and has had a much greater number. Glib
bon and Byron will always afford new
pleasure TO man who has visited Venice,
walked through its narrow paths between
the houses, and padded through ITS streets
of water, under the arches ana out across
the LaglIne to the Carnival, to see the 81
600 gondoliers and hear the rythmic hum
of the gondoliers. See these palaces which
combine every style of architecture which
the merchants of a world could import,
and columns and statues from Egypt,
Greece and Palestine. But Venice, like
italy, with which it is now Incorporated
under Victor Emanuel, is decaying. Its
palaces are converted into hotels, its COM
merce is no longer considerable, its Doges
are gone, and many of the beautiful arches
of their public buildings are but entrances
to miserable shops. Thirty thousand of
its population are beggars, and an Italian
gun boat, "built on the Ameri-
can plan" they say, stands of its
port and maintains the authority of
a foreign potentate, over a people who are
remarkably proud of their early history,
and who point with evident glee to the
many tablets and monuments and trophies
that adorn their city in commentator of
old victories in the East.
An old Venetian told me an interesting
story of his city, that am sorry | cannot
repeat in full. He claimed, however, that
Venice had been invincible in arms, had
won every battle by sea and land, had been
growing richer and more beautiful year by
year, until Napoleon came in QT97l as its
protector and friend, and then remained its
master and enemy, until he gave it up to
Austria by treaty. During the Prussio-
Austrian War in 1866, Italy espoused the
Prussian cause and won, thus putting
Venice under Victor Emanuel, where it re-
mains and rusts. It's Arsenal and Dock
Yard, which has cost many millions, and
i'm which ocean steamers can be built under
the roof is used only as quarters for COM
pany of guards. But the evidence of the
former glory of Venice will never all fade
away. Her massive columns and archways
will last another fifteen hundred years, and
after that the school of art she founded, and
still longer-lived, will he the fiction and
poetry and history in which the names of
the greatest authors are tied with Venice.
We 90 to Bologna to-day, and shall make
haste to get out of the hot weather of Italy,
and up into Switzerland, via Milan, Como
and st. GOthard. There is considerable eX-
element here about the war between
France and Prussia, and many think Italy
will take a hand in it yet. p.

great military geniuses of the world have
been engaged here with the armies. Think
of Caesar, Hannibal, Napoleon, sand lastly

extended to the aged couple warm aud hearty
