A Hienway Rossery which had all the elements of the Claude Duval and Dick Turpin ers occurred near Hyde Park, Long Island, last evening.

No point of law was in NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, JANUARY 30, 1870—TRIPLE SHR.T. Tending? The history of mankind as far a8 we know it, up to the present age, hasbeen but the in- troductory chapter of the great volume of the nineteenth century and to whe wonderful fu- ture that is just opening. The old saying that history repeats itself is no longer true, except ina limited sense, for the extraordi- nary discoveries in science and the social, po- litical and material developments of the pres- ent time are unlike any that have occurred be- fore. In truth, this is a new age, so new and surprising, anf so far ia advance of any pre- ceding one that those who believe in a mil- lennium have no difficulty in fixing this as the pertod for the regeneration of the world and for the coming of that new heaven and earth foretold in the Apocalypse. But we shall not go into the mysteries of prophecy or into speculations about theological or spiritual matters; we shall treat of facts only and the deductions to be drawn from them. Those who love to contemplate things of antiquity or to study and dwell on ancient history often profess to find a superior civili- zation in the past. They go back to Egypt, to Greece and to Rome, and attempt to show that we are not only not in advance of these countries when they had reached the highest point of their civilizaiion, but that we are be- hind them. This, however, is a narrow and short-sighted view of the matter, and shows that these lovers of antiquity do not compre- hend the mighty agencies and wonderful pro- gress of modern civilization. The most ancient of all civilizations re- corded in history or oa monumental structures is that of Egypt, and no doubt this is the oldest, for nothing has been discovered to show that any nation before the Egyptians had attained that knowledge and the arts of life which constitute civilization as now understood. The Hebrews were only pastoral tribes before they went to Egypt. The Chinese, though they boast of a civilization dating back before the Egyptians, have no right to claim that, and though they have a-peculiar civilization of their own they are not yet a civilized people in the European and highest sense of the term. Egypt made some progress in the arts of building, sculptrre agriculture and even in literature, The Pyramids and her vast and gorgeous temples attest this. These structures show, too, some knowledge of science as well as a good deal of art. Siill, massive and enduring as these are, they are comparatively rude and lack the highest character of art. They show also that the mass of the people were ignorant slaves, and that state of things was incompatible with a high civilization. The same remarks apply to the great Babylonian and Assyrian empires. Their civilization was much of ‘the same cha- racter. The Jews were in advance of all the people of ancient times in the superiority of their religion and in their code of civil and moral laws, but from their exclusiveness, their peculiar theocratic system and narrow views, they never attained great proficiency in science and art. The Greeks reached the highest point of civilization in ancient times. Their superb structures and exquisite sculp- debate, but they could not get an even vote on the straight question of guilty or not guilty. Axoruer IsnumMaN MurpER is reported. A young thief entered an old man’s store in Hudson street last night and became abusive, whereupon the old man attempted to put him out and was instantly stabbed to the heart with a shoemaker’s knife by the young vil- lain, who dragged him to the door and gave him another stab. A policeman was on hand and the murderer was arrested. So it goes in ture have nover been surpassed, and have re- mained the models of beauty and skill for all succeeding ages. It was in Greece, too, that the democratic and republican principles of goverament arose and received their develop- ment, Not only wore the arts of peace and war known there; not only had literature, phi- losophy, poetry and eloquence reached the highest poiat, but science, which distinguishes in such a remarkable manner the present age, began to be unfolded there. Rome, that mighty Power of the past, took the various phases of preceding civilizations and moulded and adapted them to her own peeuliar circum- stances. Rome became great also in art, particularly in the art-of war, and greater than any former nation in statesmanship, in her admirable laws, and in government. The literature of Rome, too, like that of Greece, will exist forever, to show the civilization attained in those times. From the period when Rome deslined the world passed through a long night of intellectual darkness and stag- nation. It was not until England began to emerge from feudal and religious despotism, till the free commercial cities of Italy sprang into existence, and till commerce began its civilizing influence, that the light of the past revived and that a new light began to shed its power over Europe. We might notice the pro- gress made from that period, the discoveries in science, the intellectual giants—such as Newton, Shakspeare and others that ilumi- nated the world—the spread of navigation and commercial enterprise to all parts of the globe, with the discovery of America ; but these would not come within the limits of an editorial article, and every reader of history is familiar with the facts, All the events and progress to which we have adyerted seem to point to these latter days, and appear to have been ordained by Providence as preparatory to this new age—to the wonderful developments of the nineteenth centiry. The civilization of Greece or Rome— and that was the highest of ancient times—can- not be compared with ours of the present day. The most intellectual people of former times never dreamed of the magnetic tele- graph, of that steam power which now circum- navigates the globe and unites all the nations of the world, of the railroad which spans con- tinents and covers the territory of all civilized nations like network, and of that wonderful printing press which diffuses intelligence all over the earth, like the light of the sun and almost as rapidly. Thecontinents which now hold instantaneous converse with each other through submerged threads of wire were not known even to the ancients. Countries and people remote from each other are brought in communication more easily than neighboring towns were a few years ago. Look also at the thousands of inventions in machinery, which perform more work than all the combined labor of mankind could, and at the manufac- tures, which have given a new phase to life and which have enlarged com- merce to a degree that no one formerly could have believed possible, We might refer to the almost godlike power of man in modern times in exploring the bowels of the earth and realms of space, in counting the years of age of the globe, in anflyzing the this great city that abounds in charities and churches and schools, but lacks that stern, unflinching administration of the law that checks murder in its inception. rays of the sun and telling the composition of that body, and in all the astonishing dis- coveries in chemistry and other branches of science, as evidence of the incomparable +| superiority of the present over every preced- ing age; but it {s only necessary to call atten- tion to facts so well known. The most impor- tant feature of our modern civilization, how- ever, is the social and political revolution which has been effected and which is still going on. In all former times and under every phase of their civilization the masses of the people have been little improved or their Condition ameliorated. Most of the ancient republics even were oligarchies, where 4 privileged few governed and the majority had no voice in the government. Now the righta and rer of the people are generally ac- know! $ yes, éven under monarchical forms of government, where concessions of political rights have to be wrung from the rulers, Under the potent influence of the telegraph, press, steam communication and the other agencies of this age the masses of mankind are becoming enlightened, the principles of political equality are boing uni- versally diffused, and rulers in all civilized countries have to yield to the voice of the people. Still, we see only the dawn of the future. The mighty revolution has only com- menced. All the nations and races of man- kind will be brought in close communication with one another, intelligence will be univer- sally diffused, modern civilization will spread over the whole face of the globe, political power will be used through and for the benefit of the masses, the financial theories and sys- tems of the past will be revolutionized and science will unveil more and more the secrets of nature, This is no fancy picture, These must be the inevitable results of modern pro- gress. We have entered upon this new and wonderful age, and both in the development and advantages of it our own country is des- tined to be foremost. We might,well rejoice, like Simeon of old, that we have lived to see this salvation and the glories of this nine- teenth century. The Pope and the Emperor. Of all the reports which we have had from Rome regarding infallibility the most impor- tant by far are the latest, which state that the Archbishop of Algiers has Jeft Rome for Paris for the purpose of ascertaining the views of the Emperor on the dogma of the personal infalli- bility of the Pope, and that ‘‘the Pope has yielded to France and withdrawn the project of infallibility.” It is impossible to exag- gerate the importance of these announcements. The Pope is trembling. He has no royal or imperial pillar on which to"lean, He is pain- fully alone. If the eldest son of the Church would help him he would help the eldest son, The Church is in trouble. Napoleon could do much to relieve it of all its difficulties, Will he sanction infallibility? If he does the Holy Father may yet be in Paris, and Napoleon the Third may before he dies become the Lord’s anointed. The Council began by despising the temporal princes. It began in the spirit that of old brought emperers, barefoot and on naked knees, for forgiveness and a blessing. This mission of the Archbishop of Algiers shows to all the world that the times have sadly, perhaps badly, changed. The tables are completely turned. Tho Emperor is now greater than the Pope. Is Napoleon up to the high réle of Charlemagne? Now is his chance, Will he again surprise the world? We wait to see. Naval Appropriations—Discharge of Workmen, Thirty-six hundred workmen were ordered to be discharged yesterday from the Brook- lyn, Charlestown and Philadelphia Navy Yards by Secretary Robeson, on the ground that the appropriation to pay them was ex- pended. He has, however, modified his order so as to retain certain workmen in the con- struction and steam engineering departments and engaged on steam launches, provided Congress will permit him to transfer a million dollars from one bureau to another. These sweeping discharges were no doubt intended to be an answer to Mr. Dawes’ speech on the extravagance of the Navy Department, but they fall short of their purpose. Mr. Dawes, when urging retrenchment, did not mean to have it take place in the important departments, like the Bureau of Construction, nor did he or Congress intend that the blow should fall so directly or heavily on the gov- ernment employés. If the Appropriation Committee had been informed by Secretary Robeson that the appropriation for the Navy Yards was expended they would have imme- diately appropriated enough, and Mr. Dawes, no doubt, would have engineered the move- ment. The Tue Proposzep REMOVAL OF THE CAPITOL from Washirgton is likely to We brought soon to a test vote. The Committee on Public Buildings propose to report a bill for the building of a new State Department. Then the Washington people will have their doubts removed, we hope, instead of their Capitol. IMPROVEMENT ON A GRAND SoaLE.—The latest proposition for facilitating uptown travel involves the newest notion yet. This is nothing less than a grand iron arcade over Third avenue, the Bowery and Chatham street, to extend the whole length of the city above the City Hall, with three rail tracks on top of the arcade. -This rather exceeds the plan of the Greenwich street elevated railway, which is content with one side of the street and one set Of pillars, In this new proposition, as we un- derstand it, there is only the framework of an arcade, and it would be something of an im- provement of the plan to fill the intervals with glass, and give us on a grand scale one of those covered streets that are not an un- common feature of several European cities. With a glass archway stretching over its whole width the Bowery would once more become the rival of Broadway as the great centre of retail trade. More Gas Caartzrs WantEp.—One more gas company is before the Legislature seeking to have that body give into the possession of the said company all the upper part of this island on about the same conditions which other companies hold other parts of the city. We hope that some one in the Legislature will examine pretty closely the terms of this new privilege. Undoubtedly a good gas com- pany is a great public advantage, but the monopoly given is so great that it should be most atringently restrained from every possible abuse, The War in Cuba—Rough Work for the Spaniards, The armuies sent out from Spain seem to melt away in the island of Cuba, as the rivors from the mountains disappear in the sands of the Arabian desert. .A month ago, from all that could be gathered on the island in the way of information by Mr. Plumb, the insurrection was at an end, or so near the last ditch as to be reduced to a few straggling bands of gue- rillas inthe mountains; but from the news which we publish this morning it would appear that the revolutionists are still able to grapple with and’ defeat a Spanish force of two or three thousand men, On Christmas day General Puello left Nuevitas with a force of three thousand men, promising to make short work of the ‘‘insur- gent rabble” in their mountain retreats. On New Year's day he was met, “‘tackled” and defeated by General Jordan, the Spaniards suffering a logs of thirty-six officers and four hundred men killed and wounded—a very con- siderable battle and a very important victory for the Cubans. It breaks up Puello'’s campaign and gives Jordan (pro- moted to the supreme command of the liberals) a pretty fair opening for cutting up the Spanish detachments in detail. The pros- pect now is that there will still be much fight- ing and bloodshed in the island before the Cubans are subdued; and still the question recurs, is it really impossible for the govern- ment of the United States to do anything to bring this bloody business to an end? Is General Grant so tied up in red tape that he can move neither hand nor foot to extricate himself or Spain or the Cubans from this diplomatic entanglement? Has he given up Cuba as a Gordian knot which cannot be untied, with the indefinite postponement of the Alabama claims? We think that some reso- Yation of inquiry in Congress to-morrow would probably result in throwing a little light on both these subjects. Paraguayan Disclosures. A work has recently made its appearance in Paris which has attracted no little attention. It purports to throw additional light on the Para- guayan question, and demonstrates pretty clearly the tactics adopted by the Emperor of Brazil to draw Uruguay and the Argentine Confederation into an alliance for offensive measures against the little republic of Para- guay. The heroic and stubborn resistance of Lopez, the Paraguayan President, has proved to the allies by this time that the task they have undertaken is far more formidable than was anticipated. The powerexerted by Brazil over the allies was such that they found that although immediate self-interest might sug- gest co-operation with the ambitious schemes of Brazil, there was an evident feeling among the people of the two republics that the policy adopted was an unwise one. Recent events sustain this opinion, and the late exhi- bitions of feeling in’Montevideo and Buenos Ayres show very plainly that the war against Paraguay was not popular. In the testimony of Benigno Lopez, the youngest brother of President Lopez, we find some startling dis- closures, which, if true, show that Lopez has had more to dread from concealed enemies in his own circle than he had from the avowed hostile intentions of the allies. In the testi- mony alluded to Minister Washburn’s name occupies a conspicuous place. Grave state- ments are made that some two hundred thou- Sand doliars passed into the Amerioan Minis- ter’s hands. Other statements follow, very serious in their nature, which, if correct, point out the numerous obstacles which Lopez hashad to contend against, and prove him to be aman of remarkable ability in being able to successfully contend against them all. As we publish in another column this phase of the Paraguyan question, the reader will have an opportunity of obtaining new light on this knotty entanglement prominently known as the Paraguayan war. An Anti-SLavery Revororna came off in Boston the other evening. If these anti- slavery people, now that slavery is dead and gone, can think of nothing better to do than to harp upon that old string of the abglition agi- tation, we would suggest that they turn their attention to the condition of the operatives in the New England factories. Perhaps they might find in those institutions a fine fleld for their philanthropy. Toe Ouivizk Muustry—Its Finsr Svo- oxss.—The debate in the French Chambers on‘ the commercial treaties between Great Britain and France, and which was brought to a close on Wriday, reveals two things—first, the strength of Napoleon, and second, the strength of the Ollivier Ministry. M. Ollivier pro- claimed himself in favor of the commercial treaties. Hedid so openly and like a true man. From a parliamentary point of view, his speech was open, honest, daring, almost toa fault. But the vote which sustained the government—201 against 32—was so sweeping that we have no longer any reason to deny that Napoleon under constitutional govern- ment is as strong as he was under the one man system. Uptothe present moment M. Ollivier has done well. His is a peculiarly difficult position; but he seems to be fully equal to all its requirements. Comine Home To Roost.-—It is no doubt a serious evil and a demoralization of our repub- lican system for a party to legislate its crea- tures into office, or in any manner to so change the appointments to office by legislation as to break up a recognized system for the further- ing of party purposes. Two or three’ projects of this sort are now before the Legislature. By one it is proposed to take away the patron- age from certain offices now filled by republi- cans and give this same patronage to offices now filled by democrats. This teaches the people that offices are erected not for the good of society, but only to make places for politi- cians, This evil was introduced into our politics by the republican party, and the democracy adopts it. Docrors DisaGrex.—In a case in one of the courts the other day a Doctor Rogers sued for the amount of his bill, $123; and it must have been a consolation to the parenta of the child treated, which had died, that six @octors swore the treatment did not kill it, 9 in Jerecy. The nation has genom gots tye Bad the habit of making a buttm “ .. ing her pretensions and giving _ gly for anything much except her 6p%~ “+4 lightning. But Jorsoy has for a long ™%4 been quietly and unostentatiously asserting her equality with all of us. She has bec® working effectually to put her record above reproach, and she has been rapidly rising above the slurs which her grand old demo- cratic record should long ago have squelched, until now she commands our ualimited respect and jeers at Jersey are out of place. The capstone of Jersey's monument to her own self-respect has been placed in position by the unswerving impartiality of her judges, Judge Randolph, in the Court of Sessions in Jersey City, on Friday sentenced two burglars to imprisonment, one for twenty and the other for ten years, for a burglary in which they carried off clothing valued at one hundred and twenty-five dollars. * The sentence may be con- sidered rather severe in this locality, where the offenders might have been let off scot free; but that the Jersey Judge did not think so may be inferred from the fact that he told the prison- ers before sentencing them that the sentence of death would be the only. adequate punish- ment for their offence. We ought to say, how- ever, that but for the presence of a gang of New York rowdies, who were present in the court room to rescue their pals, the Judge might have beea even more merciful; but representing the majesty of Jersey justice, as he did, he was not to be put down by an exhibition of force on the part of New York ronghs, Jersey justice has long been a bugbear to the thieves, and this last administration of it will probably scare out the race altogether. It will undoubtedly warn New York thieves to shinny on their own side, and that is where the trouble afflicts us. Captain Hawtree tells Old Eccles in ‘‘Caste” to go over to Jersey and drink himself to death. He did not mean our Jersey, but the remark would have been fully as appropriate if he had. Now we should like to induce those of our old burglars who have had the luck so far to escape Judge Bedford, to go over to Jersey and get them- selves locked up for ten or twenty years. Sustio, Hell Gate. We give in another column an account of the great labors now in progress at Hallett’s Point for the removal of the rocks that obstruct the eastern entrance to New York harbor. It will be seen that the operations under General Newton promise to realize by next summer a great point in the improvement, The plan of these operations is to run g tunnel from the land or froma coffer dam under the rocky promontory of Hallett’s Point, and, by a mine at the end of this tunnel, to destroy the largest single mass of rock at that place. The feasi- bility of this plan is apparent, as are also the labor and care that will be necessary to carry it to a safe conclusion. It is the first step taken fn the attack on Hell Gate that does not rest upon some doubtful theory of mechanics, but upon known laws of the definite applica- tion of force to mass, With such a plan fairly in operation we may be certain that a great point will be gained in improving the naviga- tion there, and equally certain if the same direction is continued that channel will bo opened through which the largest ships may safely ang easily pass. This success will dispose of the project to cut a ship canal across the town of Astoria, connecting the water beyond Hallett’s Point with that part of the East river betweon Blackwell's Island and Long Island. At least, with the Hell Gate rocks away, the only purpose sucha channel could answer would be by acting as a sluice to take off the force of water that drives so rapid a current around Hallett’s Point. The canal would probably do this; but it is quite doubtful whether this benefit would justify the enormous expense. It is not probable that we can have such a channel and the Hell Gate improvement also; and if we must choose it seems very clear that the whole weight of argument is in favor of the Hell Gate opening. The European Mails—Old World Politics and Progress. The mails from Europe supply a compro- hensive report in detail of our advices by cable telegrams to the 18th of January. The budget, which is varied in its contents and of a very interesting character, affords an insight to many of the principal causes which were either moving or controlling the Old World peoples at that time, besides presenting a pretty sound basis for accurate, unprejudiced inferences as to their probable sequences. The initial of the great free trade agitation, both in Eagland and France, is noted, so that it can be easily seen where the peoples are likely to stand, and that at an early date, on the question of commercial protection. The Right Honorable Mr. Forster, a member of the Gladstone Cabinet, addressed the people of Bradford on the important subjects of the rela- tions of Queen Victoria. to France, the Irish Church bill, Irish radicalism and revolutionism, free trade, the Alabama claims and the attitude of the British people towards America, in a speech which will command an amount of attention equal to that afforded to the recent utterances of John Bright, and thus prepare our readers for an intelligent discus- sion of the many important issues which will be presented to the English Parliament on and after the 8th of February. Premier Ollivier'’s Cabinet position was sharply attacked and ably defended in the French Legislature during a debate which we report. The Bonaparte-Noir tragedy and its consequences afford newspa- per matter of very considerable interest. French radiealism, British democracy and Irish revolutionism are thus treated side by side in our columns, so that the readers of the Heratp. can easily perceive that the world really ‘‘m. oves,” politically and materially, the old lands gravitating more and more, both in idea, interest and the means of communication towarda the youngest and freest nation of alt. A Brack of RepupiaTors.—Mungen has made a convert of Golladay to his repudiation doctrine, and the question was discussed with such great spirit among the democratic mem- bers of the House yesterday that the word although three doctors swore that it did. With such a handsome majority in favor of the treatment they of course could mot entertein any doubt of its innocence “cowardice” was bandied between them, aad Mr, Golladay even suggested that there were other places where the statement could be made good. 4 Vek | Drews Fashions from Paris. Our special fashions correspondent in. Paris, dating on the 10th of January, reports the various styles of dress costume prevailing in that attractive centre of idea for the modistes of the outside world on the 10th of January. We had just elaborated in our columns the varlenies of material, color and make up which were to be geen wornin and around Cairo, Egypt, when the people threw their biblical ixnoestorg completely inthe shade during the viveregal poten by showing that they could cloth themsel:e3 in “purple and fine linen” every day, althoug," their revered and much honored progenitors yowely escaped from the original fig leaf to the rea! and frst: condition of Miss Flora McFlimey wa.°" She declared that she had “‘nothing to wear.” From Rome we have told of the gorgeous train wtih was worn by Pope Pius the Ninth, of the mal ficent vestment habits of the cardinals, and 0 the splendid scene which was witnessed in the galleries of the Church of the Vatican as bis Holiness swept along to’ the High Altar to celebrate the religious services of the Council and of Christmas, proclaiming all the while the non sum dignus, althongh the Pope and the members of the congregation were well aware that St, Peter had not a hat on his head or @ second cont for his back when he cast away his fishing net to “follow” Him the Saviour as commanded. To-day we chronicle the Paris fashions for the new year—a happy combination and original in its illustration of the dress stylea impress for the year 1870, The imperial ball season was in full blast. .Bugénie’s New Year's robe is described. Pearls and lace, with gems of court and aristocratic chit-chat, abounded. Premier Ollivier was criticised as @ man out of fashion or above the bonds of the tailors by the youthful belles of the Tuileries, who were radiant in their ‘‘Nile river” toilets. There was a ‘‘fast party” preparing for the opening of the opera season, so that, notwith- standing Pierre Bonaparte, Rochefort, Traup- mann, the commercial treaties, Clarendon and the Pope, our special fashions letter to-day sparkles all over with wit and humor and gems and jewels, and will thus give hope, con- solation and esprit to the fair and brave on this side of the Atlantic. Tae Goxp Invesrication has resulted in some good in having cleared any doubt that might have remained as to General Grant’s complicity or as to the sell played upon the shrewd operators by Corbin, and yesterday General Butterfield gave his testimony, clear- ing away the dirt that had been flung upon him. Woman's Progress.—The woman's rights women, having calmly argued their point and demanded their rights, have now advanced so far as to get mad and feel insulted at the fuy- ther denial of them. The California Suffrage Convention express themselves in that way over the refusal of the Regents of the Califor- nia University to admit women students. Duets In Prosprot.—Ex-Mayor McCoppia, of San Francisco, and Mr. Belge, a member of the California Senate, are bent on fighting a duel. A challenge has been sent and accepted, and all efforts to compromise the matter have failed. Two Cuban editors also are trying to get up a duel in Key West, but so far the au- thorities have prevented them. PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE. Prominent Arrivals in This City Yesterday.

To rom Epitor OF THE HERALD:— ‘There-was a brief account published, I believe, in the HERALD some time sgo, of the presentation to the Holy Father at Rome, by Archbighop McCloskey, of an artificial gold fisn, from this diocese; bat in the chapter of accidents, brief as the account waa, it was incorrect, As a simple matter of justice, there- fore, to the institution from which the present was made, I hope you will publish this statement. [ learn from one of the graduating class of 1869 or the Academy (for young ladies) of the Sacred Heart, Manbattanville, that the essential facts im the case are these:—That thts artificiat gold tish was @ presens “got up” for Pio Nono by the pupils of sald academy ima general subscription; that this fish, of fine gold ‘was some eight or ten tuches in length, and was an exquisite work of art by Ball & Black; that it was filled with gold dollar pieces; that m its mouth was fixed @ beautiful diamond ring; that in the name of the puptis of the academy it was given in charge to Archbishop McClosky py oue of the graduating class; and that the Archbishop on receiving lt, in the course o/ some flattermg remarks, said “thas as this precious fish was too neavily aden to travel to Rome tn the water, it should go with him on and over the water.’! Why the pupils concerned chose this form of fish, for their offering to the Pope, may be explained by the last four verses of the Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew, which, referring to the Savior und some of his disciples, are as follows:— : e to Capernanm, they that re- cated ee ney [iho Roman provincial internal reverie tax}came 10 Peter, and sald, Doth not your master pay tribute? Yes. And when he waa come into the house, jeu erente him, saving What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom'do the kings Gf the earth take cuatom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers? 98. Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free. 91. Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast ahook, and take up the fish ‘hat tirst cometh up; aad when thou hast opened bis mouth, thou sbait find a piece of money [a sat-, «coin equal to about sixty American con jd valuation); that take, and give unto ‘them for rae and thee, ‘Thia fish from the young ladies of the Mapnattan- ville Academy of the Sacred Heart was, then, a retty idea; and of ali the presents received by the Pope from the members of the Koumenteal Council | he pronounced this the moat beautiful. 5 ‘ 4
