His Holiness Pope Pius [X. has suffered a re- lapse and is again prostrated in health and con- Gned to his bed by sickness. The Pope was born on the 13th of May, in the year 1792. He is, conse- quently, on the eve of the eighty-first year of his age. This fact, coupled with the knowledge of the pain which he has already endured, physicaily and mentally, causes a considerable amount of anxiety, even alarm, in the public mind with re- gard to the issue of the present attack, despite the fact that it is announced from the Vatican that the Pope to-day received a party of forty-five pilgrims from France, and made a long reply to their ad- dress. PROPHECY AND THE PAPACY. The Prophecy of St. Malachy and Other Prophecies Concerning the Termina- tion of the Roman Pontificate. St. Malachy, Archbishop of Armagh, Ireland, died in 1148, Jeaving aiter him, it ts said, an amaz- ing prophecy in regard to the Popes. ‘This pro- phecy, it has been -held, contains the number of all the Pontiffs that were to rule the Church after Malachy’s time. The enumeration contains 101 Popes, and each of these Popes is expressed, not by name, but by an epigrammatic Latin sentence by which * ‘he could be at once personally distinguished. The one hundred and first Pope ts described as “Crux de Cruce,” and, by general accord, this designation Oite Pius 1X, “Crux de Cruce” meang a cross from ® Cross, and this is understood to signify crucial Persecution from a king, whose chief royal emblem is the cross. Victor Emmanuel is such a king. His crown is surmounted by the cross, and he certainly has inflicted cructal sorrows on Pius IX. Such is the argument by which St. Malachy’s prophecy on his one hundred and first of the Pontifts is crowned with realization. And this is by no means whatever the only fulfilment the Malachian foresight has obtamed. These prophecies were trst published in Rome in 1595, that is 450 years aiter Malachy’s death, and their editor, a Besedictine monk, named Arnold Wion, gave an account of where be got them. But they made an extraordinary sensation. ‘These prophecies vegin with Celesti II., in 1143, We hereby append them in the order in which they rat saw the light, putting aiter each of them the Bpplication, or fulfilment that has verified it, It will be remembered, as stated above, that each Pope in the list is designated or expressed by a short Latin sentence. Whe Prophecies of Malachy, with Their Application. First.Celestine II. was pre-described in the ‘words, “Ex Castro Tiberis,"’ that is, from the Uas- “tle of the Tiber. ‘This nicely hit the mark, for Celestine was de- Scended trom the Castelli famliy, and he was born — oe city of Castello, which 18 in the vicinity oj e Tiber. Second.—LuciusIl., the next Pope, was pre-called “Ipimicus ee oras which means the hunted foe. The family name of Lucius was Caccianemici, ne is Italian for the two Latin words conterred on him. Third.—Eugentus IlI., the next Pope, got the line, “EX magnitudine montis”—irom the sdmmit of the moun! pogene was born in Montemagno. Not @ poor foresight. Fourth.—Anastasius IV., the succeeding Pontiff, | ‘Was pre-announced in the Words “Abbas Suburra- | nus”—the Abbot of the Suburra. An excelient hit, Anastasius held tne place of Abbot ai Velietri, and his family name was suburra, Fivih.—The next Pope was Adrian IV. He got the three words, “De rure alvo.”” This signities— from the Aiban village. Adrian was born im a sinall village hear the mouastery OJ St. Aibans, in England, Stxih.—Victor IV., an anti-Pope, succeeds Adrian. His designation was “ ex-tet’o carcere,” from the | horrid prison, This anti-Pope had been Cardinal of St. Nicalo in Carcere—of St. Nicholas of the prison. Not a bad hit at ali for an anti-Pope. Seventh.—The Seventh Pope was aiso an anti-Pope —Pagcal Ill, He was pre-depicted in the line “ Via ‘Transtwerena’’—the street or road of Trasterne. Pascas oad been Cardinal of St. Callistus, in Tras- terne, that is, of St. Callistus beyond the Tiber, Not bad certainly. Bighth.—The eighth Pope, too, was an anti-Pope, Callistus I. The prophetic sign of him was “De Pannontal Tuscial’—irom Hungary of Tusenlum— Which was very good. Callistus was a Hungarian by birth, and when he aspired’to be Pope, he was Cardinal bishop of Tusenium, Ninth.—The hext Pope was Alexander IH. The brand he got was “Ex ausere custode”—trom the | guardian goose. The Italian for goose is “‘papero." The goose, it need not be stated, has a prominent place in early Roman history, and the surname of Alexander was Paperone. The A hit, therefore. Tenth.—The tenth Pontiff was Lucius III, propet foretold him inthe words, “Lux in Ostio"— the light of Ostia. Lucius was a native of Luce: and he was Cardinal Bishop of Ostia. Another de- cided hit. Eleventh.—The next Holy Father was Urban IIL He was pre-designated “sus in Crebo”’—the sow in the sieve, “Crivelli” is Italian for sieve, Pope Urban was @ scion of the Crivelli family of Milan, and the sow was quartered in the arms of the house. Malachy’s eye Was wide open on that occa- jon—that is clear. 4 —The next Pope was'Gregory VIII. His esignation was “Ensis Laurentii’—the Sword of Lawrence. Gregory was Cardinal of San Lorenzo, aud the escutcheon of bis family was two swords, one cri the other, Another excellent bit for the prophet J recenth.—The thirteenth Ponti was Clement Ul The Prophet described him, “De Schola exiet”’—he will rise from the schoo. Clement II. belonged to the Scolari aay of Rome. Not ex- traordivary, but not wretched either. Fourteenth.—The fourteenth Pope was Celestine UL The mark put down for him was “be rure bovensi’—from the Bovensian village. We cannot discover the ae eee here. FUleenth.—The succeeding Pontiff was Innocent Il, Malachy, or wéoever wrote in Malachy'’s name, calied Innocent “Comes Signatus’—ihe dilustrious Count. Innocent was son to the Count of Legni, = eminent Koman jamily. Anotier rk for the seer, a —The next Pope in the line was Hono- rius Lil. The words put down for him were, “Ca- nonicus de Latere’—Canou of the Lateran. The nce is in the fact that Honerius had dragon under the heel, or struck down. Clement oar Se with tne seer by having on his escutcheon a dragon in the talons of an eagle, As- suredly this was no bad penetration, Twenty-ihird.—The twenty-third Pope was Greg- ory X. He was foreshadowed in the words, “An- Ghee vir” a serpentine man. Gregory was a isconti, ® family which had the serpent in the coat of arms, Rather sharp. Twenty-jourth.—The twenty-fourth Pope was Innocent V. His designation was “Concionator Gallus”—the French preacher. Innocent was a Frenchman and a monk of the Order of Preachers. ‘This is onc of the best yet. Twenty-fyih.—The twenty-fifth Pope was Adrian Vv. The prophet announced him with the compli- ment, “Bonus Comes’’—the good Count. Adrian was first kuown by the name of Ottobono—good Otho; aad his iather was Count of Lavagna, not over brilliant, but suite worthy of consideration, Twenty-sixth.—The twenty-sixth Pope was John XXL John got the designation “Piscator Tuscus”— the Tusculan fisherman. ‘his Pope was first actually called the Tusculan fsherman, and before he be- came Pope he held the see of Tusculum. Twenty-seventh.—ithe twenty-seventh Pope was Nicholas III, He was called “Rosa Composita?— the composite rose. Nicholas had the rose in his arms, Twenty-cighth.—The next Pope was Martin IV. Some accident has happened to the mark put down for him, At least we have not been abie to ind it, Twenty-ninth.—The twenty-ninth Pope was Honorius IV. The fore-brand he got was, “Ex Roso Leonina”—from the rose of the lions, The family of Honorious had @ rose and two lions for a coat of arms, Assurediy the prophet deserves credit here, Thdrtieth.—The thirtieth Pope was Nicholas IV. The prophecy is missing. Thirty-one.—the thirty-first Pope was Celestine V. For him were written the words, “isxtremo cel- sus’”’—elevated {roma hermi:."” Celestine was & hermit monk in Perugia, and he was elected white in his grotto or cell without his knowledge. is plain that the prophet saw him ciearly. Thirty-two.—The thirty-second Pope wus Bont- face VIL The prophet pre-deciared him in the words, “Ex undarum benedictione’—irom the benediction of the waves. The Christian name of Boniface was Benedict, and his family arins con- tained waves. Was not that good ? Thirty-three.—The thirty-third Pope was Benedict XL The description given of him was ‘‘Conciona- tor Patarus’’—the preacher of Patara, Benedict was a Dominican—that is, a monk of the Order of Preachers, and Patara was his native place. We should like to see that excelled. Thirty-fourth.—The thirty-iourth Pope was Clement V. His prophecy is not to be had at present. Thirty-fsth.—The thirty-fifth Pope was John XXII, Prophecy missin; Thirty-sixth.—ihe thirty-sixth Pope was Nicholas Vv. He got the designatio: “Oorvus Schismati- cus”—the schismatic raven, This Nicholas was an anti-Pope, that is, a schismatic, A hit surely, Thirty-seventh.—The thirty-seventh Pope was Benedicc XI], He was thus announced :—‘“Frigidus Abbas’’—the frigid abbot, Bencdict realized the prophecy by having been a Cistercian Abbot at Fontetreddo-i,e,, the cold, or frigid spring. A clear point for the prophet. Ti soy Oar ga agit thirty-eighth Pontiff was Clement Vil. He was depicted:—“De Kosa Albre- batensi’’—from the rose of Arras. Clement came from the family of Beaufort, which had six roses in the coat of arms, and he had been Bishop of Array, A most decided hit. Thirty-ninth.—The thirty-ninth Pope was I1iz0- cent V1. hands ie for him was, “De montibus Pammachii. We are unabie to make out the appil- cation in this instance. Fortieth,—The tortieth Pope was Urban V. He was thus set forth:—‘“Gallus Vicecomes”—the French Visconti, or Viscount. Urban was a French- man, and he once served Innocent IV. as Nuncio to the Visconti, governors of Milan, The prophet wins again. : Forty-jirst.—The forty-first Pope was Gregory XI. He was put down in the words:—“‘Novus de vir- gine forti’—a pew man from the strong virgin. cardinal of Santa Maria Nuovo. very. good. Forty-second.—The forty-second Pope was the Quti-Pope Clement VII. le was described :—De oxtoe Apostolica’’—from the Apostolic Cross. This aptl.Pope had been cardinal of the Church of the ‘Twelve Apostles, and he made the cross his arms, Very good again. Forty-ti ---The Pe ade Pope was another anti-Pope named Benedict XiIL ie mark given to him was, “Lana Cosmedina’—the Cosmodene moon. Benedict’s proper name was Luna and at one time he was Cardinal of the Church of St. Mary Cosmedin. Also very good. Forty-sourth.—The forty-tourth Pope was an anti- Pope named Clement VIIL The stigma of the prophet ior him was, ‘Schisma Barchinonium’’— the Schism of Barcelona. Clement was @ native of Barcelona. Can that be beaten? Forty-j/th.—The forty fifth Pope was Urban VI. He was delineated in the words :—“De Inferno Prig- nani’—irom the Inferno of Prignani. Urban'‘s family name was Prignani and his native place was called Inierno. ‘Good, certainly. Forty-sizith.—The torty-sixth Pope was Boniface IX. Prophecy not to be found. Forty-Seventh.—the forty-seventh Pope was In- noceut VII. He was pre-announced in the words :— “De meliore sidere’—from a better star. Inno- cent’s surname was Migliorati, and be had a star on hisarms. A hit. ate forty-eighth Pontiff was Gregory XII. The prophecy is missing. Ninth.—The forty-ninth Pope was Alexan- Forty-. der V. The prophecy for him was “Flagellum Solis’—the scourge of the sun. Alexander had for his coat of arms a sua, which, with its rays, struck and, as it were, flagellated the planets sur- rounding it. A decided success. Fiftieth.—The fifueth Pope was John XXIII. For him was written, “Cervus Sirenz.” We have not succeeded in discovering @ happy application of this prophecy. Fisty-prst.—The fiity-first Pontit? was Martin V. The prophetic epigram for him was “Qorona Veli Aurle’’—the crown o! the veil of goid, Martin had been Cardinal of St. George in Velabro, and there Was a golden veil on the arms of the family. Can- not be easily excelled. Fi ,—The fifty-second Pope was Euge- nius IV, He | ag the words—*Lupa Celestina”, the celestine wolf, Eugene carried out the prediction by having a wolf on the escutcheon of the family. and by becoming a canon of the congregation of Celestines. Was not that to the point ? Fifty-third.—The fifty-third Pontiff was Felix V., an anti-Pope. The prophet designated him “Amator Crucis’—the lover of the cross. This Felix was Duke of Savoy under the title of Amadeus Vil, The words Amadeus and Amator are In agreement; and a cross was the coat of arms of Savoy. A tirst rate foresight. Fifty-fourth—The fifty-iourth Pontiff was Nicholas Vv. He was preannounced in the words, ‘De Modi- citatal Lun&'’—irom the littleness of the moon, Nicholas came frum an obscure family, and his birth place Was Luni. Quite good. Futy-Utr.—The flity-fitth Pope was Callistus IIT. He ‘was called “Bos pascens"—the grazing ox. Callistus had in his escutcheon a grazing bullock. Who can beat that? Pifty-sizth.—the fifty-sixth in the line was Pius IL He was foreshowed in the words—"“De Capra et Albergo”—from the goat and the hostelry. Pius II. was secretary in turn to Cardinal Capranica and vo Cardinal Albergati. Evidently a superb hit. Capripica means like a goat and Albergati means publicans. Fifty-seven.—The fifty-seventh Pope was Paul Il. He was preannounced in the words:—“De Cervo et Leone’—from the stag and the lion. Paul once had charge of the Church of Cervia, and he was Cardinal of Sv. Mark, whose symbol is the lion. What can be more accurate’ Wisty-eighth.—The fitty-eighth Pope was Sixtus IV. ‘The seer designated him:—“Piscator Minorita’— the fisherman of the Minorites. Sixtus was the son of a fisherman and a monk of the Order of Mi- nors, Undoubtedly good. Fifty-nirth.—The fity-ninth Pope was Innocent VIU. He was foreshadowed in the words:—“Pree- cursor Sicilia”—the precarsor of Blelty. Innocent's Christian name was John Baptist, and he had been once a. employment at the Court of Sicily. A eat bit, . or Sirtieth.—The sixtieth Pontiff was Alexander V1. He was pre-depicted in the words, “Bos Albanus in Partu’—the Albanox at the gate. Alexander was a Borgia, and the Borgia family had an ox in their escutcheon ; and Alexander himself had been Car- dinal Bishop of Alba ox and of Porto, A noble hit. Sixty-first.—The sixty-first Pope was Pius ‘Ill. He was called “De parvo homine"—from the little man, His family name was Piccolomini, itis hard to beat that. Sixty-second,—The sixty-second Holy Father was Julius I], He got the line, “Tructus Jovis Juvabit’— he will enjoy the fruits of Jupiter. Julius haa on his escutcheon an oak and an acorn dedicated to the iather of Olympus. Jupiter himself could not have done it better. Sizty-third.--The sixty-third Pope was Leo X. This pa Pontiff was pre-announced tn the words, “De Craticula Pulfttano"—from the Pulitian grid- iron, Leo's teacher was @ scholar named “Angelo Puliziano; and the favorite Christian name of the family was Lorenzo or Laurence, adopted in henor or St. Laurence, who was martyred on an immense gridiron, A hit of the very first class. _ Sixty-fourth.—The sixty-fourth Pope was Adrian Vi. He was put down “Leo Florentine’—the Florentine lion. Adrian was made Cardinal by Leo X., who was a Florentine, and his own father’s name was Florence. Decidedly good, been ® Canon of the Lateran Church, Quite good foresight. —The seventeenth Pope was Gregory 1X. His, descr! mn was, “Avis Ostiensis’—the bird of Ostia. regory Was Bishop of Ostia, and the eagle was in his escutcheon, ‘e should like te » Bonivenihe— ius eighteenth Pontim was Celestine Sixty-ffth.—The sixty-filty Pope was Clement Vil. The prophecy ts not at hand. Sizty-sizth.—The sixty-sixth Pope was Paul IU. He was pre-designated in the words,—“Hyacintus medicorum"—the hyactwiee of the physicians, Paul belonged to the bouse of ‘Farnese, which had aix byaciathes for & coat of arms; and he had been MAY 6, 1873—QUADRUPLE SHEET. Cardinal Deacon of Saint Cosmos and St. Damian, both of whom were physicians by pro‘ession. De- eidedly excellent, Staty-seventh.—The sixty-seventh Pope was Julius TL He was anticipated in the words,—‘De coro- na Montana’’—from the crown, or summit, of the mountain. The family name of Julius was Monté, or mountain, and his coat of arms consisted of two crowns and three mountains. A true bit, Sixty-eighth.—The sixty-eighth Pope was Marcel- lus I, The a hecy 1s missing, Staty-ninth.—The sixty-ninth Pe was Paul IV. He was anticipated in the words, ‘De fide Petri’— from the faita of Peter. Paul’s name was Peter Caraifa; and he had much to do with the institu- tion of the Tribunal of Truth, generally called the ‘’ribunal of Holy Oftice. Good—at least, Seventicth.—The seventieth PontifY was Plus IV, The Prophet foretold him in these words, ‘Escu- lapii pharmacum’'—the medicine or physic of Escu- lapius. tius belonged to the Medici family, and pals plus Was the first medical doctor. Very ointed, 7 Seventy-first.—The seventy-first Pope was Pius V. He was designated “Angelus Nemorosus’—the angel of the grove. Pius had for Christian name Michael—which is the name of an archangel—aud he was born at a place called Bosco, which is Ital- tan for grove. By no means commonplace. Seventy-second,—The seventy-second Pope was Gregory XIll. The prophecy is malasing. Seventy-third.—The next Pope was Sixtus V. His prophecy 18 gis Seventy-fourth.—The seventy-fourth Pope was , Gregory's surname was Belforti, and he had been: Urban VI. He was pre-announced in the words, “De rore caeli’—from the dew of heaven.

The sign for him was “De antiquitate urbis’'— from the antiquity of the city. We cannot make out the application, Seventy-sirih,—The seventy-8ixth Pope was Inno- cent IX, He was Pree “Pia civitas in bello”’—the ptous city in war. Plus was a native of Bologna, a city of many religious institutions and often the victim of war. A true success, Seventy-seventh.—The seventy-seventh Pope was Clement VII, He was foreshadowed in tne words, “Crux Romulea’’—the Roman cross, Clem- ent’s family claimed descent from the first Roman Christians, and the family arms contained the cross. Good, Seventy-eighth.—The geventy-eighth Pope was Leo XI. Prophecy missing. Seventy-ninth.—The seventy-ninth Pope was Paul Vv. He was anticipated in the words, ‘Gens per- versa”’—a@ perverse or malignant race, Paul, & Borghese by family, had an eagle and a dragon on his escutcheon, which are perverse creatures enough for any one’s purpose. A very keen rophecy. E htteth.—The eightleth Pope was Gregory XV. He was pre-signified in the words, “In tribulatione pacis’’—in the tribulation of peace. Gregory was agreat Pope. He gave all Italy peace and pros- perity, ca raion ib long been in sore need, Another hi Tie pe! eget eighty-first Pontiff was Urban VIII, He was anticipated in the words, “Lilium, et rosa’’—the lilly and the rose. Urban’s coat of arms was three bees feeding on lilies and roses, One of the best. Eighty-second,—The eighty-second Pope was Inno- cent X. He got from the’rophet the words, ‘Ju- cunditas Crucis’—the joy of the croas. Innocent was crowned on the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross. Decidedly good. Eighty-third.—The olen te ening Pope was Alex- ander VII, He was pre shadowed in the words, “Custos Montium’—the guardian of the moun- tains, Alexander’s family had quartered on tts arms six mountains surmounted by a star. Evi- en the prophet made a good hit that time. Eighty fourth.—The eighty-fourth Pope was Clem- ent IV, He was was forecalled, “Sidus Olorum”— the Star of the Swans. Before Clement was made Pope he had a chamber known as the chamber of of the Swans. Not very good, but the seer might have done worse, Kighty-/fth.—The eighty-fifth Pope was Clement X. He was foretoid in the woras, “De flumine Magno"'—from the greatriver. We cannot discover the application, Eighty-sizth.—The eightygixth Pope was Inno- cent XJ, His prophecy was, “‘Bellua insatiabllis’— the beast insatiable of food. Innocent had two insatiable creatures on his escutcheon—the eagle and the lion—and he had himself the most tender atfection for his secretary of 8 Cardinal Cibo. “Cibo” is Italian for tood. A bril prophecy by’ all means. nty-seventh.—The vighty-seventh Pope was Alexander VIiL He was set forth in the words, “Gloriosa pmenetentia’'—glorious penance. We cannot ake out a good application. big inth.—The eighty-ninth Pope was Inno- cent Il. Malachy put him forward in the words, “Rastrum in porta’—the barrier at the port. In- nocent’s family seat was “Rastello,” which is Italian for barrier, and which is located near the -port of Naples. Decidedly good. » [The next seven Popes we omit. Their prophe- cies are very obscure in the pe Nenety-sizth.—The ninety-sixth Pope was Pius VI. He was pre-announced in the words, ‘Pelegre- neus Apostolicus’—the Apostolic pilgrim. ‘ius made a fatiguing journey, or pilgrimage, trom Rome to Vienna to change Joseph Il. from being a persecutor o/ the Church. Prophecy a real hit, Ni —The ninety-seventh Ponti’ was. Pius Vil. He was foreshadowed in the words, “Aquila Rapax’'—the rapacious fle. This Pope suffered grievous wrongs from Napoleon one, who may well be called a rapacious cape. A keen hit. (We pass over the tiree next Pontiffs. The ap- Plication of what was pre-announced of them ts not easily discovered.] * One Hundred and First.—We are now at Pius IX., the 101st Pope in the list. He Sst the pre-announce- ment “Crux de Cruce,’’ and this is explained above. Such are the prophecies and their applications, attributed to St. Malachy of Ireland, on the Popes of Rome. We do not assert he wrote them. They appeared first, as already stated, in 1595; and, cer- tainly, Whoever wrote them wrote them well. ‘They present the question, Is Pius LX. the last of the Popes? The World at the Deathbed of Pope Pius Ix. Is Pius 1X. the last of the Roman Pontiffs? The curious prophecy attributed to St. Malachy, Arch- bishop of Armagh, in Ireland, and who died in the arms ofthe “last of the fathers of the Church,” as the French proudly call Bernard of Clairvaux, dis- tinctly asserts—as will be seen from the extraordl- nary document itself reproduced in the HERALD to-day—that he is. In that alleged inspired dream the Irish patriarch gave the number of Popes that remained yet to come, giving to each of them an epigrammatic mark by which he could be concisely distinguished, and the sign he attached to the Pontiff who closes his hazardous enumeration corresponds, in @ remarkable degree, with the venerable Holy Father who, perhaps, at this instant has the death-rattle at the door of his chamber. That sign is the three Latin words, “Crux de Cruce,” which is interpreted by some Catholic authorities to signify the persecution of the cross from @ cross—that is, that the Pope suffers crucial afflictions from a royal power, which has the cross for the chief embiem on its escutcheon of authority. And this, as has been said, points the finger at Victor Emmanuel. In his kingly emblems the cross sur- mounts everything. If we mistake not, Father Garesché, a learned Jesuit priest, in a lecture which he lately delivered not far from New York, gave this interpretation as explicitly as fine lan- guage could make it to the “Crux de Cruce” of the ancient metropolitan of Armagh. The HERALD does not pretend to settle the authority of St. Malachy’s prophecies, But it is as clear as the sun in the meridian that the words “Crux de Cruce” are in singular agreement with the rela tions between Pius IX. and the first monarch of United italy. And that being the case, it is an in- teresting and serious question, 13 PIUS IX. THR LAST OF THE ROMAN PONTIFFS ? It is a startling question. Its proper form is, 1s the great Roman Catholic Church sentenced to death ? For, no Pope, no Catholic Church. Catnolicity can- not survive the Papacy for one second. And Catholicity is a thing of no small radius, diameter and circumference. St Malachy, therefore, or whoever wrote in his name, gave ground for putting & question of tremendous magnitude. A short time, however, will quite solve the curtous interrogation, for it cannot be long beiore the Holy See will have a new occupant or cease to be the great central religious altar of more than three-fourths of the vast population o1 Christendom, MATTERS OF GRAVE INTEREST FOR TIE CROWNS AND PEOPLES. In the meantime Pius IX. is, in all human prob ability, on his deatbbed; and the goble old man— with iace one of the finest Rome has witnessed for many a day—has the world watching at nis couch. THR WATCHERS. Let us see who these watchers are, The King of Traly has his mind on the spot with particular anx- tety of manne! Prince Bismarck, who, by recent statutes, has igh Priest of the Ger made the Emperor the people, and who ardentiy wishes that there y ver be another supreme head of the Catholics, is attending to the Roman telegrams, to the excle sion of every other duty, M.

Francis Joseph, of Austria, ts in constant com- munication with his Ambassador at the Vatican on the fluctuations in the health ofthe illustrious patient. The Count de Chambord, who once had impas- sioned hopes that Pius IX. would place the srown of St. Louw on his temples ana the sword of Hen! the Great in his hand, is in unfeigned grief ove! the apprehended dissolution of one for whose rights the royal blood in his veins was always ready to flo The Turk at Constantinople—the Prince of the ‘ohammed—esteemed this octogenarian Primate of ti had aever inspired Crusades to Og!

She congratu- lated him on the day he was filty years a priest; she congratulated him on the day he was twenty- five years a pope; when she learns he has expired she will give to his name and to his virtues, aud to the great office he so long filled, the good, private homage of her beart, Finally, all the churches feel the most intense in- terest in-thisdeathved.

He was and he is to them no self-made cleric, but the very vicar of God; grand to look at; thost nobie in his disposition; an angel in every virtue; @ second Prince of the Apostles in all respect the most outraged of all holy men, an the very idol of their hearts and understand- ings. hether the Catholic faith is true, or not true, this is the way the Catholic people of all the earth have centered their fondness on Pius IX; and sore are they within at learntng that his long reign over them is at last at its end; and when they shall read that he is no more, copious will be the tears that will flow from their eyes, broken will be the sobs with which they will pronounce ,his name, and ardent will be the prayers that will penetrate the clouds for the sanctification of his spirit, It is a splendid mark of religious faith and a@ splendid tribute to illustrious worth. Far be it from all to give it a wanton insult. These facts give an idea of the interest that is conoen tara on the sick couch or the deathbed of us THE KING OF ITALY, THE ANXIOUS NEIGHBOR OF THE SICK PONTIFF. But there is one watcher of this deatnbed whois entitled to special consideration. It is the King of Italy. He has long wished for the death of the Pope; for the Pope kept him long out of Rome, on which he set his heart, and now that he has Rome he is filled with uneasiness while the Pope lives. Well may he wish that the medieval prophet of Armagh, or who ever wrote in that ascetic metro- politan’s name, issued a true: prophecy when he made the Pope o: the “Crux de cruce’”’ designation the last of the Sovereign Pontitts, MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC NOTES, Mile. Ostava Torrtani, who is coming to this country next season with Mr. Strakosch, is de- scribed as having an excellent stage presence, and @ fine, sympathetic voice, which is well under control. Mr, Eno, the owner of the Filth Avenue Hotel, who had contemplated converting the burnt the- atre in Twenty-fourth street into a kitchen where French dishes instead of plays should be cooked, has now determined to rebuild it as a music hall, The Church Music Association will give the last concert of their season on Thursday evening at Steinway Hall, under the direction ot Mr. ©. E. Horsley, The following works will be performed :— Haydn's Symphony in minor, Weber's Mass in G, and “The Walpurgis Night,” Mendelssohn. The appearance of the Lydia Thompson Troupe at the Academy of Music last night was made before good house. The piece and the acting are famil- iar to the readers of the HgRap, the former being the well-known burlesque of “Blue Beard”, and the latter resting mostly upon Miss Thompson and Mr. Harry Beckett, Tis evening “Kenilworth” is the Piece, Mr. Beckett playing his very remarkable and very funny Queen Elizabeth, The new play now in rehearsal and soon to be pro- duced at the Fifth Avenue Theatre will probably be called “Madatein Morel”? itis by Dr. Mosenthal, of Vienna, and the scenes are igid in that city—a fortunate circumstance at this time, when so much interest is felt in the Austrian capital. The play is in five acts, three of which were saved from the fire in Twenty-fourth street, the other two being re-written by Mr. Daly partly from memory. He thinks the play superior to either “Article 47” or Alixe.” The cast will include Miss Morris and the strength of the company, Miss Neilson is now at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. having just returned from a very successful tour through the West. She begins her second engage- ment at Booth’s next week, appearing in her orig- inal character of Amy Robsart. The play is by Andrew Halliday and is founded on Sir Walter Scott's novel of “Kenilworth.” 1t was written for Miss Neilson and produced at Drury Lane in 1870, where the distinguished actress made a wonderful success in the part of Amy. The dramatic situa- tions of the piece are very strong and-the piece ends with a “sensation” in the fall of Varney from the drawbridge. In this ending of the play Mr. Halliday departs from Scott’s novel, making a more harmonious conclusion than the great novelist was in the habit of giving to his romances. A new sensation play, by Miss Mary Watson, called “Held in Check,” was produced at the Bow- ery Theatre last night und made quite a hit with the sensation lovers of the east side. It is more coherent in plot and dialogue than modern blood- and-thunder plays generally prove to be, and what with a railroad collision, im which the tremendous crash of the colliding trains was heard‘even as far as the footlights to the damage of one profile smokestack ; ‘‘a friendly tree, an impromptu bridge, @ death struggle on the edge of a cliff” and other exciting arrangements, the boys in every part of the house were delighted, and “Held in Check” will probably hold the boards of “Old Drury” for a fortnight or so, Mrs. W. G. Jones, Mrs, Meeker Miss Booth and Messrs. Marden, Meeker, Rooney and O'Neil appeared in the cast. The New York Catholic Choral Society gave a concert on Sunday evening at the French Church of St. Vincent de Paul. The attendance was very large, and the choir and apart of the adjoining galleries were crowded by the chorus and orches- tra, The main attraction was Gounod’s “Messe Solennelle” (St. Cecilia), InG major. It is written in three solo parts, and in four, six and eight parts in some of the movements for soli and chorus. The style ig a combination of old Italian and modern scnools, and the effect is indescribably grand. It received ample justice on Sunday night, Mr. Gus- tavus Schmitz, the eminent organist of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, ofciating as conductor. Mlle, Corradi sang a highly dramatic morceau, “The Vision of St. Cecilia,” and Herr Sohst’s fine bass voice gave ex- pression to Mariani’s “Invocatione a Dio.” M. Sauret played a couple of delicious violin solos, and the chorus completed the programme with Cheru- bini’s “Regina Cwll,” It Was an unqualified suc- cess throughout, and highly creditable to the con- ductor, whose labors at rehearsals and skill during the performance brought chorus and orchestra safely through a very diMcult work. The time draws near when we must lose forever the genius which came last Fall to illuminate the concert hall. Rubinstein commences, on Mon- day, the 12th inst.,a series of farewell recitals, consisting of six matinees and one evening per- formance. As befits the departure of @ giant, his last efforts will be more colossal than ever before during his visit to America. In the seven per- formances we find three works of J. 8, Bach, one of his son, P. E. Bach, three by Handel, one Haydn “andante,” four of Mozart’s charac. teristic morceauz, six Beethoven sonatas, three works by Schubert, four by Weber, 4 like contribu- tion by Mendelssohn, seven of Schumann's choicest pieces, eleven remifiiscences of the poet Chopin, @ nocturne or two by John Field, two Henselt waifs, two Thalberg fantasias, ten of the best thoughts of Liszt and seventeen carefully selected works by the great Russian pianist himself. Such a Titanic task, beginning with the master mind of the seven- teenth century, and leading the hearer through all the delightful scenes with which art is embellisned down to the present time, could only be accom. plished by genius. No one shottld fail to attend these farewell recitals, for every note which comes from the magtc fingers of Rubinstein is of more than golden value to the lover of true art, STAMPEDE OF BOYS FROM A REFORMATORY.

The surface of the * lowest of the present lakes is FOUR THOUSAND FEET ABOVE TOE SEA LEVEL, and owing io its clevation none of the land is suitable for jeueral agricultural purposes, but its comparatively shel- Fed position, Its Wutrilious grasses, roots and berries the abundance of Wo-ous and other "seeds and of small game, and the wild fowl and flsh which trequent the sur. face or abound in the waters of the lakes, make it a very cholce home for Indians. The Klamaths and Snakes occupied a country chief north of this and of the California line, which includ both of the Klamath lakes, and previous to 1864 all these Indians had been for years warring with the whites. It Was during that war the “murders,” now charged against the Modocs, were committed. In 1364 special United States commissioners were sont; in 1865 a treaty was made, setting apart for the Klamaths, Snakes and Mo- docs the present Klama: Teyervation.’ By, this treaty tho Indians coded. to, the United States from fifteen thousand to twefty thousand square miles of terri. tory for the comparatively small suip of $17,000 appropri- ated to the Klamaths and Modocs by the last Congress, The Klanaths and the Yahooshen and Walpahpe pands of the Snakes, and the head chief and that portion of the Modocs who joined in the treaty went upon the reser- yation according to agreement, although they received hone gt the beneiits promised’ by the government for more than) two years alter they continued and still con- tinue to kéep their own promises.

In the latter part of 1871, and before the recommenda- tions could be carried out, a change took place in the Oregon superinteadency. The present incumbent seems to have supposed it to be his duty to remove the Modocs tothe Klamath Reservation, and accordingly sought @ meeting with them for this avowed purpose. The Indians said it was “no use,” and refused to meet him, whereupon he requested the’ military officer at the ReaFost post tp remove them peaceably oF, forcibly..

The Young Men’s Universalist Association, hav ing been gt off from the privileges and intercourse of the tian Association of Young Men, be- cause of 8 lack of orthodoxy in their creed, three years ago organized an association of their own and opened a library and reading room tn a hall on Broadway, corner of Thirty-fourth street. They have had a precarious existence ever since, but now they seem to have taken a new lease of life, They have hired a house on the southwest corner of Sixth avenue and Thirty-third street, which they have fitted up from bottom to top as libraries, Treading rooms, reception parlors, smoking and conversation rooms, lecture room, offices and @ few sleeping rooms for young men. They have three floors thus arr: , neatly carpeted and furnished, and last ning the house was opened and the association received their friends in ap- propriate style.

Extensive preparations are making at the head of the terrace of the Central Park for the unveiling of the fountain modelled by Miss Emma Stebbins, of Rome. The bronze figures connected with this beautiful work, which will surpass anything of the Kind in this country, were cast in Munich, by the celebrated Muller, and are already in place, but concealed from public view by canvas coverings, ‘The engineers of the Park are engaged in arrang- the various pipes and jets to distribute the volume of water in the most pictaresqne and of fective manner, On the dual completion of this part of the work by the engineers a day will be named by the Commissioners when the work will ex] to public view.
