THE POPE AND AMERICAN CATHOLICS

Interesting Letter of Pho Mono 20 the Xavier
Alumni sOdaIity-Hls Views the Bases of
American InstitutlOns.
Some weeks ago there was published an ad-
dress of the Xavier Alumni Sodality to the Pope
protesting against the occupation of Rome by
the soldiers of the Florentine Government
This protest was sent to the Holy Father and
his answer to it is ROW published
Tie following is translation of the Papal
brief. 1t is of peculiar interest as the first
answer sent from Rome to the protests of the
American Catholics and the Pope:-
Plus p. p. TX.
Beloved Children, Health and Apostolic Bene-
dcton:-
We who cherish with especial love associations
of Catholic youth, and because nothing can be
more acceptable and agreeable to us amid the
great confusion of the times aud the snares of
the impious, than that youth particularly should
walk zealously in the way of the Lord aud firmly
adhere to Christian discipline; we coald not, /
say, beloved children, read the noble declara-
tiOn of your sentiments expressed in your letter
of the 9Th day of December last without being
moved towards you with a peculiar sentiment
OF love.
For both your unshaken devotion towards us
and this Apostolic See, as you express it, alto
gether requires this of us, well the exalted
feelings of faith and religion by which you ex-
press your adherence of the sacrilegious crimes
cammitted by the enemies of truth and justice
against our rights and the rights of the Apos-
tolic BEE and against Holy Church, condemn
ing with merited reprobation the impious
deeds of the tyrannical rule of those who by
AIMED force aud by all sorts of deceit aud
fraud have trampled upon our civil power aud
liberty.
But what especially, beloved children, gives
us great esteem for your virtue, aud gains our
special praise, is your eloquent declaration that
you and all the members of your Sodality
place your honor and glory in upholding and
preserving firmly the principles of religion and
justice which you have received by inheri-
tance.
This noble resolution, beloved children, keep
faithfully and steadiastly; for since the founda-
tious of social order and prosperity in every
form of government, but especially in that
which exists among. you, are to be based evil
IDENTIFY on these principles; you know that the
whole stability, happiness, and honor of your
country depend upon the came, and that no
Othe.s deserve better of it than they who strive
to preserve and to promote reverenty the love
of justice, pure morality and religion.
We pray God TO confirm and strengthen with
his grace your Wills 10 these sentiments. and
that your example may produce abundant fruit
even TO the advantage of others.
Finally, as presage of all heavenly gifts and
as pledge of our paternal benevoeuce, receive,
beloved children, the apostolic benedietion,
which We very lovingly bestow on each and
every one of you.

heads of the unfortunate men. Spiers and
Smith were killed instantly. The formers neck
was broken, his head crushed, his legs broken,
and his body otherwise horribly mutilated. One
hand was pressed against his face, leading to the
inference that he had attempted to shield him-
self from the fate which he had no power to
avert. The neck, arms, and legs of Smith were
broken, his ribs fractured, and his body otherwise
mapgled. His arms were folded over his head

having the house properly braced.

four hundred eolonists, consisting of men,
women, and children, OF various nationelities,

California gold excitement. Many of the emf
grants are Swedes aud Germans, nearly ali
ycung and aole- bodied men aud women.
The purpose of these coloDists in going to
the hitherto almost unexplored regions of Lower
California Is to gather an article of moss or
"oTchilla," which is substitute tor the much
more expensive "cocbineal" used for dyeing
purposes, the ''orchilla" making a beautiful
bluesh red dye, called by the French Magenta.

ard accompanied them on their voyage.
Mr.. Puch left Gusyaquil on the 9th of last
August In his brig VeDetia in search of some
locality where orch,lla could be found. In
Lower California he found the object of his
search in immense quantities. He traversed
the whole country, which he describes as one of
the most delightful and fertile in the world,
and asoundiDg in fruits, game, and wild cattle
Mr.. Puch at once made contract with the
Lower California Company for the exclusive
right to gather and export this orchilla. He
then spent some weeks in New York, employing
men to go there for this purpose. He desires to
employ altogether about 5000 men, women, aud
children. the first instalment of 400 having
