ANCIENT LUXURY.-The cXcava.
tons at Pompcii are going on with
an activity stimulated by the import
ant discoveries made at almost ey-
cry step, and the quantities of gold
Iand silver found, which more than
suffice to cover the cost of the work.
Near the temple OF Juno there has
been brought to light q house which
no doubt, belonged to some mi lion
aire at the time the city was destroy
ed, as the furniture is Of ivory, bronze
and marble. The couches of the tri.
cIinium, or dining-room, are especial
| ly of extreme richness. The floor
ling consists of an immense mosaic.
well preserved in parts. and ofwhich
the center represents a table laid for q
dinner. In the middle, on large
dish may be seen splendid peacock
with its tail spread out, and placed
back to back with another bird also
of elegant plumage. Around them
are arranged Holsters, one of which
holds a blue egg in its claws, a sec
ond an oyster which appears to be
fricasseed, as it is open and covered
with herbs q third rat fitrei, and
a fourth smallvase filled with fried
grasshoppers. Next comes a circle
OF dishes of fish, interspersed with
others OF patridges, hares and SOUR
rels, all of which have their heads
placed between tn cir fore-feet.-l
Then comes a row of sausages oil
all forms, supported by one OF eggs, |
oysters and olives, which in its turn
is surrounded by a double row OF |
peaches, cherries, melons and other
fruits and vegetables. The walls
are covered with fresco paintings off
birds, flowers, game aud fish of all |
kinds, an the whole interspersed
with drawings which lent charm
to the whole not easy to describe.
On a table of rare wood, carved
and inlaid with gold, marble, agate
and lapis lazuli, was found an am
phora still containing wine, and
some goblets of onyx. !

The CHoLEeA IN THE EAsr.--A let
ter from Constanlinople says that in fit,
days from the appearance Of the cholerf
there. not less than 10000 persons fel
victims to its ravages. On the same dav'
of August tue number Of deaths was 5000
per diem. The city has been changed
from busy mart of trade 10 a city Of
dead and dying. Whole families have
been swept off in day, and hundreds OF
houses left tenantless. Certain quarters
have suffered so severely that the surviv-
ing inhabitants have left ther houses,
their unburied dead-everything not ca
silly moved--and have fled in dismay to
open fields beyond the city. The Amer
lean missionaries have devoted them
selves to the care of The sick and dying
among the poorer classes, and under their
treatment hundreds of lives have been
saved. While the average mortality in
the city has been about sixty-fv per
cent, of those attacked. under the treat
ment OF the American missionaries the
mortality has not exceeded five per cent
The mortality under their treatment il
fully developed cases has only been g.
teen per cent. 1t ia believed that this is
a greater success than has ever before
been attained in epidemic cholera. Du-
ring the progress of the pest, the wealth
er was delightful. Sanitary advantages
have not tended to send off the plague,
for it ragged with greater severity in some
of the highest, best ventilated and most
clearly parts Of the city, where in prev-
Gus epidemics not case occur red.
The latest news from Egypt, Italy
Turkey and Spain, where the cholera
has been most severely felt, speaks en-
couragingly of its abatement, and it
seems to those who have charge of SAM
tary matters that the total disappearance
of the epidemic is not Ear off. This i 5
particularly the case in Egypt and in
the other countries named the most rig
id sanitary and quarantine measures are
having good effect. There has been NO
case Of Asiatic cholera in England.
