Roea.-Pope Leo XIII. was crowned in the
i8stine Chapel last Sunday. March 3rd. The
oeremonies commenced at 9. 30 and ended at t
1.30. Only the Cardinals and leading ecoles
ltsties, the diplomatists acoredited to the
Vatican and a few other persons were present.
The few houses Illuminated in the city, were
attacked by mobs who broke the windows. a
It ie said that Cardinal Franohi bas been
confirmed as Secretary-of State, Simeoni as
Prefect of the Propaganda. Moriohine as
Camerlengo, and Bartolini as President of the d
Congregation of Rites. The correspondent of
the Manchester, England. Guardian telegraphs :
"'Public opinion is irritated at the irreconcil
able attitude which appears; to have been c
adopted at the Vatioan." t
HUMaseRTO'S troubles with Lin Ministers t
have already commenced. Oa the 6th, the
Minister of the Interior, Criapi, resigned, break- I
ilg up the combination of pnrtits whicoh so
far has kept the Ministry in power. It is
probable that the Chamber will be dissolved
and a now election ordered.
STx EASTERN QUESTION.-Last Saturdayd
2nd, articles of peace between Russia and
Turkey were signed. It is not yet positively
known what the conditions are, though it is
confidently asserted that the indemnity is
small, and nothing is said about the surrender
of the Turkish fleet. It is also said that the
terms are not prejudicial to England's inter- ]
ests, but are inimical to those of Austria.
In St. Petersburg the enthusiasm over the
news was imprecedented. At San Stefano,
near Constantinople, 31,000 Russian troops
were reviewed, and upon hearing the news all
sung the Te Deusm.
Negooiations for the holding of a Conference 4
or Congress to settle the status of the Dar
danellee and other vexed questions, have been
rcanmed with a fair prospect of sOOCces.
FnrAnc-Without any details to as the I
causes which lead to the disruption of the Or
leanist party, the telegraph states that thereby
the Government will gain about twenty sup
porters for Dnfanre's policy, and that eleven
Orleanists will join the Leg!timists.
PucC IN Cova.-After a most heroic strug
gle of ten years the Cuban patriots have be
come so exhausted that they have been com
pelled to make terms with the Spanish Govern
ment. The conditions granted are much more
favorable than it was thought some time ago
could be obtained. Since the 15th of February
about eight thonsand.insurgents, many of them
with families, have surrendered. Most of the
leading men are included in the number.
UNITED STATUS.
WasIxoToNx.-The long bond savings bill
has passed. This bill authorises the issuance of
100.000,000 in bonds of the denominations of
$05, and $100, bearing 4 per cent interest
in which, it is thought, the middle and poor
Sr olasses will invest their savings. The fail
ure of so many savings banks at the North, hbee
eansed many depositors to withdraw their
money from Institutions of that class and they
have already commenced to buy the Govern
ment bonds very heavily. The daily sales of
one bank in New York amount to $1,000,000.
The suspension of Newoomb Buchanan & Co.
of Louisville, the largest whiskey dealers in
the country, and the threatened bankruptcy of
all dealers in the West, owing to the proposed
reduction in the whiskey tax which caused
parohasers to stop buying, has opened the eyes
of Congressmen to the necessity of prompt so
tion in the matter. A bill has been introduced
by the Committee on Ways and Means to ex
tend the time for paying the tax on spirits now
in bond for an additional year, and to allow
spirits, to be hereafter manufactured, to re
main in bond for three years.
ARasNess.-A $300,000 fire occnrred in Hot
Springs on the night of the 4th, dr stroying 2'0
buildings. The mountain was covered with
people driven from shelter. There is much
suffering, most of the people being in need of
food and clothing.
MISCEKLANEOUS.
Ex-Senator Ben Wadedied in Jefferson, Ohio,
on the 2d.-The cutting down of freights on
the great railroads has reached an unpreceden
tedly low figure: fourth class freight from St.
Louis to New York 100. per 100, flour 20o. per
barrel.-On the 1st a tornado, 400 yards wide,
swept through Creecy Co. Kentucky. The
family of Vincent Wesley, near Rich Hill, con
sisting of himself, wife and two grown daugh
tes a boy named 8loan, a nephew, and Wm.
Tyor, a neighbor stopping at his house, were
killed outright, and Mrs. Wesley's body blown
400 yards, the clothing being entirely stripped
ef by the wind. The two daughters were car
ried ifty yards and found locked in each others
stes the father and nephew were fearfully
mangled, and all must have been killed by the
rsat force of the tempest. The dwelling,
stables, and outhouses were blown entirely
away. The hearth and foundation stone were
blown from their places. In the vicinity Mrs.
Olive, Mrs. Morgan, wife of John W. Morgan,
were killed.

Father Piperni's Appeal for the Distressed Christian
Children of the Holy Land.
Last week we published the letter of His
Grace, the Most Rev. Archbishop of New
Orleans, granting permission to Rev. Father
Piperni, Assistant Superior of the Mission in
Bethlehem, to colleet alms in this Diocese for
the charitable institutions of that place now
in sunch a destitute condition. These institu
tions, which include an orphanage at Bethle
hem, a normal school in Jernsalem and an
agricnltural school in the vicinity of Jerusalem,
were founded in 1'153, there being then no asy
lam oredncational establishment for poor chil
dren in the Holy Land. The money necessary
was collected in France, Belgium, Ireland and
Italy, Pope Pins IX, of bleeped memory, himbelf
coutributing $1260 to the good work. Owing to
the recent war bntween Turkey and Rassin
these noble enterprises which, till then, had
prespored marvellos!ly, are threatened eith
destrucLion and the inmates of the several in
stitutions, as w#ll as the hnndreds of destitnte
children who hlIly apply for aesistance, are in
imminent danger of starving. That there is
no exaggeration in what we have said may be
seen by the following extracts taken from let
ters recently received from the Missionaries in
Palestine :
The condition of the inhabitants of the Holy
Land is really frightful. War has depopulated
the cities and the rural districts; there are left
no men to cultivate the ground. Want of con
fdence is sunch that the bankers of Jerusalem
have closed their banks. Money has disap
peared; the price of grain has increased by a
half; some families who were in allent cir
comstances before the war are now s impover
ished as to be compelled to sell their household
effects to procure bread. The Patriarchate of
.ernsalem, the asylum of M. de Ratisbonne.
that of the Orphans of Bethlehem, and the Con
vent of the R. R. P. P. Franciseoans, are daily
thronged by unfortunates begging bread. The
orphans are so numerous that it is impossible
to admit them all into the asylums which
charity has established in Jeras ilem and also
at Bethlehem. However, the directors of these
charitable institutions work miracles of econo
my in order to furnish the necessaries of life to
the largest possible number of these poor
friendless children. The asylum at Bethlehem
is so crowded that they have been obliged to
transform the corridors of the house into dor
mitories to accommodate some of these unhap
py orphans.
"Our heart is wrung with grief," writes the
Rev. Father Superior of the Asylum of Bethle- 5
hem, "when we see those poor children, to
I whom we have been obliged to refuse admit
f tance, going away weeping. Each day we are
of the witness of the most touching scenes. Yes.
it terday morning, for example, a woman came to
i- nform nus that an unfortunate father, reduned
- to the last extremity, had resolved to bury
is alive his little child by the side of its mother,
r deceased the day preceding, because he had ,,
I nothing to give it to eat. m
I- "We were induced to go to the place, and, Ia
f trusting in Divine Providence, we took the *
child to add it to our already numerous family, b
. and we succored the wretched father. Our w
n heart shudders at the thought of being, per- v;
f haps, reduced to the sad necessity of sending a1
Saway the poor children whom the good God has n
id confided to our care." tl
Father Piperni, who is now the guest of His b
d Grace, the Most Rev. Archbishop, will at once
- commence the collection, as authorized by His A
w Grace in the letter published in our lat issue. F
During Lent he will also preach every Sunday "
evening at 6:30 o'clock in the Italian Church of a
ot St. Anthony of Padua, Rampart street, corner a
0 of Conti.

Some months ago an organization, having
for its object the promotion among Catholic

SKETCH OF CARDINAL PFCCI, NOW LEO XIII
Elested to the Papal Chair on Wednesday,
February 20.
Freeman'. Journal.
Gioaoohino Pecei, now Lo XIII, the scces
sor of the immortal Pins IX, was one of the
most important personages in the Sacored Col
lege. He was born at Carouerto, in the Ponti
oical Sates, March 2J, 1310 He has always
been distinguished for hib bharacter, energy,
wisdom and virtues, and for his valuab!e ser
vioes. He combines in a reasonable degree
apostolic gentleness with administrative firm
ness. He makes himself loved and feared at
the same time. Throughout his whole life he
I has always displayed the most solid clisalities.
Gioaoohino Peoci sprung from an ancient
patrician family of Carpiueto in the Diocese of
SAnagni. He is tall in stature, and has the ap
p earance of an ascetic. isle head is rtoIarkable
for fine out lines of charac',r.
The lines of his featults ire firm, resolute
f and somewhat angular. His voice is solnorons
r and brilliant when preachinag ut othera.e' .n
familiar conversation. In private life he is
simple, affectionate, amiable and full of wit
In ceremonies, under the purple or under Eis
copal insignia, he becouies grave, a:as:ere.
i majestic ; he appears filled with the fatloen of
his ministry. One would imagine that re 1»sad,
o but it is not so, it is natural with him ; he illoeS
a not affecot it, it seeks him. Farumiarity with
the Pontificate imparts a second natcr,.
Having completed his estdies at the Roman
College, he entered the Academy of Nobl
a Ecclesiastics, and devoted himself with profi
to the study of Law and Theology. Gregory
XVI, who had a keen knowledge of men, be
came deeply interested in him, and attached
g him to his person by appointing him Prelate of
d his Household and Sig nature Referendary
(March 16, 1b37). Shortly aftcrwards he sent
him as Delegate to Benevento, then to Spoleto,
d and afterwards to Perugia. In these cities
. Mgr. Peoci displayed uncommon ability and
attracted publio admiration. He possesses, at
the same time, a holy charity, incorruptible
g integrity, and unyielding firmness.
y His first act of administration is deserving of
mention.
He was at Benevento, a place then in a de
plorable condition; situated as it was, far from
d home, which could give it bat little attention,
0e and hemmed in by the kingdom of Naples,
[c which was the resort and asylum of smugglers
-v 'risgndn The vovernment of this Pro
vince presented all manner of diii:ulties to
the Delegate. There were families there with
is feudal notions powerful in rank and fortune,
io despising autiority, but timidly yielding to
. Neapolitan brigandage which they protected
against authortC itlf; Just as 81oll is at the
prisa tti gas, . PwYot Lu t t Phn so "a,
en p.ow. r. ..ui.ed against him. And let it
nor be forg,te.r that the brigands committed
aels of cru, i ferocty, and that these families
tlad intln,-,tial eapport in Rome.
M,tr. PFrci, grieved at the deplorable condi
tion of the Province, resolved to make schange
for the better-even at the risk of his own fu
ture prospect
He began by obtaining from the Pontifical
Government an tefoient uffoier, Sterbini, [Not
the infamous wretch of that name that fnred
in the times of Pope Pius IX.-Ed. F. J.,] who
reorganized the Castom House business. He
then went to the King of Naples, Informed him
of his designs, and prevailed upon him to en
act severe mesoures against the violaters of
the law. This done, he secured the good will
of the officers of the army and of the police
force, and then went to work. It became'ne
oessary to fight regular battles, to follow the
brigands to the castles in which they en
trenched themselves, and enter these citadels
by force; because their strange hosts, the Lords
of the manore, claimed that the Delegate was
vio!r:ing treir lands and their demeanes, and
thev, therefore, showed resistance.
T.e most powerfo l of them sought Mgr.Pecoi,
adi, with threats, told him that he was going
to RImon, and would souon return with an order
for his reca!l.
"Very well, Siganr Marchese," coldly replied
Mgr. Pcci. "''t before going to Rome, yon
will spend three mouths in prison, and I will
give you black bread for your iood and water
for your drink."
The Marlqi-' castle was, in the meantime,
taken by anesaut, the brigands either killed or
captured, ard th,- people loudly applauded the
I), egate.
In a few moiuths the whole province was
cleared of brigands ; the Lords submitted; the
Pope publicly congratulated Mgr. Pecci, and
Ferdinand II summoned him to Naples to re
ceive the marks of royal cor,ideration.
The Delegatw was, about this time, stricken
down with adlargerone malady, the clergy and
the people were Illed with alarm, and the
streets of Benevento witnessed processions of
penitents who walked bare footed and tLeir
heads covered with sackcloth, and offerlng up
prayers for his recovery.
M gr. Pecci's administration over Spoleto and
l Perngla was marked by the same energy and
t promptness of action. In the latter city, which
bas a 1 opulation of some twenty thousand in
habitants, and which was the chief town of
f the Province, the prisons under his adminis
tration were empty; there was not a single per
son undor arrest. To the great regret of the
Sl'erogiare , Gregory XVI recalled him in 1943;
he precuonised him Archbishop of Damietta,
(Egypt), although he was only thirty-three
a years of age, aTd tent him as Nuncoo to Brins
sels.
D .gr. recti wou guldenu o ,ol not ~l7y
s from the Belgian Court, bat from all condi
tions of society. Leopold I, a wise monarch,
o delighted in consulting him, and in mania
Sinug every mark of affection towards him. But
a the elimate- sad perhaps the labors of his
e eba - etied his heI1 soem mhstS a
the advioce of his phyaloians, he was obliged to e
ask for his recall. Leopold I was sorely grieved a
at this; be conferred the Grand Cordon of his *i
Order upon him, and requeqted him to carry aB
sealed package from him to the Pope. The
Prelate inquired whether the oommiuaions of
the King were very argent, as he desired, be
fire returning to Rome, to visit some portions
of Europe. and to suady their political Institu- A
tions, as he had done in Holland and Belgium. a
*It will snfioe, Monseigneur," replied the P
King, '"for you to deliver my message to the a
Holy Father on your return to Rome. o
When Mgr. Peois reached the Eternal City, v
Gregory XVI, after reading the royal letter,
said to him :
"The King of the Belgians extols your ohar- e
acter, your virt=ee, and your services; and he t1
asks semethinit for .on that I will grant p
with all my heart; tbo purple. But here a
is a depntation from Perogia that has come to ,
ask lime to contide to yo'n teue administration of
trat Diocese. Acepoot, then. the See of PI'erugila;
yon will soon receive the Car,'linal's hat."
bMgr. Pecce preconized Archbishbopl,-ihop of
Perugia, at the Consistory of January i",. 1:i, t,
was, at the same time. created Cardinal, and a
reserved in pe.tto, But Gregory XVI died in the b
course of :he year, and he did not receive the a
Cardinal's bat until it was given him by Pope c
Pine IX, of holy memory, on December t9, li3. t
Daring al:t! this time, Mgr. Pecoi never left his
Diocese.
Cardinal Peooi Ihas passed through some very
trying times, and has always proved £elual to
the occasion. lie is a man of great Catholic
learning and of great political comtnon sense.
The new masters of Italy took his Seminary
from him.
"I need only a few rooms." sid the Cardinal.
lie opened his palace to the Seminarians, he
lived with them and spent his recreation
amongst them. He invited them to his table.
le founded for the priests of his Diocese, an t
Academy called St. Thomas', he presided over J
their theological discussions, encouraging the e
labors of each one, and brought forth men n
worthy of the better days of the Chureh. It t
was through his efforts that the same scientific
.novement was inaugurated at Perngio that
lie is himself endowed with the most varied
culture, and was, at times, a poet. o
In dealing with Syndics, Prefects, and other y
Italian autho ities, Cardinal Peeci, like Cardi- y
nal Riario.Sforza, rie s above all parties. T'here (
was never any doubt about his devotion to the
Holy See, and he is incapable of weakness; but
he is known-to be submissive to the decrees of
Providence. lie has ntver permitted an ofioer of
the present regime to cross his threshold or to came
into his presence, and yet the civil power honor- a
ed his virtues, and occasionally tempered some d
t of its measures out of regard for him.
At the Consistory held in the Apoestolic Pal- e
I ace, os 8eptember 21, 1'77, our Holy Father c
Pope Pius IX, of holy memory, conferred, so
cording to the prescribed forms, the offioe of
Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church, upon
His Eminenoe, Cardinal Pecci.
THE LEOS IN HISTORY.
Cincinnati Te!egraph.
The name of Leo, taken by the new Pope,
recalls some of the most eventful and glo
rious days in the history of the Papacy.
At least five of the twelve popes who have
borne the name made themselves famous
among the rulers of the Holy See. Leo I,
canonized and surnamed the Great, who
occupied the Papal chair from 440 to 461,
appeased a quarrel between Aetius and
Albinos which threatened to leave Gaul and
Italy exposed to the barbarians, saved
I Rome from Attila, persuading " the I
Scourge of God" to retire with a ransom,
and made Genseric and his Vandals agree I
that in tile sack of Rome, three of its
churches should he spared and the lives of
all its citiz na. The same great Pontil?
restored discipline and harmony among the
I African churches, annulled the fraudulent
r Episcopal elections of Gaul and enforced
celibacy upon the clergy. Leo III, also
canonized, P'ope from 793 to 81t;, founded
many of the finest Roman churches, crown
ed Charlemagne Emperor of the West, and
gave to the church the solemn services
known as the "Rogations." Leo IV, a
I third Saint, Pope from 847 to 855, headed,
clad in his priestly robes, the sally of the
citizens of Rome in +I4- against a great
Saracen host which had landed at Ostia,
and, routing the enemy, took such booty
t that he was enabled with it to reconstruct
the whole circuit of the walls of Rome, a
, having already built ramparts about what I
is now called the L"onine City. Leo X. I
d the most illustrious of the name, from a
d secular point of view, was a son of Lorenzo
h de Medici, called the "Magnificent." He
- became Cardinal at thirteen, at seventeen
a Legate and at thirty-eight Pope, succeed
ing Julius II, in 1513.
rBefore coming to the 'Papal throne this
Pontiff had been the companion and patron 1
of the most eminent artiste and literary
e men of the day. He reconstructed the great
s- Roman University, and made it the most
eminent scientific body in Europe, with its
of science, sacred or profane, including
medical botany, then first taught. He
patronized the arts with all the munidf
i ces of the Medlesn family; be founded
She OGreek Iastitae as
established a Greek press in Rome, eaesetr
aged the study of the Oriental langulags,
and printed at his own cost Santo Pagoie's
Bible and a key to the Egyptian hierogly
phtic by Piero Valerians. Under him was
held the fifth general council of Late~
to him Portugal sent the first fruits of
Albuquerque's East India conquests; be
added to the Pontifical domains Siens,
Perugia and Bologna, and regained Parms
and Piacedna. Under his reign the building
of St. Peter's was completed. Hestrovelin
vain to form a league of Christendom
against the Turks, and died after a reign of
eight years, long gratefully remembered by
the Romane as an era of happiness and
prosperity, and destined to live in the
annals of art and literature while the names
of Raphael and Michael Angelo survive or
scholars recall llemba and Sadoleto. The
laitest Leo of the line, Leo XII, who reigned
fron 1S23 to 1c:", was a firm governor,who
exerted himself vigorously to repress brig
andage, established an efficient police at
Rome, did much for the Sapienza Univer
sity. and was most roundly abused for his
circular letter to the Christian nations at
tacking the hypocrisy Bible societies, and
his resolute warfare upon the secret organi
zations so obnoxious to the Catholle
Church.
THE LAST POPE LEO.
The Last Leo on the Papal Throne died
in 1829. Anneballe Della Genga, Pope
Leo XII, was born August 2, 1760, in the
Territory of Spoleto. Before his elevation
to the Pontificate he filled the offices of
Archbishop, Cardinal and Papal Nnnaio.at
several German courts. In 1793, he was
made Archbishop of Tyre, and twenty
three years later was made a cardinal. He
was sent to France on a special and import
-art 9 _issi by Pins VIl .nd n pn the
latter's death succeeded him in the Papacy
on September l2, 1823, in his sixty-third
year, and after being Cardinal for seven
years. As Pope his government of the
Church was characterized by a firmness
that drew him into dispute with Franes
and Austria, but in his temporal rule he
was actuated by zeal for the welfare of his
subjects and his country. In his efforts to
secure this welfare his influence was ar
dently and resolutely directed toward the
promotion of education and culture and the
encouragement of literature, and, on the
other band, to the suppression of brigPn
dage and the overthrow of pernicious seere
societies. He organised the Saplensa Uni
versity in Rome, regulated its Faculties of
theology, law, medicine, philosophy and
philology, increased the corps of profes
sors, and advanced their salaries, and in
other essential points increased very great
ly the general efficiency of the institution.
He caused a jubilee for the year 8I to
be published. He was also very zealoMus i
his efforts to extend both the Papal sa
thority and introduce into the government
many important reformations. He engag
ed in negotiations with the South Amer
ican Republics, with the design of refilling
the numerous sees which had been left
vacant during the wars with Spain, and in
October, 1824, published an act "Motu pro
prio " reorganizing the government of the
Papal States. lie corrected the abuses that
had crept into some convents and monas
teries of the Sacred City, and by the
establishment of an eflicient police force
y maintained general order and security.
I lsa reiro was brought to a close February
t 10, IO)9, when he died, after tilling the
Papal Throne for a little more than five
years.
