HOHE AND ABROAD.

THE PLAIN OF LOMBARDY. NORTHERN ITALY. AN ANCIE3T SKA FAKMISO THE MTTL BERBT TREES SILK CtJLTURB OLD BATTUB FIELDS PIEDMONT AND TURIN THK WALDKN9E8 THROUGH THE MOUNT CENI3 TUNNEL. (Foreign Correspondence of the Sentinel. Lyon, Marc'a 5, 1876. Tbe great plain ol Lomtary is an exceedingly IntereatiDg part of Europa. Bounded by tte Alpine, Tyrolean and Apennine mounters, it was no doubr, a cue tirre, a vasi imana le I saw many evidences of i:a;marlne origin daring the several trips that I made across it. In some places the immense beds of gravel täat bad been formed by ocean currents are jet only thinly covered with soil. On this plateau, which forma the northern part of Italy, are to be f r.urjd many of it old noted cities, Milan, Venice, Turin, Verona, Padua, and maty others that have played an important Drt Jn tbe history of Knrope. In these cities, hoary in their antiquity, SbBkespeere located some of his moat popular tragedies. Who can pasa through Verona without thinking of the passionate love of Romeo and Juiitt, tbe wit and jollity of the unfortunate Mercutio, and all the other characters of that exquisite poem! This appears to have been the great battle ground of Europe. Upon this arena tbe nations struggled with each other for victory and supremacy. Here WR9 fought some of the moat decisive battles of ancient and modern times. I was exceedingly Interested in these localities, made memorable by victories and defeats that has often changed the entire current of a nation's history. Baforere tsrring to any of those which I saw, let me state a few facts respecting the appearance of toe country, the mode of farming, the products of 'the soil, etc. This great plain forms a etrlking contrast to the country through which it is approached. We firtt snw it alter descending the precipitous Bides of tr.e St. Gotha d rauge ot Alpine mountains. Then we afterward aDproaehed it alter passing through the Apennines Tbe railway in this wild, ragged, moantalnous region la a remarkable instance of modern enterprise and engineering skill, winding its way, as It dots, through vast ravine, crossing teaming torrent, travertine lofty embankments and pinetrat ng tbe solid rock in a manner truly wonderiul for this old slow country. Wealwava traveled on the express trains, and yet tje pped was usually very cautious and very slow, more especially daring the crrssineof any high embankment. The Apennines scenery is not Tinlike thntof the Allegbanie--about Cheat river, through which the Baltimore and Oüio railroad pass?. There is a great varie'y, aDd sometimes beautiful vistas open before jo'j. but tbe general appearance is of wild sterility. Bit as soon as THB LEVEL COUNTRY Is gained, everything is changed. The land is 16yj1 and rich, and every inch of it appears to be cultivated. There certainly appears to be more made of and out of the land than In any country that I have seen. Fences are cot as mocb used as in England or America, but the country is full of low, odd looking trees planted 1c rows, perhaps fi teen or twenty feet apart. These are mulberry trees from which the farmer reaps a valuable crop, not of fruit, but of leaves. The bole or atem of these tret s is never suffered to reach over from ten to fifteen feet in height. The limbs are constantly trlmed and . cut off. This is done to make a vigorous outgrowth of young shoots, and of course, yourg leave?, which are much more valuable than tbe old one?. Then these trees serve as supports for grape vices, one of walch is planted by every tree. These vines are often carried eight to tea feet from the ground, from tree or tree. After this tbe ground is thoroughly cultivated and sown with wheat or other grain. Some of the best growing wheat that I have S3en this year was growing in fields like these. Thus a good triple crop is raised in one field at one time. When 1 first cume to Italy I could not Imagine where the immense loads of brushwood, bound in fagzotc, came from until I saw tbe trimmings of th6sa trees. This small light brushwood, which would be considered worthless with as, Is valuable here in makiog the quick-cooking fires whicb they use. In some parts of this country the land, though rich, is low and wer, and has to be drained by deeo open ditches. Bnt a heavy row of mulberry trees are always teen on each side. Mulberry leaves, as alt know, are the food of tbe industrious, though not very graceful insect, that furnishes our aristocratic ladles with their elegant silk and satin dresseB. Northern Italy hts long been celebrated for its immecsa production of raw silk. I have seen a statement ol the amount exported last yaar which was very large. Vast quart tits of it are bougLt in Turin, MilaD, and other place, and sold to French manufacturers and merchants while it is in tbe cocoon state. There are some curious facts respecting silk growing. I was informed, while in Tur n by a very Intelligent gentiemiD, that a large portion of the profitably productive eilk makers, ( worm) were generated Irom eggs brought from Colna and Japan, and that in Turin several large firm were engaged exclusively In this business. You will, no doubt, recollect the valuable cargo wnlcb cime through Indianapolis lass spring, on it3 way to this SILK GROWING COUNTRY, Who ever thought of how many thousand yards of silk lay undeveloped in that car load of precious merchandise. It ap pears that the eggs imported from Asia produce the moat vigorous, hearty and profitable worms. Tbe ha'.cnlng, feeding and taking care ci mis curious insf ot require both care aod experience. Many of the farmer use their own leaves, while others sell them to silk growers. The better the dainty gentleman is fed and protected, the larger and more elegant will be tbe cocoon he will spin In which to enclose his precious body, but which, contrary to his design, will form the elegant adornment ot soma fair lady. Iu crossing tbe plains of Lombardy I saw tbe bridge of Iodl. where Napoleon, impelled as by a sadden inspiration, seized tbe colors from his wavering troops, and carried the important position. Then 1 passed the great battle field of Areola where he conquered the Austrian. We passed too within sight of Solferino where Napoleon III won his first laurels, and through Villa Franca, where the peace of that name was concluded between the two nations. And so I might refer to many other bloody conflicts fought upon this great battle ground. After passing Milan, which I have before described, we continued on onr road to Turin through a low flat country capible of Irrigation, In which were manv large rice fields. We now came in sight cf tbe Alpine range of mountain. A few hours before reaching '

Turin Magenta was called. Who does net recollect the great battle between tbe combined armies of Italy and France and the Austrlans. in which tbe latter wrre defeated and Italy treed from the yoke that had galled he r so long. As I looked aero tbe battle ground now a fertile field I could bardly realize that here fell in deadly strife 16,700 hUlwart men, beeide thousand who were wounded and afterwards went limping to their graves. I saw tbe mounds and the crosses where many thousands were buried, where they bad fallen in heaps. Here tbe present ruler ol France, by whose strategy and valor the great vic

tory was acbieved. was made marshal of France and Duke of Magenta. These places are mrmorab'e and intensely interesting, not because the soil has been soaked with precious human blocd, but because tbe destiny of nations depended upon the issue of the conflict. The fetters of the rich country, over which we have traveled, were then struck off and Italy became a great, united cation. Turin THE CAPITAL OF SAVOY la a beautliul city. It i location Is eminently so. It is situated in a plain at tbe foot of the Alps whess towericg heights seem almcst to look down into the chimneys of the houses. The streets are wide and spacious. Many of them have rows cf trees on each side. One very marked leature is tbe long row of arcades that extend fcr several miles on the sides of the principal busioei-B streets. This protection from sun and rain make shopping quite a luxury, and gives additional facilities for the dicp'ay oi gocds. Tbe stores of Turin and tbe ttyle of goods are more elegant tan in any city that I have seen in Italy. We visitsd all the most noted placid, among them tbe royal palaee, whicb baa always been occupied Dy the Kings of Sardinia, Victor Emanuel's ancestors. In tbe gorgeously furnished rooms we were shown, by a portly gentleman in livery and a gold laced, cocked bat, the portraits of all tbe king's relations and ancestors, and everything else that was of interest, even to the queen's private boudoir and chapel. Tbe armory contains an exceedingly choice selection of interesting ob jects, among wnlch are some of tbe most superb suits of armor I have ever seen, and likewise a fine collection of genuine Damascus and Toledo blades of a temper so perfect that no modern artisan can equal them, I saw tbe sword that Napoleon wore at Marengo, and a large number of other things ot great historical interest. I found another object- in this great city well worthy of my attention, and that was tbe Tempio Valdese, or the Waldets'.an Protestant Church, a very handsome mod ern edifice, built mainly by tbe Sardinian government, rim, iDdeed, brings round strange revolution?, and this smely is one. Tost toe dependent ol the relentless tyrant who harried and persecuted these original Protestant?, who had preserved the pure light or tue gospel in these mountain fas - nesees when ail E ircpa was in the deepest darkness that thU man, himself a Catho lic, should not only give them free toleration, but should build tnem a handsome house of worship in the capital city cf Piedmont Is a fact well worthy of attention. As we passed up tiie valley we saw their village, one alter ancther, some In the valley and some of them nesiliog in a cosy place half way up the mountain, each with its little church, without the papal sign of acre s j. I could, in im gination, see the bands of ruthless persecutors enter ing these quiet villages and slaying, as they did, indiscriminately its Innocent inhabitants. How forcibly Milton's grand old sonnet came to my mind: Avenge, O Lord, Thy slaughtered saints, whose do ues Lie scattered on the Alpine mountains cold; Even tkem who kept Thy truth so pare of old. When ail our fathers worshiped stocks and stones Forget not ; In Thy book record their groans. Who were Thy sheep, and in their ancient fold Slain by the bloody Piedmonteee that rolled Mother with lniant down the rocks. Their moaas The vales redoubled to the hills, and they ro neaven Who does not honor tue stern old Puri tan Cromwell, who declared that if this HASSACRS OF PKACEFUL PEOPLK did not stop, tie castle oi St. Angelo should hear the sound of EogllBh gune. It is said that this nienaca bad tbe desired effect upon the real author of tLess outrages, who well knew the power of Cromwell's areas and the s;ern truthfulness of his word. The J iurney from Turin to the Mount Cents tunnel, which is o' only a few hours, U iu Itself one of great beauty and interest. Tbe tram seems fcr some time to be approaching the great A'pine wall that aim )st reaches tbe skie?, aod is cov ered with scow. But it winds up the ro mantic vUey of Dora Ripir'.a, pa5s.ng many curicus little villages which test.e beside g. eat rocks, and borne lovely b.ts ot landscape, picturesque and beautiful. It tLea becomes a gorge, wild, lonely and savage. Tbe ' grade of the road is bt&ep as we ap; roach the bole under tbe mountain. Great engineering skill and immense labor had to be used betöre this could be reached. Twenty-five tunnels and immense embankments' were necessary in coming up this valley. The mouth ot tbe tunnel is 4,277 feet above tbe see. Many people in passing think that tte air is close and difficult to breathe. I did not find it so, though I watched its effects very careiuliy. When we had for a quarter of an hour been traveling into toe heart of tbe mountain, and had nearly 4,000 feet of Alpine rock above up, I thought it was the deepest grave ttatl hai ever been in. About half an hour from the time ot entering, we emerged on the otner siae, ana were in trance. We now descended another steep erade. and nr. rivnd at Modane, where our baggage was examined. I will here bear testimony to the urbanity and gentlemanly politeness or an me government oflicia a we have met, tierman, üswib?, Italian and French. xce country for several hours after leav ing tbe tunnel was mountainous and sterile. Lyjus, tbe great emporium ol the siiK ir.ae, is a Deautnul city, situa ed on Djta siaes oi me unone. i expected to una it like the great manufacturing towns of England, full ot large factories. But I iiardly saw a factory chimney. The weav ing ia done by band. Thousands of ailk looms are rattling in private houses all over the city.

IT GROWS BETTES EVKRY DAT THB GOOD OLD DATS A MYTH TWO FAMOUS WOMBS OF ABCIKNT DATS NINON Dl LNCL08 AND MARION DKLARME THEIR THOUGHTS AND DKKD8 A WOMAN'S RETROSPECTION. Special Correspondence of the Seatlnel.l Louisville, Kr., April 29. In the presset day we are continually saying, What are we coming to?" '-The world grows worse every day," etc., etc. Now, the world is ten tioioa better tn-ria? M an it was cemmles ago. Thera la less cruelty amoiig men, less ambition among mou-

archs.less morality In society, lew bigotry

in religion and more faith in mankind. When we refer to history for the "good old days" we hear eternally set np as a paragon, what will we find? That the world is better in every respect to-day than it was then, when poor Galileo was thrust into prison tor daring to enlighten his countrymen as to the planet on which they lived. Tasso, whose lips were never known to wear a smile, wa-i cast into prison because he dared to show the passion that God had planted in bis heart, when the immortal Michael Angelo through the tyranny of Julius II. was compelled to stifle the idealistic in bis poetic nature and flee the anger of the pontiflcial monster who was continually find leg fault with the "frozen muUc"of tbe grfeat paint; r, when the p tiless passion of ambition mada brother poison brother to wear hi purple. Road the history ot Africa, and Eee the condition ot tbe Egyptians who at one time, when Europe was in the babyhood of civilization, were tbe models ot the old world. See England's history of "the good o!d days." and we shall see life torn asunder and blood answering blood. Then, too, France. And who that has read The bcarlet Letter" will say we are net better to day than we were then, fcr cruelty and lack of Christian charity la shown in our land by our puritan ancestors. Tbe world is better to-day than it was even a century ago, and grown better every day. Where would we find in this modern age courtesans, women steeped in Immorality, holding sway over our eminent law-givers, aa they have d)ua iu France "in the good old days." Let us lock at one or two of tneae emblems of the "social evil." For instance the celebrated beauty, Ninon de L'Encloc, who, it she said or wrote half the things that poets, scholars, scientists and philcs ophej 8 attributed to her, must have been a perfect encyclopedia. But her Immorality robs ber worth of goodness or romance. That she was exceedingly heautiful in the aiternoon of lite is a lact. Historians who condemn her morals admit that. Even at tbe advanced age of eighty she was so skilled in the art of rejuvenation and fascination that she had tbe great men of the day at her feet. She died at tbe age of 95, alter having lived 80 years of a lile that showed i ANYTHING BUT PURITY for Its record. The following extracts referring to her sex I translate as coming from her pen: "Men are to blame Ii women do cot love women." "There are two classes of men that are pleasing to the fair sex tbcs9 who love them and those who desert them." "There are more men effeminate by their weakness of heart than there are women strocg by tbeir power ot mind." ''No man can thoroughly enjoy lire unless he hai a woman at his side." ,4In love, a handscm9 yourg man is not alwajs tempt ing, but he is certainly compromising, "It requires more tact to command love than to command an army." "Love i only strong through our own weakness." "When a woman ceases to love a man, she ceases also to think with any pleasure on tbe kindnesses she has received at Lihands." "A young woman whose virtue is guarded by a sentinel resembles a slave in chains, who If unloosed. would take advantge of the situation and embrace liberty at any cost." "Beauty without grace is Lke a fish-hook without bait." "Love is like a lever, it has moments when the pulse is so eveu one thinks herself convalescent, then again dead." "No woman should encourage by her silence the firtt advances of her lover, for love Is tyrannical, usnrps all aod aspires to make continual progress, and is only satisfied when desin s are dead." "Men are particularly good natured when women pardon them ior some passing infidelity. Mark a man who baa been out late at night to some club or place which he cares not to reveal. He will be particularly tender to bis wife. It she is qniet and believes all his businesslike representations, his conscience hurts him so he can not help saying sweet things to the innocent object of bis deception." I doubt if Ninon was capable of fudging what a husband would say, her experience was so much in the plural. Hence it is possible some faithless spouse i explained it to ber. She Bald love was naturally capricious. She evidently did not agree with Michael Angelo, who said, "love It is a wing which God has given the soul to bring it nearer to Hina." She a?S3 called that divine paesion 4 au appetite, wbich one day liked one fiul', to-morrow another, without any special caiue lor the change." Again she saj 8, "love is a trairor with whom it is unsafe to play;" ' Poets were txls t give tbe son of Venus a torch, a bow and arrow, because the p jwer of tbagod is only in Lis blindues3. While he is blind he lovee, t nd never reflects. R -niove his blindness, let him reflect, ana te loves no longer. Ah, when love's intoxication passes away how we do laugh at our follies. Love like pride is strouger when fallen or ofle ded." Heaven forbid that Ninon - de L'Enclos should be our model as to what love is asd what it is not. MARION DE LARME, the wife of the unfortunate 'Cinq Mars," who, though the chere amle of R chlieu and a woman of immoral character, deemed all that was spiritual love, and what Ninon deemed love, tbe fair Marlon deamed passion. This she took no dontt from her own life, bbo was mixed up in tbe politics of that ep)ch and showed v6ty little of the tender tQward her husband. Bat wberi she heard bis life was in the hands of the cruel Cardinal Richelieu, then did ' she give an example of wifely devotion, and when all her efforts to procure bis pardon failed, and he was put to death, she turned her wrath on Richelieu's bead and made his ears deaf with curses louder and darker than tbe "curse of Rome." She attem pted her own lite by poison, but failiug, deemed that God let her live to repent her pat. Some historians paint her as still catrylngon her old life ot intrigue after tbe death of "Cinq Mars," while others say that she retired to the se clusion ot aconvent. From the little I gathered from various French authors 1 believe in the better aide of Marlon da Larme, whom Victor Hn A ht torn 6uscitated In his play of. that name.

Marie Courcelles. THE TOOTH OF TIME. THE MANNER IN WHICH IT IS DEALING WITH THB ENGLISH CHUBCH BEQUESTS TO THE HETERODOX. ' Conway writes from London to the Cin cinnati Commercial: A very eccentric German prince-father of the present Quee n Augusta once said that he would like to be an Infinite Dentist, in order that he might extract the tooth of Time. The tco'h in question is a grinder, and, if it doesn't shew any signs of decay or bring any scfl?rring to its venerable owner, does, no doubt, bring some trouble to many people bieidea German princes. It is, I suppose, tbe work of the Tooth ol Time that we flßd clergy m'-n unable to defend tbe devil's existence, except at a cost ot ten thonsand pounds, while noted heretics flourish close to tbe t pot where they used to be burnt. Two dajs ago Professor Huxley opered a letter and found in it a cheque or a tnousatd pounds, which Mr. ThomafSfn, lor.g known as a wealthy manufacturer at Bolton, desired on hisdeata bed should be sent to him as a mark ot bis esteem. Mr. Thomassen's esteem for Huxley arcse chiefly from the effective blows which be considered tbe latter had administered to orthodoxy. Not long ago a country gentleman bo queathed a much larger sum to Charles Bradlaugb, and though THB CASE HAS GOT INTO LAW through another will inconsistent with tbe bequeBt, and it is probable that Bradlaugh will reach its advantages only In part, it is significant of the extent te which heresy is pervading tbe wealthier classes. Last week Mr. Charles James Fox, of Liverpool, bequeathed 100 to Bradlaugb, who never saw him, this being one of the several sums C. B. baa received la',ely. It is enough to make tbe bones ol tbe famous rival of Piatt, and champion of the then prince of Wale?, rattle in their coffin that man bearing hjs name should bequeath money to the iconoclast of New Science Hall, and personal impeacber ot tbe present prince of Wales. It is whispered, also, that Professor Tycdall, the prayerless, is to be made a baronet, or at le-avt that tbe aristocratic circle, with which he has long been a favorite and has now been connected by marriage, are trying to persuade him to accept that title. The antl-Chrlstlan clergyman, CnarleVoyeey, wouli likewise appear to have moneyed men behind him, tor he bus started a half-crown monthly, the Lanebam Magazine, devoted to a concentration ot wide-epread Lere-les of clergymen and laymen ot the Church of England, whose common aim is to make tbe establishment a great fountain of treetbought. But tbe tooth ot time is, I suspect, dealing with the Enzlisb Church in a wiser way than these gentlemen antlclpata. FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE. THE PRESENT ENGLISH RAGE FOR SPELL ING Bit KS AND RINSING AN ENTERPRISING AMERICAN AT TBE BOTTOM OF IT. Conway writes from London to the Cin cinnati Commercial: The English calthe new rage tor pedestrianism and spelli lng bees the "foot and mouth disease." Weston, though for some reason be tailed in his great effort in London, is astonishing tbe provincial towns with his feat ot walking a hundred miles in a day. Tbe finest walker who attempts to rival him. Perry, only makes ninety-seven miles in the same length of time thus far. Tbe spelling bees are still ia LIgh favor, and men are parading the streets every day bearing advertisements of them. They are modified Into geographical bees and musical bees, where the competitors ara required to answer any geographical question, or on the moment to sing or p'ay on the piano difficult music at sight, or to answer any technical question in music. But the foot disease, whicb has become tbe moBt deep seated in this vicinity, I "rinklrg." Skating rinks sro eprlnging np on every side, and the demand is so great that the proprietor of one of our pleasante&t theaters, the Queen's, has been induced to turn it into a rink. I am sorry to say that the enterprising American, Mr. Plimpton, who started this amusement in England (nt Brighton), has become involved in NO END OF LAWSUITS. It might have been anticipated that a man who was making money as fast as he was would hot be allowed to have it all bis own way. As near as I can get at the facta through tbe lawyers, Mr. Plimpton in vented a modification ot his wheeled skate. The original skate, bound firmly to the foot, was tco stiff to allow of all tbe felicities and whirls attainable on ice by skaters; but one day Mr. Plimpton observed that the best skaters preferred those ekates wbich were less rigid, and whose footboards rocked a little, being able on such skates to accomplish a greater variety of feats. He availed himself of this hiot. originally an accident, and contrived a new skate wUU fpQt-board contrived so a to rock. But several other men found it out, and beean to make similar skates. Mr. Plimpton would have done better to make the licenses to use his patent cheaper, tho patent being doubtful, but he his undertaken to restrain others by Injunction, which costs him a good deal of money. He has been tbe means of closing for a time several brilliant rinks, and is, consequently, less popular than be .was. Tbe demand for rinks at Brighton is so great that seven rinks are required for tr aV population, which numbers about a hundred thousand.
