Lake, the great oyster lake Of the Romans,
from which luxurious Bai1 feasted and where,
doubtless, Cicero and Hortensius, rival ora
tors at the Forum and Senate House, used to
draw the delicacies of their table. Then on
to Baia itself with its fine ruined temples and
brightly beautiful bay, of which Horace
speaks so glowingly. This was the old water
ing place of the Romans, the Long Branch of
the Imperial City. From here it is but step
to the ancient Acherusan Lake; where the
tabled Styx flowed darkly through the pale
realms of the Shades. Close by this, with
not even a bar between, bright with eternal
verdure, bloomed the Elysian Fields, while
beyond doomed the dark promontory of Misen-
um, where in Roman days. the second trium-
virs met the voluptuous Anthony, Pompey
and the great Augustus. Having spent anoth-
err day of intense interest at Pompeii, we start
ed again and went to Sorrento, where Mrs.
Stowe wrote agnes of Sorrento beauti-
full place, and reached by a drive of the soft
est and vet most striking beauty. The next
dav we went to the famous Blue Grotto. which
you enter lying fiat in boat, and come into
a huge cave filled with water of the most won
derful blue or ultra marine, which is caught
by the natural and arching roof. Then we
went to Nictri by rail and to Amalt by car
rage by route winding boldly along the
cliffs and commanding scenery of the most
wonderful splendor and grandeur; think
the finest in Italy, striking, impressive al
most terrible, yet ever raised by the changing
hills, and mellowed by the tranquil sea and
the calm, shining mountains. In the night
we had terrific thunder storm, but in the
morning. returned to Salerno and to-day
went to Pacstum to visit those wondrous tenn
pies, perhaps the finest monuments of Greek
genius in the world, built before Athens knew
its glory and when Rome was hardly founded
on its crown of hills; and yet to-day, with
the exception of the Parthenon, the best pre-
served and by far the most impressive ruin In

Paine's bill for the apportionment of men,
bers of the House of Representatives, gives
the South and West an increased representa-
ton of about twenty-eight members, Penn
sylvania one, and New York two.
Senator Williams has reported from the
Committee on Public Lands a bill to aid in the
construction of a railroad and telegraph line
from Columbia river to the Great Salt Lake.
Gen Paine has introduced into the House
of Representatives bill which is intended to
take the place of the tax and tariff bill, &c.
1t reduces the internal tax % per cent. and
the duties on imports 10 per cent. after June
80, 1870 with the exception of all kinds of
liquors and tobacco in its various preparations
and the tax on stamps.
The House Committee on the Judiciary has
agreed upon a bill authorizing the President
to accept the resignation of any United States
judge holding life appointment after ten
years service, and satisfactory proof of physi-
cal or other disability uniting such official
for the proper performance of his duties. 1t
also provides that full salary shall be con-
tnued after retirement.
The naval authorities are about to send the

that American fishermen have no right to fish
within three miles of the Canadian shore with

The legal-tcnder question was unexpectedly
taken out of the Supreme Court, by the appel
lants, who quietly withdrew their cases, with
the consent of the Court, after conference.
In one of these cases the Court below had at
firmed the Constitutionality of the legal tender
act, and the withdrawal of the appellants was
a virtual recognition of that decision.

Letter from OrriHe d. baker from Naples
Italy, March 25th, 1870.
CLASSICAL ANTIQUITIES IN AND ABOUT Ma
When l wrote you last I had just finished
Vesuvius. The next day devoted to a Sec
ond and more thorough examination of the
Museum in Naples, which is the great sight"
of Naples proper, containing not only fine
paintings by celebrated masters, but fires Goes
and mosaics of great interest from the ruined
cities of Herculaneum and Pompeii. How
strange to think these were all painted by Ro-
man and Greek artists more than fifteen cent
uries before America was dreamed of; yet
many of them are as fresh in form and color
As if recent from the brush. Still more won
derful is the collection of antique statues in
marble and bronze, unsurpassed by any in the
world, the bronze certainly unequalled by any
thing have seen. Last Saturday we started
on most interesting excursion to the ruined
city OF Pozzuoli, formerly Puteoll, passing the
picturesque tomb of Virgil, then by the charm
ing villa of Cicero, to the famed lake, Aver
nus of the Ancients, the entrance to the In
fernal Regions of the Poets, across whose
noxious water no bird could fly and live
On its gloomy shores is the cave OF Sibyl
where Virgil led Eneas to consult the dread
oracles. You enter long subterranean cav
crn by the pitchy glare of torches, and soon
are compelled to bestride the back of your
guide, who bears you through black and
splashing water and finally lands you on a
little platform in darkness made visible only
by the murky torch light; and there the fate
full Sibyl had her home, and you look through
the little arched aperture from which issued
the mysterious prophecy. Weird and dark
enough it is for the entrance to black Orcus
itself. From Avernus, we passed to the ruin
ed and almost traceless city of Cum@, where,
however, you ride for some distance over the
fragment of Roman Way with its massive

The election of republican in Ash
ley's district appears to have been due
to some of "those fellows" in the demo
cratic party who favor reputation of the
national debt. The Cincinnati Enquirer
says GLOW was this produced? Mr..
Hill was an able and popular Democrat.
No objection personally was urged against
him on any hand. But in the Congress
ional Convention by which he was nomi-
mated the Williams county delegation in
sisted that a resolution declaring directly
for reputation of the bonded debt should
be passed" The consequence of which
was that the resolution defeated Mr.. Hill,
and Mr.. Peck, the republican, was elected
by 200 ajority.
