Tho atreot-trato iB carried on il throe modes:
First, by tho primitive method OF
CAnRy1va nunpENs ON TIE HEAD.
Nearly everything weighing lees than 150 pounds
is thus conveyed BY men and women, especially
women:, In making excavations for buildings,
tho earth Is carried out in baskets on tho heads
Of mon and womon,-tho lattcr working for less
than 8 franc q day, and the former for a franc
mud half {90 cents). Brick, sstoue, mud mortar,
for building housea, asc also cnrfied in bas-
kota, bags, or boxes, on tho head, up ladders
five, ei1, or seven stories high, On the
| easos the hard pressure on tho skull and widens
tho point on which tho load rests. 1t was a
strange sight to SOC scores of women climbing
up ladders with heavy burdens Of building ma
tterials on their heads, and toiling thus for few
pence day.
The nexf mode Of streot-conYoyanco ie
TIE DONKEY AND TIE MULE,
which step along under pack-sRddlo and m
enormous load, generally with its owner Oh top
Of It. The burdens eeem out Of all proportion
to tue size Of those diminutiye brutos. How d
little donkey scarcely larger thau shoep, cnn
carry load that would seem oppressive for 4
horse, and. astrido Of the mighty burden, a

Of tho inilnitesimal boast IS it thus hobbies
along, sayo it's e2rs. which aro only less oon-
spic1ous than ita voice: t is vcry pleasant to
each otler, on tho stroets, in thor peculiarly
dulcet tones, which can be- heard for milo or
two; Tho donloy. is employed to pack every
s o. 6pm u apa .aS hn
10. miles around. In tho uarrowost atroets,
where carta cannot pass each other, or hardly
got through ainglo file, tho donkoye aro OK
clusiyely used to pack fuol, food, and all tho
EUluluaIEo " Luz 6lIGHtJ Auu u Uett AWAJ tuu
ashes, stroet-sweeplngs, pight.soil and every
other refuse out into tho fields and gardens.
THE VEHICLES Fon TRAFFIC
consist Of o combination Of tho cart and drav,-
tho body Of the latter mounted on tho wheels OF
tho former but tho wheels are one or two foet
higher thnu those Of tho American cart, ahd the
shafts aro held or fastened to tho baoksaddlo by
peculiar arrangement oil q Lowell with tho back of
the horse, and ofton higher than the animal. I
do not think there is a wagon In Naplos,-per
1inr1 In 1fhJx I Int 1&y.
orything not carried on women'a hoads or don
keys' backs is mounted on tho universal cart

tandem. have acon coming In from tho cot1l-
. try cart with couple Of tons Of old grapevine
brush wood, Or clippings, or other fuel,
sllafta. aided BY small mule on one aido and its
little doukoY daddy On tho other. Sometimes
the cart may bo seen rolling along dragged by 3
horse in tho shafts, and hoifer for helper on
quently 1t is mule and donkey, or COW aud
donkey; and sometimes three oxen abreast
furnish thn motive power. Many Of tho carts
arc drawn by one little donkey and an old woman,
who helps it to pull up bill, but rides on the load
on the down grade. At first theBo slghta attract
tho attention Of the traveller as something curious
or conical; but, in time, they almost escape
his attention, and scarcely cause o thought or
Bmile, such ia tho loroling power Of habit. Ono
conforms to strange customs more readily than
might be supposed.
Naples and all other 1tnlian cities arc amply
supplied with
oNE.uoRsE HACKS,
or cabs, with a falling top, which can be- raised
if it ralns or ia too warm. The usual charge is
q franc for the "course, that ia. from my
uoint in d city to any othoc. Thus, iu Naples,
ono can be conveyed or miles for franc.
The natives, however, only pay 10 oenta for tho
"course; i but q stranger mover thinks Of offer
ing loaB thRn franc, or 20 eenrs, which includes
'!pour-boiro," or drlnk-monoy, as ii is called IN
France but, In Italy, all gratulties 60 by tho
! namo Of " macaroni-money."
THE HORSES
Of Naples and Southern Italy are very inferior In
size and appearance. It il true they are tough,
| and can endure much hardship ana they are
constantly put to the test. Az rule, they aro
ill-fod and badly~abused oreatures; and, as COM
pared with tho horees In Chicago, tlloy are sor-
| iy-lookiug lot OF hrutoH. Tho carl md cab
