The Populations and visits to the Holy
Father this last week have been almost in
Vulnerable. His Holiness is in vigorous
health, and threw away his stick In the
garden the other day with comic energy and
walks away as il he were younger by at
least twenty years. Indeed q prelate lit

DONNA ISABELLA II.
Donna Isabella IT,, ex.Queen Of Spain,
left Rome on Wednesday. the 25th. o.
Sunday, the 22d, the Pope administered
the Sacrament of Confirmation, and their
first Communion, to her three youngest
daughters, the Infantas Maria Berengaria,
Maria Juana, and Maria EulaIia. Her Ma
jesty, her eldest daughter (the Countess of
Girenti), the three young Princesses, the
godrnothers, and all the suite, received
Holy Communion from the hands of the
Holy Father. During their stay in Rome
they visited, as far as time would allow,
all the basilicas, principal churches, mu-
THE'HoLr FATHER AND THE JEWS.
1t is well known that all the Infilel and
so called Liberal press in Italy is ia the
hands of the Jews, which in some degree
accounts for its general hostility to Chris
tianity. For Instance Jacob Dina, a Jew

Govern Tent, and if not official, they have
all been the organs of official ideas 1t is
universally known that no Poutiff up to
the time of Plus TX. ever treated the jews
with SO much indulgence, and it is certain
no Pontif has ever been 80 much insulted
feelings towards them are a proof of his
lnexhausti6le charity. Last Friday the
brothers Lemann, converted Jews, now
priests of the diocese of Lyons, were re.
ceived in audience by his Holiness, who on
seeing them exclaimed, "Ah, my sons,
come here, let us talk about the Israelites."
" Holy Father" said one of the brothers,
Your Holiness, in one of your admirable
discourses, said a little while ago: I'VE
should PROSTATE ourselves before God, as
Jacob bowed himself before Isaac and we,
the sons of Jacob, come to bow ourselves
before you who represent to US Isaac, who
was the figure of Christ: All that is true,'
said his Holiness, 'and l bless you as Isaac
did; but thank God the Pope is not blind as
as Isaac was, and the Pope is not sick; your
visit gives me much pleasure, my sons,
because in these latter times the Israeliies
of Rome have given me much sorrow and
affilction. They direct against me and
against the Church all the bad journals of
Rome. yes, Holy Father was the reply,
Many Israelites mixed up with the Revo-
lutionary movement resemble, at this
moment, st. Paul who went up to Damas-
Gus to persecute the infant Church. They
will fall from their horses but
(he added after a moments pause and in
a gentle voice. let us pray for the poor
Israeites, that they may be made partak-
ers in the triumph of the Church" and
proceeded to recite in q very earnest maner
the Collect of the Church on Good Friday.
