Street Scenes in Naples.

The street scenes of Naples are q
study in themselves, and wonld enter
tain a traveller for days even if he never
entered building. The curious garbs
of the ecclesiastics. who seem to form
large proportion of the inhabitants, the
grotesque appearance of the street
venders, with their wares piled up above
their heads, and hanging TO all parts of
their bodies, the brilliant dresses of the
middle-class women, and the fantastic
costumes of the beggars, who are pic
turesque in their very nakedness, give
variety to the scene. The cat's-meat
man, with his viands strung on a long
pole, from which he detaches q piece
and carves it with his knife for each of
his four-footed clients, is most extra
ordinary sight The public scribe, pro-
tected from the rays d the sun by an
umbrella, as he sits at table inditing n
love-letter, perhaps, for Neapolitan
daInsel as beautiful as she is illiterate,
is useful as well as picturesque.
Another remarkable parsonage is the
cigar scavenger, who at night goes
about with his lantern hunting for old
stumps. which he sells to manufacturers
to be converted into the filing for fresh
cigars. To these may be added the
zamppgnari or bagpipers, and host of
other curious characters, ranging any
where from a cardinal, attired in GRIM
son and riding in gildcd coach, to a
baby, bound up, after the manner of
Neapolitac babies, in the straitest Of
swaddling-clothes, and looking more
like roll of linen just come from q
draper's shop than a human being.
The advent of the zampognari in
Naples always heralds the approach of
one of the more important Church fes-
tivals. They come from their distant
homes in the mountains of the Abruzzi
to Naples and the surrounding towns to
celebrate the Immaculate Conception
and the advent of Christmas. Wearing
pointed felt hats, wrapped in long
brown cloaks, under which occasionally
appears goat-skin jacket adorned with
large metal buttons, their s}egs encased
in tight-fitting breeches aDfar as the
knee. and their feet adorned with rags
fastened by leather thongs about the
ankle and calf, they are most pictur-
esque objects. Thus attired, the zam-
pognarl 90 lrou house ~ uouse, silly
ing and playing before the little gilded
images of the Virgin and the Child, and
stopping before the street shrines, where
they repeat their monotonous song. On
Christmas Eve, when there is spirit OF
liberality abroad. the zampognaro
usually receives large number of cop
pers, and as much in the way of food
and drink as his stomach can accom-
modate. When the festival is over they
return to their mountain homes, there
to pass their time as laborers or shep-
| herds until the next occurs. The bag
pipes of the Abruzzi frequently act as
models, their picturesque costume adapt.

StOddard,s Mule.

Many years ago down in Idaho, during
q gold excitement, good many men
went into the country to make money
outside the gold-hunting industry. Their
idea was to make the other fellows delve
for the gold while they appropriated it
afterward. Rollin Daggett, afterward
Nevada's Congressman, established q
ferry-boat on a small creek and named
the place Deaths Ford" at the same
time inventing a musty legend to the
effect that it was thus named because so
MANY lives had been lost in the attempt
to cross it. The stream was not over a
dozen yards wide, and the water no
where over two feet deep, but he rugged
up flatboat and pulled it back and
forth by rope contrivance. Whenever
the prospectors crossed he regaled them
with horrible tales of the treachery of
the stream, and the remorseless quick
sands which had drawn SO many men
and mules to terrible deaths.
In the night when he ferried people
over he would caution them not to get
too near the edge of the boat, as fall
overheard was certain death. BY let
ting the dim old lantern go out and
making slow time he frequently inn
pressed the passengers with the idea
that the stream was half mile wide.
For night trips he charged So. but if the
wind was high and the weather bad he
struck sanguine prospectors for much
larger sums. In the daytime 81 was
his modest charge.
He went along in this way fer
several months, the men who rushed to
the hills looking upon him as bene-
factor to his race by this conquering Of
SO formidable an obstacle TO travel as
.Death's Ford" One day Charlie Stod-
| dard, the promoter. appeared on the
! bank with a mule and boarded the fiat
! boat TO cross. In the midst of the
stream. Just when the ferry-man was
! telling how dangerous the place was,
! the mule grew restive and fell over
board. Gne leg caught on rope, and
he got his bead under water, and. un.
! able to eXtricate himself, was drowned.
! When he was cut loose he lay there in
the middle OF Deaths Ford" half out
of water, so that all who came along
saw what 4 miserable sham the ferry
was, and tuat any four footed animal
could walk across. Daggett tried to
get The mule away. but he was toe
heavy to bulge, and SO he lay there
in plain sight for weeks, until Daggett'
business as a ferryman was ruined
That's the reason old Dag hardly evel
speaks to Charlie Stoddard when he
meets him.-CGrSOl (Neu.) AppedL.

The Northwest watershed.

1t is to one OF these geological
''might have beens" that venture to
ask the attention OF thesection to-day
-one which is the more interesting in
this city because upon it depends the
interests-the very existence. | may
say-of Buffalo and its relation to Chi
cago. Buffalo, is the outlet port of the
great lakes; Chicago the port at the
head otnavigation. Thisre relationship
is not accidental, but is based on geo.
logical causes that existed before either
city was founded. 1t depends on the
drainage OF tho lakes. The four upper
lakes are a most remarkablege geological
combination. A large part OF all the
fresh water on the globe is banked up
on tableland 500 or 6o0'feet above
the sea. The drainage, ofcourse, flows
over the dam at the lowest point, Black
Rock, but by remarkable coincidence
there are two points almost on the
same level, Black Rock and Chicago.
The watershed behind Chicago is but
twelve feet above Lake Michigan, twen-
vt five feet above Lake Erie. The geol-
ogists of Buffalo know that the land
on both sides OF Niagara River is only
q few feet above the water. .Conse-
quent!y a dam twenty-five feet high
across the river at Black Rock would
be sufficient to throw the waters ofthe
upper lakes into the Mississippi by the
Illinois River. The most beautiful
stream on the continent, the st. Law
renee, would be annihilated or greatly
reduced, and the dirty ditch of Chicago
would carry the tribute of the great
lakes into the Father ofWaters. But
faio would in that case be at the head
of navigation and Chicago thenaturai
outlet port. On so slender a thread
did the destinies of these two cities
hang.-E. w Claypole, at Buffalo.

Material for a Drama,

The daily papers are full OF romance
as wellas politics, rascality and disas-
ter. A little episode OF recent occur
renee furnishes the materialfor a very
presentable drama. Fourteen years
ago the marriage bells rang in a Bos-
ton church for handsome John Winter
and pretty Alice Lee, and handsomer
couple, so comment said, never vowed
to be faithful to each other. Four
years later, after two years Of never
ending dissension and strife, they sepa-
rated by mutual consent, and, accord
ing to agreement, the wife sued for
divorce on theground of desertion, and
in due time received the courts decree.
In that they were not at all unlike the
countless couples whose follies made
life a misery to themselves, while SWELL
ing the fortunes of divorce lawyers
and witnesses. But mark the sequel.
Less than year ago they met each
other again, after both had had time
to discover their folly, and when each
began to realize that the other was
not all to blame. There was apparent
ly nothing emotional in their meeting
which closed but to be followed by
another. Before the ex-husband knew
what he was about he was dead in love
so the chroniclers say, with the woman
from whom he had so gladly sepa-
rated nine years before, and what was
equally strange the woman was quite
as much in love with him. They met
again, they talked it over, and one
day minister was called in to annul
the decree ofdivorce. Alittle daughter
born shortly after the separation, was
among the few witnesses who saw the
quiet ceremony and among the very
few people who lived to witness the
marriage of their parents at any time
or place.
