Naples, Italy, Jan'y 10, JS93.
(From our special correspondent)
We have returned soaked and disappointed from Vesuvius. Our clothes
aud our tempers have heen ruined;
Cook, the excursion fiend has fallen in
our estimation and "Vesuvius is simply
heneatn our notice. We went to the
crater in a rain that was sufficient to
have put out the volcano. We have
jolted miles in a springless wagon, we
have ridden springless donkeys, we
have waded in ashes lo our ankles, and
all this in the interest of pleasure.
We left Naples about nine o'clock iu
the morning under the supervision of
Cook and in one of Cook's wagons.
The morning was not altogether promising but "hope springs eternal" and
we thought the day would probably be
clear—Naples was just beginning to
really wake up for the day, for the
dolce far nieute of the people begins by
lying in bed in the morning. At last
we reached the open country and while
the clouds gathered overhead our spirits were kept up by a baud of strolling
musiciana who walked along by the
carriage and sang "Santa Lucia" and
other delightful songs, varying them
occasionally with "Daisy Bell" in honor of our nationality and seeming disappointed when we failed to look appreciative. We stopped at a little
mountain inn where our honest driver
who probably shared profits with the
proprietor, told us we could get the
best wine in all Italy. At tbe next
stop we left the carriage and mounted
donkeys to cross the lava fields. At
this moment Nature's feelings Overcame her and as if in anticipation of
the fate that awaited us, began to weep
Everyone commented gleefully on the
fact and we mounted the diabolical
beasts, as Premier Olliver said when
the French started to Berlin with
"light hearts." When we reached
that spot on our return we had teen
Vesuvius but a strange tiilenco had fallen on all the party, and those who
found voice at all lifted it in declaring
that henceforth their mission would be
to dissuade others from the ascent of
the volcano. An incompatibility had
sprung up between all tlio members of
the company and eyes that looked love
at the beginning of the trip were now
singularly inexpressive behind straight
ened bangs, and under dripping huts.
Probably the donkeys wore no worse
than other donkeys, Dut the road they
had to travel was but a rough path and
it seemed to me that any solf-resp joking donkey would not have taken advantage of so many rocks iu the road for
the purpose of stumbling as these innocent-looking animals did. The saddles
were not fastened securely and the
guides, one of whom accompanied each
rider and shouted dreadful threats to
the donkeys, were expected to hold the
saddles on. When the donkey fell
down, the saddle slipped forward and
cuffed the animal ou the head. When
he went up a hill it settled insecurely
on his tail and finally, when the guide
had grown tired of holding it on, it
tumbled off altogether.
The rain at last began Lo pour and
the wind rushed violently down the
mountain, It was impossible to hold
umbrellas and* qold, wet and disheart=
ened the party reached the station of
the f uniculaire rot'd that leads up to the
steep, yielding, ashy couo to within a
few hundred yards of the crater of the
volcano.
The only fire in the restauraut was
in tho kitchen and tbe head-waiter,
who speaks live languages and probably
gets about §20 a month, invited us to
warm ourselves, an invitation wo gladly accepted. When the world had assumed a brighter hue through the
medium of an omelette and steak, we
started up the mountain again. The
road is almost perpendicular and one
feels much more as if the ascent was
being made in ac elevator thau ou a
rail i rack. It is called a funiculaire'.
but it is really a cable with double
tracks aud tho cars are balanced so
they pass each other midway of the
disianeo. On either side are the great
fields ol lava and ashes, the former, of
course, now cooled and in the most fantastic shapes, in whieh, as in clouds,
one sees most clearly what his fancy
suggests. Perhaps it was the influence of the donkey ride and the weather, but it seemed to me Dora's illustrations of Dante's "Inferno" might havo
been photographs of these formations.
At the top Of the fuuiculairo we were
invtby a new relay of guides who took
off their big coats and wrapped ihem
about the drenched women ih the party. Chairs carried by four men were
to be had for those unable to walk to
the crater. A guide went ahead of
each of us and throwing a strap over
his shoulder told us to hold on tight and
lsan back. One's sympathy for the
guide prevents his leaning back very
far at first, but later sympathy is lost
in fatigue and one resigns himself to
being pulled bodily up the hill through
the ashes. The crater was pointed out
to us and wo were warned not to go
too close, but we saw nothing but a
place a little more foggy than the
dense mist covering the mountain: we
saw the running lava which ■ looked
temptingly warm, and the sulphur,
which was a bright yellow and smelled
like a. match factory. Descending the
hill again to the furniculaire; the
ladies hung limply on the arms of the
guides and regardless of best shoes and
silk underskirts, suffered themselves
to.be dragged through the fine gray
ashes, too weary and wet to protest.
At the lower station a ttop of several hours was made in anticipation of a
clearing up of the weather, a hope that
proved to be vain, however. During
this time the registry album, a large
blank book in which tourists may find
a place to relieve their feelings, furnished us diversion. We were called
upon to be proud of our erudite countrymen and women when we found
these inscriptions after the big black
U. S. A.— "It must be seen to be appreciated," "Grand beyond all description." "I imagined it a furnace fanned
by "a hot and raging godess to avenge
her wrath.,, Another had written,
"We should have it for Chicago," and
still another of a less practical nature,
summed up tho description of it in
thrfe words: "Grand, gloomy and peculiar;" a man who had a day like ours
for the ascent had written:
"The day is dark, and cold and dreary,
The rain and mists are never weary.
It is too dreary, chill and damp
For ought but to snuftle, cuss and
stamp."

Marshal Peterson was informed Tuesday that, the engineer on the Ann Arbor train which arrives from the north
at noon had blown his whistle almost
iucessantly after arrival inside the. city
limits. The marshal notified the local
agent that if the thing was attempted
again he should take the engineer from
his train and place him under arrest.
The agent telegraphed to Whitmore
Lake and told the engineer of Wednesday's train that he had better confine
the news of his arrival in town to the
ringing of the boll.—Argus.
In looking over the hundred and
ninety-two marriage licenses issued last
year, a peculisr feature was noticed.
Not a single young lady had been made
au "old mail's darling" and there was
no unusual dive nee between the ages
of any couple. As a rule there was an
average of about two years difference
between, the grooms' aud brides ages.
The greatest difference was in the case
of a groom from Whitcford aged 46 and
the bride, from Summcrfleld, aged 1G.
Nearly every county has a wider difference in ages, than Monroe. No intermarriage of races are on record—Monroe Democrat,
