Letter From Rome.
ROME, Feb. 25, 1877

- ROME, Feb. 25, 1873.
8. BrRcHARD, ESQ My dear sir by di-
reeting an occasional letter in turn to the sew
eral members of the firm fB. W. & NJ, I shall
be able the more economically to keep you all
advised Of our whereabouts, as promised to
do. -
Since mine to Mr. Miller, the DIST ult. from
this city, We have been to Naples aud stayed
two weeks. Our stay there was devoted to
sightseeing, on and around the old places of
classic fame. Yessuvius, from which we could
see Naples and some forty other cities and
toEus at cur feet, was a perpetual interest.
Herculaneum and Pompeii gave US practical
insight into the customs, habits and every day
life of those who antidate our era. Excaya-
tions are still going on at each of the old cities
At Herculaneum was fortunate in arriving
Just as tho workmen were uncovering series
of old wine jars in an old wine shop. 1 was
permitted to remove the earth from one and
to be the first TO look upon it for the last 1900
years.
At Pompeii We saw, of course, much more;
for far greater portion of the city is exhum-
ed. II is difficult to think of conveniences in
the culinary art-in mechanics, or in surgery
&c, that they did not equal us. In statues
and frescoes, have seen nothing anywhere
which excel.
We have been now in Rome more than two
weeks-all the time Of the carnival, when fools
ara permitted to show their folly without be-
ing called foolish. It closes to-day.
We have seen much in Rome to interest
and instruct Nothing has interested me more
than the old Colosseum aud the old Pantheon,
which date the one before, and the other at
the beginning of our era. They give one an
idea of the mas siueness of architecture at that
day.
st. Peters is unrivalled and cannot be dis
eriJed. OF statues and paintings it is super
fuous to speak. Still, have feasted my eyes
upon Robarts Transiguration and his frescoes
in the Sixtine Chapel, and am content toicaH
them unsurpassed, while nave taken delight
in looking upon the sculptures of PrO1itiles
and others of ancient and modern fame.
At Florence we enter the unsurpassed col
Iections and paintings where We are next
bound. Respectfully, A. PHELPS.

Fremont Minstreis.-The musical tai
emit which has heretofore been latent power
in the possession of some of our youngsters
is to be empIoyedItO to a profitable purpose. We
discovered the other night, IN manner pure
ly accidental, that first class white Ethiopian
minstrel troupe is in process of formation. The
night referred to was very dark night, the
place Of retreat was dark unoccupied room
in third story. Drawn thither by unusual
sounds We discovered number Of young men
gathered about a table. The struggling rays
from a sickly candle described wierd images
on the walls and impressed one with the shud-
dering conviction that Methusaleh was buried
in that vicinity. One boy was clutching mad
ly at banjo, practicing the f'maniacs plunge"
SO we learned from the leader. The end man
was picking iudiciously at a rusty length of
stoVe pips, which the debris of dark corner
had centnbuted for the occasion. The 9th
81 end nan had bis mouth stretched over a
cot bedstead, to persuade it to adopt that en-
viAble size 50 indispensable to that profession.
The remaining members of the company were,
engaged in a species Of vocal gymnastics,
whichto timid and unlettered observer
seemed extra hazardous, but which they pre-
sumptiously termed Ainging. Such scene
We stumbled upon Tuesday evening. Our
first impulse on making the discovery vas to
fee from the haunted place where escaped
spirits from the realms of purgatory had con
gregated in the capacity of ':Liberal" con-
ventiOn; but sober second thought induced
US to survey the picture and refer it for med
itation. We did 50, and from our observation,
I G-=aaated By the opinions of various stand
ard authors, we are firm in the conviction that
4 minstrel troupe was being organized. An
anxious community will await its advent with
nervous impatience and prostrating solicituds.

We notice that Toledo papers have taken
up the water works question. This will be a
change, for some SIX months ago they devoted
their columns to water works, then they
changed to water works, and since then have
been discussing water works, so that now
something in regard to water works will be
refreshing.

many years that have rolled into the past,

a nice chair; has a disposition of surprising

attempting to lift it by certain piecs it sud-

useful and ornamental; among which are q

milking stool, a toy baseball club, and other
articles still more valuable. 1t is thoroughly

reason we consent to part with it is, our fear
of its being stolen.
