INCIDENTS I'M ITALY.


RoNE.-The characteristics of cruelty an
profanity were the subjects of my last com
munication-those of ignorance and supersti
ton will be Illustrated in this. How strang,
it is that the bad qualities of people are tn
first to impress US 1t is true that in decayine
nations as in decaying nature, the offensive anc
the beautiful are often most Eingularly united
yet our sympathy ever adds to the charms Of
the latter, while Our unmixed condemnation
falls upon the former, only enhanced by the

carriage was seen descending the hill between
the Capitol and the Tarpean Rock. 1t was
an ordinary one-horse carriage, with neither in

hidden by the winding of the road; yet the
rather common appearance of the postilion as
sured ME that none of Romes proud Cardinals
or Italys pretty princesses were commanding
the attention and admiration of all within sight
of this wonderful object. The whip fell from
the hand of the cruel man. The oath died

of cursing to that of prayer. The hurried ut
terance of Pater Nosters and Ave Maries filed
the air until the carriage passed slowly by and
these devout men rose in their places to finish
the several tasks on which they had been en-
gagged at the moment Of Interruption
As soon as the place again assumed its Or
dinaty appearance I approached a well dressed
gentleman, who had spread his white handker-
chief upon the street before he kneeled, and
politely enquired the name of the person in the
carriage.
Why, it is the Bambno," he replied.
But whose Bdmbino ?" I asked, knowing
that in italian the word only meant child.
The Bambino of the church yonder," he
said, pointing to an edifce Oh the site of the
old Roman temple of Jupiter Captolinus. |

After looking at it with savage grin, Maxi

himself with the golden crescent. But sud

head, were niotionless he uttered cry. The
blows of Barlzo had told upon him, and the
contested jewel was henceforth useless. The
two ears of the conqueror had been cit off!
Maxi rose up bewildered and looked around
him in despair.
But he saw only the ravaged islands, the ru-
ins of the two huts, some remnants of birehen
canoes and the body of him who had been his
friend.

"A punctual man is very rarely poor man
and never man of doubtful credit. His
small accounts are frequently settled, and he
never meets with difficulty in raising money to
pay large demands. Small debts neglected
ruin credit, and when man has lost that he
will find himself at the bottom of hill he
cannot ascend"

That's lost by signing.
How many SIN lies "a scorer
Then laugh and count no more,
For day is dying.
Lie down, sad soul, and sleep,
And no more measure

The loss of leisure;
But here, by this lone stream,

Stay then till sorrow die

THES we had 10 the year preceding but
GO steamboat arrivals.
Now, our files show for last year 90 ag-
gregate OF 1868 arrivals.
THEN two or three boats Q week were re-
gardcd as an extraordinary activity in the
steamboat trade.
Now, five or six and sometimes dozen
boats arrive daily at our levee.
IuEs, not single boat had ever ascend
ed the Minnesota river.
Now GO boats are employed regularly in
the trade.
THRs, we had not even we'll defined
road to st. Anthony or Saltwater.
Now, st. Paul is the terminus on the
Mississippi OF four radiating lines of railroad
in process OF construction, endowed with
$500 900 acres Of the public lands, and q
State credit Of S3,5O0,0O0, and embracing
an aggregate tributary system Of 900 miles,
of which rs miles traverses the Minnesota
Valley in q soathwesterly direction-ll2
miles connecting with the latter at Mendoza
connects St. Paul with the lowan sys-
TEN Of railroads, and go miles touching
the navigable extremties Of the Red River,
and grasping the fertile areas and intero-
ceanc development Of the ultra Northwest.
TuEN, an Indian canoe formed our only
ferry to the western shore OF the river. Now

the statistics Of last year, crosses every H..

aiterward the dream OF Goodhue; now rears
its substantial arches, nearly finished, from
shore to shore, on lofty columns Of masonry,
ninety feet above the water, with length
OF 1870 feet, and at cost, when completed,
of $4,000.
THEN $50 feet Of sloping bank at the foot
of Jackson street, pressed to the waters
edge by the steep declivity OF the hill, and
resting at one end on bluff, and at the
other on swamp, was our only levee with
one log house and one frame warehouse for
its business apparatus.
Now we have halt mile OF spacious
well graded levee lined with massive stone
warehouses.
THEN the name Of streets was given to
imaginary parrallelOgrams of land, inter
secting the virgin prairie, over ravines
and hills and swamps, and studded with
stumps OF trees, the real streets being lanes
and paths, running in every direction across
the undivided turf.
Now. within the past five years, over
1898, 900 have been expended in street i'm
provements, in grades and sewers. The
bills ard ravines which intersected the
streets, have been laid low and filed up to
an uniform level. Six miles Of street have
been graded the ascen,s from the leves
have been reduced to an easy and uniioI m
grade.
TuEx, the stars were our only lamp
posts
Now, five miles Of gss-pipe underie The
principal streets, and loo lamps illuminate
the night.
