Twelfth CenturyFountain, Churc of San Martino
as few scenes do that meet the eye
of men. Forms and colors harmonize;
a dreamy haze, lutninou:: and tender,
enwraps the scenr. The thoughts go
wanrldering vaguely over the expanse
of sea, and awy to the right in the
pul)rle hollow of the mountain you
know that there lies that wondrous
ret elation of ancient life--the resur
rected city of Pompeii.
The character of th!e population in
its diversity is indicated by the va
rious buildings of the city. here,
close to the royal palace, rises the
Theater San Carlo, huge, grandioise
stately and heavy with the weight of
its wealth and dignity-a grand tem
ple to the lyric muse. HIowever it
stands in comparison with other the
aters, it is a noble structure without.
and within its six tiers of boxes, its
wide proscenium and spacious stage,
make it one of the finest theaters in
Europe, while its musical record goes
from the early half of the eighteenth
century to the present time.
There is much that is peculiar and
picturesque about this people. They
group admirably; as you pass along
the poorer streets and come upon an
open sun-lighted space you find the
women sitting around the shop doors,
engaged in work or indulging in gos
sip. Here, in such streets as this, t
and that other high street-the Pal
lonetto at Santa Luci--.hat looks
like Jacob's ladder, without the
angels ascending and descending-
the poorer people of Naples live. In
many cases they have but sleeping I
places for the night; their day is f
?assed in the sunshine; they live on n

little, and If not absolutely happy, are
3o noisily cheerful as to deceive a
tender-hearted philanthropist.
The movement of life, the multi
tudes hurrying to and fro, the bustle
ind the rumor of comparatively prof
'tlesa labor, which fill the streets and
'anes and squares of Naples, are what
listinguishes it from other cities. In
Naples the sounds never cease. The
,ity, said one who went seeking quiet
.n these sunny shores, seems not to
rest either by day or night. When
darkness; comes down, and you might
expect silence to prevail, the twang.
Ingof a guitar is heard, and the rau
:aus voice of a belated serenader
breaks upon your ear. Or it is some
homeward-bound wild reveler, at.

and the gaiety and Briiiiancy of the
whole scene. The vista at the begin.
Sning or the end of one of these
streets is charming. On one side
I there is the sea: on another a mono
mental mo untain whose abundant
waters shine like jewels in the ravy
of the bright sun.
I)own in the splendid garder,s of
the Villa Nazinale, where, amid
white n:arble statu:es copied after the
great masterpieces of Greece and
IRonme, and under the shade of palms
and cedars and semi-tropical plants,
rich and poor may wander. Over the
low sea wall to thie left the tiny
waves of the Me<dittrrauean may bl)
seen gently caressing the shore and
making a murirnr rather than a
splash. Between th(, dark branciic.
of the thickly planted ilexes yeou gel
glimpses of the sea, and beyond if:
the shintiing dis!ance the dream-like
form of Caorl's high hills form a
darker blc - outline against the blc 'I
sky. To the stranger who dwells in,
Naples for a short time the Villa Na
zionale. with its silent charm and
with all that induces to feed the
!magination, becomes a place of re I
sort.
There are other resorts for the'm
tourist in search of the picturesque oa
historical. On the side of a hill over
looking the city. and surrounded by
choice gardens, stands the Palace of
Capo.di Monte, a charming spring ant
summer retreat. It was built for
K!ng Charles III.. who reigned here
from 1734 to 1759. But perhaps thel
most pervading of the memories thai
are attracted to this palace concen.
trate around the person of Gloacchino
Murat, at one time, through the dis
position of his brother-in-law, the
Emperor Napoleon I, king of Naples.
Indeed, other royal residences in Na
plee and its immediate vicinity, such
as the grandlose royal palace of the
city and the smaller royal villa at
Portici, are closely associated with
this monarch, once a Postillion for
the visitors to his father's Inn, then a
soldier of fortune, finally the dashing
and uneqtualed cavalry officer, the
husband of Napoleon's sister Caro
line, and finally .king of Naples.
