Alter re maining under the. water for some considr erable time Mr. Divine was seen to rise under tbe shadow of the end of one of the fiats, when he.

floundered about for some momenta and then suddenly disappeared from view: He was an excellent swimmer, and it was at first thought that he had gone under the and. risen the outer side of the but upon examination no trace of his whereabouts could be discovered, and finally the was forced npdn the minds of bis companions that the unfortunate man had been drowned. The search 'for him was. continued, however, until the last hope had" been necessarily relinquished, when his friends sadly gave. up the, quesLo JFbe curren was setting up the-river pretty strongly at the time, and tbe general supposition is that" upon rising and turning over upon his back, as he did, he had been drawn under the flat by the force of tbe suction caused by the strong current before he had realized the danger to which he was exposed.

He prided himself upon bis capacity as a swimmer and had been known to perform some very dangerous feats in the After all hope of his safety, had been abandoned, a policeman took charge of the clothing of deceased and carried them to the Station house, when an inventory -was taken of the articles in his pockets, which consisted of a watch and chain, a book, pocket knife, plug of tobacco, I Mr. Divine was.

Cardinal Pecci was a tall, eteot, well-knit figure, his presence was imposing, his gestures commanding, his voice sonorous and vibrating. Leo XIII. is a bent old man, his hand shakes as with palsy, his voice is hoarse, and the glance of his eye uncertain and suspicious." This statement tallies with that of the Pope's fnends and partisans, who are sincerely anxious about his health. He appears to be in a state of extreme despondency; all his projects for reform are frustrated, all his hopes of reconciliation with civil powers abandoned. He finds himself watched at every step.

Merely to admit Padre Curci to his presence he was -obliged to resort to stratagem, and. lodge him in his own brother's apartment. What the Ultramontane party, require of him is that he should follow exactly in. the steps of his predecessor, choose to be a victim and a 1 prisoner, and work arduously in favor of the restoration of the temporal power. This programme is opposed to his view of the interests of the church.

Now the anathemas and ex-communications against the "violated rights of the church" are to be renewed, as of. old, on St. Peter's day; and the 1 Pope, whose health has suffered severely from confinement, worry and that sense of a "divided duty" which to consciences is a torture, has at length come to the point of "manifesting his intention" of renouncing tbe dignity and responsibility of the tiara. What Leo XHI. most fears is being the cause: of a schism.

The youths were students at Professor Johnson's Academy, Turkey Cave, and were rivals in love. The Kentucky boy made the best progress in his suit, and hence the row. The two young men met alone in the grove, both armed with pistols. They fired five shots. Combs fell mortally wounded by a shot; in the abdomen, and died in a few moments.
