Remarkable speech of the Pope
His Holiness not Worn Ont nor
Weary. I lHl.N

Remarkable Speech of Ihe Pope
His Holiness not Worn Ont nor
Weary.
1t has already been made known that
q 900 male citizens of Rome affixed
their names, with their address and oc-
cupation, to a letter to the Pope, ex-
pressing their grief at the occupation OF
Rome by the italian government, and
their anxiety to see the Pope restored to
his former independence. When this
address, with its $1,000 signatures, was
presented to the Pope the other day, he
made very remarkable speech, of which
the following is translation:
Yes, it is most true, and let us render
glory TO God and thanks to God for max
ing It thus manifest that Rome has been
true to herself. Heaven grant that
never may it have to be said Of her,
"Woe unto thee Choraizin, woe unto
thee Bethsaida, for if the mighty things
had. been done in Tyre and Sidon which
have been done in thee, they would
long ago have repented in sack-cloth
and ashes; therefore it shall be more
tolerable in the day of judgment for
Tyre and Sidon than for you." MOI
never can such words apply to Rome.
The spirit of honor and loyalty
which held you close bound to
me, which in the midst Of overflow
ing evil keeps you in the straight path
of Justice with such abundant courage,
renders yoA worthy subjects Of this Holy
City, empurpled with the blood of her
noble martyrs, and rendered illustriOus
by the heroic virtue Of her multitude of
confessors. The good works to which
you devote yourselves with so great zeal,
your labors for the maintenance and diff
fusion of religion, viii assuredly earn
for you the blessings of God and the ap-
plause of all men of piety, not TO say of
all the Just and upright. May God
keep you ever faithful to your good in
tentions and preserve you from contami-
nation of the evils which have over
flowed this city. With my whole
affection / pour out my benediction
upon you and upon your families, and
bless all those who now, being out Of
Rome, are prevented from snbjoining
their names as they could wish.
Men have said that / am worn out
and weary. True, am weary of witness
ing the iniquity, injustice and disorder
around us; j am weary Of the insults Of
fered day by day to religion in this city,
which was wont to shine before the world
as an example Of faith and morals; ]
am weary Of the oppression of the weak
and innocent, Of the insults offered to
ministers Of the sanctuary, of the proian-
alton Of objects Of our dearest venera-
ton. OF all this / am weary in
truth But, worn out and weary in the
sense of being ready TO surrender the
cause committed to me; in the sense Of
being ready to compromise the struggle

About FIVE years ago, a growth Of null
berry trees in front of residence on
the corner of Hunter and Pryor streets,
in Atlanta, Georgia, became the resort,
or roost, Of a few martins, who came
regularly there every evening during the
summer months. Year by year the num-
Der that resort to these trees has been
on q rapid increase, and now they are
almost innumerable. The Era says:
During the day not martin can be OBJ
served in the city limits; but at 6 o'clock
in the evening they can be seen coming
from all directions in swarms of hun
dreds. They collect and hover high in
the air over the roost until the whole
force seems o'be collected. They form
a black cloud of animated, feathery ma
ture, that spreads over acres of space,
and the pipings from their tiny throats,
together with their queer antics, make
a scene that nightly attracts a large
crowd of ladies and gentlemen to the
place. When the time comes for roost-
ing, the cloud gradually settles in com
pact shape, and then, with revolving
motion, unwinds itself and pours a
rapid stream into the tree-tops, which in
FIVE minutes time are literally loaded
down and black with their presence.
They are never interfered with, and with
early morn swarm away in every diree-
ton. They doubtless come in from al
most every portion of Georgia and the
neighboring States.

An amusing instance Of unconsciously
splitting difference is recorded in the
Memoirs of Madame de Lanny," a
French writer of the last century, 'la
A certain literary gentleman of her
acquaintance paid her marked attention
for considerable time. 1t was his habit
to call for her at friends house, where
she usually spent the day, TO offer her
his arm and to see her home. After an
interval, however, at about the time
when declaration might have been ex-
pected, the attention Of the man Of let
ters relaxed somewhat He still mani
tested regard for her, but not SO intense
a regard as he had shown her at first.
1t had been his wont, in passing
through large square on his way to the
ladys home, to take her round the two
sides of the square; as his fervor abated
he still escorted her home-he could not
at once give up the practice-but he
made short work Of it. Instead Of going
along the two sides of the square, he
"split the difference" and crossed it
diagonally. Then" the witty lady re-
marks, Il concluded that his regard for
me had at least diminished by the differ
enee between the diagonal and the two
sides Of square.

Tie Asiatic Choiern-Is 1t Not an Animal.
culm Disease
We have before US a communication from an
intelligent citizen, in which, after referring to
our late editorial mention of Raspail's opin-
ion that the Asiatc cholera is an ANNA cule
disease. our witness on the subject says -
''This theory of Raspail, think, will ulti-
mately prove correct. In the years ls49 and
1850, during the ravages of the cholera in the
West Indies, found, on examining micro
scopically the water of the localities where
the disease existed, that it was impregnated
with animalcue foreign to the place. which
disappeared simultaneously with the disease
These animacule would die when placed In
contact with camphor, which seemed to be to
them q deadly poison" This is strong cir
cumstantial evidence in support of Raspail,
and we are almost certain that thorough
microscOpical investigation, not only Of the
water in localities affected, but of the evacua-
tions of o sufferer from this pestilence of the
Ganges, would establish the fact that the dis
ease Is caused, propagated and dffused by
animalcul@.
Should the cholera again visit our shores
our correspondent recommends the following
preventive, and says that It will be found Of
great value, as he has seen 1t successfully ap-
piled :-"All water for drinking purposes
should be we'll boiled and kept tightly
covered; for il Is IN the water where the
greater number of animalcul@ are found. We
should also carefully abstain from oil liquids
which have not been thoroughly purified by
fire. A judicous use, internally, OF few
drops of spirits Of camphor, daily, destroys
the animalculm as fast as they enter the sys-
TEN, thereby arrcsting the disease" 1t will
thus be seen that our correspondent in the
premises ia fully convinced that the animal
culm theory solves the mystery as to the real
character Of this Asatic pestllence; and The

The Manifesto Of Mnzxi,s.

We publish elsewhere in the HERALD this
morning a document addressed by Mazzin to
the workngmen of Italy. 1t is remarkable
for its apparent thoughtfulness and common
sense. He advises his countrymen to keep
aloof from the International Society Of Work
ingmen-an organization which he affects to
despise, denounces as impracticable in its
make it successful. Irreligious, devoid Of
nationality and false in its teachings regarding
the acquisition of wealth or the hold
Jog Of Property, this society, which
aims to control a vast multitude, must,
according to Mazzini, fail. 1t is
in England DR.. Carl Marx, whom the Italian
patriot regards as the soul of the Interna-
tonal, is man of acute genius, of domineer-
ing temper, jealous of the influence of every
body else, without religious or philosophical
convictions and with more of the elements
of hate than love in his heart. In this por-
trait of the German radical. drawn by the
Italian revolutiOnist, we think we perceive the
incentive for the attack on the International.
Without sympathy for the cause which the
international espouses, and with an I'M
biassed estimate Of Mazzini, 1t appears
to us that the very jealousy which
Mazzini imputes to Marx is experienced in a
very great degree by Mazzni, aud his address
to the workingmen of Italy is not meant so
much as an honest expression of feeling for the
welfare of his countrymen, in the light in which
il is written, as it is an attack on the Interna-
tional Society, which, possibly, he finds he
cannot control. 1t is rather late in the day for
Mazzin to counsel moderation in morality, re-
ligion or politics. Men, however, have changed
their views ere now, and possibly Mazzini's
long experience In ''ways that are dark and
tricks that are vain" may have opened his eyes
to the errors Of his past life.
