ADVERTISED LETTERS. List of letters remaining un- buildings with the statue of Columbus will interest the traveler a few hors, but are hardly worth stopping to see. The road from Genoa to Rome is along the sea through numerous tuunels, valleys, the terraced sides covered with vines, through fig orchards along volcanic mts whose sides are scarred with lava, by cities and towns on the sea shore through harbors filled with sails, over flat country bare and uncultivated, through the ancient wall, and Rome the once proud mistress of the world is reachod. figure of a Jying lion cut in the solid rock to commemorate the death of the Swiss guards in Paris during tho Hevoluton who fell defending the rights of Loui.s XVI. The side of the lion is pierced with a spear, his paw lies on the Bourbon shield ornamented with the Fleur de Lys and the expression of agony on the face combined with the beautifully cut bead and massive strength of limb and body is fascinating in its realism, and the spectator will look upon this portrait of Helvetia's courage then go away to come and look again.

The trade of Lucerne is with tourists who think the people are making money out of that mountain top Admonished by my watch that it was time to decend and determinzd to make the whole trip afoot I started down making the return in 2 hours, meeting several travelers on the way to the. top among whom were several ladies whose pluck I could not help admiring Reaching the town, like Twain I saw the suu go down and wish I could paint for the reader those mountains as night throws her shroud around them. The black shadows began stealing up their sides an hour or two before sunset and just before the sun withdrew it poured a flood of golden light upon the white heads of tho mountains through the clouds that had gathered around it fiid gave to the light a roseate hue, that mingled with the white light of the snow forming a color the despair of the painter, aud the admiration of all who beheld it. From Lucerne to Milan "The Grand" by the St.Goth-ard route, the road is through mountain scenery, ascending to the pass of St. Gothard, through tho long tunnel of the pass then down the Mt.

side by winding road ancient Loin-bardy to tho Lombariine plains in northern Italy. The tunnel is above timber line, cost ft 10,000,000 and 130 lives, was nine years in building anil occupies about 30 minutes in passing. Milan is the capitol of Lombardy aud has many houses built of pure marble. The wall extending around the old city has 13 gates massive in proportions and beautiful in design. The cathedral which is the largest church in Italy alter St.

Peters, is built entirely of white Simplou mar ble. It has 135 spirts, each downed with a marble statue. 1023 outside statues, 080 within: rich decorations, mosaics, bronzes, pictures, and numerous chapels, form a rich inside study. Near the cathedral is the Octnponi formed two streets crossing each othei at right angle covered with an archway of glass terminating at the crossing in a glass dome. The sides of thee streets are lined with stores filled with richest goods and the corners formed by the iutersectiou of riie streets are cut off so as to form an octagon beneath the dome presenting eight fronts to the center which aro filled with richest wares of all descriptions.

Statues, gardens, fountaius, adorn the city in all directions, and the perfection of marble work is seen in the Cemetery, where in vaulted splendor lie tho remains of Lords and Ladies, more noble maybe in death than in life. In the cemetery is a creina tory aud at the time I visited it I saw the operators taking from an iron pan the whitened remains ot one reduced to a few handslul and with silver tongs and shovel putting them in a vase, while a woman clothed in black with two children about 12 and 15 yrs, stood looking on. I took the group to be the widow and chMren of the deceased come to re-; ceive the burnt remains, and wondered in what manner the hand of affection would adorn the poor ashes. i From Milan to Genoa the route is along level land producing wheat and com, with vineyards and groves of chestnut 'trees. The chestnut is cultivated like orchard trees, and may more properly be called chestnut orchards than Thursday, Dec.

19, 1889. OLD WORLD LETTER. NUMBER VI. C. W.

Pool. Rome, Oct. 15th, 1889. "All roads lead to Home" with equal truth it may be said all tourists go to Home, "Have you been to Home" or "When will you be in Homo" is asked by one traveler of the other when they meet in mountain resorts or cities. The routes to Home are many, all having 6jecial atti actions interesting to one not familiar with European people and scenery.

My route was chosen with reference to historic places, scenery and directness, and Jod through southern Germany, Hwitzerland, northern and central Italy, a description of which may not be uninteresting, wishing- the reader the pleasure of the same trip sometime in tho future. The Black Forest. Leaving Mayence for Home stopping at such intermediate points as I desired. The Black Forest in tho Grand Dutchy of Baden wag my first objective point. Baden Baden is tho principal city situated among the lower hills of Schwarzwold mts.

and famous as a health resort on account of its thirteen hot springs good for Rheumatism and Stomach complaint. Tho Black Forest is a hilly district covered with timber whoso dark foliage lias given it its name, rather than bloody deeds with which it is associated in the minis of most readers. Novelists have given it an unworthy fame by making it the theater of knight errant adventurers and the abode of outlaws and robbers. It is now a district anything but lawless and the littlo farms, poaceful valleys and smiling glades that are seen here and there along tho route belies its uncanny name. The inhabitants aro more primitive in their costumes and manners than any yet seen.

The motive power ot the farmer is the ox which ho hitches in shafts to his cart or carriage and drives along the road or farm. Women divide tho lield work with the men and the productions of the farm are grapes nnd garden vegetables. Haud made goods such as clocks, jewelry toys and paintings are manufactured, the toys and paintings being largely tho product of peasant women in their leasuro hours and show an ingenuity and artistic taste most surprising among these simple poople. Their simplicity however does not apply to the selJing of their goods, and tho purchaser generally finds that the simplicity is on his Fide. From Badeu Baden to Lucern the route enters Switzerland at Basle.

Swisslandhas been well named "A cluster of delights and grandeurs," The Helvetia of tho Romans it has been an important factor in European history both by rea-; sou of its geographical position and political character. It is about 220 by 110 miles in area and is preeminently a land of mountains, lakes, "rivers and glaciers. Lucerne 'The Proud" is most beautifully situated at the foot of the lake bearing the 6ame name. The scenery is unsurpassed. Its two loftiest mts.

Rigi and Pilatus afford it is Raid the finest views in Swiss-land. The lake is Rbout 23 miles long, and several steamers ply along its shores stopping at the numerous towns Along the route. The water of the lake is clear as crystal, cool and abounds with fish. The principal objects ot interest are the Panoramas, the Glacier Garden and a colossal claimed in the Post Office at Maukato, Kansas, for the week ending December 9, 1889. Letters.

Even in the later periods of that disease, the cougb is wonderfully relieved by this medicine. I have used Ayer'a Cherry Tcctoral vitli the brut effect in my practice. This wonderful preparation once saved my life. I had a constant couh, night pweats, was greatly reduced in flesh, and given up by niy physician. One-bottle and a half of the l'ectoral cured me." A.

After taking this medicine two or three months I was cured, and my health remains good to the present day "James Lirchard, Darien, Conn. Several years ago, on a passage home from California, by water, I contracted so severe a cold that for some days I was confined to my state-room, and a physician on board considered my life in danger. Happening to have a bottle of Ayer's Cherry l'ectoral, I used it freely, and my lungs were soon restored to a healthy condition. Sinco then I have invariably recommended this preparation." J. li.

Rigi if weather will permit either on foot or by a small railroad constructed on the ratchet and pinion plan. The Rigi is tho mountain from which Mark Twain did hot see the sun rise and is .0905 feet above the level. 1 chose the pedestrian route reaching the summit in hours.

The ascent being along a path shaded by buckeyetrees andon either side aro littlo gardens and orchards of pear trees bearing large and iluscious fruit. A little higher 'and we reach large pine trees and a variety of mountain flowers. Higher, and tho pine trees grow small and pear trees bearing a little fruit about the sio ol a walnut cling for life to the mountain side. Over littlo streams of clearest water past cascades waterfalls, by great masses of detached lock, between two rrcky clilfs with a mighty bowlder wedged between them just above the head, along perilous precipices guarded with an iron or wooden rail, up. up, higher, higher, near the timber line and the cool breath of the mountain comes down the path making it dangerou? to stop least the charge of climate should occasion a cold, upward 'til emerging the timber the summit covered with snow is seen and another of hard climbing to the top.

At intervals along the way are little restaurants, tho proprie tors standing in the loor calling to the passer by and if the travler does not stop he will hear the voice of that restaurant man, long after bo has passed calling "wine, beer, coffee, milk." Reaching the summit at last tho traveler turns atid looks below and around him. What pen can describe or pancil paint the scene un folded to the eye. Around him is snow and ice, below, green verduro and smiling valleys. Northward as far as tho eye can nee are other mountain peaks, their lofty head3 covered with snow standing like white children of Infinity, eternal witnesses of God. A few clouds are floating through the air or lying on the mountain sides filling tho valleys and moved by tho wind present dissolving views of lower hills canyons or distant mountain peak.

Southward and the eye rests on lower levels with lakes rivers, wiudiug roada and in the valleys and on the hill sides arc cities, towns and villiages their white houses shining like jewels on the bosom of the earth. A hile standing looking at the scene I was suddenly called to a realizing sense of what this was made for by a fellow at my side flinging au album open before me with the words "Two franc, vey cheap." I looked at tho imp awhile listening to his description of his wares and then said "its two high." The joke was lost on hiin. The top of Mt. Rigi has a lino hotel, restaurent, afd numerous little stands and booths where souvenirs are for sale. I had no means of knowing how business pays, but I groves.
