LETTER FROM MIR. BROOKS.--No. Xxx,
THINGS IN ROME.
ROME, October, 1885.

Unlenanted as Rome now is by stran-
gers, for the cholera and guarantees
have blocked up almost all the aven-
ues that foreigners take to enter it,
and alarmed as the whole population
are by the reports Of the cholera in
Venice and Florence, it seems to be as
sad and as mournful u place az ever
man was permitted to dwell in. Half
of it is indeed one great tomb; and the
man whose eyes have been accustom-
ed 10 witness the energy and activity
ofthe English race in the two worlds,
can hardly see life even in what is re-
ally moving and breathing. 1t requires
all the exaggerations my fancy can
create, to realize the idea that this ci-
ty was once as large as London, and
with ediices immensely richer, and
that the now uninhabited ano sickly
Campagna was once thickly filled with
villas and palaces as much more sump-
tuous than those that surround the city
of the Thames, as is the bright, lumi-
nous sky of Rome to the dark, dim,
and cloudy atmosphere Of London
But there is no doubt of the fact, tho
Rome at present is not SO populous as
Philadelphia by twenty or thirty thou
sand inhabitants, where more business
is now done in a single hour, at least
in single day, than is done in Rome
for a year. Tacitus says that in the
reign of Claudius, the population Of
Rome was 5,984,072 souls, and Fuse
bus swels the amount to 100000 !;
but as it is difficult to define what was
meant by Rome, whether all Roman
citizons were included, no matter
where they lived, or the whole of tia
ly, which probably was the fact by
Eusebius' computation, commentators
have come to the conclusion that the
least amount Of Roman population in
the days OF its prosperity must have
been one million, but probably as high
as two, or even three, taking in all

Loneliness and solitudes, pure and more

gushes forth, not even gilded by a
cheerful sun ray, and which pours
forth the world of waters that have

The fountain is forgotten, while 9TH
ers ride upon the rivers it has made.
An Editor is forgotten. Other men
sail into fame upon the principles which
but for him and the dumb genius Of
knowledge tn at he controls, would
have been but as stagnant ponds, pu-
trlfying vegetation around, and fester-
ing the air with poison. No, no -
An Editor of honest and independ.
ent press is a, good at least as the re-
preventative of forty thousand. He is
not narrowed down TO the circuit of
those forty thousand men, women and
children. His mind goes beyond the
barrier that marks them from an ada
cent district. II goes on the winds of
every quarter of the compass, and en-.
tiers into the mysteries OF thousand
worlds. He gazes from the mountains
to watch the Heavens, and he turns to
the low struggling political world to
gaze on hell His mind travels to
cry region and returns to the sanctua-

those countries TO enighten and amuse.
The organ of principle, he is made by
implication the organ ofmen-the boil

quack who is undermining the regular

of its property he preserves man but
that he may use him for the great con
test Of principles. Fools do not know
this but wise men do.
1t is the worst thing in the world for
a public man to affect disregard for
the press of his country. When he
knows its Editors, he should lean upon
it as the shield that will protect him
now, and like Socrates who protected
Alci6iades when he was beaten down
in battle, it will hold up the mgis ofits
wise defence over his memory when
he is no more, or when he has fallen
like a star from the Heavens where
he had blazed in glory. The Press is
not subject to be sneered at. Tho
high minded and independent Editor
would never turn the mighty powers
that he yields upon one vino would
cast disrespect upon his profession,
still there are others who, having the
power, would use it to the destruction
of the presumptuous scoifer.

Kings heads, and stript them of their
regal mantles in the presence of brlst-

leaden wand revolutionized the world,
and who will be to US all the destroyer
