As we drove to Vesuvius on the first day of our arrival, our eye was attracted, at every few squares of this illimitable city, by high altars, resembling the pagodas we saw at the World s Exhibi tion. They consist of rough framework, surrounded by cloth of gold, gems and spangles, great stars and red tinselling. They look like large political platforms, done up in gaudy dress. Pre parations were being made to illuminate the city. Lanterns of divers colors hung from garlands of green about the a...ltars, across streets and at every door. Artificial fountains there were too, around which flowers were wreathed and paintings placed. As we returned from Pompeii, which we visited day before yesterday, we saw the illumination and the people. A gush of hilarity seemed to run all through Naples. These children of the sun, how they do revel in pleasure upon such days as this ! They save throughout the year, to eat their choicest maccaroni upon Corpus Domini. Crowds were collected about the altars listening to music.
