Chonsiu;; a Pope.
For nearly a thousand years the Ro
man Pontiff was chosen by the suffrag
es of the civic magistrates, the peepl
and tlic clergy of Koine, in whom alone
the elective frnne-hise h:l become ve-st-
ed. Jt is tl ue that their choice w;is not
always a free one, the turbulent Hare,ns

towns often dictating to the voters or
corrupting them; and, from the begin
ning of the eleventh century, the Km
perors of Germany seeking to control
the election. Jt was doubtless with the
Tiew of destroying the inlluence of the
Imperial party in future J'apal elections
thatllildcbrand prevailed upon Nich
olas II, to issue, in IO.'jO, his memorable
bull conferring the franchise upon the
Caidiuals exclusively, by whom it has
ever since' been exerci.vd. As more
than thiee-femrihs of the Sacred ('-liege
ire Italians, their choice; is apt to fall
on eme of their countrymen; and, in
point of fact, it is now more than three
centurie'S since' any iiher than an Ital
ian has lille-d the I 'a pal throne. The
' limitation of the Miffiage to the we-ar-ers
of the red hat has. however, been
regarded by some Catholics with tib-favor,
and not long since a society w;is
formeei in Italy with the avow e-d pur
pose of "vindicating the rights of Chris
tians generally, ami the 1 tomans par
ticular', in electing the next Tope."
Only a few weeks since it was an-
nounce-d that I'nis
IX. legarded the
"v r t ?&$ of this society as having in
5 c.... y "oji.uiuuication, a

feasibility d' introdue'ing e-e'itain modi
fications in the system if e-h'ction. so
that the elector may exeiciM' full lib
erty when a successor to J'ius IX. is to
be chosen. Of course the Cardinals
will always retain the franchise, and it
9 will never be restricteel again to the
Koinan community; but the agitation
may bring abemt the choice of a .Span

the nextPaoal elec!ion.

will be completed about the middle of

be devoted to a series of shops for class
instruction in the use ef tools and
fouudery work. These shops will be
furnished with benches and tools as
f:ust as the plans can be carefully ma

will be a turner's shop, a joiner's and

large enough to test thoroughly the

Adulteration of Claret.
It has lately been ascertained that un
scrupulous wine-growers in France are
using theanaline dye fuehsiue or ma-
1 genta, to restore the color of claret after
it has been diluted with water. That
the beverage thus treated is harmful in
its ediaracte'r, is proved by experiments
conducted by M. 21. Felt and Kitten
Accordiug to their testimony, a half
grain of fuchsine in solution, taken on
an empty stomach, causes eleep redness
of the ears, intense itching of the mouth,
and slight swelling of the gums. On
repeating the eiose every day for a fort
night, diarrhea and albuminuria were
developed in addition so the other
symptoms. Fuschine injected into the
stomach or veins of a dog induced the
same symptoms. A large or frequently
Tpeated elose invariably eaused the ap
pearance of albumen in the urine a
result due to a peculiar degeneration of
the corticn1 "1",i"",n"f iU kidneys.

reason of greater vitality or general

called upon to take action at the commencr-iaini
of the civil war ia placing the state in lino for
that conflict. Gov linker w.i made chairman
of the Committwc on Military, aad as 'mh b-camo

trInj- po-ition of Adjutant -ud Inip-tur (jiii
eral, determined to cS'er 11 to Gov. Raker, who
accepted, at oi.ee abandoning a good practice,
and entered with zeal, energy, and almost incon
ceivable industry into the work of organizing
the volunteer forces of the stv.e. Refor' his ap
pointment, three," or po-sibly four, regiment
had bei.n nnirinff4 nnrl .i-n! to ?hf t'.r.d xftrr
almost -uperhuman effort on tire pa.rt of the ,
Governor. Thenceforth tie labors of that officer
were sensibly lightened through the etTectie
serT'.ccs of the Adjutant eicr.eral. All of the reg
iments afterward- raised, some forty-eight in
number, besides several battalions and batteries,
were recruited nnder bis supervision. And hii
care extended not only to the oversight of the or
ganization, bur to the want, of the individual
soldier, and many a nsa"c&3i to him with a sto
ry of suffering oriniustiie, and none went away
unatised. This wm a costly thing to the Ad
jutant General, who-e parse wa taxed by his
Ceneroity far more than it coald bear.
InlS62the duties of Quartermastar Ger-eral
were assigned to hJm bv act of the Geaer.l As
teaibly. A few month; later, the oSce of Assist
ant Adjutant General was created, who re.ieved
his chief of tho then heavy work of thi pay de
partment. In 1M6 this oce beccme extinct,
since which time the Adjutant General has per
formed the duties of all the chief staff ofiicera of
the military of the State. Ia lyJJ the General
Assembly raised ths military reak of the Adja
unt General, which had thretofore teen that o!
a Colonel of Cavalry, to that of a Brigadier Gen
era!. Col. Baker had been re-appointed by Gov.
Stone, and continued in o2ce with the advanced
rank, under successive appointments by Gov
M-rrf!I, Carpentir and Kirkwood, until hi death.
Politically, Gen. Baker ceased to act with bis
former political associates about the beginning
of the war. In 1S61 he was nominated by the
Union," or opposition, party lor Governor, but
declined the nomination. Thenceforward he in
