OR, THE THRAC1AN WRESTLER
BY HERMAN II. HEATH.
CONCLUDED.
CHAPTER XVII.
T III E p AL A G. E

III L A L. E.
We have seen Foluntina was securely
lodged into luxuriant apartment of the
palace, in order that she might compose
herself, and perhaps recover somewhat
from the first terrors Of the recent yio-
lence of her abduction and passage
thither. Indeed, so little knowledge of
virtue and true heart of woman had the
lustful Carracalla, that he even hoped,
after an hours time, Voluntina would
bethink herself of his power and station,
and yield herself to his arms forever.
Vain man, how ignorant must he have been
to know so little of the true spirit of vir-
tue that lit up the heart of the noble
Thracian wife! So far from composure,
Yoluntina, when she entered the apart
ment prepared for her reception, sank
down in terror and eXhaustation, in
which posture and condition she remained
unconscious, for long time Rising,
however, at length and looking wildly
about her, as if despair had stolen away
all sense, she wandered up and down
that spacious room in the intensest agony
of soul her hands clenohed in the beau
tiful tresses of hair which had fallen
the night previous, so lovely over her
pure neck and shoulders at the ban
quet. She uttered not sound, but
looked like moving spirit of hopeless
ness, with only life remaining.
Carracalla, after thus disposing of his
victim, retired to a secret apartment, in
order to adorn his person, that he might
appear the more attractive to the eyes of
his fair captive. This he did, after dis
missing his two confederate villains with
large reward for the services Just rem
dered.
CO." said the Emperor, "I have
farther work for you at another time
Thou art two faithful fellows; and shalt
find rich reward for all ye may do for me-"
and they retired.
Two hours had passed, since the victim
of Carracalla's passion had entered the
palace, and after having fully performed
his toilette, perfumed as ne was, and
adorned with the rich vestments of his
costly wardrobe, he sought theapartment
of Voluntina. He seemed surprised on
entering to find her in the state described,
and endeavored to console her. Indeed
he offered her the indignity to take her
hand, from which she sank speechless and
amazed.
Nay, fair lady" said he; "be not
thus grieved. I have that to tell thee,
which, although it may make thy heart
quiver for moment, will nevertheless
prove to thee that am thy true friepd.
Thou, too, wilt then be more content to
abide within my imperial palace. Thy
! husband Maximin, is dead. Macenius

now closed against their rapacity. LUXURY
rather than mere comforts, seemed to find
its abode.
Licinius ordered the fourth legion out
upon the first appearance of dawn; al
though the usual hour was at the rising
OF the sun. But this he did that his
legion should be ready to maintain its
position in the part it was, under him,
about to act in the coming change of the
imperial purple.
Ihe first glimpse of the suns rays saw
that powerful legion in hollow SQUARE,
with sabreS at their sides, and with mixes
fixed firmly in their hands, when Lici.
MUS, entered the square, and thus har-
angued his troops.
Soldiers and Romans, | have but few
words to say, and they are these: Rome.

than Carracalla, distribute the treasures

This speech, like electricity, was in
stantly caught up by the legion, who
shouted loud the name Of =. .Maximin :"

And thus they did, through that vast
camp, with loud cries of :" Emperor Max

legion of the Pratorians.
While this was transpiring in the camp.
the city was shaken with confusion AZ
this unexpected, unlooked-for issue. The
report of Carracalla's assassination, al
though hailed with delight and enth-
siasm; yet who should succeed him. and
whether his successor would be better
man than he, were questions of great i'm
port.
The people thronged around the Pra,-
torlans to learn from whom they spake;
for all well knew that he whose name the
Pr@torians raised would be the man, and
but one name was heard, and that was

THE PRETORIANS.

The early dawn found the faithful lieu
tenant of Maximin, Licinius, at his post
in the camp of the Prsetorians. Here,
within a strongly enclosure, rested the
entire protective force of the imperial
city. Secure on every side, just without
the city's walls rose the high towers of
the camp, whilst inside, in snow-white
tents, reposed the legions. These were
now ten, in all. A Roman camp, when
pitched even for single night only, was
ever place of neatness, and always bore
an aspect of comfort; but here, within
the Pretorian camp, since the empire

INTRIGUES AMONG TIE RoYMTY.-Our
European dispatches report that the dow
ager Queen Christiana, Of Spain. is at
Paris, intrigueing with Louis Napoleon
for the establishment of one of her chill
dren as Monarch of Mexico. We predict
that she will have hard work to attain
that end. Mexico is already in the grip
of one Monarch, who has no disposition
to let 60 his hold; and even if Santa Anna
could be brought over to such a scheme,
there is no greater absurdity than to sup
pose that either Bonaparte Or a Munoz
could get possession Of Mexico. The
people of that country would not readily
submit to foreign tyrant, and last of all
to one whose veins were filled with the
blood of a Christina and Rianzares.

In France, the fire insurances in thir-
teen companies exceeded S4,S44 ,0O0, 900,
and yearly premiums, S4,l37 5000. In
all the French companies the fire insur-

In Germany, twelve Reinsurance COM

CALIFORNIA.-We cut the following
from a letter from California published
in the st. Louis Intelligencer.
The first settlement we visited in this
State was San Bernardino, where the
Mormons have large town, rapidly in
creasing. / found these people quite
obliging, honest, and exceedingly reli-
gious. But they have a singular mode
of serving the Lord, which they do by
taking wives, and they have plenty of
them. | know a Mormon who has seven
teen wives, and he seems to seek the
society of young unmarried ladies like
single gentleman. You will regret to
perceive that the repulsive custom of
polygamy exists in California.
There would not be so many poor men
in this country if more of them were to
bring their families and turn their atten-
ton to agriculture, and not enter into any
mining "prospects or speculations
There is some good land in this country.
A portion of it is very healthy.
