OLD BREAD.-A curious discovery was
just made at Pompeii In house in course
OF excavation an oven was found, closed
with an iron door, on opening which batch
of eighty-one loaves, put in nearly eighteen
hundred years ago, and now somew hat over
done, was discovered; and even the large
iron shovel with which they had been neat.
ly laid in rows. The loaves were but slight
y over baked by the lava heat, having been
protected by quantity of ashes covering
the door. There is no bakers mark on the
loayes; they are circular about nine inches
IN diameter, rather fat, and indented levi
IDENTIFY with the bakers elbow in the CEN
ire, and are-slightly raised at the sides, and
divided by deep lines radiating Fl ON the cen

In the same shop were found sol bronze and
52 silver coins. A mill, with great guam
tity of corn in excellent preservation, has
also been discovered.

Surveyor of Customs.

The President nominated, last week Gen.
James Longstre:t (late of the rebel army
to be Surveyor of Customs of the Port of
New Orleans. The Pittsburg Gazette Re
publicau} comments upon the appointment
as follows:
We must express our sincere gratifca-
ton in welcoming the Presidents nomina-
ton of Gen. Lonstreet to an important office
in the Customs at New Orleans The nom
Inee was a rebel oIncer oii marked ability,
and won reputation in the field, which pen
etrated beyond the Confederate lines But
he has since achieved a triumph, more
splendid than any of his career in arms, in
his hearty and unreserved submission to all
the decisions which resulted from the rebel
defeat. He avowed himself at once to be a
thoroughly reconstructed friend of the Union
and supporter of the Federal supremacy
He gave his prompt adhesion to the Con-
gressional policy, and has fought it out
steadily on that line since, in the face of the
bitterest social and personal ostracism ~Dy
nearly every class and section of the South.
We repeat, this appointment should crafty
Union men everywhere, and it will especially
encourage Unlonism in the South west The
people of that region will sec that the new
President means to have peace, and that be
knows where to find the right men to help
him In the right place. This pledge of Re
publican sincerity will be worth more to Re
publican supremacy in the future, through
out the late rebel States. than would be secur-
ed by hundred proclamations and bulletins

a CURIOUS LAW SUIT-A eat case has
just terminated in the Baltimore courts. The
plaintiff was the owner of valuable cat of
the Maltese breed, which had been missing
for about four months The cat was dis
covered in the possession Of the defendant,
and the plaintiff, in order to recover it, was
obliged to sue out writ of replevin, the cat
and Its collar being valued at s25. AT the
trial OF the case, in which both sides were
represented by counsel, the defendant pro-
duced an account against the plaintiff Of
$500 for boarding the cat 80 days at ten
cents per day. After hearing the evidence
and argument, in which the defendant S
counsel claimed there was no property in
cats, the Justice gave Judgment for plaintiff
for possession of the cat, and one cent dam
ages and costs to be paid by defendant. The
bill of defendant for boarding the cat was
not allowed.

1be Late Elections.

The Harrisburg Telegraph says: "Oul
Democratic friends have boasted for some
time past that the passage of the Constitu
tional Amendment would destroy the party.
Well, several elections have been held since
its passage, which have resulted as follows
In New Hampshire, where Republican
was elected last year by majority of about
twenty-f Ave hundred, an election was held
last Tuesday, and the result is:
For Stearns Republican 81. .S24
For Bedell Democrat % 026
Republican majority 4,79S
The Republicans elected all their candi-
dates for Congress, and out of twelve Sena-
tors elected this year, ten of them are Re
publicans, gain of four.
Another election was held in Camden
n. j., and the Republican candidate for
mayor received a majority of over FIVE hun
dred, somewhat larger than Gen. Grant-re-
ceived last fall
Bridgeport, N. j., has also endorsed the
administration of Gen. Grant, by electing
the whole Republican ticket in every ward
by increased majorities.

ment were displayed, he became known
throughout the State and was looked upon
as young man of great promise, and certain
to rise and make his mark Mr. Grant, who
then lived in Galena, only short distance
from Rawlins, was a sharp observer of the
latter, and formed a close acquaintance with
him, which subsequent events ripened into
friendship. But let events speak for them
! selves. In 1861 war broke out and Rawlins
quit the practice of law, laid politics aside,
and devoted himself to the task of raising
volunteers for the army. As soon as Grant,
, who had also entered the service, rose to the
rank of Brigadier General, (some time in
1861, he appointed Rawlins to a position
on his staff. with the rank of Captain. After
the surrender of Fort Donelson, Gen. Grant
made Rawlins- Assistant Adjutant General
on his staff and after the capture of Vicks
burg made him chief of staff, which relation
to General Grant he retained until his ap-
pointment as Secretary of War. We close
this brief sketch with what is the conclusion
of a more extended notice in cotemporary
paper:
Probably there are not two men living who
have, from first TO last, through long years
and trying campaigns, been warmer or more
confidential friends. As lawyer General
Rawlins rendered great assistance to Grant
in framing his general orders, settling ques-
tions pertaining to and arising out of mill
tary courts martial and of inquiry As an
executive officer General Rawlins has few
superiors. He possesses great good judg-
ment, always viewing from common sense
stand point. He was usually coolest during
the war in the midst of the greatest danger.
He is one of the mcst modest of men in
civil life. He does not possess petulant
nature, but is always even tempered One
of the highest compliments that can be paid
him is to repeat the generally recognized
fact that all his brother officers. from the
highest to the lowest, speak in terms of the
greatest praise of him as an able man, a gal
liant soldier, and grnial gentleman. That
Gen. Rawlins will perform the duties of the
Department of War to the highest salts
faction of all concerned, no doubt is ex-
pressed from any quarter, but, on the con-
trary, President Grant and the country may
well be congratulated upon the selection.

Ths Cabinet ReconsCructed.

The President, on Thursday last, sent to
the Senate the following nominations, which
were promptly confirmed
For Secretary of State, Hon. Hamilton
Fish, of New York, instead of Hon. +. B.
VI ashburne, resigned
For Secretary of the Treasury. Hon.
George S. Boutwell,, of Massachusetts,, in
place of Hon. A T. Stewart, resigned
For Secretary of War, Gen. John A. Raw
lings, of Illinois, in place of J. NJ. Scofeld,
relieved.
Also, Hon. Elihu B. Washburne, as Min
lister Plcnipotentiary and Envoy Extraordi-
nary to France.
The Cabinet, as now reconstructed, is said
to be much stronger intellectually, and com
mands larger measure of public confidence,
than it did originally constituted. If so,
the President improves by practice.

A French chemist lately took pair of
stockings imported from England, dyed a
brilliant red, extracted the coloring matter
inserted it under the skin of dog, and had
the satisfaction of seeing the animal die in
twelve hours. He then took the coloring
matter out of the dogs body and with it
dyed skein of silk. He warns every one
against the use of 'coraline, the dye used,
and proposes the prohibition of the impor-
tation of red stockings from England.

THE Two GREAT CITIEs-Tn New York
last year there were erected FIVE hundred
nc" buildings. must of which were dwell
lings. In Philadelphia there were 1881
dwellings erected, besides 1916 enlargements
and additions. The disparity Of increase in
buildings between the two great cities is stri-
king aud to most persons altogether unac-
countable. On this subject the Mining Reg
'ster says, persons unaware that Penusylva-
MIA is duplicate of England in underground
resources, also that Philadelphia is the op-
Grating basis and foous OF more Important
railroad communications than any other city,
affect astonishment at the, to them, amazing
growth of PHILADELPHIA whereas its expan
