FROM ROME.
ROME. June 1.-THE sun sank to rest
last evening, and with his declining
beams closed silently the 25th year of the
most glorious Pontiticate recorded IN 'ne
annals Of the Church. In the same sad 81

guarantees, waves a hostile banner! Inc
SUN of this morning arose bright and beau

loved Pontif, Plus TX. Thus, when the
darkness Of the night which Expresses us

As the Holy Father says, CHOW the waves
beating against the Rock do it no harm
they ONLY wash it," We must try and take
our trials for our publication, but 1t is
hard, very hard to think that we In Rome
dixie all poor Catholics in Italy, are de-
barred from showing by any external signs
our joy in this day. The putting out OF
light or a piece of yellow muslin, even
when done by baby of five years old, is
crime punishable by the precursors of the
wearing of a yellow tie or the purchase OF
n yellow flower endangers ones life or
limbs. 1,,,o
The dear Holy Father, Vicar of Him Who
drank for US of mingled gall and honey
has the glorious triumph of to-day emolt-
tered by knowing that numbers of His SOL
liers. euileless as the innocents OF all ohen-

They presented their congratulations

of the Church. This monument will &C
plete the link which in so singular m

incidence which made st. John, to WI

we trust that, though like ST. John,
posed to continual martyrdom, COO
spare us the pain of seeing ourselves
prived of him by violence.
Then succeeded all the generals and
