The Italian Clergy.

The Italian Bishops are now for the
most part mere creatures of the Jesults.
They are utterly destitute of personal
initiative, and are seldom gifted with
either talent or learning. The inferior
clergy are ut once poor and Ignorant.
Widely different is the Roman Catholic
hierarchy and clergy, taken as body,
in England or France or Germany.
There we see prclatcs of ability, energy
and crudition, lahoring with untimns
zeal for the domination of their church.

The incumbent of y parish Ill large
Italian town when his Pensioners
present a mixture of Clericals, Liberals
and old noble familieS--plays the part
of a dextcrous diplomast on all political
questions. When he can only count on
an element of fanaticism, he plays the
part of fanatic. He is liberal IN
the Venetian, Lombard. Genoese and
Piedmontese provinces, those in which
the Pope recognizes as legitimate the
sovereignty OF Humbert ]. In the
country districts he commonly reflects
in the views of the wealthiest of the
neighboring landowners. Ii his Squire
is an out and out Clerical, he too is an
out-and-out clerical. If his Squire is
a decided Liberal. above all if he is one
who often asks his parish priest to dim
her. the parish priest has extremely lib
eral views. and beneath the generous in
tluence of his hosts Chianti or Barolo,
will keep the table in roar by telling
good stories AS to the way in which the
more skeptical aud satirical of his par
ishoners are in the habit of treating the
doCmas of HOLY Mother Church. 1t is
not uncommon to find the parish priest
shy in speaking of politics at all, but it
is very uncommon to find him preach
ing openly from his pulpit against the
government. The parish priests, with
few exceptions, are extremely ignorant.
and this general state Of ignorance in
the working clergy is cause of con-
slant and unfeigned anxiety to the pres

made in the intellectual and moral con-
dition of the Italian parish priests since

shortly after his accession, said to Mas

are mere dirt" (Fango.) 1t is a mel
ancholy fact, which must suggest most
painful reflections to all who are really
in the moral and religious
welfare of Italy, that the parish priest
generally stands in the scale of informa-
ton and character below the mounted
carabineer or ordinary tax-collector of
his district; and no surprise need be
felt if this state of matters so deeply

"Haverly's Mastodon Minstrels attracted one

singing of the California qnartette was a
feature, while the jokes and sayings of the

mirth- provoking. The clog dancing of
twelve took the house by storm, and every
