A RUMOR RE THE QUEEN.
A rumor is current in the best circles at Home and abroad that the Queen of England has embraced the Boman Catholic religion. It is, however, no new report (writes the Home correspondent of the South Australian Chronicle), for, some years back, it was said Cardinal Newman had succeeded in proselytising Her Majesty. In support o£ this statement we are told the Queen’s frequent absences from England during Lent are accounted for by the necessity imposed by the Eomish Church of every member taking the sacrament on Easter Day. This is imperative among Eomanists in all countries. The ceremony could certainly not be accomplished in England; the dread of publicity and scandal and also injury to the prestige of royalty would be too great. We are told moreover that the secret of her majesty’s attachment to the Empress Eugenie lies in the religious sympathy which binds them together. The Empress is decidedly the Queen’s mental inferior. To Her Majesty’s serious temper and reserved manner the childish dependence and naive,to. of speech of Eugenie presents a strong contrast. The rumor anont the Queen’s perversion has been eagerly seized abroad. The latest absurdity set afloat is that I ger Majesty’s proposed visit to Madrid ■» 16 fere to a secret pilgrimage to Our
Lady of Atocha, to whom Queen Christina attributes release from all the perils by which she has been and is beset.
