ses, Essence Bottles found in the Bath Houses
a Helmet with bas relief representing the cOnfia-
grafton OF Troy; Bells of various descriptions,
and those for Cattle precisely such as are used
now with Flat Irons similar to our own; Let
ters for Stamping Bread so like Type that the
Art Of Printing ought not to have been a COM
paratively modern discovery; Mirrors, Opera
Tickets numbered to correspond with the seats
Musical Instruments; Dice, Pins, Nails, Locks,
Keys, Bits found in the mouth of Skeleton
Horse; Paints, including Rouge, &c. In ano,E-
er Room is a vast collection of memorials be-
longing to the ADJUSTMENTS, Revels, &c of the
PomPeiians. These indicate a very great fond
ness for Festivals, Masquerades and kindred a.
musements. Among the divinities to which they
sacrificed it is quite evident that Bacchus and
Venus were most popular.
"The Cabinets of Gems" are in Room in
which visitors, Ladies especially, linger longest
This room is floored with Mosaic taken from
POmpei, There, carefully preserved in glass
cases, are gold necklaces, bracelets, ear and fin
ger rings, chains, &c, similar TO those now
worn, together with q variety of golden orna-
ments. There are also silver cups, plates, spoons
salvers, &c. Here TOO, are loaves of bread, ho-
ney, grain, soap, oil and wine, in TASKS, and eggs
unbr"ken, and but slightly discolored. Here
too, are bits of wearing apparel, of wool and lin
en-, and skeins of sewing silk.
The Statuary, arranged in Rooms Of great
magnitude upon the ground floor, presents OBJ
Jects of profound admiration. In looking at these
marble and bronze presentments you cannot
doubt for moment that you have the face, head
features and expression of Illustrous persons
who sat for them. In many instances these
heads indicate clearly the qualities, good or bad,
noble or gnobe, for which the originals were
Distinguished. And in this description of Art,
Pompeii and Hercuaueum were far in advance
of an age which supposed itself UNNECESSARILY
ahead of the Ancenis. Even the S;atuary of
the pamest days of Rome fails to surpass that
which has been rescued from the ruins of these
buried cities And the extent and variety of
these works of Art is truly amazing. There
was more fine staluary buried in these two small
cities, than has been produced throughout the
whole world, during the last three centuries.
Among so many hundred statuary gems chal-
longing admiration, it IS difficult to discriminate,
though there are some figures that fasten them
selves upon your attention and memory. Such,
for example, as the ''Wounded Gladiator" "The
Mother OF Nero" Titus" Culigula," Ca
sar," " Marcus Aureius," "The Hunter" "a
Faun repoSing on Skin of Wine" "Augus-
tus," "intant Hercules stranCliug Serpcnts,'
"Maximus in Costume of a Consul" "Alexander
the Great mounted on Bucephuus, whose trap
pings are Silver "Brutus," Cicero" Ho-
mer," &c. Bat the head, which for the last
two or three years he's arrested the attention Of
Americans the moment they enter the room, is
that of Seneca, whose strongly marked and
clearly defined resemblance to Gen. Taylor is
most remarkable Those who loved Gen. Tay-
lor and revere the memory Of that traly great
and good man, recognize this striking likeness
