Correspondence of San Francisco Report.
The fashionable freak at Lake Tahoe about
this time is swimming craze, or to speak
more accurately, a craze for swimming
Everybody, more or less, takes a daily
plunge, less for the sake of the plunge than
for the pleasure of displaying fancy bath
ing suit some of them being too exception
ally utter. Among the late arrivals at the
Tallac House is young lady from Monterey
She has bathed daily down there and swims
we'll. The day after her advent at the Tallac
when all the world was abroad at the lake
shore, her young ladyshp, got up to per-
lection, looking pink and pretty, lost her
heart and became nervous at the idea of
bathing before a lot Of strangers. At Monte
rey it was all right for she knew everybody
but at Tahoe she was frightened. Convinc-
ing herself that no one was about the house
she went into the parlor, threw off her water
proof, and, drawing the piano stool into the
middle of the room, placed herself gently on
it and went gracefully through her natatorial
evolutions. A Suppressed litter disturbed
her as would breaker, and glancing up, she
saw two young gentlemen whom she had
overlooked in her survey OF the premises.
She did not wait.to accept an apology, and
she will not grant them their request for a
tintype OF herself at Lurline.

Government Expenses in Italy.
W. A. Croffut's Letter.


The fact is that when these diverse states
came together as Omitted Italy, there was
one question which even favor was not wise
enough to solve. Every one of the large
cities insisted on being the capital of Italy
Rome, Naples, Florence, Bologna, Venice
Verona, Genoa, Milan, Turin. Each had a
Palazzo Reale all ready for the illustrious
guest, each five times as large and expensive
the White House at Washington Victor
Emmanuel temporized. He boarded around
for awhile, giving a month or two Of each
year to each palace. But it made
exactly the same trouble it al
ways makes when the school
ma'am boards around-one was jealous
of the other. Finally Humbert concluded
to spend most of his time in Rome, but to
visit each of the other places for an indef-
mite time during each year. The result of
this is that there are eight or ten royal
palaces to be swept out and holystoned every
morning, furnished sumptuously and kept
in order, and the only income is the 20 or 30
francs day which each palace receives from
curious travellers. The cost is tremendous
probably forty times as great as supporting
the President of the United States and his
whole establishment. This causes a great
deal of grumbling and makes Republicans
by the wholesale. People who pay taxes
that is rybody-continually ask. to what
good?
