Text Appearing Before Image:
and introduced a foreign prince and a foreignarmy. Miramon was her Mexican leader, Pius IX. her European. A favorite picture on the parkor walls of devout Romanists hereis Maximilian and Carlotta visiting the pope. He sits on a dais,holding converse with them about Mexico. They were blessed byhim, and urged on their dim and perilous way. He was the realcentre of the imperial movement; Napoleon was only his militarydirector. All of it was Romanism, and Romanism only. When America finished her war, Mr. Seward put sixty thousandmen on the Mexican frontier, and sent a polite note to the Frenchminister suggesting that the French troops be recalled from thiscontinent.

The spot where he fell is marked by a heap of stones, cast upwithout order by living hands. Many of these stones are markedwith a cross.

Public domain

The author died in 1880, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
