3 THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION, SEPTEMBER 27, 1881. GLIMPSES OF ITALY. PENNED BY RE%W. P. HARRISON, OF GEORGIA. Cronins th* Grand Old Alp.???Italy aa the Land of Art and Sons???A Sojourn in Milan Leads to a Visit to the Great Cathedral???Some Re flections Upon What Bo Saw, Ztc. Special Correspondence Constitution. 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. ??? he tunnel is between eight and nine miles lig, and is one of the greatest monuments to p genius of our age.. There is no vertical . aft, but the engi'nes employed were worked ' ! ??? th compressed air, and furnished not only ???> power which excavated the earth, hut ltilutcd the shaft with a constant supply of -h air. Working from two sides, "the .Mich and the Italian, nine miles apart, the gines met so exactly that there was not ree inches difference in the bore of the tun 1 at the point of junction. This work can ???r be excelled. In passing through we the heat most oppressively. It had not fed in southern France for many weeks, e Indian corn, which is a staple product 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 t when we entered the tunnel, the heat light the perspiration in abundance, and traveling companions, all Italians, > a sight, to behold when we got back ??? layliglit. I found, when I got 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 i sec* the whole route, or heard the word .* ???d all along the line that "all???s well!??? 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. rising above ]>eak, in fantastic forms, is imagination only can conceive. Hills upon hills, mountains noon mountains, the lofty horizon melted into clouds that their drapery of gauze affectionately id these inonarclis of the skies. Front ???V three and four thousand feet high, ing cascades fell, and broke into ???nils, on the nicks to be gathered again, trown anew from lofty precipices to the order of the railway track. Fantastic found a hath essential to existence. A good night???s rest at the hotel D'Anglais followed, 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 portance sinccit ceased to lie a royal residence. Victor Emmanuel is connrientoratedlin many forms???statues, paintings, and public build ings all bear testimony to the affection of the people for him. Hiswild, unpromising youth ???at least when viewed from tlie stand|>oint of Prince Mettemich it was without promts*??? nevertheless terminated in a patriotic man hood which has placed his name among; the world???s greatest heroes. He was emphatically the creator of a jieople, and united Italy will preserve his memory as long as site exists as a nation. Leaving Turin by what we would call an ac commodation train, I had a tiresome ride of nearly six hours to Milan, the distance 1 icing only eighty-four miles. ??? At every station the train stop???|>cd for any hotly or anything, but wordsof Italian Latin. Then there were bow 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- ST. JACOB'S OIL. 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 sat upon many a peak, and the gather- mils, promising a rang desired rain. l>c- niuster their strength in the hollows vvcnis, forming beautiful lakes far up tountain side. The eve could readily lips in full rig, temples crimsoned by ys of the evening sun. or gigantic masses c human shape with pendant beards of wreath, or dark tinted locks curled by tountain air currents into a thousand of mimic life. It was a sublime pie 1 could not restrain my enthusiasm, al- t the greater part of my companions Hinnd asleep, with rivulets of dirt flow- (in their cheeks. I can no longer lie ed that Italy is the land of poetry and iving among scenes like these 'must i the poetic spirit in any soul that is . To my friends, the natives, who sat me, there were familiar sights, and good to the tired traveler, but for my- to saw these visions of beauty for the te, there was endless deliglit in gazing at. With a good tield glass, which a in Washington loaned me, I could ho objects nearer, hut I preferred the , unassisted eve, as the motion of the ???rfered with the use of the glass. So. hours, we wound our way through five tunnels more, until at last, the tl plains of Sardinia came into view, joked like jKtradise itself, set in an nging frame of mountains???hues a ing, softening, darkening, like soojie???new forms every moment be hind green fields anda "pleasant land??? 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!
