The Uninviting Vatican.
,ome Letter in Cincinnati ENQUIRER.

Rome Letter in Cincinnati Enquirer.
The most disappointing thing, per-
haps to visitors is the Vatican Pelace:
Without design, fermentation or finish;
it would, if detached from St. Peters,
be teken for q factory building, of three
stories in height in parts and four in
others, with neither tall chimney nor
shutter to a window to relieve the flat,
yellow, lime-coyered walls. Theexten-
sions made to it froiii time to time
changed running course of the strtc-
ture, SO that it is zig-zagin line and has
every appearance of a collection of bad
ly constructed, rambling buildings,
that would be decidedly improved by a
coat of paint. The gardens adjoining
are very beautiful, a portion being laid
out in q park and the remainder in nat
ural forest. 1t is here, when in health,
that the pope drives every day. Prior
to the hour appointed for this recrea-
t'on,, fight-seers are made to come
down from the overlooking dome of
St. Peters. The buildings and gar
dens are inclosed with O. high wall,
within which, only are allowed the pope
and his attendants and the servants,
whos' cottages clustered together re-
semble a small village. The latter
comprise in their number artisans,
mechanics, laborers and farmers, with
workshops and acres of ground, on
which are raised the needed vegetable
supply, making the vatican entirely
independent OF outside Sources for its
food. It is city within q city.

John PhNnix'S Famous Fipht.

"A rumOr had reached our ears that
the editor had arrived. Public anxiety
had been excited to the highest pitch to
witness the result of the meeting be-
tween us. 1t had stated publicly that
he would whip us the moment he ar
rived; but, though we thought a con-
tlict probable, we had never been very
sanguine as to its terminating in this
manner. CoolIy we gazed from the
window of the office upon the New
Town road. We observed a cloud of
dust in the distance; high above it
waved whip-lash, and we said the
editor cometh, and his driving is like
that of Jehu, the son of Nimshi, for,
he driveth furlously. Calmly we seat
ed ourselves in the armchair and con-
tinued our labor upon our magnificent
Pictorial. Anon step, a heavy step,
was heard upon the stairs, and the
editor stood before us. We rose, and
with an unfaltering voice, said: 'Well,
how do you doP' He made no reply,
but commenced taking off his coat.
We removed ours, also our cravat.
The sixth and last round is described
by the pressmen and compositors as
having been fearfully scientific. We
held the editor down over the press
by our nose (Which we had inserted
between his teeth for that purpose),
and while our hair was EMPLOYED in
holding one of his hands, we held the
other in our left, and with the sleeps
foot brandished above our head, shout
ed to him: ''Say, Waldo" (the Wing
candidate. "Never!' he gasped. At
this moment we discovered that we
had been laboriug under a misunder-
standing. We write this while sitting
without any clothing, except our left
stocking. and the rim of our hat en-
circling our neck like ruff of tho
Elizabethan era, that article of dress
having been knocked over our head at
an early stage OF the proceedings, and
the crown subsequently torn off; while

water in the next room, small boY

Prince Bismarck's private affairs
have just been investigated, and it is
found that the revenue 1.-THE estate of
Varzin, in Pomerania presented to
Prince Bismarck by the nation in 1867
is nearly $4,000 year. The great
forest property OF Friedrichsruhe, in
Ml7auehbtrg, was presented to the Prince
IN 1871. The timber of the estate
brings in 2O,OOOa year, and thefa
about $4,000. The rental of Schon-
hansen is $5,OOO,a year, Prince Bis
marck has erected defensive paper mills
and manufacturers both at Varzin and
Friedrichsruhe, and these have proved
very successful, and bring him in near
~ $5O,OOOayea His annual income,
therefore, is upwards of 100000 a
year, exclusive of his salary as chan
cellor (l3, 500 and allowances) and his
pension of So, $50 as aformer minister
of Lauenburg. The Prince is a most
enterprising landlord, and has greatly
increased the value of his estates by
judicious improvements.

Story of Sir Edward Thornton.

Here is a good story anent Sir Ed
ward Thornton formerly British min
lister to Washington foc which the Pail
Mall Gazette vouches: At At Washing
ton reception a young gentleman said
to d rather imposing looking man,
Good EVENING" glad to see you; we
have not met since We parted in Mex
ico." The person thus spoken to cold
ly replied, ~ fear you have the advsn-
tage OF me-" "Why, surely!" exclaimed
the mortified young fellow; "you don't
seem to remember me- "To tell the
truth, have never been to Mexico"
care you not Sir Edward Tho1nton?"
"No, l am Judge Poland ofVermont."
A few nights after this rebuff the young
man happened to be at another party,
and, seeirig the judge, made up to him.
After a little desultory conversation
he ventured to say, ''That was an
awful blunder of mine the other eve
ming to take you for old Thornton. -
"And whom do you take me for now,
may ask? "Why, you told me you
were Judge fC11and of Vermont" The
reply was crushing>-"On the contrary,
sir, my name is Thornton"

The Queer Nasal.

they are sent from the married mems

they live till they are married. At
this stage the men are warriors, and
their sole occupations is cattle-liftinq
abroad and amusing themselves at
home. The young women attend to
the cattle, build the huts, and perform
other necessary household duties.
both sexes are on the strictest diet.
Absolutely nothing but meat and milk
pass their lips. Spirits, and beer, to-
bacco or vegetable food are alike es-
chewed. So peculiar, indeed, are they
in their notions that they will not even
eat the meat of any wild animal.
Moreover, the meat and milk are meyer
taken together. Tor several DAYS the
one is the sole diet, to be followed by
the other after partaking of a power
full purgative. On killing bullock
they drink the blood raw, which doubt
less supplies them with the necessary
salts. In eating meat they always re-
tire to the forest in small parties, &C.
companied by young woman. So
pleasant does the Nasal warrior find
this life that he seldom marries until
he has passed the prime Of life; and
begins to find his strength decline.
The great war spear and heavy buf1a-
lo-hide shield, the knobkerry, are
then laid aside. For month he
dons the dress of an unmarried woman.
and then becomes staid and respect
able member of Nasal society. He
goes no more to war, but devotes him
self to the rearing of brood of young
warriors. His diet changes with his
mode of life, and he may indulge in
vegetable food, drink betr or spirits;
and smoke or chew tobacco. At death
the body is simply thrown out to the
hyenas and vultures.
