ed him Chris, for short / wished to
learn what part Of Maryland he first
landed on. 1t was kind in Chris to
come over to discover us, bat if he
hadn't have come as he did, we would
have went over and discovered him, and
| then all the emigration weuld have
been that way instead Of to this c0un-
try, and all the noble red men would
have hunted buffaloes and scalps in
Italy. Oh! this noble red man. ]
think zee his virtuous scalping-knlie
taking off some worn out wig. am
not satisfied whether we owe him debt
of gratitude for discovering lis or not;
but if he had not found Us, where would
we have been? And then what would
have become Of the Fifteenth Amend
ment? II would have been q dreadful
thing not to have been discovered by
some person. might not have been
found. But am getting quite used to
it now. The theatres are Carlo Felis,
San Augustine, Paganinni and Apollo.
The first is a very large one They are
heavy and dingy-looking. Paganinni,
the fiddler. was born here. He don't
fiddle now, because he 8 dead.
The women of Genoa have peculiar,
not pleasant faces. did not see a
handsome lady and | was in their gar
dens and fashionable resorts. A great
custom here is the wearing Of their
muslin scarfs (what Americans call
illuson) on their heads instead of bon
nets. Some of our ladies wear postage
stamp, and call that bonnet. A lady
friend of mine got one lately, and her
husband carried it home in his vest
pocket III an envelope. But these Ge-
noese ladies pin the scarfto the head and
let it fall gracefully over their shoulders.
1t would make any woman look well.
1t is picturesque.
The galley slaves, H. they are called,
Though the galleys are abolished) are
kept at work on the dry dock. They
dress in rel. There are over seven hun
dred Of them, and desperate looking tel-
lows they are. 1t is terrible punish
ment to. be plradcd through the streets
for wears a. a iclon. The murderers are
distinguished by Il black band around
their caps. All convicts are pardoned
when their sentences are ha1fserved, If
they behave Themselves 1t seemed
hard to punish man for 80 small an
offence a. taking human life, Uhey have
stopped hanging pretty much in Amer
lea. J but murder is no longer a fine art
in Italy.
The PdIazzO Doria Tursi Is occupied
a. city offices, and for the keeping of
articles Of curiosity. Among them are
various manuscript letters Of Columbus
Prospecting his will,) Pagannini, syiolin,
a piece Of embroidery Illustrating the
martyrdom Of 81. Lawrence, said TO be
nineteen hundred years old; Il believed
it rather than hunt for proof also many
other things of great curiosity to back
wood,man. Italians are n reading pco-
pie. They have many newspapers. !
saw in one newspaper, printed in Italian
an article by "Orazlo Greeley, about
the htc civil war; not all Of il, hut
enough for Italians. 1t was to he con
tinucd and Judging from the way it
commenced, it will serve these people
for five years.
The steamships lay outside the harhUr
about mile. and the boatmcn charge
twenty cents for taking You on board.
The price iS regulated by law. Car
riare, cost about thirty cents an hour
here. The Cathedral of 81. Lorenzo
is a noble structure. 1t was built III
the eleventh century. The columns Of
the portals were taken from Elmira as
part of the spoil- at the capture of
that city. The richest part of this
church is the chapel and haptistry of
st John the Baptist No female is per-
mitted to enter except one day in the
week-an exclusion imposed by Pope
Innocent the VII II that state Of
things existed in America. Miss Dickin-
son. Olive Logan and George Francis
Train, would form party to add a Six
teenth Amendment to the Constitution,
to keep it open all the time. All of the
churches are interesting. The Academy
of Aros is worth q visit Genoa and its
surroundings show best from out IN the
harhor or on the Mediterranean Sea.
They manufacture silver tilagree work
pecnlar to Genoa. Til" Protc~tants
have II fine place al worship here, but
as in all other Italian citcs they make
no converts, and their missionaries are
useless appendage to any church.
They have strange fancy of preserving
| the exterior of their housc>-some OF
them on the outside look like chequer-
boards. Some are painted in most
fantastic col0rS. Genoa was once very
/ classic old city. but it has degenerated
very much. If the old maxim is true,
/ that cleanliness hc neXtto GodllneSs,
the Italians are, fear, the greatest
atheists in the world.
