A young French Catholic, Count Gabriel do Caix de Saint Aymour, has presented to the Pope a complete altar service of un-heard-of richness. The vessels are incrusted with diamonds, rubies, emeralds, topazes, and all sorts of precious stones. It is said Piua IX. has accepted the offering on one condition, namely : that if the Queen of England should ever turn to the Catholic faith, she should be considered worthy of being presented with this altar service.
