There were from three to four thousand persons ; present on the scene. ,“ I heard, from the mouth of the person who saw the vision the words of the' Holy Virgin. The Holy Virgin said wo were on the eve of a terrible political crisis;;:it Will be brief, and for a time the wicked will seem to haye the ; ascendancy. - The Holy Virgin spoke only of Paris as likely to suffer from this crisis; she said nothing of the provinces. The vision lasted fifty minutes l be i erson who saw it was teased in a thou Sand ways, but felt nothing ; all the experipumts made on her did not disturb her ecstacy. The number of people daily is incredible ; but the diocesan authority is reserved, especially since three .weeks ago, bn account of revelations of an extraordinary Character affecting the rope., A country land-owner, who has known the person fc-auced for a Jong time, asked her in my how the advent' of Henry V. i in 1874 was consistent with ;MaoMahonls; appointment frr seven years, she was‘asked if the latter would remain in power for five years?
