Mark Twain linn written r booh, anl therein
ILtiH speaks of
MI nAKI. AN(tKlX).
In tbis connection I wiwh to say one word
abont Bliolinol Angelo Uuonarotti. I nsod
to wornbip tLo mighty geniim of Michael
Angelo tliat man who wo great in poetry,
painting, sculpture, architecture groat in
everything he undertook. Hut I do not
want Michael Angclo for breakfast for
luncheon for dinner for tea for sup
perfor between meals. I like a whangn
oecftHioiially. In (ieno.i, he designed every
thing; in Milan, lie or his pupils designed
very thing; ho designed the L ike of Coino;
in l'udua, Veronn, Venice, lJolognn, who
did we ever heur of, from guides, but
Michael Angelo? In Florenco he painted
everything, designed everything, nearly,
and what ho did not design he used to sit
on a favorite stone and look at it, nud they
showed us the stone. In Pisa ho designed
everything but the old shot-tower, and they
would have attributed that to him if it h.id
mot been so awfully out of the perpendicular.
He designed the piers of Leghorn and the
custom hoti.so regulations of Civita Vecchia.
J5ut, hero here it is frightful. Ifo designed
Mt. refers: ho designed the Pope; ho designed
the Pantheon, the uniform of the Pope's sol
diers, the Tiber, the Vatican, the Coliseum,
the Capitol, the Tarpoian Kock, tho 15.u-lier.ui
Palace, St. John Lateran, tho Canipagna, the
App'an Way, the Seven Hills, the lJutlis of
('iiracalla, tho Claudian Aqueduct, the Cloaca
Maxima tho eternal bore desigue.l the Eter
nal City, and unless all men aud books d lie,
lie painted everything in it.
I never felt so fervently thankful, so soothed,
no tranquil, so tilled with n blessed peace, as
I did yesterday when I learned that Miclnel
Angelo was dead.
thi; (jviuks of r.oME
he found an intolerable nussnnee, but ho
uhows his countrymen how to deal with
tlieni:
We have taken it out of this guide. Ho
lias marched us through miles of pictures and
sculpture in the vast corridors of the Vatican,
and through miles of pictures and sculpture
in twenty other palaces: he has shown us the
great picture of the Sistine (.'impel, and fres
coes enough to fresco the heavens -and
pretty much all done by Michael Angelo. Si)
with him we have played that game which
has vanquished so many guides lor us im
becility and idiotic (luestioiis. These crea
tures nevt r suspect - -they have no idea of
sarcasm.
lie sl ows us a figure and snys: '"Suitoo
brunzo. ' (Dron.e siaiue.)
We 1. ok at it indill'ereullv and tho doctor
asks: "l?v Michael
Angelo ?"
'No not know who.'
Then
Forum.
he shows us the
Tho doctor asks
ancient IIdiii.iu
"Michael Au-
gelo?"
A stare from the guide. "No thousau'
year before he is born. '
Then an Egyptian obelisk. Again:
"Michael Angelo.'''
"Oh, won dim, gentlemen! Zis is two
thousnn' year before lie is born '."
He grows so tired of that unceasing ques
tion sometimes that bo dreads to show us
anything at all. The wretch has tried all tlw
ways he can think of to make us comprehend
that Michael Angelo is only responsible for
the creation of a puvtoi the world, but sonio
bow he has not succeeded yet. Relief for
overtasked eyes and brain from study and
sight-seeing is necessary, or wo shall become
idiotic sure enough. Therefore this guide
must continue to suffer. If ho does not
enjoy it, bo much tho worse for him. Wo do.
The doctor asks tho questions, generally,
because he can keep his countenance, and
look more like an inspired idiot, and throw
more .imbecility in tho tone of his voice
than any man that lives. It coiuos natural
to him.
The guides in Genoa are delighted to se
cure an American parly, beeauso Americans
so much wonder, and deal so much in senti
ment and emotion before any relic of Colum
bus. Our guide there lidgeted about as if ho
had swallowed a spring mattress. Ho was
full of animation full of impatience. He
said:
"Come wis mo, gtmteclmen! come! I
fihow you ze letter written by Christopher
Columbo ! write it himself ! write it wis his
own hand ! come !
He took us to the municipal palace. After
much impressive fumbling of keys and open
ing of locks, the stained and aged document
was spread before us. The guide's eyes
sparkled. He danced about us and tapped the
parchment with his linger:
"What I tell you, geuteelmen? Is it not so?
See, handwriting of Christopher Colombo
write it himself ! '
We looked indifferent unconcerned. Tho
doctor examined tho document very delibe
rately during a painful pause. Then he said,
without any show of interest:
"Ah Ferguson what what did you say
was the name of tho party who write this':'"
"Christopher Colombo; ze great Christo
pher Colombo!"
Another deliberate examination.
"Ah, did he write it himself or or how?"
"He write it himself Christopher Colom
bo; he's own handwriting, write by himself."
Then the doctor laid the document down
, said said;
"Why I have sptm boys in America only
"Tom-teen years old who could write better
than that. '
"But this is the great Christo "
"I don't care who it is ! It's the worst
writing I ever saw. Now you mustn't think
you can impose on ns because wo are stran
gers. We are not fools by a good deal. If
you have any specimens of penmanship of
real merit trot them out and if you haven't
drive on!"
We drove on.
"We have made it interesting for this lloman
guide. Yesterday wo spent three or four
hours in the Vatican aguiu, that wonderful
world of curiosities. We came very near ex
pressing interest sometimes oven admira
tion; it was very hard to keep from
it. We succeeded, though. Nobody else ever
did in tho Vatican museums. The guide was
bewildered, nonplussed, lie walked his legs
off nearly hunting up extraordinary things.
and exhausted all his ingenuity on us, but it
was a failure; wo never hhowod any interest
in anything. He had reserved what he con
sidered to be his grat wonder till the last, a
royal Egyptian mummy, the best preserved
in the world, perhaps. He took us there. He
felt ho dure this time that some of his old en
thnsiasm came back to lira:
"Hoe, genteelmen! mummy! mummy!
The eye-glass caino up as calmly, as delibe
rufttlv fiu Aver.
"Ah, Ferguson, what did I understand you
to say the gentleman's name was Tt"
"Name? he got no name ! mummy !
'Gyptian mummy I"
"Yes, yes. Lorn hero ?"
4 'No 1 (Jyptiaa muuiuiy J "
"Ah, just no; Frenchman, I presume ';"
"No ! tint Frenchman, not ltoman ! born
inF.gypta!"
"Lorn in Egypta ! Never hoard of Egypta
before. Foreign loiyility, likely. Mummy,
mMumy. How calm he is, how self -possessed.
Is, ah is he dead ?''
"Oh, gacre Itlm, been dead three thousand
years!
The doctor turned ou him savagely.
"Here, now, what do you mean by such
conduct, as this I Tlaying us for Chinamen
because we are strangers and trying to learn !
Trying to impose your vile second-hand car
cases on us ! Thunder and lightning, I've a
notion to to if you've got n nice firth
corpse, fetch him out, or by Goorgo we'll
brain you !"
Wo make it interesting for this Frenchman.
However, he has pi. id ns back, partly without
knowing it. Ho came to the hotel this morn
ing to ask if he were up, and endeavored as
well as ho could to describe us. He finished
with the casual remark that wo were lunatics.
The observation v.ns so innocent and so
honest that it amounted to a very good thing
for a guide to say.
There is one remark ("already mentioned)
which never yet lias failed to disgust these
guides. Wo use it always when wo eau think
of nothing else to say. After they have ex
hausted their enthusiasm pointing out to us
and praising the beauties of some ancient
bronze image or broken-legged statue, we
look at it stupidly and in silence for five, ten,
fifteen minutes as long as we can hold out,
in fact and then nsk: ,
"Is is he dead?''
That conquers tho serenest of them. It
is not what they are looking for. especially a
How guide. Our ltoman Ferguson is tho
most patient, unsuspecting, long-suffering
sub ject we have had yet. Wo shall be sorry
to part with him. We have enjoyed his so
ciety very much. Wo trust he has enjoyed
ours, but we nre harassed with doubts.
THE FOLLIES OF AMERICANS AIMtO.M)
me thus hit oil' in the following sketch taken
at Paris:
Letween tho promenades and tho side
walks are seated hundreds of people at small
tables, smoking and taking irumta a tirst
cousin to ice cream- on the sidewalks are
more employing themselves in the same way.
Tho shops on the tirst tloor of the tall rows of
buildings that well in threo sides of the square
are brilliantly lighted, tho nir is tilled with
music and merry voices, nnd altogether tho
scene is as bright and spirited and full of
frhcei'fuhioss as any man could desire. We
enjoy it thoroughly. Very many of the
young women are exceedingly pretty, and
dress with rare good taste. Wo are
gradually and laboriously learning tho
ill-manners of staring them unflinch
ingly in tho face not because such
conduct is agreenblo to us, but bocauso it is
tho custom of the country, nud they say tho
girls like it. We wish to learn all the curious,
outlandish ways of all the different countries,
so that we can "show off" and astonish people
when we get home. AVo wish to excite the
envy of our uutravelled friends with our
Ktrango foreign fashions which we can't shake
off. All our passengers are paying strict at
tention to this thing, with the end in view
which I hare ment ioued. Tho gentlo reader
will never, never know what a consummate
ass he can becomo until he goes abroad. I
speak now, of course, in tho supposition that
the gentlo reader has not been abroad, and,
therefore, is not ulready a consummate ass.
If the case be otherwise, I beg his pardon and
extend to him tho cordial hand of fellowship
and call him brother. I shall always delight to
meet an ass after my own heart when 1 shall
have finished my travels.
On this subject let mo remark that there
are Americans abroad in Italy who have actu
ally forgot ton their mother tongue in three
months forgot it in France. They cannot
even write their address in English in a hotel
register. I append these evidences, which I
copied verbatim from the register of a hotel
in a certain Haitian city:
"John P. Whitoomb, EUtt Unit."
"William L. Ainsworth, tnimtillciiv iho
meant traveller, I suppose), Etntn Uniti.''
"George P. Morton, at JiU, d' Amcriinf:"
"Lloyd 1). Williams, tt train a mix, villc de
DusUoi , A mcririit "
"J. Ellsworth Laker, tout dc unit' dc Frmice
place di )itinnaii('c Aituri'jiic. dixtiimtioii It
(Hind lti'1-tagnc."
I love this sort of people.
"l'EOIU.E AND THINGS.'1
A column in the Buffalo Expires, to which
Mark devotes a huge share of attention, con
tains the following:
Tho late Andrew Johnson is getting his
remarkable career set to music, and is going
to try it awhile that way.
An Arkansas parson proposes to name his
baby after Theodore Tilton for a copy of tho
Ind(u)idi at a year.
They are putting down asphaltum walks in
Greenwood Cemetery. Tho old residents
there have made no objections to the move
ment so far.
Sir Walter Scott, in a letter, now disclaims
the authorship of tho "Waveiley" novels. It
took him a good while to think of it.
Little boys should persevere and keep good
hearts, remembering that tho celebrated John
Smith was oulv an indifferent sort of a shoe
maker at first, but in time, by diligence, st udy,
and dose attention to business, ho becunie tho
worst shoemaker that ever was.
John Wagner, the oldest man in Ituuulo
one hundred and four years recently walked
a mile and a half in two weeks. Ho is as
cheerful and bright as any of these other old
men that charge around so in lho newspapers,
and in every way as reniarKauiu. jjiih No
vember he walked live mocks in a ram storm
without tint shell ci' but an umbrella, and cast
his vote for Grant, remarking that ho had
voted for forty-seven Presidents which was
a lie. His "second crop of rich brown l air"
arrived from New York yesterday, and he has
a new set of teeth coming from Philadelphia.
He is to be married next week to a girl one
hundred and two years old, who still takes m
washing. They have been engaged eighty
years, but their parents persistently refused
meir consent until three days ago. .loan
Wagner is two vears older than the llhode
lHland veteran, and yet has never tasted a
drop of liquor in his life, unless you count
whisky.
Another restaurant waiter has fallen heir to
a colossul fortune. How is it that waiters ire
so much in luck? It is not worth while to say
it is because they are willing to wait for a
fortune, because uny small punster could dip
his ladle into his pot of seething trivialties,
and nsh that up but honestly, why is it?
Five waiters have inherited windfalls in tho
last two weeks, and only one milliner. Why
this disparity? The last threo lucky waiters
are George H. Wingate, of Missfmri n,,n.

The iceberg is the largest independent
floating body in the universe, except the
heavenly orbs. There is nothing approaching
it, within the range of our knowledgo, on
this globe of ours; and yet it is, as we have
Reen, but a fragment of the ice stream, which
is, in its turn, but an arm of tho ieo sea. Vnd
yet the iceberg is to the great quantity of
Greenland ice as tho ppring of a finger-nail
to the human body; as a small chip to tho
largest tree; as a shovelful of earth to Man
hattan Island. Yet magnify the bit of Ice in
your tumbler until it becomes, to your imagi
nation, a half a mile in diameter each way,
and you have a mass that is far from unusual.
Add to this a mile, two miles of length, and
you have what may be sometimes seen. I
havo Nailed alongsido of an iceberg, two miles
and a half, measured with a log line, before
coming to tho end of it.
The name signifies, as we have seen before,
ice mountain, nnd it is truly mountainous in
size. Lift it out of the water and it becomes
a mountain ono thousand, two thousand, three
thousand feet high. In dimensions it. is as if
New York city wero turned adrift in the At
lantic, or the Central Park were cut out and
launched in the sanio place. An iceberg
of the. dimensions of the Central Park is
for from unusual. And its surface is not
in form unlike it cither. It is undulating
liko the Park, nnd craggy, ami crossed by
ravines, and dotted with lakes tho water
of tho lakes being formed from tho melt
ing snows of the late winter, and
also of tho ico itself after the snows have dis
appeared beforo the influence of the summer's
sun. I havo even bathed in such a lake, al
though I am glad to say but once, and that
was in "those days of other years," whon tho
youthful insanity is strong to say, "I have
done if a disease which I believe to be
amenable only to that treatment popularly
known as "sad experience." Skating on an
iceberg lake is far more satisfactory and sensi
ble. Such are tho general features of tho
ic berg as they nre to bo secnevery day iu the

the runaways to order only served to infuriate them.
Some of them seemed to tie perfectly crazy, ami it
was a matter of jrtvat pcnmnal danger to approach
anywhere near them. At last the employes armed
themselves with muskets, riilvs, guns, pistols, axes,
etc., nnd renewed their pursuit of the scattered
drove.
One ktror passed up the Terrace, and made
straight lor a boy v ho was carrying a market baKct.
Ui y ran, but the bullock gained ou him, ami would
undoubtedly have killed him mid not the boy provi
dentially fallen The basket rolled ulong the ground,
and tlie'Texun bounded over the prostrate boy urter
the basket, which he tossed high In the air, while
the boy Jumped up aud ran I he other way, escaping
with only a kind fright. At the corner of Church
street anu the Terrace the same beast caught a man
c n his hums, and threw him over his back, ami
passed on. The man was not serlootdy lDjured. A
man w ith a rule tired u shot which struck the bul
lock in the buck. The steer then ran up to Kvaus
street, down Kvaus to C anal, where he created a
sensation, but did no harm. The crowd chased the
beaut to the bank of the Kvaus slip, where he
plunged in, and was soon despatched with rilles.
Another passed on towards Delaware street and
knocked down an eh! woman, striking her with his
shoulder, Jlewas killed at the corner of Delaware
and Vngle streets.

In all directions, and there Is hardly tiny part of the
city which was not visited by one or more of thcui.
One, which passed up Seneca street, was followed
by a large crowd. At the comer of .Michigan a man
sent a bullet Into his head, but the animal did nut
stop. He received three mure balls, and ut the cor
ner of swan a railroad man gave him one in the
heart, which had a quieting etlCct on his nerves.
Another was killed on Kim street.
A number went towards Fort Porter, and the re
gulars had line fun shooting ut them; but one mail,
who approached to give the finishing shot, was sur

animal on his gun, and the two went to iltist, tlie
bullock giving out in the tussle.
Onettillock knocked down and gored a woman
named Mrs. Green, on Seneca street. She was taken
to her home and medical aiil culled. It was found
that one ankle was badly sprained unit that she had
been Injured internally. At last accounts she was
not expected to live.
A large number of the cattle passed westward
along the Terrace anil the railroad, taking to the
lake shore below the round-house. Men mounted
on horseback, and gathered some of them In the
vicinity of York street bridge, and live of theni were
killed by the soldiers. The carcasses were tukcu
away by butchers.
Jliiny took to the water, dome prmsinu down the

was afterwards shot by .Mr. Kendall iu .ludgo

The total number reported killed, up to last night,
was eighteen. -Mr. .loslyn, cattle inspector, informs
