A mysteriou. AmsrIcan Monk.

The Roman correspondent of Lon
don paper gives an account of myste-
rious American millionaire, who, it
seems, joined, on New Years day,
brotherhood Of monks in the neighbor-
hood of the Eternal City.
Anybody taking the cowl is sight;
but this was an American, and a very
rich one. The first idea suggested was
that this WAS Catholic Peabody, and
that Rome was to show the world how
much better she ceuld do sanity munif-
cence.
Had the ceremony been celebrated in
Rome at all, probably most of the gem
tIemen and all the ladies would have gone
to see it. But the mention of the place
struck q damp into the most generous
aud most inquisitive natures. II wac to be
at St. Paurs-"St Paurs Without the
Wall '-as the site is inadequately
described.
The stoutest ascetcs recoiled from the
thought of pilgrimage of three miles,
on cold, raw morning, to pestileRtial
place, which it was by no means certain
was not under water at the moment, or
we'll soaked at least.
Nobody coald say what was the name
of the novice, or how old. Whatever it
may be is now matter Of history, but the
once bearer of it has assn med the name
of Jscobus.
He has now the name of bis choice,
and he acquired it by going through
series of picturesque ceremonies on Sat-
urdsy, and surrendering all his fortune
to the Benedictine monastery to which
S.. Paurs in a manner belongs. The
first scene in the drama presented the
American in the dress of the period,
standing in a group OF worldlings and
looking as if he had come to see, and not
to be seen. From this outer circle he

mo,,ed, before the altar, where several
scor,,s of Bsnedictine brothers stood in
q row.
He then declared his wishes, and had
grac.i .ious reply. Thereupon he laid
himself fiat on that horrid cold, shiny
foor, an was covered with black pail.
While he was thus buried-forgotten,
clear out ,'f mind, mass was celebrated,
mass for the dead.
Presently, however, the bishop--that
il. the mitre abbot of the order--lifted
the pail, rails ed the dead maa to life, and
presented him to the brethren.
They all interchanged kisses with him
and placed hi N in their own raHk. The
new brother writes something on long
slip of parchment which is forthwith
taken from the altar, carried round, and
held up before the eyes of all the breth-
rem, the officiating clergy, and the con-
gregation generally.

The Paris Steele, under the heading OF
"What is Promised in 1870" publishes
the adjoined observations: "The present
year will have to reform not only the
law on the press, but also that on cleo
tions. At the moment when official can
didatures are said to have passed away,
a Minister presents himself to the cleo
tors of the Loire-at Gsroune, in q cir

didate was in the habit of triumphing.
Should we not get rid at ence of all arbi-
trary circumscription and transmissions
If Legislative seats Should we not also
mike the number of Deputies commen-
surass with that of the electors2 The
year 1870, if it only practises the consti-
tuition with little sincerity, ought to
give to Paris the fourteen or fifteen De-
puties TO which the capital has right,
and also to elect its own municipal coun.
cilors. The administrators of the COM
mune of Paris should not be nominated
by the Deputies of the departmental cir
cumscriptions. The year 1870, according
to the programmes of the elected of 1870,
ought also to deliver US from article rs,
and restore to functionaries, as to all
other citizens, that personal responsible
iiy which is the only pledge of sound
administration. We take notice also of
the savings promised us in the budget.
But what we require is not merely few
triAing economies, but severe revision
Of eur financial laws and more prudent
distribution of national resources, allot-
ting more millious in useful undertakings
and fewer of those of q fruitless charac-
ter. The same year, also, we are told. is
to promulgst for us a sound municipal
law, giving to the commune all facilities
for doing good, Transporting the real au-
thority into the municipal council itself,
and assigning to the mayor, its delegate,
his true role--that of the executive
power. Moreover, 1870 is to furnish rs
with real legislation on gratuitous and
obligatory instruction, and that, perhaps,
il the most essential point Of all"

that she would not have a copy Of his
