DISCOVERIES RECENTLY MADE IN POUPEII.—•
Under the debris of a wall, Which, up to the present
time, has .ffered nothing important, has now been found
an invaluable statuette, 20 centimetres in height, This
statuette represents a Silenus, who, with the left hand
raised, graips a serpent, on which stands, or stood, a beauti-
ful glass vase, exquisitely worked, and decorated with gold.
Of this cup only two small fragments have as
yet been dis-
covered—sufficient, however, to show its value. The Style
of the Silenus reminds us of the other bronze statue of
the dancing Faun. In a few days it will be placed in
the National Museum, where it will not fail to awaken
admiration equal to that which was felt for the Nar-
cissus not long since discovered. In the same house,
besides the Silenus, two elegant candelabra haie been found,
also of bronze, and two large silver vases, remarkable for
their size. But a discovery yet more important was made
last week. In the same house a subterranean part was
found, in which were a well, a bath, and a small altar, from
which were collected the remains of the fruit of the pine
which had been burnt bEfore the domestic Lares, up to
the present time no well has bean discovered in Pompeii
with water, it having been absorbed by time and volcanic
changes. Iu this, which is 25.20 metres in depth, it has
been cur good fortune to find excellent "drinkable" water,
supplied by a limpid stream underneath. Prof. Sevartitino
