priests, ard monastic orders OF
Rome, led by the Pope himself, went
round the waIls baref0otcd, ashes on
their heads, and singing hymns. As
they passed the waits, the seven car
dinal bishops sprinkled holy water
upon them; at each gate they stop
ped, and each time the Pope invoked
. blessing from heaven upon the new
city. The Procession over, the Pope
made large presents OF gold, silver
and silken pallIa TO the nobility, the
people, and the foreigners.
The new city was dedicated by
the Pop. to CHRIST, and recommend.

macy Romans aud Trasteverini also
were IN time induced to tax up their

Judge Williams did not become SUI
prcme Judge, till Nick Denton let it

turned to the Judge and inquired:
"IIow arc you, Dcacon?" Denton,
fcigning an unusual solcmnity for the

A farmer at Helmsville has a
pocketbook which was carried by his
great-grcat- gran | father as long ago
as 1850. 1t is a singular piece Of
work-made almost entirely Of silver
scales about the size of five cent
piece, the lining having been bright
leather Of sosnc kind. It il about
four inches and half in length and
two and half in width. It has no
compartments. Its clasps are fast.
cned with two minute hooks. Sec
ing notices Of old pocket books in
the papers, Mr.. Froudc brought the
pocket book to town to show the

Rome. the u.conlsac City.

The Lsonine City derives its name
from Leo ", who first fortified III.
environs Of the Vatican, which wer.
left entirely open and without the
city when Aurelian carried the walls
around Rome. Even when St Pc
ter's had been built, and around it
had grown up monasteries, hospitals,
and dwellings Of, - kinds, and the
foreign colony ha Isttled on the left
81 it, no Pope thought Of terrifying
or protecting this part by walls.
FOR, says Grcgorious, to whose His.
tory Of Rome" we owe these data
the enemies Of Rome had till then
been Christians. Leo III. first con.
ce,ved the plan had he carried it
out tho Saracens would not have
plundered the Basilica. The works
commenced BY HIM had been stop
ped BY internal connections, and the
Romans quietly possessed themselves
of the materials Of tho halt finished
buildings, and used them for other
purposes. After the piilagc, how
ever, Leo ". again took up the
plan most vigorously, and carried it
out with energy. He first submitted
it to the Emperor Lothair, without
whose permission he dared not under
take SO important . work. and not
only found HIM ready to permi. il,
but to contribute largely to sts exc.
cution. The costly undertaking was
next divided IN such a manner that
all tho individual cities OF tho states
OF tho Church, all public estates OF
the Chul Oh, the city. tho monasteries
and converts. had to place certain
sum and certain number OF their
people AZ the disposal Of the building
committee.
The work was begun IN SlS, and
completed in $50. The Vatican en-
virons Tor the Porticus ofSt. Peter)
are surrounded in such . manner
that the wallis rose from the Hsndri-
aneum up to the side Of the Vatican
mountain, then encircled St. Peters
aud naxt, descending straight from
this height, were carried as far as
the river, below the present gate
Santo Spirito, which was added af
terward. The walls reached . height
ot nearly forty feet, OF correspond.
lug thickness, and were guarded by
forty tour strong towers.
A good deal Of this horseshoe ike
walling Of Leo ". is still discerni.

The Old Year.


Tie old year went so quiet and still

So little Of good has been done,
