had looked down upon what had been the
First Republic" and then upon empires ris-
ing and falling with their varied fortunes. 1t
saw the past glory of the Caesars and the cru
city of Nero 1t had seen grand armies of
invasion going forth to conquest. 1t had also
seen countless hordes of northern barbarians
plundering and sacking its wealth and beauty,
and witnessed one of their number (Odoacre)
seated upon the throne of the Caesars. And
now in the years of its great age, with pater-
nal anxiety and sorrow at heart, it watches the
tottering steps and the faltering gait of decrep-
i'd age and departing glory.

first object visited after my arrival was this
Word-tamed monument, and nothing that

In that historic city, my first walk would take
me once more to sit beneath those time-worn
arches, and by those solid columns and pillars
to muse again over all the past.

Cuba Its Extent, Population, Productions
and Recent History.

Cuba is a rich and fertile country. In the
words of Columbus, sit is the most beautiful
land that ever eyes beheld." It's soil is fruit
full and its harbors many and capacious. Its
sea front is more than fifteen hundred miles,
and the numerous inlets on its coast invite and
facilitate marauding parties, that were not slow
to improve these advantages in their earlier
years of its settlement by Europeans. 1t lies
almost within sight of our shores, being only
distant about eight hours run from Havana,
it's principal city, to Key West, in Florida.
According to Pezuela, the historian and sta
tistician of the colony. the imports amounted in
1869 to forty-three and half million dollars,
and the exports to ffty-seven and half mil
lions Before the disturbance which began
during the previous year, they had been esti-
mated at about fifty per cent. higher than that.
From 1861 to 1868, the yearly total of exports
and imports was estimated at one hundred and
thirty millions.
The total population of the island is some
what less than million and half. Ofthese,

with small number of Chinese, some of them
Coolies. All efforts to introduce free laborers
has been resisted by the Spanish authorities in
the island, because the Captain General receive:
| bonus for every African slave imported.
| The nature of the Government is thus de-
scribed by distinguished Frenchman who visit
ed Cuba in 1865. He says:
''The Colonial Government, that is to say

| had been 10 the Eternal City" week or
more, and Ia iHis time had made several visits
to the subject OF his sketch-had spent hours
sittiug amid lts grand old ruins, thinking over
and studying l. ; Wondrous history. My visits
had all been made during the daytime and |
had not seen night and by moonlight So
one night aboat ! cl k, after having been seat
ed for couple oi hours at my table writing,
walked to the widow of my room in the old
Palace where Logged, and looked out upon
the streets anu ,i.e., up to TIE clear heavens
so thlckly stuGGed with the lesser lights. !"
w While the fuu moon flooded everything with
that soft, mellow hight, so peculiar to Italy, a
light that Is c,ea;, pare and penetrating, | lean
ed of out tie caseaient listening to the Police
calling the hoais aud the hoot of some night
bird 10 souse ruins behind the Palace, while
some distant cur would keep barking at the
echoes thai the confiued space of some narrow
street with tai nouses would throw back to him.
[ found myset thinking over the past of this
classical CIV ana some of the relics OF iIs great
ness rose up before me. Among these, the Co.
losseum came iato niy mind and | at once con-
cIuded to make trip 70 it and spend few hours
bV moonlight WItitln IT'S ancient walls. having
determined upon $ roll alone, descended to
the street anu crossed TO the opposite side OF
the square (piazza Del Popolo) and went into
the Corso Ia fifteen minutes L was opposite
the Colosseum and In the Forum. The moon
light illuminated admirably this famous spot.
| went down to the wa near the Arch of tt
tus, and rested myself before entering the Co.
losseum. Not far away, the three remaining
columns of he Temple of Concord stood out
like FURNISHED silver in the clear light, where
as the beautiful Ionic portico of the basilica OF
Emilius, thrown into deep shade at its base,
caught in the rays of the moon asant their
broken en,abatufe, which fell thence on soli-
tary and broken pillar that appeared like thin
vapor hanging midway in the air. scarcely visi-
ble By the Temple Of Faustina, the three
dark caverous arches, dedicated to Peace, look
ed as the entrances to some witches cave, where
in they hold their Sabbath. InDumerable
night-birds hovered around them, and awoke
the echoes with their shrill and dismal cries. =
The tiny fame of Venus: the meta sudans
and the remains of Nero's golden houses, amid
the trees, seemed to be built of silver, over
shadowed by the argentine leaves Of the quiv-
ering aspeDs.
Dim, shadowy, indistinct, overpowering iu
its imposing magni6cence, circled the stupen.
