8 THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION, NOVEMBER 8,1881. f[', jfr RAMBLES IN ROME. REVIEWING THE WORKS OF THE ANCIENTS. A Graphic Account of Ncwlj Hoveled Rain.??? In- prcialona Hade By the Wonders of the City of the Caeeare???Churches mad Chapels Vis. ited and Belies Chatted About. Special Correspondence Constitution. Home, Italy, August 29.???Rome is truly a treasury of antiquities???a city of wonders. Long-buried monuments are being exhumed every day, and more than half of the temtory within the'walls remains an unknown country to the present generation. When the railway entered the city, by an opening in the wall of Aurelian, the excavation necessary to lay the track on u level revealed a portion of the old wall of Servius Tullius, built 5G0 years before the Christian era. Here, then, is a piece of masonry, in a state of preservation, that is 2,400 years old! It is astonishing to see how these old workmen performed their tasks. The far-famed Homan cement, twenty-five hundred years old, is harder than granite, and delies the assaults of time. Near the ancient site of the old Fhuninian gate, is the l???iazza del Popolo, or the square of the people. On the left the I'incian hill has l>cen terraced and planted, and now forms a fashionable drive. This piazza of the people is the terminus of three principal streets, one leading to the railway terminus; one tracing the hanks of the Tiber, and the center is the famous Corso, which terminates at the Homan forutu and the capital. On this piazza of the people is the church of Santa Maria del Popolo, in whose monastery. Martin Luther lived when he was in Rome. On the Corso street is the house in which Goethe lived, and as wc pass toward the forum there arc numer ous objects of interest. Indeed, Rome is a wilderness of curiosities. Turn in whatever direction you may, some memorial of pagan antiquity confronts you. The triumphal arch of Antoninus Pius was thrown down from its place In the Corso, be cause it interfered with the races in time of tlic carnival! Alexandria VII. did this, and two of the columns are now in .the church of tit. Agnese, and two others in a chapel of St John Lateran. The column of Marcus Aure lius, built in A. D. 174, is 125 feet high, formed of 28 blocks of marble, covered with bas-reliefs in bronze, and surmounted now by a colossal statue of St. Peter. Pope Sixtus V. ???purged the column of all iniquity,??? ac cording to a Latin inscription on the base, and dedicated it to the patron saint of Rome The Italian chamber of deputies is near by, and at a little distance is the old temple of Neptune transformed into a custom house??? a most appropriate use, no doubt. A few minutes??? walk brings us to tlic finest hum tain in Rome, the fountain of Trcvi, recently connected with the insult to the shrine of the Virgin Mary. The water of this fountain was first brought to Rome by M. Agrippa, U. C., 27j and is called Aqua Virgine. Oceanus on a car, with statues of fertility and salubrity, and of the four seasons, form a group, anti tlic cool waters afibrd a refreshing luunging-placc on a summer afternoon. As fur back as 1812 excavations hail revealed the forum of Trojan, with a lofty column from which the emperor???s statue has been dethroned, anil St. Peter is again elevated to the height of 128 feet. Ascending a steep hill we come to the old Roman Capitol. Here is a bronze statue of Marcus Aurelius, taken from its former place in the forum, by Michael Angelo. Entering the museum of the capital we find ourselves in the midst of several thousand antiquarian objects. Here are sar cophagi, vases, and statues from Egypt, in cluding several memorials of Queen Cleopatra ami a line marble bust of Isis. Collected from villas, from the hills and valleys around Rome and front pagan temples within it, are pillars and statues, and works of art of almost every conceivable form, in inurbic, alabaster, bronze and porphyry, the products of Grecian skill. Brought to Rome by the conquerors of Greece, many of these statues were placed in the Roman * temples, to be again removed, baptized by holy water and placcdsidc by side With Christian emperors ana popes. I enjoyed very much the collection of busts of the Roman emperors and men of fume. They are all here???poets, historians, warri ors, orators, statesmen. From the blind Homer of Greece to the last of her hards and sages, from tlic fabled Romulus and Remus down to the last of the popes that has gone to render his account. Time would fail me to 1 recount the impressions of a few hours??? study in this museum. Here is Brutus, who mur dered Ctesar, not in the form that artists have given him m modi rn days, but as bis country men and contemporaries knew him. The head is small, the forehead low, mid the whole contour that of a man with narrow mind, and capable of any act of desperate fanaticism. Nero???s head, also, is indicative ot a brutal nature. A large neck, but little smaller in deed than the lateral diameter of the skull, the expression of the face is sullen and sinister. Conunodus is in the dress of an actor, a fitting garb for a man who allowed his empire to go to ruin whilst lie was playing Uie comedian before tiie footlights of Rome. Julius Ctesar is a man of small stat ure, lean, wrinkled, and melancholy face. Thera is nothing in it denoting tlic statesmen or the warrior. Indeed, if we are to trust these busts, the products of the age in which the men lived, and many of them from casts made on the living subject, the great majority of these celebratea men were below the aver age stature of our times. The heads almost all small and narrow. * The few exceptions to this rule are, some of them, the very cases which we would least expect to he so. Marcus Aurelius, one of the best public men of his time, lias a decidedly sour and forbidding countenance. Seneca, whose preserved works approach in moral and elevated tone to the writings of St. Paul, has a face that is really painful to study. Caligula, who wished that all the world had but one head that lie might sever it at a blow, is, in appearance, a man of large and benevo lent genius. Thus, we might trace agree ments and disagreements with the teachings of modern phrenology and physiogononiy, almost equally divided. The bust of Cicero gives the best conception of the orator I have seen. Demosthenes is quite the reverse. So, we might linger over these venerable memo rials for days anil weeks. The Roman forum has only been recently excavated, and the work is still going on, many of the finest worfcs of Roman antiquity liaviiig been found only a lew years ago; some of them last year, and others this spring. Indeed, I saw a beautiful marble eoiumn, just rolled out of its tomb last week. There are the ruins of three temples, of Concord, of Vespasian, and of Saturn almostinagroup. Modern Rome is at least thirty feet higher than the pavements of these old temples, in some places, and twelve or fifteen in others. The tides of time,of barbarian Goth and Chris tian invasion, reduced old Rome to rubbish, anil then built anew upon the ruins. Out of tiiis accumulated superstructure of dust and earth the old relics are now being recovered. Tlic triuiu plial arid ics of Sovcnes.of Titus and of Constantine remain more or less perfect, and the famous baths of Caraeallaastound the visitor by their proportions. Sixteen hundred jieople could bathe in one of them at the same rime. Whole acres of ground are covered with juighty ruins, walls of concrete and brick one hundred and twenty feet high stand in frag ments, huge and threatening to fall, and yet the winds and rains and storms of seventeen centumes have failed to uproot them from their solid bases. The mosaic floors in many places are per fect. In the palace of the ??? Ciesars, a Chris tian scholar lias food for thought for many days. ^Thcrc are private dining-rooms with frescoes of fruits and flowers, plainly, and some beautifully delineated on the walls. Here are the emperor???s throne room and judgment hall, in which latter place the Apostle Paul pleaded his cause before Ctesar. Here is the place in which the emperor sat, and just before it, the spot where Paul made his appeal when all men forsook him. Un derneath, in curious rooms, without windows, and long and narrow, are the dwelling places where ???they of Ctesar 1 # household??? dwelt, who were converts of Paul. Beyond the tlirone room is the great dining hall, fit for an emperor indeed, and hard by, opening upon it, is the magnificent fountain whose musical waters cooled tl ,e summer air, whilst the host, with a thousand guests, sat down to dinner. In passing may I not suggest a query in regard to the ???lean and hungry look??? of the Roman nobles? May not the disgusting custom of taking an emetic before going to a feast, have something to do with the physical conformation of these pagan epicures? To make room for more, the whole process of digestion was arrested, and the overtaxed stomach failed to perform its work of assimi lation. The fact is evident, that, in Cicero???s time, this was a custom, however absurd and repulsive it may appear to us. Taking down the Appian Way, we pass the arch of Drusus, the tombs of the Scipios, the temple of Mars, the tomb of Getta, and come to the famous catacombs. Thirty feet under ground, through narrow cuts, with a taper in liand, I wandered over many acres of these subterranean tombs. Here are chapels, with painting and frescoes, where the early Christians met to worship God when the sword of Ctesar was drawn to cut them off from the earth. Here, in layers, one over the other, the bodies of their dead were placed. These were seldom five feet in height, and many hundreds of them were for children. I should think that a man of or dinary stature in our days could scarcely be laid at full length in any of these graves. But enclosed in marble cottins, with lid hernieti cally sealed, wc can now see the actual form of some of these dead persons. The hair upon the head is still preserved, anil the whole out line of the body. The ghastly spectacle, in such a place, caused an involuntary shiver. The bones of thousands of these persecuted followers of Christ have been taken away, to perform miracles in churches, or to attract the curiosity anil stimulate the devotion of people in many lands. Going out of a sum mer???s sun into these deep caverns, the cool air at first was pleasant,anil then disagreeable. My guide insisted upon my being prepared for the change by a glass of wine, which I took, and saw the reason afterwards for the precaution. This is a melancholy sight, these myriads of death couches in the deep bosom of the eartli???these secret plaees where early Christianity held to her faith until in tli???e Providence of Goil, deliverance came. Beyond the catacombs we find the tomb of Romulus, those of Cecilia Metalla, of Senaca, and the Curatii. There are many not as yet identified. It was a prosy scone I witnessed at the tomb of Seneca. A countryman, ill very ragged and very dirty costume, lay at full length in the shadow of the mounil, whilst his bony horse stood munching liis liay with great deliberation. The one of those two animals knew as much of the locality as the other. Wliat was Senaca to man or lioree? Perhaps the old philosopher had many neigh bors like this man, equally unconcerned, and equally unconscious of those mighty problems that disturb the anxious heads and hearts of the wise. Perhaps it is ???folly to be wise.??? Returning from my long ramble on tlic Ap pian Way, through the bleak anil desolate Canipagiia, I came to the Pauline gate, to visit the church of St. Paul. This church was burned down the night of the death of Clement VII., in 1823, and the new one is not yet fully completed, but only the front remains to he finished. The interior is very beautiful. The church is 432 feet in length, 203 in width, and is in the shape of a Latin cross, with a ceiling 110 feet high. It con tains, according to ???tradition,??? the body of St. Paul. The beautiful columns, the pol ished marble floor, the portraits of the popes, with thirteen places remaining for successors, and the solemn silence within its walls???all these things were fruitful of reflection. From whence comes the money that is expended on this building? Has not the ???fullness of time??? come to cease piling up these stupendous works among a people who do not need, and do not use them? For, as I shall show, by and by, all the worshippers I saw in six of the principal churches of Rome could be accom modated at one time in any one of the churches in Atlanta. I mean to say that on the Sabbath day in Rome, morning and evening, early aiiil late, I was in six churches, spending the day in turn, with the exception of two hours after noon, an that all the con gregations put together would not till the smallest church 1 know in Atlanta. Where, then, is the use of taxing, an impoverished people to put up marble teniplesand splendid works of architecture when the handwriting on the wall???????weighed in the balance and found wanting.??? 1 My visit to St. Peter???s was early in the day. both on account of the heat at noon and be cause I wished to see the church at the most fortunate hour, the light being best in the morning. Before entering the building I made the circuit of its walls, a proceeding necessary to give the spectator a conception of the magnitude of the structure. The circuin ference is over 800 yards, or nearly half a mile, Entering the Piazza San Peitro.we have before us two semi-circular colonailes, consisting of four rows of columns in each, 43 feet high, and 142 columns and 45 pilasters on each side. The space enclosed by these columns is 52 feet in width. In this* elliptical space, called the Piazza San Pietro,the great coloseum could be placed with over 200 feet each way to spare. It is in this large court that the people in former times assembled to receive the papal benediction, his holiness standing in the central balcony of the church. The vestibule of St. Peter???s is 235 feet long, 42 feet wide and 66 feet high. The church, from wall to wall, is 651 feet long, 449 feet wide across the transepts, and the nave is 153 feet high. The great cupola is 141 feet in diameter in the interior, and from the ground to the top of the cross is 470 feet in height. I have seen some statements of disappointed visitors on first entering the church, the building appearing to them much smaller than the reality. Possibly, because I had al ready measured its circumference, this effect was not produced upon me. Neither did I see some effects of contrast which the guide en deavored to show me. I had formed my standard of mental measurement, anil every thing within appeared to me in its real, anil not in an illusory aspect. To say that the effect upon the spectator is sublime, that there is no single room in tlie world to compui with this magnificent building, is to make feeble attempt at description. Viewing its seven chapels which are designated as of pe culiar sanctity to the devotee???the high altar at which the pope celebrates the mass???the ???chair of St. Peter??? in the rear???the display of silver and gold, and bronze, and-gilt, anil works of art in sculpture, fresco, mosaic and paintings, one leaves the place with a sense of oppression upon the mind. We need not turn over the pages of history, with whose darkest annals this famous building 5 ~ inscperably united, to realize a sense of melancholy and sorrowful reflec tion upon the weakness of human nature. There, under that magnificent cano py, they tell us is the body of St. Peter, yet every impartial reader of history knows that there is no proof that Peter was ever in Rome at all. In ll:e stairway down to the Mainer- tine prison, my guide??? showed me the place where St. Peter struck his head against the rock, and cut a place in it more than two inches deep, tlie full size of a man???s head and face! The ear, the nyse, the chin, the lips even, are shown in tlic indented rock, and a silver grating covers this spot. A moment???s examination will show that this hole in the rock of the prison has been cut out by the ?????? guide, on giving me the particulars, sagely remarked, as lie de scended the steps, that St. Peter???sjlieau must have been much harder than his, to make such a hole! When men of sober sense???men of profound ability in all other things, can accent such absurdities as truth, can there be any limit to human credulity? The Vatican museum and the Sistine chape have been often described, and, in the former, a hasty survey only reproduces the impres sions made in other great collections of tlie arts. In the scope of its treasures???the com prehensive character of its works???the Vati can is without a rival. The name of Raphael identified with this building. It contains his masterpieces in fresco. Hjs great picture of the transfiguration is here, and bv most critics this is regarded as the greatest of his works. As a judge of art, which I am not, I cannot say that the painter lias given either a sensible or a scriptural interpretation to that wonderful scene. Not to dwell on the fact that tlie lower part of tlie nicture was not painted by Raphael, hut painted after his death by Romano, there are grave defects in the body of the work. There appears to he, among these old artists, no concep tion of historical truth, or any desire to avoid anachfbnisms. For??? exam- lie, there is a large picture which s called ???The Madonna da Foligno,??? which represents St. John the Baptist, St. Francis and St. Jerome appealing to the Virgin Mary to shield the town from the cannon balls, and, as a consequence, the balls are turned. from their straight course, made to describe an arc over the town, anil fall harmless on the other side! This is one of Raphael???s pictures, and is much admired. But I cannot put out of view this incongruous medley of persons sepa rated from each other by more than a thou sand years of time. To bring them together in one scene may do very well for the annals of romance arid fable, but to teach these things for truth, is to destroy the moral sense, and render the mind incapable of discerning between truth anil error. My guide, in this museum committed no greater absurdity than tins picture does, when he showed me the bust of Esculapius, the Greek goil of medi cine, and told me ???he was a great friend of Cassar Augustus!??? The Sistine chapel, from its great height of ceiling aiid narrowness does not seem to be as large as it really is. It is 133 feet long, 45 wide and over 100 feet high. This is, par ex cellence, the Pope???s chapel, and, in tne rear, is the frame of the celebrated papal chair, now denuded of its ornaments, anil looking like any other stuffed and padded pieceofan- tique furniture. There was no special virtue in sitting down in the pope???s chair, but the visitor can hardly refrain from doing so, when he finds it stored away in a quiet cor ner, remote from observation. I have pre served no consciousness of ???infallibility??? from the experiment, although I am pursuaded that. I have about as much of the real article as the pleasant-faced old gentleman who fills this chair when all the ornaments are on it. The pope does not come to this chapel now, Tlie great crucifix is taken down, and I met only two or three tourists,with guide books in hand,making notes upon the paintings on the wall. W. P. H.

Haunt's Self-Murder With Morphine- John William Magill, at one time a representa tive of the United States government to the Brazil ian courts, suicided Friday morning at his resi dence in this city/ About eleven o???clock Thursday night Mrs. Magill was awakened by the loud breathing of her husband, but as he was subject to asthma she thought nothing of it at first. Finally, how ever, his breathing became so distressing that she called to him to ascertain the trouble. He did not respond and she arose, lighted the gas and at tempted to arouse him from a stupor in which he seemed to be. In this she was unsuccess ful, and, becoming frightened, called a memberof the household,ivho quickly responded, and who, after seeing the gentleman, suggested the necessity of a physician. A messenger was then sent for Dr. Fishbum.but he was out, and Dr.Nicol- son was called in. Soon after reaching the bedside the doctor saw that the man was suffering from the effects of poison, and asked what he had been taking. Mrs. Magill said that she did not think he had been taking anything that he was subject to asthma and that she pre sumed he was laboring under an attack of that disease. Dr. Nicolson-then examined the gentle man???s condition closely and, alter looking at his eyes, said that he had taken morphine, and that unless something was done instantly death would certainly ensue. He then sent for Dr. A. G. Hobbs, but before he arrived Mr.Magill was beyond all aid, and although every possible remedy was applied his death was the result. After Dr. Hobbs reached the bedside the electric battery was used, and hypodermic injection also. At about !) o???clock he died, and with his death ended a life that once promised a different finale. While tending their patient the physicians found on the floor beside the bed a piece of tin foil which had once covered u morphine bottle, and in a short time the bottle which it had covered was found On a nail beside the bed hung the dead man??? pants, and after every nook and corner in the room had been searched the bottle was found in one Qf the pockets. The cork hud been pushed inside and about three-fourths of the deadly drug was gone, and thus the assertion of the physician was confirmed. Late in ih?? evening Coromer Hilburu organized a jury of inquest and began an investigation of the the death and the causes leading thereto. y Dr. Hobbs, one of the attending physicians testi fied that he was called to see the deceased early yesterday morning; that he was then in a dying condition, and that the symptoms were of-opium poison. This statement was corroborated by Drs. W. F. Sadler and W. P. H. Fishburn, Mr. Clark Howell and Mrs. W. II. Thomas, all of whom had seen the deceased before his death. I)r. Fishburn also stated that the de ceased lame to hisjollice late Thursday evening, and asked him how much morphine would kill a man; how laige a bulk wasa grain, how long after taking would death result, and when informed, re marked that lie had won his bet and left. Later in the evening he again met the deceased, and after short conversation with him, tlie deceased said: ???This is the last time you will shake hands with me, as I am going away.??? ??? Mr. R. G. Thompsou testified that he had seen the deceased about 9 o???clock, Thursday morning; that he asked for employment and seemed quite depressed, and remarked that it is hard to find work. After this evidence had been deposed post mortem examination was made by Dr. Fisfiburn, who subsequent to an analysis of the contents of the dead man???s stomach, in the pres ence of tiie jury, stated that death was the result of an overdose of sulphate of morphia, and the ver dict of the jury was suicide.

New York???The cotton market during the past week has been remarkably quiet and steady, and no material change has yet taken place. The pres ent condition of the market is such that very little can be said of it and its probable tendency for the next few days cannot now be determined. At the close to-day a steady feeling prevailed with the months only a shade in advance of the quotations of one week ago. Transactions for future delivery have been comparatively small, and speculators seem to manifest very little interest in it just now. It is thought that the general market will be more active during the com ing week. The spot market is quietond steady and middling still quoted at ll%e. Netjreceipts have gained considerably this week, and the movement of cotton has been heavy.
