Archbishop Manning and the Vatican.
1t has been stated from Rome within few
months that the Most Rev. Archbishop
Manning, Of Westminster, England. would be
raised to the dignity of Cardinal OF the Church
next June. This has been again denied, either n,
tot0 or the time OF his elevation said to be vastly
premature. The opinion In clerical circles up to
recent period was that he would not have the
nat. The reasons assigned for his presumed ex-
clusion were, rst that 1t against precedent to
advance a convert to the purple; second, that the
amount OF favor and promotion which mad already
visited him caused q very considerable degree Of
jealousy IN the Roman court and the population
or the vatican; third, it was believed at Rome
that the relations between the Archbishop and
mis- bishops are not very pleasant and cordial.
On the other hand, 1t Is unquestonable that he
was not only very jealous but very useful at the
time of the Ecumenical Council. Nevertheless,
the prevalent idea was that he would not be re-
'warded with the highest rank in the hierarchy OF
the Church. But his recent speech on the de-
Imands ana rights and position OF the Church in
Europe, ara his scathlng expose OF Blsmarck's
policy towards the German cpscopacy as con-
trasted with tue freedom which religion enjoys in
Great Britain and America, are considered to have
merited the greatest gratitude OF the Universal
Church and Of the Roman Curia in particular, and
It is unquestionable that the chances OF his adj
vancemcnt to the cardlnalate are spoken OF now
An o very different tone from that in which they
were discussed short time ago.

The moderns have again taken possession of the
home of high comedy, and theatre.goers are, we
fear, likely to regret the ancients Central
Park" MIR. Walack's five act comic performance
was revived after a sleep of four years, and
crowded house attended to witness the awaken
ing. The audience laughed at the broad comlcaty
of some of the scenes. and we suppose they really
enjoyed them and. after all that is the chief matter
from the managerial point OF view. But we confess
TO feeling Of regret to see so much good acting
wasted; for 1t was the acting rather tnan the play
which interested the house. Mr.. Gilbert was the
same testy, jealous old gentleman that he always
Is, and it was pity 10 take nim from the atmOs
phere OF the Mall, where he thrlves like a natural
production OF the soil, to graft him on a foreign
root in Central Park, where he is out Of keeping
with the surroundings. Mr.. Walack has a natural
connection with Central Park, and he fitted in
among the moderns better than his associate
artist, and broke hearts and jokes in the most ap-
proved modern fashion. Miss Ellie GermOn sup
ported the role OF the jealous vile with her usual
ability. The farcical incidents OF the "drama,"
were well received by the audience and so long
as they are pleased "Central Park' will keep the
boards.
