It Is . said that the French put up the best ; variety and that they prepare them for pickling in a superior manner to the other nationalities. ' Since rny last letter I have visited , Venice, Florence, Rome, Pisa," Naples, all Italian towns or cities, all of them picturesque,, some heing more fteautl Tui than others. One has to have young eyes to admire and enlov a via it to ; Italy.. Venice ' Is v situated, as your readers well know, upon the Adriatic Sea, and - Is unique for tbe . ui-i m ii nas no norses, mules or other atreet:.qaadrupds.v;;Boat and gonooias are tne means of eonvey ance from one part of the city to the otner, The natives nave little, nar row passage or foot ways that lead to different sections of the city, here "and there bridging the canals. There is a large canal through the centre or tne city that is called the- "grand canal" that Is bridged at three 'places along Its . extent t considerable dls tatrces apart. Tho great bridge,, the main one,' crosses from East Venice to west Venice at the great market nin- sides of OUs bridge all the way across acing the, main waterway. The canal is traversed by an sorts of craft from smalt , steamers, that, convey- -passer gers from one part of the canal and . city to -the other4 f or two ;eents, to 'small dories.' The gondolas and on- dolters look in reality Just as they appear in - pictures of Venice, some dressing fantastically ' with sashes around; their waist with turbans on their heads, and when they go to turn the corners of the canals they "hol- ler" a peculiar noise to make aware of their approach.; Oh, my!, how the gondolier swears In his Italian tongue ' or "lingo-." Many of the canals are never visited by a ray of sunshine, t and the mosqlto thrives here1 under such environments as you" may , 1m agine.

It L- eald that it Is built upon ovi-r two million 'piles and in a day in which there was no steam pile-kl rivers and the power must have been dona by man-power alone, as there are no beasts of burden in this. city. The main plaza of the city is called St. Marco a-nd facing on this plaza is the great Cathedral of St. Marco, one of the greatest of" European cathe drals. . It is also built upon piles and the base of the cathedral Is so sunk en that water sometimes rises in the body of the church The. floor Is ex ceedingly undulating and. Irregular in niflcent edifice.. At Dresent there is an effort being made to timber up and support the great arch that over hangs the. front of the cathedral, on the inside. "In front of the cathedral there are two bronse horses that were removed by the first Napoleon when he captured Venice and taken to Paris and, Dlaced upon the triumphal arcn way to the Champs Elysees; tut after a period of time were restored to ine -Venetians, ndwerereplaced upon their original pedeatals in front of the catnedral. ; There Is an opening to one of the walla called the Lion's , Mouth, f Into which anyone who could write might prefer charge and Put them into this opening and the Doges, each carrying e, separate key, could open f the .other aide -of the "wall, -undo the lion's mouth and' .read the charges against whom they wore made -and arraign the accused without ven being1 con fronted bv the accuser; .nd it Is eaid that many a person erossee over the "Bride of Sighs" f to hi r eternal doom, where they1 were rtrangled :to death hy, the "garrot," - the cell , in which thte was done still being open also, a. elide . was provided . through which the bodies were calt Into the canal, where they were readily devour. er fcy sharks, etc. i, i .

It was the home of Dante, Mlchaeh Angelo and many other celebrities 'of their day. - In the tfrea "cathfedral 1 Dormo la the last great work of 'Michael Angelo. just as 'he left it unfinished, as he was called to his "" final V account -- Also in this celebrated edifice la to be found a picture said to be a, perfect reproduc tion of Dante's idea of. the inferno. While so near -we took day off .and vlsitedls, the place of (the leaning tower. That Italian tdwn earns its living from marble cutting and the people who stop off jo vlBit the lean ing tower, which la regarded as one of the seven original wonders of the world. The tower la not so very high. It requires to ascend 292 steps, cir cular built to ; reach the topv It Ieaifs 13 feet to one Bide, and the. up per olde it five feet higher th'an the lower side, of the base, It is sur mounted by six large bells' of variable size, "the larger weighing eeveral tons.' When .: they, ore tolled by the church authorities 1 am told that the tower is perceptibly swayed. : It takes six men to ring the bells at once. : It waa from (this tower that Gallles dis covered the attraction of gravity, . v uVfter , visiting several places for marble cutting, perhaps the home of that art,- we visited the home of- he great Gallles, some mile, ormore on the opposite aide of the river Aros, which runs midway through the town. We rang the door-bell of Galilee's old homo and an old t woman poked her head out of the window of an adjoin - tng window and informed us tfrsut the people who ; occupied ithe residence were absent; consequently we lost the opportunity of looking through the chambers of this famous residence, atlll in a fair state of preservation. It is now occupied by many families of plebiuns of this Italian city., - THE ETERNAL CITY, VISITED.

We also took a peep at the forum, in which once stood Cicero, Horace. Cae sar and Marc ,Antony,as well as the regicide Brutus. , We went to Nero's paiace beneath whose portico 1b a storage place for old drays, ox-carts and a blacksmith shop where - oxen and horses are -shod. . Strange to say, upon the site of this once active area are" situated the gas plant or the city and the home-of the poor. There are still left many archways and alcoves In which the wild beasts were once kept We abso paid a visit to the Ap plan way, about 2,000 or more, years old. .

They are subterranean passages that extend many miles in tortuous direc tions and : where hideous skulls and bones meet the eye on every turn and where there Is great liability of be coming lost as well as overcome- by carbolic acid gas or death-damp,- as it is called In mining sections. v Vi; ' The eaders of The Observer are not to infer from this communication that there Is nothing modern in Rome, for such Is not the case.

' , NAPLES. THE BEAUTIFUL.. I ' visited Naples, from which- port we embarked for America. Naples Is a beautiful city and by the way, the largest in the Italian government or klnadom.
