The Flag OF the vstic.~s

The Papal flag is comparatively un-
familiar outside Of the Eternal City.
The war flag Of the defunct temporal
power of the Pope was white, and IN
its centre stood figures Of st. Peter
and st. Paul, with the cross keys and
tiara above them. The flag Of the mer-
chant: ships owned by the subjects OF
he States Of the Church is, a curious
combination, half yellow and half
white. with the design, OF the cross keys
on the white. In the banner used by
