BRIEF BIOGRAPHY.
Victor Emanuel was born March IA,
1920. and was formerly King Of Sardinia.
On account Of the liberal measures Of Ca.
your (his Sandman Minister) which as.
sailed the hitherto privileges Of the
Clergy, secularized The property Of the
Church, and took from The religious as.
sociations the monopoly Of education, he
was excommunicated by the Pope, 10 re.
ply 10 which he issued a pro-
lest. When he lost within a
brief period his mother, his wife,
his brother, and bis youngest child, and
himself fell dangerously III, the Ultra
montanes saw in these misiortunes a
proof Of the anger Of Heaven. After the
revolution under Garibaldi, by which he
became King Of Italy, he became master
Of the whole Of that country except the
government Of Venice and the immediate
territory around Rome. Subsequently
Rome was made the Capital and the seat
of government transferred there. Hehad
Eve children, one Of whom is Clotilda,
wife Of Prince Jerome Napoleon, cousin
Of the late Emperor, and another Of
whom Is Amadeus, for awhile King Of
Spain.
A dispatch from Rome says that the
King received the consultations Of reli.
gion before his death," from which 1t is
to be presumed that the sentence Of ex.
communication passed upon him was
lifted by order Of church authority.
