The Emperor stands in his triumphal chariot, behind is the ark of the covenant, and the seven branched candlestick, borne in the triumphal procession, as the most precious spoils of the Jewish temple.
In the centre of ancient Rome stands the Colosseum.

Originally called the Flavian Amphi- theatre, because built by the Flavian em- perors, it held 100,000 persons, 87,000 seated and 13,000 standing. It was erected by the labor of 60,000 captive Jews, and at its dedication by Titus A. D. 80, history tells us, 6,000 wild beasts were slaughtered in the arena. During the persecution of the early Christians, St. Ignatius was brought from Antioch to be devoured here; Pope Benedict XIV. consecrated the Col- osseum to the Christian martyrs, 1570. A custodian now admits you to the top, from which a magnificent view is to be

On a bright mild day in February we rode out of the St. Sebastian gate on to the great highway of Ancient Rome, the Appian Way; from which we enjoyed a grand prospect of the surrounding cam- pagna, with its ruined tombs and aqneducts and the Sabine and Alban hills in the dis- tance. Shortly before going out of the gate, on the main road, we walked through the Columbri or vanlts containing the cinerary urns of the members of Cesar’s household, so called because of the rows of niches. like doves nests, containing the urns in which were placed the ashes. Over one of the urns was pointed out to us a Latin inscription, ‘* Touch not, Oh mor- tals the shades of the tomb.”” No cinerary urns were found in any of the Christian tombs. proving that cremation was a pagan not a Christian custom.
The catacombs of St. Calixtus on the Aprian way, take their name like the many others that surround Rowe, from the Saint who was buried in them. Tradition says that the catacombs were formerly the hiding ad dwelling places of the early Christians, during the persecutions of the emperors, bus some antiquarians of the present day iold that these subterranean passages were as well known to the police of that age as in this. I: is,however,estiaated that over 200,- 00U Obrictians were buried here, including fourteen popes. The long narrow passages form complete labyrinths, the sides being honey-combed with graves. The walls are covered with inscriptions and freecoes. We followed each other along the different w ndings. in and out, each bearing a light- ed candle ; and, however great our interest was. I know that we wereall glad when we emerged into the open daylight,
Farther on along the Appian Way, among other ruins, we passed by the tomb of Seneca, and loitered by that of Cecilia Metelle, the latter, a favorite resting place for learned men, tourists and artists. It is Byron’s ‘* stern round tower of other days.” Still farther on, we came to the site of the ‘‘three taverns,” and had Appii Fvrum pointed out to us by Mr. Forbes, some miles away. Returning by the Via Nuovo, we had a full view of the aqueducts, the rnins of the Clandian, built A. D. ’36, ard that built by Sextus V., 1587, in use at the present time.
Some of the most wonderful of the ruins
public baths. Those of ave of
iP
ble, and georgeously-colored windows, with its portraits of all the Popes, and its bean- tiful chapels, are all worthy of an eloquent
en.
In the Quirinal palace, which during the absence of the King and Queen was open to the public, the State apartments ere very magnificent. The gilded furni- ture, beautiful portraits, priceless mosaics, and tapestry, are left freely exposed, and anyone seems to be eat liberty to tread upon the velvet carpets, and admire at his leisure. A gentlemanly official walks about and courteously answers any questions which may be put to him. The contrast is very great, to the carefully covered chairs, tables, sofas and rolled up carpets in the State apartments of our own Queen’s palace at Windsor. In the entrance hall and private chapel we saw some of the wonder- ful Coblentz tapestry. The ‘‘ Death of Julius Cesar,” and ** Christ driving the money-changers out of the Temple,” were especially beautiful. After seeing the royal stables with the splendid horses and car- riages, I thought that many of King Hum- bert’s subjects might be happy if as well provided for.
Among our last visits, were those to the Pincio, and the studios of some of the sculptors.
The first is the favorite promenade and drive of the Romans, and has many pretty nooks and fountains, with an Egyptian obelisk in the centre. From the Pincio a fine view of the city is to be had.
In the studio of Mr. Rogers, the Ameri- can sculptor, we saw his latest and most famous work, the “ Falling Star,” the figure of a beautiful woman looking up- ward. Mr. Rogers, who is a very large man, and looks like a hearty healthy farmer, received us in a working blouse and cap, chisel in hand. We afterwards visited the studios of several Italian scelptors, where everything we saw was, without exception, beautiful.
But he who would tell of all he sees in Rome, must needs write a beok.
I steamed away from its old brown ruins very regretfully, hoping with a great desire that some day I might go back and wander about among them again.
Serious disturbances may soon be ex- pected in Burmab. The King’s recent ill- ness was delirium tremens, and it was felt that his life was hardly worth a day’s pur- chase Should he die, there is certain to he a struggle forthe throne; and even if he lives, an explosion of madness may occur at any time. Constant intrigues are reported. There are few English residents at Mandalay, but a considerable number of foreigners, chiefly Italians and French. Every man carries his life in his hand,
South Africa is again in trouble. A des- patch received in Liverpool on the 9th says that the natives burned the town of Fouri- carial on the west coast of Africa, and plundered the British and French factories. Several owners and clerks are missing and it is feared were killed. Another dispatch from Cape Town, reports the sitnation in Basvtoland is grave. All the chiefs are reported in favor of joining the rebel Mezpa.
