Rome, April 16.-The Thanksgiving

sockets. His hand trembled and q sad
smile played over his coIorless lips Hol-
bein might have painted him then as the
personification of the vanity of human
splendor. With his left hand he waved
greetings, while the right did it's feeble
pest to mark the act OF blessing During
the mass he sat with folded hands. Twice
he rose and he was supported while he

His voice was scarcely audible; but, in
the absolute silence, his first words were
caught by the assembled multitude. He
tried to raise himself, but fell back aud
pronounced the remainder in recumbent
position. A loud cry. like the bursting of
a storm, broke from the congregation and
the Pope, stretching his hands in bensdic-
tion, was carried out.
