Hetel de Lendkes, )
Genea, November 26th, 1881. $
I ariived here this afternoon from Pisa,
whero I spent yesterday en my way from
Heme. Pisa ii quite an attractive place,
with a population of about 50,0G0.
Its cathedral, baptistery, Campanile or
leaning tower, and Campe Sante are all of
much interest. The fine marbles in all the
above places give evidence of what a great
art centre Pisa has always been. Its close
ness te the Carara mountains makes it a
desirable location for sculptors. Much
fine work is produced here and prices are
much lower than cither in Fleteuce or
Reme. I had an elegant visit of fifteen days
in the Eternal City, and left, regretting
that my time could net be extended. Yeu
first reach Reme and contemplate what has
te be done. Yeu become almost bcwil
deicd. With the assistance of a geed
guide and a week of hard work, however,
you get the inn of the many places of in
terest, se that every day becomes snore en
joyable. Se much has been written about
Reme that I will net attempt te describe
any of the many places that I have visited,
and yet, after seeing St. Peter's, I could
enjoy a description of it every day. It is
se magnificent in its size, in its propor
tions in all its ornamentation, that it iseuly
after going a number of times that you
fully begin te realize what a perfect stiue stiue
ture it is. Next te St. Peter's. St. Paul's;
outside the walls of Reme, impressed me
as being the finest church I had visited.
As I had never heard of it even, you can
imagine ray surprise en lirst going into it.
If you arc familiar with it you will excuse
my detailed acceuut, but I was se impress
ed with its giandeur that I could net re
sist taking a few notes : 400 feet lenir, 10."
feet wide, with a ceiling 7." feet high, sup
ported by a double tow of PO immense
granite columns. The ceiling is richly
decorated in gilt ldief and paintings.
Above the columns and entirely around
the church are peittaits of all the Popes
in mosaic 5 feet in diameter. All the win
dows ate filled with the finest quality of
stained glass of the Apostles ; the .jmcjs
with mural painting by the best modem
artibts. The lloer i all of line niatble.
Colossal statues of Sts. Peter and Paul,
as well as .many mere statues, adeiu the
church and chapels. The canopy of the
high altar is .supported by four imtneii.se
columns of Oriental tthtbaxlcr, resting en
large iedcsluli nmhteJiite. These, with
all the details of the chutch finished up
in the same rich and elegant manner, have
se impressed me with its grandeur that I
cau never think of St. Peter's without con
necting St. Paul's with it. But I staited
out te my nothing about Reme and have
entirely forgotten myself. I can only ac
count ler this by having commenced this
letter last evening and being disturbed let
it test till this evening. T have enjoyed
the day very much seeing the sights of
Genea. Tt is a wonderfully inteiesting
old city, with a population of 1T.",000. Tt
appears te have been a city of palace?,
mere se even than Venice. The houses
are very high and sheets very narrow,
meie se even than Naples, which gives the
city a peculiar appearance. It has a line
harbor, which is new being improved, the
Inte Duke of Gallieta having left $1,000,000
for the purpose, en condition that the city
would spend a like amount. The climate
of Genea appears te be pleasant, as the
orange and lemon grew all around. Tliere
are many magnificent villas of the old
nobles near the city, connected with
which aie some of the most remarkable
gardens in the world. These I hope te
visit to-menow and leave the next morn
ing for Alenteue, and fiem there te Mo Me Mo
naeo, the great gambling hell, and which
I am told is the loveliest spot en earth. I
have net yet determined when I will te
turn, but net before some time in Janu
ary, as I am contemplating a voyage te
Spain. The ladies joined me yesterday at
Pisa and will go with me aa far as Nice,
where they expect te spend the winter.
Haxr.i. Continental, ?
Nice, Dec. 1, 1831.
The ia!'r.;d from Reme te Nice, like
many of the French and Italian reads,
shows great engineering ability. I am
sorry I cannot say as much for the man
agement, but in this lespect it is like most
reads in this part of the country, l nn ap
parently without a head. We reached our
destination f-afely, however, se I suppose
we should net cemplaiu, but congratulate
ourselves that for the extra time spent en
the read we were amply rewaided by
having a better opportunity of enjoying
the magnificent scenery. On leaving Reme
we pass ever the Catnpague, thteugh a
succession of ancient ruins and fellow the
valley te the Tiber for some twenty-five
miles, when we reach the Mediteiranean,
the .sheies of which we skirt almost the
entire distance te Niee. The Mxnery is
grand and picturesque, almostacentiuued
succession of tunnels, viaduct?, budges
and beautiful views. Thcie are many in
teresting towns and cities along the route,
but of course our lime would only permit
of our stepping at the principal ones. At
Pisa we spent a day very pleasantly, driv
ing through and around the quaint old
city visiting its magnificent cathedral
and baptistry, its Campe Sante
and Campanile or Leaning Tower.
In the cathedral still vibrates the same old
chandelier that gave Galilee the idea of I
the peudulum. Pisa was ence a large I

j commercial city en the sea ; uew it is six i
miles inland. Its principal busiuess ap
pears te Le sculpture, and no ether place
in Italia can you buy marble se cheap. A
short distance from Pisa, in the Carara
mountains, is pleasantly located the small
town of Massa. Here our gifted Lancaster
artist, Miss Blanche Nevin, has located her
studio, and is perfecting her model for the
statue of Muhlenberg. Frem photographs
which I have had the pleasure of exatnin.
ing, I have no fears but that Pennsylvania
will be creditably lepresented in the ait
gallery of our national capitol. Frem
Massa in two hours we reach Spezia, a
town of some twenty theusaud inhabitants
and it has one of the finest harbors in
Europe. The royal deck yards of Italia,
covering about one hundred and fifty
acres, are located here, aud arc well worth
a visit. A ride of some sixty miles farther
brings us te the quaint old city of Genea,
with its high houses aud very narrow
streets.
Genea was once a city ei great wealth
and had many palaces, a number of which
are still kept up and rich in fine paintings
and sculpture. It is surrounded by line
gardens, drives aud elegant villas, aud its
Campe Saute is the richest in the world.
One might spend several days in it alone
examining its magnificent works of art.
Having a geed, but rather small harbor,
Genea has considerable commerce aud but
little manufacturing, except in filigred
jiwelry. Iu this it is certainly head
quarters. Owing te heavy rains which
dieve us from Genea several days sooner
than we expected we thought best te pass
Mentone aud teveral ether places of inter
est and hurry en te Nice. Lucky for us
that we did, as the read has been se
washed that it will net be iu a condition
te pass ever for two or three weeks. The
Pennsylvania railroad company would re
pair all the damage iu twenty four hours.
Nice is the great lesert of Europe, pro
tected us it is by the Maritime Alps, it is
almost tropical in its climate. The
palm, oranges, lemons, fis and olives
grew in abundance. The city, although
net particulatly hindseinc, is rather at
tractive. The new pait is well laid out
with wide streets and has line buildings.
There arc a number of handsome squares
and several liue promenades. The hotels
and beaiding houses are iu sufficient
numbeis te accotnmeditc some twenty
five thousand visiteis and arc genetally
geed ; rates from eight te eighteen francs
per day $1. CO te $:.(50. The lleating
population of Nice is from every portion
of the glebe, and at the height of the sea
seu is estimated at fifty thousand, but I
think the number I have given is meie
neatly correct. Theie aic many line
diives around Nice, the iniwt atti active of
which appears te be Monace and Metite
C.nle. The great gambling ball Monace
is the smallest state in the world, having
an area of some six square miles aud a pep.
illation of about six thousand, with an
army of sixty-two men. The prince, who
is blind, lives in a line palace in the
village of Monace, which is located
en :i high promontory overlooking
the Mediterranean. A portion of the
rocky aud ban en mountainside, some half
a mile distant, he leased some fifteen yeats ,
age te a Hanoverian named : Hianc,"' t
bu Used for gambling purposes. Monsieur
Blanc terraced the locks, laid out garden.-:
aud built a Ciaiue, made the place attrac
tive and brought the world te his place te
gamble. lie seen accumulated an immense
fortune. Dying a few years age he left
the place and a large feitunc te Madame
Blanc and two daughters. They con
tinued te beautify the place and inciease
their fei tunes. The madamc is dead and
the immense fortunes of the daughtcis
married each te a prince. The lease, lun
dci stand, is uew about te or has passed
into the hands of a Ficnch company, who
are te pay an enormous bonus for it.
Sutely vice is pitsentcd here iu a gilded
form, for all agiee that Mente Catle is
one of the handsomest places en eatth.
The gardens, restaurants and hotels are
all grand. The Casine is a magnificant
palace, in which are reading and smoking
rooms, ball rooms, card aud play looms,
and the finest theatre aud concert room iu
all Europe, in which every afternoon and
eveuing is given a free concert by sixty
pei formers.
