Singular Festivities at PomDeii.

The municipality of Naples has no ide,
of being behind either Florence or Turjr
in welcoming Prince Hubert and his wife
who are expected to take up their abode in
the palace some time in November If tbey
carry out the project they have now under
consideration, the chances are that lareer
crowd of sight from all lands viii. be
collected here than were attracted bv the
tournaments of the present capital of Italy.
1t is proposed to give grand feast at Pom
peii. which is to last for twenty -four hours.
During that period Pompeii is to be restored
to what is supposed to have been it's condi-
tion before it was destroyed. The shops
are to be filled up, as in the days of old. and
shopkeepers are to stand in the stalls in the
costumes of the period.
The streets, the temples and the public
monuments, are all to be decorated as they
would have been on festal days in the an
cient times. In fact. the present skeleton
OF Pompeii is to be revivifed, and the last
days of Pompeii are to be enacted over
again. At mid day there are to be wrest.
l'ngs and races and boxing, and, Pompeiian
games, but no gladiators. The vctors are
to receive their prizes in the Temple of
Fortune, and afterward it is proposed to
open the old theatre, when Greek tragedy,
translated into Italian, will be acted. In the
evening the large amphitheatre is to be ilu- ,
minated with torches. by the light of which ,
iancers are to dance until daylight appears.
such is the spectacle which the municipality /, /,
AVE now under consideration. If it is
,iven, it will not only be magnificent, as I
ornaments or illuminations may be, but it /
Till have an interest of its own, which will T
ttract many to witness it who are not ordi-
AIRY sight-seers.

Americans generally have quite confused
and erroneous notions of evcry-day life of
the inhabitants Of the Eastern countries. .par-
tfcularly that of China and Japan. Oar
notions are to too great an extent derived
from the personal appearance Of Cinnamon
who sell poor Cigars in our streets, and
from the labels on tea-chests and Japanese
trays. Those who haze seen them at
home think differently of them. The
traveller Drummomd says that the Japanese
ladies are the most fascinating and elegant
women that he ever saw in any quarter of
the globe. Music, dancing. the theatre,
and mountebanks abound
to give them pleasure. punch" who.
many people think, is means of amuse

China. aud has been traced in Tartary, and

SIT The young and pretty ladies', or those
who fancy themselves saoh. Printed nro.
grammes and books Of the play are
always on hand. NJ. Fisher saws, 1.-The
ladies who frequent the theatre make a point
of changing their dress two or three times
during the Representations. in order to dis
play the richness of their wardrobe: and
they are always attended by servants who
carry the necessary articles of dress for the
purpose. The young ladies'. in their social
gatherings. employ themselves in making
pretty boxes. artificial fowers. pocket
books, etc. and in painting fans birds. and
