in the national assembly hae have behn been fully verified veri verl ned Hed three things have havo mainly contributed to this result namely tho the visit of king victor emanuel to an anti antl d berlin nerlin the signal success dath of the tho c i to ic c in eiho giho the october electa elections in prance france and the last political leal leai manifesto of the count cowit do cham hard on each of these points I 1 will brief briefly express my views there 4 Is the most indubitable evidence that the object of tile the italian king in visiting vienna and berlin was the formation of an and defensive be between tween italy austria and prussia against france ie 1 the tho event of tho the restoration of the bourbons to the throne of that country tins this journey Y of victor emanuel was a direct response to the foolish fulminations by the archbishop of paris and several of the catholic bishops of france against italian unity and amine against st those almost innumerable pail pall political manifestations which under tha tho olo glo cloak alc of pious pilgrimages to tile sacred shrines of lourdes and of salette have been organized by the leaders of the monarchial party in hopes of reviving an almost ax extinct religious faith falth the belief in the divine right of kings in the hearts of the people for the information of my readers I 1 will make a digression and give a very brief sketch of the sacred places mentioned above I 1 whose fame has been beell revived by tb tho the late pilgrimages several yea years ils ago so runs the fable manufactured by the catholic priests the virgin mary condes bended bended to reveal herself in all her tier glory flory fiory toa ton to a number of or young folks of oth both sexes living in the tile villages of salette and of lourdes for the purpose of converting them to the worship von vor ship of mary the queen of heaven a worship invented by b y tile the jesuits in whose faith the holy mother is is tile the most influential personage of heaven her power there transcending even eyen that of the savior a himself in honor of this holy pei rei personage son agea a neat little chapel has been erected at la ln salett salette and another at lourdes close by these buildings building sare saro are aro two fountains the waters of which have become famous in france by their supposed healing va virtues etues because of the many miracles mirael ss which according to the declarations of boff catholic priests have been wrought on the afflicted from all parts of the tile country by their agency and the sale of these famous waters has become a source of large revenue to the holy fathers who have control of them paray is another of these hoy koy holy places to which many pilgrimages gr gru 1 nages are also made the frigul of its sanctity is found in the following catholic tradition about two iwo centuries amaria ago 0 alacoque now sow a saint saini in fl the w calendar of the rom ish church then a yeung young girl

which in 0 our ur days has been so au audaciously used by french in the interest of the throne and the church inaugurated by the tile jesuits the belief in and devotion to this dogma has become so

into this co country mitry with great solemnities by the archbishop of baltimore primate of the united states and ills his example has been followed by several american bishops it is to paray paras lourdes and saletto baletto that under the special direction of the clerical party the many pilgrimages have been made for more than a year past about which so much has been said in the monarchist journals of trance france to show the eminently political character of these amm aff alis alts it need only bo be said sald that on more than one occasion occasion the hundred members of the national assembly have headed beaded these pilgrimages bearing the tho emblems of the sacred heart uttering ering eting prayers delivering toasts to the I pope lope and to henry fth ath and delivering fervent
