Religion, Science, Politics and Pleasure
I'm the Old World.
The special correspondence, by mail, from
| Europe which we publish in our columns to-
day supplies an ample, varied, accurate and
highly interesting detail of the main points of
the news transmitted to us by cable kilograms
TO the 9th of November, besides celebrating in
addition many important features In the moro
direct issue and with reference to the future
bearing of the most remarkable events then
transporting in the Old World 1t is scarcely
sufficient to say that the written exhibit is
worthy of the earnest attention Of all classes
OF the community. We are fully justified in
asserting that 1t will command it. Statesmen
will read it SO as to become ''posted' inde-
pendently Of the cred tape" routine system
on matters relating to foreign diplomacy
clergymen with reference to the Ecumenical
Council; political and social economists will
study in it still more deeply the different
systems of rule applied to France and Ger
many, besides learning of their effects on the
respective populations of both countries, as
shown in their everyday mode of life and
cnjoyments; transatlantic Spaniards and
Cubans will hear OF the Cabinet crises in
Madrid and, in their minds aye, see bull
fght-the one at which the manned matador,
Tato, bid farewell to the arena in the midst of
a scene of national, affectionate, enthusiastic
regret which the last of tho Bourbons may
have envied in her exile, and the like of which
even her dethronement failed to pr evoke.
The Most Rev. Catholic Archbishop Man
ming, of Westminster, England, speaks to our
special correspondent in London on the subject
of the Ecumencal Council, the Syllabus and
the probable results of the coming herarchi-
cal assemblage in the Eternal City in simple,
plain words and language, which contrast
very pleasingly with the verbose rhetoric of
the London press on the same subject and the
wrctched attempts which are being made by
some Of the writer's to reawaken in Great
Britain that spirit Of religious intolerance which
was really evaporated long since in tho wordy
''fury of Laud and the factious fanaticism Of the
Praise-God Barebones." Very many Catholic
prelates journeying to Rome had reached Lon
with bishop-a Frenchman--from the Sand
witch Islands, who travelled from San Fran
cisco to New York by tho Pacific Railroad,
being the first iron way which he had ever
seen, so that by the time he reaches
Rome his mind will be in quite
a natural condition to enable him
to form pretty correct opinion on the all
important subject of the actual relations
which exist between science and revelation,
and thus stand forth rs modern Joseph inter
preting the dreams Of the Swans to Father
Secchi, the astronomer, besides, perhaps,
Indicating a few of the tracings Of the modern
Handwriting on the wall" to the Sover-
eign Pontiff and the members of the Sacred
College.
Our writer in Constantinople tells of Euge-
MES present farewell to Turkey, besides
noting the arrival Of the Prussian and Italian
princes and the Emperor Of Austria, and
announcing the fact that the young King of
Greece was expected to visit the Sultan.
Paris presents Imperialism, q struggling cleo
toral franchise, industr ial wages "strikes, "
and the community vivacious and light-hcarted
as ever; Spain had Its chronic Cabinet crisis,
Prm, Cuban reports and the bull fight while
Berlin attended to the financial economies,
political party allegiances and German con-
solidation, permitting the veteran King Will
liam plenty Of time for the manly and royal
Teutonic amusement of boar hunt.
And thus does our enterprise progress and
show forth, bringing every day far off world
mora completely and intimately within tho
circle Of the metropolitan world of New York
through the pages of the HERALD.
