more tn an one Sumner aud Winter OF experience
seems 70 be needed for Rome. How iretted last
Winter. during the three months ram and the
serplcb,,l chill and far worse than sepuchral
oso,s which accompanied it | thought 1t was the
invarisble Roman Winter, and that should never
be able % stay here another such, so took my
only by the month, thinking TO hy SO soon as the
rain set in. And 10 ishas mover rained at all bat
there has been glorious Sun and Moon, unstaned
by cloud, always and these last days have been as
warm rs Msy-the days Of the Carnival fer have
ust come in from seeing the Moccoleth.
The Republican Carnival has not been as SPLEEN
did the Papal; the absence Of Dukes and Princes
being felt in the way OF coaches and rich dresses
there are also fewer foreigners than usual many
having feared to assist at this most peaceful Of
revolutions But if less splendid, it was not less
gay; the costumes were many and isncful-now-
ers, smiles ssd fun abundant.
This is the first time OF my seeing the true Moe
coletti last year in one Of the first triumphs Of
Democracy, they did not blow out the lights, thus
turning it into an illumination. The effect Of the
swarms Of lights. little and large, thus in motion
all over the fronts OF tho houses and up and down
the Corso was exceedingly pretty and iary-lise
but that did not make up for the loss Of that WILD
innocent gayety OF which this people alone is ca
pabe after childhood, and which never shines out
so much as on this occasion. 1t is astonishing the
variety Of tones, the lively satire and taunt Of
which the words .Sen=d W0ccoio-Sen.d mo, are
susceptible from their tongues. IL Is the best par
ody on the life of the respectable world that can
be imagined. A ragsmuifn with little piece Of
candle, not even lighted thrusts 1t In your face
with an air of far greater superiority than he can
wear who dressed IN gold and velvet, erect IN his
carriage holds aloft his light on a tall pole. 10
vain his security while be looks down on the
crowd 10 iaunt the wretches senzG mo, weak fe-
male hand from chamber window bots out his
pretensons by one llrt of an old handkerchief.
Many handsome women, otherwise dressed in
white, wore tho red liberty cap, and the noble
though somewhat coarse Roman outline beneath
this brilliant red, by the changeful glow of million
6ghts. made fine effect. Men looked too vulgar in
tho liberty cap

This, like the Carnival was last year entirely
spoiled by constant rain. never saw 1t at all

of January All the quarter OF st. Eustachio is
turned into one toy shop, the stalls are set out IN
the street aud brightly lighted up These are iull OF
chenp toys-prices varying from half cent up to
twenty cents the dolls, which are dressed as
husband and wife, or sometimes grouped in iami-
lies are the most grotesque rag babies that canbe
imagined Among the toys are great quantities
Of Whistles tin trumpets and little tamborines ;
| of these every man, woman and child has bought
one and is using it to make noise. This extern

till midnight; the delight OF the numerous chill
dren that form part of tho orchestra, the good-hu-
mored familiarity without the least touch oil rude
