- THE CHAIR OF ST PETER.-It1is9 com
mon fallacy to suppose this chair rests
within the bronze one at the western end
of St. Peters, 1t is kept in closet in
the wall Of the church, at a great height
from the ground, and secured by num-
Der .oflocks which caii only he opened in
the presence OF certain officials, with vari-
GUS formalities; hence the descent of the
chair gives much trouble, and partly ac-
counts for the reluctance of the Chapter
to produce it. Application was made, in
high quarters, for its exhibition this spring
and refused. There are historical reasons
why close examination Of the chair
would be most undesirable. The chair con
sists of two parts: a kind of inner frame
work of acacia, and an outer of oak, which
latter is likely enough to be portion of
the original chair Of Pudens. The worries
which ornament the chair are of very diff.
ercnt dates and execution. Some are
splendidly carved and belong to good
Roman period, while others are centuries
later, and very inferior The plates repre-
sent the labours of Hercules, and seem to
have been added in the eleventh century.
The actual present confguration of the
chair belongs to the .Carlovingian period.
1t has undergone many changes, of which,
strange to say, no records exist either at
st. Peters or the Vatican. 90 no

no monument Of marble or stone-only a

ten cents for each farm, fifteen cents for
each productive establishment Of industry,
two cents for each name of deceased per-
