beginning OF the troubles Of his Pontiacate car
dnal in the College or the Propagands had foretod
that aid and consolation would come to the
Holy See from the fatthful children Of the American
Church, and shirty PEARS experience has' con.
nrmed the truth Of this prophesy. He dwet at
length on the wonderful progress which the Catho-
lie Church in America had made.
ADVICE TO THE FAITHFUL.
His Holiness said that nations, like individuals,
had youth, manhood and old age; and now
America was in the enjoyment Of vigor.
Gus youth that was alarming the nations
Of the Old World. America enjoyed many ad.
fects natural to youth, as rashness, materiasm
and an excess Of independence. His Holiness re-
commended the faithful to subordinate their ma
teral interests to their spiritual welfare and the
submissive to divine law. When Ills Holiness ut
tered this sentiment there was very audible mur.

BLOWN Up BY BRrGASDs.
That special product of sunny Italy, the brigand
still nourishes. Is shown by characteristic incl
dent. Signor Rizzl, Chief Inspector OF Police at
Lercara, showed much frmness against the brlgands
at the time OF the capture OF Mr.. Rose, an English
subject. On the night OF the 18th inst. sgnor
Rlzzi's house was destroyed by an explosion OF
gunpowder Himself, his wife and two sons es-
capped alive, though severely hurt The house had
been secretly undermined.
BISMARCK At woIY.
The great German Chancellor suddenly recovered
from bis indisposltion when he learned the blunder
which MacMahon and his reactionary advisers had
made. The German statesman has long been
watching for an excuse TO crush France before
she had completed her military reorganization.

TO use MacNahon's unwise coup d'etas as m
excuse to impose further humiliation on
France, and even to make 1t an excuse TO

inevitable. Should they attack France under
