dared "a vet toraise their heads knowing, as
they must do if there be any OF them, that
they would never have the ghost OF a
chance in fight with that eminent prelate
But still the enemies of tho Church are al
ways sure of having numerical majority
on their side in a country in which the Ca
thoIics are comparatively weak in numbers
being only twenty-seven per cent OF the
population of the whole grand duc1y,
province. Thus, while afraid to strike
direct blow at it's stronghold, they have de-
ternined On attacking it by turning
movement, and to this effect they have now
raised their faverite batttle-cry Of - nom
sectarian education" An act has lately !
passed the Lower House of the Legisla-
ture for removing all religious orders from
the schools. by virtue of which the Fog
lish ladies " and tue Brethren of the Chrls-
tan Doctrine are henceforth to be pronio-
iteti from teaching. BY hurrying this law
through the second chamber, the Liber-
ais" thou ght of stealing march upon their
opponents but they have been Woefuly
deceived. The Catholics of Rhineland
have risen to man to elude TINS llt1le
game, aud show up the machinations OF
Bismarck's admirers in their true colors.
On the 4th inst. mass meeting was held at
Mayence, when the large hall of the Cath
olic "Casino" was filed to OVERLOOKING |
with an enthusiastic audience, and petit
ton to the Upper House was adopted ny
reclamation against this wanton attack on
" the time honored right Of the clergy TO
manage the education of the Catholic
YOUTH" This appeal will doubtless be lis
tened to by the first chamber where the
| Conservative element is not swamped by
the followers of Hoffmann-the FAX OF
Hesse-as it is in the Lower House and
everything leads us to believe that the
privileges of the Catholics will remain I'M
disturbed in the end.
ITALY
Italy is establishing for herself quite o
military prestige. Since the " Decline and
Fall of tue Roman Empire " the people OF
the Peninsula have not been remarkable as
warriors. But they are changing all tnat.
At the present moment they are combating
most valiantly, horse and foot, against the
invasion of the army of pilgrims That VIC
