The fatal tendency of diseases which affect the

were considered hopeless, it has apparently
wrought perfect cure.

Interesting antiquities Of Pompsii.-A-
mongst the curious and interesting ohiects
which have been discovered, during the SUBJ
terraneous search which has been lately made
at fompeii, four drinking-glasses were found,
some OF them containing olives in as perfect
state Of preservation as those of last years
gathering. These olives are said TO be not
only entire and whole, but soft and juicy, re-
sembling in shape that species which is known
by the denomination of Spanish olives. Their
odour is somewhat rancid aud strong. with
that acrimoniousness Of taste, producing a
sharp and astringent sensation on the tongue.
Some OF those olives have been analysed, and
the rest have been deposited in the Museum,
in the Identical glasses in which they have
been found.

so that the minds OF the natives are complete

that there are few instances of any endeavor
having been made to evade it by an appeal to
the Turkish law. In the d;ocess OF Mytilene,
| however, the Bishop has procured the adop-
ton of some notifications which mitigate the
obvious evil of such usage, and the rule es-
tahlished there is as follows:-If the family
property be valued at more than 100 piastres,
