Although at Rome and other European capitals, for oné's personal convenience and comfort, it is advisable to do as Home and the other capitals do, one is not bound to it by any necessity of cir- . cumstunces and surroundings. But at Venice it is otherwise. One must do as Venice does or simply exist without moving, or seeing or learning—by which we mean that it is absolutely necessary for every one who wishes to go about the city to use a gondola. Of course one my walk if one chcoses —that is to say, if he prefers the stench. and the crowd, and the heat, and the noise of the narrow lanes, called by courtesy streets, to the swift, easy motion of the gondola; but after one or two walks the visitor gotsasurfeit of Venetian land progression, unless he confines himself to the immediate neigh- borhood of St. Mark’s, and gladly enough» hails the friendly craft with the stool barbed prcw. As a rule it is the best plan to engage a man at so much a day—five francs is not out of the way—and he is entirely at the hirer’s disposition at any time. The Venetian gondoliers are, generally. a civil. honest and intelligent race, and in choosing among them one is not run- ning such a risk as if one were to hire a London cabby on the same principle. Well, nearly twenty years ago we found Ourselves in Venice for the first - time. The city was then under the Austrian dominion, so that we saw it under some- what peculiar circumstances. A physi- cally degenerated people imbued with a great deal of their ancient pride and patriotism, goaded to silent fury by the continual presence and swagger of an invader, who showed himself as aggres- sive and insulting an occupier as he had been a brutal and callous enemy; white uniforms and blue legs everywhere; the harsh gutterals of the Teuton bursting in at every moment, like sullen thun- der, amid the soft, liquid patter of the native Italian. Here the victors—guy, jubilant, supreme; there the van- quished—‘mOrosc, depressed, sullen and scowling; and the gayety which long survived the setting of the sun of Ven- ice had fled under the iron rule of the double headed eagle. The military band played on soft summer nights in the square of St. Mark, but no native wouldbo seen listeningto it; half the curio shops in the Piazetta were shut up; people spoke secretly and moved silently; Austrian officers monopolizod the little tables in front of the Florian, the'Aurora and the Quodri; Austrian soldiers hung out their linen over curi- ously carved balconies which could speak of many a scene of romance and chivalry. and smoked their long pipes in gilded saloons hung with the por- traits of the greatest and noblest naines in Venetian history. One did not live in a dying city,':as is usually the imp: es"- sion produced by Venice, but in a city- that was dead. _ Still we resolved to make the most of the few days at our disposal, and our first duty was to secure‘n good-gondolier for the period of our stay. Beppo was presented to us, and we took him chiefly, I verily believe, for his personal appearance. Visitors with- ’ out number have remarked how much more frequently the noble type of Italian face and figure—that is, the type of the grand old pictures—is found among the lower classes than among the higher. BoppO's was an ideal Italian face—a face that might have pressed the cold lips of Juliet in the lonely Verona tomb; the face we see in those Titians and Tintorettos too often hidden behind curtains in dusky Italian churches- dark, regular featured, oval-shaped, the face of la hero, not of a humble gondo- lier. As he stood poised on the slope. of the gondola behind us. his long hair streaming in the breeze, his limbs work- ing gracefully and harmoniously in the most poetic of motions, he might have posed for a demi-god. Nor were we dis- appointed when wc became better acquainted with the man himself. He was very quiet—sadly quiet, we thought, for he never smiled during our ten days' acquaintance withhim. Hewasrespect- ful without being in the smallest degree servile; and. what was valuable to us, he spoke a little English. and apparently had the history and romance of Venice by heart—not by heart in the orthodox licensed guide style, but thoroughly, as a man who loves his subject. Somer times-as he alluded to some glorious bit of old Venetian lfistory, caches the war of Chioggia, or the deeds of Vittorio Fiscal and ‘larlo Zeno, his. eyes would flash, his based chest heave: he would raise one hand from the car and the fist with fierce energy at the distant white uniforms. suddenly to drop it and shake his head sadly and despondently. This was no well concerted piece of act- ing on his part; he was too consistent in his manner to be showing what he did not feel. Sometimes we came upon him unawares at the traglutto crlund- ing place, apart from his fellow crafts- men. who would be laughing and gesti. culating and playing am under the very noses of the victors, sitting moodily with his head in his hands. his eyes fixed on the rippling water, and, when we addressed him, would start as from a We never wearied of floating gently down the Grand Canal listening to Bippo as be enlarged upon the various buildings we passed on our way. telling us about the Form pduce. popularly known as Desdemonia’s; of the Case Doro; of the Giustiani; of thefalacc' Moceniji, where lived Byron; of the Foscari. with its three hundred and sixty-five windows, then a barrack for the Austrian soldiery; of the magnifi- cent Pesaro; and so under the Bialto Arch to where. now stands the railwa' station. But there was one exquisite little palace whichhad attracted our notice from the very first. and about which Bcppo was always silent. Indeed, after. half-a-dozen trips we found that he never locked at it, and, in spite our drawing his attention to it, and asking him about it, resolutely turned his head toward the opposite side of the canal. At length we . became so importunate that he) answered-us: . > “That palace, gentlemen. is held by the dgreateat pig .‘among the Austrian gas. tilgeolonel of the puny of occupa- ‘ . \~. non. No. gehilemen, do not think‘of landing there. I pray you; there is nothing to be seen in it. Nothing— nothing at all." - One of us sketched the little palace. with its quaint uralfesquo arches and deep balconies, its escutcheons and its under Bcppo's guidance we could get no further. , One evening our gondola came along- side with another man in it. Beppo was ill. and had sent a substitute in his stead. It was a beautiful evening—one of those evenings typically known as Venetain—still. dark, calm. in deep blue sky above absolutely bright with stars. a moon shining so clearly that one seemed able tosee far ‘behind it, the still blackness of the water alone broken by the deep reflection of the lights on shore. "Down the Grand Canal," we said as usual. And the man bent to his our, past the Doge's palace, with its sentinel columns of St. Theodore andSt. Mark; put the hotels, silent and deserted. although it was midsummer; past the palaces, for the most part utilized as barracks, and displaying more than their usual signs of animation. until we came to what we termed “our palace." The upper windows'wero lighted up. but below all was darkness save where the moon shone on the bayonet of the Austrian sentinel. As we upprOached our palace on the return journey we were aware of an unusual scene. A crowd of gondolus was about the steps, and up the little "'0 which ran by the side of the building. filled with men in white uniforms bear- ing lanterns; the entrance was filled with a noisy, gesticuluting crowd; lights fiitted to and fro in the upper windows -—evidently something extraordinary had happened. - We directed our gondolier to steer in and ask the matter. He did so, and hailing a comrade, who was sitting in his boat smoking a cigar. reéeived for an answer: . "The pig of a colonel has been killed. thanks to the saint 1" And so it proved to be, for on the landing at the square a few minutes later, we found the cafes and arcades filled with white coats, who were eagerly and angrily discussing the news. Another extraordinary thing was that we had Beppo no more as gondolier during our visit. Fifteen yam elapmd. Ihad stumbled on my old traveling companion, and we resolved to revisit our love of other days. The long span of years seemed like a dream as we found ourselves again in the presence of the old, over new palaces and churches under the glorious sky we remembered so well. undonce againinagondola. ButVenice had put on another face during this time. The whitecoatshaddissppeared, there was life and gayety; but traces of,the occupation were many and patent in the shape of windows stripped of their iron lattices. of their carvings and their embellishments, of palaces lot out to glass and curiosity dealers.

No one seemed to kuOiv any- thing about him. down the Grand Canal and puma cp- positeonrpalace. It, too, hadchangcd with the times. There were gay own- ings over the balconies, delicate curtains in the windows; the stone well looked much brighter and cleaner, the mooring posts had been repainted,“ at the ' steps floated agondol. manned hymen" In picturesque livery. . Wehadbeentoldth‘ata maninItalyr regard as unwarrantable intrusion, and more especially in the case of a for-eigh- er. So we resolved that after being so long shut out we would try and see the little palace 'which' had so charmed us. Accordingly we steered to the stops; the men in the gondola rose and saluted aswe pulled up alongside. and in an- swer to the inquiry if we might view the in terior of the palace, a gorgeous ofil- ,cial at the entrance answered that the Count Morania, the proprietOr, was out, but he himself would show us over with the greatest pleasure. . We had scarcely penetrated to the first floor when the major domc said: “Ah, hero is my lord i" As he spoke a fine looking man, with iron-gray hair and piercing black eyes, clad in an easy suit of black velvet, cu- tiered. “Beppo !" we said simultaneously under our breath. Nothing could exceed the politeness , and urbanity with which the Count Morani treated us. Lighting a cigar, and offering us each one, he conducted as through apartment after apartment. each furnished and fitted with the most exquisitively luxurious taste. along the corridors opop to fairy-like gardens, out into pleasant balconies overlooking the sunlit waters. and finally into his own snuggery, wherein he bode us rest, and ordered iccs‘to be served up. .We could not help noticing with what - extreme simplicity this little room was fitted up, but this was not so striking us was a picture that hung over the grates. quely carved mantlepiwe.

WhenIhad him on my shoulders we went from top to bottom together, but as my good knife had done its wOrk, it did not hurt him as much as me." Morani said this with a low laugh which made me shudder. We descended into the gloom scarcely penetrutcd'by the rays of the mutem; when we arrived at the bottom he said : “Listen!" ' ,Welistenod'and heard in the dead silence the light tinklo of water. Morani nodded his head-end smiled. saying: . “Capital plucethis. s’vmn might shriek the roof Off his mouth‘bnd no one would hear him.

He was a big man', and I had rather a job to get him through. but he had to go. and out he went with aweight at his feet. You see the drop into the water is not more than three feet, so that he did not make much of a splash. We were glad enough to retrace our steps and get out of this tomb, as well us away from the sickeningly light talk of our heat» about soihcrrible a crime. I don't think we could either of us even shake hands with him before get- ting into our gondola. The palace no longer had a fascination for us during our stay in Venice. and we both agreed . that we preferred Beppo, the gondoller, to Giacomo. Count'Mor'ani.

Anecdotes of his life there remain; oneor two of which run thus: A student had incurred the unsure of the college faculty for some slight offense against the regulations, and Mr. Longfellow was instructed to “ad- monish" him. The professor met the youth the next day in the library and was addressed by him with u ques tion upon some point in French litera- ture. An animated and instructive disquisition followed upon the subject, in course of which the professor forgot hisduty and was turning away, when recollecting himself, he came back with, “ Ah. Iwas near forgetting. The facul- ty voted. last night, that I should ad- monish you for (naming the offense), , and you will consider yourself admon- ished." Another anecdote relates that in one of his French classes a student was, called upon who had evidently made little or ‘no preparation. and was prompted by his classmates very audi- bly. The professor took no notice of this tillthe young man was seated; then he quietly said: “Your recitation re- minds me of the Spanish theatre, where. the prompter performs a more impor- tant pm than thdcctor'.” , ann- vnnr.‘ nun.

At this work, as at horse breaking, the average skill is greatest among the Mex- ican (riders, of whom there is a scatter- ing in every section of cattle country, but the veryfinest riders are usually Americans. These latter, the most con- spicuous planets'in the sky of equita- tion, are very rarely gocd for anything else but fancy riding. The second grade of “lusters” can ride almost any horse just as securely. but lack their ease and finished technique.

The deplorable habit of using mor- phine, not to relieve pain, but for the pleasurable sensations the narcotic pro- duces, seems to be spreading in France, in spite the warning note uttered by medical men, and the terrible conse- quence that must follow upon the use, or rather abuse, of the drug. During the hearing of a caseat Maconrecently, the facts that transpired corroborated the assertion made by doctors as to the alarming tendency which prevails. A chemist residing in that town was pros- ecuted for selling morphine without medical authority to a number of per- sons, among them being the wife ofu doctor, who, quite unknown to her hus- band, consumed it daily, and in large quantities by injecting it‘under the skin. In the course of the trial several physicians came forward to attest that the pernicious habit of morphine injec- tions was spreading greatly—especially among women, to the destruction of their moral and physical health. One of times witnesses—attached to alarge hospital at McCou—afiirmed that more than a dozen of the day nurses were regularly addicted to. the use'of mor- phine. in one shape Or another. and habit had become a second nature. It is. however, in Paris—and especially in the fashionable world of Paris—that, if all we hear be true. morphine causes the most serious havoc to mind and body. V . V remains or run.- YEAR 1804.

A short time ago this fact seems to have dawned upon some ingenious persons, supposed to bathe flower-sellers round the Bank of England. It is certain that the subsequent "balling the market" com- menced with them. The story became circulated that through accident or oversight a quantity of gold had become mixed with the bronze used for coining, and that this had been made into penco' in that year.

Here's an incident of Gen. Robert E Lee that has never been published. Col. Chapman, the special internal revenue officer, was Colonel of Mosby’s regiment. Frequently Mosby was of! making private scoutings, accompanied by only a few trusty men. In such cases he left Col. Chapmanin command; Early in January, in 1865, the Colonel went to Petersburg to see Gerri-Lee about'movingapart of Mosby’s com- mand for the remainder of the lwinter ' down near Kinsale, O'n? thet Potomac River. While the Colonel was talking to Gen. Lee they were interrupted-by the arrival of a special courier.‘"1'lie day was very cold. There had been rain for several days. This day the rain had fallen in torrents. The war was drawing do a close and rations and‘clothing were :very source. The courier was wretch- lediy clad. He had no overeaat. His ' suit was very much- worn and was soak- ing wet, forhb'had ridden many miles thatda inth‘e drenching rain. Gen. Lee -. . 'rto the small wood fire and W,fiiflm'mun take a seat. When he hudtooneluded his errand and was thor- oughly warmed he arose to go. Gen. iLec glanced at him almost furtively, as if he felt that the soldier was ashamed to have his poor attire observed. ' "Are you returning at once to your 'General's ?" inquired Gen. Lee. "Yes, sir," was the response, “if my horse has finished feeding.” 1 “Itis still raining very hard," said Gen. Lee; “have you no rubber coat ?" “ Oh, that don’t matter, General,” was the evasive but brave answer. “Then," says Col. Chapman, “Gen. Lee remained silent a moment, walked to the wall where his rubber coat hung. took it down and gave it to the soldier, who protested in vain against Gen. Lee’s depriving himself. I’ll tell you,"con- tinned Colonel Chapman, “there were many generals in the army who would have risked their lives for their men, but Lee is the only one I saw part with a gum coat on a rainy day in dead win- ter, and that to a private who was not even immediately connected with’Lee’s command. ” M.- -._._.._ ARE WE LOSING 0U]: TEETH? The alternative as to whether man was created or developed can no longer be raised, now that we are exercising the free use of our reason. Man’s den- tition has to be judged from our experi- ences made in the mammalian group. Hénce, first of all, it is a reduced (lenti- tion. True, we do not know the defi- nite stages by which it was attained in man, anymore than we do in the case of the anthropO-morphoids, and all the other apes Of the old world, but we shall not hesitate to maintain that the unces~ tors of man possesses afuller number of teeth, as long as deductions are justi; fled from the observation of facts. Our teeth have decreased in number during the course of our geologico-zoological development; we have lost on either side. above and below, two incisors, two premolars and one molar. By this we transfer ourselves back to those periods from which the jaw of the otoc- you has been preserved. Baume. our eminent odontologist, in a recent work which we have repeatedly referred to, has successfully followed and pointed out cases Of. atavism or reversion in the human jaw, by tracing cases of "surplus" teeth—and certain dental formations met with in the jaws ofa large percentage of cases—back to those portions of the jaw in the animal ances- tors of man which have disappeared in the course of ages. W n’noomn. on BABY. Madame Budersdcrf, the famous singer, who died recently, was once visiting the Crown Princess of Prussia, when the following incident occured: They breakfasted together informally and afterward madam sung several songs of Hendel, who is the princess’ favorite composer, the royal hostess played her accompaniments. The princess then proposed a visit to the nursery. As madame was sitting on the floor. with one child playing with the charms on her watch-chain, another hanging Over her shoulder, and the baby in her arms, the door opened and the Crown Prince walked into the midst of the frolic. The princess arose and introduced her visitor. Madame looked up and, with her ready tact and wit. said : “Your royal highnoss, I must either disregard court etiquette or drop the court baby." The prince bowed courteously, and said with a smile : “Do what you like with etiquette. but regard the baby. " MH— VICTOR HUGO. Victor Hugo draws in sulphuric acid; he lights his pictures with electric light. He deafens, blinds, and bewilders his reader rather than charms or persuades him. Strength carried to such a point as this is a fascination; without seeming totake you captive, it makes you its prisoner; it does not enchant you, but it holds you spellbound. His ideal is the extraordinary, the gigantic. the overwhelming, the incommensurable. His most characteristic words are im- menus, colonel, enormous, huge, monstrous. He finds a way of making even child- nuture extravagant and bizarre. The only thing that seems impossible to him is to be natural. In short, his passion is grandeur, his fault is excess; his dis- tinguishing mark is a kind of Titanic power, with strange dissonances of puerility in its magnificence. Where he is weakest is in measure, taste, and sense of humor; he fails in esprit inthe ‘subtlest sense of the word. Victor Hugo is a gallicized Spaniard, or, rather, he unites all the extremes of South and mum, the Scandinavian and the Aer can. Gaul has less part in him than any other country. And yet, by a oaprice of destiny, he is one of the literary geniuses of France in the nine- teenth century. , A MESSAGE FROM MARS. __ A startling discovery has been re- ported from Italy, tending to the in- ference that the planetary system is in direct communication with the earth. An amateur astronomer of Teramo, in the Abruni, named Pemignani. has ascertained the presence on the face of the planet More of several luminous points of exceeding brilliancy. which shift fromfplace to place with methodical regularity. as if they were controlled by intelligent action. The observer has therefore concluded that the sparks are telegraphic signals sent on speculation by the inhabitants of Mars to their neighbor, the earth. Up to the present the meaning of the signals has not been interpreted, but those interested in the discovery do not despair of finding their clarification, and are now engaged in attempting to answer the astral ”mesa m m It is cowardicotowish to get ridof everything whichever do notlike. Sick-2‘ ness and sorrow only exist to further man's education in this world. They . will not be needed in the future. x;
