THE HAPPIEST HOME.
That is the brightest, happiest home,
Where love and peace are shrined ;
And whence the heart would never roam,
A warmer spot to find.
’Tis not the mansion, proud and high,
Nor halls of lordly state ;
’Tis not the robes of richest dye,
Nor slaves that round us wait ;
’Tis not the steeds that prance in pride,
With harness flecked with foam;
No—luxury and dominion wide
Have nought to do with home.
15ut one condition makes a home —
Hearts must be happy there ;
As well in hovel as in dome.
Content can find a lair.
Want and disease may bitter life,
Discordant souls may hate,
Strong interests may engender strife—
These are the common fate.
But, if we ask it prayerfully,
Joy to our roof will come;
Love, the condition sole must be,
For love will make a home.
Love—V Mystery.

My heart! I bid thee answer—
How are love’s marvels wrought !

I
Two spirits to one thought.” j
And tell me how love conreth'? j ;
“It comes—unsought— unsenl!”
And toll me how love goeth I I
“That was not love which went!”
FOR THE TIMES & -SENTINEL.
Mr. Webster’s Death —Reflections.
He died when probably he least expected it, j
in the midst of political excitement to which his J
own name and position had powerfully contri- |
huted. He died like Samson in the very effort
of polling down ruin on the heads of hisenetnies,
in the moment of his greatest out lay ol strength.
When his great heart was most severly tried,
and most triumphant, most resolved, collecting
into itself the resources of his large experience
and manly nature, it suddenly ceased to throb.
Just as he plumed his wing for a loftier flight
and a wider sweep through the firmament of
national fame, the shaft of the relentless archer
smote him in his evrie, aud he fell. Just as tiie
sun of his genius seemed to be kindling its re
flections upon the disc ol each lesser orb, it sud
denly sank in night.
He died when the nation least expected it, an j
old century oak that had buttled with a thou- j
sand storms, he stood bravely flinging ids giant |
arms and leafy boughsin defiance to the tempest; |
solemnly from his high place he tell. Ihe earth |
trembled beneath the weight ol his trunk. Wide j
resounded the eocboesof liU fall through forest j
and field; not an ear but caught the stunning j
sound, not a heart but lost a pulsation at the j
announcement, “Daniel Webster is dead!”
From capitol to cabin, from palace to but, from
heart to heart, from eye to eye, from lip to ear,
with telegraphic speed, the electric, the startling
intelligence, ran hack aud forth, to and fro, un
til every lip quivered, every eye faded, every
cheek blanched, every head dissolved.
Up to the hour of his death the nation never
I knew Mr. Web: ter. The author of these retiee* j
lions, a stranger, a southern man, a political op- j
ponent, and thousands like him, press their way j
to bis new made grave and weep for him as for \
a friend. Os Mr. Webster’s physical courage,
we know little. It would be painful to know
that he possessed it in an eminent degree, it
would too much assimilate him to the vulgar
heroes who butcher mankind for pay. Hang
men and heroes let who will admire, we
turn from in disgust, and prefer to dwell with Mr. j
Webster at Richmond amid the glories of the i
“morning,” which he there so powerfully, so j
poetically, so almost piously portrayed. We
stand by the tender hearted old man and weep,
as he plants Ins elms and plies his spade, and
having finished bis work of love, hands it to hi*
son Fletcher and says, “ cherish these trees, my
son, and when you look upon them remember
Edwin and Ella.”
How touchingly eloquent that dedication of
one of the volumes of his lately published works, |
in which lie says, “to my Brother, whose name j
i wisli associated in the minds of men, with eve
ry tiling I may have done worthy of human re
membrance.”
Wiio can ever forget that letter which he
wrote insight of the grave stone of his Father
and Mother, Brothers sind Sisters ? What heart
is not touched by his description of Ezekiel
Webster, and of ids noble old puritan Father?
What human sensibility can resist the sublime
imt simple exclamation that arises from his deep
bosom, in the midst of hisgreat thougbtsand beau
tiful tropes, like the solemn voice of the ocean in
the midst of the mountains and forests of earth.
”I)ear, dear kindred blood, hive I lore you all !”
What heat t does not almost convulse and break
as he exclaims to his Father, “Brother aud 1
will work, you shall not work, we will wear our
hands off!” Heard not Clod, the great Father
in heaven, this sublime echo of love?
Os Mr. Webster in die political world, I have
little to say, in mv humble sphere, 1 (tillered from
him, toio credo, in his policy. But his letter to
Senator Dickinson of New York upon his re
tiring from the Senate of the United States, and
his noble Eulogy upon Mr. Calhoun sufficiently
demonstrate his magnanimity and patriotism.
The main object ot these reflections is to [ire
sent Mr. Webster before the public in his rela
tion to Religion. It cannot be doubted that he
was deeply and sincerely convinced of the truth
of the Gospel of Christ. Never did he smile up
on the tribe of little witlings who deem it man
hood to question the claims of the Christian Reli
gion ; never bent lie upon them from his olym
pian height a nod of recognition save when he
marked them for the thunder of his denunciation
and with a frown that fell like fate as in the
great speech of the Girard will case, when he
cried “mere, sheer, vulgar infidelity and deism !”
It will be remembered that Mr. Webster on
one occasion promptly instructed a foreign min
ister to protect the missionaries of the Gospel.
He did it with a will, doubtless rejoicing at the
opportunity of throwing the shelter of his great
name and the governmental protection over that
religion of which he himself says his father was
an “earnest'’ professor.
When my distinguished fiend, Dr. Alex.
Means, of Emory College, was leaving the Uni
ted States on his late European tour, of which I
have reason to hope the public may yet learn
something from his own eloquent pen. be called
on Mr. Webster, then Secretary of State, for an
introduction to some leading man in Europe.
He met him with an affluence of accommoda
tion that, if it did not overwhelm the Doctor, pla
COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MARCH I, .853.
, ced him under lasting obligations. The Savans
: of Europe wondered that a methodist preacher
j and a simple professor in a college should go in
to all lands with the imprimatur of the American
| Republic aud the troad seal of the nation. The
j more than courtesy was alike creditable to I lie
! amiable and accomplished Doctor, and the libe
| tal and great Secretary of State who additional
ly authorized him to call upon him from the
j farthest shores of Europe or Asia in any enter
\ gency.
The general tone of Mr. Webster’s speeches,
ferensie, senatorial and political, evinces a pro
found persuasion of the truth of the Christian
Scriptures, a deep reverence for God, an abiding
faith in the great facts of revelation. No infidel
cant, no German trancendentalism, ever escaped
his lips. Whatever may be said of his life, nev
er, never , never, did he utter a word, that throws
a suspicion on his faith. We all remember the
j current report of his criticism of a sermon on the
| evidences of Christianity in which he presents
j the issue of the truths of the Gospel, or the im
postorship of Christ, denying that the facts of
the New Testament admit the possibility of the
self deception of Jesus and his apostles. In the
same luminous conversation he describes the
sort of minister that he delighted to hear. He
sought the house of God not to witness a display
of tinsel eloquence, not to hear a poetic rhap
sody about the virtues, not a didactic oration on
moral improvement. He waited to hear the prea
cher that stood in the holy place and told him
that he was a sinner, that Jesus is a Saviour, that
death is at. the door , that the Judgment is at
hand, that Heaven is the prize and Hell the al
ternative. O! that the methodist pulpit even,
were as orthodox at this point, this vital point,
as the great statesman !
Mr. Webster was never at fault; we all remem
ber his allusion, so pointed and effective, to the
Wesleys, in his speech in Boston. He had read
their lives and evidently appreciated their labors.
After the death ofhis daughter, Mrs. Appleton,
what melting words did he pour into the ears
of his Pastor at their first interview; shaken in
every nerve, trembling in every muscle, the Ti
tan old Statesman stood tearful and for a mo
ment silent in the presence of the man of God. j
When at length he mastered his sensibilities and ]
spoke, what a declaration for the stunned and j
shattered ear ot infidelity. Sic orsus <d> alto! j
“Faith in Jesus is all that is worth a thought.”
Mr. Webster did not die like an infidel. “He
prayed long and fervently, calling on God to
forgive his sins through the merits of the Lord
Jesus Christ.” Who does not hope that such
a prayer, in such an hour, was heard in heaven!
WM. F. SAM FORD.
Portrait of Mr. D’lsraeli.
There is a decided character about the whole
external of Mr. D’fsraeli, yet it is most difficult
to determine in what it especially consists. The
first impression conveyed to your mind, as with
clothes shaped apparently with too much care j
for effect, and those long flakes of curling black j
hair that can hardly he distinguished from the j
ringlets ofa woman, lie walks hastily, will) a self j
absorbed air, and a quick, short, shuffling gait,!
toward his seat, is that of an effeminate, nay j
almost an emasculate affectation. There seems j
to be .a dandyism, not merely of the body but !
of the mind also. We usually associate the idea |
of pride with an erect chest, aloftyg.uzeVi hautuer j
of bearing. Strange to sav, Mr. Disraeli’s bear- j
ing produces the same impression, from a totally i
opposite cause. He lias ail habitual sloop, and
there is that in his bearing and carriage which
might he mistaken for humility. He has also!
an air of self-absorption, which does not appear i
natural ;it seems to arise from an affected iudif
f’erence to the gaze or the observation of others.
It is not the less pride, though not of the most
noble older. You can see glimpses of an evi
dence that self-esteem is no stranger to his
mind.
In spite of the assumed stolidity, you may de
tect the self-constraipt and the furtive regards
| of a very vain man, who is trying to appear as
if he were not vain at all. Although his eyes
: are downcast, they have not the downcast look
of modesty, hut rather ofa sort of supercilious
ness, which is the most striking expression on
the face. He seems to look down because he
considers it too much trouble to look up. But
a further study leads you to think that your first
impressions have been erroneous. You see that
the intellectual preponderates in Mr. D Israeli’s
organization, and bv degrees, you begin to be
| lieve that he is ns much absorbed as he seems
jto be. Like Nit Robert Peel, lie appears to
j isolate himself—to_ have no associates in the
House, except those forced on him by the iiu
| mediate necessity of pat ty. This isolation and
- self absorption are equally conspicuous whether
Ihe is quiescent or in activity. Observe him any
i where about the House, in the lobbies, or in the
I committee rooms—you never see him in camfi
i dential communication with any one. All in
lets of information and impression seem as if
j they were violently closed up by an effort of the
! will. Yet we know,from Mr. D’israeli’sspeeeh
!os ami writings, that he is keenly alive to the
j slightest and most impalpable changes going on
\ around him—that, in fact, his intellect must he !
ever oti the watch, although, to an observer, it
seems to be in a state of self-imposed torpor.
Nee him where you will, he glides past you
noiselessly, without being apparently conscious
of the existence of externals, and more like the
shadow than the substance ofa man. Involun
tarily he comports himself like one possessed
by a melancholic monomania, and who has no
i natural relations with the realities of life. When
| lie is speaking, he equally shrouds himseifin his
! own intellectual atmosphere. Y'ott would think
he paid no regard to the thought of whom he
was addressing, but only to the ideas be was
enunciating in words. Still with downcast eyes
still with what may almost be called a torpor of
the physical powers, he seems more an intellec
tual abstraction than a living, breathing man of
passions and sympathtes. If someone of his
friends interrupts him to offer a friendlg sugges
tion, or to correct a mis-statement of facts the
chances are that he will not notice him at all,
or, if he does, that it will with a gesture of im
patience, or with something like a snarl, as
when a man is grinding a hand organ if his
hand suddently be stopped, the pipes utter a
slight discordant moan.
This singular self-absorption betrays itself
even when he is in a sitting posture. You never
see him gazing around him, or lolling hack in
his seat, or seeking to take his ease as oti e
meni o in the intervals political excitement.—
He sts with his head rigid, his body contracted
his arms closely pinned to his side, as though
he were an automaton. He looks like one *oi
those stone figures of ancient Egypt, that ern
body the idea of mentionless quiescence forever.

A Victim of Love.
* bimon Girty, what brought you here?” said
the Mayor to an inebrated individual, this
morning, as he closed his trials.
“A watchman, please your Honor,” replied
Simon.
‘ What did he bring you fori”
“Ah, sir, that is more than I know. Since
I have become a victim of ”
‘lntemperance 1”
* ‘No, sir, not of intemp ranee, although I of
ten drown mv sorrows in the bacchanalian
cup—but of love—of love sir—since I have be
come a victim of love, I trouble myseit but
little in regard to what becomes ot me.”
“Are you in love, Simon!”
‘ Oh ! please, sir, don’t pierce my heart with
such an inquiry ! iam a victim—a heart bro
ken victim to that strongest of all passions
which rakes the human heart.”
“Can yott not tell us your tale of sorrow,
Simon?” kindly asked the Marshal, “we may
have it in our power to relieve you. Here
(pointing to the reporters) are a number of
gentlemen of the press, and It you only excite
their sympathies, they might do something for
you,”
“Youjthat have tears to shed prepare to shed
them now,” responded Simon, as he learned
against the table, as if he intended to tell a long
as well as sorrowful tale, ‘ You see gentle
men,” he proceeded, ‘ that lam a fallen man.
The fire ot energy no longei lights my eyes,
the rosy hue of health blooms not upon my
cheeks, and my hair is assuming the color of
old age. Gentlemen, lam the victim of love,
and would be obliged to one of you fur a chaw

He was supplied with the weed.
“Two years ago, 1 first met Mary Mayfield,
and oh ! heavens, how it makes my heart trem
ble to mention that name. N’he was matchless
in beauty, a queen in action, and was most
lovely to look upon. Ah ! gentlemen, need I
tell you that she stole 1113’ heart ? That my
whole soul was wrapped in her endearing charms
and that I forgot all things, saw nothing, felt
nothing, save sweet Mary Mayfield ! Driven by
desperation, I threw myself at her feet, begged
her to take me as her slave. Tears were in my
eyes, and bowed before her queenly person, j
felt utterly powerless. Imagine, gentlemen, my
compasion, my horror, iny torment, when she
gave me a slight push with he delicate foot, and
said to me— ‘Go ‘long, you dirty scrub you,’ aint
got money enough for this child ! ’’
Simon here covered his face with his hands
.as it to hide his agony. Recovering in a few
moments, he proceeded :
“1 instantly resolved to drown myself, and
proceeded at once to put my resolution into
operation. Having from my’ childhood days a
dread of the external application of cold water,
I resorted to the slower hut more agonizing
mode of drowning myself by the internal ad
ministration of liquors more congenial to my
sense ol leeling. 1 have drank, drank and drank,

Parties ttud Fashions this Season.
Tilt* Home Journal discourses upon soci.il
parties and fashions this winter, after the follow
ing manner:
Grand parties tire less in vogue, while enter
tainments of a more domestic character, pat tak
ing of the “Come and spend the evening with
us,” with some of the features of the ball, are
| greatly in favor both in New York and London.
: Such parties are called in London and Paris,
i “Times dansantes,” and they are recorded in the
; Court Journal and Morning Herald with in
creasing frequency. The company assembles
rather early in the evening, tea is provided, but
no supper,and the affair is over by eleven o’clock.
Matinees —a kind of party which wo admire less
than any other—are still in fashion. This exclu
sion of tiie cheering light of day, and the substi
tution of the sickly glare of gas, are in question
able taste, particularly in a country where eve
ry gentleman has, or is supposed to have, or tit
least ought to have, something to do in the day
time. Dinner parties are more numerous than
formerly, and the dining hour recedes further to
wards the large hours of the evening. The
furniture and decorations of the dinner-table are
becoming truly regal in their costliness and
splendor, particularly the porcelain and plate.—
Republican simplicity is a phrase which finds no
illustration at the banquets of our “merchant
princes.” “Receptions” are the rage—ladies se
lecting a morning, gentlemen an evening, upon
which they are invariably “at home.” The
custom is, in some respects, a highly convenient
one, though it frequently becomes not a little
ridiculous, as it involves a question not always
easy of solution. - The question is,—What de
gree of elevation in the world of fashion justifies
a lady, and what degree ot consequence in the
world generally warrants a gentleman, in insti
tuting a weekly “Reception ? ’ A mistake on
this delicate point not unfrequentlv detains a la
dy “at home” in solitude, and deprives a gentle
man of entertainment abroad, which the non
reception of any guest at all, prevents his en
| joying “at home.” Douiit on this point, howev
er, as in science, can he settled only by experi
ment. With regard to dress, splendor aud mag
nificence are emphatically the order of the day.
Diamonds sparkle in every parte of the room ;
and there is lar more variety, and perhaps origi
nality, in costumes, than we have ever before
observed. We fancy that Madame Sonfag’s
example may have had an influence in this heigh
tened taste for magnificence ; also the unprece
dented number of ladies who have visited Eu
rope, within the last year or two.
The kind of dancing which has been jocosely
styled the “affectionate,” isgettiug into disrepute,
and the more formal and elaborate (Luces of the
olden time are returning to favor. We trust the -
insipid polka and the schottisch will not be much
longer preferred in good circles. Unless we are
greatly* deceived, society is becoming more re
fined, more easy, and more rational. The
“Lorgnette” was not written in vain. There is
a decided inclination to earlier hours, less eating
and drinking, more conversation, and smaller
companies.”
Return of Fugitives.— The Richmond En
quirer of the 15th inst., gives the following il
lus ration of practical abolitionism:
“Two slaves, who ran oft’from the estate of
the late Win. Tefft, of Parkersburg, Va., about
two years ago, and went to Ohio, have recently
voluntarily returned to slavery’, on the ground
that they were suffering from want of food, and
were unable to procure work. Three others,
who ran off at the same time, we;e also anx
ious to return, hut were prevented by the abo
litionists, who forcibly detained their children.”
An English gentleman attached to the Em
bassy a t Madrid, sought the hand of the Coun
tless Telia, and was so confident of success,
: that he offered to bet five to one that she would
refuse Louis Napoleon !

The Marriage of Col. May.
A New York correspondent of the Albany
Express, referring to the marriage of Col.
Charles May, U. S. Army, to Miss Josephine
Law, daughter of George Law, Esq., the steam
ship millionaire, says:
“The nuptials were celebrated in solemn
grandeur at the Dutch Reformed Church on 21st
street, at 7 o’clock, P. M., and at 0 o’clock the
bride and bridegroom were received at the man
sion of Mr. Law, on sth avenue, by the compa
ny invited to participate in the festivities. ‘The
bride was arrayed in a splendid white satin dress,
covered with rich Mechlin lace, the cost of
which, independent ofjewels, was -51,500. The
company,numbering four hundred, were welcom
ed at Mr. Law’s hospitable mansion by the sou!
stirring music of the Governor’s Island hand.—
At 10 o’clock, Munck’s celebrated artists gave
the signal for the merry dance, which was hear
tily responded to, and continued till supper time.
‘The tables were laden with tiie choicest game,
the finest wines, and all the delicacies which the
imagination can conjecture. After supper, danc
ing was resumed. ‘The company comprised the
wealthiest and most respectable of our citizens,
and the display of beauty and of riches would
seem incredible.”

single-breasted, standing collar, steel buttons,
braided and gilt. The old black was a very un
pretending garment—and as it would last indefi
nitely for parties, it was cheap—very cheap,
compared with its more conspicuous successor.
It has had a pretty long reign—survey ing some
half-dozen French dynasties, ami yet the Paris

We are infprmed a

and unanimity of sentiment. We learn .
object in view is an organization by which
attempts at the passing of liquor laws in Geo>
gia, as loeently agitated and enacted in other
States, may be forestalled, and at the same time
to assert the probity of their pursuit, and repel
such aspersions as inay tend in the eyes of the
public to lessen ils-moral rectitude. Mr. Win.
, Davidson was called to the chair, who present
ed his views substantially as follows:
“Gentlemen :
* “Having been called on to preside as Chair
man of this meeting, I consider it proper to
state to you my views in relation to the object of
the call, as far as I understand it.
“First, —That it is the object of the meeting to
form an Association for the protection, of the
rights and privileges to which we are entitled
in the prosecution of an honorable and legitimate
business.
“ Second . —Believing the business we are en
gaged in, as Grocers and Liquor dealers, to be
legitimate, honorable and just in its calling, .ve
deem it our duty to oppose, by all lawful and
just means, any attempt of legislation derogato
ry to our interests, whereby infringements might
bemade up on our rights as citizens of the Uni
ed Stales.
“Third.— As union is strength, it is our de
sire to co-operate in the adoption of proper
measures to sustain our rights against any un
just interference of a certain portion of our com
munity who are using active measures to injure
us in our business, and would therefore, as Chair
man, suggest the propriety of calling the atten
tion of all interested, not only in this city but
throughout the State, that they also might unite
with us tit maintaining our just privileges against
all fanatical prejudices.
“And with these observations would recom
mend your passing such resolutions as may be
requisite, also appointing committees to carry
them into effect.”
Remarks were made by different persons, and
a committee of five appointed to adopt appro
priate resolutions. The meeting then adjourned,
subject to the call of the Chairman.
The Southern Pulpit on Slavery. —Tho Rev.
Mr. Clapp, of New Orleans, in his thanksgiving
discourse, preached in that city, remarked as
follows:
A northern minister said to me last summer :
“1 would not pass mv life antid the slavery of
Louisiana, even on the condition of being made
proprietor of the whole State.” I will not wea
ry you by a repetition of my well known views
concerning slavery. But i say, with absolute
sincerity, that the Africans held in servitude at
the South are, in general, much better treated
than the colored people in part of the free States.
1 go farther; we cannot at present discharge
our Christian duties without retaining them in
bondage. 1 have seen more cruelty in Massa
chusetts than in Louisiana.
In spite of the outrageous caricatures of
Uncle Tom’s Cabin, there is more suffering in
iny native State in one year by the ruthless
breaking up of poor families and the everlasting
separation of parents and children, than the
slaves in Louisiana have suffered from the same
source during the thirty-one years of my resi
dence here. ‘The romance which I have just
mentioned is a tissue of the basest untruth, and
the most erroneous injustice. I would no more
write such a hook, if 1 could, than 1 would com
mit murder, or set my neighbor's house in Haines

thereby the patans of all the abolitionists in New
and Old England, and the entire gold of Cali

The time is coining when she may weep in bit

Rohe, Dec. 26,1852.
Yesterday being Christinas I had the pleasure
of seeing the l’ope. I had seen him many limes
before, but never in important functions. He is
a good-natured, pleasant looking man and repu
ted to be so among the people by whom he is
much loved. ‘The liberality of the government
in ISIB is credited to him ; its returning despot
ism to the influence of others who overruled him.
It may be doubted if be have the wisdom, decis
ion and nerve necessary to a good ruler. His
goodness, love and sympathy with all men make
him unsafe aud imprudent. All say that, did it
depend upon him, the people would have every
thing they desire. He is thought to have very
little to do with the present government. The
Cardinal Antonelii, Secretary of State, a pale,
silent, thoughtful man is the ruling spirit.
‘The Pope apparently fifty yeais of age, about
five feet nine incites high, of full habit and round
fat lace. If it have any expression it is tiiat of
extreme goo.l nature and simpleness of heart.—
Worldly cares are doubtless irksome to him.
He is precisely what you would expect a good
man to be who, ns priest, bishop and cardinal,
had spent his life in close retirement in the little
town of Siiiigaglia. His election was so imam
mouse that, considering each vote in the holy
Conclave was giving without the knowledge of
the other, it is quite miraculous. ‘The Pope was
neither rich nor of high birth and, a plain, sitnplo
man, makes no claim to aristocratic pretensions.
His family relatives and early friends and neigh
bors, however, a • saiit to be ambitious and con
tinually [ires; i ig him to do something to put
them on an equality with those of other Pope’s.
Though kind, he is said to lie quite unwilling to
indulge them in a course of fashionable folly
and profligacy. He has, however, done much
for his native town in encoraging shools and
establishing a college.
Tiie common Popal dress is a white flannel
gown, with sieves of the same material, not un
like a morning-wrapper, and fastened around
the waist with a wollen cord. The stockings
are of coarse wollen also, white and well knit.
‘The shoes are of good thick leather fastened
with a buckle and marked with the sign of the
Cross. His head is shaved in token of prest
hoori. A small skull cap covers tho part shav
ed. St. Peter’s ring is on his finger and the
keys of heaven and bell bang from bis side.—
The wlmle wardrobe of his holiness would not
cost five dollars. This is bis common daily
dress when receiving visitors and meeting the
Conclave in his Cabinet. He drives out each
afternoon, escorted by outriders aud a troop of
horse. The Cardinal Antonelii is generally
with him, also his private Chaplain and Secreta
ry. All poople seeing or hearing the Papal
cortege coming, kneel and with bare heads bow
to the earth till it is past. The Pope blesses the
crowd on one side with two fingers; the Cardi
nal Antonelii salutes those on tiie other with a
gracious bow. His Holiness is very fond of tiie
country. I suppose when a few miles out ho
descends from the carriage and picks flowers
and does like other men. He is said to be a
good botanist.
‘The proper state dress of the Pope is very
costly. The triple crown is the richest known.
It is in shape like a cone and has tiirec circles of
precious stones, set in a ground of white silk.—
In the entire one is very costly ruby, though not
so large as that in Queen Victoria’s; in the up
per circle a precious amethyst. The robe is < /
white silk very richly emhroided and flowing
gracefully to the ground. The train is carried
by two or four priests, sometimes by Cardinals.
His slippers are of white silk, richly worked
and marked with the sign of the Cross.
