Most Holy Father,

We your devoted and loving children,
the Bishop, Priests and Faithful of the
Diocese of RoSeau, though far distant,
still it was not without grief and indigna-
ton that we heard of the awful crime and
insult perpetrated within the walls of the
Holy City, and on the remains of your
Illustrious and Sainted Predecessor, Plus
TX, of holy memory.
On the remains of Him, who ruled so pa.
ternally and benignly, for the long years of
His glorious POntificate. Whose first
deeds, on ascending the throne, were those
dictated by Charity and Love. And what
were they? To throw open the Prison
doors, to strike off the captives' chain, and
recall to their hearths and homes, those
who for their ~disloyalty and crimes were
banished therefrom, and as if to a%ggravate
the insult, those deeds Of violence were
perpetrated under the eyes of a Govern
ment that bears the name of Catholic
and Christian.
What does all this prove, Most Holy
Father? it exposes before the world the
worthlessness of the Guarantees, the dan
ger to which your Holiness should be
exposed, were you to appear in the pre-
sence of such cowardly and fendish mis-
c~reants, and that you enjoy not that liber-
ty so needful for the Sovereign Pontiff in
his relations with the Catholic world.
Neither the liberty of your temporal
Sovereignty, hereditary and consecrated
as such by the lapse of ages.
Under these circumstances, Most Holy
Father, it is that we humbly PROSTATE
ourselves at the feet Of your Holiness,
and tender our heartfelt ~SymrathieS.
Loudly do we protest against and condemn
the sacriligeous deed of those evil-minded
men, the insult offered to your Holiness,
and the injustice of the Authorities who
closed their eyes to those deeds of violence
and crime. Ind whilst we do this, we at
the same time, Most Holy Father, beg to
give expression to our sentiments of
Loyalty, Obedience and devotedness to
the Chair of st. Peter and its present Illus
trious occupant, and we pray that He
for long, long years. to come may still be
seated thereon. That a good and merci-
fu Lord in his own due time will hasten

MI SCELLA NEOUS
From the Spectator.)

The Austrian Poster Lloyd openly
advocates the annexation OF Herze-
govina and Bosnia, asserting, truly
enough, that the o%stentatious pre-
tence of occupation deceiyes no
one =" Paciication, that is to say,
the satisfaction Of the people with
the new order of things, has not yet
been secured. Serious discomfort
is prevalent amongst the MussuI-
mans. We are pledged to Europe
to give them a good administration.
W HON do we deceive with the word
occupation?' Is it ourselves ?
There is not q man of sound mind
in Austria or l1un2a airy who was not
long since aware that the occu-
patton was annexation nor one
who would not energeticaIly protest
against our ever abandoning the
soil where the bones of our soldiers
lie buried, and for the benefit of
which we have spent millions.
Then can it be Europe! 1t is, un-
IoItullhtIlyJ 'Iuc llldt StFtIdI Au'O-

and tie %resolute character of our
proceedings. l. it Turkey? Well,
she knows hest that every inch Of
territory once withdrawn from the
rule of her fashas is irretrievably
lost for her, and that she has as lit
tie or even less to e. pect in Bosnia
and the Herzegovina than in Cyprus
and Tunis. There being no further
doubt as to our intentions, it is only
weakness to keep up the erroneous
term any longer" We entirely agree,
but will annexation improve the
matter? We fear not. The fault
of Austrian rule is that totally inc
lastic officialism which seems Who'll
Iy unuLle to adapt itself to the ge-
MUS Of Il different people. Will
that be likely to relax, under the
stimulus of a more absolute sense
Of possession?

Lord Harrington gave q satisfactory
reply on Monday to Mr.. Onslow's question
whether the Viceroy wished to grant
fresh supplies to Abdul Rahman or whe-
Their, if the Viceroy had not made any
such application, the Home Government
would propose it. II have to say" he
answered, "that although re have been
in constant communication with the Vice
roy of india on the subject of the state of
affairs in AfghaniStan, we have received
no information whatever to the effect that
Abdul Rahman has made any application
either for money, arms, or ammunition.
80 far as we are aware. it is not the inten-
ton of the Government of India to inter
fere in any way in the contest now pro.
ceeding between abdul Rahman Khan and
Ayoob Khan" Of course, that virtually
answered the question as to whether the
Home Government intended to urge such
q policy on the Viceroy. If it had
been the intention of the Home Govern
ment to urge such a policy on the Viceroy,
they would have some reason to expect
that the Viceroy might adopt that view.
AS they do not expect him to adopt it, it is
clear that they do not mean to prompt him
in the matter.

.patience,n Last Evening.

A large and fashionable audience
assembled in the Opera House last
evening to witness the first perfor.
nance IN this city of Gilbert 6 Sulli-
vans latest opera entitled "Pati-
ence," by Charles E. Ford's Opera
Company. Patience" is an opera
that will take some time to bring in>
to as great prominence as "Pina.
fore" or the Pirates of Penzance,o
although the authors;have to some
extent followed the music in both Of
the last named operas.
In selecting the company to pre>
sent the operas Mr.. Ford, has done
himself credit. The leading members
are all good singers. 1t
was written as a satire on the
aesthetic taste of certain class Of
Englishmen, led by Oscar Wilde, a
friend of the Prince of Wales. As a
satire it is a success, but there seems
to be something lacking in the opera
TO make it taking, one of these lacks
ing ingredients being the absence of
pretty solos land duets, although it
is not devoid of them still those that
it does contain do not "catch'' with
the majority of the audience. The
first.act is rather tame, and seemed
last evening to create but very little
enthusiasm as also the choristers
The second act is much better being
ludicrous, and amusing, while the
libretto is more exhilirating IN its
tone, and called forth more applause
than did the first act. As In the other
operas written by the same authors
the music is light, and the plat rath-
er vague. 1t will no doubt be sue.
cessful during the season. There is
not "stick" to be found among
the whole company.
This evening will be presented for
the first time in this city, the comic
opera Of "Billee Taylor" the only
genuine rival to "Pinafore."

Malicious Mischief.

On Sunday afternoon last, Il. A.
Harrison, of the firm of Harrison &
Bennett, butchers. No. Alb King
street, accompanied by DIR. Scott, vet
erenary surgeon, drove out to the resi-
dence of Levi Garrett for the purpose
of seeing a sick horse. Mr.. Harrison
bitched his horse to hitching post in
the road, and went into the stable
where the sick horse was. While in
there a carriage drove past, and DIR.
Scott seeing it, called Mr.. Harrison's
attention to the fact that some one
was driving his horse off. The man
drove the animal at rapid gait up
the road leading to Hartmann q Fehe
renbach's brewery, and upon arriving
in front of the brewery, stopped and
throwing the reins over the dashboard,
Jumped out of the carriage and disap-
peared. Mr.. Harrison, who was in
pursuit, came up and secured his
team.
While driving home they met the
man, and stopping, Mr.. Harrison left
the carriage and going up to him asked
him why he had driven the team OIL.
The man replied "Just for devils
ment." This reply so angered MIR. Ii.
that he was about to strike him, but
was prevailed upon not to do SO by DR..
Scott. He took the man in custody
and handed him over to policeman,
who stated to Mr.. Harrison that the
man was industrious, and that being
under the influence of liquor probably
did not know what he was doing. Mr..

A GREAT GUN.
Successful Casting of Monster
Accelerattng Cannon.
READING, Pa, Oct. 26, 1881.

READING, Pa, Oct. 26, 1881.
The casting of great cannon, twenty
five feet in length, at the Scott Works
of the Reading Iron Company, in this
city, this afternoon, attracted quito a
number OF scientists, patentees and
ordnance officers frem New York and
Philadelphia. They came here by invita-
tion of the New York patentees, and
after brief entertainment the visiting
party, numbering about twenty five,
together with the officials of the company
and invited local guests, proceeded to
the works. On their arrival they found
two large reverberating furnaces charged
with about 10000 pounds OF metal.
Fronting the furnaces was a deep pit,
which contained the mould for the great
gun, standing upright ready to receive
the molten metal. The flask or moal1
had two openings at The top TO receive
the fluid iron. At three o'clock the
furnaces were simultaneously tapped.
The fiery metal from one ran through
an iron trough lined with hard clay
while the metal from the other furnace
ran into an eleven ton ,ladle, with
which IL was poured into the flask. The
mould was filled from the bottom, and
by the careful pouring it evenly ascen-
ded to the top. In six minutes the flask
was full.
WHAT Is CLAIMED FOR THE GUN.
The casting, so far as is known, was
successfully accomplished. 1t will
remain as it is at present for eight or
ten days and possibly longer, when it
will have sufficiently cooled to be
raised TO the surface and taken to the
machine shops of the company to be
finished. 1t will then be removed to
Sandy Hook, N. j., to be officially
tried. This gun is known as the Ly-
mann Haskell accelerating, or multi
charge cannon. 1t is six inch bore,
and along the bore are four additional
chambers for powder, the latter being
successfully discharged after tho inl-
tial charge of powder in the chamber
has been fired. 1t is calculated that
1870 pounds of powder will throw
solid iron projectile weighing $50
pounds at least ten miles, and that 1t
will go through solid mass of
wrought iron nearly two feet thick
The Inventor claims that twenty-inch
acceleratlng gun Is lfreslstlple, lar
eclipsing the celebrated 100-ton Arm-
strong gun made for the Italian gov
ernment. The pockets are loaded In
the same manner as breech-loader,
each pocket to contain twenty-eight
pounds of powder. The chamber is TO
contain eighteen pounds. A velocity
of d, 900 feet per second is claimed as
attainable with the new gun.
