EUROPEAN LETTER,
« Rome, Irary, June 2, 1896.
(From our Special Correspondent.)
A French writer nas said ~that an
Englishman listens to music ; a French-
man hears it; a German analyses it,
and an Italian feels it. Wowever this
may be, no one can be long in the
land of Verdi and Rossini withont real-
izing that this is the country of music ;
this impresses every visitor with the
force of an original observation. ~There
8 music every afternoon in the pubic
parks ; music as the soldiers march
through the streets, music at almost
any hour in the countless churches, and
what is most striking, the loungers and
beggars litt up their voices (and very
good voices they are, as a rule) not in
the hope of a few extra pennies, but
just for the joy of singing. The boys
that stroll along the streets sing instead
of whistling, and their selections denote
a more classical taste than is possessed
by their brother gamins in America.
One hears the Sicilina from Cavalleria
or the solo from Mignon instead of oI
Want You, my Honey� or oParadise
Alley.� One is liable to be awakened
any time between midnight and day-
break by resounding choruses, as citi-
zens roam from the cafe-chantants
homeward; but instead of arresting
them on the charge of odrunk and dis-
orderly� the gendarmes listen with the
air of connoisseurs, and show an incline
tion to interfere only when the sing-
ershappen to be oft the key. As a
matter ot fact, they are not drunk ;
they merely wish to give expression to
the music with which every ItalianTs
soul is filled.
For a change, one can hear almost
any day the lugubrious chant of funeral
processions. ~The mourners go on foot,
and there is always a long line of monks
carrying lighted candles and singing.
Sometimes they are accompanied by
the Misericordia, and then it is a

fraternity which assists in the last of-
fices for the dead.

men who belong to the featernity, but
they can be distinguished from their
companions only by the elegant feot-
There are 1 number of noble-
gear, ot which one catches occasional
glimpses. Some years ago at the funer-
al of Prince Barbarini, one of the
members of the ®brotherhood, the en-
tire Misericordia came barefoot, and a
lady present told me that it was amus-
ing to see how gingerly some of them
walked.
The nomenclature of the streets 1p
Rome is picturesque and varied.
When one finds oneself unexpectedly
in the street of Purification, the Road
of Perfection or the Lane of Penitence,
one half believes they have stepped
into the PilgrimTs Progress. The
streets of the Silver Tower, the Little
Cakes, the Five Moons, or the Iron
Moantain have a more secular sound.
It is startling, when you have lost your
way inTa forbidden part of the city and
are searching anxiously for the name
of the street, to find that it is The Bro-
ken Head or The LionTs Mouth, But
at the next corner you are reassured by
finding yourself in Good Company, and
your footsteps may presently lead you
into the Lane of the Holy Ghost or
the Street of the Twelve Apostles.
The street of the Twentieth of Septem-
ber, a finebroad wveune, Iéads 40 the
gate that was demolished on that event-
ful date in Italian history, when Gari-
q ae ;
es i ee Oe Oe a ee
baldi entered t the , Eternal City and the
temporal power of the Pope was over-
thrown. The street of the Mouth of
Truth is so called from a recess in, the
wall of a church, into which in olden
days Romans put their hands whea
taking an oath"perhaps a more sanita-
ry arrangement than our modern msth-
od of kissing the Bible. Then there is
the street of the Two Slaughter Houses
(now lined with elegant residences) ;
the street of the Crucified, the Alley ot
the White Cross ; and many streets av-
enues, arcades and promenades of the
(Jueen Margherita.
Among the most striking figures to
be seen in this land ot bright colors, are
the nurses employed by wealthy fami-
lies. Their costumes comprise blue or
pink skirts (often of stiffened satin)
with a wide stripe of a contrasting col
or around the bottom. On the head is
a large bow of ribbon, with streamers
reaching to the fect. They carry their
charges on pillows, covered with lace
and veils until one would think the
poor liitle babies would suffocate. As
they march majestically along, they
fairly vut-Solomon Solomon in glory of
attire. The army officer, too, always
attracts the eye, especially if it be the
eye ot a tourist. He wears blue grey
pantaloons with a red stripe at the
side, a black jacket embroidered in sil-
ver and gold, and on cool days he
wraps himself in the graceful folds of a
Spanish cape and goes forth in the
proud consciousness that he wears, the
prettiest un~form in Europe.

cattle in certain counties in western
North Carolina. The government at
Washington had quarrantined against
Texas or Southern fever in cattle which
worked great hardship on marketing
North Carolina cattle, and the Gov.

oA MILuION DOLLARS FOR MY
SIGHT,
oA million dollars for my sigat !�
Such is the offer made by Charles
Broadway Rouss, the eccentric New
York millionaire, touny one who will
restore his eyesight, recently lost.
Ile has issued a statement which is
genuinely pathetic in its simplicity. It
reads as follows :
$1,000,000 rewarp.
To physicians, surgeons, scientists,
wise men and all others whom it may
concern ; Be it known that I, Charles
Broadway Rouss, who possess consid~
erable wealth, hereby agree to pay the
sum of one million dollars to any hu.

Pathetic? Indeedit is, Here isa
man possessed of millions, with the
power to enjoy life to the full and the
promise of a goodly number of years
before him, cut off trom the light of
day, the worldTs brightness and beauty
a sealed book to him, and he stretching
out his helpless hands with the almost
despairing cry :
oA million dollars for my sight.�
Mr. Rouss is peculiar. His eccen-
tricities have made him a reputation,
dod his queer ways have often turned
the public eye upon him, But he had
these'sime queer ways before he was a! ,
millionaire, and his oddities were not

cranks, who think that all they have to
do is to walk up, exploit their litde

overburdened with the work of attend-
ing to the correspondence relative to
the matter. Several secretaries had
spent days in selecting from the vast
piles of letters those containing the
smallest glimpse of sense or intelligence
and those in themselves form a curious
collection.
A young man named Martin, who
was formerly employed by Mr. Rouss,
is also blind, his trouble being the same
as that of his employer"paralysis of
the optic nerve. MartinTs af-
fliction, Mr. Rouss has taken great in-

Rouss was froma Chicago doctor. He
said :
oUnfortunately Iam unable at pres-
ent to goto New York, butif you will
come to Chicago and remain under my
treatment for two weeks, I feel confi-
dent that I will get the million dollars.�
Mr. RoussT answer was as follows *
oMy Dear Sir; I would not stay
in Chicago for two weeks to make one
million dollars, much less to spend it.�
A female physician called on the
blind man with a theory which he con-
siders idiotic, but which Martin is hay-
ing tried on himself.
oScientists have discovered,� ex.

the optic nerve is explained by the
presence of a yellow fluid, which satu-
rates the nerve tissues. Now I have
devised a jense which is powerful
enough to draw out this fluid, if held

Mr. Rouss said he would try it. It

suffererTs eyes very much, and he turn.

Volcanoes and Icebergs,
In recent years the size and number
of icebergs seen in the south Atlantic
and south Pacific oceans have both been
enormous, and various suggestions have
been made to account for the phenome-
non. Evidently something unusual has
been going on in the unknown regions
surrounding the south pole. The latest
suggestion bearing on this subject
comes from Mr. H. C. Russell, who has
presented it before the Royal Society of
New South Wales. His idea, in brief,
is that there has been an extraordinary
outburst of the great voleanoes*known
to exist within the Antarctic circle, and
that the consequent shaking of the ice-
clothed shores of the Antarctic conti-
nent has resulted in the breaking off of
immense fragments of ice, which have
afterward been driven northward by
winds and currents."YouthTs Com-

~ THE MUSTACHE.
How It Became a Symbol of Liberty an
Fraternity.
The mustache, that questionable
adornment of a manTs upper lip, is
trembiing in the balanee. The fashion-
able man of the hour who eschews this
time;bonored ornament will tell you
that it is a crying and unnecessary evil,
and is bound te go. And where can one
find a better criterion of such momen-
tous subjcets than the fashionable man
ot the hour? In years to come the
grandchildren of a beardless race may
have to turn to their encyclopedias to
Antici-
p:ung this, says the Cincinnati Enguir-
er, a sort of advance sheet may be found
in the following:
The home of the mustache is in Spain,
Mter the Moors first invaded the coun-
try the Christian and Moslem popula-
tion became so mixed that it was diffi-
cult to say which were Moors and which
were Spaniards,
The Spanish then hit upon a means*
by which they could at once distin-
guish their brethren. They did not
shave their lips any longer, and they
allowed a tuft of hair to grow below
the mouth, so that their beards formed
the rude outline of across. |
Thus the mustache became a symbol
of liberty and fraternity,
Distorting the Sun.
Observations made at the Kharkoff
observatory last year indicate that the
forees which produce the black spots
on the sun may have a wonderful effect
in heaping up the solar surface in the
neighborhood where the spots exist.
Some of the measurements showed that
a line through the center of the sun
from a group of spots to the opposite
side was as much as 200 miles longer
than other adjacent diameters of the
sun, This seems to show that the sur-
face of the radiant globe is swollen out
at the points where great eruptions oc-

Sailin g Round ~the World Alone. :
Capt. Joshua Slocum, who sailed
from East Boston nearly a year ago to
i circumnavigate the globe in his 40-foot
sloop Spray, has been heard from as
being at Sandy Point, in the Straits of
Magellan, on February 16. His original
intention was to make the trip to the
westward by the way of the Isthmus of
Panama, but finding that it would be
impossible to transport his vessel across
the isthmus, he determined to make the
journey by sailing east. He crossed
the Atlantic, and had reached Gibraltar,
but hearing there that there were pi-
rates in the Red sea, he again turned
westward, and after a tempestuous pas-
sage across the Atlantic, reached Per-
nambuco, Brazil, on October 5, which
was the last heard of him until the
