BOTH APRIL.
The 3Oth April is always great ami
versary with the Republicans, as on that
day, in 1913, they repulsed the French in
their attack on Rome, at the Porta st.
Pancrazi,. Last year they had process
sion to the spot and several very violent
speeches were made. This year the Circolo
Cavour has put out q notice that all the
various sOClcUlSs UIt W uCCG Ill CuO L ioLLu
Navona on Sunday next, and from thence
| to walk in procession carrying their ban
ners to the gate, where the usual iDflam-
matory addresses will DO made, AS tue
Government cannot afford to offend the
party of action, there will be no attempt
made to prevent the demonstration.
DIPLOMATIC REPRESENTATION.
The Revolutionary press are announcing
that Cardinal Prince Won Hohenloe has

the Pope. This news is not, however, be-
lieved here, nor is it very likelyth when
the Church is suffering SO much from
Prince Bismarck, he would choose the
present moment to send an Ambassador to
Rome. 1t is true that the Cardinal is re-
turning to Rome, and this may have gwen
rise to the report. Baron kubeck has been
named Austrian, and NJ. de Bourgong
French Ambassador to the Holy See. Both
nominations have given satisfaction.
| sIGNoR EosAs DISCOVERY.
It turns out that the discovery made in
the Forum by Signor Rosa is an imposition.
! A piece of marble with the inscription,
Romulus Martis fius, was dug up; or saia
to be dug up, a few days before the ami
versary of the Natalie di Rome. A great
amount of capital was made out of this,
and was The cause of no end of inslnua-
tions and accusations being made against
the Papal Government for not carrying on
the xcavation formerly There are two
things, however, that show that the dis
covery is a hoax-frst, marble was not
used in Republican times fer inscriptions,
and, secondly, the word Romulus was
never used to designate the founder o1
Rome, but always Quirinus. This Is Lot
the first act of the kind that has been com
mitted by the new administration OF anti
Quities in Rome.
STA. CRoCE AND OTHER SACRIFICES.
The Cistercian Fathers have at length
received orders TO leave Santa CToce, one
of the greatest sactuarics in the world
Soldiers are at present occupying IT, anc
its seems doubtful to what use it is to bt
put. The two orpbasaSes of st. Maria il
Aquiro, and SIS. .Quattro, have likewise
been seized. A sum of two millions has
been voted by the Chamber to make alter
atoms at the Quirinal and to build thu
Royal stables. These are to occupy the
site of the Jesuit Novitiate at st. Andrea
1t is probable that the beautiful church
will be spared, but the house and Qrator1
of St. Stanisiaus is doomed.
ERUPTION OF vEsUvIUs.
The eruption of Vesuvius has come to al
end and it seems that tile loss of life ant
stated. The people are all convinced that
cause of the disaster, and received HIN
with Kisses and imprecatops when he ap
peared among them. 1t is not the tirs
, time that they have attributed to hin
whatever accident befalls them. 49,
