Where and What are Savoy and Nico |

The mooted question OF tho annexation to
France of the Sandman possessions. Savoy and
Nice, naturally draws the attention Of tho Ameri-
can reader W that portion of Northern Italy,
The Duchy Of Savoy borders upon Franco aud
Switzerland. and is about tho size of Connecticut.
1t abounds in tho most magnificent mountain
scenery of Europe and the earth is 30 completely
wrinkled up, that wo wonder that man onn there
find foothod Mount Blanc, SO often placed by
tho popular mind in Switzerland is tho culmina-
ting point Of Savoy 1t is country rich in mils
cral ore; and its fertile slopes afford abundant pas.
turago to herds, and some of its valleys contain
luxurant vineyards. The Duchy of Savoy con-
tains more than six hundred thousand inhabitants
nearly al of whom speak n bastard French and
Italian. besides u jaw. breaking pdtois of their own
Chambery. the capital, is u well built city, in n
most picturesque situation. 1t was hcre that Jo-
scph dc Maistre. tho celebrated diplomatist. and
Vavicr de Maistrc, the equally celebrated author.
(of IN journey around my chamber" &e.,) were
born. 1t was in Chambery also that our own
conntryman, joel Barlow, wrote his famous lines
on "lIas,y Pudding" Tho Snvoyards have been
noted in times past for their bigotry, ignorance,
and II certain naircte, and simplicity Of character
Since the constitution o Carlo Albert. Savoy aud
the Sayv"yards ha'e much changed. Railways
IRE pushing through tho Alps; tho telegraphia
wires stretch once inaccessible mountain
passes; the press free unless in times OF war, has
had wider influence, because ten years oi II bet.
ter system of education has prepared tho way for
its amelorating mission.
The country Of Nice is n very small portion cf
the kingdom OF Sardinia. comprehendcd between
the maritime Alps aud the Mediterranean. aud
between the rivers Var and Andora. 1t is but u
little larger than tho State Of Rhode Island aud
has 250,oo0 inhabitants.
Sheltered rs il is by the maritime Alps on the
North and Fast. it enjoys climate almost like
that of Naples. Its chih city Nizza, Nice is
the great resort ot wealthy Englishmcn, Russians
Americana, and Germans, who 20 thther in win
ter to seek refuge from the cold blasts Of tho
North. There arc vast hotels and boarding
houses, containing more comfort and elegance
than similar establishments in other parts OF Italy;
and there nrc gardens whore the roso and the
myrtle bloom by the side of tho lemon and
orange.
The river Var, the present limit between Nice
and France, is neither n new boundary, nor was
it decided upon since the Christian Ern. The
river Var was fixed in the lst time of the Roman
Emperor, Augustus, as the boundary of Italy on
the North. As We mentioned in former article
Nice and Savoy have both been parts Of the
French republic proclaimed in 1913 there
was an immediate overture made for tho annexa-
tion Of kis portion OF the ancient House Of Savoy,
but Charles Albert rejected with promptitT,le the
suggestions ol the poetic statesman, Lamartnc.

Coon LivISo IN THE wEsr IspiEs--A recent letter
