110 W I GOT INTO. THE BAP,
OVST. PETER'S.
BY FRA'Zil{ LnamE
Most persons are aware that the cathe
dral church of St. Peter's, in Rome, is the
grandest edifice for. Christian worship in
the world; thatit is presided - °vet. by the
Pope himself, who resides in a vast ph.-
adjqining the Vatican, within which are
• _collected treasures of art of centuries.
But al some of my young readers 'Mai
not ho familiar With St. Peter's, I w 4. ST -
late a few facts concerning it for thbir ii
foctnation.
Three hundred and fifty years were
cpentiin building this structure, extent:-
ing th rough the reigns of no less than
forty-three Popes: It covers an - area of
nearly six acres, and it cost fifty millions
of dollars. The annual amount expended
in keeping it in repair is•upward of forty
thousand dollars I •
It is six hundred and thirteen and a
hal€feet long inside the walls, four Min
dred and forty-six and a' half feet wide,
and four hundred and forty eight feet high
from the pavement to the top of the cross.
Beneath the pavement is the,crypt, so
that the actual height from the fonndation
to the top of the cross isfourhundred and
eighty' feet, making it by nearly fifty feet
the Itiftiest doir.e in the world. The diam
eter of the dome , is a hundred and ninety
five and a half feet, and the height of the
facade or vestibule,
from the top of which
the Pope gives his benediction on feast
days, is oneditindred and forty-eight and
a half feet long. • •
- Ravine , provided myself with the nee
essar,y order from the direcor or, janitor
of St. Peter's, I readily obtained adnibi-'
soon to the hall leading to the stairway.
The elaborate iron fretwork door locked
and barred and guarded by an official,
is only 'opened to visitors presenting
orders in due form, and then only from
eight to twelve o'clock . ; ; and no person
is allowed to remain .after one o'clock„ .
The first one hundred and eitghtyhfive
feet, leading . from 'the floor to the top of
the Vestibule, has ;a very easy ascent,
being a gently inclined plane, without
stens; about six feet wide, and floored
with brick. , From a door at the head of
the incline thevisitor emerges at the top
of the'vestibule, which, paved with flags,
ia'fotirhondred'and sixty-eight feet long
by fifty feet wide, forming a magnificent
promenade.' .11,p. to this point I could
hayeridden on horseback, the ascent being
to gradual,. began to congratillatemy
self on the trifling effort required to gain
such a magnificent view,. but soon found
that I had only got over the easiest part of i
Itu "task. Crossing over 'the roof of the
hatre, and entering- a small doer, I next
VOinimenced to climb the'drum which ens-

the circuit this I looked

orately finished, are discovered, to , be in
reality.executed in a coarse but vigorous
style intended to producitheproper effect
when viewed from a distance.
. Leaving the' aeoond or higher, gallery,
I commenced to climb the d9me; but this
was by no means'a pleasant undertaking, ,
it being concave on the inside of the
outer wall, and convex on 'the outside of
the inner wall; the higher I ascended; the
more lhad to incline to the right hand,
and on the upper part had to support my
self with my hands on the right hand"
wall, to prevent myself'from falling side
ways. Around and around, until dizzy,
by-and-bY I 'came to.' an 'opening In the
inner wall of the dome, protected by two,
horizontal iron bars. Looking down'from
thleheight, the peopleseemed almost like
ants, creeping from place to place. Still
isaceisding; the reclifung.position isecteine
more and more unpleasant, and I. was:not
- sorry whenl reached the :lantern, which
is a circular room, immediately overt the
center of the.dome, at a height 'of nearly
five hundred, feet, with nothing. but the
- floor between 'my feet and the pavement
below; a pith& uncomfortable reflection
- for a nervous man.
The lanteth is about eighteen feet in
diameter, with' a -plain wooden bench
running nearly around it, the most com--
' fortablo s6aVI thought I had sat down on
for many a day. - -
'Here I fourtd many travelers who, hai
lug been into-timbal', were enjoying the

'rises a perpendicular tube, leading to the
ball,' twenty,five `fee long,' and some
thing leas thim two feet in diameter; against`
one side of this is 'securely fastened an iron
ladder. •
When•lsaw the sinali hole I had to go

der, and rather a 'difficult task I found it..
fori ,after getting my full height up,l - I
found there was no room' to bend my
knees, so I . Wag literally forced to. pull
myself up, "hand over hand," hooking
'
on by my toes now and thep. It was a
sufficiently fatiguing operation, but I
finally reached the ; top, ,
' • Sylhis time it was nearly mid-day, and
what, with, the teat and the exertion, I
was dripping` with perspiration and half
suffocated.„
Before reaching thb upper end of the
tube, I heard strange sounds .above me,
and hesitated whether I should not liter
ally "back down." Suppose some one
was descending, wearing heavy boots?
Or might not some one be waiting up
there to give me a rap on the head, rifle
my pockets, and be off while
.I lay in
isensibleV- My fears, - however; vanished
when I got into the ball and found noth
ing more daugerous than a woman, whose
outline I could just make out in the
gloom. At - first I wondered how she ever
got up there, and then I wondered twice
as much as to how she was ever going to
get down again. I • rather suspect that
she, too, was wondering h6w that feat
was to be achieved.
She proved to' be a young American
lady, stopping at our, hotel. She, had ,a
slight figure, and as hoopSicirts are smaller,
at the top than the, bOttoni,. I could, pee
that she, might very easily squeeze herself
up this iron, well; hut - what ' kind of a
figure would she cut In descending,?' To
tell the truth, I was more occupied, while
recovering breath, with these speculations,
than with the interior of-the ball I had
worked so hard to get into. I, found it
to be a hollow globe, , braced in evezy di.
rection with iron, bars, land- capable of,
holding sixteen persons., The most sin
pier thing about it is the reverberation
of sound, which is something astonish
ing. The lowest tone is magnified intu a
shout. ' '
It is related that two rural priests were
in the ball some years ago when a heavy
thunder storm came on, and the effect on
their nerves was so great that one died
outright from 'fear, and the other was
found insensible, but finally recovered
sufficiently to relate his awful experience.
Having ascended the ball and "dbne
it," and found "nothing in it" except the
lady and her escort, my curiosity was
gratified, and I descended to the room at
the foot of the ladder—a comparatively
easy task, as I had only to lower myself
from bar to bar. Here I looked over the
names of many royal add notable persons
inscribed on the walls, and among others,
I noticed that of the Prince of Wales.who
went into the ball 10th Februarv,lBs9. -
One of the grandest sights in Home.is
the illumination of St. Peter's on Easter
Sunday and the festival of St. Peter,
when six thousand eight hundred lanterns
and iron pans, are lighted as if by magic.
This'is accoMplished by an army of men
while the clock is striking the hour of nine.
'When on the pilery I had an opportu
nity of seeing the manner in which the
dome is lighted, the most diffictilt part - of
the illumination, Many lives havirg been
lost in the operation. Around the roof of
the dome axe fixed, rows of iron . ,pans, at
regular intervals from top, W bottom, and
immediately between the rows of ,paus
are slight projections of iron, serving as
steps. The men,-. with; ropes securely
fastened around their waists at one end,
at attached at the other to the balcony,
have-each a- lighted torch in hand, and
commence to descend, at the first stroke
of nine, touching the wicks floating in
the'kans, and -saturated with turpentine,
so as to light on th'elnitant:- - ."On such oc

, The London correspondent of the New
York Timer writes as follows:
I am inclined to think that the real-sen
sation of the week_ has been the news
that the Marquis of Bute has turned
Papist. This yonng man, just come of
age, with, three hundred thousand pounds
a year:: and a peerage, has gone over to
Rome." The Timeelitt3 a leader a'column
long .to',,prove that it IS si,'mvtter of no
consequence. - The Mitiquis'of Bute is no
' more than any othWyoutteman and his
three hundred thousand sr year of more
account thief any other sintilardneome.
It is only one vote in the. Lords—, Thnt is
so;but for all that the fact is serious and
annoying., It, sets. every ' young peer,
every young rhan `to ao'kurg, - "What
merle him do ; t?" and, it, is evident'ithat
the Brno' would rather ,lie _had: :followed
theexample of the Margins of ! ),Itistings.
When'a thoughtful ,young nobiernart, of
