Mr. Bigelow, Of the New York Evening Post. writ.
Ing from Rome, says:

that, near as eau learn, the festival has under-
gone some changes which have reudsIe ed 1t not
only less interesting in ITSELF but what is to
be deplored less characteristic of the institutions
of civilization In which It had its origin. For.
meriy, confectionery and flowers used to be thrown
from one carriage TO another, but for the most
part in a complimentary spirit, aud deriving pi-
quaucy from the fact that the parties were un-
known TO each other, aud in this way were hold
ing an allowable Intercourse which on any other
day would be regarded as too familiar.
But the AnglosSsxou race do not seem to have
the facility OF enjoying this kind of sport legiti.
mately. They take the advantage of the priv,
legged character Of the day to annoy those they
meet, and make them ridiculous. They throw
