Wanderings in France and Italy.
DEA]: GAZETTE :—We left Paris, aparty of
five, one bright; morning in April, carrying
with us only satchels and shawl straps for
we resolved to escape the annoyance of a.
trunk, which must be weighed continually
and makes itself a general trial and expense.
Aslsaid, it was a pleasant morning when
we left; the sun actually shone upon Paris
after I don't know how many days. We
were in search of sunshine, but having only
too little faith in the sunniness of Paris we
turned‘our backs upon it and, settling our-
selves comfortably in the railway carriage,
prepared to enjoy the lovely glimpses of
country from the windows. Away we went
through the forest of Fountainbleau, villages,
open country, the quaint old town of Sens,
creeping up the hillside; its fine cathedral
occupying the highest part and watching
over the houses that seem to lead up to: it.
We had fleeting views of peasant women,
working in the fields or bending under loads
of fagots on their backs. Instead of prosaic
fences the land was divided off at long inter-
vals by pretty hedges,and as the country was
cultivated in long strips the hills presented a
variety of patchwork in rich browns and
delicate greens. We journeyed on, keeping
pleasant company with the River Rhone,
exclaiming over a ruined castle now and then
and the clustering roofs of: the ancient terms;
As time went on we came to vast vineyards
and to the mountains, the latter joining with
the clouds in the creation of rare and perfect
effects. And the rugged mountain-sides of
France and Italy are all carefully terraced.
It is wonderful the industry of the peasants,
who cultivate every available or unavailable
spot of land among the rocks,-—-high up on
the mountainside, no matter how small or
almost how perpendicular it may be. I
hardly sigh for such a garden up against the
sky, not even with the glory of snow-capped-
peaks and leaping cascades all about it.
As we went south I looked eagerly for the
first olive tree ; then for the orange, the palm
and the lemon and at last for the sea! the
exquisitely colored Mediterranean. I am sure
the days of our journeyings along its beauti-
ful shores will never grow dim in my remem-
brance. To be sure we passed through two
hundred tunnels or more, but between whiles
we had rare glimpses of bold, dark rocks and
enchanting towns over a sea of most brilliant
and intoxicating blueness. In the beautiful
bays near the shore the .water turned new and
then to a light, delicate green, and dark sea
weeds underneath made it rich purple in
spots. The fragrance of orange blossoms
floated in at the car windows,and roses clam-
bcred over the hedges at the stations. After
we had passed the Custdm House at Vinti—
minglia we began to realize that we were in
Italy. There were crowds of idlcrs at the
stations, and boys scrambled along the
shore for money thrown out of the car win-
dows by amused travellers. , ,
We spent a few days at San Remo and
climbed up through the winding, up-liill
streets or lanes of the old part of the town.
Mouldering arches between the houses, ovcr
the streets, were built to support them in
time of earthquake. The people live crowd-
ed together in little dens or holes, like rats.
The sun hardly finds the bottom of the nar-
row alleyways. Hard-faced women with
their heads adorned with bright handker-
chiefs stared at us,and children toddled after
us, beggin". I never realized what unclean-
ness could be, before, and if certain pain—
fully neat New England housewives should
come to such a close knowledge as we did
that day of how Italians of the lower classes
live I am sure they would never survive the
shock. After our short stay at San Remo
we travelled hastily on to Rome, hoping to
reach the city in advance of the warm
weather. .
As this letter discloses in every line the has-
tincss with which it is written, I do not need
to make excuses for it, perhaps, nor plead a
want of time. It has been scratched off at
odd moments, and I find it harder than ever
this warm morning to go back to Our Roman
days, charming as they were.
Especially as every one here is talking of
the sad death of the young Prince Napoleon.
I promised to tell you more about Italy,'I
know, but if you were here, feeling as I do
the oppression of this weather, and with the
sound of the unmusical voices of the street
vendors in your cars, you would not care to
hear about the beauty and the art of Italy.
I even imagine you would prefer to hear me
discourse upon the huge balloon back of the
ruined Tuileries, which is the most conspic—
uous thing in all Paris just now. But we
are going to Germany in a few days, and if I
do not talk a little more of Italy to you this
morning there is no knowing when I ever
will. It would be refreshing to think of the
cool, dark shade of the olives in the beautiful
Borghese gardens at Rome. But what Haw-
thorne says of it is true, alas, if you lie
down to enjoy the cool mossiness and shade,
death comes and reclincs by your side.
When we drove through there one afternoon
in April, I wondered if the artists, sitting in
the damp grass, busily painting, lost all fear
of the fever in their love of art. When the
bells were ringing Easter morning we went
to St. Peter’s. Crowds of people were lis-
, o u u -
tening to the music, and it was very intcr- ,
esting to watch the worshippers devoutly
kissing the worn toe _of the queer old bronze
statue of the Saint. Peasants lifting up their
little children that they might share in the
blessedness of the deed, and fine ladies,
wiping off the the shining? toe with their
handkerchiefs before touching it with their
dainty lips.
It was a beautiful Spring morning that we
first looked upon the Colosseum and wander-
ed about the ruins of the Palace of the
Caesars. We gathered flowers upon the
Appian Way and enjoyed the distant blue
mountains, making a lovely background for
the arches of ruined,aqueducts; the bright-
ness of the morningonly added to the sadness
of the ancient tombs. At the baths of Car-
acalla guide sold us a small piece of por-
phyry which we treasure carefully. I have
no time to write of the glory of Italian
churches with their wealth of fresco, paint-
ing, mosaic and‘precious stones. And if I
had all the time in the world, and all the
grand expressive words in the language at
my command I should still write in vain.
They cannot be described. One morning we
found ourselves on the hill over Florence
where the old church of San Miniato stands,
the heights of Friesole were opposite us and
mountains kept guard over the beautflul city
in the valley. Some of the distant peaks
glistened with snow. The Arno wound along
bright with many a fair reflection and from
the centrcof the city rose the dome of the
great cathedral of black and white marble.
In front of it is the Baptistery (with the
wonderful Ghiberti gates), and very near,
.lifting its delicate proportions towards the
blue sky, is one of the fairest objects in that
city of treasures, the Campanile, or Giotto's
Tower. '
At Rome we drank deeply of beauty,
antiquity and art. We felt strongly the
fascination of the place, but we loved {Flor-
pointcd us in Rome.
encc truly and devotedly. Nothing disap-
.Wc were more blcst
with t he happiness of looking at the pictures
we had longed all our lives to see than we
ever expected, and we came away with
beautiful memories of Raphcal‘s Transfigur—
ation and Guido‘s Beatrice, to say nothing of
rare pictures in marble, and 0, a perfect par-
adise of fair and lovely forms! But Flor
once is a place to live in and find a home.
We found the house of Dantc in a little nar-
row street, we stood in Savouarola’s cell in
the Monastery of San Marco. There was
the house of Michael Angelo to visit,’ to say
not even one small word of the works of his
we saw,and felt, and the beauty of which we
were filled with. And in the beautiful old
church of Santa Croce adorned with paint—
ings by Giotto, were' tombs of Macchiavelli,
Galileo, a monument to Dante, doc. It is
dreadful to be writing of such things in this
hasty way, but there is'no help for it. From
Florence we went to Venice and the works
of Titian. Venice seemed quite natural to
me. I have studied so many descriptions
and looked at so many photographs of it and
i took to the indolence. of floating about
in gondolas wrth surprising case. We fed
the pigeons in the Piazza San Marco and
walked over the sunken mosaic floor of the
old Cathedral. During the fete of San Maroc
we looked down from the gallery, where we
were' very near the golden frescoes of the
domes and ceiling, upon a procession of
priests, bishops, &c., chanting and moving
uncomfortably through the crowd. There
was rare music from the choir and during it
a very curious thing happened—from high
up in the dome I saw something that looked
like a huge piece of black crepe come float-
ing slowly down. It proved to be an immense
cobweb, centuries old, perhaps, and it
alighted upon the head of a poor little boy
in the crowd below and covered himfrom his
crown to his toes. I have not even mention-
ed Pisa with the Baptistcry holding :1 won-
derful echo, but my time is all gone «and I
must say no more. _ -
Twice in Italy we were fortunate enough
to catch a glimpse of Queen Marguerite.

Stimulants as an Aid to.Dl gcslion.
Dr. B. W. Richardson, an eminent physi-
cian of London writes the following in regard
to “Stimulants to aid digestion:”
“The common idea that alcohol acts as an
aid to digestion is without foundation. Ex-
periments on the artificial digestion of food,
in which the natural process is very cleverly
the solvents employed interferes with and
weakens the eflicacy of the solvents-It is
also one of the most definite of facts that per-
sons who indulge even in what _is called the
moderate use of stimulants suffer often from
dyspepsia from this cause alone. The use of
the stimulants leads to flabulancy after meals,
to tendency to sleep,to indolence of mind and
body and to disturbed rest; in fact. it leads
to the symptoms which, under the varied
names of biliousness, nervousness, lassitude
and indigestion, are so well and so extensive-
ly known. From the inevitable paralysis of
the minute blood vessels which is induced by
alcohol, there occurs, whenever alcohol is in-
troduced into the stomach, ingestion of the
vessels and redness of the mucous lining of
the stomach. This is attended by the subjec-
tive feeling of warmth or glow within the .
body, and is followed by an increased secre—
tion of the gastric fluids. It is urged by the
advocates of alcohol that this action on the
stomach is a reason for its employment as an
aid to digestion,especially when the digestive
powers are feeble. At best the argument
suggests only an artificial aid which it cannot
be sound practice to make permanent in
place of the natural process of digestion. In
truth the artificial stimulation, if it be resort-
ed to even moderately is in time deleterious.
It excites over-secretion of the stomach and
acidity, and in the end it leads to weakened
contractile power of the vessels of the stom-
ach, to consequent deficiency of control of
those vessels over the current of blood, to
organic impairment of function and to con-
firmed indigestion. On these grounds I infer
that alcohol is no proper aid to digestion. I
know from daily observation that when it is
felt to be a necessary aid, it is doing actual
mischief—the very feeling of’necessity being
the best proof of the injury that is being
inflicted, Lastly, on this head it is a matter
of experience with me that in nine cases out
of ten, the sense of necessity, on which so
much is urged, is removed in the readiest
manner by the simple plan‘of total abstinence
without any other remedy or method. When
in exceptional cases total abstinence fails,
other remedies, as a rule, also fail, and this is
an indication that the natural functional ac-
tivity of the digestive organs is irrevocably
destroyed. It is an important fact strangely
overlooked, that even if alcohol does promote
secretion of the gastric juice, it destroys the
efficacy of that fluid as goon as it comes in
contact with it, thus exhausting the power of
the stomach, and not adding to the amount of
aVailable gastric juice.”
“Usc dud abuse of Alcohol.”
In the second of three articles contributed
to the Ohrt’atian Union by that eminent pit);-
siciau and surgeon, WILLARD PARKER, M.
D., whose summer home is in New Canaan,
he makes this point i.‘ ‘Alcohol is neither food,
force nor fuel to the human frame. What
does it do? It is never digested. It weakens
force. It acts as an irritant. It acts disas-
trously upon the blood corpuscles, impairs
their vitality, robs them of their oxygen, and
destroys their usefulness, and so produces the
disease known as fatty degeneration. It
hastens the inevitable approach of death. It
deadens the higher faculties, and leaves the
drunkard under the control of the lower;
the conscience, the affections, the reasoning
powers are temporarily destroyed‘d perma-
nently impaired; and he whom God made
to be under the dominion of reason, comes
under the vale of brutal instincts." He con-
cludes thus:
“But while the direst effect of the drink—-
ing of distilled liquors is upon the brain, the
evil is by no means confined to that organ.
Poisoning the blood, alcohol poisons the
whole system, and effects with disease every
vital organ—the lungs, the liver, the kidneys,
the stomach. These are the physological
effects of alcohol as. discovered by careful
scientific investigation by the most eminent
pathologists. They are confirmed by widely
extended observation of the practical effects
of drinkingas witnessed in daily life. The
workingman who takes his toddy in the
morning becomes tired early in the afternoon;
his comrade who takes his milk and water
or oatmeal gruel, works through till night
without exhaustion. Soldiers on the march
give out sooner if allowed alcoholic rations
than if denied them. traders and explorers
who have gone into high latitudes find b
experience that they must abstain from al
use of distilled liquors ; they cannot hear the
cold with alcohol exhausting the heat of the
body. Social statistics show the effect of
alcoholic drinking in hastening decay and
shortening life. The average life of temper-
ate people, in which category I” include both
total abstainers and those who use fermented
liquors but only temperately. is sixty-four
years and two months. The average life of
intemperate people, in which category I in-
clude all those who habitually drink alcoholic
liquors, using them not merely with their
meals but drinking at different hours of the
day, is thirty-five years and six months,
Thus the average life of a drinker is but lit-
tle more than half that of the non-drinker,
and yet we are asked to believe that brandy,
whisky, gin and rum are wonderful promoters
of health, strength, and life.

Going on an Excursion.
They had been preparing for the excursion
for about two weeks. The day at last dawned,
and as the boat was to start early, the young
wife determined to be on hand. The clock
struck 8, and still she was in the kitchen,hail'
down her back,packing edibles in the basket.
‘ . “Hurry up,” said John, her young hug-
band. -
‘.“I'll be ready presently," and away she
darted to blacken her shees and put on a clean
collar. Then she stuck her head out of the
window to ask her next door neighbor to lend
her a breastpin. ,
- “Hurry up, John," said she. “You bring
the basket, now I’m ready and am going
down to the boat, and say, John, don't for-
get a box of sardines you’ll find in the closet,
and bring the pickles and tongue, and be
sure and bringa big knife. Do you hear me,
John ?” ‘
John reeled into the kitchen and began his
work. He was interrupted by his wife’s
voice from below, yelling:
“John, there’s a can 'of strawberries in the
. ice-box, don't forget them. Now hurry. “’0'“
be fearfully late; and say, bring one or two
more handkerchiefs and a sun umbrella—or
I don’t know, it looks like rain, bring my
waterproof. Oh, you old poke, you're going
to stay there all day. Now run back and
close these back shutters, and put the cat in
the kitchen, and leave a. pan of milk for her;
and say, just step around to the butcher's
and tell him we won’t need any meal. to-day,
and put the key of the cellar under the par-
lor door-mat. Now hurry, John, I’m off.
And don’t forget anything or I’ll go wild!”
He didn’t forget anything, but when he
reached the wharf he found the boat had been
gone two hours—New York Express.
What John Said.
Rev. Mr. Collins, of Illinois, had much
difficulty in getting his salary from the
church over which he presided. Still hav-
ing been sent to church, he could not con—-
seientiously leave it, and so he struggled and
starved. It was Sunday morning, and the
preacher, just before going to church, told
Peter, who did chores for him, to go down
to John Buhler's butcher shop and bring
up some beefsteak for dinner. In the course
of half an hour the negro started on his
errand, but upon requesting three pounds of
meat from the butcher, he was peremptorily
refused.
“Your master can have no more out of
my shop till he pays me about twelve dol-
lars that he owes me,” said the vendor.
The negro was sorely disappointed: and
started homeward. On his way back he
concluded to drop into his master’s church.
He had never heard Mr. Collins preach,
and then there was a possibility he might
have a chance to speak to the minister about
the meat. ’80 he slipped almost unobserv-
ed into the church, and took a seat in the
corner.
Brother Collins was preaching at the time.
He was referring to various scriptural ou-
thors to confirm his views. Pretty soon
he raised his eyes, and, looking in the direc—
tion of Pete (though doubtless he did not see
him (he said:
“Now, what does John say? What does
John say ?”
Up jumped Pete instantcr, and exclaimed:
“John says dat you can’t hab no more meat
till you pay him dat money wot you owe
him.” -
Imagine the consternation of preacher and
congregation at these words. All eyes were
directed at the negro. He could not at all
understand why he should be the subject of
so much attention for answering a simple
question.
The dominie sat down for a moment, he
was so confused, but quickly arose and
remarked: '
“Brethren, what that poor negro said about
my indebtedness when be interrupted my
discourse is entirely true. I have found it
impossible to support my family on my sala'
ry, even with the closest economy, without
going into debt,” and the old man’s eyes
appeared ready to sufluse with tears.
The church service was closed premature-
ly, and thereafter the~minister, elders, and
many leading members had a conversation.
A general meeting was resolved on, to be
held enWednesday evening, and there it was
decided to raise the minister’s salary two
hundred dollars.
So the butcher's and other bills were soon
paid, and Pete was presented with a new
winter overcoat for raising the minister’s
salary even in his peculiar style.

She Didn’t.
It was plain enough to all other passengers
on the ferryboat that the two were in love
and engaged,yet the girl seemed to doubt his
fervor, just a little. Thereforc,'as the boat
reached midstream she leaned over and ten—
derly said: _
“Johnnie, I am going to test your love. _I
am going to jump overboard,and if you really
love me I know you‘ll jump after me and save
me." ’
“Yes, I’ll jump after you", he slowly re-
plied, “but, but——"
“But what, Johnnie ?"
But if I were you I’d take off the shoes
first. Just the minute they haul you out of
the water every woman in this crowd will
rush to see whether you wear No. 2’s or No.
5’s, and if you are in your stocking feet they ‘
can’tget the size.” '
The girl drew her feet under the chair,
sighed once or twice and did not regain her
old enthusiasm until the boy came along with
peanuts.

The lessees of the California Theatre have
offered a clear matinee benfit and two re-
served seats in the galler'y,says the San Fran-
cisco Post, for the suppression of the follow-
ing incident which occurred at their estab-
lishment lately. '
' The play was Othello, and as Mr. Barrett
was making his first exit from the stage in
the first act, a fearful looking desperado, en-
veloped in bandit black cloak,with ahigh hat
slouehed over his sinister eyes, and clutching
a fearful dagger in his hand, stole upon the
stage from the wings,and followed the trag'él
dian off in the most approved assassin style.
As the tragedian turned to approach the foot-
lights again he came face to face with the
intruder,who was stealthily gritting his teeth
and brandishing his knife in a manner alarm-
ing to behold. . . .
“What are you doing here ‘3" thundered
the astounded actor.
“Why, the same as you—acting,” said the
mysterious stranger.
“Blue lights and caleiums,” gasped the
star, “is the man crazy ? Is this an escaped
lunatic ?,’
“Lunatic yourself P I’m hired to dothis by
the manager. Why don’t you go on with
your part and let me alone ?”
“Ring down the curtain, somebody,aud call
for the guard.” -
“What the mischief is all this about r" in-
quired Mr. Hall, rushing on the stage as the
curtain fell. “What are you doing here,
sir ?”
“Doing here? Why, didn’t you engage
me for this piece? Wasn’t Ito make up
like a—-conspirator and follow the principal
character around on tiptoe ? Why here’s my
engagement." and he pulled out a written
paper.
“Why, you numbskull, that wasn’t for this
play. That is for the burlesque—next month.
You’re away ahead of time.”
, “Great gosh !” ejaculated the crushed supc,
“so I am for a fact.”
