HIS HOLINESS THE POPE.
Although the reported dearth of His Holiness the Pope i& happily without foundation, it has been known for months that Pope Pius X. has. been a con finned invalid, and the new« of his demise at any time would not be surprising. Indeed, some European papers have gone so. far as to nominate 'his successor. Needless, to say, the choice fell upon Cardinal Raniipo'lla, who narrowly escaped election to the papal throne at the last conclave. The present Pope was peasant iborn, and against the modrenism. of his predecessor Hie has selected the religious, dogmatic and unworldly sphere. If Cardinal Raonpolla succeeds to the papacy, the aristocrat will succeed tlie peasant; and from almost a monaistio retirement the Church will, come out again into the open political world.
