Indignant and amazed, and wishing to be revenged upon that _frataccio_, the station-master telegraphed to Loreto, that in a certain carriage of a certain train was travelling a friar, whom it behoved the authorities to arrest for having hindered the departure of the said train for fifteen minutes, and also for the offense of mendicancy within a railway station.
Accordingly, the Loreto police sought the offender, but, in the compartment where he had travelled, found no person; there, however, lay a letter couched in these terms: "He who was in this waggon under the guise of a humble friar, has now ascended into the arms of his _Santissima Madre Maria_.

He wished to make known to the world how easy it is for him to crush the pride of unbelievers, or to reward those who respect religion." Nothing more was discoverable; wherefore the learned of the Church--_i dotti della chiesa_--came to the conclusion that under the guise of a friar there had actually appeared "_N.

S.G.C._" The Supreme Pontiff and his prelates had not yet delivered a judgment in the matter, but there could be no sort of doubt that they would pronounce the authenticity of the miracle.

With a general assurance that the good Christian will be saved and the unrepentant will be damned, this remarkable little pamphlet came to an end.

Much verbiage I have omitted, but the translation, as far as it goes, is literal.
