THE WONDERS OF ANCIENT ROME

The WONDERS OF ANCIENT ROME.-
Modern writers, taking London and
Paris for thcIr measure OF material
civilization, seem unwilling to admit
that Rome could have reached such a
pitch of glory and wealth, and power.
To him who stands within the narrow
limits Of the Forum, as it now appears,
it seems Incredible that it could have
been the centre of much larger city
than Europe can now boast of. Grave
historians are 10th to compromise their
dignity and character for truth by ad-
hitting statements which seem to men
of limited views to be fabulous, and
which transcend modern experience.
But we should remember that most of
the monuments of ancient Rome have
entirely disappeared. Nothing re-
mains of the palace of the Caesars,
which nearly covered the Palatine
Hill; little OF the Fora which, con-
nected together, covered space TWICE
as large as that inclosed by the palace
of the Louvre and TuiIeries with all
their galleries and courts; almost no
thing of the glories of the Capitoline
Hill; and little comparatively of those
Therm9 which were a mile in circuit.
But what does remain atteSts all un-
paralleled grandeur-the broken pill
lars of the Forum; the lofty columns
of Trajan and Marcus Aurelius; the
Pantheon, lifting its spacious dome
200 feet / he air; the mere vestibule
of the baths of Agrippa; the triumph
al arches of Titus and Traian and
Constantine; the bridges which span
the Tiber; the aquedictS which cross
the Campagna; the Cloaca Maxima,
which drained the marshes and lakes
of the infant city; but above all the
Colosseum. What glory and shame
are associated with that single edihce
That alone, if nothing else remained
of pagan antiquity, would indicate a
grandeur and folly such as cannot
now be sec, on earth. 1t reveals a
wonderful skill Ia masonry, and great
architectural strength; it shows the
resources and wealth of rulers who
must have had the treasures of the
world at their command; it indicates
an enormous population, since it wo'd
seat all the male adults of the city OF
New York; it shows the restless pas
sion of people for excitement, and the
necessity on the pant OF the rulers OF
Welding to this taste. What leisure
and Incidence marked city which
could afford TO give up so much time
to the demoralized sports What Ia
cilities for transportation were afford
ed, when so many wild beasts could
be brought to the capital from the cen
tral parts of Africa without calling
out unusual comment! How imperi

AMUSING ANECDOTE.-Daniel Web
ster had all anecdote of old Father
Scarf, the minister of his boyhood,
which is too good to be lost. 1t was
customary then to wear buckSkin
breeches in cool weather. One Sun
day morning in the autumn, Father
Searl brought his breeches down from
the garrct, but the wasps had taken
possession during the summer, and
were having a nice time of it in them.
By dint of effort he got out the intru-
ders and dressed for meeting. But
while reading the scriptures to the con
gregation he felt a dagger from one
of the enr&ged small WASTED fellows,
and jumped around the pulpit slap
ping his thighs. But the more he slap
ped and danced the more they stung.
The people thought him crazy, but he
explained the matter by SAYING
+" Brethren, don't be alarmed the
word of the Lord is in my mouth, but
the devil is in my breeches !" Web
ster always told 1t with great glee to
the minister. '.'4

1t is the grave of a poor boy. the
only son of widow. He was not
exactly an idiot, but what people call
a natural" Good, simple, humble,
every one loved him; but no one could
teach him anything. His intelligence
was in some way at fault. He could
remember nothing. In vain the poor
mother put him first at school and
then to a trade he could not learn.
At last, in despair, she took him to a
neighboring monastery and imploned
the abbot, who was most charitable,
holy man, to take him inland treat
him as lay brother. Touched by
her grief the abbot consented. and the
boy entered the convent. There all
possible pains were taken with him by
the good monks to give him at least
some ideas of religion; but he could
remember nothing bat these three SEN
tences. Still, he was so patient, so la
borious, and so good, that the commit
nifty decided to keep him. a1an r.|1
When he had finished his hard out
of door work, instead of coming in to
rest hewould go straight to the church,
and there remain on his knees for
hours. But what does he do?" ex-
claimed one of the novices. He
does not know how to pray; he nei-
ther understands the Office, nor the sa-
craments, nor the ceremonies Of the
church" They therefore hid them
selves in side chapel, close where he
came in. Devoutly kneeling, with his
hands clasped, his eyes fastened on
the tabernacle, he did nothing but re-
peat over and over again: " | believe
in God; Ihope for God; Hove God"
One day he was missing; they went
to his cell and found him dead on the
straw, with his hands joined, and an
expression of the same ineffable peace
and joy they had remarked on his face
when in the church They buried him
in his quiet cemetery, and the abbot
caused these words to be craven on
his cross. Soon a lilly was seen flow
ering by the grave, whereon one had
sown it, the grave was opened and
the root of the flower was found in
the heart of the orphan boy.-Impres-

Algerian Jugglers in London. !;

Seven Algerian jugglers and snake
chariners are now giving performances
in London. They are Mahometans,
of the tribe of Aissa-Houha, and call
themselves African convulsionaries.-
The Post, describing their feats, says:
ga number of snakes were produ-
ced; they were about four feet long
and an inch thick. These one of the
performers, Kinda Ben Mustaffa, coil
ed round his head and allowed to bite
his tongue until they hung at full
length dangling from his mouth. The
next performer was Mahommed Ben
Omar, who ate the bowl of wine
glass, and crushed the metal between
his teeth with considerable gusto. A
number of other feats equally surpri-
sing followed; and then came the
grand sensation scenes. e Mahommed
Ben Ali Batata balahced himself 90 a
naked sword, and subsequently, tied a
rope round his naked waist. This
was pulled by a dozen persons so hard
that the cord appeared to almost en-
ter the mans body, but without occa-
sioning amy pain. He next seized an
instrument which appeared to act like
a centre bit, and having inserted the
point in the left eye, worked the han
die round until the eyeball was forced
three parts out of It's place, present
ing most horrible appearance. The
man himself did not, however, seem
to suffer Inconvenience, though the
perspiration stood on his face, and his
chest heaved as If considerable diff
Guilty was experienced in breathing.
The next feat was to puncture himself
with skewcrs. This was effected by
forcing one through the tongue, anoIh
er through the lip, and a third through
the cheek. To prove that the perfor
alton was real he walked among the
audience: and allowed any one suffi
ciently curious or sufficiently Skeptica
te examine the holes and to touch tht
skewers. Several persons avaiIec
themselves of the privilege, and ex

A GREEN CLERGYMAN.-Aw A western
preacher, whose credulity seems to
have been stronger than his judgment,
writes the following account of the
way in which he was swindled by some
sharpers having an Office in New York.
No doubt there are hundreds of sim
liar cases, and we print this as war
ming to persons who may be tempted
in a like manner. He says:
@Last summer New York firm sent
out an advertisement of gift enter
prise that appeared on its face so just
and honorable an undertaking that he
was induced to send them ten dollars
for eleven tickets. The tickets were
received and soon after the men sent
him eight more, requesting him to dis
tribute them. His family took five,
and three of bis neighborS took the
Others. They next sent sixteen more
tickets, which the reverend returned.
In short time the sixteen tickets
were sent back by the lottery men,
with the offer that if the minister wo'd
pay for them, and they did not draw
valuable prize, they would make him
handsome present. This bait took,
and ten dollars were paii for them.
Another sixteen tickets were finally
sent to this greenhora, who was told
they were the last, as the million and
a half of tickets had been sold. If
ten dollars were sent to the lottery
men they guaranteed the minister q
prize worth two hundred dollars at
the grand drawing, which was to take
place on the Oath of October. The
money was sent. and the various sums
were acknowledged. Early in No
vember the minister received a letter
saying that one Of his tickets had
drawn a prize worth two hundred dol
lars, but that they levied five per cent.
on the prizes, and that ten dollars
more must be sent on before the prize
would be forwarded. This ten dol
lars was also sent, but was never ac-
knowledged, and the minister heard
nothing more from his friends"
Served him right. We suppose al
ter finding out the swindle and how
he had been duped, he went into his
pulpit and preached against the terri
ble sin of gambling. 1t is only when
sin benefits as, our minister, or our
church, that it loses all its wickedness
and we rush in and patronize ring

Terrible Fight in California.

A fearful street fight lately took
place between the members Of two
families named Coates and Frost, at
Little Lake, in Mendocino county,
Cal, which is thus described:
at is not known who fired first,
and as those who were engaged were
mostly killed, and the spectators dis
persed when the firing commenced,
all that die happen is not precisely
known. Upon the one side were
Duncan, Martin Frost, Isham Frost
and Elisha Frost. The three last
named were brothers. On the other
side were Wesley Coates, Albert
Coates, Henry Coates, Thos. Coates,
James Coates, Abraham Coates and
Abner G. Coates. Wesley, Henry
and James Coates were brothers,
Abner c. Coates was the father oil
Albert and uncle of the three brothers.
Abraham was a cousin of all the 9th.
ers except Thomas, who was his
uncle. All the Frosts had pistols
Colts navy revolvers. Duncan, how,
ever, broke his in the beginning Of
the fight, and did not shoot it.
Wesley Coates and Abraham Coates
had pistols, Abner Coates had dou.
ble barreled shot gun-one rife bar
rel and one shot barrel, and Wesley
Coates also had knife, Martin Eros;
was seen to shoot Wesley Coates
Abraham Coates and Henry Coates
ISham Frost was seen to shoot Thos
Coates; Elisha Frost was seen tc
shoot Albert Coates, and Abner G
Coates killed Elisha Frost with his
shot gun. Abner c. Coates was shot
in the shoulder. He was the least
hurt of any of the wounded, though
his wound is severe. James Coates
received a pistol-shot in the abdomen
which was at considered mortal, bu
there is now hope of his recovery. L
is not known who shot him. Duncan
was dangerously stabbed and Gu
about the neck, back and arm. Hi:
wounds at first were regarded fatal
but he is said to be recovering. 1t Ii
presumable that Wesley Coates stab
bed and cut him, as a large knife wa.
found lying almost in Wesley's hanC
immediately utter he was killed. Th,
blade of the knife is very bloody
Five were killed instantly and neye
spoke, except Albert Coates, who ex
claimed, My GodT and fell and cx
pired. A friend rushed to E.ishi
Frost instantly, turned him over, (h'
fell on his face, he threw up hi
hands, gave a groan and died. Abra
hahn Coates survived until next da
about noon, when he died. TIL
shooting could not have lasted NOR
than a quarter of a minute. 1t wa
like (as some of the listeners e1
pressed it, the firing off of strin
of shooting crackers, the shots wer
in such quick succession"
The scene at the funeral is said t
have berry affecting. The parent:
children, wives, brothers and sister
of the slayers and stain mingled thei
tears together over those who a fey
short hours before were graphing i
fierce combat, but who now were col
