HIS HOLDING THE POPE.
Tlie Pope is now 74 (says the London < Globe,') a tall, thin ivory-com-piexioned man, wilh a benignant expression and smiling lips, bearing the stomp of indelible firmness— the expression of a man to bend but never to break. Someone has «aid he has the mask of Voltaire, but this is nonsense] Thero is none of the saturnine cadui city, che spectral smile. Leo XIII. tally h<f wears his years ""well ;' walks jy>righ,ty;and th^is makes most, of his inches. His hair is^ snow-white, and naturally forms"into" a" crown about his finely-developed brow. His long face is serene, his small eyes dancing with intelligence ; add to this a harmonious sonorous rpice, and. a wide knowledge of Wfaicli he speaks with" the" 1 correctness of a professor.
