The correspondence which has recently appeared in our columns, more
especially the strongly worded protest of the Vice President of the
Municipality, who, to our mind goes, out of his way to answer charges that
have not been made, affords an excellent opportunity
When the Vice-President of the Municipality goes so far as to acouse the Editor of this paper of allowing letters "which he himself perfectly well knows to be mendacious," to appear in its columns, and when, further, sach a charge may have been read by people who were not sufficiently interested in the question" to read the letters of which he complained them- selves, or may have passed over one or the other, it is incumbent upon us to closely soratinise the letters themselves and see how far they bear th interpretation placed upon them. "A.G.'s" letter is mainly an attack not on members of the Municipality, but on the electoral law under which such abases as he describes are most undoubtedly possible, and he uses some very plain language in dealing with these. His remarks as to the fitness of certain retiring councillors for the position they have occupied do not pass beyond the bounds of legitimate criticism, and it has to be re- membered that the exclusion of the Press from the deliberations of the Council effectually prevents us from forming an opinion as to whether or not the strictures passed by our correspondent are or are not well deserved. If a body of public men deliberately shut the door in the face of Press reportera, they have only themselves to blame if the public declines to ba satisfied with the official report of proceedings which alone is vouch- safed to the electors. "Veritas in his letter expressly states that the motives of candidates for election "may be innoxions" while he, in his turn points out the open door which the self seeking man is invited to enter by the existing state of things. We consider his remarks do express the opinions of some of the public. But this is a very different thing to "viralently attacking all the Municipal Councillors and accusing them without exception of dishonesty." There is not a single passage in the letter signed "Veritas" that will bear this construction Few Englishmen who know anything of Ma nicipal life as it should be,, and as it is elsewhere, will be found to quarrel with our correspondent's description of Alexandria's Municipality and its doings as a farce. Cairo under state government control is in- finitely better off than this city under "re- presentative" Government. In the former city you can walk along the foot-paths of the leading thoroughfares without risking falls through broken and uneven pavements, and in this respect the state of Old Bourse-street is simply a disgrace to this town. So little supervision is exercised that, when a few months ago the pavement on the east side was taken up in order to lay a service of pipes, it was replaced without any attempt to repair it, and down went the old broken stones into their former places.
There are plenty of permanent officials in the service of the municipality-about four to every elected councillor-but apparently not enough to ensure the safety of pedestrians! Whether a letter which appeared in our columns a few months ago reporting a serious accident (caused by the very broken pavement we have mention- ed) came under the notice of three responsible, we cannot say, but we do know that to this ay the foot-path remains in the same condition, And we fear is likely to. Oar "City Fathers" have more important business to attend to st their secret meeting! But we must not despair. The correspondenca on which we have com- mented shows that there is a certain amount of sensitiveness to publio opinion, and perhaps before long this same public opinion may make itself felt to a greater extent than bas hitherto been the case. When that time comes we hope some step will soon follow that will give us in Alexandria a Municipality worthy of the name, and of which its citizens may be proud. It would be a sad thing if, while in so many direc tions Egypt is advancing by leaps and bounds, monicipal life should remain stagnant and unprogresstve.

Ir is announced that the board of direotors of the Natior a1 Bank of Egypt are unanimously in favour of Sir Vincent Caillard succeeding the late Sir Elwiu Palmor as Governor of the bauk.
We believe that the decisi"n of the board has Dot yet received Lord Cromer's confirmation. If it does, Sir Vmoent is to be corgra tnlated on h*s app hutment, which will be hand ome solatium for the rebuff he baa jost received at the general election at the hands of the Radicals of Els'; Brad ford, who refneed to return him ta the II >use of Commons.

The annual general meeting of the British Chamber of Com» ene of Bgypt was held on Wednesday, the 7th inst., at he offitesof
'. Park nson. The president's speech, review | The ohsirmxn sxid that the shareholders ing the work done by hs Chamber daring the would have gathered from the notice conven- put year, was as follows :— I ing 'he meeting that progress bad been made
"I will now ask you, gentlemen, to receive wi'h the negotiations fur the reorganisation and approve the accounts for the last year, of the 8ncre ies et Bafiherie d'Bgypte. The They have been printed and circulated amoDg Coor'a in Egypt had fixed the 10th of Feb- yon prior to this meeting, and, as yon will rnary next as the date on which the arrange notice, are somewhat different in form from ment agreed to for settling the claims of those of previous years. They are not, as the creditors and for the reorganisation was formerly, a mere statement cf reo'ipts aud-r to be submitted for their approval. Ths events expenditure.
. lie monthly journal of the Chamber is entirely self -upportiog, and our list of impaniea (a new edition of which we have published daring the year) has also more than paid its way. The work done by the Chamber briefly as follows: A large number of enquirer have been answered and many members as-otted in obtaining ageDts in Egypt.
considerable number, also, of confidential reports on the financial position of proposed agents and others have been aupp'ied to sob so ribs re, and an employment reqi-ter has been menced. In more than one instance, the Chamber has been of service to its members in securing the paymeut of outstanding a-O'.unts, though this is perhaps soaroely within the scope of our operations. To meet the wii-bts of certain non-Br.rish snhjeots, they have heen permitted to share in the bentfita of the Cnsmbers. They pay th. tame sub-o iption as members, but are uot allowed to attend the merti. gt nor to vote. The Chamber hxs been in oine-poudeoce with Lord Cromer with regard to the promulgation of a lite-boat scheme for Alexandria. I he Egyptian Government did not see their way to Anting the necessary foods, bat the Chambar w-a invited to asoer the views of the steam .hip agents and merchants on the sohjeot of voluntary contribn- m. to the scheme. Tne shipowners, I regret say, all refused to contribnte, and the scheme has, therefore, fallen through. Your commitue wis approached by the Egyptian War Offite in c mneotion with the arbitration in a dispute over certain large consignments of gnnny bags.
.iderable amount of oorrespondence ensue !, and I have every reason to believe that the Government wax satisfied with the servioes rendered.
In AOgnst last, we approached ths Post Ofhoe authorities with regard to ths weekly Brindisi mail, and the Postmaster General was kmd enough to arrange for an extra sorting van to be attachid to the mail train direct f om Port Said to Alexandria ; with ths result, as you are aware, that during'he winter mo thx we now receive the mail on Wednesday sf er on, instead of, as formerly, on Thursday morning.
' The monthly journal has, I think, been ap- p eeixted. A number of our artioles have bnen quo e 1 in various trade j .nrnals,—notably the Home Government Board of Trade pobliovion, which extracts from other Chamber of Commerce journals seldum, if ever, appear. Another point is thst the jon nal is DOW publubs 1 always within a week of the olore of the previoos month, to that members get their .formation much more ap-to-date than formerly. The Chamber was asked to assist in the oreation of ao exhibition in Bgypt for Britiah manufactures. It was impossible, h w-ver. to get the assurance of satisfactory fiotnoial inpport, and the pn-joot fell through.
"Another matter to which attention has be»n given duringAho past year is ths quextion folding and marking oottOD piece goods import ed from Burope. As you are aware, the law i» io need of certain alterations to oope with the taotice adopted by unsornpaloos merchants. We have been ia oorre«p todence with the i>ed Kingdom and Iod'a on the subject, hat far have not been ab e to obtain the n •oessary data to unable us to make repreeentattoos to the Government."
Votes of 'hanks ware than aooorded to the Chambers' honorary legal advixera, Mr. W. R- B. Briscoe and Mr. A. 8. Preston, to the honorary auditor?, Mee?rx Russell, Kerr and Wyatt, and to Messrs. Carver Brothers for their kindnexs in allowing the use of their offices for committee meetings.
A vote of thanks to the president concluded he proceedings.

M- Chamberlain in a long letter to Leri Ki 1'cy stats' that he haa no desire for the leadership, but repudiates any suggestion dropping tariff reform as being inconsistent with Mr. Balfour's own statements. He L:>s asked for a meeting ot party reorewntatives to discuss tboir future policy. If the majori'y favours dropping the question, be will form group who will be ready to cooperate with tb ir Unionist colleagues for common objects, but be cannot accept a policy of inaotion and my-ti- fication regarding the main object of tbtir political life. He enphasues the necessity f r the reorganisation ol the party machinery.
Mr Balfour, yesterday, consented to convene a meeting of his party.
The Unionist papers welcome the letter as indicating that the crisis is at an end, but the Balfonrite newspapers such as the "Da ly Graphic" and "Daily Telegraph" insist that tariff reform most be subordinate to the necessity for defending Conservatism against the dangers of R tdicalism and Socialism.

Ou Friday afternoon the 'soooer* match was won by Sues, who soorei 2 goals to I. (Maoscll kicked both for Saez, the latter from a fins •oentre' by Harris). There was a decided lack of 'dash' all over the field daring the first half, until the audible excitement of the speotators pot some life into the players, the last half being moat keenly contested.
In the evening a Billiard matoh was held, both aides putting forward a couple: 4CO op was played in relays; in the first Mansell (206) beat Mason (121) giving Snrz a lead of 8) ; Templeman added to the lead fioishiog up 401 to Moser's 299.
Hockey was played on Satcrday morning in a high wind, which at times shifted a good deal of sand. Suet palled off the match with 4 goals (Harris 2 aud Harrison 2) to 3. an indication of the hard fooght game it was.
On Saturday afternoon the teams mot for R°gby,(we believe the first time Rugby has ever beeo played inSoez);the matoh waa oot started till 4.15 p.m. to enable Mr. Hioka, who arrived from Cairo at 4.0 p.m. to join our visitors Neither side could muster more than 13 men, which of conrse means a "scrum" of 7 and 3 three quarters. It waa evident that seve-al players in both teams were not used to the game, but af er a scrum or two they sett'ed down to

The International Commission of delegates of ths several associations of Alexandria, in assembly ou the 12th January last, on tie initiative of La Bocieta del Rieorgimtnto decided to proteot the interests of the inhr- bitints of. Alexandria against the deoisions oi the Corps Mldical as to the new tarif.
The delegates commanioate the following statement : —
made in the meetings of the 5th.and 12 January in Aiaemblea.
A long interview between the partiee in which the greatest courtesy has been kept and after many points have been argued and ideas exchanged between the Corpe Mtdical and the delegatee in Commission.
The resalt is :
1. That the Ordrt dee Medecine do not intend to change or derogate to the human- itary traditions which are the honour of the Medioal profession ; the order dee Medecirs shall always panne to oarry his duty with the most humanitary sentiments and toasslt with disinterest the patients.
9. The medical tarif published in the "Messaggiere Egitiano" as well iu other res poo table papers, its application is not for the (olasse oovriere, workiog people), but lor the persons in good stand of poaitioo.
8. That the same tarif has been established not to aggravate by ao augmentation the medium class, employ!*, working men neither especially the poor, bat for Urese whose position is daily fionrishiog and pay the doc tors, their cure, in a derisory and inoonacien- docs manner.
4. Every one of the Dootora whoee name is mentioned in the Tableau defOrdre and shall b j required for an advise or to assist a patient, who is in the impossibility to pay to the dootor his salary, (any one may be) the dootor is in doty and obliged to look on it. The doctor who shall refate his assistance will be blamed by the same ordre medioal
On that point especially, the Dr. Schiess Bey as well his colleague* Dr. Oibori e and Comm. Dr. Valensia have given the greatest assurances and have declared : If any one can givf proof that a Doctor has refuse! to make his report to the Ordre due Mldacins who will take all steps that snob an aotion will not be renewed again.
5. At last the Conseil de lOrdre with the views to give more security to what is exposed by them, they propose to modifi ate the first artiole of their status, vis :
" This association is with the view to gna- " ranteo the dignity ci ths mod oil oirps. " to survey the professional interests, and " those of ths pablio health and Dot

The -cTetary (Mr. F. J. Horne) having read the unlKo conve ing the meetir g and the
t,port it 'he auditors,
The chairman .aid: Before prooeeding to the V.usiiK is of th s meetiog I feel 1 most refer to the great nrrrovr with which we have heard ol the de »t h if our vice president (Sir Etwin [Minor. K.C.B.. K.C M.G.)in Cairo,on January ya, |rom typtioid fever. It is a blow to myself m .I others of the direo'ors personally, and, al- their gh we knew that we had to lose him from our herd in Egypt, we had hoped that lor a lot g time to come this company, and oar allied 1»: d i (mpmy, might have the advantage ol h's advice and experience in any oase of special need. AH i-ome of you are donbtless aware, 8ir Elwin Palmer was Financial Adviser to the U.ivernmtnt of Egypt wheo the Delta L ght Rsilvays was first under consideration, and took the greatest interest in the formation. Mom those days to the dose of his life we could always count on his oordial assistance and on bit great local business experience. You will doubtless, es usual, take the report as read, and I will first refer to the croomatsnoea which necessitated the adjournment of this meetiog As our business his increased, ithaa bi come more and more diffionlt to get our ao- coi.nts completed, audited both here and in Egypt, passed by the Egyptian Government, and sent out to the pr pnetors—especially to those abr ad—between September 3 (on which d*y our financial year has hitherto terminated) and the dose of the same calendar year Onr stuff iu the accounts department, a* elsewhere, is kept down to our normal requirement , and, in comequence ol representations made io ns from E^ypt of the undue pressure thnspnt npon them, and also ofthegeueral in convenience of having this heavy work to attend to at the commencement of the busiest season (f the year, we bad already decided npon a charge to March 81, which will bring our meeting iu future into the early part of July, probably. On the fiist oooasion (i.e., for the current period) the accounts mil necessarily be fur six months only. Before, however, the change c mid be effected, we were faced with the addition of the Helonan Railway, which thib'oompany baa acquired, and the laots of tbese accounts having been differently kept, and in a different language and for different periods from oars, of the concMsion being rli-similar, and some matters of detail requiring investigation aud explanation, it was tmpo* sib'e to get the acoonnts compiled by the osnal time, and even now rho># for the whole undertaking are nut iu all reepeota as complete as those of the Delta. I am, for this latter reason, compelled to confine myself to a few general remarks i pon the >exalt of the working of oar undertaking as a whole, and, as you w l1 havt gather) d from the omi-sion of some He'ouan tigu.-ea from our report, in view of the explena tii n shove given, it is only in regard to the Delta R»il«ays proper that I oan give yon the Qboal amount of information.
The inclusion of the Halouan Railway has added 16 miles to our length, whxb, with an 'average lor the year of 17} milea added to our former property, gives os an average open mi esge lor the year under review of 660 miles. '1 he He'ooan Railway, yon may be aware, is on the Ei glii-b gan. e (4 It. 8} in.) ; the re.t of our system is on the narrow gauge (3 ft. 6 iu > This is not very material, as the two do not c moeor, though both, I may met tic, do so with ibe Egyptian State Railways, which are 4 fr 8 in. gauge. In the one case oar wagons are interchangeable at the junction ; i . 'ho other goods have, of course, to be tran shipped. The addition to our narrow gauge Wis that of a branch from Kanayet to Sahraght. Siiice the close of our financ al year eight and a half additional miles have been opened n connection with the Afteh Edfina and Cairo (Jury branches, and the lines now node? construction will afford os cootinoons addi tions at early dates. Other lit es are ready t be undertaken in the Eastern and Gherbieb trovinoee. Onr average receipts per mile open have ri«en from £83i to £377. ai d per rni'e per week from £6 3H 91 to £7 6s. These iro proved figure* are due to oar acquisition of the Helonan line The earn this line for th» ye»r amoni ted to £43 230 10a.

Th, Money Market.
The same policy pursued by the Bank of England, that of keepiog op the rate of money in the market, being continued, there is no easing off at present and the bill-brokers are naturally di>contented at seeing large quantities of b'lls going abroad for discount at a rate ' ke 3 H- which is being paid in Germany, when they have to ask 4 per oeot. Ia the long ran, however, there is no doubt that the Bank is fight as reserves would certainly dwindle if the market were left to itself, and disoonnte mnch reduced. At the same time their ref real deputation from the Joint Stock Banks on the subject was not coarteou3. They are only charging } per cent over Bank rate for loans, instead of 1 per oent., and this minoea matters somewhat The tendenoy among the big hanks and financial booses to pnrsne an oltra-oonserva- tive polioy until after the Morcoco conference is conolnded, continne>, and no eras of the money situation is likely to be experienced for another month or more. At the same time, the present rates do not interfere with legitimate business, and speculation is already re dnoed to a minimum.
G)llt-"lg,d Saourft/M.
Ths stock markets have a pendulum tend ency, but the general movement in first-class securities is in an opward direction, and Consols have touohed 90}. The dosing quotation for these to-night is 901- Foreign Bonde.
Certain notonnded rumours, one respecting the alleged iuteution of the Japanese Government to issue, in the near future, another foreign loan, oansed Japanese stocks to be very dull in the early part of the week, and the quotations generally were lower, absurdity of the stories that were circulated has besn realised, and a much better tone no« prevails. Yesterday the pries rose f. and th ad*anoe has been maintained to-day Rnssians also have been doll, bat they are now firmer at 83}, a rise ou last week of 1}.
Railway,
Notwithstanding the favourable dividend reports, the home railway market, for aome reason not easy to perceive, has bsen very qaist throughout the week, and there has bsen no featn e of interest. The reductions in the dividends of the Metropo.itan and The North Lend .0, the former from 1) to t} and the latter from 5 to 4ft as compared with the corresponding period in the previous year, d d help mat Egyptian,.
The Bgyptian market has shown a little mote hie during the past week, and pnoee have advanced all round, especially in National Bank of Egypt, which rose rapidly yesterday on strong baying, and dosed 16}—t}. They finish to-day at 37} - (j. The last is*ne should be about 6} - } pm. The rise in National Banks would seem to prediot an exceptionally important appointment in the place of 8ir Klwia Palmer, and mnoh cariosity ia exhibited in the market as to who 8ir Ei win's snoeeaaor will be. Many names are mentioned, including Sir Vinoent Coibett and Haran Pacha, bat nothing official has transpired, and the suggestion of anch names is merely gue s work. It ia realised that a very strong man ia required, and we do not don br that the Governors realise this, as the future of the Bank will teem to largely depend upon this appointment It ia oartainiy a good sign that the shares are rising.
Agricultural Banks are better at yj—j, the ew shares at 9} -|. Daira bugar have also been bonght, the price to-night being 4}—6. Daira Ordinary and Deferred, oarion to relate, have been a very dnll market at 17} and 104 tespeotively. Delta Preference at llj and Delta Laud at 2 are practically unohangrd.
There h,s been some enquiry for Egyptian Maikeu on the basis of 1|— }, bat the dealers Dave n it been able to get on. Egyptian Estate* keep firm at 1 H.

Mining
During the greater part of the wrek there hot been little doing in the South African invk-t, bar jei'erday there wa* a revival of aetivity, and the shares received an appreciable amount of attention. To-day the tone is maintained.
The Bgyptian section has recovered somewhat since our lest, and though Nile Valleys relapsed at ODO time to 7i. 91, they left off last eight at 9s. l}d. They are quoted today at 9/- Egyptian Miner have also bean a little better, and are now 9/6. Urn Rus are unchanged at |—} and United Afrioans at

The ohief oauses of the decline have bsen pressure to sell by the Bull ol'quea in New York and New Orleans, the continned free crop movements, and a general reutiment to increase crop estimates. The troth seems to os that the enormous "Ball" campaign has broken down, beoause it beoame impossible, in •pits if ridionlons crop estimates, ginnen reports,and other Boll device*,to foroe cotton any higher. Thera may, of course, be a more or less important reaotion after this sharp deoline, but we have no faith in the maintenance of went high prices.

Cours de l'Association des Courtiers en Marchandises
The has much pleasure iu presenting to its subscribers the accompanying description of some of the many interesting routes by which they may travel homewards. Great care has been taken to arrange them as accurately and concisely, as Possible, and it will be found that none of them ate fraught with difficulty. In choosing the route home there arc several things to be considered. To begin with there is the difference in climate between Egypt and the various points at which yon may arrive in Europe. This depends partly UIHHI the month in winch you leave Egypt, for Cairo in January may lie a little warmer than the Riviera, and possibly not so wnnm as Sicily, hut in March it will IK? warmer (ban Rome, and more uniformly warm than many other places in Europe Many people leave Egypt far too early in the year, ior as a rule the wea her iu r%iril and May is perfect The wannest place to go to on leaving Egypt is Sicily. Some will want to take into consideration the number of days to be spent at sea, and we j therefore subjoin a list snowing the time occupied on each of the various routes between Egypt and the Continent of Europe. They are as follows : — The long sea routes—from Fort Said or 1 Alexandria to Plyroo, th, Southampton,London or Liverpqol—occupy about I t days. • The short ones are as follows :— Fort Said or Alexandria to Brindisi 3 days Alexandria to Messina 3 „ 1'nrlSaidorAlexandriatoMarseilles 5 „ Alexandria toVenice and Trieste... 4 „ Alexandria to Naples 3 „ Fort Said to Genoa 5 ,, j Fort Said to Naples 4 „ j Alexandria to Constantinople ... 4 , Alexandria to Pincus 2 „ i Port Said to Gibraltar 7 „ j The steamers, of tho P. & 0. North Gennan Lloyd, Orient and Messagerics Maritime.-! are the largest The Anchor, British India, und Bibby Lines are also excellent, and their steamers are largely patronised by travellers to Egypt. As regards the train journeys from Cairo, the shortest is that to Alexandria, without change (3 hours). That to Port Said, con now be rnude without change in 4i hours. The least expensive way to England is by the Moss, Papayanni, Prince, and Westcott lines ol steamers from Alexandria to Liverpool. TheGennan Levant line has also good steamers from Alexandria to Hamburg. The steamers, of tho P. & 0. North Gennan Lloyd, Orient and Messagerics Maritime.-! are the largest The Anchor, British India, und Bibby Lines are also excellent, and their steamers are largely patronised by travellers to Egypt. As regards the train journeys from Cairo, the shortest is that to Alexandria, without change (3 hours). That to Port Said, con now be rnude without change in 4i hours. The least expensive way to England is by the Moss, Papayanni, Prince, and Westcott lines ol steamers from Alexandria to Liverpool. TheGennan Levant line has also good steamers from Alexandria to Hamburg. The most expensive but quickest through Continental routes are by P. & 0. Brindisi express from Port Said, and the Austrian Lloyd Trieste-Vienna express from Alexandria. As regards heavy luggage, it must bo borne in mind that very little luggage is allowed free on the railways of Europe, out there are several good and responsible forwarding agents in Egypt who undertake at a fixed charge to deliver packages to any address in Europe. The quickest manner of getting to Europe from Port Said is undoubtedly by the fast Mail Steamers "Osiris" and "Isis" to Brindisi. One of these leaves Port Said every week, as as possible after receiving the Indian j mails from the great liner arrived from Bombay. These small but comfortable ships have enormously powerful engines, and attain a very high rate of speed. They are called the "Ferry boats," having been specially built to carry the British mail from Port Said to Brindisi. If jou arc going straight through to England yo will find the train waiting at Brindisi which will take you to Calais without changing. It has complete arrangements for sleeping and eating on bounl, and you should amve iu London on the fifth day from leaving Port Said.
he« also is a fine Cathedral. The Catania. Greek, Roman, and Saracenic remains that | are found all over the island, are an endless {sources of pleasure. SYRACUSE has an I interesting history, having been a Greek city, which was designed by Demosthenes in B.C. 413, and taken by the Romans in n.c. 212, when Archimedes was slain - his tomb is to be seen. The cathedral was once an ancient pagan temple. PALERMO, with a bo-1 300,000 inhabitants, is the capital of the Island, and enjoys a delightful climate. Much of interest is to be found in this fine city. The Palazzo Rente is of Saracenic origin and close to it the church of S. Hi -vannia degli Eremiti with its picturesq"e cloisters. The Cathedral, Museum, Botanic Gardens, Villa Giulia and Royal Park are also worth a visit
Lloyd leave Alexandria every Weihiesday u*ht | during the season for Naples, the voyage being only 3 days. NAPLES is also reached in 10 hours from Palermo by the FUirio-IG battiuo Co.'s steamers, which leave daily. One cannot approach Naples or leave it without wishii x ' bot five hours. All who can will devote at least one week to visiting the many historical and interesting portions of the Eternal City, | whose charms and beauties are too well-known to need commeut here. Leaving the Eternal City with much regret, a railway journey of five hours brings you to FLORENCE, where another week can well be spent admiring the City Flowers and its s rrounding country. In Florence itself the churches and galleries are 'of absorbing interest, whilst the local promenades and excur- part groves of oaks takes an hour, and most o* th. i ung* Amn. striking panoramas are unfolded to view. Hou..I'ISA is easily reached from Florence In RMO. abrait 2 hours ; here there is a fine Cathedral o. O»o, propriMor. j aI1(l the Leaning Tower. A stay of at least one ! night should if possible be made, in order to PISA enjoy the view from the Campanile at sunset.
OF NO A (La Soperba)—The most pictureaquo and intereating city in Italy, with the record of having one of the lowest death averages of European cities and a phenomenally equable temperature—warm in winter and deliciously cool breezes from the surrounding mountains and the Mediterranean The patiiarchal home'of Italy's must an- eient nobility, whose palaces, gardens, and famous collections of statuary, frescoes, and paintings, are a constant delight to thousands of travellers who annually sojourn in Genoa. | Then there are the superbly decorated inedie val churches containing exquisite marble columns and historical paintings, and the in- : comparable Campo 8anto filled with its derfnl tombs. From Genoa to Milan is a matter of only three hours by rail. MILAN is a good centre for Northern Italy before making the to r of the Lakes. The Cathedral is the principal attraction, with its beautiful windows illustrating the History of the Bible. The public gardens and the monumental cemetery are also worrii a visit. Between Bologna and Milan and only an hour and-a- hall from Milan is 8AI£0MAG- GIORE. a renowned health resort on account of its thermal springs, change train* at Borgo San Domno and iu half an-hour you are at Salsomaggiore.
VENICE is a 5 hours journey by rail from Milan, and one of the most delightful places imaginable to pass a quiet stay. The total absence of vehicular traffic strikes one as very strange ; no horse, cart, carriage or bicycle is to be seeu, and yet there is the souud of life at every turn. The approach to Venice from the Adriatic is unlike that of any other seaport The town seems to be grad ally, like Aphrodite, bom of the sea, no hills behind, no stretches of rock, but first the tons of Qsm- paniles appear above the horizon, then slowly the whole glittering town rises like a fairy mirage out of the calm lagoon. Going northwards from Milan you make the tour of the beautiful Italian lakes. COMO, the birthplace of the younger Pliny, is reached in one-and-a-q,uarter hours by train by way of Monza : Boats leave Como frequently for the other towns on the lake, which is very beautiful, and the scenery on either side going up the lake is most enchanting. CERNOBBIO is a charming ot; then come Tremezto, Cadenabbia, and 'maggio with the prettily-situated town of Bellaggio opposite. The walk from Tremezzo along the shore of the lake to Menaggio is most enjoyable. A steam tram runs from Menaggio to Porlezza on Lake Lugano in three-quarters of an hour, then steamer to Lugano in two-and- three-quarter hours.
Switzerland, the heart of Europe, has been described as "A cluster of delights and grandeurs. '' LUGANO is some 20 miles from Como and reached by train in one-and-a-h*lf hours. It has a population of 10,000 people and is charm ingly situated on the Lake of Lugano, amidst lovely Italian scenery. Aro> nd it rise M. San Salvatore, M. de Caprinoand M. Generoso. LOCARNO may be reached by rail from Bellinzona in forty minutes. This pretty town, situated at the top of Lake Maggiorc, has a mild climate, and is an excellent winter resort. The church Madonna del Sasso, situated above the town, is worth a visit, as it contains interesting paintings, "Entombment," by Ciseri, and "The Flight into Egypt," by firamantion. LUCERNE.—A striking picture on the Lake of Lucerne facing the Rtgi and Pilatus and the snow-clad Alps. In and around the town the walks are charming, and the excursions to be made from Lucerne by boat, rail, etc., are very numerous. The l.iiso/Lucerne abounds in delightful excursions, those to the Riot, Pilatus, Burgrn stock and Sonnenberq needing a special visit each. Other excursions on the lake can be made by steamer, and the ever-changing scenery on the trip from Lucerne to Flurten is a source of delight to the lover of uature. BRUNNEN, charmingly situated on the most beautiful part of the Lake of Lucerne, commands magnificent views of lake and mountain scenery. Along the Lake of Uri from Brunnen to Fluelen runs the famous Arrntrasse. A delightful excursion from Lucerne is that to ENGELBERG. Take boat to Stansstad and fn m Stansstad it is about 1 hour and 40 min. by Electric Railway, with delightful scenery en route. The ascent of Titlis, is j made from here, and the panoramic view of1 tho Alps is grand ; extending from Monte Rosa to the Black Forest, and from the; Santis to tho Mntterho n. THE BERNESE OBERLAND— INTERLAKEN a favourite summer resort and the best centre for making excursions in the Oberland, abounding in fine walks and views. There is a magnificent view of the Jungfrau from the Hoheweg, a fine avenue of walnut trees the chief resort of visitors. Interlaken is also not far from tho famous waterfalls, Gitssbach, Trummeltnck and Staubb-'ch. Then also the glaciers of Grindelwnld and view from Murren and the Sckynige Platte are sights not to be missed. CHATEAU D'OEX. 3,500 ft above the sea ,.i the new Electric Railway between Montreux and Interlaken, surrounded by magnificent scenery, with pure dry air. Much frequented by English people in Summer and Winter.
Many people visit Greece after wintering | in Egypt, a* it is so easily reached from Alex- , andria ; the climate in April is charming. The best steamers are those of the Khedivial Mail Co. and the Russian Steam Navigation Co. If possible tourists should arrange to be ill Athens for the Orthodox Easter iu order to witness tho Good Friday and Easter Eve ceremonies, and to be iiresen at the dancing on the Easter Ti csday festival held at Megara for which a special train is run from Athens. It is worth while to spend a few davs in CORFU on account of the bceuty of the sceneiy. There is also good snipe and qrail shooting to be had.
