ROME, May a0.-Of the religious celebra-
lions of this week the principal has, perhaps,
been the fete of ST. Philip Neri, which is of
obligation here. The Pope attended it's
celebration at the Chiesa Nuova with what
is called semi-publico cortege, consisting OF
the carriages of his court, preceded by the
Prelate Cross Bearer mounted Oh white
mule. In the carriage were two cardinals
of the last acknowledgements and Monaco.
| Count and Countess Girgenu were also
present at the mass, which was sung by |
CARDINAL ,HohenlOhe. The lnfanta, who |
ton, was most enthusiastic in her interest |
in it. The Pope gave the Oratorians on
the occasion a magnificent altar-cross, in |
Byzantine style of orfecrerie, containing |
fragment of the True Cross. There was
presentation, limited in numbers, in the
sacristy after the mass. While the Holy
Father was Investing, and the people
thrOnging round to get near him as usual,
ga little vulgar boy crept between the
legs Of the stalwart Swiss Guards, his
by the process, and, pushing gently past
the noble crowd, made his way up to kiss
his foot. Encouraged by the indulgent smile
with which the Holy Father condoned his
familiarity, the little fellow, with much e1l
stood gazing at him as if he did not know
how to give up the advantageous position
he had gained. 1t was touching to see the
hand which may be raised to give effect to
the mightiest bann or benediction lying
l within the clasp of the small unwashed
: fingers of earths meanest little one, while
4 he; her greatest, forbid it not.
