The Holy See bas firmly resolved to transport it- self to the United States, should the stay in Rome become insupportable. It knows well that neither France nor Austria could give itasylum without an almost certain risk of war with Germany. It isdoubiful whether England would maintain the offer she once made of the island of Malta,and Spain is too much disturbed for the Pope to think of re- fuge there under existing circumstances. We nf@st not forget that the Saint Siege has taken the precaution to create a considerable reserve fund, which would be by no means useless in the states. This reserve does not count bundreds of millions, as some rs. unused to calculation, are pleased to declare, but it, amounts to over forty millions (£1,600,000). and increases almost dail, I have often heard this idea broached in ‘is by Ultramontanes, and there is every reason to believe the Debats’ correspondent to be well informed.

His sail was removed from one foot to the other, and in reply to the doctor's in- auiries, he complained of being sleepy. He had by this time reached the Varne Ridge, portion of the English Chanael, between Do- ver and Boulogne, where the tide is divided by the sand and the rocks into two currents. one of which, when the tide was rnnning i a westerly direction, would carry the Ame ican in the direetion of Dangeness. on the English side. and the other to ihe coast be- tween Caps Gritnez and Boulogue. An im rench pilot was that this ridge should be reached at a time when Capt. Boyton would be sure to catch the Freneh current, bat when be got there, probably through the loss of twenty minutes in starting, the surface of the sea was broken up into big and rough waves, which buffeted him abont until it reemed as if it would be impossible for him to contend against them for another five minutes. The wind was gradually growing stronger, so Capt. Boyton took down his sail for a quarter of anhonr and had what he called a rest in the water, holding on to the side of the boat.

Standing amid his books and pulpit drapery with a bymn book tn one hand and a $5 biil in the other, he invited contributions to the fund. Laying his $5 bill on the pulpit he sald: “Who'll cover that?” The amount was soon covered by one of the Creesuses of the flock. Down went a $2 bill followed by the exclamation, “Who'll cover that’ The amount was covered, and so on he went until he reached 50 cents. On laying down this piece of fractional currency, he said: “I now come to the old ladies, surely one of them | will cover that amount.” One of the elder | sisters tottered up to nerf ngpond and with an | evident air of satisfaction covered the 60 | cents with currency of the same denomina- 3 tion. «Now for the Sunday sehogl children,” | wouid no longer be responsible for Captain said the preacher, as he laid down ® 10 cent | Boyton’s safety.
