AMERICANS Spelling THE CARNIvAL AT ROME.

AMERICANS Spelling THE CARNGvAL AT RoME.-
Mr.. Bigelow, of the New York Evening Post, writ
ing from Rome, says:
But of late, and this year in particular, Rome
has become so thronged with strangers from Eng
land and America and their equipages in the carni-
val occupied so large proportion of the Corso
that, as near as can learn the festival has under
gone some changes which have rendered it not only
less interesting in itself, but what is more to be
deplored less characteristic of the institutions of
civilization in which it had its origin. Formerly
confectionery and flowers used to be thrown from
one carriage to another, but for the most part in
complimentary spirit, and deriving piouancy from
the fact that The parties unknown to each
other, and in this way were holding an allowable
intercourse which on any other day would be re-
garded as too familiar.
But the Anglo-Saxon race do not seem to have
the facility of enjoying this kind of sport legiti
mately. They take the advantage of the privileged
character of the day to annoy those they meet and
make them ridiculous. They throw confetti with
violence; if they black hat in the street, or
anything that will be discolored by their artillery,
they will take the utmost pains to soil it as much
as possible. have even seen them go so far as to
bend forward and deliberately throw whole hand
ful of confetti violently into the face of ladies casu-
ally crossing the street, and taking no part what
ever In the sports of the occasion. Such ibreedng
is rarely, don't know but that may say never.
traceable to the Italians. 1t is feature which the
torestieri have introduced here, | am told and
which will soon ehace the last trace of one of thu
oldest and most interesting Roman institutions
extant.
