DEATH OF CARDINAL BARNAIO.
Rox, February 28.-The Sacred Col
lege has lost another of its members. On
Tuesday, the 24th of February, Cardinal
Alessandro Barnabo expired at the hour of
half-past four in the afternoon. His death
was not altogether unexpected. A year
or two ago he bhad been attacked by gout in
the bead and latterly he became almost
entirely Iºlind. But be attended to busi
em-, notwithstanding his illness, and did
not cease visiting the Vatican until within
ten days of his disease. At the recent re
ceptions of Pius IX.,, Cardinal Barnabo
was usually seen supported by the arm of
General Ksnaler, the Pope's Minister-at
War. The immediate cause of the Car
dinal's death was an accession of gout to
the stomach. He was born in Foligno on
the 2nd of March, 1801, being the eldest
son of the Marebese Enrico Barnabo. The
Barnabo family is a very ancient one, and
when the arst Napoleon took away to
France the cadets of noble Italian houses,
Alemandro Barnabo was among the exiled
and was placed in the Ecole Polyteeniqune
or military school. One of his comrades at
that school was Mgr. Regnier, the present
Archbishop of Cambray. Alessandro was
the eldest of nine children, of whom three
sons and two daughters died before the
Cardinal. The oldest surviving brother is
Oraso, a Canon, and in deacon's orders
only. Aleasandro Barnabo, when he re
turned from France, embraced the ecclesi
astical profession and displayed talents of
no common order. II. was promoted to a
Canonry in St. Peter's, and in July, 1847,
became Secretary of the Propaganda. In
this onerous and diffiBcult post he continu
ed for nine years. Cardinal Fransoni,
Prefect of the Propaganda, died in April,
1856, and Barnabo, then Secretary, was
chosen his successor. lie was created
Cardinal Priest in the Consistory of June,
1856, and took the title' of St. Susanna.
He was member of the Sacred Congrega
tions of the Inquisition, the Council, Rites
and Ceremonies, and Extraordinary Af
fairs. He was moreover, Protector of var
ious Religious Communities and of the
Irish College in Rome. It was chiefly,
however, by his government of the Propa
gauds that Cardinal Barnabo became
nown and respected. He was the life and
heart of all the Catholic Missions which
owe allegiance to the Sacred Congregation
de Propaganda Fide, which are scattered
all over the world, and which are guided
and controlled very much by the Prefetto
Qenerale of Propaganda. Cardinal Bar
nabo was modest, kind, and unassuming.
His advice was rarely sought in vain. He
Lessessed in an eminent degree the gift of
discrimination of character, and was firm
and just. He was laborious and patient,
and thus his penetrating genius was the
better able to master the daily mass of
correspondence arriving from every part
of the globe, and containing problems to
resolve, perils to be avoided, and impor
tant cases to decide. His memory was
prodigious, and his knowledge of human
nature was as remarkable as his vast pe
were of recollection. Cardinal Barnabo
was as a father to the Missionaries. those
marvellous Missionaries of the Catholic
-Church, whose labors and lives are spent
with such prodigality of sacrifice in the
work of disseminating the Faith. To
many of them the parting counsels receiv
ed from Cardinal Barnabo were treasures
of comfort in dying hours of difficulty or
danger. The demise of Cardinal Alessandro
Barnabo will bring sorrow to many hearts,
and mourcing for him will be felt even in
the farthest isles of the Pacific. Thousands
of living Catholic Missionaries were edq
eated almost under the eye of the diseased
Cardinal, whose connection with the Pro
paganda (as Secretary and Prefect) lasted
for more than a quarter of a century. The
mortals remains of the deceased Cardinal
lay in State in his apartments in the Pro
paganda College the day after his demise.
The funeral functions were performed in
the chapel of the College on Friday the
27th. The catafalque was placed in front
of the lligh Altar, and Mass was celebrated
by Dr. James Gould. Bishop of Melbourne,
in Australia. The Dies Irv, Hosanna in
Excelsis, and Libera Me were beautifully
anne by the choir of the College, assisted
by ..ou.e of the members of the Pope's own
choir. The chapel was filled with ecclesi
astics of every grade and nationality. The
present laws forbid the interment of the
Cardinal's remains in the church of his
title. His body was therefore carried in
the evening of Friday to the Campo Vera
no. There it will provisionally remain
until its final removal to the fhmily vary
tog-place at Foligno. It is rumoured
that Cardinal Bilio will be the new Prefect
et the Propaganda.
THE COLOSSEUM OUTRAGE.
Expiatory services on account of the
eacrilege in the Colosseum still continue.
On Friday, the 27th, about sixty or seven
ty persons met at the Church of St. Bona
ventura, near the Colosseum, and went
through the devotions of the Via Crucis.
There was no interference on the part of
the Questura, although four officers of
that department watch attentively the pro
ceedings of the Catholics, and took notes
of them.
AIOLITION OFP ILI.EGITIMACY.
Salvatore Morelli, the same deputy who
proposes to emancipate the femaleo sex
from the fetters of matrimony, has present
ed to the Italian Parliament a 1Bill to ab
olish the odiousdistinction between legi
timate and illegitmate issue, on the ground
of its contradiction of the rights of nature.
All children born out of wedlock are to
take the mother's name, and to rank as
legitimate. No prejudice is to effect tlhe
4'moral position in society" of such off
apring. The father may at any time he
pleases give the children his own esurname
in addition to that of the mother, and he
must contribute to their maintenance.
This change is to be carried out, asocording
to Morelli,*"in homage to justice and the
dignity of man."
THE ExaQUATUCIt.
A discossion has taken place in the
Chamber of Deputies respecting the Exe
quator. The Holy See has at no time rec
ognised the absolute right of temporal
governments to examine and alter the Balls
ar appointment to Bishoprics and ecolesi
Soflices. Catholic sovereigns, to
whom the privilege of nominating to church
Isneos was conceded by Concordats,
havebhd the inspection of Balls as matter
4Of eenrtesy ad convenience. Butthe Pope
4mlever pelnitted the alteration of Bulls
for ecclesiastical appointtments ade by
the Curia Bomana. In Italy the exhibition
or forwarding of Bulls to the civil authori
ties is strictly prohibited. But there is no
concealmint practiced, and the nomina
tions are public. The recently appointed
Bishops have uniformly declined to present
their Balls for the purpose of demanding
the Ezequatur and obtaining the tempor
alities. But immediately on their preconi
zation in Consistory they give notice to
the civil functionaries, who generally reply
that they will issue the Exequsatr on pre
sentation of the formal documents. These
documents are never presented, and the
Bishops attend to their spiritual duties and
trust to Providence for their support. The
Syndic of Cagliari, when Archbishop
Balma was appointed to that see, was anx
ionus to strengthen the Archbishop's power
of doing good and sought to induce him to
forward his Bulls. This the Archbishop
refused to do, but after consulting the
Pope, he caused the Bulls to be placed in
the sacristy, where any, person might In
spect and copy them. The Syndic for
warded a copy of these Bulls to the Gov
ernment authorities; who then wrote to
the Archbishop to know whether he de
sired the Exequatur. The Archbishop
gave a verbal reply, to the effect that he
would take no part in presenting his Bulls
and demanding the Exequatur, but stating
his wish to be recognized as Archbishop if
that recognition could be had without vio
lating his conscience. The Exequatur has
issued.
TIE roPE
His Holiness continues to give audiences
every day in the week, and his state of
health seems highly satisfactory. He re
ceived this week deputations of Poles and
Lithuanians, and visits from several dis
tinguished foreigners. The Papal Court
has of course been affected by the deaths
of Cardinals Tarquini and Barnabo, and
by the illness of Cardjnal Capalti, who lies
in such a state as to preclude all hopes of
his recovery. Cardinal t-apalti was marked
out as the successor of Cardinal Barnabo
at the Propaganda by reason of his great
talents and ability, but for some time it
has been evident that no favorable termi
natioq to Cardinal Capalti's ailment (apop
lexy) could be expected. It is coni
dently rumored that a new creation of
Cardinals will be made in Easter week, and
that Archbishop Manning will be among
the recipients of the purple.-Lendono Tab

IFrom the Chlcago Tribune.J.
When Chatles Sumner was elected a
Senator, in 1851, George S. Boutwell was
Governor of Massachusetts ; Henry Wilson,
President of the Massachusetts Senate, and
Nathaniel P. Banks, Jr., Speaker of the
House in the Massachusetts Legislature.
Sumner and Wilson represented 27,803
Free Soil votes, and Boutwell and Banks
represented 36,363 Democratic votes, in
"c oalition," against 57,364 Whigs. The
"coalition" csocked the established order
in Massachusetts in more ways than one.
it was a raid by young and aggressive men,
of whom the current inquiry was, " Who
are they t" It was a trick in politics so
:hrewd that subsequently, by common
consent, the way to its repetition was
barred by constitutional amendment, in
troducing the plurality system in all elec
tions with a fixed number of seats in the
Legislature. To explain hw it was done:
The " Coalitionists' voted separate party
tickets for Governor, and united on candi
dates for the Legislature, electing in the
House, 210 members against 174 Whigs.
The majority in the House filled the
vacancies in the Senate, which was made
to consist of 27 Coalitionists and 13 Whigs.
Then the two bodies, in concurrence,
elected the Governor and other State
offlcers. It was comparati'vely easy to
carry out that part of the programme
which involved Boutwell's election as
Governor, and it was also easy to elect
Rantoul (Democrat) to the unexpired six
weeks of the Senatorial term; but to elect
Sumner, an Abolitionist, to the full Sena
torial term, there was the rub. The con
test was protracted at the State House from
January into May, a large number of
Democrats scattering their votes, fearing to
go on the record as voting for an Aboli
tionist, but fearing more that by absenting
themselves a Whig (Robert C. Winthrop)
should be chosen. In that Legislature
were, we believe, Ben Butler and Caleb
Cushing, Democrats, not openly voting for
Sumner; ahd Samuel Hooper and Henry
L. Dawes, Whigs, voting for Winthrop.
Finally the Legislature framed what was
famously known in Massachusetts for some
years (until abolished), the " Sealed-Ballot
act" for all elections; and, on the first
count of votes under the " sealed ballot,"
Charles Sumner was found to be chosen.
When, subsequently, Caleb Cushing was
in Pierce's Cabinet, and Ben Butler was
the Democratic candidate (against Banks,
Republican,) for Governor of Massachu.
setts, and when Democrats had patronage
and a Southern constituency, responsibility
for Charles Sumner in the Senate was
readily shirked by an appeal to the record
of -iria voce votes, and the secrets of the
"sealed ballot" were ever sealed. The
coalition was in power two years, but
could not survive the Presidential election
of 1852; and with the ascendency of the
Democrats in the nation, and the reascen
dency of the Whigs in Massachusette, it look
ed gloomy enough for the young men who
had so bravely seized a state in defiance of
hereditary rules and tradition. Who, theen,
could have predicted that these young men
of 1851--Sunmner, Boutwell, Banks, Wilson,
and Burlingame-were so largely to fill the

The "'Coward's Iow."
(London Universe.)
The bravest nation of Europe has just
received, at the hands of its destroyer, the
last death-blow.
An imperial skase has conferred upon
General Kotzebue the title of Commander
in-chief and Governor of Varsoviana-Var
seviana, not Poland. The very name of
place and people is to be no more.
It has not escaped public notice and pub
lie Indignation that this cruel and most un
necessary outrage took place on the very
day that Francis Joseph of Austria (now
on a visit to the. northern bear) was re
viewing a nssilan regiment in the square
of St. Petersburg.
The Emperor of Austria is a strange
gentleman ; he calls himself Catholic, and
oes much more than desert the head
of the Church - quietly but fearfully is he
storing up for himself "wrath against the
day of wrath." The ruin of the Hapabnrghs
is as sure as doomsday. But now, since
the dastardly act of Saturday last, Francis
Joseph must have utterly lost caste even
with those whom his past acts of treachery
to the Sovereign Pontif did not much
affect.
The Emperor of Austria feasting with
Russia and drinking to the oblivion of the
Polish nation, and passing in glorious re
view those regiments which are armed,
ready if called upon, to make her homes
desolate I Has the man no gratitude -
no care for decency t-no brains t Is he
without heart as well as without head i
Is he so anxious for a "friend at court"
that he will throw away all that makes
life tolerable in order to obtain one t Let
him; but he shall not be able to defer, by
any amount of sneaking, "candid court
esy," his well and long-merited chastise
ment.
When Sobieski, King of Poland, rescued
the imperial city of Vienna from the Turks,
he called the day on which he had achiev
ed his victory the happiest of his whole
life. He was so proud to be the instrua
ment of Heaven in saving a Catholic peo
ple from the sword of Mahomet, he sent
to the Pope the standards he had taken,
with the following letter :
I came, I saw, and God conquered.
Austria repays the act of her deliverance
by a cruel meanness without parallel even
in this age of falseness and treacheries.
Well, we must have patience and wait
God's time ; but it is a grievous trial to
flesh and blood. Our soldiers are nowhere,
our hopes are disappointed, our friends fall
away-the world and the devil are them
selves surprised at their success.
Everything, except the cause, is lost.
This remains, and therefore all remains.
It is true that
Our good knights are dust ;
Their swords are rust ;
Their souls are with the saints, we trust.
But the cause survives ; and "God is able
out of the stones to raise up children to
Abraham." And whatever comes to pass
it will always be seen that valor and truth
and devotion and sacrifice will be on one
side, and treason and numbers, selfishness
and violence on the other.
Over the tombs of the heroes of the
Church it is written that they "Held faith
and honor far more dear than life." But
Sir Walter Scott has given ut beforehand
an epitaph for Francis Joseph :
Shame and dishonor sit
By his grave ever;
Blessings shall hallow it
Never, oh, never!
THE ART OF SPEAKING.-Man is natural
ly a speaking animal; and a good style is
merely that accomplishment in the art of
verbial expression which arises from the
improvement of the natural faculty by
good training. The best training for the
formation of style is, of course, familiar
intercourse with good speakers and writers.
A man's vocabulary depends very much
always, and in the first stage perhaps al
together, on the company he keeps. Read
the best compositions of the most lofty
minded and eloquent men, and you will
not fail to catch something of their nobili
ty, only let there be no slavish imitation of
any man's manner of expression. There is
a certian individuality about every man's
style, as about his features, which must be
preserved. Also, be not over anxious about
mere style, as if it were a thing that could
be cultivated independently of ideats Be
more careful that you should have some
thing weighty and pertinent to say, than
that you should say things in the most
polished and skilful way. There is good
sense in what Socrates said to the clever
young Greeks in this regard, that if. they
had something to say they would know
how to say it; and to the same effect spoke
St. Paul to the early Corinthian Christians,
and in these last times the wise Goethe to
the German students
"Be thine to seek the honest gals,
No shallowsoundlng fool ,
Sound sense inds utterance for itself.
Without the critic's rule ,
If to your heart your tongue be true.
Why hunt for words wita much ado I"
But with this reservation you cannot be
too diligent in acquiring the habit of ex
pressing your thoughts on paper with that
combination of lucid order, graceful ease,
pregnant significance, and rich variety,
which marks a good style. But for well
educated men, in this country at least, and
for normally-constituted men in all conun
tries, I should say, writing is only a step
to speaking.--Oa Slf-Gul(urc. B Pro,

Genios of naergy.
There is no genius in life like the gen
ius of energy and activity. You will learn
that all the traditions so.current among
young men-that certain great characters
have wrought their greatness by an in
spiration, as it were-grow out of a great
mistake. And you will farther find, when
you come to measure yourself with men,
that there are no rivals so formidable as
those earnest, determined minds which
reckon the value of every hour, and which
achieve eminence by persistent application.
Literary ambition may inflame you at cer
tain periods, and the thought of some great
name will flash like a spark into the midst
of your purposes ; you dream until mid
night over your books ; you set up shadows
and chase them down-other shadows and
they fy. Dreaming will never catch them.
Nothing makes the "scent lie well" in the
hunt after distinction but labor.
And it is a glorious thing, when once you
are weary of the dissipation and ennui of
your own aimless thoughts, to take
up some glowing page of an earnestthinker,
and read deep and long until you feel the
metal of his thoughts tinkling on your
brain, and striking out, flow, flinty
flashes of ideas that give mind light and
heat. And away you go, in the chase of
what the soul within is creating on the in
stant, and you wonder at the fecundity of
what seemed so crude. The glow of toil
wakes you to the consciousness of your
real capacities; you feel sure that you
have taken a new sleep towards final de
velopement. In such mood it is that one
feels grateful to the musty tomes which at
other hours, stand like curiosity-making
mummies, with no warmth and no vitality.
Now they grow into the affections like new
found friends; and gain a hold upon the
heart, and light a fire in the brain, that the
years and the mould cannot cover or
quench.
RAILROAD ACRoss THE ANDEs.-One of
the grandest works of this age is now being
constructed across the Peruvian Andes,
connecting the Pacific Ocean with the Am
azon River by means of a railroad, and
opening the whole interior of Peru to the
commerce of the world. Hitherto that
rich and immensely productive country, so
graphically described in the United States
reports of Lienuts. Herndon and Gibbon,
has been virtually locked up to foreign
trade; the transportation of one ton of
freight from the interior of Peru to the sea
port, Lima, costing three times as much as
the transportation of the same amount of
freight from Lima to Europe. The rail
road in question was began in 1870, and
has already cost over $70,000,000. It is
estimated that it will be finished in 1876.
Over 10,000 laborers, mostly Chinese are
constantly employedon it. The enormous
difficulties that have to be overcome in the
construction of this road may be estimated
from the fact that the Andes rise there to
a height of 20,320 feet above the level of
the sea. The road itself rises 17,000 feet,
and is by far the highest railroad in the
world. Even the Mont Cenis Railroad
sinks into insignificance when compared
with the Peruvian undertaking. The road
has also the highest viaduct in the world,
it being 580 feet long and 300 feet high in
the centre. It rests on three pillars, of
which the first is 166, the second 183. and
the third 253 feet high ; is built of iron
and was manufactured in the United States'
A MILE IN THIRTY-TVO SECONDs.-The
following story of the achievement in re
spect of speed, in an ice-boat on the Hud
son, in the vincinity of Stattisbure last
week, is told by the Poughkeepsie Eagle:
"Thursday last the wind blow very fresh
from the south,'"nd the owner of the new
ice-boat 'Cyclone' determined to take ad
vantage of the favorable opportunity for
timing his yatch. The Hudson at this
point is very wide, and at the course se
lected its breadth is one mile. Having
made every preparation for the feat to be
accomplished, the reel-points were shaken
out of the sails, and every stitch of canvas
spread to the gale. With two men on the
windward runner to keep the boat down to
the ice, the helm was turned, the sails fill
ed, and in a few moment, with every inch
of canvas drawing, she was under fall
headway. Like an arrow from a bow she
daA*d away on her course, clouds of pul
verized ice following in the sunrface of the
river, and in what seemed but an instant
the river had been crossed, and the mile
accomplished in the almost incredible time
of thirty-one seconds, being at the rate of
two miles In a minute and two seconds.
Persons on shore compared the speed of
the flying racer to that of a meteor flashing
through the sky and watched her movements
with eager interest. The owner afterward
put the boat through some movements on
the ice, and astonished as well as paralyzed
the lookers-on by sailing all the way across
the river on one runner, the force of the
wind throwing her over on her beam ends
and raising the windward runner from ten
to twelve feet above the ice."
The man who thinks he can carry his
boyish pranks into the serious business of
life is not a man, and defrauds himself and
his employer. "After work, play," That
shouldsatisfy the most sanguine. "Busi
ness before pleasure" is tile motto of the
prodent man whose guide is experience,
and it is sufficient for the novitiate in active
life. lat it is despicable to see the younng
mnan just starting in life so wedded to his
formerenjoyments as to place them above
present duties. There is no royal road
to success any more than to knowl
edge. He who would succeed must
work and after all there is more real en
joyment in work, which has a worthy ob
ject, than in play or pleasure, intended to
kill time. We remarked a few days ago to
a business man whose present means are
amply sufficient, but who worked really
harder than any of his numerous employees,
"that he ought to take it easy." Said he,
"I am never so happy as when I have more
than I can do, I may wear out in working,
but I dread to rest out in idling." He was
right; his work was a part of himself, a
part of his life, and it was always faithfully
done. To apprentices especially, this
earnestness and interest in their work is
necessary if snucess is ever to be obtained.

a taste for the flesh of dogs and cats. Lately
