The managers of affairs arenot dieposed 1o be very communicative a8 1o the men ens oed; but, knowing for certain of two late engagements, 2ad thegettlcd rumor that three of the old nine have released, it is casy to see what this “-erack min will be.

Nothing can be learnéd about heplacingof the centrcand right fvlas. There are to fill them, Morgan, Andrus, Liotbert, and ilick. Holbert is a fine catcher, batter, and ran- er. and there are those who eay that Benvett will bave a powerfal rival in Holbert. The Club has Geclded to remove from their present place to finer gronnds on Tenth street, two blocks sonth of Grnaavenue, only seven minutes” walk from the Piunkinton.

Royal Family Affairs— The Young ‘Waleses and Their Aunt Thyra. Women in Franct--3 Practical Joke~-Ggorges Sand in tho Vatican Library, ELECTION OF THE POPE. Philadeiphia_Press. % The procedure in Rome immediately after the death of the Pope is of a- complicated but rou- tine description, first begun over eight centuries azo. In 1059 Nicholas. 1L, issued.a bull- con- fic g the clective frunchise to_the College of CurLinals, leaving to the clerzy and.people of Rome, who had previously shared the right with them, the ratification of their choice. A cen- tury later Alexander IIL decreed thata ma- jority of at least two-thirds of the Cardinals yotinz was necessary to avalid election. In 1274, under Gregory X., the Sccond Council -of Lyons directed that ten davs after the death of 2 Pope_(to ailow time for the arrival of ab- sentees) the Cardinals should enter into con- clave inthe palace in which he breathed his last, and that, with a limited number of attend- ants, they should be immured ntil the election was completed. ‘Thesc three decrees have formed _to this day the rule for the Papal election. It may here be mentioned, in the words of the late Cardinal Wiseman, that English writers commit a com- mon error in speaking of the *Conclave” as meaning the assembled body of Cardinals on any occasion. The word is only” applicd to them when *locked up together? for election of the Pope.” Indeed, the word is a comsound of the Latin con, with, and claves, a key. _Betwecn the death of the:Pope and the elee- tion of his successor the principal personage conuected with the Church in Rome used to be the Cardinal Camarlengo. His functions have Tong ceased to be more than purely ceremonial. The powers of the Cardinals during the in- terregnum have been confined between the narrowest limits by a series_of rigid _preserip- tions framed by suceessive Pontiffs. All public business, civil or ecclesiastical, that could possi- oly be postponed wasat a standstill while the throne' was vacant, and, until® comparatively recent times, the Popeless city was a seene of wild' and_hideous disorder. The Scmator of ome, o former official with an unposing title and little authority, used to opeu the pris- ons and let out the {pmates on the Pope’s death, and, even so latdly as the year 1635, the tcell ¥ of the newly-clected Pope was always sacked by the conelavists,” or attendants on the eleeting cardinals. From_that time until Juue, 1846, when Pope Pius IX. was clected, a sum of 515,000 was distributed among them by way of commutation. 1 On the cvening of the tenth day after the Pope's death as many of the seventy Cardinals s may then be in Rome will be immured ina series of *cells” fitted up in the Vatican with very primitive and soanty accommodation for comfort. Then this conclave will begin with the form of proving the respective right of each member to the suffrage. Laymen _may be, and bave been, Cardinals. Sextus V. made his nephew a Cardinal when a toy of 15, and as late 25 1735, when Clement I1. was Pope, Don Luis of Bourbon was named Cardinal Archbishop of Toledo at § vears of awe! From 1500 to 1345 the clection was held in the Quirinal, that princely palace on Monte Caratlo, hich was the favorite summer residence of the ‘Popes during the first seventy years of the pres- ent ceuturs. In the Pauline Cnapel, in thi wdifice, the voting took place. - On 2 larze table in front of the altar the chalice was placed asa ballot-box, and in a fireplace behind the voting papers were burned, after an inconclusive bal- iot, the smoke issuing from the chimney or flue Dbeing a sign to the cxpectant crowd oatside tnat there was no Pope as yet. There are taree modes of clection—by inspiration. comrromise, or balloting. The lirst is when ail the Cardinals unanimously choose the same person; the Sccond, when they qelezate their powers toa fow of their own body; the third, when there is 2 ballot, twice a day, under very compiicated recalations. Noone can vote for himself. “ne Courts of France, Austria, aud Spain Tonz coulil exercise a right of veto before the canonival majority of two-thirds’ vote had com- pleted the election. In January, 1831, alter the dvath of Pius VI, when Cardinal Guistiniani had received twenty-one votes out of twenty- nine Suflicient for election, an objection to him s made. on the part of Spain, without reason allegred, and it had due weight, for Cardinal Cappellari was clected Pope on February 3. 1841 and took the name of Grerory XVI. tis Dbelieved that in June. 1846, after ‘the death of this Pontiff, it was only from their envoy arriv- iner too late in Rome that the Court of Vienna did not veto the_clection of Cardinal Mastai, whose reign, as Pius IX., is the longest oo record. Under the present much-changed condition of church affairs in Rome it may be' assumed, yith much certaiuty, that no Papal power will be allowed by the _Conclave to_exercise a veto, and that the next Pope, like all his_predeces- gors, from Adrian VI.' (who was a Dutchman, clected in 1522), wwill be an Iralian, though there is no ryle to that cffect. The moment a Pope is_elected he receives what s Acnominated the “first adoration” of Fihe Cardinals in the chapel, and then is pro- claimed to the publicas the choice of the Con- clave.

The Varietics have so far departed from old- esi wont and custom os to thro¥ open their orchestra seats to ladies on certain evenings of the week, while still excluding them on the others. There are now in Paris but three thea- tres where ladies aré rigidly excluded from the parquette and orchestra seats, namely: the Grand Opera. the Opera Comique, and the Comedie Francaise, and the first-mentioned es- tablishment bas so far relaxed its rules as to admit the ladics to the’ tabooed places on the off or nou-subscription nights. French gentle- men protest loudly against the innovation, but invaln. It ie_very singular to note how rauch -Frenchmen dislike to have women ‘“‘around’ when they want to amuse themselves. I once asked a very cultivated and -intelligent gentlemen 1s to why they wished to exciude Indies from certain choice places at the theatres. -After a moment’s besitation he made auswer: “ell, Mudame, we cannot say what we like t¢ cach other when there are women present.™ Undoubtedly the French bourgeolse is not 1 pleasant person to come in contact. with at any _place.

Finally, after miuch uproar aad talking, the box-upener was foreed to retire, leavicr lier stony and imn- movable antazonist mistress of the situation and the coveted pla.es. The bO-opener re- licved her mind by telling the old woman that she was a liar, the ticket-holders were avcommo- dated with other seats, and the very amusing little scene_came to an eud.

GEORGES SAND. Finrence Correspondznce Philide!phia Telegraph. A comical ancedote about Georges Sandt came to my knowledge the other day, althouzh every detail of herlife scemed exhaasted by “Les Der- aieres Tages™ lately published in Paris. In 1853 two visitors stood outside the Vatican Library in Rome, and with them them the Gurator ol the Library, Mousiguor di S.Marzano. The cannon from Castie Sant’ Angelo announced 12 o’clock, the doors were opened, and the visitcrs walked in. One of these was a woinan exceed- jugly plain in dress and appearance, her gray hairs smoothed tight to her temples, nothing remarkable about her except her eyes. Two gentlemen were in the Ball of study at the time, and one (a celebrated Greek scliolar) said to the other. “Did you recoznize her?” “No.” “(Georges Sand!” At _this name the Monsiznor started and exclaimed, ¢ Georze: ad! Thank God I bavenot tonched Ther even withi a glance! 77 And he walked away ‘hurriedly as if the writers of the Tapal [ndes Tiad been after bim. The other. two, not shur- jog his relizious scrupics, turned their atte: tion to the visitor who now cxcited all their inter- est and curiosity, for they hoped to hear Sand speuk. She examined pictures and documents with scrapulous care, but said not a word.

Two letters were now plaved before her, the autoaraphs of Kinz fenry THIL, to Anne Boleyn. - For- half an hour the great writer stood and mized at these papers, fier e sparkline, her cheeks crimsoned with the intensity of thought. Then the attendant. tired of waiting, patled the letter away and said Jtwas time toclose the library. ‘laimed Georges Sand: and that was all she said after four hours and a half. fer admiring pursuers zave up for that day.
