If there are any French or American survivors In this coun? try belong'ng to tho force of Zouaves th.it fought so bravo ly at th" battle of Eolgny in 1870, un? der the late General Baron de Charette, they will be Interested to learn thRt since the general's death, the Banner of the Sacred Heart, tinder which thev were recruited for the war against Germany?mainly from the disbanded regiments of Pontifical Zouaves?is now in thd keeping of the senior sur? viving officer of "Charette's Volun? teers of the West," the Breton Com to de Couossln, who Is likewise a vet? eran of the war In defense of tho Holy See. As such. the Comtn do Couessln took part In the battle of Montana in 1S<!7, whore the Papal Zouaves, composed principally of French gentlemen, so distinguished themselves under Charette's command that they signally defeated the Garlbaldlans. Ho wears among other decorations the Montana Cross, bestowed by Pius IX. In recognition of this victory. Oswald Vavasour Clement Vanslttart, Clovls Bevenot, and Captain Bartlc Teellng, are among the few pos.'essors of this cross, while Lord Camoys's uncle, the lute Archbishop Stonor, and the late Bishop Goreion, S.

Count Camlllo Peccl. nephew of His Holiness, the Pope, Is, as those who have taken the trouble te> follow his somewhat stormy enreer must realize, not altogether reliable, ami the Inter? view printed In last Sunday's cable dispatches from Rome. In which he as? serts that I.eo XIII, visited his native town of Cnrplneto no less than three times after his elevation to the Holy See. must he received with u consid? erable amount of caution. Pope Boo XIII, had very strongly marked fea? tures, which were very familiar in Rome, at Carplneto. and all along the railroad line between the two places, so under tho circumstances the Idea that ho could have undertaken this Journey three times by rail, undiscov? ered, It was befon: the days of the motor car. la preposterous. What is true, however, Is that the late Popo left the Vatican on the night following his election, and drove to the Falconlerl Palace. In the Via Gln lla. r.ear the Tiber, whoro he had re? sided until that time. He had so little expected to be elected at the Conclave of 1S7S. that he had left all his most valuable papers and documents locked up In a safe In the desk of his apart? ments there. So he went himself to Patch them, and after spending an hour putting them together returned to the Vatican, never to leave It again, not even to visit his dying brother. Tho Falconlerl Palace, now in a bid state of r-epulr. and which in the early part of the nineteenth century was the home of Cardinal Fesch, who played so great a role during the reign of his nephew, the first Napoleon, Is still the subject of an Interminable lawsuit, which has been going on for more than half a century. When Us last owner in the direct line, namely, Don Orazlo Kalconleri. died In 1S49, It passed Into the possession of Cardinal Falconlerl. Archbishop of Ravenna, and when he. In turn died not lonii afterwards, ho bequeathed the palace and his fortune of $1,'.'50,000 to the church. Very re? mote relatives living In Sicily put for? ward pretensions to the property, which. Including the palace and es? tates outsido of Rome, was t.old by tho church to Count Eulgl Oarpegnu. The original Sicilian claimant Is long since dead, but the proceedings against the Carpegnas havo been continued In turn by his sor.a and grandsons, though their connection with tho direct Fal? conlerl lino Is so remote that tt is necessary to go back hundreds of years, prior, indeed, to the date of the build? ing of the Falconlerl Palace, tn orilc-r to Und lt. and there Is small chance I of their winning their case. In the meantime they havo lodged a protest against the beatification and possible , canonization of Plus IX., on the ground that by accepting in behalf of tho I church the bequest of Cardinal Fal? conlerl. he had deprived them of their rightful Inheritance.
