CZACKI, His Eminence Vladi- MiB, Cardinal-Priest of the Holy Boman Church, was born in 1834. He is by birth a Pole, though of Hungarian org^, and is of a noble family. He is a nephew of the Princess Odescalchi, and heir to her gteait estates ; in her palace at Bome he has passed a great part of his life. His brother, who married a Princess Sapieha, is a wealthy landowner in the Ukraine, and he is connected with such great fami- lies as those of Branicki, Potocki, and BadziwiU. At a very early age he was taken to Bome. From his earliest childhood his health was feeble, and an accident in his youth left him slightly lame. Not until the close of Pius IX.'s long reign did the young prelate begin to come into public notice at the Boman Court. When Cardinal Antonelli divided the Secretary of State's department into two great branches he gave the " ecclesi^ical affairs " into the charge of Mgr. Czacki, who soon came to be known as one of the ablest diplomatists at the Vatican, and as a man of wide literary culture and attainments.
