MONACO: Jan.. 4, 1870,-Perched on a rock
rising three hundred feet' from the sea and
stretching like a. point into it, is the little town
of Monaco, nearly all that now remains. of the
for Mer• lts , on is -traced
back as far as 170013. C. Bence it was in ex-,
:Wince liefore,the Great Pyramid; before un
numbered. heroes gathered around the
of Troy.: before David and Solomon; before
Rome was'thought of: Whether it owes its
origin to Hercules of Thebes, as some authors
relate, or to the Menicians, who; raised there
a; temple to Hercules, cannot be certainly
known. Yet the large number of palm-trees
in the neighborhood indicates that the great
imarAime people of
. antitality once held pos
session of Monaco and the parts adjacent;, for .
it is well known that wherever they went they
endeavored to introduce this tree in connection
with :the worship of Hercules. Indeed, their
name seems to mean the:peoPle of the polar
tree, being' derived from the. Greek word
ph:midi' which is the name !of that tree.
But, whether the name of the people was de
rived from that of the tree; or the name of the
tree from the name of the people,' is a matter
of indifference so far as the presence of the
Phamicians at .Montico is concerned ; for both
went tbgether in early days..
Various authors refer to the "Port of Her
chles" or Monaco, as of considerable value for
a harbor of refOge in the many contests whipli
hive had place on the Mediterranean ; and
Cwsar ; embarked from 'it for Genoa after his
victory over Pompey's: adherents in Spain.
Augustus, too, left a lasting memorial of his
presence - near Monaco, in the famous tower at
Turbia, Which stands in ruined grandeur
WRY betiveen 'Nice and .Mentone, oil the sum
mit of the mountain,: and commands an entire
vievr of the ex-principality. of :Monaco. The
tower remained whole Until 1706, when the
French, considering it a fortification, destroyed
it at the sametime as the Chateau at. Nice.
Now but One-half is left standing, yet only, ou
a. near approach can one see• that one
side has been destroyed. The name
Turbia is said to be a degeneration of the
name Trophoa Augusti, which became
successively Tropea, Trapia, Turbia, and:
finally Turbia. A French: Abbe, however,
gave me another derivation a feW days ago.
He said that the tower ' was .. placed on the
dividing line of Italy and Gaul, and marked
the - bruits of the Province (since known as
Provence in France) on the east. Hence it
was called Turris vite, or Titr-vlie, which
naturally became Turbia.
' The family of Grimaldi, of which the head
is the reigning Prince of Monaco. has been in
posseSsion of the little State from OW to the
present time, and is therefore one of the most
ancient in 'Europe - . - Their - realms - were - won
for them by one Giballin Grimaldi, a noble of
Genoese origin, by abrilliant deed of arms ; and
though many years elapsed before his title was
undisputed, the original deed of gift haS never
been set aside. The occasion of his Valor was
briefly as follows
The Saracens havitig possesSed themselves
of this part of the world, the Count of Arles
determined to drive them from his dominions.
His attempt was successful: Their strongholds
were taken'aud razed to the ground, until they
were driven to take refuge in a range of rocky
mountains, that, on one side were almost per
pendicular, and on the other were not much
easier of approach, and hence were considered
inaccessible. , They managed, however, by
scaling these rocks, to gain a position .near
the sea,—which to them was of 'vital import
ance—and whilst gathering all their forces
together in these desolate regions, hope, which
bad began to fade,revived among them. On
the, other band, wearied by such persistent op
position, ever moving, but gaining no ground,
the Christian troops began to despond and to
urge their commanders to give up so hopeless a
contest. Giballin Grimaldi, however, who had
already distinguished himself on former' occa
sions, could not endure the thought of letting
the aracens remain at peace and liberty to go
on with their cruelties. He iesolved on a final
attempt, and imparted, his enthusiasm to his
command. In the dead of night heled on his
fdrlorn hope. In order to surprise the enemy,
be determined to scale the perpendicular side
of the rock. This was successfully done, as
there was no watch to give waruiug of his ap
proach. in safety and unnoticed the summit
was reached, and the result fulfilled the wildest
hopes of the brave and valiant soldier. lie
gained a complete. victory; and before sun
rise the ' Whole of the 'Saracens had
perished. His brilliant services were recom
pensed by the Count of Arles, who conferred
on Lim as fret' land the coast between St.
'Trapez and Frejus. The deed of gift was
drawn up and executed in September, 080,
and it ' was 'net until 1338 that a Grimaldi
could be said to be entire lord and master of
Monaco. From this last date, however, the
territory so given .has formed a miniature
State r with palace, and court, and mint, and
army, and dock-yard, and all the parapher
nalia of its neighbors; repeated in little. It has
been, alternately, the ally and enemy of France.
and Italy; to the former of which it has
given many famous and successful generals and
admirals. Its harbor and port give it a value
far beyond what its population or wealth would
justify ; hence its alliance has been courted by
the most powerful States in Europe, whose
rulers have sought by intermarriage with its
royal family, and gifts and pensions to its dis
tinguished members, to bind Monaco to their
interests.
The territory comprising the Principality is
hardly a bow-shot across, anti a modern rifled
cannon could have raked it from end to end
even in its best days. It used to contain three
towns—Monaco, the capital, Roccabruna and
lientone. These now contain a population of
about 8,060 ; but the town which gives name
to the Principality is the only one of the three
now remaining to the Prince,Lthe other two
having achieved their • independence in 1848,
after having been oppressed for thirty years
under a despotism more grinding, indiscrimi
nate and comprehensive than can be paralleled
in modern times. That their independence
should have been achieved without firitip• a
abet or spilling a drop of blood, is the most re
• markable event in ,the history of this State.
Though the, empire of Monaco is so small in
extent, the passions of its rulers bare been as
great as those which have affected the desti
nies of larger States.. The :same ostentation,
extravagance, vice;' crime, folly and heroism
adorn its annals as are always recorded where
men have rule.. We have not to do with these
now. We propose only ' to draw attention to
one of the oldest, as it is the smallest, of the
European States ; and one, too, if report
speaks true, which will be absorbed;i on the
death of the present ruler, into the increasing
empire of France.
Situated on the shores of the Mediterranean
• 'between France and Italy, with' the Maritime
Alp to protect it from the snow and cold
winds of winter, while the southern exposure
_..gives it the full benefit of a bright sun, the
Principality of Monaco offers the sight of
tropical trees,flowers and fruits in the midst of
• winter. In the garden of the Palace, at the
mason :When our own gardens are but black
end and, iron-bound 'deserts, or heaps of
snow; 'every flower that we know; as glass

ing better, than those of Sicily or Corsica. ,The
trees are incessantly bearing, and you will con
stantly see the, bud, the flower, the young fruit,,
and the ripe yellow lemon on the same tree at
one time. The fruit' is gathered fonr times a
year, and carried down in baskets from the
bill' to the town on' the heads of the peasant
women. The oranges are not. so fine as those
of Spain' or Malta - , - but - they are very-good-if
left long enough on the tree ;. but they are not
exported, nor, in fact., grown in the same
quantities as the lenion. The blood orange
and the. Mafidarine both grow plentifully; as
well as the bitter orange, the ehinois and the
citron. A good orange-tree produces about
3,000 oranges. Essences and scents are manu
factured in large quantities. .You will ma
sionallyr-throughout this , whofe,region, meet,
slieds erected or old buildings used for the
piirPose of peeling oranges for'the sake of the
peel, while the pulp is kept for feeding cattle:
It is hardly necessary to say that this region
abounds in flowers of every. sort:, Yet even
expectation the most enlarged is likely :to be
surpassed when one sees from the beginning of
January till the end of March the ground per
fectly carpeted with violets anti wild flowers,
of kinds too numerous to recount, growing in
profusion wherever one may go.
Mentone is so protected and sheltered•that
its climate is peculiarly adapted for people suf
fering from diseases of the lungs: The mistral
rarely penetrates here; and the mistral—a
northwest wind, the coldest; dreariest, most •
suicide-provoking institution on record—is the
preventive to the climate in the. South of
France attaining perfection. . •
There is, however, one institution—a modern
one—which, while it renders Monaco attractive
to mere pleasure-seekers, is looked 'upon with
an evil eye by the more Christian and moral
members of Nice society. We mean the casino
or gambling.bon§e.
After the loss of the major part of his do
minions iff..lS4B, it may well be supposed that
the revenues of. Monaco, now reduced to some-
thing less than three and a half miles in ex
tent, the longest.way of reckoning, and to less
than 2,000 'inhabitants, all told, would hardly
suffice to inaintain a very large imperial estab
lishment. Accordingly, when in 1556. M.
Blanc, director and,proprietor,of the gambling
establishments at Homburg and Baden-Baden;
, proposed to the Prince to build •a casino on
the same principles and With the same attrac
tivendditions as. exist at those places, the pro
position was gladly accepted, and an arrange-.
merit was entered into by which 31...81anc was
to hold a lease for sixty years of the land
called the Spelflgnes,' across the port from the
town, where he was to build a casino and
anything else lie liked, on the payment of
50,000 francs a year to the Prince of MonacO.
The building is very handsome, though. plea;
there is a reading-rooth, with periodicals and
*mils of almost every country; a magnifi
cent ball-room, where an Austrian band
plays daily from two four and from
eight to ten. • Balls are given occasionally, as
well as concerts and theatricals. The grounds
are delightful; the Terrace alone is worth go
ing to see. When the full moon rises out of
the blue waters and casts a beam cf light across
'from the horizon to the very feet of the bluff
on which the spectator stands, and, bathing the ,
peaks and jutting rocks of the mountains in a
flood of light, casts dark shadows over the re
entrant angles, softeninr , all, and giving a
wierd mystery to the darkolive groves in which
the breeze restlessly murmurs, and milting the
white sails in the foreground spectres, it is hard
to believe that estates are lost and hearts
broken in the' gilded rooms near at hand. And
yet all the beauties of nature,
.of sky and
water, of drib and heaven, are made subser
vient to llannnon ; and for one who comes
down on the evening train from Nice, twelve
miles distant, to gaze upon the wondrous beau
ties of the place, hundreds come intent only
on the excitement of the gaming tables, or the
intrigues attendant .upon' the wild chase for
suddenly-gotten wealth.
But the casino is a new institution at
Monaco. There is an interest in the place be
sides that which clusters around SpelOgnes.
The people are neither rich nor poor. Poverty,
as we see it in other places, does not exist here
at all. The people will, beg for a son more
from habit than anything else; but all are well
clothed; well shod, and well fed. Hardly any
one exists that does not possess his own little
plot of land, the produce of which is amply
sufficient for his simple wants. . Those who
own hundreds of olives will ask you for charity
as persistently as those who perhaps can boast
but of one as their patrimony. Begging is no
sign of want here. Society there is none; a
few retired officers and those who surround te
Prince and his family coinpose the better class.
As the Prince is totally blind, but little hospi
tality is dispensed at the palace, on aecouut of
his ailliction. We may add, however, that the
present small State does not furnish the entire
resources of the present ruler. As we have
already said, the major part of the Principality
succeeded in gaining its independence in 1848,
and claimed and obtained ' the protection o
Sardinia. When Nice and Savoy were an
nexed to France a few years ago, Roccabruna
and Mentone were also offered the opportunity
of annexation ; and though it went sorely
against the grain, it was the best solution of
the dOliculty which offered, and the result of
the ballot was 695 votes in favor and only 54
against it. • Of course, the deposed ruler pro-.
tested against this decision, and claimed in-!
denmity ;- he was, however, pacified, and put
his dignity in his pocket in comfortable
proximity to $BOO,OOO, which France allowed
him. By this cession or annexation, the
original states were reduced to their present
dimensions, and perhaps no better deScription
of their extreme smallness can be given than
that gathered from the following statement :
When the railroad company engaged in the
construction bf the road from Nice-to Genoa
began to enter on the question of purchasing
the land for cutting the line in the territory be
longing to the little Principality, the people,
well aware that France must fulfil her agree
ment for it to pass through Monaco, demanded
such exorbitant sums for their land that the
company at once refused to pay The peo
ple held out, feeling certain that in the end they
would receive what they asked; till one day it
was rumored that the railway, being bound to
run through Monaco, would do so, but that,
they would tunnel the line through the Princi ,
panty. The feasibility of the plan was evident;
and this cunning way of fulfilling their con
tract at once brought the Monakians to their
senses, and they accepted payment at the same
rate as the Mentonaises.
On Good Fiiday a singular custom prevails
at - Monaco. It is the performance of the
Passion of our Lord." At nine at night the
town is illuminated, and the chapel attached
to the palace is decorated. A procession is
then formed by the people of. the town, who
represent the various actors iu the scene. First,
Conies a tribune on horseback, followed by
soldiers with caps on their heads and spears in
their hands. Then conies the Christ; he is
weeping as if overcome with sorrow, and walks
With his head bent down. Then a man
proaehes him and delivers him up to be boUnd
and • scourged, and covered with a purple man
tle. The cock is then beard to crow. Herod is pre
sent, carrying an absurd looking umbrella over
his head. Peter i 9 seen to brandish his sword,
i and Malchus rubs his ear and then points to it.
The eandennaing Judge is repre.sefited, and
washes his hands, The soldiers then cast lots
garnients, and the executioner prepares
for,:wbat be has to do. Tben , the tePrBseut ,6-

scene is followed by a proceSSfon, which passes

.A sermon on the Passlon.concludes the exhi-,
bition. The. people, in theifignOrance ' are
earnest enough,.and it would fare ill with any
one amongst the crowd, which
. generally as
sembles from all parts of the country to wit
ness the ceremony, were anything 'like scoff
ing or laughter to be seen, The Bishop of
Nice is said to have protested against' the con
tinuation of this 'custom, but as yet his protest
has been disregarded.
We left Monaco with regret. It was so
little, so old, so queer, so sturdy, so self-satisfied,
and withal so full of interest, that we
looked wistfully back as the ' train
moved under the projecting. . rocks
that bid it from sight. Its , local histories
and heroes are its national histories and heroes,
and love of country and country's heroes is in
tensified where these blend and become one
with love of home and kindred. The people
are not ashamed, but proud of their peculiari
ties. They have a right to them ; and as they
are all , neighbors, they do not feel the necessi
