A (’oi.’ni-:si*osn)FNT of an English Trolestanfe journal describes as one of the principal fruits of Bir Hurtle Fivre’s mission to Africa, {lie discovery of the work a Catholic mission is doing on tho borders of the desert. At Bagomoyo they found a l» rench mission established, where nine dr ten of the reverend fathers and sisters were instructing and earing for 250 children, many of whom they had rescued from slavers. Tlio branch establishsnout at Zanzibar has a school where the boys loam trades, making the mission self-supporting. It is intended that these form a sottlomoi.it, in which will bo the nucleus of a society 7 to Christianise JK astern Africa. A Paris eorrespou lout of u New York paper reports McMahon as saying to him that ho accepted tlio Presidency of Franco to save tho army and rescue the Government from a combination of power and profit. He added : “ There is no reason why tho present regime, in its amended, constitutional form, with a military Executive, who Humid reign over the country and rule over the army, should not become established in trance. When tho words empire and republic become synonymous with discipline, every citizen n soldier read every soldier a servant of tho Republic, wrangling v,u! strife will cease in the country.” He likewise said : “ Everything that can bo done to ensure tho Pope’s safety and tho necessary liberties of tho Holy See, shall bo done. It is directly against tho Interests of Italy to orcpei the Pope, for were ho to take refuge elsewhere, tho Catholics of till the world would bo united against Italy. ’* The Su/unfay .'/irvivtt j asks tho Jesuits, u Why does mankind so vehemently and persistently detest them ?’’ Tho answer is very 7 simple. All who really know, amounting to several millions throughout tho world, lovo and respect them; and ns to tho rest, tho .Tosuita arc true disciples of Hi in who lias said, ‘-'lf they have hated Mo, they will also hate you.”
