Valuable Historical gontritS$s

Naples is q pretty good tctn( Stand!
OFF and look ut from tho ba1 It Is
located ON the. brow Of a hill, cxtcnd-
ing from the Costello del Orc, to the
top Of the !Capodimontc, and, ranged
around the semi7citc1lni hills ls it Is,
it reminds mo forcibly Of T0ihpkiHS-
villcs Staten Island.
Tho newer streets OF Naples hro
quite pretty and extend several miles
out beyond the town, like those Of
Fargo, Dakota, where sidewalks soy
cral hundred miles in extent wcrc
built at the expense of tho county. In
this way Fargo had Sidewalks that cx-
tended for miles i'll every direction
through tho %nclghboring farms, and
the county paid for them. Fargo has
been striving ever since to live up to
her sidewalks. Aside from this there
is little Similarity between Naples
and Fargb: Tho old streets Ut Naples
are narrow and crooked; aud tho
houses are so ligl, that a ripe pomo-
graMate dropped from the roof ON the

Naples claims to he the leading
lazzaroni vineyard of tho world. We
try to initiate her in New York. but
we fail. We have poverty enough in
New York and fluent, cxtemporancous
beggats MS we'll as more or less disease,
but We have not been able SO far To
unite our poverty and discnse in such
u way us to successfully Initiate tho
picturesque "lazzaroni. Of tho East.
| Our poor people. in Amcrica m too
| robust aud our. invulids are .tGo many
| of them wealthy. SO long as it is that
| way Europe and Asia will do our laz-
zaroni business in spite of all we -
do to prevent it.
We can get up a fair specimen to
travel, as we'll as the pleasing mall
formations peculiar 10 the lazzaront
~biioutcric Of tho Old World. ! somc-
times think that the reason Naples SO
long retained the supremacy over
other cities in this line was largely
due to the Stimulation resulting from
the close competition between VcsutiMs
and the local talent Of the lazzaroni i'll
the matter of c%rMpti9ns. Naples was
ut M time the county seat Of II duke
dom, but there was NJ call for u duke
dom in that part of the country and SO
it WAS succeeded by IL dynasty. Tho
Suabian dynasty was successful and
made money rapidly. There was q
good deal of suffering among the poor
people. but the dynasty did we'll and
accumulated considerable praputs:
When Charles III. entered Naples
i'm 1884 lie is said to have found 10000
thieves. They had stolen everything
hut Vcsuvius and We're getting $4,000
pairs of sheet iron mittcns made when
Charles entered the city. In 1860
Garibaldi entered The city. and later
ON Naples was annexed to tile Consti.
t~utional Kinglom of Victor Em,hrnWel.
1t has improved Il good deal since.

supported by people who come here to
see Vcsuvius vomit fire, smoke. and
melted matter called lava.--HiU Nue
