THE SLIDE OF ALPNACH.

1t is a fact that there is railroad in Eu-
rope where the speed Of two hundred and
sixteen miles an hour is ordinarily obtained
not indeed for passengers but for timber.
Il is The celebrated Slide Of Alpnach, IN
The Alps, constructed fJr the purose ofcon-
yeyng trees from the mountains to the
Lake Of Lueerne. The following is de-
scription Of ibis famous slide:
''I'he railroad, which was completed in
the year 1919, is formed entirely of about
$4,000 large pine trees, deprived Of their
bark, aHl united together in very ingen-
Ious manner. without the aid Of iron. Il
occupied 800 wofkmen during is months
and lie cost 100000 francs, or fl250. II
is about three leagues, or foFty-four thou
sand English feet long II has a trough
about six feet broad, and from three to six
deep. It's lotion is formed Of three trees,
the middle one Of which has a grove cut in
the dircc ion Of its length, Pr receiving
small rilis Of water, which arc conducted
into it from various places, for the purpose
cf diminishing the friction. The whole
slide is sustained by about two thousand
supports; and in many places it is attached
IN very .ageni0us manner to the rugged
precipices Of granite. The direction Of the
slide is sometimes straight, sometimes zig
Eng, with an inclination of from ten to
eighteen degrees. Ii is often carried along
the sides OF hills, and TANKS of PERCEPTIONS
rocks, and sometimes over their SUBMITS.
Occasionally it goes under ground, and at
other times il is conducted over the deep
erogcs by scolfoldings 100 feet in height.
The large pines, which were 100 feet in
length, and ten inches thick at their smaller
extremities, ran through the space oflhree
leagues, or nearly nine miles in two min
utes and a half! There is an account Of
this wonderful slide in Babbage's Economy
of Machinery and Manufactures, quoted
from Brewster's Journal, from which, and
other documents in our commonplace books,
we have made the above abridgment"

TREASURES RECOVER
VERED FROM THE RUINS CT
POMPEII

Within these last few years, the interest
felt in the ruins ofthis once magnificent city,
has increased to such degree, that nothing
has been left undone to satisfy the curiosity
of the antiquarian, or reward the researches
of the scholar. To the former have been
presented objects affording the highest graf
ification, though accompanied with a sad
and melancholy feeling, when he has re-
hected upon the cause which has enabled
him to view these objects. lie has walked
in the very streets of Pompeii, and in deep
silence, like the silence 9th tombs, has en-
tered its forsaken dwellings, and surveyed
every thing that belonged to them-their
rich and splendid furniture, their gold and
silver vases, their lamps, tripods and med
ais, their busts and statues, their paintings
and household goods-all, all still standing,
just as they were seventeen hundred years
ago when that awful calamity visited their
city, and consigned its ilI-fated inhabitants
TO instantaneous destruction.
But to the scholar have been presented
sources of higher and nobIer enjoyment
lie has come into the possession of that
which no time can destroy, no confagration
consume-the mind ofpast ages. True, he
has not obtained so much as at first he SC
confidently expected. Still, his literary
stores have been increased, and if, after all
the toll of unroling and decyphering the pa.
pyri, nothing else had been discovered, the
entire words of Epicurus, and the lost repub-
lie of Cicero, would alone be sufficient to re.
pay him for all the labor and time that have
been expended; but these are not all. Frog.
ments of many Of the Latin classics are CON
iinually making their appearance, now and
then epistles from friend TO friend, helping
much to illustrate portions OTTOMAN history
and TO give us a nearer insight into Roman
manners.
The following is translation Of a letter
from the orator Hortensius TO Atticus, which
has Just been found in the library at Pom
peii. 1t is a glowing critque on the cele
brated orations of Cicero against Catalina
and will be read with interest by every on
who has read the originals of these msterl,
productions.
Qaintus HortenSius to Titus PompOniou
Atticas, at AtseaS,-I should do injustice t
