Kino HritBEET's Hunting-ground. — This 

 royal domain of Licola, near Naples, is one 

 of the most strictly preserved of all the 

 king's hunting-grounds, and is kept at very 

 little expense. It consists of a vast expanse 

 of swamp, intersected with water-dikes, 

 hidden between a mass of reeds and full of 

 water-fowl, of open lake and of <iak copses, 

 where the larger game — stags, deer, wild 

 boars and a kind of wild goat- -find sufflcieni 

 nourishment in the shrubs, tender leaves, 

 acorns, herbage and roots. Only in excep- 

 tionally S"vere seasons toast some additional 

 food be provided. The preserve bus not been 

 shot, over now for three years, and contains 

 more than a thousand head of large game. t>, 

 was a favorite haunt of the late king, and his 

 son, who is perhaps a still more passionate 

 sportsman, takes a great interest in it, and 

 will probably come to Naples this winter to 

 enjoy spurting over this, one of his best pre- 

 serves The hunting' lodge is a substantial 

 house, consisting of a ground floor and one 

 story, stuccoed and stained a pinkish yellow, 

 it, stands on a kind of grass-grown common, 

 with groups of magnificent evergreen oaks on 

 either hand, while opposite is a tiny chapel, 

 with two or three acacia trees.
