V SCENES IN NAPLES. The Metropolis of Italy a Great City that Seems Far Back in the Past Borne Dooidcdly Uncomplimentary Com ments Upon the Character of Its People, Outdoor Iodftcrs. The thrco cities in Italy which Iho traveler finds most interesting aro Rome, Venice and Naples, writes a cor respondent from tho last-named city to The San Francisco Chronicle, and tho interest they excito stands In tho order in which they are placed. Considering tho number of pages it filled in tho world's history Genoa should oiler more enticements to tho tourist. So also should l'isa, Lucca, and other cities in tho north, whoso deeds aro recorded nt length in Slsmondi's "Italian Rain blcs." Hut though every part of Italy has its legends, its queer customs, and its quaint rural modes of existence it is only tho great cities or tho places of fashionablo winter resort that present Biifilclent alluremonts to retain tho ewlft and unresting seeker after tho world's novelties. As to Milan, it is handsome, but too enterprising and too modern to suit tho tasto of tho mi gratory American, who sees at homo quite as much of lifo in tho active form as ho desires. Naples is still ancient .and dreamy enough in spito of Iho ef forts of modern cntcrpriso to infuso somo of tho spirit of progress into its inhabitants. What medicine is thero drastic enough to euro tho malady of traditional idleness? What invigoraU ing remedies can enable tho system to successfully resist tho languors of a climate whoso soft airs scorn to invito to everlasting repose? So it is half awake, yot dreaming, whilo reprcsonta tives of tho northern nations, Germans principally, though tho English colony aro numorous, try to infuso tho energy of tho cooler regions into its veins, whoso stagnant blood is tilled with a latent fire. Tho passion of its peoplo is, llko that of its volcanoes, ready to burst out nt any moment. Thero aro symptoms of progress, ed ucational, industrial ovon, but tlioy aro slight, and thoy do not seem as yet to touch tho soat of tho disorder. To the American visitor who comes hero full of tho life and movement of his owa country tho groat and not uuboautiful oltv seems far bnek in tho past. It is moro modern than Pompoli, but has it really made any advances on that memorable city of tho dead? It curves tho grcon sioklo of ita quiot shores about tho blue waters of its tranquil bay. Vesuvius lifts forovor its un quonchablo torch bosido it, and its peo ple, idle or laborious, according to their social station, their necessities, or their inherited customs, labor, dream, drowso, sleep, lounge, saunter, or in dulgo in characteristic amusement's much as thoy did a century ago, or long boforo tho railroad startled tho quiet of tho valleys and disturbed tho murmur of tho sleoping sen. Thero aro among tho Neapolitans Bomo very admirable persons, but as a whole tho manners of tho peoplo are in marked contrast to thosu of tho citizens of Homo. At Naples tho lower classes nro vicious and disagreeable. J'liu boatman who takes you on shore from tho steamer, and tho coachman, whoso draft animal is neither a horse nor a pony, but somewhere between tho two, will endoavor to collect a fabulous amount of money from you if you do not stand constantly on tho defensive. Tho conductor of tho street-ear is often out of humor, and scowls upon you. Tho guard of tho omnibus, will qunrrol with you on slight provocation, and it is by no means impossible, that ho will threaten you with a knife should you bocomo a little too earnest in your re monstrances. Tho entire population of tho city, as at Suez or in Alglora, ex pect youtotako them Into your service If you ask a person in the street about Bomo distant loonlity lie insists on ac companying you to tho spot, and then demands to bo liberally paid. If ho even lifts his linger to indicate a place not fifty feet distant ho expects at least 2 soldi. If you wish to make a pur chase somo pretended interpreter in tervenes and asks payment for the use less tiud unasked service. Efforts to ex ploit you aro constant at tho hotels though in this respect honorable excep tions may bo noted wnilo at tho cafes everyone scorns to bo looking for nn extia copper, and is ill-natured if it is not forthcoming. Although among certain classes at Homo tho stranger finds himself im posed on, It is not general. Thero is an amiability that pervades all classes of tho people, not nlouo thu aristocrat ic and middle classes, who are utmost universally kind and polito, but tho coachmen and conductors of street-cars and omnibuses, poUy merchants, and ovon laborers scum to partake of tho genoral good will. And though crime is not always proportionate to tho amount of politeness in any given com munity, yot in respect to Homo and Naples it may bo said that one may bo taken as a gaugo of tho other, Tho rudeness and coarseness of tho com mon classes nt Naples is in direct ratio to thu coarseness and rudeness of tholr character and manners. Tho peasantry about Naples nru hardworking. Somo foreigners who have observed them for venrs may somctimos be heard to dc clarc that they aro tho most industri ous people in tho world. It is truo that in traversing tho country ono sees them forever in their fields and vine yards hard at work aiid seemingly full of vigor in spito of tho enervating cli mate. In tho city itself thero is also n certain amount of activity to bo scon everywncre. The lifo of a great city could not movo on withont it. Shop keepers nro busy. Shoemakers aro car rying on their trade in tho streets, not only in tho daytime, but far into tho night Tho lemonade sellers, who have thicr queer apparatus on tho street corners, and who vend a glass of lemonace and water for 1 cent, car ry on a brisk trade. Tho largo class of traders who mako and disposo of ornaments in lava and coral as souvenirs seek custom with un tiring assiduity, though fashion no longer decorates itselt with cither of these specialities. As a class thoy havo a keenness bordering dishonest', for thero can bo nothing precious about lava so near such a source of supply as Vesuvius, and tho coral fisheries furnish far moro of that pretty material than tho world wants. Then their gold is almost always pinchbeck and their work bad. A branch of the coral trado is carried on by n class of itinerant venders with tho steamers that visit tho port. No sooner is tho steamer fairly at hor anchorage than tho deck is nlive with them, and covered with their pink wares, spread out in every availa ble spot. Thoy have a sliding scalo of prices, tho minimum of which repays them amply. Thero are, besides these classes, the laborers of tho manufactur ing establishments belonging to indi viduals or tho government. Hut all this individual activity and industry falls to remove tho slumberous impres sion made by Naples on tho traveler accustomed to tho quicker and moro energetic movonients of tho chillier north. A vast proportion of tho popu lation is still unemployed, still sleep ing, lounging, and convoying tho dolec far nicnla idea which scorns to bo in separable from southern Italy. In 'books of travels written thirty or forty years ago ono roads much of tho Naples lazzaroni, who subsisted entire ly on macaroni, which they devoured in strings several yards in length, and fairly incumbered tho pavemouts with their presence. Thoy aro said to havo disappeared, and this fact is given as an ovldenco of tho industrial progress of tho city. It is possible that thoy havo disappeared, but (lie number of those who can sleep as tranquilly tho night through on a stono pavement as on a spring mattress still astonishes tho person who knows tho luxury of a com fort ablo bed. Nearly all theso persons aro said to havo honest employment, at loast those who pass the night on tho sidewalks of tho principal streets. The summer nights are warm, and tho architecture of Italian cities, liko that of Franco, forbids all sensible means of ventila tion. So when night comes tho deni zens of the close quarters in tho nar rower streots swarm out into tho moro airy thoroughfare, where thoy onsconco themselves on the pavements, on tho steps of adjacent churches, or in any plneo whero they aro not in danger of being trodden on or run over anil a breath of sea wind renders respiration possible. Tho person who lias road of the la..aroni in books and is pleased with the tradition can regard all theso street sleepers as belonging to tho class if lie sees lit. They pass their nights as did the la..aroui, and as to honest oc cupation, though thoy may havo it, it is no doubt often imaginary. Italy is exceedingly indulgent to the poor. Thoy can sloop where thoy please on the sidewalks, about tho fountains, on tho steps of churchos, with their heads resting on tho foot of tho altar, or in tho nuddlo of tho street so long as thoy do not endanger their own lives and Impede tho still restricted com morco of tho country. In Milan and other cities of tho north thero is less sleeping In tho open air, for tho mu nicipalities have other use for tho public thoroughfares and do not care to encourage mendicity.
