Mif-ax, Italy, August 15.???The journey from
Paris to Turin is made in twenty-two hours,
and the distance is something over live hun
dred miles. In regard to speed, I find nothing
to complain of. But certainly an American
can never lx- reconciled to the prison-boxes
into which the traveler is placed. When the
compartment is full, there is as little comfort
ns in the old-fashioned stage coach of Amer
ica. Eight passenger* in a hex, four on n side,
facing each other, com]M.'la one-half to ride
backwards, which many Kurojcans prefer,
however, as it saves them from much of the
just. I left Paris at night, at 8:40, and hence
saw nothing of Hhc country to the southeast
of the city until we reached Dijon,at 5o'clock
in the morning. All the so-called sleeping
apartments had been ???reserved," hut I would
????ot have purchased for forty-five francs.nearly
nine dollars, the privilege of sleeping on an
uncomfortable sofa one night. The celebrated
peach-growing country which supplies l'aris
with that excellent fruit, and of very good
quality, I did not see. The trees, 1 am told,
are grown against the side of a wall, the
branches being fastened to it, and thus the
tree is flattened nut like a fan. The advantage
is very great, however, in economizing space,
a matter which the French understand to per
fection. Bussing on to Macon, we deflected
from the direct route to Lyons, and went
through B<Mirg to C'uloz, where I got a much'
needed breakfast at 10 o???clock in the day. By
the Aix les Bains, on the Luc du Bourgct, a
watering place which received nearly half of
our company, we reached Modane, the bust
station on French soil, and the custom house
for Italy. Here we were put through the
usual Imggngc examination, which is doubtless
indispensable in the presenj state of jxilitical
???science, hut is by no means an agreeable ex-
??? pcrience. To have the dirty fingers of an of
ficer rummaging through the fine linen of a
Judy???s Saratoga, ns I saw it dime at Modunc,
must be very trying to the fair sex. I
???watched the faces of several ladies who stood
by, looking at the uiisettingof their dry goods
and the shoving hack, pell moll, of everythin,
taken out. Their countenances were by no
means benevolent at that moment, hut as they
were powerless, mid words could not meet the
occasion, they were wisely silent. 1 had a
small portmanteau, of 28 pounds weight, and
had the forethought to put thosenrtieles that
needed washing on top. The officer made a
few digs with his lingers, and when I told
him I was an American, he lowed politely
uinl closed the valise, with the customary
mark of approval. A priest standing near me
was very kind in assisting a lady to take tl??e
??? trays out of her trunk, and handled the
dresses with as much skill and tenderness as a
lady???s maid. But every one did not meet
with such aid.
We had passed two tunnels before we reach
si Modauc, and I expected ???each of them in
urn to he the celebrated Mount fen is, hut at
ris station I saw a cautionary notice to trav
???rs, printed in French and Italian. This
formed me that the tunnel was culled Fre-
s, as it does not really touch Mount Cenis,
hieh is .sonic miles away. We were soon in
motion, and as we entered the tunnel,
ok note of the time. The windows of our
.inch were put up to exclude the smoke, and
>r the space of 32 minutes, a little more than
nlfnn hour, we were 3,500 feet underground.

???r be excelled. In passing through we

re, was in no place as high as a man???s head,
ist of it was in the tassel at knee high, and
* 'v many fields were wholly hunted up. It is
bread of the jvmr in these countries, and
must be a disaster to them. Covered with

a looking-glass in Turin, that
most Intimate friend would not have
???n me, for I could scarcely recognize my
face! At the Italian side*??? as we began to
it, one after another, we passed electric
s that Hashed through our windows like
ling strokes of lightning. I notice, by
vay, an exceedingly useful custom on all
tese railroads. At every station you hear
Ttusu* of a small electric bell. It is the
n that the track is all clear ahead of you,
n case of any accident, or obstruction, the
cut is lirokcitin a moment, and the bell
linously silent. 1 should like to see this
lavement adopted in America. It gives
traveler as comfortable a feeling as if he

ore we reached the tunnel, the grand
rips came into view, some of them still
nod with their diadems of snow. But,
tlont Blanc, they were afar off. Now, on
taiian side, they were all around us.

and I had/ a few hours in the morning
???to take a view of the city after writing my
letters, and I improved the time as much as
Hjssible. But I did not remain long in
Turin. Italian life, in its best phases, is to
be seen here, hut the city Las declined in im

nevertheless terminated in a patriotic man

preserve his memory as long as site exists as a
nation.
Leaving Turin by what we would call an ac

nearly six hours to Milan, the distance 1 icing
only eighty-four miles. ??? At every station the

ings, and filing, and marching almut the altar,
and burning of incense, the smoke of which
rose up to the ceiling, and the odor reached
my olfactories, and left the impression of its
being otherwise than fragrant.
After tliis, in single file, the bishops disap
peared for a few moments, and came out again
in a kind of niche which forms one of the two
pulpits fronting the center of the cathedral.
Here lessons were read again, and the
procession returned to the altar, by
the way they came. After march
ing about for some minutes, they suddenly
became seated, and a sharp, dear-toned voice
rang from a gilded perch cal let 1 a pulpit.nearly
over my head. This.it seems,was the preacher
for the day. He wore a kind of cap, whose
name I cannot recall at this moment, but not
unlike a smoking cap, or a Turk???s fez in ap
pearance. Bronounring the name of the
Savior, he doffed liia cap and held it in his
hands a few minutes, then replaced it on his
head and l*egan his sermon. His voice was
exceedingly pleasant, a little high in its key,
but his words were spoken with such distinet-

the slow rate of speed enabled me to see the! ?? CS!i , V ltl * J listened to him with delight,
country to advantage. I found thousands of Speaking slowly, enunciating^ elearly, I was
able to understand what he said. There was
very little of action in his manner. The
beautiful Italian speech flowed from his
tongue with captivating mellowness. Now
and then his voice rose to animation, and his
gestures were appropriate and graceful. A ser
mon it could not he called. lie told us that
it was a great error to suppose that one relig
ion was as goo/1 as auother;??thut there was
only one true religion, the Catholic, Apostolic
and Homan. The words were spoken, its in
deed the whole speech, as if it was written
previously and not extemporaneous. Cer
tainly the first part of his discourse was suffi
ciently familiar to his hearers, as it forms tile
principal stock in trade of the Roman pulpit.
Having closed this exordium, he was good
enough to tell us that the Divine Father had
more respect to deeds titan to words???and to
profess a religion was not enough; one must
/factice its precepts. There were many men,
te told us,who thoughtof nothing but making
money and lieaping up riches, caring nothing
for the poor, whether they starved or fed upon
linsks. This was not Christianity, nor did the
Divine Redeemer look with complacency
upon such professed Christians. Having pro
nounced the Divine name, he crossed himself
rapidly and sat down. I thought the talking
was over and turned to the altar to see what
the next thiftg to be done. But the

is. We reached Turin at 6:35, and
acres of rice growing by the roadside???some of
it nearly ready to reap and some receiving its
lust overflow. This whole territory is full of
historical interest. The Cavour canal, a work
of art inferior to none of its kind, jierpetuates
the memory of that statesman. It passes over
a river by an acqucduct 2,500 yards long, and
under four rivers by means of syphon-tunnels
formed of masonry. When I speak of rivers,
it must lie understood that I am using the
language of the country, but an American
must remember that the Thames, Seine,
Rhone anti the Bo are not so large as the
smaller North American streams. Neither are
these waters so beautiful in appearance.
The rains, when they fall here, muddy
them into the semblance of cream or
an inferior quality of skimmed milk. The
day was very fine and the group of Monte
Rosa mountains was very beautiful. 1 re
gretted much that for lack???of time I was oom-
icllcd to hurry past many places that would
lave well repaid a visit. Among these was
Norara, near which city the Austrian general
Rudctsky defeated the Piedmont army in
1849, and caused the abdication of Carlo Al-
berto. Continuing my journey we passed the
battle field of Magenta, where Marshal Mae-
M a lion won bis dukedom. About sunset I
reached Milan.
The principal object in making a stop at
this place was to make a visit to the celebrated
cathedral. The city is also of perpetual In
terest from a historical point of view. It was
here that Constantine the Great in A. D. 313,
issued the deeree for the toleration of Chris
tianity, afterward followed in A. D. 325 by a
iroclumation which made the Christian re-
igion the CVee/I of the empire. Whatever
may lie thought of the union of the church
anil the state, this Milan decree stopped the
bloody persecution of the Christians???to be
followed, alas! by the persecution of so-called
Christians against the dissenters from ortho
doxy, an<l "our mother,??? Rome!
Tlie city of Milan has a population of 270,-
000 inhabitants. Tlie first public edifice which
1 visited was the grand gallery of Victor
Emmanuel. It is an immense bazaar, formed
in the shape of a Latin cross, roofed with
glass, and cost $1,500,000. The oetagon in the
center is crowned by a cupola JS0 feet high,
and is adorned by handsome freseoosand stat
ues. Among these last, I was pleased to find
our own Washington on the side representin'
America, and Volta, the electrician, with
his voltaic pile. The gallery is now
lighted by electricity and in the
evening the cream of Milanese society
meets there to drink beer, wine, coffee and
mineral waters. My guide informed me that
tlie architect of this structure was killed by a
fail from the scaffold just before its comple
tion. The municipal government iiad bound
him by a forfeit to complete the work by a
given time, with a penalty of fifty pounds per
diem if he failed. He was four months be
hind time, and being in financial embarrass
ment otherwise, tlie splundid building was
about to bankrupt him. Ascending tlie seaf-
/old one day he told a companion that he
would be down in a few minutes. In a short
time he came down, indeed, but ojily as a
mangled corpse, fulling from a height of 180
feet to tlie marble pavement below. His fall,
it is believed, was not accidental,but designed.
His widow was granted a gift of twenty thou
sand francs and an annuity for life???and his
estate relieved of the forfeit. It is a sad story
and I give it as related to me by the guide in
a mixture of English and Italian. I have no
printoil authority for the story, but if true,
what a sad commentary u]>on it city council
that w.uld urge a man of genius to self-
destruction. for the paltry pnrpose of gaining
a few weeks in tlie construction of a work of
art destined to embellish the city for all time.
Near to this grand gallery is the cathedral
of Milan. I have seen splendid pictures of
this structure, in almost every species of art,
painting, chromo, and engraving, but no pic
ture can do it justice. It is worth a voyaj
across the Atlantic to see this cathedral. It is
in epic poem in marble???a world of wonders
underneath a forest of spires. It is in tlie
form of a Latin cross, its extreme length 486
feet???breadth .???551 feet, and, from the pave
ment to the statue of the Virgin Mary on the
top is 355 feet. The largest nave is 164 feet in
height. There are nearly 3,590 statues in the
building, tlie work of an*army of sculptors,
running hack for nearly five centuries. It
was begun under the auspices of the duke of
Milan, in 1386. Remorse for the murder of
his uncle nndjeousins, is said to have prompt
ed him to tlie work of building a church des
tined to he one of tlie wonders of tlie world.
He gave the marble from liis own estates, _
and chose a German for his architect, Henry ??? I
of Graunden. The Italians were not skilled
in tlie pointed style of architecture which lie
selected, and lienee a German architect. The
???onstruction advanced slowly, however, and
is not finished even now, for a part of it con
tains an immense scaffold for tilling in the
tuined glass of the windows on one side, and
there is room for 1,500 statues more, making
5.000 in all. Tlie church covers an area ot
108.000 square feet, and lias never been tilled
by an audience but once, and then under its
roof 60,000 people stood to hear the proclama
tion of "United Italy!??? There are 52 fluted
columns of marble, octagonal in shape, 72
feet high, and 24 feet in circumference. These
52columns divide the building intofive naves,
and it is a matter of hours to make the cir
cuit of the interior, even when giving only a
passing glance at each object of interest.
This cursory view I took on Sunday morn
ing just before the time for the regular ser
vice. Desiring to obtain an intelligent con-
cption of the proceedings in a cathedral of
so much note, 1 requested my guide to con
duct me to the most favorable point for seeing
and hearing. Just before 11 o???clock, he con
ducted me to the choir, in front of the great
altar, and in a few yards of the performing
priests. Within this railing in the choir, on
seats not remarkable for looks or comfort,
there were seated about one hundred
persons, whilst two or three thousand
were coming and going all tlie time I was
there. A number of men with a species of
uniform were employed in furnishing very
common rush-bottomed chairs to visitors and
woreliippers, for which service. I noted, a
penny or two was paid. The service of the
morning began by a speeics of eliant, or inton
ing. behind the high-altar, in a sing-song
tone that was neither musical nor intelligible.
Not a soul could tell what was said or sung
unless lie knew it beforehand. Nor did any
considerable number pay attention to it. Af
ter this bad continued some time a sudden
burst of musical sound, consisting of half a
dozen notes came from a great organ in front
of me, and was answered by tlie intoning
priests behind the altar. Then a few notes
from another great organ over my head was
followed by a similar response. Then three
bisho|ts made their appearance, in crimson
robes, and acolytes in white, with bunting
tapers. Each one made a bend of tlie knee
before the crucifix on the altar, in the most
S erfunetory way I ever saw any one kneel
own. Then a bishop ascended the steps of
the altar, whilst a lad held a taper, and read
something, only a few verses out of the Gos
pels, I suppose, as I caught only two or three
bishops and priests sat perfectly still, and I
verily believe one of the mitred gentlemen
was asleep, for I saw him nodding and stretch
ing himself; then came a sudden movement
as if lie had caught himself napping, and lie
resumed the attitude of attention. Whether
the bishop was asleep or not, there were over
fifty of the audience inside tlie railing in that
refreshing state, and some of them were gently
snoring not far from where I sat. The preacher
rose ugain, however, and recommenced his
discourse. He said there were some stupid
souls that never concerned themselves about
religion???and only thoughtof making money
???antil they were sick or at death???s door.
Then they were in a hurry to send for a priest,
and were very particular to be thought pious
people. He denounced these ???stupid??? sinners
with great earnestness, and advised them to
begin at once by helping the orphan and tlie
widow???relieving the necessities of all that
were in distress, many of whom were their
near neighbors. After a long exhortation to
this effect, lie said that this would be the best
method of proving their religion and recom
mending them to the mercy of tlie Redeemer.
Having pronounced this name, he again
Vapidly made the sign of the cross anil sat
down. Here I thought tlie sermon must be
ended, for lie had been talking nearly half an
hour; but not so. Replacing the cap on his
head, lie arose again, and delivered the
peroration. Tills was of a practical character,
indeed, and so convinced were the collectors
of this fact, that lie had not spoken a dozen
words before tlie long-handled pockets began
t?? circulate through the audience. I narrowly
watched these bags as they traveled through
the assembly, anil I found that those who
crossed themselves most devoutly on entering
the place, allowed the purses to ]>ass without
giving a solitary penny for the poor widows and
orphans for whom the preacher was pleading.
Tlie silver that went into the pluses was mostly
from theVrotestant hearers, who, like myself,
conhl agree, if tiiey understood him,with litany
of tlie sentiments of the preacher. I thought,
however, that there was a singular inconsist
ency in one of the preacher???s illustrations. He
told us of one of the early saints who sold all
that he hail and gave the money to the poor.
This example he commended, but I do not
think the rich canons of the cathedral relished
this doctrine. Certainly they de not practice
it. Near the cathedral is an immense
buildilYg, the lower story entirely formed of
siiops and stores. This house stands on an old
cemetery, which these fathers have occupied
with improvements that yield twenty of them
the handsome sum of 83,600 a year each.
These canons perform no other function, my
guide tells tne, but the reading of a few lesson's
on tlie Sabbath. When one of them dies, a
brother???s son, though lie may not have been a
priest, immediately becomes a canon, and
draws tliis salary for life. It is an office,
hence, which is never vacant for a single
month, anil the number is restricted to
twenty. These items the guide gave me???
whether they are authentic I cannot tell. But,
be it as it may, the purses were not full that
day, and copper coins comprised most of the
gifts, even from those who were well-dressed,
and seemed to be in comfortable circum
stances.
At last the preacher made an end, anil
having listened to him forty minutes, and to
tiie other proceedings as many more,
followed tlie example of some of
my Catholic neighbors, and quietly re
tired. As I withdrew I observed that tlie
preacher???s andienee in the center of the cathc
dral hail scattered, and perhaps two thousand
people were coming and going into all parts of
tlie building. Sitting in an elevated position,
so that I could look over the audience, I am
satisfied that not above two hundred persons
paid any attention to the sermon. Among
these tliere were at least a hundred Protestants,
:ind of the remainder scarcely a score seemed
to belong to the wealthy and intelligent pop
ulation of the city. I did not see a dozen
ladies who, tv their dress and manners, seem
ed to belong to the middle or upper classes in
society. There is a volume in this fact.
That night, in the grand gallery, there were
six or seven thousand people, and, beyond
doubt, they belonged to -the ???upper ten??? of
Milan. Not a beautiful woman???positively
not one, did I see among tlie worsluppers in
the cathedral, bat many, very many, sipping
cool waters and pleasant drinks in the grand
gallery. Another observation: I have been
now as long on the continent, as I was in
England. Here I have not seen a human be
ing under the influence of intoxicating
drinks; in England, the last scene I wit
nessed ill leaving London was a drunken wo
man, with bleeding mouth and bloodshot eyes
being carried by policemen to prison! Ac
count for it as we may, this is the truth as I
have seen it, and I think every traveler in
Europe will indorse my statement. Never
have I 'seen sucii perfect order???such uniform

THE TREES AND THE MASTER.
Into the woods my Master went.
Clean forspent, forspent.
Into the woeds my Master came.
Forspent with love and shame.
But the olives they were not blind to Him,
The little gray leaves were kind to Him;
The thorn-tree had a mind to Him
When into the woods He came.
Out of the woods my Master went.
And He was well content.
Out of the woods my Master came,
Content with death and shame.
When Death and 8hame would woo him last,
From under the trees they drew Him last;
???Twas on a tree they slew him???last
When out of the woods he came.
