people to order, and said the Piedmon-
tese government at Rome, the anti
christian d'POzar court at Berlin, and
the wild communades at Madrid are
filed with fear at the awakening of
Catholic France. Now that the wretched
Thiers Is gone, all moves well. McMa-
hon is prudent and loves France. "The
future" said Eugene, "is ours, and
France viii lead the reaction against
forces which have seemed to threaten
the existence of society and religion
throughout Europe She saw in the
future that FUance again will be at
the head Of nations, the rob
Ders driven out of Rome, the pope re-
stored, Germany divided into harmless
states and Austria again strong.
