"We arrived at Athens yesterday after dark, and I pen this , letter in the "Hotel de la Grande Bretagne, sur la place da Palais Eoyal, Athens, Greece." I think that I covered in my last letter all that I care' to say in detail about sightseeing in Home. "We went the nsnal rounds, which have been described over and over again. To characterize the city in gen eral terms I should say that it strikes me as being the most remarkable combination of the ancient, the mediasval and the modern that can be conceived. As I walked its dirty streets these are not as nasty as they used to be, I am informed, but surely they are bad enough yet, even worse than my be loved New York I was impressed strongly with this threefold character of the city .which will ever be imperial. PerhapsI was not fanciful in thinking that I read in the dignified carriage of its best citizens , their consciousness of a great future lor tne ; kingdom of which Borne is the capital. KIND VOEDS TOE ITAMANS. The Italians please as well as interest me beyond expression. Their physique is splendid. The thoroughbred look of their army strikes one. A people capable of great physical exploit, possessing the orderly and practical genius of Rome, and this asso ciated by long familiarity and cultivation with religious art and "devotion, fired by grand historic "traditions, and feeling the inspiration of renewed nationality this, I think, describes the leading citizens of mod ern .Italy. Time will remove apparent in congruities, and put an end to conflicts which, in my judgment, are more apparent than real. The Pope has lost his temporal power, it is true, bnt the Italian people are still greatly influenced, perhaps not less on this account, by religions faith, which has no real conflict with the progressive spirit of modern civilization. Looking at the ruins of the splendid civilization of ancient Borne, and photo graphing on my memory, I hope with ineffaceable Impression, its miracles of sacred art, I still welcome the sight of miles of new streets of the modemest of modern "houses, nor fear that nineteenth century progress will impair the value of an en nobling pride in a great history, and the softening and gracious influences oi religions art and devotion. 'Our stay in Borne was all too short and bnsy. Dr. Talmage was indefatigable while there, as everywhere . indeed, and that curiosity trunk of his, as weighted with Roman specimens, is a miracle of ponderosity and a godsend to exacting officials. PICTTJEES OF NAPLES. The journey from Borne to Staples was of about six hours' duration and undertaken after only five hours' sleep. I mnst say that my most sanguine impressions of Italy and matters Italian do not reconcile me to the discomforts and annoyances of railroad travel in that sunny land. "Virtue was re-' warded, however, and patient continuance in the train did at length bring ns to the city guilty ot the proud boast: "See Naples and die." "While I cheerfully recognize the beauty of the modern streets of that popu lous town I feel obliged to say that these streets resemble those of the same elass everywhere else so much that beyond men tioning them nothing need be said about them. It is in Old Naples that one sees monumentally tall, quaintly built houses, lava pavements, antiqne churches, an'd shady, inconvenient narrowness of way, this tolerable, but oh, the omnipresent dirt and the indescribable, all-pervading stench. "What a gay and motley population, and no citv could have more varied and discordant noises. The costumes worn by the people, I need not say particularly by the women, are bright and striking and wonderfully di verse. I cannot describe the combination of sounds laughter, song, string music, clink ing hoofs of asses and mules, gay converse, chaffering and screaming by sellers of mul tifarious wares. Naples is a delightful reminiscence to me, at a safe distance from itssiehtsof filth and Bqualor, its odious and well, one element in its teeming popula tion is the most hated of all forms of life by the good housewife. TALMAGE UNDEE COTEE. The two foil days we spent at Naples afforded a remarkable contrast to our ex periences in London and Borne. Dr. Tal mage was snared calls and recognitions ab solutely. Bo far as I know not a sonl in the hotel or ont of it knew that the Brook lyn preacher was in town. A simple device prevented this the writer figuring as the head of the party and registering as sneh. Our trip from Naples to Brindisi was made by rail, and lasted 16 hours. Italy has no sleeping cars, bnt supplies a mighty poor substitute for them in reclining chairs, tor the use ot which a charge of $4 a night per head is exacted. Even at this price the occupier is not left to the quiet enjoyment of his rest. Twice a night he is visited by an officer whose duty it is to change the pans of warm water, which are used in heating the 'compartment Three times in the night, jmoreover, the passenger is required to ex hibit the ticket which entitles him to a seat in the aforesaid reclining chair. The train stops about every 20 minutes, when the con ductor passes along its entire length on the outside, publishing in a nasal tone in front of each compartment the name of the station. That nobody on the train expects to leave it for hours makes no difference to this industrious official. Our experiences with him and his train began at halt-past seven in the evening, and lasted 16 hours. "We were bored, we were cold, we were wretched. Hot water is hut a noor substi tute for the much abased American car stove, of which I will never speak dis respectfully again. A2T ANCIENT BCT DIBTY SPOT. Brindisi is a good place to get ont of. It consists for the greater part of hovels, and is the dirtiest town I ever saw. I am sure I -should love the Italians more if they were cleaner. St. Paul, I am informed, landed at Brindisi after being shipwrecked, which made the place specially interesting to Dr. Talmage, who spent some time making men tal photographs of this ancient and interest ing (and dirty) town. We were not there loner, leaving at 1 the next morning after m TALMAGE TOUR. , our arrival, but finding time to seek for the place which is said to nave been the birth nlace of Virgil.

"We were awfully tired and hungry when we sat down to dine at the hospitable board of the landlord who was willing to be ignor ant, even in his relations with tnnricti sf Alter the meal Dr. Talmage expressed Ms 'happiness in the seclusion which the plan.

His concern at the burning of the Brooklyn Tabernacle was mixed with congratulatory anticipation relating to the new edifice. LTJXUBY 07 A LONG BED. I mentioned before that 1 in the morning was the hour of our embarkation from Brin disi. The voyage to Patras lasted 28 hours. Our long-legged divine didn't enjoy it, that part of it. at least, which was spent in bed. 'Ibis is what he said to me after emerging from his nocturnal quarters: "I long for a bed that will give me enough room to sling my legs around about ten feet and a blanket big enough to wrap around a house. These coffins," continued he, "which they call berths, afford me but little comfort" He had recovered his cordial spirits by the time we were bowling along on a Grecian Bail road, making our way from Patras to Corinth. We traveled at the rate of only 15 miles an hour, it is true, bnt one docs not feel like wanting to hurry when in Greece. Inspired by the prospect of delightfal expe rience in the Attic city, Dr. Talmage's spirits were exuberant, and the author of the Life of Christ wanted to jump off the train and run alongside of it a mile or two for exercise. Louis Klopsch. WANTED IN .WASHINGTON. An Alleged Swindler Captured In the Elmer Building, Detective Philip Demmel yesterday morn ing arrested C. H. 'Woodward in an office in the Eisner building, corner Fifth avenue and "Wood street The man is wanted in "Washington City for swindling op erations there. Superintendent of Police Moore, of "Washington, in a letter to the Pittsburg authorities, said that "Woodward had defrauded three "Washington men ont of $350. He advertised for clerks at $16 a week, and required them to make a deposit of $100 to $200. He claimed to be an agent for a large publishing house. "Woodward and his wife came to this city about two weeks ago and took a room at the boarding house of Mrs. Zimmer, No. 542 Smithfield street After the husband was taken in at his office, his wife was also - E laced under arrest Both "Woodward and is wife are people of good appearance and are well dressed.

His occupation, he said, was that of a lumberman' and an architect He had $17 in his pocket The wife said that her husband came from Taunton, Mass. She married him two years ago in Philadelphia, against the wishes of her parents. Her age is 28 The police were satisfied she was not implicated in her husband's operations, and sent her back to Philadelphia last evening. "Woodward will be held until an officer comes from "Washington. It has not de veloped that he swindled anybody in this city, but he had been advertising and was already in correspondence with two or three persons. The Safest Shopping Street In Pittsburg. Very recently an element of danger has been added to shopping in Pittsburg, and those who are thoughtful of their wives, mothers; sistgrs and daughters have looked with some alarm to the increasing number of cable cars in the already crowded and narrow streets of Pittsburg. There is one street however, that is not troubled in this respect, and every day it is becoming more popular as a shopping thoroughfare.

Awful Crimea of Borgias Recalled bj Hungary's Horror. MURDEROUS KOSTEUMS OF OLD. Terrible Women Who Divorced Themselves by Deadly Potions. THE E Y1L WORKED BI FORTUNE TELLEKB "Is our civilization a failure, and is the Caucasian played, out?" The question was asked years ago by a cynical American hu morist; but -from time to time occasions arise, and events occur, so utterly at vari ance with what might be properly expected to be the result of continuous progress and enlightenment that we can scarcely refrain from asking ourselves whether we are really living in an age of widespread philanthropy and practical piety aa age, too, of rail roads and steamboats, of gas and electricity, of newspapers and schools for everybody. Ancient history is full of appalling stories of secret poisoning, says a writer in the London Telegraph. "Who has not read of Phrasjas of Mantinea, who invented a poison which conld be moderated in snch a manner as to have effect in two or three months, or at the end of a year or two years, and the more lingering the death the more miserable it was? This poison was pre pared from aconite, a plant which on that acconnt people were forbidden to have in their possession under pain of capital pun ishment. Yet, notwithstanding the prohi bition, the deadly potion was extensively used in Some about two centuries before the Christian era. As several persons of dis tinction died within the same year and of the like distemper, an inquiry was made into the cause. A maid servant gave evidence against some ladies of the first families who, she said, prepared and distribnted poison; and above ISO of them were convicted and punished. THE HTNGABIAJT HOBEOE. One wonld think that such horrible crim inality as the wholesale poisoning of inno cent people belonged wholly to Pagan times; but, unfortunately, the annals of toxicology, down to our days, are replete with histories of indiscriminate poisoning. The latest of these tragedies is reported to have occurred in Hungary, where the Assize Court of Grossbecsteret is about to try a -hideous, hut, unfortunately, by no means unprece dented case of poisoning en masse. It is stated that no fewer than 80 women of the Servo-Magyar village of Melencie are ac cused of having poisoned their husbands and other near relatives, and that they pro cured the deleterious stuff from two profes sional fortnn-etellers'named Sophia Ivano vitch and Anna Minify, who drove a regu lar trade in noxious drugs, and earned con siderable sums of money tnereby. Suspicion was first directed toward them by the evidenceofa beautiful young woman named Sraga Kukin, who, so long ago as 1882, killed her husband by poison, but who, being overtaken by remorse, gave heself up to the judicial 'authorities. The two fortune-tellers were arrested, but they have since died in prison, and the difficulties of gathering a sufficient body of evidence have caused the examination of this shocking case to drag its slow lengtn over a period of nearly seven years. ANCIENT SENSATIONS. Sophia Ivanovitch and.Anna Minify are the only descendants in turpitude ot the in famous Tophana or Toffania, a woman who, in the early years of the last century, re sided first at Palermo and then at Naples, where she combined the business of telling fortunes with that of selling poisonous drops, six of which were sufficient to kill a strong man. She distributed her murderous nos-J trums in small glass pnials labeled "Manna of St Nicholas of Bari," and it is a positive fact that the reputed saeredness of her wares enabled them to pass unquestioned through the Italian Custom Houses. Her wicked ness was at last made known, and Tophana, after flying from one convent to another, was at last arrested and thrown into prison. The clergy raised a loud outcry against this violation of sanctity, but a report having spread that the iniauitous fortune teller had poisoned all the springs in the city, public opinion became too strong for the clerical protectors of the horrible woman. It is said that she was strangled, but the "Viceroy of Naples, with a polite desire to conciliate the ecclesiastical authorities, caused the corpse of the sorceress to be thrown into the cloister of the convent which had been the last to give her refuge. SPAEA'S AWFUL CBIHES. She was not the first, even as she was not the last, oi the systematic Italian poisoners. The case of Hieronyma Spara, who was ex ecuted in Borne in 1659, bears even a closer resemblance to that of the Hungarian poison witches. In the Pontificate of Alexander TIL it was observed in the Eternal City that large numbers of young married women were left widows, and that many husbands died who had been notoriously disagreeable to their wives. Priests also declared, with out naming names, that several of their pen itents had acknowledged, under the seal of confession, that they had been guilty ot poisoning. The Government used its ut most vigilance to trace these disquieting events to their source, and at length bus- Iiicion fell upon a society of young married adies ot distinction, whose President was an old woman pretending to tell fortunes. To ascertain the truth a crafty female spy was sent to sound the old fortune teller, Spara, whom she succeeded in deluding to sell her some droos by means of which she was to rid herself from a cruel and tyran nical hnsband. Spara was racked, and with three of her female accomplices was afterward hanged, vainly crying on the Boman princes and barons and the noble ladies who had been her customers to help her in her extremity. Some months after ward several more women were executed for the like offense, some were whipp'ed and others banished the papal dominions; but, notwithstanding the severity of these pun ishments, the practice of secret poisoning was not by any means stamped out. As a matter of fact, the crime seems to be a chronic one. A. EEMAKKABLE CASE. The case of the Marchioness de Brinvil liers and her male confederates, which oc curred about ten years after the execution of La Spara, is too well known to need recapit ulation. The Briuvilliers seems to have worked principally on her own account, or at least for the benefit of two or three disso lute adventurers with whom she was con nected. There is little reason to doubt, moreover, that Marie Marguerite d'Aubray, Marchioness of Brinvilliers, was wholly or partially insane. In the confession found among her effects she acknowledged that she had begun her career of guilt at 7 years of age; that she had set fire to many houses, and that she had caused the death of several persons before she learnt the art of poisoning from an Italian charlatan. The execution of the French Medea was ineffectual to suppress the practice of secret poisoning. Numbers of people continued to die from time to time under most suspi cious circumstances, and the Archbishop of Paris learned from the cures of different parishes that poisoning confessions were still made, and the crime was still prevalent alike in rich and poor families. TWO TEBEXBLE TVOMEX. Tor watching, for searching after and punishing secret poisoners a special tribunal, known as the Chambre Ardente, was estab lished in 1679. This formidable court de tected, among other female criminals, two terrible women. La "Vigorieux and La Voi sine, who had long carried on an extensive traffic in deadly drags. Both of them pre tended to foretell future events, to call np ghosts and to teach the art of finding hidden treasures and recovering lost or stolen goods. They sold love-philtres and poison ous drops to women who wished either to get rid of bad husbands or to recover faith- less sweetheart". Female cariosity tedioed several ladles of high rank", and even some belonging to the court, to visit these hags without any positively criminal intent, but only foolishly desirous to know how soon a hnsband, a lover or even the King or his favorite was likely to die. The two fortune tellers were denounced by a maid-servant on the miserable matter of a month's dis puted wages, and in the possession of La Voisine was found a list of the grand o dames who had had dealings with them. La Voisine and La Tigorieux, after being sub jected to fearful tortures, were burnt alive in February, 1680, their hands having been previously bored through with a rtcfno't iron and then being cut off. '" HOW THEY WOBEED. The proceedings of the Chambre Ardente seem really to have eradicated the crime of secret poisoning in France; at least after the execution of the two last named criminals, nothing was heard of the once famous "joudre de succession." or heir-at-law's powder, used to accelerate the demise of wealthy persons, and which was believed to consist of diamond dost powdered exceed ingly fine. The Brinvilliers seemed to have used corrosive sublimate, regains of anti mony and vitrol. La Voisine worked prin cipally with antimony and sugar of lead, while the "Aqna Tophana" is said to be a mixture of opium, cantharides and arsenic These matters of detail are, however, of less moment than the curious and somewhat alarming fact that in all ages there appear to have been leagues of women established for the purpose of husband-poisoning; that the active agents In these murderous sister hoods have almost invariably been pre tended fortune tellers; and that almost as invariably they have been betrayed by a female accomplice. "While pastor of the Canton Church, New Jersey, some years ago, I temporarily lost my voice, and was in consequence un able to preach for nearly a year. Last spring I began to have all the symptoms of losing it again, I labored with great difficulty, fearing each time I preached wonld be the last. In July "I commenced using Br. Jayne's Expectorant, at the same time rub bing my throat and f hest freely with the liniment. I gargled my throat daily ac cording to the directions given inSr. Jayne's Almanac, at the same time taking the ex pectorant regularly. Feeling very much better, I discontinued the use of the gargle and the liniment, but still kept on with the expectorant. This winter I have been more exposed, and preach oftener than for many years past, and yet my voice seems to be growing stronger, and were it not for the re quirements of my calling, I firmly believe t permanent cure would be effected by the ex pectorant At all events the good it has done, and i'b doing me, makes me anxious to recommend it to all who are suffering from throat or lung complaints.1 Rev.
