ANEcDoTE OF THE PRESENT PoPR-In Rome
lately, rich lord, father Of two young men, wish.
ed to constitute one of them his universal legatee
only imposing on him, as was believed, deed of
trust for the benefit of the church. The two sons
informed Of the intention of their father. with
whose eccentric character they were acquainted,
resolved without regard to his orders to divide his
fortune equally. The father irritated by this re-
sistance to his commands, made another will which
he deposited sealed, with the protho-notary of the
holy seat. BY this act he reduced his two sons to
a bare support, and bequeathed all his wealth to
the priest who should chance to say the first mass
the day of his funeral The protho-notary, in.
formed some time after the decease of the testator
opened this singular deed, and thought it his duty
to take it to the pope before its contents could be
known. The Pope Plus TX having received thu
communication very late in the evening, repair
ed in great haste at break of day to the church
where were to be offered up prayers for the repose
of the soul Of the deceased. He caused the door,
to be opened by disclosing his rank, and perform.
ed the service. Becoming thus universal legatee
without deed Of trust, or any restriction whatever
the pope made use Of his right by Immediately Civ,
ing up to the heirs the whole property. BY thi,
act Of iberality and justice the holy father pre-
vented the lawsuit which would undoubtedly have
been undertaken to nulify the will of lunatic.
