REPUBLICAN IN 1875

1t will be observed that In each set of
counties the Republican vote is about the
same-46, $50 in the first, and 1927 in
the other. while the aggregate Democratic
vote is II 900 greater in the first set than
in the second. It will be observed, too,
that the II Republican counties exhibit an
aggregate gain in population of only 7,4l5
while the II Democratic counties exhibit
an apgre gate gain of 66, 258-nine times as
great. 10 Davicess county, which is
Gen. Grants home. shows an actual fall
ing off in its population of sos: Knox
county, in which sthe Republican vote is
two to one, falls off l.. 1856: Boone county, in
which the Republican vote is six to one,
falls off 1897. and of the II counties six
show an actual decrease in population in
the last decade. Ii is evident that in Iii
nois Republicanism is not favorable to-
growth and Development; too much of it
is fatal to increase of population. and that
the Den communities are the chef
centres Of healthy growth aud progress.

house was very comfortable taken as
whole. In the morning we were up
bright and early for sightseeing ex-
pedltlon. Many of US visited the
nelghboring church of Ste Anastasia, an
ancient edifice dating back to 1861 and
containing some quaint stone carvings.
After breakfast we drove about the
city. First we went to the tombs of
the Scallgers, or della Scala family,
VINO during the latter part of the thir-
teenth century and nearly the whole of
the fourteenth were presidents of the
republic of Verona The monuments
are elaborately carved and very quaint.
we next went to the celebrated amphi-
theater, which though not as large as
the Colosseum at Rome, is in a much
better state of preservation. 1t is sup
posed to have been built during the
reign of the Emperor Diocletian, tow
ards the end of the third century. 1t is
$40 feet long, 438 feet wide, and 1O6
feet high. The arena itself is 24O feet
long and I41 feet wide, and in one part
a temporary structure has been set up
as summer theater. 1t is estimated
that the ediice would accommodate
$4,000 persons with seats, and that
10000 could stand.
Leaving the amphitheater, we drove
to the interesting church of st. Zeno
Maggiore, which is situated in the out
skirts of the city. A part of the church
was begun as early as l139. st. ZenO,
who was Bishop of Verona sometime
about the ninth century, is buried in
the crypt. AS he is the patron saint of
fishermen, painted marble statue at
the side of the choir represents him
holding not only his episcopal staff
but also fishing pole and line with a
silver fish dangling therefrom. We al
so rode by the house where the Capu-
lets are said to have lived, and visited
Juliet's tomb. Going through stone
cutters shed and descending a neglect
ed, or partially neglected garden, we
reached Il small stone building open on
one side and containing sarcophagus
which the irreverent liken to horse,
trough. There is no inscription to be
seen, and certainly there is nothing ro-
mantle about the place. ATHENIAN.

There was sadness in every eye as the
members of the club softly filed in and
took their seats. Each one had seen
the Grape on the hall door, and each
one had been told that death had again

years ago he poisoned dog belonging

bers of the club, and in the presence of
all he would confess, ask fcrgivness and
pay what the canine was worth. There
was great clapping of hands as he sat
down. Then Esquire Smith, arose, his
face wreathed in smiles, and replied
that he distinctly remem bered the dog
case, but the colonel didn't owe him
anything. The dog hadn't been dead
six hours when he killed and ate the

THROUGH THE TYRoL.
The journey from Munich southwark
into Italy through the Austrian Tyrol,
via. Kufstein, Innsbruck, Botzen and
Ala, is full of romantic and picturesque
interest. The first railway ever con-
structed across the Alps follows this
route, the Bremen Pass forming the
natural gateway for the iron horse, and
less amount of tunnelling being ne
cessary than on the Mt. Gents and St.
GOtthard routes. Nevertheless there
are tunnels enough to satisfy the most
eXactiDg mountain engineer and to ex-
asperate the traveller for it generally
happens that tunnel interpOses itself
just where the traveller gets ready to
look at some beautiful bit of scenery.
After travelling southwark as far as
Rosenheim, we began climbing the val
ley of the river Inn, which we had for
Il companion as far as Innsbruck, the
capital Of the Tyrol. The journey
from Munich to Verona would take all
day and well into the evening, and as
the train would not stop at any point
for dinner short of its destination, we
made avail of two lunches, one of which
was served at Kufstein shortly before
noon, and the other at Innsbruck some
two hours later. Between the two we
made passable dinner, though the ar
raneement was not at all relished bv
the landlord of the Hotel Royal des
DeuX Tours, at Verona, who had count
ed largely on the profits to be derived
from an avalanche of half furnished
tourists.
Kufstein is just within the confines
of the Austrian Empire and we were
there asked to pay our respects to a
fresh squad of custom officials. The
detention and trouble was very slight
in our case however, though the lug
gage of some of the other travellers
was quite thoroughly overhauled. The
officers were inclined to accept the rep
reservations of our conductor. and
chalk us through Francis Joseph's do
main without delay, thus giving US am
pie time for the before mentioned
lunch.
The scenery along the route is very
beautiful, and is varied into every form
of picturesqueness. The mountains
are approached soon after leaving Ros-
enheim, and Kufstein is reached
through a narrow defle. This place
is strongly fortified, new fortresses hav-
ing reinforced the old means of defence.
The scenery becomes bolder upon the
approach to Innsbruck. Mountains,
some of which tower to height of over
ten thousand feet, are ON either side,
