All w,re struck with the b-nignity of the Pope and with the utter ab.-ence of stiffness or formality in the few kindly expression* which ho addressed to the different members of tho mission. Cardinal Antouelli appeared weighed down with care at first, buh he soon warmed into kimlliness and oven bonhomie, telling Mr Badger, who was introduced as the "Oiientalista," that he must instruct the otHr members of Ihe mission in the mysteries of Arabic. Xhe prior of the Freni-h missions on the East Coast of Africa was present at the audience with the Pope, and In expressed his warmest thanks ior the interest which Dr. Kirk, of Zanzibar, had shown in their missions.
