Kome, Italy March 1, 1896.
This morning I went to the dome of
St. Peter's, 435 feet high. I was tired
after that climb and sat down and rested and drank in the beauty of that
scene for a long time. Oa the west lay
the dreary eampafrna, which is interesting historically—not. physically.
The soil looks poor. It has had time to
wear out, hasn't it, during 4,000 yeais?
The city outskirts are belted with undulating hills. Farther on these wrinkles are smoothed out. Still farther, in
the distance, the sea can he seen. This
roof is so immense that families oeoury
houses built on top of it. To the north
lay Janiculum Aventine, Capitoline,
and Palatine Hills. To the east,
the Pincian and Quirinal, and in the
distance the snow-capped Alban mountains. Just in front flowed the Tiber,
separating the old densely built section
of "the city from the more open, newer
part. It turns sharply at right angles
soon after it passes the Castle of St An-
gelo, getting out of the way of the slope
which rises gradually to St. Peters.
To the south lay a great campus, on
which I counted twenty companies of
soldiers going through their daily drill
Adjoining the church on this side, is
the largest palace in the world, the
Vatican, which is indeed a small world
in itself, politically isolated as is the
District of Columbia. On this territory, sacred to the Pope, no Italian can
set foot; I refer of course to the palace
or Vatican gardens. From my height
I looked on * his Holiness' private
grounds, beautifullly laid out. Just
beyond them is a piece ot woodland
which looks as if it had been snatched
bodily from a dense forest and set down
here—so wild and uncultivated is it.
Here we imagine, His Holiness takes
refuge on hot summer evenings; and
with the trees as sentinels, he walks
and meditates on how he can regain
the power he will never know. He
has enough titles to be s t the head of
the universe. Here they are: Vicar of
Jesus Christ, Successor of the Prince
of the Apostles, Pontifex of the Universal Church, Patriarch of the West,
Primate of Italy, Metropolitan Archbishop of the Province of Rome, Sovereign of the Temporal Dominions of
the Holy Roman Church. Are you out
of breath? And yet he is a good man.
He cannot help his titles.
Coming down the stairs I counted 64
marble slabs which had heen inlaid in
the wall, announcing that on such a
date, such a crowned head or royal personage had ascended the dome of St.
Peters. This reminds me that ono of
the original stones of Romulus which
surrounded the old city on the Palatine
Hill, is among the inlaid stones in our
Washington monument. Then I went
down and around to the Vatican library
whore I saw many roli2S from the Catacombs, many invaluable illuminated
manuscripts, beautiful stained glass,
and many priceless treasures in the
shape of vases, etc. which had been
presented to the different Popes from
the greatest personage, and from the
farthest ends of tho earth. But what
surprised me on the street was an African Prandescan monk.
Yesterday, uuder the shadow of the
prison where his Apostolic namesake
was confined, I took Paul, a book and a
ball and went to spend the afternoon in
tho Forum Romanum. I sat on the
steps of the Rasilica Julia and read,
while Paul kicked his football up and
down tho lava flagstones of the Sacred
Way. If stones ever preach sermons
how eloquent are these! Presently the
ball rolled far off and fell into the Cloaca
Maxima. Then there was a great anxiety until [ spoke to a workman, who
got a ladder and handed the ball up
from the Sluggish water. The ladder
was at hand, or I should never have
taken steps to recover the ball. We
have just como home and arc tired.
Yesterday, likewise we spent th.e nfter-
noou there, aud the two days preceding
we enjoyed ihe warm sunshine aud the
fine military band on tho green lawn of
the Pincian Hill. Here we almost always see the King and Queen taking a
drive. But they are always in different carriages and. appear at different
times. Thursday the King was driving a pair of spirited horses, and yet
took off his hat to everybody who
glanced at him. A kingly pcrrogative
As the hill was swarming with people
he had his hands full.
The Court ball was given up last
week on account of the war. TheEing
won approbation by ordering that the
funds which bad been intended for it
should he distributed among the charitable institutions of the city. On account of the war there is to be no carnival this year, and no wonder; for Italy
is holding her breath in the greatest
suspense, and is too heart-sick for merry-making. The Tribunal, one of the
*
principal papers, has its office very
near us and each evening, coming from
dinner, we pass through a great crowd
of men, hoys and. wagons, all waiting to
carry the night editions over the city.
The other night, when good news came
it spread like lightning, and halls and
other entertainments stopped for u few
minutes, while the national anthem
was played amid the greatest enthusiasm. All of which leads me to make
the orignal remark, that war is a great
social evil. Italy is now momentarily
expecting to hear news from Africa of
a deci-;ive battle.

The Voice of a Child.
Professor Drnmmoiid tells the story
of a little girl who once said to her father: "Papa, I want yon to say something to God for me, something I want
to tell him very mnch. I have such a
little voice that I don't think he could
hear it way np in heaven, bnt you have
a great big man's voice, and he will be
sure to hear yon." The father took his
little girl in his arms and told her that,
even though God were at that moment
surrounded by all his holy angels,
sonnding on their golden harps and singing to him one of the grandest and
sweetest songs of praise ever was heard
in heaven, he was sure that he would
say to them: "Hnsh! Stop the singing
for a little while. -There's a little girl
away down on the earth who wants to
whisper something in my ear."—Ram's

Electric Bitters.
Electric Bitters, is a medicine suited for
any season, but perhaps more generally
needed when the languid exhausted feeling
prevails, when the liver is torpid and slug
gish and the need of an alterative is felt. A
prompt use of this medicine has often
averted long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine will act more surely in
counteracting and freeing the system from
the malaria poison. Headache, indigestion
constipation dizziness yield to Electric Bitters. 50c. and $1.00 per bottle at Lister &
Sheeder's drug store. 1
