men, disporting in the waters The medi

like our own, and there is another aud a
novel feature, called the "sweat case"
where all persons suffering from nervous
complaints can indulge in the luxury of a
Turkish bath prepared by dame Nature.
There is curious cave in the locality of
the springs, about three miles from the
town, part of which distance is up steep

at times.
Coming back to the subject of the cave,

so in boyhood About four hundred feet,
should Judge the length of the cave to be,
and throughout the distance it is a mass of
staactites and stalagmites of endless
fanciful shapes and some oof them white
and clear. Twisted towers, curtains of lace
work, grotesque figures, spears-these are
some of the shapes assumed by the trucking
lime. There are three chambers, and III
one of them is a set of stalagmites that,
when struck with metal, emit very me-
lodious sound; they are called 'The
Piano. and the name is excellent, as their
tones fill the cave with soft, musical ca
dences.
There are other caves in the neighbor-
hood. Fifteen miles away from here, at
the coal mines, several caves were opened,
beautifully. decorated with crystallized
quartz, but the wonder is the one found
recently near Aspen-that is, its contents
were. A mummifed human being was
discovered in one of the chambers in a sit

separated from the trunk. Various i'm

almost level; but soon there will be some
heavy cutting to do Between there and
Grand junction the road will follow a So
called box canon, and the whole face of

A UNION DEPOT.
, the Editor Of NEE HERALp.

To the Editor OF THE HERALD.
A union railroad depot for this city
would be good thing. But the appropria-
ton of Pioneer square Sixth wardl for
that purpose should by no means be per
mitted. That is the place where the
pioneers of this mountain country first
settled and built, though but temporarily,
as after the city was surveyed they soon
moved to and bHilt upon their several lots.
The main idea naturally suggested by that
public square is rest, peace, quietude,
reflection. Rest for the intrepid and per
severing pioneers, after the turmoil of Mis-
souri, and Illinois, and after the thousand
mile Wanderings over trackless deserts and
mountains. That appropriate and beauti-
full idea would be violated and utterly de-
stroyed by using the square as a railroad
depot, for that means incessant hustle and
noise.
The proper thing, and the c1ly proper
thing, to do with that square, is to convert
it into pleasant public park or garden,
and hold the city authorities somewhat
remiss in not having this done long ago. II
the square shall be desecrated by being
turned into rafting railroad depot, it will
be matter for regret ever after. / would
much rather see the Eighth ward square
used for a union depot than the Sixth
ward square. CITIZEN.

TWO OR THREE GOOD THINGS.

To the Editor of THE HERALD:
The bouncing of Tanner is capital thing
too long delayed. The greatest mystery of
all is why such blatherskite was ever put
into such prominent Office, as he is mani
festly fit for none of any great Importance.
Corporal is about as high as such man
oughtto be lifted, and may be high private
would be moro suited to his endowments.
The best thing that Harrison has done is
the dismissal of his "God help the surplus
friend. A discreet man ought to be ap-
pointed to fill the vacancy.
Another good thing is that the Watson
Bros firm have been able to secure
stone-cutters to continue work on the
new bank building. While working men,
or any men, should be sustained in uniting
to help each other when help is really
needed, they ought not TO be sustained in
uniting to destroy other men, or other
mems business. To my thinking, it is rank
impudence and tyranny for any set of men
to unite to iniure another man if he will not
employ or refuse to employ the persons
they may presume to designate. Such
tyranny is worthy Of fine and imprison-
ment.
One more good thing, let us hope, will
be done, and that is, that the street car
company, who are busy just now ripping
up and rOughenlng several OF our SGreeUS
will put good sidewalk and street crossings
at the intersection of the streets where
their lines ran. At present, the condition
of things is frightful in many places. The
company should be poked up on this mat

As PLEASANT LONGING PLACES.

A church is large, shady, cool and comfort
able on the inside. and the temptation to
while away the hot hours Of the day in such
aplace is so great that the writer must con
fess that he has dropped into a like habit
with the people. There are also many
things of worth to be seen in the churches,
although one may not chance to know the
prescribed prayer, or just how and when
to kneel before the altar and images; the
finest art of Italy, both statuary and paint
ings, embellish their ancient walls.
Each nation has a prominent national
trait by which it is best known abroad.

a musician. But

FACE OF AN ITALIAN BRUNETTE,

FACE OF AN ITALIAN BRUNETTE,
you can complete the face and make from it
the features of most any other nationality
Of this continent and it's islands that you
please, except the face of an rishman. We
now thinkit is perfectly plain to the reader
where the beauty of the renowned beauties
of Italy lies; if not, you will have to eX-
anime for yourself.
Now from the lovely and tender subject,
we must descend to the poverty and rags
seen here, for they deserve passing notice.
Italy has her share of such, and more half
naked children to the square mile wallow
and play in their own muck in this country
than any other in poverty stricken Europe.
The pretty women described are very fruit
full, and a gentleman from the truthful
Vatterland tells US, upon his honor, that he
is well acquainted with an Italian woman
of Naples who is the mother of twenty-four
children; and still she is alive and healthy.
We failed to ask how many more, in his
opinion, she may be liable to bear.
One thing is certain, however, and that
is, that it can hardly be believed without an
actual sight, how many children play on
the narrow streets of large Italian cities.
This season of the year many are in state
of complete nudity, while we scarcely see
one more fully clad than with linen shirt
reaching down a little above the knees.
Whether it is shameful carelessness on the
part of the mother or that the culver is so
full that that they cannot receive due at
tention, we cannot say; but the children
are commonly in a frightful state of filth.

NAPLES, August 26, 1SS9.-[Special Cor
respondence of The HERALD. Here, by
the academy of Cicero, the tomb of Virgil
and the birthplace of Tasso, we essay to
give THE HERALD a short
SKETCH OF MODERN ITALY,
or rather to give impressions gained
through mingling with the inhabitants of a
few principal cities of the fair land.
Victor Emanuers rule seems to bring
prosperity, if it does not in every instance
bring the best of feelings. In some prov
inces the people strikingly feel it is strong
military reign which deprives them of
many liberties. The whole country, with
its something like 100000 inhabitants, is
not much larger than the territory Of
Arizona, yet it ranks as one of the first
powers of Europe in military Importance,
and its navy takes a third place in rank
The country is very thickly populated, and
outside appearances seem to denote that
the inhabitants have a hard struggle for
existence on its mountainous surface.
Sailing along the coast of Southern Italy,
one sees the hills and

to their very SUBMITS for agricultural pur-
poses; grand old Etna and growing Vesu-
vius are no exceptions to the general rule.
When an extra large burden is also placed
on the people for warfare purposes, aside
from the young men, the best helps of agri-
cultural homes being drafted into service,
we cannot wonder that some dlssatisfac-
ton exists. Italy's disunited states at
home, her foreign alliances, the present
complete equipment of the countries of
Europe make it a prime necessity that the
present state of things exist. And still we
assert that prosperity reigns; and so it
does, because the ignorant and worse rule
of priestcraft is partly broken. The latter
has been curse to Italy for ages.
But Italy is yet the land of the Pope, and
churches in full rig dot the land as thickly
as ticks on a spring sheep. They are al
ways open, and hundreds, nay thousands,
of votaries are ever before their pictures,
images and affairs. During the middle of
the day of this hot season, they serve

AFLUTTER AMONG THEM;

while in conversation one with another,
they, like all Latin nations, speak as much
in gestures as with the tongue. The ges-
lures harmonic very nicely, though, with
their musical language; and phlegmatic
Teuton could never get through the per-
formances with the grace of one of the
natives, even if his forcible language would
admit.
In build, the Italians are not large; the
soldiers seem to stand over than the SOL

males are rather better proportional than

Among the former, we find some extremely
beautiful women; the prominent feature
seems to be the eyes, which are of deep
