CARDINAL HOHENLoHE.
Nest Liberal Member of h
Sacred College.

With Cardinal Hohen1ohe disappears.
1T is stated, the most liberal member of
the Sacred College. The late Cardinal
had been seriously i'll for a month at his
splendid and historical house, the villa
d'Este, at Tivoli. but by medical advice
he returned to Rome, where he was bet
ter. Three weeks ago he was invited to
dinner by M. Gianturco, the Minister of
Public Instruction. The deceased prelate
was created Cardinal in 1866, and, together
with his elder brother, the German Cham
celior, strongly opposed the PRONUNCIATION
of the. dogmas OF the immaculate concep-
ton and the infailibility of the Pope.
This rendered him unpopular at the yati-
can. o
Pious TX. called him the Cardinal of
the three HIS there being that number
in his name; also, contemptuously, The
Flute-player." He was equally distrusted
by Leo Kill, who regarded him as dan
g%erously liberal, The news of the Cardi-
nafs death came quite unexpectedly to
tne German Chancellor, who had not the
slightest idea that his brother had been
Ill or even indispose6.
Inough a priest from the age of TWEEN
ty-slx and for thirty years a Cardinal.
Prince Hohenlohe remained to the end
OF his 0 life a thorough man of the
world; nor did his residence in Rome and
ms relations with the Vatican at ali
weaken his sturdy German patriotism.
ae was genlai llght-hearted and hespita-
pie. without the slightest pretension to
ascetcism or OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. Those
VINO enjoyed the privilege of visiting him
n MS lofty apartment in Santa Maria
Maggiore or in the big Paiazzo d'Este at
Albano We're always delighted with the
charm of his conversation.
