HARBoR OF MEsSINA, SICILY, April 20, 1881.
Since wrote last we have been to Naples TuniS
ana MesSlna and are going to Palermo tomorrow.
The weather has been delightful and we have been
now.
/ visited King Humberts palace in Naples and
never beheld anything so grand and beautiful in my
life Everything is decorated with silver or gold and
the furniture fitted up with mtlesS variety of silks
and vevets; some of the carpets are nearly a foot
thick. also visited the Art Museum and saw mul.
tldue of paintings some of them dated ar back as
HOO and they look like new There statues that
were made by the ancient masters before the time of
Christ can not give description of it all on pa
per.
Naples is great resort for travellers and tourists
They come to Italy to see the wonderful buried city
OF Pompe Old geSpviQS is still burning and grOwl-
ing and car been from the ships deck where we
are now lying 1t is very pretty sight in the night
The other day some OF Officers and went up the
mountain to get some lava, which can be found run
ming down the sides near the top They find it in a
soft state and put pieces of money in il and when 1t
cOOs il is like iron.
The streets of Naples are clean and nice V paved
and the coaches are the finest in the world Near the
city is a tunnel nearly mile long. through solid
rock, Jcade by NapOleOnS army in one day.
We have visited Tuns. in Africa. 1t is the most
0ntandish heatheniSh old place ever came across
The trouble between the FTench and the natives
brought us there. From our anchorage we could see
the ruins of old time Carthage which you read Of in
the bible, and which was old R1me's bitter enemy.
1 viii mention some of the principal places have
visited since leaving you first Washington. D. c..
Norfolk. Va St. Thomas. in the West Indies; LaGua-
yrA Barcelona, CqmaHa and Campana. IN Nenezula ::
