he always says aloud, followed by a "De
Profundis." Then the private audiences
begin again and last until supper time.
The Pope takes his third meal about 9
o'clock, Immediately before retiring for
the night. This repast is even more sim
pie than the preceding ones, for it is only
composed Of some broth with two plainly
boiled potatoes, seasoned with little salt,
followed by some fruit. I do not know if
many princes, or even If many private in
dividuals, would be we'll contented with
such bill of fare. The Holy Father re-
tires at 10 o'clock without the assistance of
any valet de chambre, and oflen at this
time the servant of the week, who sleeps
in an adjoining room, overhears the ven
cradle Pontif chanting in low voice to
himself the canticles of the Church. 1t is
well known that Plus TX has a beautiful
voice, powerful, sonorous and flexible.
The Pope's bed is the bed of a collegian,
being of iron, without any curtains, with
the smallest piece of carpet by the bedside
1t is in this very humble retreat that Plus
IX. enjoys the repose which he has so la
boriously earned. His Holiness sleeps
with the quiet, peaceful repose of an infant.
The health that he enjoys is really extra
ordinary for his age. Once a week, his
physician and his surgeon pay him visit,
to fulfil the duties of their position. The
Pope, with smile, suffers them to feel his
pulse, and when they have quite decided
that he is without fever, Plus TX. dismsses
the doctors with good-humored affability
and with some of these kindly pleasantries
for which he is so remarkable.-Corres-
pOndence Of the Francois.
