Street Life in D

The horrors of the poorest quarter:
of Naples have often been descanteC
on by philanthropists, and by none
more eloquently than by a learned ant
benevolent Italian professor, who de-
scribed his experiences in the writer'S
presence. Amid the accumulated mise
ries he witnessed, his compassion was
especially aroused by one ca1c-that OF
a widow, who, with two children,
boy and a girl, slept in a damp and
noisomc cellar, 50 infested by rats that
a large stone had to be kept in reach at
night to rep"l their approaches. The
principal s%ustenance of the family con
sisted of water in which chcstnuts had
been boiled, with some miscellaneous
scraps their clothing matched their
food and lodging. From this state OF
Indebtedness they were rescued by the
professor, by whose eXertions, after
having been washed and decently clad,
they were placedin a school, where the
children were taught, and the mother
employed as a charwoman. AT the end
of two months she threw up her situa-
tiCn, to 90 back, with her children, to
her old den. They were irreclalmable,
and could not bear the restraints OF
civilization. But in mitigation of the
misery of Neapolitan rookerics, it must
be said that they are mere lairs, resort
ed to for sleep alone, While the remain
ing business of his life is carried on
out of doors in the most equally benign
climate in the world. The back streets
and blind alleys of Naples are the
scenes of a perpetual picnic, recalling
the al-fresco housekeeping of agypsy
lamp. Fire is rarely lit within doors,
and culinary operations are carried on
in the street, over circular braziers in
the shape Of a warming pan, the char
coal in which is fannedto glowing heat
with a disk of plated straw, theinvari-
able substitute for Il bellows. These
movable hearths in winter become
centers Of attraction to the passerSby,
and the groups of loungers gathered
round them form Il conspicuous feature

which has served as Il kitchen is trans
formed into Il banquet hall, where,
about noon, the inhabitants may be
seen seated in front of their houses
eating boiled chestnuts or slabs
of yellow meal polenta, m~acaroni,
since the introduction of the grist tax,
having become rather an article of
festive luxury than Of daily diet. In
the streets, too, are performed I'LL save
the most elementary operations of the
toilet, and Embarrassing in all its
phases invites the attention of the
public, who are gratitied with the
Sight of the long black tresses in every
! stage of disbursement. The lava
pavement in front Of the doors is fur
nished in the afternoon as a salon
with a due allowance of ruSh.bpttomed
chairs, whose weight-carrying power
would seem to be of Il high order,
Judging from the ponderous rotundi-
ties they occasionally sustain. These
bulky matrons are generally engaged,
like SO many Farcae, plying distatf
and spindle, while the girls seated be-
side them are more frequently intent
on their hemming and stitching. The
Neapolitan street urclin is the most
gamin of all gaming, SURPRISING even
his Partisan prototype in his own walk.

Night and day it sings the sonnet,
Sings it while it sits alone;

Sits upon the grave and sings IL;
Sings it while the heart would groan !;

The Maiesty of SlOshOne Falls,

In the midst of one of natures

growth but sage, walled in on all sides
by precipitous and insurmountable
cliffs and walls Of rock, are Shoshone

volume of water, emerging from its
placid stream above, suddenly leaps a
distance of seventy-live feet, pauses an
instant, as if hesitating to take the
fearful bound, and then takes it's final
plunge into Il watery profound nearly
300 feet below! I have stood for
hours and watched, without wearying,
upon the summit of tile mighty walls
of Ea<alt which tower so grandly about
this marvel of nature: and watched
the descending waters as they poured
down. down, down, into the awful
abyss that yawns so far below ;
watched the clouds of spray as they
rose up and formed in misty magniti-
cence between the siles of the ire
mendous chasm blending their tender
frost work of silver and glass with the
purple and green and gold Of the suns
light until I'LL the lines of the prism
were seized, woven into fantastic
bands of beauty. and Eound around
the stormy brow OF tie majestic
cataract watched the great river as
it hurried away FROM the fearful
scene; heard the deafening roar and
crash CT the madly rushing torrent as
it swept in terrific grandeur by, and
my soul has stood still, awed into silent
by the incompatible spec
tacle. Nowhere else in nature have
these great falls a counterpart. No
where else in nature is there such an
overwhelming manifestation of IRE
sistible power, coupled wish such rude
savagery as hovers around Shoshone
falls. In a vast e of sage and re-

Elder D. A. i. LAyerty, formerly ol
this city, conducted q baptism in accord
ance with tho rites of the Church of God,
in the Susquehauna river Ut Harrisburg
yesterday. Ono man, three ladies and
four boys announced themselves ready to
20 down into the water. The man and
boys were easily disposed Of. The first
woman, however, caused some trouble.
Tho people on the bank guessed her
weight at two hundred pounds, but it
might have been twenty pounds more. 1t
was task for Elder Laverty. as she
nearly tainted ON his hands, and he could
scarcely hold her during the moment Of
dipping. Willing hands assisted the lady
to the bank, where she Joined the boys
and men who stood shivering in the sun.
Finally another lady entered the current
and stood by the elder. 1t came near
being the last time for either of them. The
rite Of baptism had just been completed
when the elder slipped and got into deep
water. He went in up to his chin, but
held the girl above his head for full
minute before securing another foothold.
1t seemed an hour to the people on shore,
and great excitement ensued. The girls
name is given as Mary White. She was a
little more wet than the others when the
shore was gained, and it is said caused
the trouble by struggling in Elder Laver-
tvs hands. One report had it that she
helped the elder out. This is denied, as
had it not been for the elders presence of
mind sho never would have gotten out at
all. After the baptism the crowd slowly
dispersed, and the baptised were led away
in their wet clothes.
