The CnrIist ConsnirncY.

found letters to her from General Cabrera and
senor Aparisi (Carlsts in Paris). In one of
these letters, dated the 18th ult, she is directed
ITO advise her friends to be ready by the 23d
inst, which date is supposed to be that of the
general rising. The reports from sundry places
in the country speak of Carlist agitation in many
points, and bands of 20 TO 80 are giving anxiety
by violence and robbery Three mail coaches,
IN solitary country districts, not far from Madrid,
have been attacked ut night by armed men
and robbed. The worst feature of the Carlist
conspiracy is that the clergy are at the bottom
of it; some people say they all are. l. is noto-
rious they are still far from being reconciled to
the new order of religious liberty instituted i'm
the Constitution, and that they entertain visions
of yet restoring Spain to that Catholic unity
the revolution has broken. There are upward
of 10000 of them in Spain, so it is easily seen
what an immense power for mischief they are.
Don Carlos himself is described as an uuintelli-
gent prince of the Bomba school, and with no
modern ideas. 1t was lately said that he had
been able to raise 600 in Spain.
The Latest French Duel.
The duel between Mr. Reginald Russella and NJ
de In Poeze came off at Chantly on the 26th ult.,
and is thus related by the Pal Mall Gdzete:-
Small swords were chosen, and it was agreed
that the fight should continue till one of the
men was incapable of holding his weapon.
couple of pocket handkerchefs having been
thrown on the ground at a distance of 20 PAGES
from each other to mark the lines to which
either party might give way, swords were
crossed, and on the word dLJez being given the
combat commenced. VI. de Ia Poeze attacked
with such vigor that he exposed himself to his
I adversary and received n wound in the neck:
but, as it was simply a scratch, from which the
blood, however, flowed rather freely, the fight
went on. Again the Frenchman assumed
the offensive, and again he was touched by his
! adversarys sword this time in the arm; but the
hurt was trivial, and a third appeal was made to
the god of battles. Regardless OF his punish
ment, NJ. de Ia Poeze again forced the fighting,
and with such vigor that he drove Mr.. Russell
to within yard of his handkerchief. The lat
ter gentleman now thought it high time to
q change his tactics, and making q successful
lunge, he wounded his antagonist in the chest.
! VI. de In Poeze fell and the affair was over.
The victim in this encounter, though slightly
touched in one of the lungs, is not thought to
be in danger, and before Mr.. Russell left the
ground he desired to shake hands with him.

The Imprisoned Nun at Cracow.
The case of the imprisoned nun at CracOw,
. which led to the recent riots there, forms the
subject of an article in the Vienna PreSSe, from
which we learn that the name of the prisoner is
Barbara Ubryk, and that the statement that she
had been confined for twenty-one years is cor
rect. The civil authorities were informed of the
l. fact by an anonymous letter in a woman's hand
writing, and the bishop of the diocese was COM
municated with. \ judge visited the convent
and found in a cell, seven PAGES long by six
PAGES wide, an entirely naked half insane wo-
man, who, at the unaccustOmed view of light,
the outer world, and human beings, folded her
hands and pitifully implored:-"I am hungry
have have h pity ayooant n me- give e T6s meat Hoo and q
could hardly be called a chamber besides con-
tanning all kinds of dirt and filth and dish with
rotten potatoes was deficient of the slightest de-
cent accommodation. There was nOthing-no
stove, no bed no table, no chair-it was neither
a warmed by fire nor by the rays of the sun.
1.-THE Judge instantly ordered the nun to be
clothed, and went himself for Bishop Gaecki.
The bishop was deeply moved, and, turning to
the assembled nuns, he vehemently reproached
them for their inhumanity; rs this, he said,
what you call love Of your neghbor
Furies, not women, that you are, is it thus
that you purpose to enter the kingdom of
= heaven ?" The nuns ventured to excuse
their conduct, but the bishop would not hear
chem. 'Silence, you wretches!' he exclaimed;

religion /" The father cOnfessor, Pianthicwicz,
fln old priest who was present, dared to observe
Hhat the ecclesiastical authorities were aware of
his scandal whereupOn the bishop and prelate,
XSpital denied his assertion, and at once sus-
0pended the father cOnfessor and the superiOress,
{who is descended from an old honorable Polish
noble family. The bishop ordered Nun Barbara
4 Ubryk to be brought into clean cell, and there
II to be dressed and nursed which the lady superior
n obeyed very re luctantly. When the unhappy nun

brought back to her grave, and when asked
why she had been imprisoned, she answered.

M The lady superior declared that Barbara Ubryk
was kept in close confinement since 1S4S by
B order OF the physician, because of her unsound
mind. But this physician died in 1913, and the
q present physician, Dr. BabrZynski, who has been
practising in the convent for the last seven
years, has never seen Barbara Ubryk. On ac-
count of the importance of the case, the Attor-
r. ney-GeneTal has taken the matter in hand. The
- 9Xasperation of the people knows no bounds 1t
:. Is stated that the bishop intends to dissolve the

H The New Spanish Ministers.

Gazette Writes:-"Of the three new COmers, two.
Ardanaz and Echegaray, road engineers, and
