Chorus Of the Bells.
The quiet evening was broken by q
chorus such as the world has seldom
heard. On the stroke of eight all of
Rome's 400 churches commenced to
toll bells for the passing of the soul of
Leo XIII. In from the seven hills and
from every quarter of the city which
contained churches came the constant
clang, until all was as one vast rever-
bration. The harsh jingle of the small
er chapel bells, striking quickly and
more often, was not drowned by the
solemn strokes that came in mournful
measure from the great dome of St.
Peters. It was as If q great fire
ragged and every bell in Rome were
vying with every other in anxiety to
warn the populace. Except in this
common motive and common sorrow
it was an amazing discord, which con-
tinued an hour and which will recur
nightly until the obsequies are over.
