VENICE. “Tf you would save some dreams of youth, | From the torpedo touch of trath, {Go not to Venice, do not light, Your early fancies with the sight, / Of her true, real, dismal state— Her mansions foul and desolate, Aer close canals, exhaling wide, | Su¢h foetid air as with those domes | Of silent grandeur by their side, Where step of life ne’er goes or comes, | And those black barges plying round, { With melancholy plashing sound, } Seem like a city where the pest, | Is helding her last visitation, | And all, eve long, will be at rest,

1} if

e deal, sure rest of desolation.”

‘and been in ill health besides, when he!

wrote the above. Years ago Rogers wrote} lof it :—

‘* There is a glorious city in the sea, The sea is in the broad and narrow streets, Ebbing and flowing, and the «alt sea-weed Clings to the marble of her palaces, No track of men, no footsteps to and fro, Lead to her yates. The path lies‘o’er the sea i‘ {avineible ; and from the land we went | As toa floating city. Steering in And gliding up the streets as ina dream, So smoothly, silently.”

Part of this is true, part not. Sirce it was written, the eighty islands upon which Venice is built have been connected with the mainland by a bridge two und a quarter} niles long, which rests upon piles and, was contructed at a cost of £187,000.

As the trains crossed this bridge one bright afternoon in February, 1881, we caught our first view of Venice. I decided at once that she was worthy of all that had ever been said or sung in her praise. | Towers,palaces, churches,rose from the sea in the most fairylike way.

The chief thoroughfares of Venice are its canals, of which there are 146, crossed by 460 bridges. The grand canal winds through nearly the whole length of the city. One of the bridges which span it is the famous Rialto. One can, however, walk all over Venice if he so desira, though the streets are very narrow, some of them mere alleys, and so tortuous that it is impossible for a stranger to find his way at first without a guide. Two friends went ont one evening from our hotel, to go to the square of St. Mark’s, a short distance away. They kept revolving in a circle for some time, ever and anon finding themselves at the door of the hotel, and finally had to abandon the aitempt until daylight.

When one arrives at the Railway Station, on the Grand Canal, Venice loses, for the time, its fairy-like character. Here gon- doliers, with their black canopied gondolas, are in waiting, which impress one most mournfully. A ride in one of them throayh the silent canals, whose enly noise is the dip of the gondolier’s oar, to what seems to be the back door of a huge barn- like building, which turns out to be an hotel, does not serve to lessen the impres- sion. By a decree of the State some hun-

in black, with the exception of those of ambassadors, which were gorgeously cov ered with scarlet, that their movements ulght be more easily watched. Venice, by imoonlight, or bright sunlight, however, is jas bewitching as ever, and he whe would find fault with her at such time is indeed | ihard to please. From the top of the camp-} ianile or bell-tower of the church of St. | | Marks, one sunny day, we had a glorious} iview of the ‘‘ city risen from the sea”—a | view to remember a lifetime. In this |tower a guard is stationed day and night, ‘who rings the alarm for the town in case of} fire. Here is a fine telescope by which one} ‘ean have bis vision still further enlarged if} ihe wishes,

Around the great Square of St. Mark’s,: |which is the largest open space in Venice, | cluster some of the principal places of inter-| jest. The church of St. Mark’s, the Doge’s| | palace, the clock-tower, the glass manuf: "1

itory, end the numberless jewelry,| iglass and picture shops under the} ' colonnades, Near the clock tower)

\is the Mercerio where the finest shops are. | | As itis the proper thing to do, we fed the} pigeons, which congregate in hundreds in to} ithe Square at the toll df the two o’clock|

ibell. These birds, on account of some ser-|

vice rendered hy earrier pigeons to the} State some hundreds of years ago, ars daily | ifed at its expense. | | Over the chuveh of St. Mark’s still stand! ‘its famous bronze horses. They were

lhrovught from Constantinople by the! Venetians during the Crusades. Auti-| |quarians differ as to their history. The)

most generally accepted one is that they were brought from Alexandria by Augustus) after his conquest of Antony, and erected | on a triumphal arch at Rome. Succeeding | emperors removed them to arches of their| own. Constantine transferred them to Constantinople. Since their removal from that place they have occupied their present position, except during a brief visit to Paris where they graced the Arch de Carousel, one of the triumphal arches of Napoleon L. At his downfall they were restored to Venice.

St. Mark’s looks like a Mosque. in his Su n 8 «f Venice seems as if he could) not exhaust himself in its praise. Mark) Twain saysit has ‘‘agrand harmonious whole of soothing, entrancing, tranquilizing, soul- satisfying ugliness.” The inside of it isa vasc curiosity shop, made up of the spoils, of other churches. We were shown in the, vestibules three slabs of marble, put dewn| to mark the spot where Barbarossa knelt to receive the foot of the Pontiff ; also four

'from the Mosque of St. Sophia; and in another place are the alabaster pillars said | to have been formerly in Solomen’s Tempie. |Leading into the sacristy is Sansovine's | bronze door, which it took him twenty-five | years to chisel. ir this church one sees | the beginning of the art of Mosaic in pic- ,ture, made in the eighth century, and the | perfection of it as shown in others of the |present day. Iwas interested to learn ithat the secret of Venetian Mosaic manu- jfacturing has never been given to any other couatry, but has been transmitted |from father to son through successive gen- | erations.

In the Doge’s palace we spent some in- teresting hours. At the top of the “* Giant’s | Staircase,” at the entrance, which takes its name from the etone giants on each side of it. is the ‘* Lion’s Mouth,” so famous in Venetian stories. Into it in former

jtimes were drepped all anonymous com- | munications and denunciations of conspira- jtors against fascended the “go'den staircase” of * the liany different descriptions have been} nobles. iwritten of the ‘‘Queen of the Adriatic, y jbut I am quite convinced that the poet! | Moore must have had mos* dismal weather, |

the State. We afterwards Above this the stacco work was very beautiful. In one of the halls we saw Tition’s ‘‘ Descent from the Cross.” The Senate Chamber, though new despoiled of its rich carpets and velvet hangings, is still very magnificent in frescoes and fine paintings. Leading out of it, is the hall of the Ten Inquisiturs formerly draped with black. In the Parliament Halli is Tintoretto’s “ Glory of Paradise,’ the largest painting on canvas in the wozld. Here also are the portraits of the doges, in all 115. Only one is omitted, that of Marino Falicro. In its place ia a black veil on which is inscribed words to the effect that this Doge was executed for treason. We went down afterwards, cross- ing over the ‘‘ Bridge of Sighs” into the prison, and saw the cells of the State prisoners and all the horrible paraphernalia by which they were put to death. The moat terrible ingenuity seems to have been exercised in inventing tortures for these prisoners. In the winter they were thrust into cold dark cells underground ; in the summer they were brought up and exposed to all the heat of a southern sun in tin roofed prisons.

The Molo which runs aleng by the waters of the harbor, is one of the faverite walks; and leads to the Arsenal and public gar- dens. In the former we were much inter- ested in the collection of ancient arms, fiags and mode!s of ships of war. Here is to be seen the remains of the *‘ Bucentaer,” the barge in which the Doge used to ‘‘ wed the Adriatic.”

In the public gardens are the only horses in Venice. The little Venitians regard them with great awe, much in the same way as the juveniles of other countries lock upon the animals of a menagerie. '

Glass blowing, braiding and weaving is carried to great perfection in Venice, and forms one of the chief industries. In one of our gondola rides on the Grand Canal, the ‘‘ songless gondolier” pointed out to us Byron’s former residence.

Some time ago, at Lord Sherbrooke’s town house, the butler caught a strange wan hiding in a store-closet, between the hours of 9 and 10 p.m., evidently with burglarious intent. Taking him to Vis- count Sherbrooke, who was in his study, the butler asked whether he should fetch a policeman, ‘‘ Certainly,” said his Lord- ship; ‘‘or rather, you need not trouble ; I will ring for one!" and so saying he rang the bell. Buttons appearing, his Lordship said, gravely: ‘* William, co into the kitchen and tell a peliceman or two to come up.” Getting no answer to his puzzled and amazed look, the boy went, only to retura in a few moments to say that there was no constable on the premises. ‘* What!” exclaimed his Lordship; “ you mean to tell me that, with a plain cook and three housemaids in my employ, there is not a single policeman in my kitchen! It is a miracle, and our prisoner shail reap the benefit of. Butler, let the man go in- stantly !”
