THE CATHOLIC JUBILEE. + Pope Pius the Ninth Completes His Pontifical Pledge. “1 Shall Not Die Until 1 Have Proclaimed the Jubilee.” The Bacyclical Letter to the Pastors and the Universal Flock. Discipline, Penance and the Re- mission of Sins. {Rome (Jan. 3) correspondence of London Times.} When, tn the spring of 1878, Pius 1X. was laying Upon a sick bed so grievousiy ill that the termina- tion of his eventful Pontificate was thought to be @ hand he is said to Dave exclaimed, ‘I spall not | die uot I have proclaimed the Jubilee.” But in What sense was this exclamation to be taken Was It prophetic of the deliverance, 60 oiten pre- dicted, being accomplished belcre Uhristmas, 1874, or was it merely indicative of his resolution to . hoid the Jubilee under any circumstances what- ever they might be? Ascension Day, when, aecordiug to custom, the bull of prepa- ration sbould have been issued, passed | and no sign was made. Christmas Eve, on which each year of Jubilee commences with tne breaking down of the Porta Santa, came, but the great vestibule, wich under other circum- Btauces Would have been densely crowded with the faithful, from the visible head of the Church to the poorest pilgrim, was silent ana deserted. Some, who erroneously thought that even Pius | IX. might, perbaps, descend so far as to perform the ceremony by stealth, went in the afternoon to examine tne tnside of the door, but its jambs and Mntels were entire; everything remained un- touched, even to the web an overlooked spider di diligently spam in the corner. shen, it seemed, to be no Jubilee; the year 1875, like 1850, Was to pass unnoticed by the Cuurch, But Ps IX. bas remained true to his words, Basuming, of course, the truth of those attributed to him, for on Christmas Eve he signed apud S. Petrum, THE ENCYCLICAL ANNOUNCING THE JUBILER, with ali its spiritual advantages, however it may be shorn of the outward pomp and circumstance | hitherto attending the occasion. Copies of the letter were immediately despatched to the bishops throughout the world, aad last night 1¢ was pub- lished in Kome, as lollows:— Sancrissmm1 Domint NostRt Pit Divina PRovI- af Det, Parag IX. EPISTOLA ENCYCLICA. ‘o all bishops and other ordinaries of places having Grace and communion with the Apostolic see, Bnd to all faithiui Coristians. Venerabie brothers and beloved sons, health and apostolic benediction, Moved not only by the grave calamities of the Church and of this century, but also py the neces- Bity of imploring Divive aid, we have never omit- ted im the time of our Pontificate to arouse the Christian people, in order that they might strive to appease the majesty of God and merit celestial clemency by holy habits of lite, by works of pea tence aud »y plous and dutiiul continuance in prayer. To this end we lave, wiih apostolic Iiberality, several times opened to tue faitniul the Spiritual treasures ef the indulgences in order that, an’matet thereby to true penitence and purzec by the sacrament of reconciliation irom the Stains of sin, they might be aie to approach tue throne of grace witn more confidence and be worthy of their prayers being benignantiy re- peived by God. This a@iso, as at other times, we especially considered our duty to fulfil on the occasion of the Keumenical Vatican Council, in order that the very grave work undertaken fur the benetit of the Universal Church might at tne Bame time, by the prayers of the Wauoie Charch, be jurtnered in the sight of the Almighty; and Bithougu the celebration of the same Council re- mained suspended, throuzn the calamities ol tue thues, we never‘heless declarea and mide known for the gvod of the saitutui peopie tnat the maui- gence to iollow it in the form of a juoilee promu: aed on that occasion continued, as it still re- Mains, 10 aii its sorce, tirmness and vigor. IN PEACEPUL TIMES. Nevertheless, the course of these sorrowfai times still continuing, benold the com:mence- ment of the seventy-fitn year after the eighieenth century of the Curistian era— the year, thac is to say, whicu marks that Bacréd space of time whici ine holy custom of our elders and the ordinations of the pontiffs our pre- decessors consecrated to the celebration of the Universal Jubuee, With what respect und re- religious feeling the year o1 the Jumiee was ob- rved when the tranquti umes of tne Churen permittea them to celebrate it with every solemnity both ancient and recent iistorical mouuMen's testify, Jor it Was always lookea upon asthe year Of salutary expiauon by the whole Christian people. as the year oi redemption and of grace, Of the remission of sins and of the indal- ence, In Whiel they assembled (rom ail the world this our aia etry and seat of Peter, and all the Jaituiul, aroused to Works oO piety, ofered for the bealth Of souls most abundant aids of reconcilia- tiou aud of grace. Whata pious and hoy soiem- DIY was seen in this our ceuiury When, the Jubilee Of! ‘ne year i525 having been intimated by Leo XII Of biessed memory, our predece-sor, this venent was received by the Christian people With so much fervor tuac the said Ponthil could rejoice in having seen during the whole course of the year a uever wterrupted concourse ef pLgriais in this city, and through whicn was marveliousiy mantiest the spiendor ot religion. piety, faith, love and gil the virtues. O that such were also to-day our condition, aud the condicion 01 civil una sacred things, as to permit us happily to celevrate - cording to the ancient rites aud customs wuic our elders used to observe, that soiemnity of tne great Jabilee, which, oceurring as it did int ear 1460, of this cen'ury, it Was Necessary to omit canse of the mourniul circumstauces of tue times! But those grave canses which at that time impeced.us irom intimating the Jubilee, so tar from waving ceased, have istead—God 80 per- mitting it—increasea daily. Nevertheless, ovsery- ing the Many evils which afflict the Churen, the many efforts of ber enemies directed to tear tne faith oi Curist trom souls, to corrupt ber sound doc: rines and to propagate the polsoa of impiety; 0 Wany scandais Which present themselves everywhere wo true betievers, the depravity of menuers 80 wiaely spread, and the infamous emancipation from diviae and baman guties so amply difiused. so jecund o/ rain, and Which tends to destroy all sense® of rectiinde in the souis of men; and considering that in such a flood of evils still more should We endeavor, in w cordance With our apostolic duty, that faith, re- ligion and mety svould be jortified and awakened, that the spirit of prayer be jomented ant in- creased, that the 1allen be aroused to peaiteace o heart and to the mending Of their ways, (hat t6 sins which merit the wrath of God be reaeemed by holy works, all irui(s to the obtaining of woieh the celebration of the great Jubilee is principally directea—we thought that it was not our duty to permit that on this Occasion the Christian people should be deprived of this salutary benetit, observ- ing that 1orm which is permitted by che condition of the umes, inorder that thus comiorted in the spirit they mnay Walk 10 the way of righteousness Wiit greater alacrity, and, purged from sins, more easily and more richly merit tne divine propitia- tion and pardon.

King Alfonso’s Effort for the Restora- tion of the Throne. | The Student of Sandhurst and His Friends in the Intrigue. A Perfect Surprise, but Without Bismarck. MARSEILLES, Jap. 6, 1875. Thave been taking a good deal of interest in the Alfonsist organization for some time past, and am now thus far on my way toward Spain to be present on the arrival of the new King. The more | one learns of the matter the more one stands be- | Wildered, both as to the present and the future. | For me, in the meantime, the most vivid features of the drama are two fat old women, seen 1n very | opposite conditions, About three weeks ago I | went to Sandhurst, a country village near Alder- | shot, Geriving its only prominence trom having in | its vicinity the Staff College and the Royal Mill- | tary Academy, At the latter seminary the Prince of the Asturias was a student. I found his resi- dence on the ‘Terrace,’ a tucked up, moderate sized bart ack-room kind of a house, suca as would be dear at $250 in New York, with a porch tacked: on to the side, trough the roof of which the wa- ter dripped. When I rang the bellit was replied to by an elderly woman—perhaps she would call herself middie aged—of considerable corpulence and general wheeziness. “Was the Prince at home ?”” Tasked. “No,’? was the laconic response. ‘Was Colonel Velasco, his Governor, there ?”? No.’ The tat ola woman was the only inhabitant of the Square box, and she was the housekeeper of the establishment, She did not know anything, not even wiere her constituents were to be found, and it was only after a good deal of cross-ques- tioning that I learned irom her that she wasin the habit of sending all letters which came to the house at Sandhurst to the care of a geutieman re- | siding in Harley street. This was the old woman of what may be called the Alfonsist eclipse—a stupid English housekeeper, without the idea of | @ political intrigue in that gelatinous carcass of hers, and with no soul avove kitchen stuffand per- | quisites. A MORE FAVORABLE CONDITION, | Stout elderly femate No. 21 visited two days ago | under different conditions, A little way along the | Rue de le Roi du Rome, in Paris, there stands, re- tired from the street, a somewhat fantastically constructed edifice, built by a now subsided Polish Count, and known from his name as the Hotel | Bazilewski, it is now the residence of Isabeila, the ex-Queen of Spain. To that residence I came, | bearing influential introductions, and was after ! some delay admitted to the presence of tho great | lady to whose son has come such a flash of good fortune, I think [liked the Sandhurst oid woman | | fully invited to attend the iuneral, on Saturday, | tton, the Numancia arrives, conveying the Marquis de j Molines, the Minister Of Marine, the programme of | departure remains en Vai, The oniy definire thing 1s a telegram that the King and suite wili leave Paris to-night by the ress train, and that | on their arrival here they will be quartered in the | Grand Hotel de Marseilles, where the whole of the | first floor has been taken jor the accommodation ot the party. They are papering the rooms as L write, una a sinister repuolican asserts that this 1g Deine dobe With surreptitious mtent to give the young King the rheam@ism betore he comes inio his kingdom, At present it is intended that he shall touch | | | | Spanish soti first at Barcelona, that city of “reds,” | aud i this intention is carried into execution the young man will have proven either bis courage or | his un pas siveaess, MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. = | .
