New Orleans Times Democrat Translation.l
Venice seems to have been created just
for sea bathing. Everything battles here
houses, palaces. churches; and the whole
population, eager for GOODNESS, has its feet
perpetually in the water. Here people
battle just to keep cool In France. in Eng
land, one only takes dip or just moistens
oneself In cold water in order to get warm

young girls, young boys, even little child

tie canals
It Is impossible to imagine anything more
picturesque than all those doors opening
upon the water to let whole family pass
out to throw themselves in. The mother
lets her bambini into the canal, with rope
attached to each child's waist; the young
boys leap in like frogs; the old grand
mothers, who do not swim any more. take
care Of the children's clothing; and the
father swims after the little ones to ses that
nothing happens to them. And what shout
ing and laughing when a goudola happens
to pass near the young folks! They rush
after 1t. and catch on behind, as our
naughty boys at home catch on to the pub.

One can not help asking how'it Is that our
painters neglect these beautiful pictures Of
domestic life. that seem TO have been ex-
pressly designed and composed for them.
Nothing Is lacking; the scenery Is admira-
bic with its background Of antiquatei mar
BILE palaces, with church cupolas reflected in
the azure water, for this canal water Is al
ways pure after the great sweeping given to
the city by each high tide. And the color
Is unique, while the foreground Is infinitely
varied. But while fashion Is fashion, and
W. lie expeditions Of paintings succeed each
other, the artists will doubtless persist In
sending US views-in oil, In water oolors, on

Dangers from " hirh Engineers save
the Public AID Themselves

One who is accustomed TO railway
travelling can scarcely realize how much
he is dependent for safety upon the en-
gineer. Added to the responsibility OF
their station, engineers are also in con-
slant danger Of accidents caused by the
tricks of jealous rivals.
This rivalry, it is said, sometimes
prompts to the doing of utterly mean
tricks. A Nickle Plate engineer after
his very first trip was laid of because
he had "cut out" all the bearings of his
engine He was re-instated, however,
after he proved that some rival lad
filed his oiling can ruth emery. Another
new engineer was suspended Tor burning
out the flues Of his boiler. Through
grief at the loss OF his position he died,
and then conscence-stricken rival con-
fessed that he had put oil IN The tank so
that il foamed and showed water at the
top gauge, when in reality there was
scarcely quart in the boiler!
These intense jcalousies, together with
the terrible anxiety incident to their
work, has a terribly straining effect on
the nerve, and statistics tell US that,
though Locomotive Engineers may look
strong and vigorous, they are not all o
hearty class. ExChief Engineer A. S.
Hampton, indianapolis, Ind. DIV. 143),
was one Of those apparently hearty men.
but he saws: "1'he anxiety, strain, aud
jolting came near finishing me-" HIS

that Senator Johnston had never seen there
before.
"After the fall OF Vicxsburg," he said,
after a pause. "When Vicksburg capitu-
