the petition walls Of the Oaldarium,
or hot air baths. More than 1900
persons could be accommodated with
baths at the same time in the numerous
apartments Of the immense structure.
We next rode out on the Via Appia
to the Cataoombs of st. Callistus,
where, after some delay, we found a
guide, who lighted wax taper for
each one of the visitors and another
for himself. We descended a flight
OF old steps to a wooden door, which
the guide unlocks, and we enter the
dismal cave. Then We pass through
circuitous and narrow underground
passages cut in the tufa, or hardened
earth. The whole length of the ave-
nues in the Catacombs of Rome is
said TO exceed 500 miles, and the
area of these ancient sepulchres is more
than 600 acres. Here were buried many
great lights of the early church, i'm
Guiding Christian martyrs who sought
refuge under ground when prosecuted
by the Pagans. On either side of the
passage ways are cells of various sizes
for the graves Of the dead, which were
frequently occupied as refuge places
by the living. Here and there were
wide spaces used as chapels for divine
service. Most of the tablets or in-
scriptions have been removed to the
Roman museums. Many of the skel-
etons or bones are deposited in the
Roman churches in various parts Of
the world, where they are regarded as
relics of the saints. The air is not
sitting nor damp, which we considN
cred quite surprising, as there are no
means of ventilation whatever. Once
every year the catacombs are illumi
mated on the occasion of high church
festival. There are eight other cata-
combs in the vicinity of Rome, but
that of st. Callistus is by far the larg.
est and the most readily accessible.

auspices Of the Jockey Club, to con-

A PREMATURE BOOM
Forming I'm PENNSYLVANIA for
ArIhur's Reelection.

WASHINGTON, July l6.-It will be
remembered that it was to General
Harry White, President of the Penn
sylvania Republican State Convention
in 1875, that President Grant ad-
dressed his celebrated letter on a
Third Term" which was drawn out
by the resolution of the convention to
the effect that under the sanction of
the most venerable examples the
Presidential service was limited to
two terms. GeneralWhite was Chair
man on the Committee on Resolutions
at the recent Republican State Con-
vention held at Harrisburg and re-
ported the resolution indorsing the
administration of President Arthur.
In convention to-day he said that it
was surprising to what extent Presi-
dent Arthur was growing in popular
estimation in Pennsylvania, and
that he particularly noticed
the cordial approval the commenda-
tory resolution received from all the
delegates to the convention. Since
the adjournment of the convention he
had met many prominent Republicans
in his travels through the State, and
the sentiment was the same every
where he went that Mr.. Arthur was
growing in popularity, and that his
administration commended itself to
tie warmest approval OF his fellow
citizens.
MIR. White said that with contin-
uance Of the popularity il would be
easy to predict who would be the
nominee of the National Republican
Convention. 1t is already said of Mr..
Arthur what was never said of his
predecessors who were Vice Presi
dents, that the wisdom of his admin
istration promises to disarm political
opposition, increase the confidence OF
his friends and multiply advocates for
his continuance in the presidential
chair-a fact which General White
cites as certain evidence OF the success
of the Republican party in Pennsyl.
