The quaint old town of Florence lies in the valley of the Arno, en closed by the Apennies and the Lucchese Mountains. With the name of Florence visions rise be fore one of poets, and artists, pala ces and churches, all of interest and beauty. From the heights of the "Viale degu Colli the entire town can be seen lying peacefully on both sides of the Arno. From the outlying- hills can be seen Fiesole with a lofty tower rising white and clear against the olive clad slopes, beside many small vil lages of great beauty and antiqui ty. At our feet lies Florence. The chief points of interest to be specially noticed are the Tower of the Pitti Palace; the wonaerlul Catedral dome, designed by Brundeschi; the beautiful Cascine gardens, and many churches and other public buildings. "Each street of rlorence con tains a world of art; the walls of "the city are the calyx containing "the fairest flowers of the human "mind- and, this is but the rich est gem in the diadem with "which the Italian people have "adorned the earth." Anyone, with the faintest appre ciation ot the beautitui would oe enchanted, nay, more than en chanted, with the beauties con tained in the Ufhzi Gallery. Sev eral long, marble-tiled corridors are entirely given up to sculpture, and pictures, as well as many large and small rooms'. The most interesting rooms of all, contain- the master pieces 01 Italian art is called the Tribuna, contain ing only about thirty paintings, but each one a gem. There are also five pieces of beautiful sculp ture.. One, is a Scepthian sharpen ing his knife preparatory to flay- a man alive the savage cun ning and almost diabolical leer on his face make one shudder. An other, is a statue of Venus de Medici, a woman said to have had the most perfect figure in the world. Of the pictures, the "Ma donna and child by L-orreggio is strikingly lovely. The Virgin bends in lowly adoration over her son, while the babe lilts his arms towards his mother with just an infant's helplessness. A portrait of a woman lying on a fur rug by Titian is also beautiful, both as re gards colouring and conceptions. But if one were to pick out only the gems, and give a fair descrip tion of each, a volume would be required. Fra Angelico s "Corna- tion of the Virgin," with groups of singing angels and the Saviour and Virgin in the centre, all done on an exquisite gold ground merits indeed more than a passing word After leaving the Uffizi Gallery, we turn towards the Loggia. This is an onen space at the corner of the street only enclosed by pillars containing a few sculptures. Ben- venuto Cellini's, "Perseus" is en tirely in bronze, and represents the vounsr hero in the moment of victory with his foot upon the body of Medusa and holding her snake-crowned head in 'his left hand, while the right flourishes the enchanted sword in triumph Not far from the "Loggia" is the "Duomo" or Cathedral of Florence in the Italian Gothic style design ed by Arnolfo del Cambio in the 14th century. The inside is very bare and strikes one with a vaulty chill on entering, but it is the out side that is so remarkably beauti ful. The entire Cathedral is in black and white marble, while over each door are inlaid sacred pictures of Madonnas and angels. The fine.work all over the building is worthy of study rather than passing notice, for at every poin is something new, whether it be the figures of the Popes, or the mosaic work or the mere shell of the building itself. Opposite to the Cathedral is the Baptistery, with three magnificently-wrought bronze doors by noted artists, Thev each contain ten or twelve scenes from Scripture history. and the fine work expended on them took jn one case twenty-two years to accomplish.

' New Yorfc Herald. William J. Florence, the noted actor, tells the following stcrry to a Herald reporter : THE LEE DINNER. "Phillip Lee, was the husband of the beautiful and gifted Adelaide Neilson. Lee was the son of an English clergyman, and in de meanor and apparel was a gentle man. He accompanied his wife to this country, not as her busi ness manager, but simply as her husband. He was a harmless, pleasant, gentlemanly fellow, with but little knowledge of American wrays. "At the time Lee was in this city in the fall of 1877 he was the guest of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, where I was also staying, as I have been for years, and Mr. Sothern was quartered at the Gramercy Park Hotel. One night the three of us met at the Lotos Club, which was then further down town than it is now, and as we were about leaving there Sothern and myself, desiring to pay the Englishman some attention, inyited him to ac company us to the old chop house kept by George Brown, and there have a bite and sup before going to bed. "We walked up Fifth avenue together, and as we were opposite the Glenham Hotel our attention was attracted by a disturbance across the way, evidently caused by a brawl between a policeman and some jovial young blades. Lee, who was very curious about every thing he saw, exclaimed. 'Bless me! what's that?' Mr. Sothern replied in the most nonchalant manner, as he continued walking on, 'Oh, only another dead man. "'Another dead man!' gasped Lee ; Lord bless me, 'what do you mean r 4 'Oh, that's nothing,' exclaimed sothern, with a wave of his hand I stumble across them every night on my way home. 1 hey are kil ng men around here all the time. trip over them, but pay no atten tion to tnem, but keep right on my way home. I don't care to be summoned as a witness before the Coroner every day of my life.' Bless me ! exclaimed Lee, what a remarkable country ! sothern starts the fun. "We finally reached Brown's, and having secured a table we ordered chops and ale. Sothern and myself had not prearranged any joke upon our guest, but he had given me a wink, which I knew meant mischief, and I was ready to play second to any part he proposed performing. While we were eating Sothern suddenly reached over and placed his fork in one of my chops, attempting tore- move it to his plate. I prevented this by the insertion of my own fork, and then said, in calm but determined tones, Ned. I don t ike that,' to which Lord Dun dreary responded, but not in the feeble tones of that stuttering stage nobleman, 'Mr. Florence, I don t care whether you like it or not : I want that chop. "With that I sprang upon him with uplifted knife and grabbed my dearly beloved friend by the throat and he seized me in a simi lar way, while he apparently made desperate efforts to cut my jugular vein. In the melee which ensued the table upset and chops, ale, dishes, knives, forks and all the other appurtenances descended upon poor Lee in a shower. Brown, the proprietor of the establish ment, who knew us both intimate ly, rushed forward and separated us, and at his solicitation, he thinking we were entirely in earn est, we finally shook hands and re newed our vows of eternal friend ship upon another's bosoms. That was the inception of the famous Lee dinner hoax. Sothern came to me afterward and said he desired to give the Englishman a dinner at the Gramercy Park Hotel in order to introduce him to the customs of the great Ameri can people, and said that the only part he desired me to take in it was to be sure that Lee should be on hand at the appointed hour. which was noon of the following bunday. lo this 1 agreed. I knew, of course, that some sort of joke was to be perpetrated upon Miss Neilson's husband, but I pledge my word that I was not let fully into the secret and was not advised of the programme. tne designated time 1 es corted Lee to the banquet room, which was on the first floor in the rear of the hotel office. I found out afterward that by special ar rangement with Mr. Judson, the proprietor, the doors and windows had been well padded and cover ed so that no noise from within could reach beyond them. The apartment was lighted with wax candies, inose assembled were John McCullough, Harry Monta gue, J. S. Polk, Charles Gaylor, all ot whom had achieved fame upon the stage ; Dan Bryant and Nelse Seymour, the most famous negro minstrels of their day ; Commo dore Dickinson, of the New York Yacht Club ; George Brown, of the chop house which bore his name ; a gentleman named Cooper ano, 01 course, sothern, Lee and myself. None other than these was present. "The oysters had been disposed of and the soup had just been placed on the table when Charley ijayior arose and in very impres sive tones 6poke about as follows .1 r . 1 1 . - . . ucnuemen, 1 mink this is a most auspicious occasion to bring about peace between two who, while strangers, were men once devoted friends. I do not think that rancor could exist in any heart at a gathering of this kind. To be sure it may ill beeome me to act the part of a peacemaker, for while it is true that I have shed human blood, that my right hand has been red with the gore of an other, it must also be borne in mind that I was triumphantly ac quitted of the offence and that a jury of my peers said that I had acted only in self-defence.' THOROUGHLY STARTLED. You can readily imagine that this rather took the breath out of my friend Lee, who had been seat ed upon my left. He whispered to me, 'What has he done? Did he kill any one?' I looked at him warningly and put a finger on my lips as I whispered back, Sh h h! It was nothing; only his mother.' I heard him mutter, 'My God !' as he shrunk in his chair, and then he leaned toward me and whispered, Of whom is he speaking?' As I didn't know my self I couldn't well tell him, but I warded him off by saying, 'You will learn it all in a moment. His words might apply to almost any two men about the board, be cause every fellow here has killed his man. Just then Gaylor threw light upon the subject by saying as he pointed with one hand toward that clever negro minstrel, Dan Bryant, and with the other toward that equally famous delineator of cork humor, Nelse Seymour, Of course, gentlemen, it is hardly necessary for me to say that I refer to America's most famous poet, Wil liam Cullen Bryant, and that equally distinguished gentleman, M. Seymour, the son of the talent ed ex-Governor of the State of New York, Horatio Seymour, and I now request that these two gen tlemen shake hands across the table and let the bloody feud which has existed between them end here.' I had scarcely time to give an affirmative reply to Lee's whisper ed inquiry, 'Is that really v llliam Cullen Bryant?' when there en suea tne most remarkable scene which I ever witnessed in my life. 1 cannot now even, atter more than one dozen years have elapsed, think of it without the tears of laughter coming to my eyes. Sey mour was a man over six teet in height and with legs the length of which were absurdly out of pro portion to the rest of his body. He appeared to be split up almost to his neck. 'One of his most famous feats upon the minstrel stage was to suddenly throw one of his feet about a man's neck and draw the other fellow toward him. Upon this occasion Bryant, in obedience to (jaylors summons, had reached forth his right hand, when Sey mour suddenly threw that dread ful right leg of his across the table, caught his friend and fellow minstrel by the back of the neck, drew him toward him and hit him squarely between the eyes. In anotner instant both men were on top the table amid the soup dishes and were snarling and biting ard tearing at one another like a pair of bulldogs. Cooper and Dickin son, who were not in the secret, became so alarmed that they got under the table, while I could only hold Lee in his chair by main force. "In the midst of the contest the table upset and the poor English man was almost drowned in soup. w nue uryant and seymour were making a mockery of struggling beneath the debris, aeymour by wetting the fingers of one hand secured a quanty of blacking from one of his shoes and with this gave himself the semblance of a black eye. When some appearance of order had been obtained a truce was patched up between the com batants, and after Seymour s blackened eye had been bandaged they were induced to shake hands, whereupon the other member of the company who were in the secret exclaimed admirably, 'Once a gentleman always a gentleman!' and declared that a true American gentleman can always be told by his willingness to settle a little difference amicably." "Lee whispered to me in tre mulous indignation, 1 his is most shameful!' to which I replied, 'I don't see how you say that. There was no one killed.' Thereupon he amended his remark by saying, At least it was most unfortunate. I am dreadfully sorry it occurred.' THE FIRST SHOT FIRED. "The table was got in shape again, and things moved along smoothly and pleasantly for some time, until Polk and Sothern be came engaged in apparently a very angry and excited dispute about the merits of the North and the South, in the rqidst of which Mr. Sothern suddenly arose to his feet. and, drawing a revolver, fired it directly over Polk's head. Im mediately a scene of the wildest excitement ensued. In less than twenty seconds twenty shots from revolvers had been fired across the table. Polk, Gaylor, McCullough, Montague, Seymour, Bryant and Sothern were not only firing blank cartridges from revolvers, tnt were brandishing huge knives over one another s heads. "Dickinson, Cooper and Brown had by this time discovered the affair was a joke and simply added to the tumult. The terror of the Englishman was almost pitiable. T T I a lie Degged to oe allowed to go, but his friends were so thoroughly in. Jove with him that they would not let mm. depart, mere was upon the table at this particular juncture a large dish of asparagus covered with drawn butter, and most of the combatants, who were 29, 1890. crawling across the table attempt ing 10 carve one another s hearts out managed to get their hands into this mess, and while thus be smeared they could take turns in jumping around to where I was holding Lee in place, and bring ing their palms down upon his shoulders would beg of him to be seated and assured him that the difficulty was simply a trifling one and that they would regret it to their dying day should he leave them, bo frequent were these ex pressions of hospitality that Lee was smeared from head to foot with drawn butter. I shall never forget the specta cle that the late lamented lohn McCullough presented on that oc casion. Having fired his revolver. he drew a long Roman sword from his boot and with a swirl cut off the neck of a champagne bot tle as if he were decapitating a foe, and then waving it threaten ingly over the heads of Lee and myself, he exclaimed : 'Why does not tne gallant rlorence stand by his friends ? Where is his revolver to-night? I have travelled with him through the West, and then he never went without his arsenal, and scarcely a day passed without his killing a man.' SEYMOUR IS A NEW ROLE. "In the midst of the f races Sey mour, who had temporarily disap peared, appeared in the doorway aitirea in a wnite nat ana apron which he had procured from the hotel chef, and announced that the landlord declared that the en tire party must vacate the room. He had not finished this speech when everything on the table, in cluding even the large, heavy aisnes, was hurled at him, and it is really a wonder that he escaped tne snower unhurt. By this time everyone in me room, ana es pecially the Englishman, was a lamentable sight to behold. Each one was smeared and crushed and tumbled ana torn from head to foot. "Lee could stand it no longer. He got on his feet finally and managed to say that while he had heard such scenes as he had wit nessed were enacted in the pur lieus of the great cities of America he was astounded and disappoint ed to find that they were the cus tom among gentleman, and furth er said that he would have to leave to keep a dinner engage ment. 11 was lour o clock. 1 es corted him to the street and put him in a carnage to conceal his dilapidated condition.
