' After waiting more than two hours,
the doors at the farther end of the gal
lery were opened, and brilliant group
appeared in the opening. The dittSnco
was 30 great that we could not distinctly
see its several parts, only general ef-
feet of bright colors. in which spseDdid
uniforms predominated- This group at
first appeared to be stationary: then,
after time, We became conscious it was
moving, but SO slowly and with such fire.
quent pauses as to be almost i'm percept-
ible. BY degrees it came nearer, and we
saw two chamberlains walking backward;
then came some of the Guardis Mobile,
the Pope's body-gusrd, each member of
which Is . mol leman, and wears tail,
crested helmet, like an old Roman.
Then came n number Of stately digni-
taries in violet rcbes, Cardinals and Mon
signors and at last we caught glimpse
In the center Of q small figure entirely
In white-his Holiness himself--;hen
more violet robes, and lastly, more
guards, closing the procession. 1t was
impossible to see that slo WY advancing
figure, with its imposing surroundings,
without being most powerfully i'm
pressed. He is the representative Of q
power--a spiritual hirerachy a.
Macaulsy says, "can certainly boast Of
. far longer succession than any dignity
in the world; linking together the two
great ages of civilization. Our modern
feudal Kings are mere upstarts compared
with the successors in regular order Of
Sylvester and Leo the Great"
A monsignor who walked by the side
OF the Pope asked the name, nationality
and religion OF each person, for the in
formation Of his Holiness, Who then said
. few words. He speaks only italian
and French. He had short converse
tion in the latter language with the
priests next US, which of course We
could distinctly hear. They spoke OF
their intended mission, and he replied
that the merit of such actions lay In the
intention, no less than in their successful
performance.
The Pope is small and frail in figure,
with the whitest and most -bleached
looking complexion il is possible to con-
ceive. One could scarcely imagine him
able to go through the prolonged fatigue
entailed by even such q ceremony as
that in which we saw him. His manner
is most gracious and pleasing, and his
expression OF countenance benevolent.
He was dressed in . white cloth robe
with small cape, white skull cap, and
white shoes embroidered with cross
. white silk sash, with gold-fringed ends,
round his waist. A large cross Of mag
nificant emeralds was the only spot az
color in his attire. The pcntifcial ring,
which it is the etiquette to kiss, was es-
pecially splendid, and appeared to have
the head Of st. Peter engraved upon il.
A dignitary carried his scarlet cloak,
and another the large hat OF the same
color. tied up and edged with gold cord.
He remained few moments III colloquy
with our party, which happened to be
the last in the assembly. Thea turning
round to face the gathering, he blessed
it collectively with outstretched arms,
in the name Of the Trinity.
