DISCOVERIES RECENTLY MADE IN POMPEII.—
Under the debris of a wall, which, up to the present
time, has trend nothing important, has now been found
en invaluable statuette, 20 centimetres in height. 'lbis
statuette represents a Silenus, who, with the left hand
raised, grasps 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 Cays it will be placedin
the National Museum, where it will not fail to awaken
admiration equal to that rhich was felt for the Nar-
cissus :lot long since discovered. In the same house,
besides the Silenus, two elegant candelabra hale been found,
also of bronze, and two large silver vases, remarkable for
their sire. 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 Lures. Up to
the present time no well has been discovered in Pompeii
with water, it having been absorbed by time and volcanic
changes. In this, which is 25.20 metres in depth, it has
been our good fortune to find excellent "drinkable" water,
supplied by a limpid stream underneath. Prof, Sevartiane
di Luca it now completing the analysis of it,"
