An ANCIENT DINNER.-The exc ivatlons at
Pompeu are going on with an activity snmu-
lated by the important dlscoverIe; made al
almost every step, al the quantities OF gold
and silver found, which more than suthce 20
cover the cost OF the works. Nesr the lem
ple oil June, of which al account was recently
given, has been brought TO light house be-
longing to some millionaire of the time, as the
furniture Is of ivory, bronze and marble. The
eouches OF the trinchnium, or dining room,
are of especially extreme richness.
The jor'ng consists of immense mosaic
well preserved parts, OF which the centre
represents a table laid out for a grand dinner.
La the middle, on large dish, may be seen
splendid peacock with Its tail spread out, and
placed back TO back with another bird aso of
beautiful plumage. Around them are arrang-
Cd Holsters, one OF which holds blue egg
claw, d second an oyster, which app AIRED
10 be irIca-seed, as 1t Is open and covered with
herbs; a third Tat farcl. aud fourth a
rall vase filled with grasshoppers. n 1t
comes circle OF dishes oi hsh, interpreted
with others of partridges, hares aad squirrels,
which have their heads pl4ced between their
tore feet.
Then comes d row of sausages of all forms,
supported by one egg, oysters, and olives,
which IN turn Is surrounded by a double cir
Gle OF peaches cherries, melons, aud other
fruits and vegetables. The walls of the trim
clInium are covered with irescO paintings OF
birds, fruits, flowers, game and fish OF all
kInds-the whole In ntersper Led with drawings
which lend a charm TO the whole not easy 20
describe. On table of rare wood carved
and lnlald with gold. marble, agate, and la

or by loose hedges of the fragrant phiyrea,
with frequent gips, and banks studied with wild
flowers. 1t sas even customary among the
more opuient and noble citizens to invite the
people not only to stroll at will through the
grounds, but whenever they thought proper, to
pluck and eat the fruit and there is no in
stance on record of this liberty having been
abused.

A NEW EXPLOSIVE CoMPoUND-A week or
Two ago Gu, lied from Boston paper a story
OF captain belonging 10 that port, who,
finding a suspicious box board his vessel
marked sodium flung it overheard. As
soon as the package touched the water ex
plosion occurred, hitting the sea into an immense
column TO tie stern OF the vessel. IL Was con-
lectured that This dangerous parcel must have
contained nltro-gl glycerlne, but inter from
San Francisco journal that it was new chemi-
cal mixture called sodium smalg ,m. This ma
terial is never manufactured IN very large
quantities, though it had been advertised for
sale IN San Francisco, one firm claiming to have
as much as two hundred ounces for saie The
amount does not seem large, but when il is un-
fstood that the explosive power of one
ounce OF sodium is equal 10 that of about
wenty five pounds OF gunpowder, or two and a
hait pounds OF nitro giy CeIine. Il can readily be
conceived that even ntteen or twenty ounces,
exploded in one place, would create immense
havoc. Aud, when further rtd c;s that
even 50 little 4 thlng a spoonful of water
coming in contact with two hundred ounces of
sodium would occass Jon an explosion equal to
that which would BE- occasoned by the lgnlii1n
Of five thousand pounds of powder, or the con-
cusson OF five hundred pounds of nitro l,cer-
mendous destructive power.

A STUDY OF BoNNETs.--The Paris cor
respondent of the London Telegraph writes
Tne one great Object of my admirati n In
Paris Is the bonnet-Its ever-changiug shape,
us splendor, irs disappearance, ana Its dark
days of nothIngness.' What do you think
bonnets were yesterday? Not Graz e. nor rulie,
nor silk, nor satin, nor velvet, nor straw. No,
nothing but flowers. | saw one lady with .
bonnet of daisies, and another who had on her
head a handful of lilies of the valley, les
rooned with green ribbon. If il is really any
thing, q bonnet can scarcely be less than . few
lilies OF the valley, which at Florence would
cost half q Paul Another lady had q wreath
of walifoWers.''
