Travelling to Rome about the time OF the piebtsctte
was an arduous affair, at any rate by the direct
night train from Florence, via Foligno for the trains

every station by counter current OF trains return

A very inconvenient impedlment on the Foligno
line is The river Anio, three miles from Rome, over
which passengers nave TO proceed on foot on very
shaky plank bridge, with their carpet bags in their
hands while porters convey the heavier bag

on the leit bank OF the river, the rail-
way bridge over it having been wantonly
and uselessly blown up by the Pont1ca military au-
tnorities. The old stone Salarian bridge blown up
IN 1857, and the modern iron railway bridge,
DESTROYED ten days ago. are now both instances of

and enterprsing men OF business, chiefly from the
northern provinces, who have so largely contributed
TO the Improvement and briliancy OF The temporary
capital.
The busiest OF these immigrants are certainly the
journalists; Tor during the ten days succeeding the
entry OF the Italian troops there been least
ten newspapers started in Rome. The bgoted Os-
