baldi's Letter.
From Our Special Correspondent,

OF all the uDcaunY places In which 10 spend
the festive season Florence Is the urcau-
niest, especially now tha, the enormous
expense Of living in the capital has
driven away the thousands OF English who,
In the old grand duchl times, lived here to
cconomize. But for the numbtrlrss pctition-
crs for maueie-iucluding not only bakrr,
butcher, postmau and beer boz, but also the
choFisters Of theatres, where sou have, pcr-
hars, never been, and the well-dresscd clerks
Of the circulating library and the lamp light
ers-but for the ciamor for ceppo or Christmas
box, one would larc no idea that the old
year had died out aud tie new year had be-
gun its course. The sweet shops arc rather
attractive, but that Is the ouly difference
in the streets. Flosentiue papas aud
1namas, who administer half lesson II
their children before breakfast, in order that
they may cnt less bread, are not likely to in
vet much in toys; nejghborly presents are
unknown. Now, wc receive annually D4a
dolce from Genoa, paud!tone from Milan, ,Aas-
tardo from Cremona, sfI eels from Kareuna,
and no end Of good things from Naples in
return for which We generally have recourse
to Photographic views, about the ouly Dc.
ccnt things to be purchased in the capital,
for Flotcntincs give nothing to anybody, 80
there arc no traditional "gifts' 10 bc found
With tile exccptfou Of tue young ladies ut the
Diace.eiic, the Ptusstan Protestant sohool,
nnd the $50 poor children 10 whom Mrs,
