►ttempted to run sway. The cabman, swooning that all
was not right, mode inquiries and found that the watch
that the prosecutor had when be got into the cab was then
minion. The cabman then followed the prisoner, over-
took hint, and put him with the other soldier and the pro.
seentoe into the cab and drove them all to the station-

—bioptic.° was lately made of the dilemma,/ at Pompeii of
• temple of Juno, with more than 300 skeletons. Those
remains, which crumbled to dust by degrees as they were
brought to light, were theme of women and children who
had been buried beneath the burning ashes thrown out by
the volcano at the moment in which a sacrifice was being
offered up in the temple to the Queen of the Gods, no
doubt to implore her to avert the terrible calamity which
nososced the city. To the arm of one of those skeletons,
which from the rich jewels with which it was covered
is supposed to he that of the high priestess, was
still attached, by a gold ring, a rower of the same metal
