The excavations at Pompeii have just led to the

were scattered about more than 200 skeletons, They are
those of women and children who, during the eruption
of Vesuvius, had hastened to the temple to seek refuge and
implore the protection of the goddess.

A NEW WAY OF PRINTING.—The description
of a very rapid process for reproducing pencil
drawings has been going the round of the Russian journals.
The process will be particularly useful in campaigns, where
it is often desirable to have a number of copies of a hasty
pencil sketch, Some time ago M. Villani-Villanis remarked
that if a sheet paper on which a plan or any drawing or
writing has been executed with pencil bo moistened with
acidulated water, and afterwards inked, the pencil marks
alone will take the ink, and the whole drawing may then be
transferred to' metal or stone. Capt. Sytenko, of the Rus-
sian Artillery, director of the Photographic Service of the
Staff at St. Petersburg, has introduced very ingenious modi-
fications into this process, and contrived a portable mili-
tary press, which, as already hinted, may be extremely use-
ful in campaigns. It does not take more than ten minutes
to effect the transfer of the drawing upon a zinc plate or
lithographic stone.—Galignani.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills,—
Fur bad legs, bad breasts, and scorbutic or scrofulous sores
this is a gentle specific. The grateful and earnest testi-
mony of thousands who have experienced their unrivalled
power over these complaints, and who have been raised
from prostrate helplessness and a condition loathesome to
themselves and others, render it quite unnecessary to en-
large in this place on its extraordinary virtues. The parts
affected should be bathed with lukewarm water, and when
the gores are thereby opened the ointment should be rubbed
in at least twice a day all round the complaining parts. It
then penetrates to the seat of the disorder, and effects a
thorough and permanent cure. These preparations are com-
posed of real balsams, as mild toe they aro efficacious.
