Special Correspondence Constitution.
Vemit, August 17, 1^1.???Before bidding
adieu to the cathedral of Milan, I ought to
*-pcak of the view on the roof of the building.
The prim-ilia I tower is 155S feet high, and the
ascent to the roof of the church is made by,
158 ??tej??s. A modern ???lift" would be-a pay
ing institution, beyond a doubt, for these steps
are very high, and it is quite fatiguing to
mount them. When once on the roof, how
ever, the visitor is well paid for his labor. He
finds himself among a perfect forest of spires,
cat-Ii one of which is an exquisite work of art.
Only a portion of the roof can lie seen at one
view. Standing with the back to the tower,
you see a succession of smaller spires, each
one having every side and every angle graced
by a marble figure. From the eaves to the
hummit there arc rows of miniature turrets,
each one of which is crowned by a figure rep
resenting some species of fruit. At a certain
angle of vision seats are lived, from whicii tlie
visitor, taking in the whole field, sees before
him an orchard of marble trees covering seve
ral acres. No two of these figures are alike.
I???very niche, comer, crevice, angle and square
contains a human figure, or the likeness of
Lome object in nature. It is like a town in its
dimensions, with some new object of interest
nt every step. But there is still a higher and
grander point of view. After resting awhile,
you ascend 48(1 steps, and at last come to the
lofty platform, three hundred feet from the
ground. There a panorama of varied beauty
lies In-fore you. The city looks like a compact
mass of stone witii glimmering outlines of
streets???far off the mountains lie in a dreamy
liaze???historic battle fields lift a column or a
pillar here and there to tell the story of the
past,anil the marble forest beneath ypu bears
testimony to human genius. If there be any
building on the earth grander than this I
desire to see it. Yet, this struc
ture has boon severely criticised
fioethc thought the tower was a
blunder, and the front of the building in disa
greeable contrast with the main body. This
latter objection has been regarded as valid,
and it is proposed to change the front so as to
place it in accord. For my own part. 1 see
nothing to condemn, but everything, to ad
mire. One of the most remarkable effects I
noted in the morning service.
Bitting in the chair, elevated a few feet
from the main lloor, whilst looking at the
fctatnc over the principal door, ami at the
arches of the ceiling, the line was shortened,
until the distance seemed not to lie more than
fifty or sixty feet, but when castingthe eye to
the floor, and looking parallel with my chair,
I found that men anil women who were
coming in nt the door appeared scarcely more
than half the natural size. This optical illu-
/???iun was very curious to me, althoagli 1 knew
the cause of it. On the ceiling there were no
objects for comparison, and consequently no
criterion for the measurement of space. On
the floor, it was otherwise, and lienee the
mind was aided in forming a judgment of dis
tance. One would scarcely suppose that four
hundred linear feet of space would furnish
this illustration, hut it certainly does. The
tame law of optics requires painters and en
gravers to plats; the figure of a man, or some
object of well known height, as a unit of
measurement in pictures of buildings.
The theater of l.q Benia, said to be the
largest in Europe except in Naples, l visited
nt>out 10 o'clock in the day before 1 left. The
stage is 150 feet deep, and on it scenes of bat
tles by land anil sea are exhibited. Four
thousand persons may lie seated in its audi-
ertee room. One architectural device was near
to me. It is said that great singers are ex
ceedingly anxious to make their debut in
<q??era at I at Scala. Whether this is wise or
not, may be considered doubtful. My guide
caused me to take a certain position in front,
whilst the guard placed himself on the stage
near the front, thespot, l presume, which the
??????star" would occupy. Then, in a very mod
erate tone, the Italian.sounded a musical note.
From the roof of the stage this note came
4>ack, multiplied a hundredfold in power.
Tho rebound was not likean'ccho, but seemed
to be a species of leverage given to thjj voice.
If there were an appreciable moment of time
between the sound from the lips and the re-
bound from above, the effect would lie un
pleasant, hut it is not so. On making the ex-
perinient myself, it seemed as if the ceiling
caught my voice and threw it forward witii
tenfold more power than 1 could command,
.???speaking from ,such a stage would ho easier
than common conversation, whilsta speaker's
emphatic words would conic with the force of
a thunderbolt from the sky. I say that a de-
l>wt from such a stage may create a false esti
mate of a singer's power, for a very weak
voice here has help that may not be found
elsewhere. This may be a secret of the art
ists, for aught that l know, but l am sure that
the effect is one of a very singular character.
AVhispering galleries are numerous enough
but tins is more than that. If a little of the
labor and genius employed upon music to
give effect and produce impression upon the
masses, had lieen done to aid the preachers of
the gospel, would the world remain in a state
Of spiritual torpor?
every one understands when the subject of ! heard the plash of an oar ahead of tis. At
eating is introduced. My American friend in | the landing place of the hotel a porter met me,
Paris found it so, un(l I have had tlie same ex- an?? I was soon in comfortable quarters,
pericnee. According to my tastes, the Italian
cuisine is better than the French, but the arts
of hotel keepers are pretty much the same all
over tlie globe. Some people get their mon
ey???s wortli at the table and others do not.
Messrs. Cook & Son, of I/ondon. deserve the
thanks of travelers in this behalf. Every
where persons who travel on Cook???s Tourist
tickets, an<l use his hotel coupons, are request
ed to announce the fact on reaching the hotel.
I did this at Milan, as elsewhere, but the clerk
failed to note the fact. I suppose, as I found
my bill made nut, at departure, to be paid in
gold. As it liapjiened, there was very little
difference in the two amounts, but I can read
ily sec how it might have been otherwise.
The bill is now before me, and for the benefit
of any who may come tiiis way, l will give the
items as they are recorded. 1 came on Satur
day afternoon and left five minutes before 1
Monday. Tlie charges are in Italian cur
rency.

30 great palace of tlie arts and sciences
Called tlie Brera, contains a large number of
atatucs ami paintings. Although surfeited
with pictures in Paris, I passed through the
twenty-three rooms of this museum, where
Titian, Rubens, Vandyck, Garofolo, Tinto
retto, Paul Veronese, Bellini, Raphael and
l.eonardo da Vinci, ami many more, are rep
resented by their best works. Critics in art
may bo able to see boantios and splendors in
all the works of ???the old masters.??? To my
eye there is a profusion, not to say excess of
gaudy colors in most of them. They are not
copies of nature as 1 have seen it. Well
enough it may be to paint men and women
in brilliant and vivid colors, but it is only
now and then that nature puts on her holiday
robes, a ltd when she does, I hav
rarely seen them copied by
Imman pencil. All attempts to take her
portrait arc like tlie painter???s work I see in all
these galleries. Here sits a man, or a woman
copying a famous picture. In every instanc
however beautiful the copy may be, it is not
reproduction of tlie original. A man expert i
detecting bank notes that are counterfeit, for
example, would sec striking errors in these
copies of pictures. Side by side, the original
and tlie copy, I could sec sometimes tlie six
teenth of aii inch of difference in angles of the
mouth, changing the expression entirely,
a false tint throwing one portion in relief that
should have been in shadow, and scores of
others, which I need not name. These copy
ing painters would denounce me as an ignor
ant critic, I have no doubt, and l claim no
skill or knowledge of art, in itself, but I am
confident that 1 can tell tilings that vary, from
those that are identical. Take, for example,
Jit-onardo da Vinci???s Last Supper. It has been
more frequently copied than any work of art
in existence. I have seen them ever since I
can remember, and in all forms of art, in
paintings and engravings. When I saw it
near the church of Santa Maria delle Gnizie.
in Milan, there were three copies nearly fin
ished. One of them is nearly as large as the
original. Da Vinci painted it on the wall of
the refectory of the monks, near the church,
beginning it in 14S3. The refectory was used,
by Napoleon???s soldiers as a stable, anil time
and dampness, with bad treatment, have irre
parably injured the picture. Borne of the
faces are sadly marred. But of those that are
distinct, I do not think tliat oncof these copy
ists had caught the right expression. I care
not what others may say, but there on the walls
was I>a Vinci's picture, and before me were
the copies. If I had seen either of the pic
tures on canvas elsewhere, I would have
thought it very fine; but seeing the original
and the copy together, must say that
the new paintings are not good like*
, qi
The stillness of the night produced
sensation of awe. There was something al
most supernatural in tlie very atmosphere.
Out of the lumbering, thundering, rattling,
roaring chaos of the stony streets, and chat
tering multitudes, and railway ears, I was
suddenly transplanted to a spot* in which al
most unbroken silence prevailed. Now and
tiien the murmur of the gondola gliding un
der my window, or tlie shrill voice of tlie
boatman calling a lookout to his fellows on
the watery ways???these sounds, few and far
between, only broke the profound quiet. As
the night wore on, the stillness was less and
less broken, until I felt as if I had been such
dcnly plunged into the depths of a forest at
the midnight hour.
My first night in Venice will remain in
memory aslongas life lasts. Everything so new,
so strange, so wonderful! Tlie past, with its
mighty volumes of human history written in
dark and bloody, or in glorious and brilliant
deeds by stout hands and hearts???that past
which can never come back to this citv
???throned upon her hundred isles"???came back
to me in the recollections of a national life
without precedent or imitation in the annals
of the world.

27 liras 73 centissimo.
In American currency, tlie entire bill was
.28. If to this the dinner for the second
clay had ln-en added, tlie amount would have
been $(1.23 cents, or nearly ??3.12 cents per day.
The omnibus fare, however, is properly no
part of the hill at the hotel, so that the charge
per diem would lie ??2.83 cents. To Messrs.
Cook I had paid 8 shillings six pence per day
for the coupons, so that my actual saving by
this arrangement was the sum of 71 cents per
day. It is proper, to remark, however, that
my ingenious host of the hotel I)??? Augleterre,
in Milan, managed to overcharge me by tiie
amount of one ???dijenner,??? at 1 lira, 50* cen
times. I'hari one cup.of coffee on Saturday
night, breakfast on Sunday morniug, dinner
in the afternoon, and breakfast on Monday.
Only four times was I in tlie dining room,
but I paid for five meals. The amount was
small, however, and I do not know that the
mistake was intentional, although the doubt
is not in favor of ???mine host.??? Another
item, however, is not to lie overlooked. In
tlie hills, ???service??? is paid for by a distinct
charge, but, as a matter of??? fact, you
expected to pay tlie servants
sc^pic amount, on taking leave. A bright
little fellow who was managing ???the lift???
interested me in his attempts to speak Eng
lish, and it was wortli the' franc I gave him to
see tlie grace and agility with which he dotted
his cap and saluted me as I left the hotel.
Bidding adieu to Milan, without finding
time to visit the ???National Exposition,??? I be
gan my journey to Venice a few minutes be
fore one o???elock in the afternoon. On Sun
day night a gentle rain had fallen for some
hours, and all nature was rejoicing in the
much needed blessing. The dust was dis
posed of effectually, and there was just
enough of moisture exhaling from the base of
the mountains to give them what I have call
ed their ???holiday robes.??? The ancient city
of Brescia, war-worn and battered by the
strife of kingdoms and of centuries, is In a ro
mantic situation on the left of tlie railroad.
Here tin: celebrated Chevalier Bayard, the
knight who was ???without fear anil without re
proach,??? accompanied the French army that
captured tiie city in 1512. Here too, the cruel
Austrian general, Haynau, battered walls and
dwellings without mercy in 1349. Once the ri
val of Milan, it is now a place of comparatively
little importance. Every rood of Italian territo
ry- isiiistoric ground, and the intelligent travel
er can never be at a loss for objects of interest
but I Could not tarry anywhere between Mil-
lan and Venice. Antiquities anil statues, and
pictures must all be passed by, at Brescia, Ve
rona and Padua. Cremona, tlie place .cele
brated only for its fiddles, and Berjarno, just
beginning its famous autumnal fair, lay on
either hand; whilst near Brescia 1 saw with
deep interest the battle fields of Louato,
where the great Napoleon gained one of his
first victories over tiie Austrians, and Solfer-
ino, one of the great victories of the last Na
polcon over the same foes. The solitary
promontory, looking like a lofty perch hid
den among the clouds, is Sermioiie, where
Catullus, tlie Roman poet, lived. In full
view is a tall tower, marking the battle field
of Solferino. The town of Deseuzano is situ
ated on the southern shore of Lago di Garda,
and a more enchanting landscape I have never
seen than the one presented on that after
noon. The sun was shining with that tem
pered, mellowed light which often precedes,
and sometimes follows a generous fall of rain.
Turning a corner of the mountains, a beauti
ful lake lay embosomed in lofty peaks, with
castles rising from the water???s edge to airy
nests high up among tlie clouds. Widenin'g
now, and narrowing tiien, as we sped ou our
way, the waters of tiie lake took all tlie colors
of the rainbow, from vivid tints of Vermillion
to the sober, aslien-grey shadows of the hills
upon tlie unruffled surface. Town, villa, lake
mountain and horizon all alike were clothed
in a drapery of beauty which art has never
yet copied.
Halting but a few moments at any point,
we reached a little before sundown the rail
way track from Venice to Trieste, in Austria.
I longed for the first view 1>f world-renowned
Venice, and watched a bunk of clouds gather
ing in tlie west, fearful that the evening sun
light might fail us ??? before the queen of the
Adriatic came in sight. But I had scarcely
time to feel this anxiety for more than a few
minutes, when I saw the domes and towers of
the great city of tlie sea rising up out of the
waters, with every palace and tower bathed in
the rich colors of a summer sunset. And this
was Venice! A treasure arrested by human
art from shifting sands and sluggish* waters???
a city whose power and prowess reads like a
fairy??? tale, or the creation of imagination in
the pages of romance.
A bridge of splendid masonrv, two miles
and a half in length, crosses the lagoons, and
ends at the railroad pier on the Grand canal.
Tlie noise of the hackmcn and tlie cabs, and
the multifarious means of transport in other
cities does not meet the traveler here. Drawn
up in a line at the. quay, arc scores of gon
dolas, robed in sable, steel-prowed, and share
???the one inimitable ???institution??? of Venice.
Gathering my portable baggage I soon
found _ tlie porter of the ???Hotel
Victoria,??? and in less than two minutes
was seated in the gondola, whilst niy port
manteau was lieing delivered to the niessen-
A XVondcrfnl Remedy.
Mr. R. P. Lewis, of East Saginaw, Michigan,
writing to the editor of the Laportc, Indiana,
Argus, says: ???I wisli you would allow me to
ay, over my own signature, a word in behalf
of a remarkable curative agent???Compound
Oxygen. It is not a medicine but a vitalizer,
and its effects are natural, direct and perma
nent. Its use involves no risk or inconveni
ence of any kind. I speak both from observe
tion and experience. I was induced to try it-
by the recommendations of such men as T. S
Arthur and Judge Kelley, and also a personal
friend, and have found it more than was
promised. This wasover six months ago, and
tlie good effects have been permanent. A
gain of fourteen poumls in six weeks was tlie
avoirdupois result, but my general spirits were
lightened up at least a ton. There are three
other men here who have tried the Compound
Oxygen with even more striking results, anil
I am acquainted with the history of each case.
One of them lost his voice last winter, and was
so run down in general health that little hope
was entertained of his recovery. Tlie Oxygen
cured him without change of climate or stop
ping work, and he says lie is as well as ever.
Another, who has worked for years us paving-
teller in a bank, anil was all used up ant! not
expected to live beyond a month or two, took
tlie treatment, and is a hundred per cent bet
ter and recovering rapidly. Another,- who
,???s of consumption, has
tried it and is greatly improved. He tells me
lie would have been dead long ago but for this
remedy. I have no axe to grind in making
this statement, and if you should not publish
it I would lose nothing by the refusal, though
if vou should others might be benefited
which is all the end I have sought to com
pass.??? Any who may desire to investigate
the claims made for this new and natural
remedy, can receive pamphlet, testimonials,
etc., postage free, by addressing Messrs. Stark

ger of the hotel. Night had begun to throw
her deep shadows on the water, and I was
about to fall into reverie, when my ears were
saluted by a stentorian shout of ??????Soldi! Seig-
nor! Soldi!?????? What the fellow meant, I could
not, at tlie moment, divine. But when I saw
the extended cap in his hand. I remembered
that the time had come ???for all the world to
be taxed.??? But I resolved to ???hold the fort,??????
aud the ???soldi??? remained in my pocket. Bag
gage safely aboard, tiie gondolier began his
work, and we moved rapidly up the --grand

comer and cranny, and as we swept under tlie
arch of a bridge and turned our course to
wards the heart of the city, the effect was very
novel. Darting here and there, red and green
lights on tlie prows of the boats, whilst the
black shapes that seemed instinct with life,
gave forth no sound except ilirsoft ripple of
