' |for the rhiladetrblOSwniiiui aotMifa.J ;' ! A DAY AT VK9IIOK. •; j . '■ T —~— !; — ■ ■ 4; ’ ■While wo were at Trieste a proposition was started that the party should go over to Venice for a day or two. Jt was already pretty late when we decided to go, and consequently wo htid to take what accommodations we could get. The Austrian Lloyds’ steamer Venezia kaß' otily two state-rooms, each with lour berths, and thcße, we learned, had been en gaged by some ollicers of the American Irigate Franklin,■then at Trieste during the torpedo experiments at the Austrian naval station of Tuiino, near aVband. Our accommodations Were, therefore, .somewhat unsatisfactory. The after-cabin, where iirst-class passengers are quartered,is simply a large saloon, around which extends a transom furnished with ensbions. This is the bed of tho passengers, and here they stretch out as best they can. If the little hole called a “ladies’ cabin’’ happens to he full, perhaps one or two forlorn women may ’be turned in among, the rather mixed multitude already in the saloon. It is really amazing that European steam boats are so utterly lacking in con veniences, and (I bad almost said) the neces saries of life. At. the very time that people aretoost in want of privacy, .attendance and refreshment, away as they are from home, friends and country, they are subjected to additional annoyances, which might easily he prevented. Our American periodicals oc casionally wax indignant over the little re gard paid to the wants of the public by rail road and steamboat men, and sneeringly refer to the ignorance of the great patient victim of extortion,who unmurimiringly bears the impo sitions of rapacious corporations. Very good; by such means abuses are checked and im provements continually made on our lines ol passenger traflie. But. over here, so long as the rich and great are provided for, hut little heed is taken of that great public wliosc woes are so feelingly set forth by our enterprising journalists. We have almost determined never to murmur any more, if we get home,at any discomfort or annoyance that we may meet with, but to make them merely occa sions of felicitation at ' having escaped the greater woes of European travel. We qianaged to secure a piece of transom about three feet long for each of us, and « made believe” sleep, but were all awakened about four o’clock in the morning by the clatter of dishes in the saloon, where the steward was settingthe table to furnish codec and eggs to such as might desire them before going ashore. Our naps had been many during the night, hut our sleep very little, and we ■were really glad-of agobd excuse for getting up “lor good,” as the hoys say; After a cup of coffee, we lit our cigars and went upon deck in the gray morning, to see Venice rise out of the sea. AVo were running by the side of a long low island or mud bank, across which in the distance wo could see the steeples and towers of churches and palaces, apparently Tialf submerged. We ran up to tlio end of our Island, turned around into a small bay, from thence into the mouth of the Grand Canal, set all the steam-whistles blowing, and relied ■ frantically into the peerless city. As wo passed on our way we observed aii unexpected sight—that there are several fafr sized gardens surrounding Some of the resi dences. The land is elevated eight or ten feet above,the water, probably by tilling in, and water-faced with cut stone,which is discolored ■ and somewhat shaky by the lapse ol time. Many mud-banks also rise just, above the sur face of the Lagoon, but as all tvero dripping tret "when we passed them, and gave no sign -.of grass or ■weeds, wo concluded that there i2tat;t be tide enough to drain the city. Several • disrejiUitable-lookiug sons of Neptune were iprowlW over these banks, with a basket and a liook\ apiece, seeking oysters, clams, peri winklesKor something else to devour. Little narrow sVreets or alleys extended up between thd rbrys pif houses, and calm ditches, the fa mous canals\of Venice, lay muddy under the sombre shade of overhanging walls and bah conies. Arrived at the middle of tin; city, wo tied Up to a buoy, just oil' ilie Ducal Palace, and were at once surrounded by long, black, •\drigout” looking boats, whose bows, rose up in a graceful curve arid terminated in an or nament resembling a saw. These are the'fa mous gondolas of Venice. A clamor arose, hut soonhue by one the boats >vere permitted to coihe the. pussongers got. in them, party by party, designated- their hoi,els, and were carried away. When we" arrived at our hotel it proved unsatisfactory, stud a de tachment was sent out, to discover another, while the remainder of the party got an early breakfast. It was not quite six o’clock in the morning when we took our first walk in Venice, and few people were about. Passing up the narrow 'street (abouto feet wide) which was in front,or behind,or on the sido or our hotel,whoso other three sides were reached.by canals, we turned through an archway that, seemed to give access to an open space,amU'ound our selves in the famous St. Mark’s Square. Be fore us, at a distance of two hundred yards, was a lowest of oriental domes and spires and pinnacles, of columns, buttresses and arches, surmounting, clusteflng around,and springing lightly from a comparatively low mass of buildings, in every niche of which, on every corner and ledge, were statues arid carving, while vaulted recesses and exposed faces glowed with golden mosaics ; and as the eye passed from pinnacle to statue or picture, each feature seemed to grow light aud melt away in the morning air, and give place to some-other more bountiful. The magnifi cence was of a kind entirely new to our eyes. Wi: were in front of tlie Church Of -St. Mark, The attraction was irresistible. We forgot the hotel and tlie rest of tlie party and our. errand, and our carefully-arranged plan for seeing the city in regular-order, and crossed the spacious square (well-tUiggcdttbroughout) ' to see this marvel of medin-viil taste, and Skill before it should vanish away. As we came near we observed over the centre archway the lour beautiful bronze horses brought from Constantinople in twelve hundred aud some thing, aud coveted by the great Napoleon for his capital, whence they were returned after his downfall. There are two pair of horses, though each statue stands separately on its own pedestal. The two outside ljorses turn their heads towards each other, while the two between them turn their heads, with a graceful curve of the neck, towards tlie outer horse nearest each. , We entered the vestibub? of the church by an immense arcliw” by itn iuiini tude of small columns of various Colored iuar blea, said to have been collected from all parts of the Mediterranean world. The 'vestibule extends across the w hole front of the church, . audits'vaulted'ceiling is embellished with . gilt mosaics, as is also the vaulted root of the interior of the church. Drawing aside the heavy blanket which always hangs in front of MiedoorofKuropeanltomanCatholicCJhurches, : ' we looked within. Massive square pillars sup ' jport the nave; chapels retire from the aisles Jnio a mellow darkness; the floor is worn into ■hollows l>y the feet of successive generations ! hTom the deep altar Teeess at the farther end of the church came the hum of voices going through the early service, while in the corners and obscure recesses an occasional kneeling figure, sllept as a statue, produced an impres sion of solemnity befitting tlie House of (1 oil ... fad**' i-nß'.. 1 JBnshed and awed, we felt mo curiosity to ox amino tflcbuihiint at thallium, ami we turned , and went out of the .cliuroli. ■ The situ was 1 beginning to .jwsP 0W> r * ho :i iiuildingk mid shine Sown into\the square. Before us',a littldtotlitflcft.wiiS'thecampanilo or heir tower of the Cathedral, a brick struc ture three hundrctl fcetiiigh add more. “We looked towards its lofty summit,and it seemed to luovn through the sky as the fleecy clouds were hastening away before tho rising sun. On onr left was the Piazetta, or Little Square, flanked on one side by tho Doge’s Palace and on the other by the Royal Palace, and termi nating at ouo end in the Squaro of St. Mark and the other at the Grand Canal, where it is joined, by the (tuidecea. Between the two columns near tlio canal, one of which is sur mounted by the winged Lion of St. Mark, and the other by a statue of fit. Theodore, the Patron Saint of Venieo before St., Mark, we had an extended view far over the Lagoon and out- to sea, where two or three small sails were whitening in the early day. Bofore us was the square, one-third narrower at the end opposite the church than at its doors, (being 1)77 feet long," 1881 feet wido at one end and 2703 l'eet wide■ atfl;he other), but with the hell tower So skilfully placed that the irregu larity does not strike the eye. On each side and at the end opposite us wore magnificent buildings,of uniform height and tho same rich style of architecture; carved-work .embellish ing architrave, frieze and cornice; statues de corating every projection, and columns giving grace and lightness to massive masonry. Arches open to streets or canals beyond, and there were enough servants and laborers mov ing about by this time to give an air of life and reality to wliat else had appeared a iairy scene. A fairy scene in daytime! even so, a fairy scene in. daytime. Such it was when we confessed tho Piazza to bo wliat tin 1 Vene tians call it, "the finest square in the world.” While we were admiring the square and its buildings, wo heard a clock, strike on our right, and locking around, we saw another object of interest which we had not before observed. This was the Clock Tower. On its top a large bronze figure of a man was heaving up a large hammer, with which a bell was struck, while a, figure' of the same size, correspondingly placed on the other side of the hell, seemed to approve of his brother’s aetioiis. On the frbnt of tho tower below these figures was the clock face, with two twelve-hour spaces encircling it. In one sido a movable scroll indicated the hours-in Roman capitals, and on the other side a like scroll indicated the minutes in figures'. Be tween the clock-face and the hell was the omnipresent gilt lion of St. Mark, pressing against the wall as though to keep from fall ing off the ledge on which it is placed. At the foot of the tower is an archway, through which we could see the perspective of a street, which seemed’ in a hurry to get around the corner. This remark haying been made by one of tlie party, recalled ns to tho object of our early start. We therefore secured rooms In hotel on the Squtiro, and after making the necessary arrangements, started out with the guide for a more critical examination of the famous city. And first of all we'ascended the hell tower, whence the whole city could be seen. There it was, a very queen! How unlike other cities ! Instead of green fields and vine-clad hills and leafy gardens, such as great cities Jove lo'surround themselves with, we had a wide expanse of waters, (Jotted liereandthere With islands on which wore churches, facto ries, prisons,or fishermen’s huts,’and away oft to the north and east tho rugged mountains of the main land, looking as 'though sullenly re strained from domination over the sons ol their former inhabitants, who had hjft their inhospitable sides for the. tenderer mercies of the treacherous waves. Prom one point the city stretches out a friendly baud to the main land. A viaduct more than two miles long (K),fi2l feet) connects Venice with the neigh boring shore, and gives her those indispensa- Ides.of modi:rn life—vai.lroad .eotuinuiiication and a supply-of fresh water. Prom the campanile we saw'it extending out jh the Lagoon, till,a mere thread in the dim’distance, it mi mod to sink exhausted at the foot of the hills, while a small wreath of smoke curling above tho middle of the bridge gave an anima tion to the scene by telling us of the' rushing train with its prcciohs freight of human lives. lint though we were three hundred teet high above the middle of the city, we couhl make out but little of the plan of the town. ’The narrow streets could he' distinguished but a short distance, aid, save tho Grand Canal, t ‘avnszzio,and Guidccca, the special feature of Venice, its canals, could not he seen at; all At two or'three points we observed a few tree-tops peering above tho roofs, indicating tlie position of the squares and promenades, or the few gardens of which the city can boast. There were no small houses observa ble, or rather none of one or two stories— building-room is too scarce for that : nor, on the other baud, are the houses unusually high Pour or five stories are generally all they aspire to, and from the position we occupied the roefs seemed on llic same level, unless it were a church, or tower, or dome of a public build ing, which gave agreeable diversity to a view that, had otherwise been monotonous. Tho town seemed small from our lofty look-out, hut. in reality it covers more ground, or rather water, or perhaps wo had better say mrfae'e, ! than most, old cities of 123,000 inhabitants. This is due partly-to tile unusual number of public, buildings, palaces and oluireluis, and partly io the necessity of building apart so as to leave room for canals. Among the -foal tires of tho town that strike ' one as characteristic is its silence.. As there arc no broad carriage-ways, there are neither drays, wagons, carriages, nor -horses—not even a donkey—and consequently none of the rumble and roar of business. Tho inhabitants move about.in gondolas or on foot; but the putter of the legt upon the pavement is a very mild roar, and suggests the gentleness of friendly intercourse, as the noise of carts hor rifies by bringing hi lore the mind the hard ness.of business'. ’’ Charming Venice haw none of those dismal noises which drive frantic a man of art. A' gentle hum ,like. that of the summer bee about •a favorite flower, rises and falls upon the ear and soothes to repose. A liand-organ of am bitious voice ean he heard half across the town. The domestic animals, the dog and the Oat , are the only .quadrupeds,- aud may here tight out their long-standing domestic quarrel fearless ut interruption. , Of course, all food must lie. brought from a distance, and,in fact,all the necessaries of life. As we were going down the Grand Canal in a gondola, our boatman requested permission to stop and get a drink. Permission being given, he-proceeded to a point neartho iron bridge, where three old scows wero sunk down to the water's .edge, .-.He .drew,his fang dug-out looking boat to the side of tlio scow, took aeup from a recess of hiß_gon;;ana 'We iitecklonU ally heard one of the U.

Nar row streets, very crooked, are more numerous than in any city-wo have visited, and the canals are used only Where w?carriagO or a Wagon would be required elsewhere.” One can go anywhere and every where on foot, and he oblivious of canals, save when crossing a bridge, or, what is very \ seldom required, a ferry.. Then again, almost any houso can, ho reached by canal. That is, the .houses have one front on the streets and another on the water. What would be the alleys of an ordi nary city are canals in: Venice,' unless it lie the Grand Canal, Which is the noairi street, while the streets then become alleys. As. ono can traverse the city on loot and see nothing of canals, save when crossing abridge, so can one traverse the city by canal and see nothing of streets, save when passing under a bridge. The water is not deep in Venice, nor the canals wide. Probably four feet is the aver age' depth, save in the main arteries, and from six to ten feet the average widthij The bridges are stone arebe.s, hardly high enough to pass under, even when sitting down in the boat, Without bending the head. HARPER'S MAGAZINE FOR DKCEM. HER. The great card for the inonthin this brilliant, magazine is the commencement of a historical study, intended to last through the year, of the life of Frederick the Great. We will extract a passage to show the style, which reads like that of one of the Abbott brothers. The illustra tions so beautifully- engraved for Carlyle’s “Frederick” are murdered for this issue, and several others, designed express, are added. Would they were worthier. With this number commences the fortieth volume. A novel by Mr. Lawrence, author of “Guy Livingstone,” will be commenced in the January number.

G. Linton; Editor’s Easy Chair, Lit erary; Record, Scientific Record, Historical Re cord and Drawer. From “ Frederick ” we extract; as an appro priate introduction, ah account of the hero's father, the bluff and brutal Frederick’ William, one of the strangest charaeters-in history : FUKIIKIiICK WII.T.IAM OF FUFS.SIA, FATIIKIi OF FHEDIHMI K TIJIS CHEAT. The new monarch, who assumed the crowti with the title of Frederick William, not with that of Frederick 11.. to the utter conster nation of the'court, dismissed nearly every honorary official of the palace, from the highest dignitary to the humblest page. liis Hashing eye’ and . determined , manner were so appalling' that no one ventured to re monstrater • A clean sweep was made, * sot that the household was reduced to the lowest footing of economy consistent with the supply of indispensable wants. Eight serv- . ants were retained at six shillings a week. His father had thirty pages. All were dismissed lmt three. There were one thousand. saddle horses in the royal stables, Frederick - William kept thirty. T hree-fourths of the names were stiuek from the petision-list. Thus rigidly the king went on through every department of ad lniiiistrative and household expenses, until they were reduced to below a fifth of what they had been under his father. For twenty-seven years this strange man reigned, lie was like no other monarch. Great wisdom and shrewdness were blended with unutterable folly arid almost maniacal madness.. Though a man of strong powers of mind, he was very illiterate. lie certainly had some clear views of political economy. Car lyle says of him: “His semi-articulate papers and rescripts on these subjects are still almost, worth leading by a lover of genuine human talent, in the dumb form. For spelling, gram mar. penmanship and composition—they re semble nothing else extant—are as if done by the paw of a hear; indeed, the utterance gene-, rally sounds more like the growling of a bear than anything that could be handily spelled or patsed. But there is a decisive human sense in the heart, of it; and there is such a dire hatred of empty bladder.?, unrealities and hypo critical forms and pretences, which he calls wind and humbug, as is very strange indeed.” His energy inspired the whole kingdom and paved the way for the achievements of ids son. The .lather created the machine with which the son attained such wonderful results. He commuted the old feudal service into a fixed money payment. 1 lie goaded the whole realm into industry,compelling even the apple-women to knit at the stalls. The crown lauds vj'ers carefully fanned out. IJe'drained bogs.planted manufactures', aud in every wajfencouraged the use of Prussian pro ducts. He carried with .him invariably a stqut ratan cane. Upon the slightest provocation, like a madman, he would thrash those Tvlfa dis pleased Idm. lie was|thoroughly an arbitrary king, ruling at his sovereign will, and disposing of the liberty, the property, and the lives of • his subjects at-his pleasure. Every year 'he was accumulating large inasses of coin, which he deposited in bands in the cellar of Ufa palace.- Ho had no powers of graceful speech, hut spent his energetic, joyless life in grum bling and growling. The Prussian Minister, baron Pollnitz, in » letter from Berlin, dated June 0,1720, writes : “The king’s prime minister is the king him self, who is informed .of every thing and is de sirous to know every thing. He gives great application to business, but does it with Ex traordinary ease; and nothing escapes his p6u,- etration nor his memory, which is a very happy one. ' No sovereign in the world is of more easy access, his subjects being actually per mitted to write to him without any other for mality thaiy superscribing the letter To ille limy. By writing underneath, To be delivered into . Ms..Majesty’* own hands, one may be sure that, the king receives and, reads it, and tlfat, the next” post he will answer it, either with his own hinds or by his secretary.! These answers are short, but per-! emptory. Ther(i is no town in all the King,of Prussia’s dominions, except Neufchatel, where he,has not, been; no province which he does not know full well; nor a court of justice but he is acquainted with its chief members.” Fully conscious that the respect which would - be paid to liiin as a European sovereign greatly depended upon the number of meii ho could bring into the field of battle, Frederick William devoted untiring energies to rhe creation of an srnijr. % the Most severe ec t T<>NB OB V Chalk.
