• ONE MILE WALKING HANDICAP.—This was for two fine
cups given by Mr. J. Reeves, of Islington, for which there
were 13 entries. They were fairly handicapped from F.
Maidment, of Enfield, at scratch, down to Heath, of the
City, with 150 yards' start. The competitors were divided
into two heats, the first of which was won by young Gilbert,
of Hammersmith, a lad, 100 yards start, in good style, fruit-
ing five others. In the second heat E. Burrows, Tower-hill,
40 yaids start, beat three othere. Gilbert, 100, and Barrows,
40, came together for the final heat. A fine race ensued, but
Burrows was nevar ablo to close up the gap with the loading
lad, and Gilbert won by 20 yards. The cups were after-
wards presented in the evening to the winners at Mr. Tom-
linson's, " Hand-in-Hand," Frog-lane, Islington.

THE BISHOP OF ORLEANS ON 7HE

PAPAL ARMY.

Gentlemen, —Let us return thanks to God. A
short time ago I begged you to pray for the Holy
Father and his valiant little army, and also for the
French soldiers sent to support and aid their cause.
Your prayers have been heard, and it is now the
time to return thanks. A remarkable victory and
a decisive step has been gained by the Pontifical
troops over the Garibaldian bands. Here is a day
in which justice, principle, honour, and religion
can hold up their heads, and rejoice with the whole
of France, and proclaim an undisputed victory over
the crying evils of the day. Let us admire the con-
stancy of the Roman people, a people as inflamma-
ble as any of the Italian race who have been goaded
on to revolution by every base artifice, who have
been incited to rise up against their noble Sove-
reign, resisting all enticements, and standing up
to support him whom they were taught to betray
and to destroy. Let us admire that glorious spirit
which animated the youth and heroism of this and
other nations to go at once and take part in the
generous combat at the first news of the peril which
surrounded the Holy Father. But, above all, let
us admire, and that without ceasing, the courage,
the more than common bravery, the indefatigable
ardour of that little Pontifical army, which seemed
to be present at all points, and wherever it was
attacked, and foremost in every danger, apparently
ready to be overwhelmed by the numbers of the
enemy, and, even had it perished, it would only
have done so, covered with glory and honour.
Chosen warriors, noble hearts, I admired them in
Rome a few months ago ; proud of their calling and
their arms, they hardly seemed able to contain their
longing and ardent chivalry, and were ready to
maintain the most glorious of causes, the cause of
God and His Vicar, at the risk of every thing the
world holds most dear ; then it was a sacrifice of
every hour, of every day, which appeared to me
quite as heroic and as grand as that of a moment
of battle. They deserved a recompense, and God
has crowned their patient labours with an astound-
ing result, a fruit ripe in its season. Yes, God has
given them the most striking of recompenses, one
that their confiding hearts prayed for—He has led
them out to battle Himself in a miraculous manner.

" Reddidet justes sapientia mercedem laborum
suorum et deduxit eos in via mirabili." What
could be more marked than the Providence over
the devoted troop ! They put their trust in Him,
and He was their rampart and their rallying cry !
Day and night they saw Him as a bright and shin-
ing column leading them on to victory ! "Et fuit
illis velumentum dici et in luce stellarum per
noctem." That some fell bathed in blood, but
across that vivid stream God gave the victory.
" Transtulit illos per mare ruborum." They fought
for principle and honour, and justice has triumphed
and carried off the spoils of the wicked. " Justi
tulerunt spolia impiorum." And now they sing and
celebrate thy Holy name, 0 Lord, and thy vic-
torious and mighty arm ! "Et decaltamerunt
Domini nomen sanctum tu um laudaverunt pariter."
And let us ask ourselves, 0 Wonderful ! 0
Miracle ! who were these conquerors ? Young,
inexperienced men ! Youthful age, all but children
many of them. Yes, they are the babes out of
whose mouth Thou hast ordained praise. " Sapi-
entia aperuet os mutorum lingua infantium fecit
desertas." What is the sound that overwhelms and
rises high above every other in this victory ? Listen
to it ! Its eloquent appeal is irresistible ; it pro-
claims aloud that many great hearts beat high, not
merely for praise—oh, no !—but to prove that they
know how to devote themselves in the cause of
weakness, in the service of the poor, and for the
sake of justice and principle. It reveals, too, that
the sacred cause of the Holy Pontiff penetrates the
depths and touches the most delicate fibres of
the human heart. These youths have conquered
not only a numerous army of violent, resolute, and
desperate men, but they have triumphed over the
vilest calumny and the basest lying. They have
crushed both sophism and revolution—they have
laid bare before an incredulous and scoffing world
a free and noble people, and a Sovereign beloved

•s not be but these things must Nive
one diplomacy of Europe.
Behind these troops, I am happy to state !that
I perceive my country advance to support them ;
still their intrepid conduct, I repeat, has enabled
us to take time to join the great cause. And
oh! I cannot help telling you that in the terri-
ble suspense in which, for many days, we heard of
the Italian forces entering the Pontifical territory,
and the apparent possibility of its routing the
Pontifical army, and perhaps laying its sacrilegious
hands on the Eternal City, I cried daily, loudly,
before the God of all armies, and said :--" No,
Lord, spare this grief, this sorrow to Thy Church,
and this disgrace, this stain to my country ;" and
to-day I add—" Yes, Lord, Thou hast ever loved
this country, for Thou hast given her an immortal
opportunity of drawing her valiant sword, and of
proclaiming to the world more solemnly than ever,
that she respects principle, justice, and hono-le."
Let us thank God she has done this. The Emperor
has commanded it. He has proved openly that
France is not to be frightened by vile menaces and
odious machinations, nor to be driven by the
cajolings of artful partizans. The banks of the
Tiber have greeted our flag, and I cannot describe
the joy I felt when I read that the noble chiefs of
our valorous army had shaken hands with the
generals of the Pontifical troops, and shown France
at once to the world the faithful and powerful
protector of the Holy See, to give weight to her
counsels so often despised, and to maintain hear
honour and to enforce her principles even at the
expense of her blood and her arms, as we have just
had proof. I do not pretend to unravel or to, under-
stand diplomacy and its mysteries, but I must say
here is nowa brilliant opportunity for her to plead
for justice and to strengthen principle, and to
maintain the immense influence, as well as -the
prestige of our great mission, and to make an end
worthy of the noble mission she has undertaken ;
and certainly no -one will dare to snatch this im-
mortal crown of glory from the head of modern
France. She has now the undisputed right to
demand from Italian hands (treacherous, indeed,
they are) definite and serious pledges of fidelity.
Who has been blind to the extremities of lying and
of disloyalty to which they brought us? The bare
remembrance curdles the very blood of every
Frenchman, and raises the indignation of public
conscience. When I repeat to myself that France
—that is to say, Charlemagne, Henry IV., Louia
XIV., Napoleon—had to face Garibaldi and his
rebel crew, and Rattazzi, and that they hesitated
—even now when all is happily ended—l say even
now, my patriotism trembles, and I exclaim, can
we ever again allow ourselves to be bamboozled by
cunning and ridiculous tricks, or believe their
lying asseverations? They are revealed at present,
I hope. Can we dare to leave the Holy Father
again in the peril into which our vacillation has
reduced him—to the valour it is true, but hardly
sufficient of the Catholic volunteers? Can we ever
again expose our country to the danger of seeing
one day the Italian revolutionists go before us in
Rome and seek alliance with our enemies, to turn
against our own breasts ? Oh, no !we arenot so
blind.

People say, all will now be settled in Congress !
And what is a Congress to do now when arms
have decided the question? The sovereign power
of the Head of the Church must be respected.
This duty is written in large letters on the French
flag. " The Pope must be master in his own domi-
nions," and his frontiers must protect him. If a
Congress there must be, surely it should be a
Congress of crowned heads—of Kings, of Sove-
reigns. I cannot, I must say, bear to hear talk of
the destinies of Pius LX. and the holy Church being
left to the tender mercies of Prince Gortschakoff
and M. de Bismarck. And well, indeed, may the
crowned heads of Europe, who so lately traversed
countries for the sake of a " bauble," and spent
days in the search of novelty and amusement,
devote a few hours to the sacred cause of justice
and honour, which so nearly concerns themselves.
Let me tell them what I would inscribe on the
walls of the room in which they were to meet to
discuss these vital matters—" Do to others what
you would have done to yourselves !" And, more-
over, did the question arise among them, under
pretext of reform, of circumscribing the authority
of those over whom they have no power—or of de-
manding exactions which have been so often
proved unjust—l would add, " Let him who is
without sin cast the first stone." For us, we have
a powerful arm to wield, every one of us—it
prayer. Let us continue to pray, and even redouble
our prayers, and never faint. Let us pray for those
who have fallen in this great struggle. Let us
pray that God would guide the counsels of those
who are called upon to govern and to direct the
order of things--that light and strength may be
given themto secure justice, and truth, and peace.
From this day we desire that the prayers ordered
at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass be changed for
nine days in thanksgiving prayers. " Pro gratias
agendis et pro defunctis."

A HUNTER'S DEATH.—Poor Florian at length
covreered from his complaint, but was killed by a lion.
He had wounded an elephant, which on the following
morning he found dead; a lion had eaten a portion during
the night. While he was engaged with his mon in extract-

,ng the tusks, one of his hunters (a Tokroori) followed the

track of the lion on the stud, and found the animal lying be-
neath a bush ; he fired a single-barrelled rifle, and wounded
it in the thigh. Ile at once returned to his master, who ac-
companied him to tho spot, and the lion was found lying
under the same bush, licking the wound. Florian fired, and
missed; the lion immediately crouched fora spring; Florian
fired his remaining barrel— the ball merely grazed the lion,
who almost at the same instant bounded forward and
struck him upon the bead with a fearful blow of the paw,
at the same time it seized him by the throat. The Taroori
hunter, instead of flying from the danger, placed the muzzle
of his rifle to the lion's ear, and blew its brains out on the
body of his master. The unfortunate Florian had bean
struck dead, and great difficulty was found in extricating
the claws of the lion, which had penetrated the skull.
Florian, although a determined hunter, was an exceedingly
bad shot, and withal badly armed for encounters with
dangerous game. I had fropently prophesiA some
calamity from the experience I had had in a few days
shooting in his society, and most unhappily my gloomy
prediction was fulfilled. This was the fate of too good
and sterling Germans, who had been my cornpalions in
this wild country, where degrees of rank are entirely for-
gotten, provided a man be honest and true.— The Nile
Tributaries of Abyssinia. By Sir Samuel W. Baker.
" COLONEL" KELLY.—It is stated that informa-

tion has been received from a reliable source that " Colonel"
Kelly is in Belgium. An officer from Scotland-yard has
been sent to inquire into the truth of it. Of course Kelly's
person is sacred there ; but the authorities are anxious
to have the information confirmed by one who, if Kelly
is there, will most probably not only recognise him, but
find the means of having an interview with him.—Globe.
I ADVERTISEMENT.] Holloway's Pills.—Sleeplessness,
flatulency, acidity, nausea, and all dyspeptic indications
may be speedily relieved by these famous Pills, of which
large quantities are shipped to all parts of the world. The
constantly-increasing demand for Holloway's medic:Ale
proves its power over disease, and its estimation by the
public. In weakness of the stomach, iu diseases of the
liver, and in disorders of the system, caused by cold or a
slugglish circulation, no medicine is so efficacious, no
remedy so rapid, as these Pills, which are altogether in-
capable of doing mischief. By quickening digestion they
give refreshing sleep, sharpen the appetite, impart tone to
the digestive organs, purify and enrich the blood, regulate
the secretions, and strengthen whole physical frame.
