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. [From the German.] My heart! I bid thee answer— How are love’s marvels wrought ! “Two hearts to one pulse beating, 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. —Critical Biographies, by G. H.

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 of tobacco.” 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, hut as yet have not succeeded. lam now out of means, and if any of you gentlemen could furnish me with the dimes to purchase a few more drams, I think I will he able to accom plish my purpose. Can't you lend a fellow a picayune !” 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 ! j NUMBER 9 Important from Mexico—The Tehuantepec Question Settled. New Okleaxs, Fyb. 21, P M* Mr. Albert Spicer arrived here to dy iie the Albatros, from Vera Cruz. Mr. Spicer left the city’ of Mexico on the 11th inst.,T*ifh dispatch es for Washington. He also brings the ‘Tehu antepec contract, which has Bben awarded to Mr. A. G.

Commfesitmgrs had al so been appointed to treat with t!it American Minister relative to the and the protection of the Isthmus. ‘The Mexican Boundary Commissioners also arrived in the Albatros. They are ea route for Metamoras to meet the American Commis sioners. The Telegraphic Line between Vera Cruz and the Cit y of Mexico, was continually inter rupted by the disaffected among the commu nity. ‘The Government had experienced another change, Ceballos having resigned, and been succeeded by Lambarding, who was to serve as President until a popular election took place.— Uraga had arrived in the City of Mexico, but took no active part in political movements. It is believed, however, that he will declare him self Dictator when his troops arrive. Another Commissioner had left Vera Crue on the. Ist inst., to visit Santa Anna and request his re turn, and Puebla and Vera Cruz had pronounced against his restoration to power. Commercial j affairs had declined, and business was much de pressed. 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.” oO”Tnis black uuess coat is doomed. An ukase of His Imperial Highness, Napoleon 111 has banished it from tiie saloons of Paris—and. as Paris gives the vogue to till the world, we may soon see it disappear from this Western hemisphere. Its successor is a blue velvet, 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 writers deplore its demise. They fear that the j gentlemen, in adopting the style of glaring col ors and decorated dress, will eclipse the ladies, or force them to resort to ruinous extravagance to maintain their superiority. Railroads.—Extension of the. South- Western Rad Road. —The Engineers are now actively engaged in surveying a route from Oglethorpe to Americas. They have passed over one of the proposed lines, and find the distance to he nine teen and a half miles. They are now on a sec ond route, and will probably survey a third, when one of them will he selected. The pros pects are highly favorable frr the early comple tion of this road. All the stock required to he taken by the citizens of Sumter, has been sub scribed for, and the first instalment paid in. The terminus of this road, must, for some time, remain at Atnericus, which is now a flour ishing village. Owing to its established char acter for health, handsome location, and the high reputation of its inhabitants, it will be re sorted to as a place of residence for many weal thy planters residing in less favored sections ; and we would not be surprised it’ it should, in a few years, be equal in business and population to any other town in South-Western Georgia.— Jour, dp Mess.

[From the 8a Anti-Liquor Law \ “V v Grocers We are infprmed a gathering of the Grocers o. at the Armory Hall, on Wt They numbered upwards of eign proceedings were characterized by b 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 at midnight; no ! not even if I were sure to gain thereby the patans of all the abolitionists in New and Old England, and the entire gold of Cali fornia. God have mercy on the fair authoress! The time is coining when she may weep in bit terness of soul over the fatal consequences of her ineffable folly. From the Savannah Courier. l.etter from Abroad. 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.
