit-
ed States at war before the year is
out. The British Government have
been remaining quiet in view of
the possibility of the Liberal party
in Canada getting into power, thro-
ugh whom Lord Salisbury believed
a more satisfactory settlement of
111attera of dispute could have been
reached than through the adminis-
tration of Sir John Macdonald,
whose policy hag been more in the
direction of intensifying hostilities
than effecting a reconciliation."
In conclusion he said, that the act-
ivity about the British dock yards
is o
clearly showed that England was
preparing to be ready for any emer-
gency. "Just mark my words," ho
added. ':If Groat Britain and the
United States do not measure swords
before the year closes they will come
so near it that only the greatest
amount of strategy will avert it."
SHOULD BE LOOSENED.
A cough should be loosened at once
and all irritatiou allayed. To do this
nothing excels Ilagyard's Pectoral Bal-
sam. Obstinate coughs yield at one to
its expectorant, soothing and healing
properties, which loosen phlegm and
allays irritation.
THE lIEHRING SEA
DISPUTE.
W. L. Crounsn. In Harper's Weekly.
For seventy years the seal fisher-
ies of Behring Sea have been the
subject of interuational contention
and of endless diplomatic negotiation
The earliest dispute followed close
upon Russia's assertion in 1821 of
extraordinary jurisdiction over the
waters of Bohriug Sea and Pacific
Ocean, and through the pre sent con-
troversy betweu the United States
and Great Britain is of but four
years' standing, the issues involved
in the original episude are in a
broad sense the issues of to -day.
Russia evoked vigorous protests
from tho United States and Great
Britain by the publication of an
edict placing restrictions upon "the
pursuits of commerce, whaling, and
fishing, of Behring Sea and in the
Pacific Ocean beyond a maritime
league from t•hore,the limit fixed by
international law as the extent of the
maritime sovereignty of any power.
At that time the territorial division
of Alaska belonged to Russia, and
the limits of Behring Sea were
marked on all sides by Russian pos-
sessions, including the chain of Ale-
utian Islands on the south. The
United States has drawn an equally
vigorous retnonstrance from Great
Britain by an attempt to maintain,
for the protection of the seal fisher-
ies of Alaska, a maritime jurisdict-
ion in all the waters of the eastern
haBehring
halfSea.
oa
The negotiations now pending be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain have for their object the
determination of the vexed ques-
tion as to the jurisdictional rights
of the United States beyond a
marine league from the shores of
Alaska and the islands adjacent
thereto, and as a collateral issue
the legality of the seizure in
Behring Sea of British vessels dis-
covered by United States revenue
cruisers in act of pelagic sealing
outside the three-mile limit. While
the prospects of an early settlement
of the points in dispute cannot be
said to be encouraging, there is
every indication that all the con-
tentions in the case will ultimately
be set at rest by arbitration. The
diplomatic representatives of both
powers have expressed a willing-
ness to arbitrate their differences,
but have thus far failed to agree
upon an exact definition of the
issues to- be submitted.

•1 hey sat at the dour of the little cottage
together. :111 about them spread the emer-
ald sward of a patch of Ireland.
Oona, with her reit-gold hair, her fair pink
and white faro and her white arms, with
dimples at the elbows, looked very, very
pretty, though her gown was green and not
new and her small feet dressed in clumsy
boob; and roughly knitted stockings.
The grandmother, withered and tnot.hless,
was witch -like enough, in her cap, with its
great ruffles, and her short gown of muslin,
yellow with age, over a short frieze petti-
coat.
Before them the ground ins level for utiles
and miles, dotted with little shootings and
dark bogs.
Two geese waddled in and out of a little
pond not far from the door, and a dog snored
in the shadow of the furze hushes, (h ma Inas

"i want to go to Anierieny and be awning,

"Are you forgettin' Jamesie, darlin' :" ask-
ed the old woman,
"Folg-t Jamesie! It's hint I think of day
nn' night. slapin' or wakui ," sai,l Oona, with
two big tears in her eyes.
"A.u' thin. where is too promise ye Hindu

" Ye promised to bide until he shit for

O'Lynn, yell mind that she stays safe in the

Thim's his words, da lin ; au' I tuk me oath
to him, Bide home till Jamesie conies, lassie;
there's enough for all."
"Jamesie will never come, grannie," said
Oona. "Jamesie is passed out of my life
like the flowers that faded last year. I'll see
no more of him, unless it may be in Hivin.
Some ill has court' to him. It's three years
since he wint away, an' there's no news of
him. He's dead, grannie. IIe's a schollard,
Is Jamesie; an' he'd write once a week, he
said; an'. niver a line—niver wan line! Tho
sea is deep, grannie, an' what is a steerage
passenger to a big company, dead or alive!
He's no mom!"
"I've thought the sante at times," said
grannie; "hut I don't seem to see him dead.
I dream of white candles at the head of
folks that are dead, an' thim lyili' quiet; an'
whin I dramo of him, it's not like that.
There's breath an' life in hint, but be's

"It may he some other woman hes sthnle
his heart away from me. He Haight have
been ashamed to let me know it, after the
oaths he swore to be throne to nap while
there'd be the breath of life in him," said
0011a. "But how an Iver that rnny let, I've

son, grannie; and it's fittin' your daughter's
daughter, that you've mlthered since she was
a babe, should take the place of them that's

And then they both wept ego her, nlnuest
as women weep over the dead; for it was
hard to port. Herd, too, to put away the
hope of Jtunes O'Donnel sending for them 111

live with them at ease.
Alas! it must 114.18 be done, for cold and
hunger, those two wolves who are forever on
the track of the In'ish peasant, had been very
near them of late. tin Oona left the eabin
and crossed the ocean, with no mischance;
and her bright face won her a place, in spite
of her "greenness," and she learned fast, and
soon there was no want of meat or of fire in
the cabin. And Oona did not tell her old
grannie how sore her heart wes. She end
hoped against hope, believing that, after all,
Rhe would find her Jamesie in Amenia, still
true to her, or that at least she would hear
of him. Now she was awe e of the vast 11•• -

She wee fond of wanting, and the hems est
her employer wad not fat from Central Park,
and her steps turned tato its shaded paths
quite naturally.
There were plenty of people there. (Girls
and their lovers In plenty. The thought of
her Jamesie arose within her, and she felt
her throat swell. Oh, where was het If he
were dead, where had he perished, and
how? If he were false, what fair face bad
won him?
"There's Horny a prettier girl, Jamcsie,'r
poor Ouna said to herself, "but none that
loves you so true as me, or ev•ir will."
Tears arose to her eyes; sht turned into a
less frequented path, and wandered on until
she cause to a little rustic summer -house that
stands alone on a projecting rock, not far
from the block -house. Hoping to find herself
alone, she entered, but saw in au instant that
a mall lay there asleep on the bench—a matt
in ragged clothes, with unkempt hair mud a
stubby beard, with soiled linen, and shoes
that were all crushed and trodden aside, with
a face that wore the flush of tntoxieatiou—a
man to ruu from and to fear, from a woman's
point of view. But Oona did not run. She
stood still and clasped her hands together,
and gazed down upon him, for the face was
a face she knew. Changed, degraded as it
was, it was James O'Donnel who lay there;
her Jamesie, whose silver betrothal ring she
wore, the tidiest boy in the parish when he
left old Ireland.
" Oh, Mother of Mercy, what has happened
to bring him to this?' Oona moaned. " Hint
that nivir took a dhrop too much! Oh, why
did I live to see this/ Why?"
She lookeed at him. sick at heart. The
smell of stale liquor lingering about Mtn re-
volted her. But his bead was in an uncom-

Jamesie looked'at her a moment, and broke
down. The tears came dropping through his
fingers
"Not thrue!" he sobbed, "A)ld I've come
to this for naught."
"And I've mourned ye for dead, Jamesie,
and find ye work," sighed Oona.
"How did you conte here?" Jamesie asked,
when he had conquered his emotion.
"I jist walked in unknownst," said Oona.

Americaay ."
"I suppose you hate me now, Oona?" said
Jamesie,
The girl looked steadily and sadly at
him.
"I'm very discoullnted wid S •e" she
said,
"at present. How can I help but be

She reached out her hand for her shawl,
"Did you put that under me durthy head,

"Yis," said Dime. "Yis Jamesie."
"You don't hide oto, Oona," said the man.
"And look ye, my girl, that thought is
enough to make me sthrong again the drink.
I only took it to drown mo sorrows. I hate

"God bless and help ye, Jamesie," sobbed
the girl. "I'll 181 there."
She took a little rosary front her bosom
and handed it to him.
"Let this be for a token betwixt us," she
said.
Then he left her, and site dared not look
after him.
But every night she prayed that Jamesie
might have strength to do as he promised,
and on the twelfth Sunday she stood on the
church stops. She did not see him at first,
but suddenly an arm was thrust through the
crowd, and a rosary was dropped into her
hand, and turning she looked on Jamesie,
the old Jamesie, sober and in his right tnind.
"Never a drop has passed my lips since we
met, Oona," said he, "nor over shall. Are
you discontented with me still. Oona—Int

Bias she was quite content, and he knew
that before elle said it. And in a year from

One afternoon n Ih1 Duke L e Lorenzo Ile
i,Iedici in walking through the garden
came upon young Michael Angelo, who
was busy chiseling his lirst piece of
sculpture, say's .Alexander Black in the
Jan nary St. Nicholas. The Duke saw
in the stone the face of a faun, which
the boy was copying from an antique
mask, but which, with this usual impa-
tience of imitation, he WW1 changing so
as to show the open lips and teeth.
"How is it," said tho duke, draw-
ing closer, "that you have given
your faun a complete set of teeth?
Don't you know that such an old
fellow was sure to have lost sottto of
them?" Micheal Angelo at once SAW the
justice of the eritichku. Artists are not
always ready to receive adverse com-
ment. Michael Angelo !himself was
quick-tempered and hard to move. A
hot word to one of his boy companions
on a certain occasion brought so severe
a blow in the face that all truthful por-
traits of Michael Angelo have since had
to show him with a broken nose. But
the duke's criticism was kindly given,
and was plainly warranted, and the
young sculptor could hardly wait until
the duke walked on before beginning
the correction. 'When the duke saw
the faun's face again be found some of
the teeth gone and the empty sockets
skillfully chiseled out.
Delighted with this evidence of the
lad's willingness to seize and act upon a
suggestion, and expressed anew by his
artistic skill, the duke made inquiries,
learned that :Michael Angelo had borrow-
ed stone and tools on this own account hi
his eagerness to begin sculpture (tae was
at first set at drawing from the statuary),
and ended by sending for the boy's
father. The result of the consultation
was that the duke took Michael Angelo
under his own special patronage and
protection, and was so well pleased after
he had done it that no favor seemed too
great to bestow upon. the energetic young.
artist. Michael Angelo, then only 15,
not only received a key to the Garden of
Sculpture, and an apartment in the
Medici:palace itself, but had a place at
the duke's table. In fact, a real attach-
ment grew up between Michael Angelo
and the duke, who frequently called the
boy to his own rooms, when he would
open a cabinet of gents and intaglios,
seek his young visitor's opinions, and
enter into long and confidential talks.
A Library on Plants.
At Wartheustein, in Germany, there
is perhaps one of the most curiously
original collections of books extant.
This consists of a•botanical collection.
Outwardly, the books present the com-
mon appearance of a block of wood,
and that is the first impression; but a
minute examination reveals the fact
that each is a complete history of the
particular tree which it represents. At
the back of the book the bark has been
removed from a space which allows the,
scientific and the common names of the
tree to be placed as a title. One side is
formed from the split wood of the
tree, showing its grain and natural
fracture; tine other shows the wood when
worked smooth and varnished. Ore end
shows the grain :as left !>y the sate, the
other the liuely-polished wood. On
opening the 1),ok, iI. is found to contain
the fruit, seed, leaves, and other products
of the tree. These are supplemented by
a we., printed description of its habits,
usual location, :anti manner and growth.
In fact. everything which has a bearing
upon that particul:tt' tree secures a place
in this wonderfttl, useful, and valuable
collection. here is a precedent for the
botanical societ les to adopt, and although
doubtless expensive. yet it will certainly
repay in its utility.
