sing vulgar songs which the foreigner
takes for national airs.
There aro not indeed so many begpars
as In Naples itself and its nelghborhood.
but the perpetual attempt to extract small
coin from the visitor occupies tho sole un-
divided attention Of at least ono portion of
the population. Here, as In Naples, the
guide guides not, but chhtters, butohcrinu

all southern Italy, the small receptions OF

natured northerner's face.
