Voick, Itai.y, May 3.?It wna tlio boast of tlio Kmporor Augustus that lio found Homo bricji and itono nnd changed It Into marble. This was a t?K urativo expression of courso. Ho novor liad so Quo n cltv as is hore to-duy. An ciant Homo does not survlvo 00 strik ingly in marble, oven in what thoro Is of it, i\s in stono?masslvo stono? tho Trcvortino blocks, for Instance, of tiis Collossotim, tlio Pcperino blocks of tlio Great Sower, the Tufa blocks of tho Servian wall, anil tho prostrate granite columns of tlio foruin. To look upon walls and archos and acquoducts and col umns that nro not only older than' America, but nto'ohler tlinn all other nations as well?'older than Knglaml,, i'rnnce, Germany,1 Uussiu nnd Atistrlu?' older than any spoken language?older by far thiin Christianity?jo old .that they wero hoary with ago, indoed wore ruins long enough before tlio era of gunpowder or the mariner's compass?, this, It Is,that fascinates the imagination at ltome. Homo to-day, wliatover Augustus loft it, is hack to stolio again. The main wailj and tho Inner walls of every house mo stone?all lire prooi (even if they used tiro)?all of them construcled of roublo or eobblo stono laid in a ce ment that cements and endures, nnd faced with stucco that gives the whole city a light and bright appearance and makes It look outwardly surprisingly clenn. Tho poor wero never so well housed as now, the result of ncchlont nnd not of design, in tho last twonty years Home has Immensely overbuilt herself, and Is in a bad way llnancially in consequence. Beyond tho Tiber, ?within rilto shot of St. Peter's, there is a perfect waste of huge buildings of the kind described,1 put up on speculation? put up by thqibooincra who followed tho political and'military operations of Victor Ivmanupl, Garibaldi & Co. wdtli a grand scheme (or rebuilding Rome oil; a scale truly.Augustan, nnd so they went to work and borrowed nnd mort gaged and built on a tremendous scale, not only bevond the Tiber, but 011 tllis side'as well, and , dragged Into tho ? speculation tlio banks, the money-lend ing corporations of one kind and an other, and all sorls of private capi talists and but for tho government coming to the rescuo oi the banks there would have been a collapse and a crash such as would liavo caused tho old Colosseum, and the very walls them selves, to topple if not to fall. TI1K CONSEQUENCE. Well, the consequence of this collapse in real estate values is tli'at these great four storied blocks of cream colored houses having become both unsaleable and unrentable are occupied for the time being by nominal renters?by poor peogle, indeed, who have filled the lower stories with svino shops and meat shops and truck stalls anil all sorts of small fry business, while up stairs, in each successive story, live the unkempt peo ple who hang out of their windows all the family washing, and thorc it flaunts in the breeze, red shirts and white, and other garments, male and female, that have been patched worso than Jo seph's coatof manv colors; a sight that would kill any region dead that did not bare aSL Peter's church to keep it alive. t This stato of things is tho compensa tion to the poor for tho prostration in business that cuts short their employ ments. llow can people pay much.rent whose average wage, for common llibor, is only about 30 cents per day, and who eat less than a pound of meat per head per,week; who livo on poiente (mush) and scant vegetables, or soups con cocted out of still scantier moat bones; or macaroni made out of mixed wheat and chestnut Hour; who never use tea or coffee and but little or 110 milk, and who never sat by a good fire and felt real warm in winter in their lives? Yes, n poor man can livo very cheap in Italy, but this is the war I10 will live. Some a littlo better anil some a little worse, than tho above average in Rome. Living the same way in America 1>0 could livo still cheaper, at all events quito as cheap, and would lmvo the ad vantage of higher wages. 1 aui glad that tho Italians as a wliolo are so at tached to thoir native land that they would rather enduro all this than to emigrate to America. Wo get moro than enough as it is. What would really become of Italr un der the prosont burden that she is curry ing were tho tourists to cease coming to her shores it would be difficult to sav, but she would speedily collapse. She can hardly keep alloat now in spite of the one hundred millions of dollars an nually 6peat within her borders by tourists, of which tho Americans spenil thirty-fivo millions, according to the official figures of tho ex-secrotary of tho Uritish embassador in llome. As you liavo seen, thoy had a crisis tho othor day, which arose over tho army budget,' between thoso favoring a reduction and thoso opposed, nnd tho opposition car ried tho day, and' now tho question is, will Italy bo able to go on with hor end of tho Tri-partito alliance, and keop tho stipulated force and equipmont in the field and on water; and further, will Germany and Austria kick and road her out of tbo alliance if slio. does not? This is the 'question. what weighs italv now::; At Washington,. in 18S0, I hod a slight- acquaintance with a foreign minister to the United States, which I Jiavo renewed lioro at Rome. I talkod I o\er this situation with him tho other day in company witli our consul-gen-, oral. He admires Italy vary much and has of course a very intelligent under standing of her pooplu and resources. Ho sympathizes with hor situation thoroughly, and said, among other tnings, how happy these pooplo might be if tlioy were only on their normal footing in a military way Instead of be ing under this fearful strain. "Eut," ^ said, "thoy are fearful of tho consequences if thoy lot go tho alliance, Thoy have tho ghost of tho past haunt ing thorn." "Nonsense," said lie. 'The past is gono nevor to return. Who is going to attack Italy? Not Franco nor Austria, and if not those, who olso? No, sho is entirely socuro from attack, and sho should throw overboard this immense military budgotand cultivate pcaco and prosperity. How happy lier pooplo could bo if thoy would only got rid of this foolishness." On the-other lmnd, ex-United States Minlitnr Gooige P- Marili holds Hint army Ufa is regenerating Italy; revital izing her lost manhood, and that fgr the aako of tho futtiru she should endure it. Tho people havo groat prido in the army nnd thu army has nlao a groat deal of prido in itself.' Thera Is no tnlatnko about It, Italy has n xplondi>l and, as It strikes ine, a formldublo army; an nriny that la thoroughly disciplined and that will fight, liut'then sho has no money to fight with, Shu would ho bankrupt on tne first round; in fact, Is v6ry close totliovoiya of bankruptcy now. Her llnauecs are so precarious mid peculiar that gold is at n premium of 5 per cent. You never get tho satuo prico for sterl ing exchnngo twice in succession. Tho natural par for an English pound is francs, and nay ten or twenty centimes for oxchniigo'fnccordlng to tho Imlnnco of trade), but you get ono week twenty five seventy-five, twenty-six tho noxt, nnd twenty-six thirty, forty or fifty tho uoxt as tlio case may be. TAXATION. Meanwhile taxation gradually cuts a llttlo deeper. It Is now thlrteon nnd ^hroo-tenllis per cont on incomes. Think ot that. Tills necessitates intonso oconomy. You should seo how econo mically liotols can ho run in Italy?how they.watch and cut down tho smallest minutia of expense, such as tho lights and tliii eorvico- nnd ovon tho wasto paper. You should coo nil hands wait ing on tho table, thu hook-keeper and ovon the proprietor lending a hand. Tho wage* paid nt a hotel mo very scant, i Iir employes aro oxbocted to, recoup themselves off thocuoatH. The porter, or conciorgo, who presides at the doorway, and who "welcoinoa tho coming and' speeds, the. parting guest," hols tho main man?ho- gives you 'in formation, tolls you stamps, calls thtr cabs, procures yoA opora , tickets, ho expects tho first and highost take put.of. any remaining surplus you mav -havo aftor your - bill is ? paid Ive^t,- to him comes tho head waiter, to whom you must look for an oiiftiblo seat at tjao table, for, something warm if you are lato, for a lunch to carry with ?you 6n an excursion, ? for tho preservation, ot your wind between meals,?ho,mext to the conciergo, is a inan to oo regarded and feed. Then of course there is boots, as tlioy call hiin?ho is important also, for what is a tourist in public or private estimation, whoso shoes do not shine. Then follows tho chamber maid who brings you warm water in the morn ing, Ihe boy who attends tho "lift," if there happens to be one, tho man (who is flomotlmos "boots,") wiio brings down your baggage; and fla'ally tho man who stands on tho steps of tlin omnibus and rides to tho depot, ho too expects at least a franc. They aro all hired and all work on tho principle and undor standing of tips, and those tips aro their main if not their only pav. 1 havo never boen ablo to find out just what people who aro in what is known as the genteel employments of life?such as clerks?actually receive,-lint I am familiar with ono or two cases' that hiay servo as an illustration'or at least throw light on the subjoct. I have a friend in the person of a young man who is tho sccrotarv of a circulating library in tho l'iuzzadi Spagna,where~I,go. to hiro books and occasionally to Bit: down and read, lie is the son of a surgeon at Tivoli, a beautiful city in''the Sabine hills whero J spent a delightful day? the Sabine hills that figure so conspicu ously ia- the^eajjy, liisto/y of Rome, whero tho SagnwpnMjtetffecatne jj??m that wero carried off frobrasfeifit A et arinis by the first settlers on tho Pala tine hill, and thus became ancestral Itomnn wivesnnd mothers. This young man was liberally educated, read Latin at sight, speaks English, keeps the books of the library, and .for thgse ac complishment! "-rocoires^tho.-suin of twenty-five dollars per month, out of which he pays four or five dollars fora room, two dollars for washing and mending, and with the balance supplies his commissary and wardrobe. In the morning he takes a, cup. of chocolate, which lie wnrinsjd'r^m nstipplyof (jjitro or two of cold stulTcin hand in his room, oyer a spirit lamp, alid this constitutes ?his breakfast. At noon ho buys a hall franc lunch and at night, when his work is done, he treats himself to a meat dinner costing frojn,;two..and fi.'half to three francs, making tia" hvbr.tgb;dailv expense of say throe francs for living, or sixty cents, or say $18 p^r month; to which add his room rent and his wash bill, (Sfi more,) making a sum total of $21. Thus you seo ho has a dollar left for clothes, or rather, as he tells me, has a doficit of about $5, which his fatlior makes good.:.. The. poor fellow has just been drawn for tho army for threo years, and lie seemed .rather to enjoy the prospect of army lifo. After his time is out in theamiy he says that ho will go to America for a few years. In roplv to my inquiry why he didn't go now, ho said, "Because I could nevercomo back to Italy owing service to tho govornmenL" "But you need never come back," I replied. "All, but I must come back! I want to finally livo in Italy," ho said; thus showing what I havo remarked in this letter? the Intense lovo of countryiwhich tho Italians possess, which is certainly an excellent trait in their mako-up, and, I may add, one of thoir best traits. This young gontieman's name is Aristides Tani, No. 3 Piazza di Spogna, who knows that I am to take this liberty with him. We lately spent a Sunday together exploring soma Columbaria, where wero the ashes of numerous dead, preserved in urns for nearly two thousand years. A wheeling man. Speaking of this young man.and his accomplishments, reminds mo that I have met hero in Romo quite an accom plished young man from Wheeling, tlio solitary "fellow citizen, I may remark, upon whom I have happened thus far iii my travols. Ilis ,11111110 . is- Patrick McDermott, whose ? mother,' a ;wijlo\v lady, lives out on EigjiJ&enth \Strcqty East Wheeling. He is in Ro'iho irndot the patronago of Bishop lOnih, sciid^intt for tlio priesthood .it.tho Xmefica'n^)^ lege aim attpnd,ing Jho ^tUreaj'at'thb Tropagan'dftl*' I mot,him 'On^tn^rning at the latter place, where "I*, went to hear two of tlio notod thoqlogians who lecturo tliore. Ho. enjoyed one great advantage over mo, I10 understood the lectures, and I did not, which is of courao, a poor compliment to tlio time I spoilt studying Latin many years ago. I suppose that even if my Latin had not been in ruins I could not havo un derstood their pronunciation of it here. But ray friend Patrick understood it all, as (lid two or three lmndrod other young follows who woro seared with us on those Spartan benches and occasionally they all smiled simultaneously at some thing humorous in tlio lecture. An Archbishop of the Jesuit order was.tho first lecturer, and the readv and volu blo mannor in which he descanted to the boys iu tho languago of Cicero and Tacitus on tho subjoct of tho Faith, which is his specialty, and tho way tlio boys took it all in was something new in my oxperienco in tho line of lec tures. Ho was a regular Italian in his looks, in his gostures, in tho shrugs of his shoulders, in tho half closing of his oves and his ease of manner, wheroas tho professor who followed him, on Morals, was a largo Gorman looking man, somewhat heavy and hesitating in his stylo, formorly a jurist thoy told mo, andovidently a man of weight with tho young seminarians. As I conlil not vo ry woll hucouie absorbed In theso lectures, I had plenty ot lolsitro to look round and apeculate upon tlio aitnation. Here, thought 1, Is my idea ol tlio unity and tiniveranllty of lan guage?bore tiro American!. English, French, Germans und .Spaniards who cannot understand each other, but who can all understand llto locture, and hence, geometrically apenking, things Hint are equal to tlio aauio thing ought to be equal to 0110 unotherj or, in otlior words, there ought to bo 0110 rqulvalont latiguugo (or all thoso laugilugcs, and tliut equivalent should bo n modern lan guage and notadeadono. 1 should like to havo taken tlio senso o( tlio boys on this point?their consensus ol opinion, il they had one?ns to whether It wasn't nbont tiimi In the history o( tho world to drop tholr vohuiculars and agreo on a volaptik 111 the ahapa o( English. 1 nm speaking of a medium for every day life and not of it church language. My old Wheeling frlond, tho lato John llishop, had a plan for, tho rectification of many ills growing out, as ho salil, of tlio Inability of tho world to properly understand itself, tho first step in which was a universal language, a thing that he contended could bo brought about in five years ill all clvlliscod nations by tho adoption of Encllsh school books. Of eourso Kngllsh wax his idea of tho Ian guago to bo adopted, on account of its omnivorous and aggressive and pro gressive character, as shown In ita his tory during tlio last hundred years, in which tinio it has girdled the oartli nnd inado the most wonderful progross over known in tho history of speech. Thero were only about twenty millions of En glish speaking pooplo on earth at the outset of t,his contur.v?In America and England?-whereas now thero are nearly six times that,-number, anil liko AnVon's rod it'is swallowing up all otlior languages with ah accelor.itcd mo mentum. Why not then, ns tho boys in tho street any, "call half a<lav a hill day and quit;" quit now at this noon in the history of civilization and agree on English as the universal medium of In tercourse? .ARcittiisiior inn.and. You see that after the struggle Iliavo had hero in Europe with tho polyclota and tlio dialects, I can fully appreciate my old friend'bscheme. Tho subject is, however, such a very largo ono tlmt 1 shall not by any mean# rouard it ns ex hausted In'this letter, and may refer to it again. Akin to tho gonoral topic is the raid beiug niado here ill Iioino on Arch bishop Ireland, of America, on account of his position in favor of English as against the polyglots of tho Northwest. I havo met tho Archbishop two or three times over at tho American col lege, and on ono visit took occasion to call Ilia attention to your commenda tory editorial paragraph In rogard to his position on this subject, which, I am sure, pleased him very much, ilo is not a politician by any means, but, confidentially, I may tell you that ho is a decided Republican and an especially warm Maine man. llivand the accom plished rector of tho American college, liov. Dr. O'Connell, formerly of Vir ginia, aro a stand-oil in politics, as are tho two assistant rectors, Dr. Hooker, of JTew York, and Dr. Farralley, of Tcn iiossse. A . house thus properly bal anced, not divided, against itself ought to stand a good while, and I judge ttiat this will be the case with tho very hos pitable American college at Itome. The Rome correspondent of tho Taris edition of tho xY. 1. Herald says that it is on the cards to make a cardinal of tho archbishop. That niny bo, but I judge they do not take much stock in tho rumor over at tho college. They go very slow in Rome in the making of American cardinals. An Italian cardi nal they can get up any time on a.day ?or two's notice. Tho italinn cardinals are supposed to have, what in Chicago would be called, a corner on the busi ness. They run the business, so to speak, to suit themselves?that is to say, out of a full college of sevrfntv, they always contrive to have a working majority, sav forty to forty-flvo of tho wholo number. As I remember, the statistics or statement put forth at the - Baltimore plenary council two or threo years ago, tho American catholics claim to number about nine millions, which is not ono-tliird of the population of Italy, and yet Italy has, in a full board, forty or moro cardinals to the solitary ono in America. I sincerely hopo they will make a cardinal ont of tho estima ble Archbishop Ireland, for he is a live nnd progressive man, and thoy need that kind of a man among so many Italians. a. w. a There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro nounced it a local disease, and prescrib ed local remedies, and by constantly failing to euro with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to boaconstitutional dis ease, Rndtherefore requires constitution al treatment. IIaH'6 Catarrh Curo, man ufactured by F.
