It illustrates a story told by Virgil af a priest named Laocoon, who displeased .he Gods, and, with his two sons, was killed by two enormous sea-serpents. The wretch- ed father nnd his two children in the coils of tho monstrous serpouts is a terrible transcript af suffering. But the Vatican is only the winter palace of the Pope. He has a summer residence, called the \Qutrinal from Quirinal Hill, ou hich it is situated. This Is more princely, ough not so large as the other. In this .lace we saw the throne room of the Pope, c saloon where hu received foreign embos- dor«, the dining room where he eati beet and potatoes like any other mortal, the pri- rcccption room, the study, and the bed- room with its old bachelor bed. The Popes are always elected in this pal- ace. The extensive gardens of the Quirinal were beautiful beyond anything I had ever They were filled with plants, trees, and flowers from every clime, ornamented with a profusion of fountains and statuary. The walks were lined with orunge trees, richly loaded with golden fruit.

During the fiscal year ending the 30th Juno, 1805, the last year of tbe war, the pttblte debt was increased $941,902,687, and on tbo 31st of October, 1885, it amounted te«2,740,- 354,750. On the 31st day of October, 1866, it had been reduced to $2,561,310,006, the diminution during a period of'li months, commencing September 1, 1865, and ending October 81,1866, having been $206,879,566. In the last annual report on the state of the finances, it was estimated that during tha three quarters of the fiscal year ending tha 30th of June last, the debt wonld be increas- ed $112,194,047. During that period, how- ever, it was reduced $S1,196,387, the receipt* of tho year having been $89,905,908 more, aud the expenditures $200,520,285 loss than thc estimates. Nothing could more clearly indicate than these statements, the extent and availability of the national resources and Ibe rapidity and safety with which, under >ur form of government, great military and lavel establishments can be- disbanded, and the expenses reduced from a war to a peacu footir - tving It U r purp!< cloth, trimmed with larrow bands of cruld black A.ilrncan^ thi mind cape shaded liko a coachman's and rimmed )o malub.

For the fiscal year ending June «0,1868; it is es- tminted that the the receipts will amount tu $489,000,000, and that thc expenditures'will be $350,247-,641— showing an excess oi $85,- 752,359 in favor of the Government. Theso estimated receipts may be diminished by a reduction of excise aud import duties; but after all necessary reductions shall hav« beeu made, tbe revenue'of the present and of fol- lowing years will doubtless be sufficient to cover all legitimate charges upon tho treasu- ry, and leave a large annual surplus to b« applied to the payment of the/principal of the debt. There seems now to be no good reason why taxes may not be reduced as the country advances in population and wealth, and yot the debt be extinguished within tho next quarter of a dsntury. Tho report of the Secretary of War fur- nishes valuable and important information In reference to the operations of his department during the past year. Few volunteers now remain in the service, and they are Iretng dis- charged aa rapidly a* Uiey can be, replaced by regular troops. The army baXheen promptly paid, carefully provided wilh ined- ical treatment, well sheltered and aubsistsd, and is to be furnished with breech-loading small amis. The- military strength of tho nation has beeu uuiinpnired by the discharge of volunteers, the disposition pt unservicea- ble or perishable stores, and the retrench- ment of expenditure. Sufficient w'ar mate- rial to meet any emergency has been retain- ed, »nd from the disbanded volunteers stand- ing ready to respond to tho national call, large armies could be rapidly organized,, equipped and concentrated. Fortifications on tho coast und frontier have received or are being prepared for more powerful arma- ments; lake surveys aud harbor and river Im- provements are in the course of energetic prosecution. Preparations hare bom made for the payment of the additional bounties authorized durjn* the recent tjessiou of Conj gress, under such, regulations as will protect the Qoveroincut from fraud, and secure to the honorably discharged soldier the wei- earned ruwurd of his faithfulness and gallant- ; ry.'
