Tbe Divine mercy has been shown to the Italian ex-Ministe John Lanza, he who in 1870 gave the orders for the Italian troops to march on Rome under Generals Raphael Cadorna and Nino Bixio. On the 18th March, Signor Lanza's state of health gave the greatest uneasiness. His wife and nephews were quickly called to Rome, the Court Chaplain, Mgr. Anzino, was also called to attend, and the sick Minister gladly accepted his services. In a few hours more life was extinct. — Bombay Catlwllo Examiner.
