Show Rude Conduct of Americans at the Vatican. Wo have to record the very unbecoming conduct of certain cer-tain Americans who visited the Vatican Vati-can library on Monday last. Being invited in-vited to leave at the usual hour fbr; closing, they threatened to throw the custode out of the window for his courteous cour-teous intimation, and their insolence was such that ho had to call in the Swiss guards to drive them out .Nor was this all, for one of the four returned return-ed to the Pontifical Palace about 4 o'clock, and hearing that the museum was then oloscd broke out into the most violent invectives against the Holy Father, the papal court, tho Catholic faith, ending with ridiculous menaces, and lamentations that the new rulers had not mado a tabula rasa of everything every-thing that is most sacred and venerable venera-ble in the Eternal city. Such facts need no comment. Osservatore Romano. |
