The guards would hardly look at our
tickets, and passed us through tbe
parlor. Promptly on time, the train
drew out of the Ptai ion. Leaving the
city, we piss along the old city, wails.
In the di.-tance, to the Itf r , are the
Aibiot) LiiUs. For miles we follow
along the old Appian way, over which
Paul walked as a prisoner. Some
lx miles from Rome, nestled under
the kiii*, is fair Tivoli, with Ha
drian’s Villa near by, »nd i r s back
ground is a beautiful round topped
hiii, covered with green olive groves,
Turning, to look back out of the ettr
window, one of the views of a lifetime
g ts tbe. eye. The train sweeps
around a curve, and Rome, like
great city of while tnarole spreads
itself before the view. In the uis
Lf.nce, the groves of the Vatican, and
“the green hills far away,” seem to
garnish the dome ot Old St. • Peter
fo the kft is Tivoli, aud to the right
is n great, waguifieent, square lower,
all in ruins. On the left, lor mih s, can
e seen a gigautic sequcduct, on itn-
uienso arches, spanning tbe plain. 1
field near at hand, is a new villa,
with barns and wall of yellow, white
and red marble. Close by was an im
mense herd of sheep, with a shepherd
watching Diem. ii«* had led them into
•green pastures and by tbe side of
till waters*/’ Beneath on the Appian
way, ate the old Catacombs, where
early Christians fW to escape their
persecutors. Near by 1 saw a curious
old stone round tower, forty feet
across, ten feet high, with a cone
shaped lop.
Over the kills of Tivoli, and the
whole range ol Albion hills, there
were clouds, sunshine and rainbows.
The day was full of smiles and tears.
Soon we drew near to the bills, and
three villages hanging to the hillside,
met our gazi. Tbe houses arc so close
together that they seem like one build
ing of many angles, shapes and eleva*
tion.s. A stone staircase had been cut
iu the mountain side, teu or twelve
feet wide at first, but wideued in an
outward curve on both sides, till the
top of it seemed to be forty feet wide
uit least.
Soon, we began to pass olive groves,
the first I had seen. Trees were
planted about thirty feet' or more
apart, and were about the siz-
of an apple tree in New England, and
wore very pretty.
Soon, caravans of heavily loaded
donkeys (four or five iu a train), passed
Farther south, there were olive
groves in every shape, and vineyard
on every hand. Twenty miles south
of Roui.-', is a lovely village nestling at
be foot of a hill; back of it is a round
topped hill, surmouuted by a magni
ficent. villa. To the west are meadows,
sparkling lills, olive groves crowning
with green, lovely bills, and vine-
yarls. wilh their leaves turned gold
en-colored by the fall frosts, and
making sharp contrast with the olive
green orchards.
Beyond them all, is the sea with its
waves glistening like silver in the
autumn sun.
Many round {op hills have solitary
tall, square or round towers in ruin,
standing like sentinels on guard, just
where they were posted long centuries
ago. As we-draw near the center of
the country, the hills rls-? iuto moun
tains with thoir tops bare and brown.
Scarcely a tree can be seen on their
brown sides. They seem bald and sere
from old i*£c. Clouds kiss their
tops, and the sunlight lingers long in
their embrace, as if it loved them for
their wrinkles and gray hairs. The
valley below narrows ami widens,
runs straight and then curves, and we
wind around among the mountains,
much as the. tide finds its way among
tbe rocks where it dashes against a
rock-bound shore.
Off to the West, wc pass ^he finest
old city, or village, that one could see.
It completely crowns the whole top of
a high round hilltop. So solid and
dark are its walls, and covefed with
moss and age, that it seera3 only one
wailed hole, one roof, one immense
communistic home. There arc scores
upon scores ol these old stone houses,
with their wails covered with plaster,
and iu the distance, hanging half way
up the hillside, they io:>k just like the
piaster cities in Palestine Park at
Chautauqua. Oue city, - which is
passed, is beautiful. It has many tali
spires, and was once white walled,
but is now black and dark with age.
I have never seen so weird, so unique,
nor so strangely-beautiful a land in my
life. Oft times on one side the brown
mountains, and on the other, the lovll-
cst, richest green fields. They are ell
sowed in drills about one foot wide,
and perfectly level. They look mach
like rice fields. At one place we saw
a peculiar willow, dark and Jong-
grown, to sweep the streets ot Rome.
Altogether too soon tbesnn sank in
the west, and we had one of the lov-
liest Italian sunsets that mortals ever
saw. For au hour the whole western
sky was a glow of varying shades of
yellow, purple, crimson and blue. The
eastern mountains, bare and brewn
and covered with a purple hue, were
in strong contrast with tbe vividly col
ored west, while old mother earth had
a carpet of exquisitely beautiful green,
and all over this carpet were olive and
fir tms, aud a peculiar shaped tree
twenty feet high, with nothing on top
but a head like an open umbrella.
They seemed like gigantic toad stools
or mushrooms. At nightfall fair Lana
began to beam iu the east, and a lull
moon lighted the hill tops as we* drew
luto the city of Naples. To add to our
surprise and obligation, open alight
ing at the station, a regiment of the
King’s Guards were drawn up to re
ceive us and the King’s band In line to
greet us. As we passed through tbe
ranks the baud filled tbe air with ma^
tial music. We Nvero informed that
the municipality of Naples bad fur-
uislied carriages, and in thirty min-
one of the hours when heaven seemed
near, when God Is all Jove and men
leem good.
Wednesday morning the sun came
out bright- and clear /or a beautiful
day. After breakfast tho delegates
drove to the station. Like Rome, Na
ples has but one station, and it is out
side tbe old gates. Ou the road for
nearly a mile, wc pass along tho bay,
and have; a fine view of Vesuvius,
with its cloud ol steam and smoke
-curling about its head. Opposite th«*
hotel on a rocky ledge si tting odt into
the bay, is an old Xoimau castle,
which is now used &s a Marine
Prison. To the left wo pass
a very high buttressed rock, with
military school on the top. Still furtb
er on. we pass another round cornered
cost]**, back of the Royal Palace, and
facing the bay. Between these two
forts, or castles, are loug rows of high,
yellow houses or flats, the upper
stories overlooking llie bay; thebe
were once the residences of the
nobility, but now tenanted by the
lower aud baser sort. On the ground
floors, and in the streets, are trades
people and ^ hucksters. There are
many iDh store**, and any number ol
stores and standi lor the sale of sar
dines. Cripples throng the streets,
and hold up deformed limbs, stand on
crutches, or run after your carriage
for long distances. If they are
women, they will run and bold up a
sickly looking baby and ask for alms.
Sometimes, as in ths station at Rome,
they will curse you if you do not giv
and laugh with each other at what
they said or did, after you pass aloug.
Donkeys, large and small, old and
young, sleek and poor, gentle and
ugly, loaded with packs, or hitched to
carts, throng the streets. I saw one
as fine limbed an auimal as a race
horse. Another flue one was bitched
single on one side of the shaft of
double rig, everything about the car
riage being flrstclass. At the static*,
and at Pompeii, the drivers would
rush with fierce yells after every new
passenger, snapping their whips as ii
about to demolish him. We simply
turned our backs on them, and they
became at once us gentle as ••cooing
doves.” They are after all, good
natured, and once in their carriage,
they delight in (jointing out to one
the locality of all the dead and dying
saints,—and sinners. They take great
pride in showing off, and drive like
Jehu sometimes to advertise that they
have an English or American custom
er. The public begging at Naples, is
disgusting. 1 never saw a negro in
the South beg in the streets; they are
too proud, and too willing to earn
something. But, here it is a proles-
sion. At Pompeii ugly creatures
followed U3, or get before us outside
the old city. The natives turu them
aside with disdain.
Iu Naples, were large herds of
oats, and we were told that they were
led into a building, and milked there
for the people. Even here a kind ot
Neapolitan bagpipe” is used, filled
with water to squeeze some into
the milk before your innocent and un-
uspt cting eyes.
At 9:30 the train wh’.ch had been
artered by us started for the station
on its fifteen miles around the Bay o!
Naples. Vesuvius is fcfiReen mile?
around the shore, but only five miles
across. Poirpeii is across on the op
posite side of the mountain out ot
view. It runs down nearly to tbe Bay,
but is hid from Naples by the “Smok-
g Mountain.” What interested me
greatly on this ride was the great
ocks of black lava lyiug bv the„ side
the track. At places the track
has been cut through the solid lava.
Another very interesting thing wa*
onr first glimpse of oriental houses.
There are hundreds of little, one story
houses, twelve or fifteen feet square,
with fiat roofs, and a little fiat round
dome on the top, covering two-thirds
the roof, and some three or four
feet high in the centre. A door and
small lattice work were the only open
ings. Sometimes there would be a
block of three or four of these to
gether for as many families. One Til
lage hid a great many with domes
larger aud more circular, like a Turk
ish Mosque in appearance. Oct ot
some of these lattice wiudows, and on
top of the houses vegetables were
growing, and in the higher blocks
were gourds, squashes and other
vegetables ripening in the sun. Many
women could be seen standing in the
doorways, or in front of the houses
knitting. In one place an aqueduct
like a road was being built across the.
fields and under the railroad. It was
half a mile long, yet all the material
was being wheeled.In a wheel-barrow.
It took os thirty-five minutes to
reach Pompeii. At tbe station, as be
fore, a company oi Italian soldiers
were drawn up in line to receive us,
while the Royal Band discoursed
martial music. We were escorted to
the dining room, where an elaborate
luncheon was served. Then we start
ed for the city of the dead. Our tick
ets passed us into the ruined city. By
mistake, *1 offered the gnard a teu
franc piece. To my surprise, he re
fused it with thanks. A few steps
brought us to the narrow way nnder
the stone arch, np an incline, on an
old stone pavement worn into ruts
through long usage, forty or fifty feet
through the city wall. At the cross
ings were stone stepping stones for
passengers, as can now be seen in
some American cities. To the right of
the wall are two rooms _ con
taining relics from the Buried
City. At least fifteen or twenty bodies
in different stages ol preservation can
here be seen. In some the crust ol
ashes is very thick ; in others the bone
is as clean as if cleaned today. There
are men with their limbs drawn np in
agony; a man servant with his teeth
shut together in bitterest agony,
and his fists clenched; a negro slave;
of
pans, wel
baked now, a hard boiled egg, figs,'
beans, grain as white and cleau as if
just garnered, and some other things.
We prsfed out into the street again
The first street was Business street- It
was about thirty feet wide, lined tbe
whole length wiih wh-»t are now one-
story, bat were originally two-story
houses, because tbe stairways are often
visible inside. The driveway of the
street, as elsewhere, is about eighteen
iuchcf, or (x»ib*y two feel b* low the
sidewalk, and is curbed on both sides
about twenty feet wide, aud paved
n i b large flu stones of different
and shapes, Use general size being IS
or 20 inches long, and 16 or IS inches
wide. * Tbe sidewafiks are about liv
feet wide, and similar to our own. Some
of the roads ate quite uneven from the
heavy and long continue ! traffi c and
look much as Broadway does after a
.sieain pipe explosion.
*1 hJ other streets are very smooth,
especially the “ Appi&rt Way.” . We
pass numerous wine bake, and buteber
*hops, and the Temple of Jupiter.
We also passed a splendid house (the
house Of Glanctts), which is duplicated

off on each side. Mosaic floods of
small stones laid in cement, with a
fresco of the Virgin and Child, and a
pretty fish-pond in the gardeu. In the
cent* r was a deep well, out of which
we gathered some ferns.
Then came the Civil Forum, some
thing like Trojan*8 in Route, about 100
by COO feet. All through the centre
was a double row of columns
that had evidently supported some sort
of a roof. It was enclostd with side
walls about 20 feet high. At one end
was the law court, and beneath is tire
prison. Iu thi3 prison vault beneath,
tbe prisoners waited for their sentence,
which wa3 delivered to them through
a couple of circular welI-hole3 like
speaking tubes. The judges could not
be seen, but the terrible doom could
be heard. Tbe skeletons of six of the
prisonors were found in this v&alt.
Crossing another fine avenue,
almost exactly like the one I have de
scribed, we were In the Temple of
issus, CO by 100 feet. I a the centre the
Temple, or Holy Piace, is about 20 ieet
square, and 10 or 15 feet high, reached
by broad stone steps. To the right of
the steps, as you ascend them, is a fl it,
black stone, where-the prisoners were
slniu. Ten or fifteen feet in front of
the steps, is the altar where they were
burned. It is eight or teu feet square,
and live feet high. On the left hand,
as you eater, i3 another altar. Op
posite it, is a lile-s'z-d statue of
‘Minerva.” The line drawn from
this statue to the altar opposite, waft
the “Via Vermins,” which separated
the common people from the priests.
colonnade ot columns runs all
around this court inside the wall?.
Iu the Temple ol Jupiter from the
top of the altar steps faciug the Public
Forum, is one ofthe most magnificent
views that the eye of man ever rested
upon. To the front, east, west, north
and south, Pompeii is surrounded by
most magnificent range of mountains;
brown and purple bazo covered them
from base to top, and white cities and
villages could be seen cllngiug to their
sides. Over to the west ihe Biiy of
Genoa gleamed iu the sunshine like a
mirror of silver, dotted with steamprs
and vessels, while beyond the beauti
ful city cf Naples, with its turrets,
castles and many colored palaces and
houses, could be seen. Beyond, on the
left, was white Sorreuto, nestling on
the lower hillside toward the water,
and above it, like an eagle in the
clouds, was another white village
Opposite was C&fttlemane and far out
sea to the right was tbe stat- ly
island of Issicha, plainly seen from
our front hotel steps. To the left, five
miles from Sorrento, is the towering
island of Capri with its beautiful
Blue Grotto,” and steamers sailing
between it and the mainland. At the
back of tbe Temple grand old Vesuvius
towered like a giant, puffing its great
•Meerschaum Pipe” aud blowing its
whiffs lar into tbe air, where they
curled heavenward with the breeze.
The fleecy, white clouds steaming
from its top make hazy-white the
whole mountain side. It is not only a
fitting place for the worship of Jupi
ter, but of God. The ancient Romans
not only had an eye to beauty, but to
the fitness of things. We have many
beautiful ^places in Colorado and
among the Rocky Moantains, a but none
them have the water view of Pom
peii. There are many very beautiful
water views on the Atlantic coast, but
they lark the mountains which sur
round Pompeii; and none of them,
have the magnificent, glorious Titanic,
moking Vesuvius,no? buried Pempeii
with Naples, the sea views, and Ori
ent*! architecture near by.
The Public Forum, which can be
seen from the altar platform of the
Temple of Jupiler, is 800 feet or more
long, 250 or 300 feet wide, is perfectly
level and surrounded by a row of-
circular columns. To the left, near
the altar, is tbe ruined Temple oi
Mercury, and next to that is the old
Senate House. Passing through this
you come to the Temple of Augustus
Caesar, or the Pantheon of Pompeii,
erected by Caesar for sacrifices.
Formerly different gods were placed
all. tbe pedestals around the en
closure, and altars erected for theii
worship.
On Appian Way outside the gate,
looking toward Vesuvius and the bay,
stood a stone sentinal box. Here was
found the faithful Roman soldier who
died at his post. He stood facing
Vesuvius, and most have seen the
flrey flame before it was too late
Outside tbe city walls
we were shown a stranger’s hotel for
belated travellers after the gates were
closed. Opposite Diomedes’ grave is
crematory, where bodies were burn-
in a stone room. In the same en
closure was the receiving vault for
urns containing the ashes of cremated
bodies. Several urns are still to be
reen in tbe vault. Still farther on we
came to the house and gardens of Di
omedes, one of the richest citizens of
Pompeii, mentioned by Bulwer in Thr
Last Days of Pompeii. The floors of
the house are Mosaic, and beneath is
the wine vault, fifteen feet high, as
many feet wide and 100 feet long,
where seventeen bodies were found.
It is probable that the body of Diomedes
was one of them. In the rear of the
house are the gardens and place for
banquets. Coming back we passed
the tombs of the Consuls.
The Department of Pa bile Instruc
tion of Italy arranged for a gennine
excavation. In the house beyond the
Temple of Augustas, workmen com
menced work, where tbe ashes were
four feet deep. In one room only
there a valuable find; several v bronze
pieces, among them a small lamp and
several pieces of fresco. Suddenly, as

lived. B«yond this is the Comic
Theatre, and quarter of a mile beyond
is tbe great amphitheatre. This is in
the unexcarated portion, but has been
literally “dagowt.” It is more beauti
ful iu design than the Collisinm at
Rome, bat not so large or massive.
Below arc the rooms for wild beasts,
The view from these theatres was
simply marvel long.
In the evening at six o’clock, the
authorities gave the delegates and
their families a dinner in an old inn
in a quaint grotto at “New Pompeii.”
A gentleman took me to sec Vesuvius
at night. Wo hail to go through a
concert hall or garden, where a con
cert was going on, and men and wo
men were drinking beer at tables.
Everybody here, except a few Ameri
cans aud English people, drink. Af
ter breakfast the next morning we
started tor the museum. Going and
coming, we passed up and down the
main street, or Broadway, thronged
with people and filled with fine stores.
Crossing at right angles and running
up the hill, were a large number of
lades only eight or ten feet wide, as in
Genoa. We saw many donkeys load
ed with baskets on each side, and ta-
bla-Iikc boards on their backs, filied
with fruits and vegetables. Some of
their harness were of brass, aud the
centre pieces fearfully and wonderful
ly made. We also saw several gaudy
hearses. In Rome men always take
off their hats when funerals pass by.
We also saw many oddly dressed nuns.
We passed Garibaldi’s home, and
llie place where he died and is buried.
It is a beautiful spot, overlooking
Capri and the bay. We also passed
Virgil’s bouse or villa, where lie lived
and entertained his friends and wrote
his books. It is just beyond Garabal-
di’s, and also faces Vesuvius, Capri
and tbe bay. After dinner the dele
gates took carriages and drove to Pac-
totia by the sea, via Naples, and
around and np to tbe high bill back of
the business part of the city, where
wc had a most del ightfal view of the
city, the bay and shipping, smoking
Vesuvius across the bay, Sorrento and
the valley to Pompeii, Capri, and the
.Issachi Island In the Mediterranean
in the distance. Rapturous views,
constantly changing, narrowing,
widening, curbing and glistening in
tbe autumn sun, passed before us iu
one constantly increasing beautiful
scene, with Vesuvius always iu the
front. Presently we turned a curve
in the road to the right, around a sharp
bluff, another to the left, and like a
flash, the sea or bay, to the north' of
Genoa, on the Italian coast, was in
sight, and for a moment overwhelmed
os with Its dnzzling beauty. To the
left, an Hand castle fortress, and red-
jacketed mariners wending their way
to a gondola at the pier, to row to their
quarters. Directly opposite the for
tress, on the cliff, was the historic spot
where Saint Paul landed on his jour-
ney to Rome as a prisoner.
We passed soda-ash, acid aud macca-
roui works, and beard donkeys bray
ing, hand organs playing and lover*
cooing. One of parly had just re
marked how d ! rty the look
ed, when we camo upon the maccaroni
works. We passed a long procession
of finely dressed young Italian met:
and women goiug to the waters; then
a row of factory tenemrot houses, sa
loons, men, women, children, don
keys, and I know not what. \\ e pass
ed through the tunnel, and at the other
end was one of Virgil’s % villas. This
was the same one that we had passed
on-the hill above as we went over the
funnel. Here we struck the shore
drives and parsed hundreds of elegant
carriages jrith liveried drivers, con
veying ladies and gentlcmeu for theii
evening drive?.
Upon returning to the hotel, we find
hat au elegant banquet has l*ccn pre
pared. Tbe Baron and Baronness,
deputies from Paris and Rome, mem
bers ot parliament from London, dele
gates from all parts of Europe beside
tbe delegates to the Congress, were
present. Toa3ts were proposed and
responded to, speeches made, and
good nature prevailed generally. At
11:30 some of the party retired from
the banquet hall, and for an hour
longer, the others indulged in a dance.
We have been treated most courteous
ly, and in tbe morning at S :50 left for
Rome. W. A. Duncan.

England, November ISO!.
In passing from tha romantic scen
ery and associations ol Scotland into
tbe manufacturing districts of Eng
land cue is placed, as It were, among
the brisk and thrifty town3 of our
own America. Leeds is only a dupli
cate of Pittsburg in the time when
Eoftcoai was the only fuel, being
black and grimy. It has a canal and
old-fashioned street railway. The
tram cars are double deckers and are
. hauled by a dummy engine. One of
, the neatest conveyances in the town
was the wagonette, having one-half of
the £i.a: u foot higher than the other
h?.!f, the driver ocrutiying the elevated
portion. The tablets on the boas
exhibiting boar’s heads and other ani
mals, remind one of the England of
two hundred yeara ago, when, as Ma-
caulcy says: “A3 a very small por
tion of the population could read, it
was necessary to use marks which the
mest ignorant could understand.”
The shops were therefore distinguish
ed by painted signs, which gave a gay
and grotesque aspect to the streets.
In traveling from Leeds south
ward, the great coal and manufactur
ing section is traversed. At Sheffield
thousands of smelting and blast fur
naces, forges and coke ovens, filled the
whole sky with darkness and the air
with soot, so that all the wealthy
families have moved away. A!
night it looks like a very bottomless
pit, belching forth fire aud smoke. On
the way to Bedford might be seen lo
comotives painted green or red, with
black trimmings. Such lively colors
made a bright effect as the trains
moved along. It certainly seems to
an American that the English might
greatly improve their passenger rail
way service by tbe introduction of the
American system of common and Pall-
man coaches. Occasionally a dining
^sar is seen. Conversation with the in
telligent men of affairs developed the
tact that it is tbe sentiment of the peo
ple that the prosperity and integrity
of the nation depends almost entirely
upon the middle classes. The lowest
and highest classes are doing nothing
for the improvement of national affairs.
We readied Bedford, famous for its
schools, just in time to witness a por
tion ol the ceremouies of the dedica
tion of a new boys* school by the
Duke of Bedford. The town is bril
liant with red flags and crosses of old
England, mingled with white and
blue flags and streamers.
A.drive about town revealed Bun-
yan’s statue and Banyan’s Memorial
Chapel which Is on the site of tbe old
chapel where Banyan preached. Most
Interesting was it to stand on tbe new
bridge, with iu two memorial tablets,
erected on the very spot where stood
the old bridge, which held tbe old
prison where Bunyan wrote •‘Pil
grim’s Progress.” The river is as
wide as the Mohawk at Amsterdam
and has au esplanade along its bank
Ou one side tbe river overhangs great
trees which are mirrored in the placid
water, while on the other side are line
residences, for Bedford, with its
quaint, ciookcd, narrow business
streets and its overitanging second-
stories, is a wealthy and
beautiful residence city of thirty-
thousand inhabitants. After seeing
from the bridge a gorgeous sunrise it
is no longer a wonder that Bunyan
was inspired here. The morning sun
wasbeautifu’*; it looked like the“Gold-
eu Gates across the River.” A drive
to the village of Elston brought us to
the komeot Bunyan. Tbe upper halt
of the onc-aud-a half-stoiy cottage*
pr<ject about three feet beyond the
lower story, making it the quaintest
town I have ever seen. .The house
where Bunyan wrought as a tinker ift
a. two-roomed story and a half cottage
made after the type of all in tjie town.
In Ireland and Scotland hedges and
stone fences prevail, but in England,
as cue approaches Loudon, wooden
fences are seen to take the place of
hedge rows, while beautiful lawns and
brick hoiiies of modern pattern be
comes common. London is the Lon
don of the guide books.
There are certain things Lh&t must
be seen, such as the Tower, with al»
its rooms of historic interest, its relic*
id armor, its guns and modern imple
ments of war, Westminster Abbey
with it3 tablets, the British Museum,
and the many statues and monuments
about the city. An American feels a'
once at home on the streets of London,
as the American type of face is so com
mon . U is clear to see thftt the Eng
lishman idealizes “War. ” Nelson and
Wellington arc the heroes. St. Paul’s
Cathedral strikes one from tho outside,
os well as the imide, as a meet mag
nificent work of art. In Use interior a
friend could not be 'distinguished at
the opposite side of ibe building. Tbe
aisles, rotundas and everything are ou
a most stupendous scale.. Sir Christo
pher Wren needs only this, and a plain
slab, marking bis last resting place, for
a memorial. A feeling came over me,
in Westminister that the Cathedral and
visitors were choked by the multitude
ot groups, tablets, busts, 6tatnary, etc.
It was oppressive and to me belittled
the whole affair. Even great kings
seemed only common dust; in fact,
Great Britain teaches me more than
any other thing how few great men
there are and ul what perishable mate
rial onr lives are made. There seems
to be a great struggle for immortal
fame and bat few attain it. It ought
to teach os all to do the best we can in
our day and generation and let God care
for the rest. It also teaches one of the
little account onr dost is, and that onr
memorial and history are not
linked to the spot where we lie in
bnrial. Such memorials as churches,
schools, chapels, hospitals and libra
ries make a far greater and more en
during impression.
We encountered a real Dickens
character in tbe old man who, in
cloak of color, pointed out tbe monu
ments in Westminister; tall, slow ol
speech, and of defective expression,
with half closed eyes,he led as around,
pointing out the spot with his extend
ed right hand, the index finger of
which was carved toward the palm.
He repeated each time, as a last word
of sentence, tbe name and title of the
person buried there.
A singular arrangement of
structure is having tbe drawing room
on the second floor while the dining
