without warning. We, squeezed . between wheels; dodged briskly under horseS' 'beads ; crept cautiously around their heels and were in continual dread of being run over, or bitten, or kicked to death, of lassoed by whip or reins. It might be fun in the green field, where there is plenty of room, or where there is some place of safety, such as a footpath ; but, in the muddy streets of drenched Borne, bn the first ' day of the Carnival, when you have had no sleep for more than thirty hours, and liut an indifferent breakfast, and are looking for, rooms which, are so plenty that you can't get any in pattieular, it is not fun at all to any but a very funny fellow indeed. 'But the energy of the Practical Member was something marvelotts.' We could only repress our feelings, and follow submissively where she led. We never knew before how yesigned we Could be. We always supposed ourselves to have the ordinary amount of self-assertion; and "a will of our• own." But already the unquestioning submission required of good Romans had possessed us, and we went meekly from door to door, and climbed lofty stairs un murmuringly, and uttered the stereotyped phrases of question and answer, and made-our - report. Only the first house excited remark— a remark that all were entitled to, but which, once made, it was unnecessary- to repeat. " What a dirty entrance'.—what dirty passage's and stairs :7 And they laere dirty, they are dirty, and probably will be always dirty. 'As our friend remarked—the source who told us that carriages have the right of way— "if yon could put an American house down in Rome, they would think it one of the mansions of the new earth." Carriages and people come Into the building by the same passage, generally—a passage which is for all. the world like the street, only darker and dirtier, because no beneficent rain falls on it, owing to the super-posed stories of the 'house. The stairs lead up from story to story, and are the common passage-way for all inhabitants of the house and all tradespeople,servants, pedlars, monks, beggars, thieves, and the world beside. No person feels interested in keeping them clean; and they go on accumulating dirt from year to year, and from generation to genera tion. " You have a very good entrance," said one of our friends to another, one day. "Yes, be replied, " it is put in the bill." And so every advantage is put in the bill; but nu dis cotint is made for disadvantages. The "modern conveniences "'do not abound, and people soon learn at Rome "how little they really need'' in the way of " quarters," as our military peo ple are fond of calling their residence. Our first impression of Rome—that is, 'our after-breakfast impression—is one of a single dirty entrance, from whicb,rises a single dirtier stairway into an infinite succession of rooms so Ac t ueb alike %Nit you cannot tell them apart. One !window in a room, tt 14t , Of rickety furni ture, a voluble landlady expatiating on the sun and the Carnival and her late lodgers, in all 'tongues but those used at the dispersion from Babel. How seedy.it all was, and how impos- Aible for us to live ten days In such pretentious and uncomfortable rooms. We so expressed 'ourselves to the Practical Member, whereupon she said, "Very well; we'll try this , place of which I have the address, as we are not likely to find anything better." In short, we went, saw, rented, and occupied iu less than an hour. Then came the question of how to live after all. We had, it is true, rooms ; but to go up and down those everlasting stairs, two or three times a day, to get something to eat, was not in our programme. But, again, the Practical Member was equal to the emergency. She looked at her notebook, and turned, in an absent-minded way, down the first cross street; scanned the numbers on the door-posts and turned into a dark entry, above which, in fat Roman letters, was the sign of "English Dairy." There, a few minutes' conversation resulted in an order to have milk, butter and eggs sent to our rooms in stated quantitiesevery morning. Then an ''English baker" agreed to send of his wares every morning. Then a grocer received his orders ;'and.then, crowning acheivinent of all, we boldly entered a restau rant, where they advertise to "serve dinners to apartments," and gave an order which would have brought us into merited contempt with a hotel proprietor,. but which, nevertheless, pro eured ample supply for our wants. And now, behold us established, and at liberty "to do Rome at our leisure." We will only add, as the conclusion of this recital, that an experienced person might have accomplished our three hours' work in less than forty minutes. We, could now do It our .seives in that time. . So far we had not seen much of Rome; a few ruins as we approached the city; a few dirty streets of modern-built houses, but with a look of premature age, like the young wife of an old, old man; monuments here and there, made up of some ancient statue or column, set upon a comparatively new base, with a grand inscription recording that the old parthad been purged from its had associations, and set up by such or such a Point!' to commemorate some event, decree, dogma, or the beneficent reign of the good man who had reconciled his love of art and antiquity with his Christian zeal in the preservation of the work henceforth coupled with his liable. either had we seen the open ing of the Carnival by the Senator, which all the world desired to see. It would never do to see nothing the first day. We mast take a walk or a ride to the Piazza del Papal°, or Piazza di Spagna, or somewhere else, The Forum was too far olf; so was the Coliseum; so was St. Peter's. But why not go down to the Corso and see the Carnivak—that gay and brilliant scene which had been so often de scribed, and which more to the young Eng lish damsel Making the grand tour than ever' her first Ball was? Yes, we would stroll down to the Corsa. taking good care not to be run over on our way, and being on our guard against Mud showers from advancing steeds. Our first glimise of the Carnival was a mul titude of bags. baskets and boxes containing confetti, and trees of bouquets, all roe sale to participants. We were sothewhat sur s prised to, hear no noise as we approached the corner of the Corso and (lei COndetti, the centre of festivities. We supposed that if much fun was going on, t here must be some laughing Or shouting; but although the r ople were al , • most a crowd, only a mild murmur rose from them, and gave us the impression that the * min or something else hail bad a depres s i ng effect upon' their hilarious spirits. And iu truth 'it Seemed but. the ghastly skeleton of a festival— THE ,DAILY EVENING BULLETIN 2 -PIii,LADELPHIA , MONDAt MARCH 21,1870. • a skeleton brought forth into the open day in a vain effort to reelothe it in flesh and : cause it to' Nothing more tame and Insipid, not to say stupid; could well be irnagined. than the Carni yal 'as we first saw if. The balconies and win dows had been gaily dressed in red, but occa sional showers had caused the removal of most of the cloths, leaving the fringe tied fast with limp and bedraggled ribbons and, flutter ing ends of strings, while the rough boards which made the framework, of the temporary canopies were half bare. A mob of roughly dressed men and boys, such as hang around street-corners and beg, or rush frantically to open the door of a carriage which is stopping , before a store, in the hope of receiving a stray copper, were sauntering up and down the Corso, in the mud, well floured With c,onfetti-. a forlorn and piteous spectacle of creatures who had gone out ibr . wool and were going home—if they had • any homes—shorn. On time dismantled balconies above were occasional English or American youths intent on throw ing down upon the street below their daily' allowance of confetti, indifferent whether it fell on head& or shoulders or in the mud. They must get through it, and so down it went by handfuls, by tin-cupfuls, or by the scoop ful. It was a make-believe, a sham, a mock ery, very spiritless and dull, about which the Rpmans shrugged their shoulders in the vain endeavor to comprehend how the strangers found it amusing. So did we; and as we saw the few figures which had graced the balconies disappear, one by one, through the doors and windows, when the baskets and boxes of con fetti had, been emptied, until almost none re mained, we concluded that it was not alto.; gether our fatigue which deprived the festival of its churn, but that the spirit of the thing had gone ; and as its glory had departed long since, we had been present at its burial, and saw reared over the tomb of the Carnival the fitting epitaph : IcnAnon. • TILE EINE ARTS, Industrial hlne•Arts for Women. That instruction which can fortify the indi gent or the self-reliant of the female sex— whether we take the resourceless young I min who must otherwise "prick.back death with the needle-point,7 or the prouder spirits that disdain a dependent position and seek a means of self-support—is surely one de serving every attention and assistance;- and the peculiar conditions of American society, involving a large and increasing proportion of feinales who 'are desirous of living in respeetk bility without reliance on a husband's re sources, make the encouragement of such in struction obligatory on, every community, and the elevation and methodizing of it alit task. for the wisest heads among us. The arts of design have sonaothing feminine in their very essence, which naturally attracts the attention of many young ladies. The powers of the two sexes, during the forma tive period Of life, appear about equal for this kind of training, 'with probably a slight over, balancing in favor of the school-girl over It. schoolboy. And it is one of the most obvious of outlooks for the indigent Young woman, on leaving the seminary where she has been freely educated on the beneficent American system, to contemplate a dey - elbpment of the drawing-lessons, which she remembers with pleasure, into a means of self-support. There is in this city an institution of the first class, which is fulfilling to admiration the functions of a Iliumal School for instruction in the arts of design, and of an ,industrial school for several applications of the fine-arts. We refer to the Philadelphia School of Design for Women, on northwest Penn Square, with which the accomplished Principal, Mr. T. W. Braidwood, has alWays, by a certain origi nality of method and, energy of character, identified himself in a personal and quite pe culiar manner. We have examined this insti tution very thoroughly, as well as the best examples of similar schools in Europe, and we are • not certain but that the establishment in Philadelphia is more credit able, and better adapted to the surrounding conditions of society, than any of them. It is, of course, a mere infant in swaddling-bands, if we compare it with that noble and harmon ious system of art-assistance which spreads over England, Ireland and Scotland, and whose nucleus,the Museum at South Kensing ton in Loudon, has latterly become the most complete, the most enterprising and ambi tious, and the most prodigally generous in the - world. The Kensington Museum, in authori ties on any subject—be it a bronzed lac simile of the Gates of Paradise by Ghtberti, a cast of Pisano's font in the Baptistery of Pisa, a fa mous bit of tapestry, , or lace, or glass, or ; and in attractive and winning opportunities for study—as in that range of conservatories, where fern baskets are seen hanging with. dangling effect against obscure caverns of rockwork— is now rich above all national and private colleges of industrial art. Our school, with its individu ality and its earnestness, though perhaps equally alive, is the toy of adverse and chilling circumstance; but, everything con sidered, it is a credit that the establishment lives at all, and did live through the crisis of the late national struggle, when the patrons of this, as of many such institutions, suddenly withdrew their bands and diverted their aid to interests of still more vital national importance. We believe, on the other hand, that Mr. Braidwood's nurseling compares very favorably with either of the two similar schools at Paris,—whether AN lit the Bcole Speciale et Gratuite de Dessin, 7, Bue Dupuytren, or the Ecole Gratuite de Dessin, de Mathermitique et de Sculpture d'Ornement, where we have been almost painfully struck with the adherence to obso lete methods of instruction, to models per petuating a false and disproved taste, and to the whole baggage of traditional cu.-toms and notions which a school in a new country has the advantage of starting clear of. The school at which Mr. Braidwood pre sides haS to-day lid pupils, lodged in a building which now, since the improvements perfected in the latter half of 1869, may be considered adequate. By the generous exeltions of the Directors a building about sixty lout in length by t twenty-two feet in width, and three stories high; now adjoins the rear of the main build ing at the corner of Filbert nail, Merrick streets. The second and third stories of the new building have a single room . each, cover ing the whole area. - The fitness Of the rooms for the purposes intended exceeds anything - Which the school has heretofore possessed, one permits Something like a complete exhibi: Lion Of the valuable collection of casts belong ing to the school. The collection of casts front the antique is indeed very amply complete, forming .1a liberal education in itself," as ranged in the long, handsome gallery up-stairs; while the nature-oasts;—of wheat-sheaves; water-plants, or w hatever possesses the ephemeral grace of vitality,—are perhaps of stilt grAtet inime diate itimortance, and are obtained by Mr. Bikaidwood, through lii4: relations with 5 the aforesaid Kensington a,fticentre, intine,con dition and remarkable 'profcision: At the same time Mr. j3raidwood. liitinself the authoi of a scientific analysis of the laws of harmony in design, by which the training of, simple curves and their variations into themes 'of beauty "made simple and demonstrable, to a degree that would almost seem to render useless 'originality 'and invention in the artist. His demonstrations of these rules, as.well as of those of color, are a feature of great importanee in the System here taught. And truly nothing is more roe= cessary, in the present incipient, state ,of American design, than a firm basis of rudi mentary pattern-making, having systeiri and method. . , But we will not go further into a description of the appliances of the school, which have a technical rather than popular interest, and may be here dismissed in the general terms, of adequate and complete. Sullice to 'say that the directors, by their activity in preparing a good building and collection, have formed, and are already utilizing .a working plan of great value among the'class intended to re ceive the benefit. The history of the school during the last few years contains many ex amples of young ladies trained from a state of destitution to a cheerful and industrious com petency ; some design prints, paper-hangings, carpets and druggets ; several are employed by our Academy of Sciences in making re cords of its splendid ornithological collection; while a number are finding congenial employ ment at teaching in various seminaries and schools, or in the tnecursale art-schools which it has been the pride of Mr. Braidwood to establish in various places. such as Pittsburgh, Wilkesbarre, Millersville, &c, This family of art-schools is an important and growing one, sharing the advantages of the methodical system we have alluded to, and having caste and models in common by a system of repeti tions which is attended to at the Philadelphia centre. . The school is largely a charitable institution, 24 out of the N pupils now studying being gra_ tuitously entertained. Like all pioneer atairs, it progresses unequally but courageously, now on the point of failing 'for lack of resources. and now cheered with a gleam of material hope. Mr. Braidwood, for Instance, instead of being permitted to give his whole mind to •clueical duties, is obliged every year to do his own lobbying at Harrisburg, for the annual appropriation on Which it lives. The appropri ation this year will, be , .55,000, to be divided among three schools. Upon its share of this, and upon an annual contribution for which some liberal citizens have made themselves responsible,the institution stands. It is always, and now, in almost urgent want, and the Treasurer, Mr. James L. Claghorn, will ac count for, and cause to improve a hundred fold, any contributions that may be evoked by this, or similar articles. A more hopeful. work, directed to a more grateful and worthy field, can hardly be indicated. The President is now Mr.W. J. Horstmann; the Vice President, James 11.0rne ;. Secretary, MOrriS; Treasitrcr, James L. Claghorn; and the Directors are W. J. Horstmann, Jas Orne, P. P. Morris, James L. Claghorn, P. Wilstach, 'David S. 'Brown, Redwood F. Warner, George hitney, E. W. Clark, Jay Cooke, John Sartain and Edward S. Clarke. The lecturer on anatomy (with the aid of the Auzeux manikins and natural . bones) is Prof. A. R. Thomas.

"Now, behold!`.Since the, period of my visit Conneant has had nearly $25,000 of gov ernment money, and is hard after more this year, while the engineer officer in charge says of it: • " In the year ending June 30, 1868, there was collected for duties at Conneaut harbor, $lB in currency, which Deputy C ollector Phil. Kessler, at Cleveland, thinks indicates the amount of commerce likely to be benefited by the improvements in progress' "Conneaut has had her money, and you and I have helped to contribute it. About fifty thousand dollars to be expended to collect eighteen dollars a year. Besides, this super fluous harbor will probably . require to be dredged out annually at government expense, as the engineer in charge says : " The pier extension having been made this spring, its effect upon the channel is not yet observable. It is probable that a small amount of dredging may periodically be required here, if it be determined to maintain twelve feet depth of channel, though the little commerce which the place has, and its eomparative use lessness as a harbor of refuge, lead me to doubt whether that would be necessary' "You will naturally ask how Conneaut, with her wOrthlessneSS, having on either side of her half a dozen harbors—Erie ' Ashtabula, Dunkirk, Buffalo, Cleveland, &e.—should have been able to• obtain an appropriation from Congress. It was effected by the inter linking interests of many ports, rivers and cities, each demanding something, and the good had to admit the evils into the beneficial association. • " Moreover, the engineer officers of the United States are often seduced by the hospi tality, &c., of the people and places like-Con neaut, to report favorably upon worthless schemes of this sort.

There is the St. Mary's im provement, the Dnluth improvement' and the harbor of St. Diego in partnership with Con neaut; Eatoniville gets a custom-house, pro vided Dock Creek can have a United States flood-gate." And thus we are to squander nearly twelve millions of the money winch we have first to earn by bard work and then pay out to.the tax-gatherer. Does the Republican majority in Congress think the people have no feeling? We trust the President will at any rate show that he is a true friend of economy,—.N. Y. Post. FIRE-FROOF SAFES.

As work of high cosmical power, of the rarest beauty of thought, and felicity of expresaion, of. widely-extended Astronomical knowledge, the book of Job tranketnels Iti merit everyintellec tual throb of all the combined ancient aviliza - Mons,: As a monument 'of intellectual power and grace, this Idurnean work, may challenge comparison with any display Of \ mind that has yet been eXhibited by any of the civilizations. We estimate lonic mental grace and power by Homer's Iliad, Greek dramatic power by Es chylus and Sophocles, and English by Shake speare. What shall be said of the Cushlte Ara- Ulan Mind that produced, and of the people who preserved, the Book of Job? :Where has its idyllic beauty, grace and power been sur passed ? What has equalled its cosmical gifts ? What anCient work on the ethital relations of man toward his Creator has more elevating, ennobling thoughts than this from the people of whom the PMeniCians were a family ? When viewed merely in the dramatic treasures con- tabled in Job, the intellect of .Phoenician civili zation may,safely ask to be measured with the intellectual productions of any other people. , The peculiar conjunction of the coastaatious described in Job enabled Hales, the great natural philosopher, to determine hy astro nomical computation the time of Job's afflic tion. Astronomy shows that those stellar con junctions took place one hundred and fifty years before the time of Abraham,—Prof. Theodore 8. Bell. . . Turbot. The fishing vessels of the Derby Wharf, Company, which have visited Newfoundland for fiozen herring this winter, have brought among their returns specimens of a' fish called turbot, which have been disposed of in the Yew York market at good prices, and have also afforded several of our citizens au oppor tunity to learn the flavor and quality of a fish which has long bad a distinguished reputation. The turbot is uescribed as a marine, soft-rayed fish of the flatfish family and genus rhombus. The European turbot, the finest of the family, sometimes measures six feet in width, and weighs over two hundred pounds. It keeps on sandy grounds, and is a great wanderer,usually in companies, living near the bottom, and feed ing on small fish, crustaceans and mollusks; though voracious, it is particular in its choice of food, and will bite at none but fresh bait. Its flesh is white, fat, flakey and delicate, and has been highly esteemed from remote an tiquity. 'Mostof the turbot sold in the English Markets are caught by the Dutch fishermen on the long line of sandy flanks between ' England and Holland ; the value sent to the London market from this source alone being annually not far from five hundred thousand. dollars. Each Dutch boat brings from one hundred to one hundred and fifty fish, usually weighing each from five to ten pounds. The American turbot, sometimes call New York plaice and watery tlounder, is from twelve to eighteen inches long and gix to eight wide, though sometimes attaining a weight of twenty pounds. It resembles; the brill more than any other European species. It occurs along the coast of the New England and Middle States, and is sometimes taken by mackerel fishers near the shore; it is considered a deli cate article of food. The fish called the turbot has only within a comparatively few years been noticed in our waters. The English tur bot (Ilhombut maximus), so well known and so, highly and justly esteemed in England, is considered the best, as it is also one of the largest of,their flatfishes; and, like the salmon, notwithstanding its great excellence and the immense numbers that are destroyed in various ways, it is still in great abundance but not equally'so in all parts of the coast. The turbot was known to the Athenians, and has been ever since a worthy object of gastronomical worship. The turbot is considered to have been the Rhombus of the ancient Romans, of which a specimen of enormous size is said to have been taken in the reign of Domitian,who crdained a Senatus Consultum to deViSe the best mode, of bringing it to table.
