Messrs Nelson and Moate's teas still command public favour. They are in every respect most excellent. mihe recent celebration of Mass on the summit of Monte Vim, one of the most pointed peaks of the Alps, in the region of perpetual snow, in presence of a large assemblage, is described by a Turin correspondent as a very impressive sight. The cur£ of Orissolo, Father Lantermino, and the Abbate Mariano, professor of theology, having offered the Holy Sacrifice at an extemporised altar, and a short discourse having been delivered by the former, a loud "vivat I" was raised in honour of the great Pontiff Leo XIII. A daughter of Josef Mayer (the Christus of Ober-Ammergau) writes : " A proposition has recently been made, offering a large sum of money to my father and two or three others, if tbey would take part in the Passion play at Chicago. My father immediately refused, and the community paid no attention to the proposal. . . . As you know, our sacred play is given in fulfilment of a vow, and must not be trifled witb. I therefore implore you, in the name of the commnnity of Ober-Ammerpau, to communicate to the newspapers an emphatic denial of the statements to which I have alluded."
