fslQue, with magnificent crimson dra-
perles. Thousands Of candles are kept
burning, and the body is dressed iu the
my, decorated with the Orders which
the King had worn during lite, and oov-
cred with au ermIne mantle.
The features Of the dead King are quite
placid, and the deathiy pallor OF the
skin is in marked contrast With the dark
beard and long mostaohe. A constant
stream Of spectators keeps tillug in and
out OF The hall, aud the greatest emotion
is visible on every lace.
The Municipality of Rome has de-
creed, subject to the approval OF the
Royal family, that The first King OF
United Italy shall receive sepulch her
III Rome. The Royal family, in defer
ence to the wishes OF the peuple ana Tor
political significance Of burial in the
Capital, have consented to this, notwitn-
standing their natural prediction for
tue Traditional mausoIeum OF Tie Hvuse
OF Savoy at Saperga. The Vatican is
willing to grant any church in Rune for

ments are on a most elaborate scale, and
the funeral will be an imposing national
demonstration.
