The vatican. the ancient palace of the
popes OF Rome, is the most magnificent
building of the kind in the world. 1t
stands on the right bank of the Tiber,
on n hill called the Vaticanus, because
the Latins formerly worshipped Vati
cinium, an ancient ~oracular deity. at
that place. Exactly when the building
was commenced no one knows. Charlie
magne is known to have inhabited it
over a thousand years ago. The present
extent of the building is enormous, the
number of rooms, at the lowest com-
putation, being four thousand four
hundred and twenty-five. Its treasures
of marble statues. ancient gems,
paintings, books, manuscripts, etc, are
to be compared only with those in the
British museum. The length of the
Statue museum alone is a fraction over
a mile. Conservative writers say that
the gold contained in the medals, YES
sells, chains and other objects preserved
in the vatican would make more gold
coins than the whole of the present
circulation.-St Louis Re-

The Baron de Seilliere. a striking

has as one peculiar addition to his
wardrobe a sealskin coat, which he
will probably have occasion to wear
during the coming winter, although he
imagined that the trip to Canada
