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

them, and gave us the impression that the * min

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

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

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.

spondent of the Chicago Tribune, of• the MO=
ner in which this money is got and spent:

somewhere between Ashtabula and Erie, •or
say nearly' midway between Cleveland and
Bullalo. 1 instance it only because Iliappened •
once to have stopped there, and to have heard
the new harbor discnssed. The little town was
perfectly dead (fer'ah Ohio town), btit every
body was saying: We will get an appropria

mised to do all he can. Them,' • with a. good
'appropriation, Conneaut will pick up.'
' "As Hooked around Conneaut; L thought of
the quack doctor's saying that . Sickness would
be picking up ' after that appropriation..
"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. •

United States are often seduced by the hospi

widely-extended Astronomical knowledge, the

- 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

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.
" No vessel they find to hold such a fish,
And the Senate's convoked to decree a new
• dish."
