Pro NINo.-Dr. Coke, of Montgomery,
attended festival at St. Paul's Church, near
Rome, and thus described the appearance Of
the Pope and his equipage:
Pope Plus TX is man of good stature,
full round person, with kind, benevolent
expression of face, which bears few marks
of care or abstinence, and is young-looking
for fifty-eight. He left the church like a
military conqueror, amid the sound of mar
tial music, escorted by regiment OF SOL
diers, cavalry and infantry. His carriage
was splendid affair, painted with gold and
crimson bronze, the iron work and hubs gilt,
and trimmed inside with cherry-colored silk
damask, hangings of rich lace, embloId-
cred with gold. Hitched to itwere six black
stations. The harness was orhamented
with heavy gilt mountings. Upon one OF
the leaders was mounted postillion' on the
box were coachman and servant, and be-
hind were three footmen, all in llyeries
which would eclipse the uniform of Major
General. Then followed long line OF sim
liar eou,pages, IN which were his great Car
dinals, in their rich crimson robes. 1t was
the most magifcent cortege | have witness
ed in Europe, and have seen several OF the
rowned heads and their retinues."

FAST EATING.


A writer in a late number of the Phreno'
logical Journal, upon the application OF cpl
curean philosophy, concludes as follows;
Sometimes, when see men bolting down
their fooI in such hot haste, feel like ex-
claiming, What pity, that man, VINO ousn,
70 he the wisest of Gods creatures, should
thus violate every dictate of wisdom and or
ganic law, and poison his system by suffer-
inp. until he becomes poor, broken-heart-
ed dyspeptic. hon,

to eat IN the future or If you are too idiotic

that no man does or can suffer, until or un-
less he has sinned.
"But," it objected, 81 have tried my
utmost to refrain from fast eating, and hnd
myself unable to do so." Then try the rule
involved in this article. You mistake, by
supposing that you are to restrain this gor-
mandizing propensity by force OF will
You take the wrong means. This so ae-
sirable an end is to be attained, first by dis
missing all thoughts of business from your
nina, when you sit down to table, sitting

You do not feed your horses when IN

self when over-eXcited either by business
or mu. cular labor2 Cool off first if it takes
you an hour; then begin by taking small
mouthfuls, the size only of bean or chest
nut, and smacking your lips over the flavor,
and tasting how good it Is, and stopping 70
enjoy each mouthful; and this rich taste OF
your food will, of itself, draw off your lnlud
from your business haste; whereas, If you
sit down in your hurried state OF mind and
do not direct your attention to flavor. no
earthly power can prevent your eating too
fast.
This rule inadvertently, but efectually,
contains another, to prevent over eating,
namely Stop eating as soon as your 1000

is, as soon as you have to coax an appetite,
by putting on rich gravies, condiments, &c;

dietic habit of eating pastries, pies, nch
puddings, SC. Lastly, always begln, your
meals on the daintiest article; partly be-
cause, after appetite has been once sated'

TAKE CARE OF YOUR FEET.-Of all parts
of The body, says DR.. Robertson; there is
not one which ought to be SO carefully at
tended to as the feet. Every person knows
from experience that colds and many other
diseases which proceed from the wheel OF
the system, that the circulation of the blood
may be very easily checked there.
Yet for all this, although every person OF
common sense should be aware of the truth
of what we have stated, there is no part of
the human body so much trihed with as the
feet. The young and would be genteel foot
ed, cramp their feet into thin solld,pnchlng
boots and shoes, in order to display neat
feet in the fashionable sense of the term
There is one great evil against which eve
ry person should be on their guard, and 1t Is
one which is not often guarded against-we
mean the change of warm for cold boots or
shoes. A change is often made from thick
to thin shoes, without rejecting on the con-
sequences that might ensue. In cold wealth
er, boots and shoes made of good thick
leather, both in soles and upper, should be
worn by all. Water tights are not good it
they are air tights also; India rubber over
shoes should never be worn except in wet,
splashy weather, and then not very long at
once. 1t is hurtful to the feet to wear any
covering that is air tight over them, and for
this reason India rubber should be worn as
seldom as possible. No part of the body
should be allowed to have covering that
entirely obstructs the passage of the carbon
ic gas from the pores Of the skin outwards
and the moderate passage of air inwards to
the skin. Life can be destroyed in very
short time, by entirely closing up the pores
of the skin Goob warm stockings and
thick soled boots and shoes are conservative
of health, and consequently of human hap
piness. Scientific Amer.

THE WAY one CUBAN COT RELEASED.

The New Orleans Delta tells good sto.
ry of how Major Kelly,a member of the ill.
fated Cuban Expedition under Lopez, made
his escape from death, or the chain gangs,
in Spain. Upon being brought to Havana,
his head was shaved, and he was stuffed il-
to prison suit much too small for him-he
being very large man, and the largest suit
at hand being great deal too scanty Tor
his massive frame. Upon being put through
this ceremony, it struck the Major that lie
would try the effect upon the Cuban au-
thorities of the assumption of some person
al consequence. So he sat down and wrote
very familiar letter to Mr. Webster, as
fair version of which, the Delta offers the
following:

The Major also wrote familiar letter to
Henry Clay, alluding to the many pleasant
days they had spent together i'll Washington,
when he represented the Tenth District OF
Tennessee in Congress, and also the happy
days he had PISSED at Ashland. These let
tiers were delivered to the messenger un-
sealed, and were, Of course, read by the
high officials. The Major was soon after
sent for, and after some Conversations the
course ofwhich the Captain-General Is said
to have remarked upon his ludicrous ap-
pearance, the Major was informed that he
was released. The Major soon dotted his
tight fit, for which he said to the Captain
General he had been indebted to some un-
known friend, and put on one more be-
coming, and in due time safely arrived at
home Rich. Dispatch.
