Our host is a very intelligent man, much occupied with questions of political economy, of which science he is professor at the Collegio Romano. His wife, an American, is al

Helbig gave us an account of the Russian pilgrimage which came here lately. Many of the pilgrims were peasants.

We also drove through the Villa Pamfili Doria, which is very beautiful. January 6. To visit Countess Catucci at Villino Catucci. She was a Miss Mary Stearns, of Springfield, Massachusetts.

iend of Rossetti and Du Maurier, the idol of literary and artistic London. A warm friendship grew up between them.

nch, son of the late Archbishop, Rev. Chevenix Trench. He has been Tennyson's publisher.
