It is the thir I largest church in Europe (St. Peter’s at Rome and the, cathedral at Seville alone out-rank ing it in size), holding as many as 40,000 people readily, and having same 30,000 statues and bassori- j lievos for the adornment of the majestic pile. Besides, it is, from jan architectural point of view, the I grandest and most imposing Goth j ic church now in existence. With its large gilded dome it is 220 feel high with a '360-foot tower, and 1470 feet long. From the outside to the tower 300 steps lead up,and from there 195 steps on the inside up to the highest gallery. The pertection of the pointed Gothic style is seen in the perspective ol the immense naye and its well- proportioned aisles, and the bauti ful stained glass windows (the largest in the world); while the grandeur of the interior is further enhanced by its 52 supporting pil lars, each thirteen text in diameter, just think of it! “It is only from, the roots that any correct idea can be formed of tho exterior decora tions, of the fretwoiks, carvings, sculptures, pinnacles, and marvel lous detail of this elaborate and uncertain and doubtful about what charge is 40 francs or #8, As we he has heard.

Our first visit took us to the Piazza della Scala with the monu ment to that wonderful genius Leonardo da Vinci in the middle, and the Teatro della Seala (con sidered “a passport to fame and a prized cachet of merit”) on th one hand and the Palazzo Marino (a most majestic palace with fine court surrounded by beautiful por. ticos) on the other.

The Church of St. Ambrogio (dedicated to the Pation Sa nt of Milan, St. Ambrose) from its nn tiquity no less than its Roman esque style proved very interest ing to us. It was consecrated by St. Ambrogic himself in 387, and is his final resting place as well. It has in it. much of ancient Roman remains, very old sarcophagi, and many paintings in its chapels by artists ol wide celebrity. It is the oldest church in Milan, built on the ruins of a Bacchus Temple. is surpassingly beautiful, when we saw it, rich in its fresh spring dress,full ol Swiss cottages, winding ways, many inline s, herds of cattle, deep vales, high moun tains, here you see snow-caps and water-tails, and a large part of the time we were in view of the great northern Italian Lakes Como, I Lugano, Maggiore.

From this roof or series of roofs, after laborious climbing, we enjoyed a fine outlook on the city and an exquisite panoramic view of Mt. Viso, Mt. Cenis, Mt. Blanc, the St. Bernard, Cervino, Mt. Rosa, Simplon, St. Gothard, Jung frau, Splugen, with the interven ing plains. Just over the great triple door ways of the Cathedral of Milan are seen three notable inscriptions spanning its splendid arches. Over one is sculptured a wreath of roses with the words beneath it—“All that which pleases is but for a moment.” Over another is carved a cross and the words—“All that which troubles us is but for a mo ment."

('In be continued.) Sometimes sample copies of Tun Niswh are mailed to persons who are not subscribers ol’this paper. Of course this is an invitation to subscribe; and we take this method of letting people unacquainted with Tilts Nkwh read a few copies in order to determine if they wish to I income permanent readers. Every sample eopy of Tun Niswh mailed lias the words, “Sample Copy” printed at the top of first page in bold type. No person is expected to or can lie made to pay for sample copies of a newspaper. Therefore, any person may, with per fect propriety and freedom, receive from a postoflice or carrier sample copies of Tun Niswh, with the assurance that they will never be asked to pay for them. Tins Niswh trusts all persons receiving sample copies will give them careful consideration. It is unfair to condemn Tins Niswh without a hearing (or, a reading) and we feel sure but very few people in Coweta county are so narrow-minded and prejudiced ns to be unwilling to read a few sample copies of this paper. Tins Niswh seeks patronage on ils merits as a newspaper, ft neither panders to prejudice nor bows to puerility.• It neither fears to approve right nor to condemn wrong. It proposes to meet all men and all issues in a spirit o*' candor, fairness and courtesy; but it does not propose lo be a trimmer or a dodger, nor to veil its attitude on any question with a multitude of idle words. Tins Niswh hits straight from the shoulder and ex presses its sentiments in the plainest English at its command. These are a few words in reference to the principles con trolling the conduct of Tins Niswh. In addition to these things, This Niswh prints the news of Coweta county with impartiality; and as it desires to excell shall endeavor as the days go by to print more news than any other county paper and to give the people the best service ob tainable in a county paper. This we regard as a laudable ambition; anil have no apol ogies to make for possessing that spirit or being guided by its inspiration. Finally, all This Niswh asks is that persons who receive sample copies will examine them in a spirit of fairness, and render an unprejudiced verdict as to this paper’s merits and its claims for patronage. Jf all will do this, This Niswh will !>e satis fied with their verdict, whether it is favorable or unfavorable to this paper. iV vs lor Job Printing.
