Pio Nono's Romance.
He Turns Aside From Venus and Mars to Become a Priest.
A Sudden Change of His Whole Career.
Louis Mulibncli io the New York Hcrald.j Kive years ago the New York Herald published quite an extended narrative of the life of Pope Pius lX. It was written by Louis Muhlbach, the then famous novelist. Since his dealh Ihe Herald has republished its article, and from it we take the fallowing extract. It is of a personal nature and gives ?n insight into the private character of the great prelate and allows him to have been as lovable and gentle in character and disposition, as he was exalted in station. The narrative is as follows.—[Eds. GA-
KTTE. There wai yet one more person who knew of him—namely, a young and beautiful girl, who had been living for him during the past three years, who, for three long years had hoped for his advent, although she must have known that he would never again appear. At one time she had hoped that the young count'9 love Vvas of a nature so fervent and constant as to cause him to forget the difference in their respective stations of life which seem'ngly separated them from each oMier. The young lady was the 1 autiful daughter of the widow Devoti. at whose house the Count Ma«tai had, during several months, been a daily and welcome visitor. The son of the widow was a brother student, and as such he had b?en introduced to the family, where he became intimate and spent happy hours ot recreation.
Happv, happy we those hours! and often, when many years had .passed by, Pius IX., then surrounded by the splendor of th* papal palace, pleasurably recalled those happy hours of his youth, and often, in lonesome moods, on an approaching eve, these recollections lighted up his soul. '1 he beauty of Camilla Devoti was equal to her amiability and to her accomplishments Count Mastai Ferietti, who largely shared" her musical talents, was charmed wi Camilla's voice it sc emcd to him the voice of an angel, bringing sweet tidings from unknown regions and whispering holy secrets into his ears. They read together the sublime verses of Tasso, and probahlv on one oftho*e occasions the voung count was suddenly reminded of the fate of Francesca di Rimini, who also read with her lover tali of lov.r, and it was then that he voweo these rt a lings should not culminate in piin and affliction Buch as were experienced In- Fi ance on.
FROM ROM TJ REALITY.
With a view to av tid these dangers Count Mastai determin.-d on decided course of action. I le h*d been wont ar der.tlv and devote ilv to attend to his studies, but subsequ -ntlv he had negl-c-ed tlu.m and indulge^ hime in a dreamy existence of poctrv and music. Mastai had firmly resolved to lVee him self from dangers to which unsettl.nl Labits might expose him. For th purpose he waited on Prince Barberim, who at that period was commander-iri-chi of the pontifical guards, an solicited trom that officer the f-vor of b.ing enrolled The prince cont •mplatid the young man for some time with a scuitinizing attitude. and, shaking hi* head exclaimed.' "You a dragoon! It seema to me, judging from your delicate appearance, that the gown "of a priest would much better befit
yOA
than" the uniform of a
dragoon/' But Mastai was nothing daunted, and grimly adhered to his resolution. While still smarting under the rebuke he directed his steps straight to the vatician, the to solicit from the holy father what Prince Barberini had so cruelly refused. Being the son of a man with liigh rank iii the papal service, Mastai easily obtained an audience. The benevolent pope listened good humoredly to Mastai's eloquence and readily acceded to his wishes. The youth obtained from the holy father a promise that the first vacancy should be reserved for him. and speciaforders were giver, that in the meantime Mastai should be permitted to were the epaulettes of an ensign preparatory 10 being init ated for military service.
PARTING OF THE LOVERS. That same evening Mastai Ferretti met hit friends, bright in hopes and eloquent in words, He narrated to the lovel. Camilla the day's experience, pictured to her in glowing terms the prospect of the future, basing his hopes on the promise he had obtained at the Vatican. Camilla listened with the sweetest smiles, and both pictured to themaelves a future of the most unbounded happiness The evening closed as usual with music never had Camilla's voice been sweeter, and when, at an advanced hour, Mastai and Camilla parted from each other both fondly expressed adieu till to-morrow even ing. The evening of the morrow passed by and Camilla had waited in vain tor her friend. She waited the next day and another day, but still Mastai never come. Camilla, full of grief at anxiety, dared not inquire into the cause of the absence of her trien.i.
What could it bo? Was it that he had deserted her? Neither Camilla's mother nor her sis ter were able to answer batist'actorily. Her brother was not in Rome, or tidings might have been obtained through him, but the women weie not even acquainted with the whereabouts of Mastia's residence- In the meantime young Devoti had taken his departure as a missionary to foreign lands. Camilla waited silently and mourned over the sudden loss of a dear friend. But when day after day had passed bv without even the remotest possibility ot leceiving tidings, then she was overcome by grief and eventually was stricken djwn with fe,ver.
FLEEING FROM WOMAN'S LOVE At the same time when Camilla was suffering the height of anguish Mastai Ferretti was kneeling at the feet of the holv father, of whom he had so•licited and obtained an audience. -Mournmay and tremblingly he addressed the Pope •••A-terrible misfortune has over
taken me a dreadful malady, from which I suffered in my early youth. and which the phyfticans "thought hid abandoned me forever, lias again made its appearance. The evening before last, while returning hom from a friendly visit. I was suddenly seized in the open street with an epileptic fit. In a state of unconsciousness I was carried to a hospital, where I found tm self »he following morning, much injured and with a broken heart. This misfortune, holy father, troubles my future and destroys try fond estwi-H.s it interferes Hewasun able to give utterance to his thoughts, and lowered his head. "It interferes with your love," said, sympathetically, the Pop**, "Is it not so HIV son?"'
Mastai was able to reply only .with flow of tears. The good pope spread out his hands and pronounced a blessing upon the kneeling youth, and said with a solem voice, "That means, my son, that the love of God is placed higher than the love of man. He has given vou a s'gn lhat which implies that, thou shalt turn away from worldl matters and turn yOur attention to the holy. My son, I understand the bidding of the Lord, who desires that thou shalt not seek salvation in wordly thing*, but He beseeches thee to be a servant at his altar, do then as the Lord bids. Thou hast a desire to become a soldier in my body guard,but thou shalt be a soldier in the body guard of the Lord. Turn to the holy virgin of Loretto, bend thy knees and solicit convalesence affirm to her thv resolution that thou wilt devote thyself to the service of the altar and thou shalt receive convalesence."
The youth, who had remained on his knees, kissed the golden cross on the holy father's slipper. Choked with tears and emotion, he said, "I will go and do as thou bidde-t me." And the following morning the young pale-faced pilgrim, clad in a black gown, provided with a long staff, the emblem of the pilgrim, and the rosary hanging from his girdle, turned his back upor. the Eternal City and bent his way toward Loretto, there to solicit, according to the holy bidding, his convalescence trom the Holy Virgin. Month atter month passed by Camilla Devoti looked in vain for the return of her lost friend, for whom she had wept while on her bed of sickness. Her pride was deeply wounded andj she would probably not, have recovered, but that she remained strong and tirm in the resolution not outwardly to show her grief Nobody should know tor whom she was pining.
A REMARKABLE EPISODE.
At length, following the counsels of her mother, Camilla yielded to an offer in marriage nade to her by the* young B.iron Cannuccini. Encouraged by Camilla's smiles the baron ventured to press his suit. But Camilla's heart was still undecided: she,calmly replied, "Grant me three days for consi leration. After the lapse of three days you shall hear my decision."
While deeply absorbed in thought and balancing the dictates of her heart aganst reason the day rolled on, when suddenly, at sundown, the door of tne parlor opened. A crv of was uttered by the mother Devoii when she recognized Mastai as the peison wh entered, Camilla remained silent and motionless Mastai did no*, advance The twilight had not permitted Camilla to discern the garb of the pries', b'H no sooner had she realized the young man's appearance ihan her resolution in regard to her own future svas made. "Where have you been all this time?" inquired Signura, "1 h«ve been in Loretto," replied Mastai, timidly "hence to the convent ot Sancto Agn. se, where I was anoinud a priest."
It was now Signo a Devoti's turn to smart under a painful emotion. Comilla, however continued composed. A somewhat forced smile lighted up her face, and addressing Mastai, shesa d: "It is well thatvou have come a kind providence has directed^ our steps you have Leen sent hither to give me counsel in lieu of my brother, who is far away from us. Baron Cannuccini desires me in marriage. What advice have you to give?" "My advice is that you accept the offer," replied the young priest. "I am well acquainted with Baron Cannuccini he is a noble hearted and amiable gentleman. I believe you can with confidence trust to him your future, and he will render vou happy."
Camilla silently bowed and continued, "will you solemnize the marriage cere monv?" But her voice did not then appear" to Mastai as the angelic, pleasure giving sound yet he did not hesitate, and firmly replied: "Yes, wilLbut if I am to solemnize the ceremony, 1 must request that you will not tairv, as I have cause to bid you farewell. I am on my way to Sinigaglia, the pltce of my birth, where I intend to prepare mvself for missionary *ervices, and then I leave Italy for a foreign station. But it will uive me pleasure to comply with \ourdetire before I depart andtowed^ou to the man whom you love."
Yes, to him whom I love," replied Camilla with a" firm voice, suppressing a tear and staying the pangs of the heart. Two days later Camilla knelt at the side of Baron Cannuccini at the foot of the altar, where stood the pale young priest facing the bridal pair, invoking the blessing of heaven.
THE OLD FRAME.
In has been the custom at the Late ran to give receptions to a certain number of ladies on each succeeding Thursday. Count Mastai had been Pope Pius IX. for quite a number of j'ears, when the following incident occurred at *one of these receptions: The Baroness de Kinsky. an old friend of Cardinal Antonelli, was in the habit of receiving the ladies and presenting them to the holy father, who, addressing each in tarn, had invariably manv kind words for all those who sought him. The last of the ladies presented on this occasion was a venerable matron, whose pale features did not hide the traces of former beauty. When tfye baroness mentioned the lady's name the pontiff started and a peculiar expression, not void of emotion, visibly stole over his face. The lady bent her knee she did not lower her looks, however, bat regarded the holy father with a quiet, steady gaze.
Holy father," she said, a her voice sounded still melodious and beautiful— "Holy father, I come to solicit from thte the favor to receive my grandson the pontificial body guard. They hesitate to receive him on account of the boy's delicate appearance, but he is in excellent health, and he is eager to serve the holy father and to consecrate his life to him.'' This said she trembled and cast down her
eyes. But Pio IX well understood the lady. Slightly nodding, he softly laid his hand, with the ring of St. Peter, op her gray locks, and said: "Thy wishes shall be fulfilled, daughter. Thy grandson shall be received into the ranks of my boly guard. I well know the pain when we seek without avail, for I have m/sdf expgfj, enced it."
The holv father quickly turned away, and rapidly walked toward one oe sidewalks of the gardin, intimating the chamberlain that he desired to be left alone. Slowly, with pensive look, hi sea sepn pacing for soin time along th aii cavenu. s. HIS HOLINESS TELLS HIS LOVE STORY
As ututl in his morning walks in the hady avenues of the Lateran he would meet the Baroness de Kinkskv. Slowly walking bv her side Pius IX suddenly stood s'.ill and, addressing the old ladv. who in her younger davs played an important role in the world, said: "Knowst thou that yesterday a great pleasure was afforded me, but that it caused me great emotion?" The baroness assumed air of surprise and asked the meaning of her words. But the nope gently rebuked her saying: "I know, my daughter, that thou art a friend ot the Baroness Cannuccini, and I doubt not that she has spoken to the of the days that are pat. But I will likewi s,»eak to thee about them, try daughter, and of a cret. which. untd now, has slt.mbered in my heart. But now the oil man may reiease it from its prison and consecrate it as a last salute to his fiieod and his dead love." He then enter-d into a narrative, recounting to the Baronfcss de Kinsky the reasons why he had deserted his love so suddenly, and explained why .he had assumed the priestly gtrb. "Go, now, my daughter," he said in conclusion "go and repeat to the Baroness Carinucccini what I have told thee. She has, without doubt, harbored anger toward me in her heart of hearts, but sho never knew the pain which I have suf fered. It was a sore trail to me. imposed by the ho!v father, who had bound me to secrecy Tell her now who has separated us it has turned to our mutual good. But the Pope Pius, who has to hope for nothing—he indulges no morein illusions —Pope Pius envies still the voung Count Mastai for the last beautiful evening which he spent at the side of Camilla Devoti. Tell this to the Baroness Cannuccini as inv last greeting in life."
This iwcident was narrated to me in iS^S by the Baroness de Kinsky.

T11K AUlMI HAIIWAl.
With the iiiternul operation of railroad companies the State Register has no concern, but the external operations of railroads are matters w'.iich affedt every citizen, and which are, therefore, proper subjects of ditcussion. There is 10 doubt that the producing interests 01 the state are obliged to pay tribute to the transportation companies and now that transportation is as legitimate business as production, both production and ranjportation ought to be free Trom governmental interference, and each )eing free, will find its greatest profit and will reach its highest development.
It is in consonance with these ideas that we ca'.l attention to the Wabash Railway, as offering advantages to the producers of Central Illinois, which iiO other transportation company is able to offer. The branches of this line tap the grain and meat producing section of the Mississipi Valley at Burlington, Peoria Keokuk, Warsaw, Quincy, Haniiiba and St. Louis. All these are importan points of concentration, and these branch lines strike the main line at Decatur, and finally at Lafayette in the grand plan 1 moving western products to eastern mar-

It is, however, as an" Illinois railway that the Wabash is of special interest to our readers. Its main line runs through the great farming counties of the state, and with its branches, gives the produce of Central Illinois a direct eastern «utlet, without obliging it to pay tribute to Cnicago stock yards, elevators, commission dealers, or the celebrated corner operators there. The advantages of this ne are very great, and its increasing business shows they are full appreciated. During the late strike its business was less interrupted than that of any of the great through lines, for the reason that its employes are liberally treated, and because, also, the management did not attempt to punish employes or patrons by needlessly stopping transit.
