This is the City of the Sea. It is
sImmU three miles from shore. The
rivers from the mountains brought
down sand and soil and carried it into
the Adriatic, and, of course, dropped
it, in time forming low, sand Islands.
The city was thickly populated in the
time of the Hoinan occupancy. When
the Goths came down, the Romans, or
some of them at least, uVd to these
islands. The books say that for some
time they lived In little thatched houses
and were furred, in some measure, to
become sailors. They early became
Christians, so that when the English
and French crusaders were on their
way to the Holy Ivml thoy came and
went by this way. as It M-aa directly on
the route. "Then Venice been me a
maritime city and grew rapidly in
wealth and population. The people
early formed a kind of a republic and
fostered education, and therefore grew
In influence, and the city was railed
the "Queen of the Sea."' The rich
merchants could not buy farms, for
there was no land, and so they took to
building palaces. The lower rooms
were used for business, the upper for
residences. The soil being sand they
had to drive piling for foundation.
Their trade being maritime wholly and
water plenty, they made all the "prin
cipal streets water-ways, so that now
there is not a horse nor a mule in the
city. The land streets are from four
to twelve feet wide, while the Cirand
Canal is wide enough to float
a Great Eastern. The palaces
were built of brick and marble,
and three centuries ago, I must be
lieve, the Grand Canal was the
handsomest street then in the world.
But Columbus or Vespucius, or some
body, discovered America and the Cru
saders quit going to Jerusalem to rob
the Turks and bring back the plunder
to Venice for sale. Again, it was found
tlwt ships could sail to India around
the south of Africa, and Venice was
doomed. Ceasing to make money, all
her people turned to be politicians, and
iu time the city lost its colonies, its
wealth, ita influence. Najxdeon took
it and gave it to Austria in a big trade,
and finally it came to be a part of Italy.
TesVrday we rode up and down the
Grand Canal in a gondola. They are
all black and precisely alike. Soma
three hundred and fifty years ago the
rich made their gondolas so ornate and
sumptuous that the plain people took
the matter iu hand ami made a law
Bxing the size and forbidding all other
form of craft. This morning we went
over to what is called the Piaaa, or
Great Square. It is about two acres in
size. On two sides are marble build
ing. On the third Fide is the pnhiee
Napoleon I. built for tho King of Italy.
On the other side is the Church of St,
Mark. In 825, they say. the bones of
the apostle were brought here. The
church is a magnificent temple. It is
in the form of a Greek cross with five
domes. There arc nearly two acres of
Mosaics alxmt the church inside and out,
worked into all kinds of pictures. The
floor is laid in marble and there are
five hundred and forty marble columns
used in the construction of the build
ing. These were brought from the
East. The story is that each ship was
required as a tax t pay a column for
tho right to enter port. Some are
white, some red and some green. They
were formerly in temples in Asia ajui
Africa. It took more than a hundred
yraia to complete the church, and k
looks like the pictures of Asiatic tem
ples. It is claimed that the architect
were from Greece or Constantinople,
but nobody now knows who they were.
When we got to the church the jam
was so great we failed to get in, but a
half franc opened a door to a stairway
which led up to a kind of balcony or
prtvate box, from where we could look
down on priests and people. A Car
dinal dressed in a rod cap and beauti
ful robes read a sermon in a splendid
voice while sitting in a red velvet and
gilded chair. The congregation stood
up, as there" are no seats. At the side
altar many said their prayers and went
away. Here and there some were
kneeling, and throngs were coming
and going all the while. In the after
noon the pigeons were rd in the
square hundreds of them there are,
and tame enough to sit on your arm
and eat. Once it was said a pigeon
(they call them doves) rendered the
State a great service, and thereafter
they were taken under the protection
of the State; but now they are fed by
an insurance company and by every
visitor. Cor. Indianapolis SentineL

Do you love me, Jane, well enough

STUDIES AT THE PIANO.
Inrlileata Showing- That Thing Are Not
Always What They aem.
She was a tender, passionate thing,
full of all those sweet, emotional
charms that lead to engagement' which
calmer reasons throws a different light
upon. She tunj. She did not onH
try to sing as most young women do.
She could sing, and she sang. She
liked pretty, sentimental ballads, and
nice forgot the point and drove a fel
low away by giving him with fine ex
pression and forgetful enthusiasm that
beautiful musical advice, "Rid Me
Co.Hl-hy and GoP" lie bade her
"Good-by" aad went. She could not
understand what he meant, until
through the tear-filled eyes she read
accidentally the legend on the page of
music. It is needless to say he re
turned. It is no use asking how she
did it. It wouldn't do you any good
to know. Every girl has her ewn'
patented way ef bringtg a fellow
back. It is the only thing they are
distinctly original in, exce'pt making
pie.
It might not have been the same
girl. 1 don't know. They're liable to
get mixed up in stories, those girls.
This one had a sweet voice and a plead
ing way that was dangerous. There
are different kinds of pleading wars,
don't yon knowP A girl takes a song
off the piano; she is seated on the twist
ing piano-stool, and there's a young
fellow in an evening suit, with a soli
tary stud, a corrugated shirt-front, a
fo1-chain, leaning over her, with one
thumb balanced in his waistcoat jwkct
and his right hand playing restlessly
with his mustache, simply to keep it
from dropping around his neck.
"Isn't that a beautiful song?" she
asks.
What?" be asks, never looking at
the music, but gazing into her eyes.
" K.), Lav Tliy Cheek on Mine,
Iove!' "
Then she looks up pleadingly. She
knows there are too many people alout
for him to do any thing of the kind.
He blushes a little.
"I have the cheek, but there are too
many people around," he whisjers.
The funniest pleading a girl does is
when she most particu arly wants you
not to do something she asks you to
do. That is worth studying. Itut le
careful, you may misunderstand her.
Hut this girl in Oakland had a beau.
Well, be wasn't exactly a bean. lie
was a kind of a peep-loau. They sat
in the drawing-room. Perhaps you
don't know why it is called a drawing
room. Because it is the place where
girls draw men out. Ho knew she
sang.
"Will you not sing for me?"
Could she refuse? If she hadn't boon
able to sing she wouldn't have thought
of refusing, and she could not possibly
refuse seeing she could sing. So ho sat
in a chair with that preparatory look of
pleasure that h s nothing to do with
tho song, and every thing to do with
the singer. Ah, me! lint I can't
stop to moralize. I've got to go on
with this s.tory. You have the tableau
in your mind's eye. The maiden just
beginning on tho lovely ballad, the
young man gazing at her. Now let me
introduce another character. Small
child, nephew, in the next room. Small
child has been listening. He is look
ing through the crack of the door with
a painful expression coming over his
face. The voice grows more and more
impassioned by the piano and the girl's
whole soul is in tho song. There is a
tap at tho door, a gentle tap. The
singer turns around, stops and says:
-Well, what is it, dear?"
The little pained face becomes pa
thetic as the child looks at her.
"Please, aunty, won't you stop that
sad noise?" San Francisco Chronicle
An Expensive Luxury.
A German, now visiting in this coun

concerning our colleges: "In America,
in this land of the free, it is the sad fact
that university culture is a prize which
is only accessible to the sons of rich
men." His inquiries were very exact
"Among the 140 students who had com
pleted their studies at Yale.college this
year (185) I obtained answers from
109. According to their reports the
average cost for the four years' course
amounted to $960. There were great
differences in individual cases; one had
succeeded in 'getting through' at the
cost of $150 a 3'ear; another needed no
less than $3,500 annually. I know a
German porter in the States whose
eldest son passed a brilliant examina
tion at Princeton; but father and son
agreed that it was impossible to pursue
his studies there on account of the
frigitf ul costliness. Study at an Amer
ican university is a most expeusive

WORSHIP OF GAD.
A Class of Legislator Who Itesarve Tgno-
. minion and Speedy Retirement.
In this day of progress there is no
error mot e general and more deleteri
ous to our material and intellectual
prosperity than our senseless worship
of gab. It Is not a worthy apprecia
tion of the beaiatles of true and pure
eloquence. Hut those who aro gifted
with a copious flow of impracticable
and useless words have educated the
people to the Idea that no man Is tit for
a legislator unless ho is endowed with
a constant ebullition of gas And al
though every man of experience and
thought will at once acknowledge that
not one in a hundred of those who are
n tireless in their talk as the winds on
the prairies are fit for any thing practi
cal In the world, as legislators they are
totally Incapable of originating a prao
tlcal law, or of successfully remodeling
a bill offered by any one else. In this
matter we have some readers who have
had experience In legislative follyfSend
they know how little reliance can be
placed Iu an Inveterate talker in ar
ranging practical legislation. It is the
cal in, cool, thinking men, who have
gathered up the great lessons of life in
a severe and close conflict with the
world. Colleges may make scholars,
but it takes something additional to
make men.
Those who have done most In forming
and perpetuating the institutions of our
country were not orators, but men of
thought, experience and of mature judg
ment. Great principles are evolved aud
important questions settled by deep and
close investigation tn the private office,
and in the closer conflict of mluds In
the committee-rooms. Speeches in the
puhlic bitlls of legislation have nothing
to do with the settlement of great ques
tions. They arc made for the gaping
crowd.
Our halls of legislation are crowded
Pwith lawvers, to the exclusion of the
various branches of industry. This
would not bo so objectionable if abetter
class of lawyers were selected. It is
well known In this learned profession,
to be successful a law Arm should
alwavs have as one of the partners a
good "ofllce lawyer." This means a
man of practical sense enough to get
up the patvrs and ph-as in the right
form. A man who can put himself
down to the preparation of business.
The other partner should be a good
"jury lawyer." This is one who can
spread the eagle and tell the dirty anec
dotes. In the profession there Is too
large a proportion of the latter
class. And our readers will bear
witness that if any one of the Drm be
comes a candidate for the Legislature or
Congress, it is Invariablv the one
who has the "gift of gab," instead of
the one who has by study and a well
balanced mind brought sueeess to tho
law firm. In this way our legislative
and congressional halls aro filled with
impractical men. What better evidence
do we want of this fact than the fre
quent and constant passage of laws
which are unconstitutional, and that.
tiw, after going through the serutinv of
the judiciary committee, composed of
lawvers, for the express purpose of
checking unconstitutional legislation.
This would not be the case if the onV
instead of the jury lawyer was elected.
And this brings us back to the question
our great error of gab worship. We
want more thinking and fewer talking
men in higher places. A gassy mem
her of Congress is an expensive animal
Every set sjeech he makes to empty
benches costs several thousand dollars,
and does no good. And a large por
tion of our extravagant expenditures
and our protracted and useless sessions
of Congress grow out of the practice of
taking for a Congressman the wrong
memtier of the linn, or the wrong mem
ber of the comrounitv. Gas instead of
sense, imprudence instead of modest
merit, is too often the man of the popu
lar crowd. If there be a man in any
community who has never done any
thing in the world except to study
rrraceful gestures, and ornament his
language with stolen quotations from
the literature of the past, he is selected
to be the man to frame grave laws for
the government of the diversified inter
est of a continent.
The past, history of every State in this
Union, and of the United States, shows
that the reliable practical men are those
who have matured and disciplined their
minds in tho great industrial interests.
agriculture, manufacture, mechanics or
merchandise. These are the interests
of the world, and from these we want
more men of practical experience and
moral firmness. If tho eoplo would
cease running after mere gab, and seek
after plain, practical men, who know
and who sympathize with thoso who
labor, our rights would be better re
spected and our institutions bo longer
perpetuated. Boston liudQct.

REVERSING THE VOW.
rroaperltx of a lltitaul W ho Was lie.
termlned to Obey 111 Wife.
A clergyman, traveling through the
village of Kettle, .in life, was called
into an inn to omciatc at a marriage.
instead of a parish minister, who, from
some accident, was unable to atteud,
and had caused the company to wait
for a considerable timo. While the
reverend gentleman was pronouncing
the admonition, and just as he had told
the bridegroom to love and honur his
wife, the said bridegroom interjected
the words, "and obey," which he
thought had been omitted from over
sight, though that is part of the rule
laid down solely to tho wife.
The minister, surprised to find a hus
band willing to be hen-pecked by an
ticipation, did not take advantage of
the proposed amendment; on which the
bridegroom again reminded him of the
Omission "Ay, and obey, sir love,
honor and obe3 j-e ken!" and he seem
ed very seriously discomposed at find
ing that his hint was not taken.
Some years after the same clergy
man was riding through this village of
the culinary naaie, when the same man
came out and stopped him, addre sing
him in the following remarkable words:
"D'ye mind, sir, yon day when ye
married me, and when I wad insist
upon vowing to obey my wifeP Weel,
ye may now see that I was in the richt
Whether ye was or no, I ha'e obev-ed

only man that has a twa-storv house in

NqX Very Encouraging.
He had told her of his love in words
as fervid as he could, and was fever
ishly awaiting her reply.
"llow old are you, Mr. Sissy?" asked
the girl, in a low, sweet tone.
"I'm ah ninteen."
"Well, the idea of a little tot like
