What was once a bold rough r nd uninviting promontory, jutting out into the sea, is now a place that attracts not less than five hundred thousand visitors annu- Eituated in the most beautiful and sheltered spots on all the coast, makes Monte Carlo a great health resort in the winttr and sea bathing place in the summer, but the great attraction is the Casino, which stands on the point; one side faces the mountains; here is a beautiful Hower garden and in it are aloes, palms, lemons and or angetreesand hundreds of rare and beautiful flowers that grow so luxuriantly in this soft mild cli mate, here and there fountains throwing out sprays or solid streams many feet high ; and then comes the bare rough mountains with here and there in small spots a few struggling wild flowers or a gigantic century plant. The front towards the sea is a series of very wide terraces with high cut stone retaining vails capped with a inable railing and here the geraniums and heliotrope are in profusion, and occasional small beds of rare fragrant flowers filling the air with their sweet per fume. On these walks are hundreds of people chatting and listening to the sweet music of one of the best bands in the whole of Europe. At our feet the deep blue sea which looks like one vast sheet of beaten silver under the rays of the full moon. But we mint see the interior of the palace. Entering wejpresented our cards and were given a ticket that gave us entrance to the “cir cle of strangers,” (or none of the inhabitants of the principality are admitted, but here we are in the gambling roo .is. The walls are d* c orated with paintings from the brush of the beat artists, the dra peries art, elegant orienta' d signs, and your feet fairly sms in the soft velvet carpet. H;re are a Dumber of people but my, my. how quiet, save the noise made by th*- handling of the gold and the little niarble as it makes its race around the wheel to bring good luck to a few and bad luck to many.

Twenty one hundred dollars in bright shining gold he stacked on the table the winnings of a few hours, he did not retire until the break of day working on his scheme We insisted on leaving the place but no he would stay a few days longer, The following night there came another km ck on our door, it was Jack but “my my” what a change. He had not only lost all his winnings but four hundred dol lars besides. His scheme like all the others was a failure. The fol lowing morning we left for Genoa. This trip is very pleasant and in teresting. The road runs very close to the sea ; here we see a high and rugged cliff crowned with the ruins of towers erected in by gone ages. Into a long tunnel we now go and as we run out into the light, before us are large groves of olives, figs, oranges and vineyards, while on the other hand is the restless sea which is always interesting and at tractive. We arrived at Genoa at dark and were agreeably surprised to see the main streets lighted by electricity. We stopped at Hotel Smith, kept by’ a gentleman from Boston and’ true to his raising, at dinner we had baked beans. Near the Railway station, in the center of a square surrounded by palms, is the Statue of Columbus, lie is leaning on an anchor Kneeling al his feet is a female figure represent ing America. The pedestal is round, adorned with slips prows. The base is square and cut in relief are scenes from the life of Columbus. At either corner are figures representing re ]igio’ ( geography, science and wis dom In the old portion of the city the streets are very narrow' and crooked, the buildings are tall and many of the balconies touch across t >e street, making them dark and d s igreeable. A few are wider, and on them are the old palaces ot the Genoese nobility, some of these still]b»long to, and are occupied by the old'. families, but most of them are used as offices. A walk through several of these with their lovely' frescoes and decorations by the old masters, and the courti with t ieir elegant fountains and statu ary give an idea of what they’ must have been.
