The Rome correspondent OF the New
York World, under date OF the l4th
instant gives an account OF the first
attack Of illness Of the Pope Plus TX
The writer ssys:
On the 5th OF April, which was Sat-
urday, the Pope walked in the garden
OF the Vatican. The weather was
charming, and he seemed greatly to
enjoy it He walked more than usual
and at length, feeling fatigued, aud
being quite warm, be sat down upon q
beech. One OF his attendants, a young
member oil the Noble Guard, begged
the Pope not 10 sit in the open slr; it
was growing cold, and His Holiness
might easily become chilled. "Be quiet,
child" said the Pope, gsyly II sm
older than you, and should know bet
ter what is good tor me Let me rest,
and enjoy the sweet air"
10 few minutes, however, be began
to feel chilly; he arose. saying to the
young soldier, "See, NV child, how we
are punished for disregardng good sd-
vice. ! have already taken cold" 10
few hours afterwards the Pope began
to suffer; he was attacked By severe
pains in the loins and small ofthe back.
This continued, and developed into an
attack OF rheumatic fever, accompanied
with complications OF which | shall
presently speak. He suffered severely
during the 9Th, 7th, Sih aud 9Th, but
on the morning OF the 10th (Thursdsy)
he experienced sudden and great relief.
The pain had all left him, he sat up,
aod be then became anxious to again
breathe some fresh air His bedroom
is email and plain chsmber-plsin,
that 10. for the VatIcan-fsr in the in-
terror OF that vast maze Of palaces; and
it is no wonder that the o!d man desired
TO once more come out where he could
see the sky and breathe the tresh air
He was not able to walk; but ss be in-
sistid upon gong into the garden, if his
physicisn permitted, and as the physi-
clan himself thought it would do his
Iatirnt good, q litter was brought and
the Pope was placed in it. He ssid to
those around him: BE trsr quill; | am
better; by God's help | think | have
got over it," But the litter had been
carried only few yards when severe
spssm OF pain again seized him the
smile fled from his face, and be ex-
claimed "Ah, I suffer" HIS physi-
clan was at his side and he ordered the
litter to be stopped. The Pope contin
ued to utter exclsmations OF agony.
Presently in a feeble voice be said, Il
resigo my wish take me back to bed"
After he WAS again placed in bed he re
msined for two hours without uttering
a word, but evidently suffering great
pain
His physician, examining his legs,
found them greatly swollen rom the
knees downward, snd Immediately
q tervsrds acute inflammation o. these
limbs appeared. The first effect from
the inflammation was to almost dry up
the accustomed discharge from the rs-
sues on the legs, and this was looked
upon as very grave symptom. The
Pope slept but little from tnat time un-
I'll Sunday night, when ne fell iuto deep
alumber. When be s.oke rom this
sleep he wa1 apparently better, and it
is In this state that he now If.
