ILTIN FROM ROME.
A SPEECH OF TUE HOLY FATHER.
Roxu, Oct. 5.-A deputation of the Cath
olic Young Men's Society of the Immaculate
:onception went the other day to offer
heir homage to the Vicar of Our Lord. It
ncluded Canon Bartolonl, editor of the
"oma; Antologia Illustrata, the Marquis
Ladrea Lezzssani, Signor Joseph Lezzani,
ount Joseph Barbiellini, and Signor Lupi
lebastiani, etc. The Marquis Lezzani read
he address; after which his Holiness, who
coupled the throne in the Salla del Irono,
epited to the following effect: "I have
ead in certain journals-not in the LTnita
'attolica, nor in any Catholic paper, but in
ertain revolutionary organs, for, as you
:now, I am condemned to read the bad
tapers as well as the good ones-I have
ead, I say, that they now mean to get the
stire possession of Rome, so as to restore
'aganism here again just as it existed in
he days of Nero or Augustus. And as they
Enow that they cannot carry out such a
lIan as long as the Pope stays at Rome,
herefore those men of the Siecle want to
trive the Pope out. Thanks be to God,
hey will be prevented from accomplishing
heir design. It is by the prayers of the
:atholics that such a calamity will be
Rarded oif The Lord has placed at Rome
,he See of His Vicar on earth; and He will
lot allow the destination of this city to be
to changed. Old Rome, the Rome of the
Emperors, is really fallen : all that is left
,f it is merely a few columns and a few
itatues, which people dig up here and there
imongst the ruins. But you may be quite
lure that it will be impossible to pull down
:he Rome that is now; namely Christian
Rome.
" Do you, then, my children, pray, pray
:onstantly, for the Church. Before I leave
you, I wish to give you my blessing; and
,he blessing of Christ's Vicar, unworthy as
be may be-has its value. I therefore
bless you and your families : I bless your
labors and your hopes and your future.
Benedictio Dei, etc."
TIIHE FEAST OF TIlE PLEBISCITE.
On the anniversary day of the sham pop
ular vote that gave Rome to the Sabalpine
usurpation, a demonstration of loyalty to
the Pope was made by many friends of the
cause who assembled at the Vatican.
ANOTHER SCANDAL.
The Sindaeo of Rome, Signor Pianciani,
is a devoted partizan of the present usur
pation and a bitter enemy of the Catholics.
le is all the more so because he is an apos
tate. Pianciani once wore the soutane,
and aspired to be a Roman prelate. The
other day he sent orders to the Religious
men and Sisters who teach the schools at
the Baths of Diocletian to attend at a dis
tribution of school prizes that was to take
place at the Capitol. He well knew that
they could not come. All their principles
-nay, even common decency-the pro
ceedings that were to take place, the songs
that were to be sung, the speeches that
were to be delivered, made it utterly im
possible for Religious to show themselves
on such an occasion. Pianciani, however,
affeeted to be indignant at their refusal,
and denounced clerical ignorance and nar
row-mindedness. He at once decreed the
immediate expulsion of all the Religious
from the convents which they occupied.
Next day, the Syndic's agents came to the
convents, and informed the Monks and the
Sisters that they must be turned out forth
with. The Brothers had one hour allowed
them to prepare for leaving their homes ;
the Sisters were indulged with two hours.
There were affecting scenes amongst the
girls of the Nuns' schools. The children
clung to their good mistresses and cried
violently at the parting. The secular mis
tresses, who came in worldly fashionable
attire to take the place of the Nuns, tried
to pacify the girls, but in vain. The Sis
ters, twenty-four in number, have received
a temporary shelter in the Monastery of
St. Hubert; the Brothers have been taken
into the establishment of the Borgo, which
belongs to the Pope.
THE ARMENIAN CIIURCI.
News has arrived from Constantinople
that the Porte has come to the determi
nation to recognize the Catholic Armenians
as a distinct religious community from that
under the governance of Mgr Kupelian, the
neo-schismatic. The Catholics, ate, ther,
fore, to be re-instated in their right., nod
nothing of the question now remains save
the settlement of matters of det il. Tihe
band of France is said to be perc tible in
this improved state of afftire.
THE POPE'S PRELATES.
A circumstance happened on the occa
sion of their reception which shows how
vigorous the memory of the Holy Father
still is. Amongst those whom the Marqais
Lezzani presented to the Pope was the
Canon Bartoloni, who, many years ago
preached a course of sermons in the Church
of the Carthusian Monks, near the Baths of
Diocletian, of which heas Pius IX., was an
auditor. When the Pope saw Padre Bar
toloni he immediately addressed him in the
kindest manner, saying : " Ah, Father
Bartoloni, I know you: I once heard you
preach at the Carthusian Church, on the
Feast of St. Bernard." The members of
the deputation were all delighted at this
epalrecognition of one of their members
by the Holy Father.
THE PLEBISCITE ANNIVERSARY.
The festival of the Plebiscit was observ
d at Rome with very scanty demonstra
ons of public rejoicings. A few flags and
illumination of the Corso were all the
utwatt signs of festivity. The Voce della
arit, says that the state of the country is
ery alarming in some of the provinces.
urders and robberies are frightfully on
e increase, and the police seem powerless
provide for " Is publica sicurezza." At
errara/a stronghbld of the "regenera
ors" of Italy, a whole family had been
urdered by robbers. In another house,
respectable man was found with his
roat cut. Two of the police in going their
unds, were set upon and butchered with
ives. One of the chief banks in thq
ty, in a central position, was entered and
bbed by bandits at 2 p. . There have
so been many incendiary fires, and no
y has been arrested. Onemight almost
y that ruffianism reigns unchecked at
errara.
DEPUTATION FROM CIVITA VECCXIA.
On the 25th ultimo, the Holy Father re
lped epatationfro Civlta Veochia,
restal the "&e for be Promo
Whla
marking on the chequered existence of
man upon this earth-how our life is made
up of an alternation of joy and sorrow,
weal and woe, success and disappointment,
the Holy Father went on to say :
Nevertheless, let as trust in God. You see
how many subjects of bitterness come in
upon us from Italy, from Germany, from
Switzerland, and other kingdoms and pro- t
vinces, where so many men are banding
together to afflict the Church. Now, I do t
not tell you that all these evils will soon
pass away; I no not tell you that we are I
on the eve of delivolance and of triumph ;
but I do tell you that God will surely
show Himself, although I know not the
moment when He will work the miracle."
The Holy Father then dwelt upon the im- t
portanco of the early education of children
in religion ; and, in reference to the nu
merons audience of ladies before him,
spoke of the duties of Christian mothers.
Then, goingback to the state of Christen
dom, he said:--" One of the most noted in
fidels of the last century recommended
that the last king should be strangled with
the entrails of the last priest. In our day
the infidels do not use this language, but t
they are doing their best to turn the words t
into facts, and they who call themselves
moderates allow themselves to be led on
wards, and they would put into execution
if Almighty God permitted them. Men
walk resolutely in the paths of inequity ;
and the clergy are the object of hatred in
Italy as well as in certain countries of the
North of Europe, where the Government is
invading the office of the Bishops, punish- *
ing the good and rewarding the wicked,
especially those who cast off the easy yoke
of the Church and voluntarily put on the
fetters of a human ruler, who will bear
heavily upon them with his iron hand."
The Pope then went on to speak of tirhe
Italian Government's prohibition of the
pilgrimages, under pretence of danger of r
cholera infection.; contrasting that pre
tence with the liberty allowed to vast
multitudes in cities to assemble in theatres
where blasphemous and licentious per
formances were permitted, nay, encouraged
by the Government, " All," said the au
gust speaker, 1" is done against God ; all
is done for the devil." The discourse con
eluded thus : " I exhort you all to practice
courage, firmness, and constancy, oppose
everything that conscience condemns. Lift
up your eyes to heaven; implore the Di
vine succor, and you shall bear a voice
saying : " F'ear not them cwho kill the body,
yet cannot kill the soul; but fear, rather,
Ilim rho can destroy both soul and body."
London Tablet.
The London HomemsRulers and the General Election.
The Home Rule London Election Com
mittee has agreed upon an address to the
Irish electors of the London Metropolitan
constituencies. It states : "There are ten
contituencies in this metropolis, and they
send twenty-two members to parliament. In
each of these constituencies the Irish vote
now on the register offers us a most en
couraging basis for future operations, as
may be learned from the following :-Lam
beth, out of 36,784 on the register has.
4500 Irish voters; Marylebone, out of
35,576, 5000: Chelsea, out of 17,408, 4,500;
Greenwich, of 38,311, 3000; Southwark,
out of 19,416; 4500 ; Tower Hamlets, out
of 32,546, 6000 ; Westminster, out of 17,
408, 3500; and the City of London, out of
20,185, 3000. The total number of the
electorial votes of the metropolis was 268,
$06, and of these the approximate estimate
of the number of Irish electors was 44,000.
This shows how great a power the Irish
electors are in the metropolis of England.
Therefore it was stated that a definite
policy should be laid out for them, so that
at the day of reckoning they might know
whom to support and whom to reject."
The address then goes on to say, " An
opportunity has at length arrived when
we may materially contribute to the estab
lishment of the parliamentary indepen
dence of Ireland. Soon there will be a
general election throughout this realm.
Irishmen scattered throughout Great Bri
tain and especially those resident in Lon
don, can in many places, by their united
votes, return to parliament members pledg
ed to restore to Ireland hlit full parliamen
tary powers, The Irish vote, if properly
directed, may decide many an election.
We are now a power in England and Scot
land. The Irish vote will be required at
almost every polling booth. Let us take
exampl'e from the English pohiticiaos.
Our duty is plain. It is to support such
candidates as pledge themselves in writing
to vote for the restoration of a par:iament
to Ireland and the release of the political
prisoners. It has been proved by the late
commission sent to Ireland by the English
Laborers' Union that untold and incon
ceivable distress prevails amongst our
people, growing from the land monopoly,
the absentee landlord, the oppressive po
lice. the suspension of the constitution, the
long imprisonment without trial of many
of our countrymen on bae suspicion, and
tihe wretched habitations (of one room
each) in which half a million are obliged
to dwell. No measure of an English par
liament can remedy those sufferings except
the repeal of that Act or Uuion which, in
1800, suppressed our leg-slature, extin
guished our trade, scattered our wealth,
and exiled, and continues to exile, the
bone and muscle of our peasant population.
We therefore call upon you to unite and
make the Irishl vote powerfal in the
borough, and to support, before all ,otlhers,
the candidate who will declare for am
nesty to the Irish political prisoners and
Home Rule for Ireland. I, any borough
where such a candidate is not in thie field
we will nominate a candidate to the con
sttauencies wh're there is a chance of hts
success. We wish to support the advano
ed Liberal party of England, but if they
refuse to us these concessions we advise
ou to allow the Tories to come in, eitllher
y openly supporting them or by splitting
the Liberal interest. We look upon Mr.
Gladstone's cont;onons, and even bitter,
opposition to the release of the pohlitical
prisoners as unworthy a statesman who
stands at the head of the English Govern
ment."
The reporter of a Nashville paper who,
mentioning a young lady's decease, touch
ingly alluded to her as " one of the bright
eat jewels that ever glittered in the diadem
of an earthly home: one of the purest stars
that ever gleamed upon the frontlet of our
social skies: one of the sweetest flowers
that ever bloomed in the garden of earliest

A Plan of State dnesation.
BY PROF. FONTAINI.
[From the Picayune of October 12th ]
Only a brief outline of a plan of State edu
cation, which was elaborated many years ago,
is here presented. It was prepared for the
State of Texas, after a careful examination of 1
the educational systems of Germany, Sweden.,
Denmark, France England, Scotland and of
the New England States, and .presented in
various lectures delivered to the Texas Legis
lature, while I was chaplain of the Senate,
dring different sessions. Its leading features 1
were adopted by the State, and the plan was
working well when I removed from it in 1859,
although its efficiency was somewhat limited
by the incorporation in the plan of some of
the objectionable features of the common
school syetems in operation in theolder States, I
and which, in its incipiency, I could not pre
vent.
It is based upon the following simple a!d
just principles, which adapt it to the condition
of independeut anl enlightened States:
1. It is not the duty of a State to teach reli
gion. The ministers of God, whoever they
may be, are required to teach His truth. A
free State, whose citizens are Jews and Gen
tiles of many sorts of beliefs, as well as Chris
tians who profess 105 various forms of faith,
cannot in its governmental capacity meddle
with their conflicting creeds, or trespass upon
their rights of conscience. Its Legislature
cannot with propriety'decide who are orthodox
teachers, or appoint school boards to deter
mine questions of contraversy argued by a
constituency so variant in their religious
opinions.
2. It is the duty of the State to punish crimi
nals, and to protect all classes of obedient
citizens in their lawful pursuits, in order that
they may support themselves and the Govern
ment which they have established for their
oammton good.
3. No State can be stable and prosperous
whose power is in the hands of uneducated
voters; therefore, a fund sufficient for their
education, and for those whom they elect to
represent them, ought to be provided.
4. If this fund is provided by means of tax
ation, or by the sale of public land or other i
common property, it belongs equally to all of
the citizens of the State and to their heirs
who are the children of the State, each one of
whom is entitled to an equal share of it, or of
the educational benefits of it.
5. Where the dominion of conscience begins,
the civil power of the State should end; it is,
therefore, wrong to force a parent to send a
child to a school whose teaching, or religious,
or moral influence he does not conscientiously
approve.
Supposing that an educational fund sunli
ciently ample is in the public treasury, with
out discussing the mode of accumulating or of
managing it most efficiently, I will consider
the question how it can be utilized so as to
satisfy the judgments and consciences of the
citizens who have paid it for the education of
their children.
Some of those taxed to raise this fond are
Jews who are not willing for their children to
be coerced or allured by any plan of State
education to becoming either Christians or in
fidels. Many of them are Roman Catholics,
who will not have their offspring trained by
those who despise their religion, and who they
fear will endanger their salvation by teaching
what they regard as heresy. Other classes of
citizens belong to organizations of more than
105 different kinds of churches or religious
communities in this Republic, while others are
skeptics and independent free-thinkers, disso
ciated from all the rest. Yet a majority of
this discordant multitude who compose the
body politic termed the State are parents who
desire conscientiously all their offspring to be
educated, patriotic and useful citizens. They
ought to be supposed to be equally scrupulous
in regarding the dictates of their consciences in
relation to their education. It is impious and
tyrannical to coerce them to send their chil
dren where they do not wish them to go to re
ceive their mental and moral training. In ad
dition to the impracticable element of ortho
doxy, which has rendered abortive or very
inefficient all the plans of State education
heretofore tried in the older States, there is
another disturbing cause with which all our
present plans are troubled, especially in what
were the slave States. It is the education of
the children of the emancipated colored peo
ple. It cannot be doubted that they ought to
be educated; and if it is possible for them to
receive it, an education should be given to
them equal to that which is bestowed upon the
white children, for they also are the children
of the State. But many conscientious parents
would suffer the extreme penalty of any de
spotic laws rather than mingle their chil reun
with those of another race in a common school.
I have no time or space to discuss the ques
tion whether a plan of State education should
embrace " mixed schools." The plan here pro
posed will eliminate whatever difficulties in
the way of education they may present, and it
will rid the State eifectually of the task of
meddling with the subject of religion and the
rights of conscience. 1 think it will be accept
able to all classes of our citizens. and be
equally beneficial to all the children of the
Sta:e, no matter what may be their comlplexion
or parentage. I do not fear that any honest
and intelligent citizen will object to it when
he weighs well its imparlial j:stice andl prac
ticability. I um certain that It will be adopt
ed ultimetely by every State in the Union, and
I sincerely hope that the next Legislature will
enact it.
1. The law should requ-ire all minors be
tween the ages of six and twenty-one years to
be registered in the office of the Tieasurer of
the State. The usual limit of' what is termed
the " achola-tic ageo" of tlhese children of the
State is sixteen years. This should be ex
tend.ri. to twenty one, in order that al'ter they
have left the primary andt ucadenic schools,
they msay be aided fromi the fund to complete
their education in sonic State college or luni
versity.
2. BMake it the duty of the Treasurer, in ad
dition to his annual report of the condition of
the finances, to report semii-annually, to the
Governor of the State, the amount of the edu
cational fund, and the proplortion of it to
which each minor or child of the State is en
titled, a hch pro rata share shall be ascertain
ed by dividing the whole sum by the number
of registered childreu, which reports shall be
published.
3. Neither the parents, guardians, nor chil
dren, nor any otner person, shall draw this
fund, or any part of it, from the treasury, ex
cept the teachers of the children. Whenever
any teacher or teachers of any registered child
shall present to the TLreas-,rer, in due form of
law, a certificate, witnessed by the parent or
guardian of the said child, and properly signed
and sealed by any jndn3ial officer legally quali
fled to attest the said certificare, attestintg that
he or she has received instructuion as a acholar
from the said teacher or teaches during the
past year, the Treasurer shall pay to the said
teacher or teachers the portion of the ednca
tional fund to which the said child is entitled,
or so much of it as is due for the edlocational
ser' ices rendered.
It is easy to perceive that this simple plan
is just to all classes, no hatter what may be
their complexions or creeds. It makes every
child a child of the State. Any one of them,
whether white or black, Catholic or Protestant,
Jew or Pagan, can go to any school or college in
the State, and the institution will be paid for
the tuition. If the children do niot go to
school, their part of the fund will be lost to
them; but it will bie uneed by those who are
educated. This will make their education sof
ficiently compulsory. If parents or guardians
do not like the school most convenient on
acount of the creed of the teachers their
mode of Instroction, or the conduet and char
rater of the upsil, b can seend their obil
drnso ear otr,~ b e priva3,t*
or otherwise, white, colored or mixed, which
they may prefer, and the State will pay for
their tuition. This plan will aid every de
serving institution of learning and every I
meritorious teacher in the State; but the
worthless will be abandoned for want of pa- G
tronage. It proposes no sudden or radical II
change in the present common school system,
bt it will grdually improve antil it Is satis
factory. The school buildings now owned by
the State, and the teachers commissioned, may
be employed as they are now, as long as they
are useful. But if the property of the State r
now need for educational purposes should not
be needed yireafter, it may be sold, and the r
proceeds may be applied to increase the fund tl
and lessen taxation. The wisdom of the peso
le can amnold the plan as it many ie necessary.
Its adoption will be anr inestimable benefit.
and it will ieiesnt any collision of educat inal ,.,
plans between crhurch:lid State. o

1bIPORTANT SURGICAL OPERATION IN
CoRx - A young girl, fifteen years old, has
just been dischrarged from the North In
timary after undergoing a surgical opera
tion which was performed in her case, if
not for the first time in Cork, at least for C
the first time with such complete success.
At five years old the child began to suffer L
from white swellings about the right knee,
which occasioned a contraction of the limb,
and made it impossible for her to set her
foot fairly on the ground. In course of
time she suffered so severely from the ma
lady that it was found necessary to place
her in the Infirmary, and on examination
of the limb it was decided that either am
putation should take place or the knee
joint be cut out. -The latter alternative
was chosen, and the rare and difficult
operation was performed with complete
success by Dr. N. J. Hobart, visiting sur
geon to the institution, assisted by the F
usual surgical staff. First, the natural
covering of the knee was laid aside, the
kneecap and joint were then cut out most
skillfully, and the end of the thigh and leg 1
bones having been brought together and
the leg thus straightened, the knee cover
ing was replaced, and the limb bound up. I
It united perfectly, and all disease having S
disappeared, the child row walks with
ease, the slight deficency in the length of'
the limb being made up by the addition of
a thick sole to her boot.--Cork ExIariner.
An English inventor has secured letters
patent for an incombustible paper, and
fire-proofink. Though the paper is not
regarded as absolutely indestructible by
fire of any degree of fierceness, it is yet
claimed that under such circumstances as
fires in houses, factories, or other buildings,
it is "ordinarily incombustible." The
pulp, which is manufactured in the usual
way, is composed of vegitable fibre, one
part; asbestos, two parts; borax, one
tenth part; and alum, two-tenths parts.
These ingredients, having been previously
ground and finely divided, are brought to
the consistency of pulp by the addition of
water in proper proportion. Not only
can writing-paper be thus manufac
tured, but a coarser substance for the bind
ings of books or the inclosing of manu
scripts. The fire-proof ink can be used
either in writing or printing, and is made
according to the following recipe : Grap
hite, finely ground, twenty-two drachms ;
copal, or other resinous gum, twelve
grains; sulphate of iron, two drachms';
tincture of nut-galls, two drachms; and
sulphate of indigo, eight drachms. These
substances are thoroughly mixed and
boiled in water, and the ink thus obtained
is said to be both fire-proof and insoluble
in water. When any other color but
black is desired, the graphite is replaced
by an earthly mineral pigment of the de
sired color.
Moralizing on the recent " financial panic"
in Wall street, the Nation says: " If a Roman
or a man of the middle ages had been sudden
ly broughb into view of the scene, ho would
have concluded, without hesitation, that a
rutlhless invader was coming down the island;
that his advanced guard was momentarily ex
pectedi; and that anybody found by his forces
in possession of Western Union, or Harlem, or
Lake Shore, or any other paying stock tr
bonds, would be subjected to cruel tortures, if
not put to death. For neither Roman nor me
dia-val could understand a rich man's being
terrified by anything but armed violence. Sua
eca enumerates, as the three great sources of
anxiety in life, the fear of want, of disease
and of oppression by the powerlul' If he had
seen Wall street brokers and bankers last week
trying to get rid of stocks and bonis, lie
would, of c,inrse, have supposed that they
were not poor or feared poverty; he wonth have
judged from their physical acti7ity rbat they
were in perfect health, so he would have been
driven to the conclusion that sonme barbaiian
host, commanded by Sittimng Bull or Red Cloud,
was enteriug the city, and was breathing out
threatenings and slaughter against the ownu
ers of personal property." Any one looking
upon it "could hardly avoid iceling that a
new plague had been sent atnong men, that
there was an impalpable, invisible force in the
air, robbing men of their wits, of which phil
osophy has not yet dreamied "-in other words,
" panice."
A writer in Our Monthly has evidently been
inside a comnposing room, if he has not " dug a
living out of a case." lie thus sums up the
result ot his expel ience :
Working for forty editors and scores of
authors, every one ot whom is as sensitive as
a sore thumb, and as lively and interestiung as
a hornet, no wonder that printers die young,
and only pachydertuatoms, grizzly, mulimh ape
cimene get their share of life:
" appy) infants, early blest !
Re.- in peaceful slumber, reot:
lescued from the Ihamlmmis. and jeers.
Which iocrease with groaing years.'
The writer wishes he could offer himself as
san awful example of the perils which envuiron
the man who meddles with cold-type. A
tbuhoroughly trained printer should have had a
stepiuotber, and then a stepfather, and then
have been bound out t:, a ranuner, and then
have married a scolding wife and lived in a
smoky bouse, anid theit have bad i. family of
bables who were afilicted with the colic. lie
should have added to all this discipline a
thorough knowledge of science, art. law, laso
guages, theology, Listory and biography. If.
in addition, he hcs a v-ciour-luuokig counteu
ance and an amiable disposition, he may st.and
some chance with those authors and editors;
but the probabilities are, after all, they wilt
worry hium to death."
The slowly-starving editor of a paper in
Brattleboro, Vt., drops into poetry as fol
lowe:
S We had sweet dreams the ober night,.
