progressing finely, and that ere long We will

THE LAST HEADS ON TEMPLE BAR.

In May. 1716, the head of Colonel Oxburg,
concerned In the rising of Mar, was placed
above the Bar, and six years afterwards, it
received companion in that Of Counsellor
Layer, convicted of plotting the murder of
King George. The last remained " blackened
and weather-beaten with the storms of many
successive years, until it became the oldest oc-
cupant. Infancy had advanced into matured
manhood, and still the head repulsively looked
down from the summit of the arch It seems
part of the arch itself" For more than thirty
years did Layers head look down on busy
Fleet street; at last, one blusterous night, d
| friendly gust sent it rolling into the strand,
where 1t was picked up by an attorney, who
took it into public house close by, and there,
according to Nichols, it found resting place
under the floor; while DIR. Rawlinson, the an
tiquary, who was anxious to become its pos
SCISSOR, paid handsome consideration for
substitute f0isted upon him as the genuine ar
ticle He, however, died in happy ignorance
of the cheat and was buried, in accordance
with his desire, with the precious relic in his
right hand. Before Layers head fell from its
spike, it had been joined by two more, those
of Townley and Fletcher, two of the AS rebels,
who were doomed to death on Remington
Common on the Both of July, 1746, and their
heads elevated over Temple Bar the day after.
twas to these Walpole alluded when he wrote:
81 have this morning been to the Tower, and
passed under the new heads at Temple Bar
where people make trade of letting spying
glasses at a halfpenny look" 1t was these
heads that suggested Goldsmiths grim Joke
that SO tickled Johnson's fancy. The two
friends, both of whom were, perhaps, Jac0bites
in their hearts, had been meditatng among
the tombs at Poets Corner when johnson had
quoted Ovid's line: "Forsitan ct nOstium
aomen misce5itw istiS' perhaps, some day
our names may mix with theirs). AS they
walked together homeward, Oliver stopped at
the Bar, and in allusiOn to their own Jacobite
opinions, pointing TO the heads above. whisp-
cred :" F0rsitaR ct aOstrHm aOmea miscebitur
istis!" In 1776 man was taken into custody
for shooting at the Temple Bar heads with
steel crossbow. He explained that his loyalty
was SO intense that he did not think death suf-
ticent punishment for traitors and that he had
relieved his indignant feelings by firing balls at
the heads for his pastime of an evening. 1t
was supposed he was related to one or other
OF the unfortunate men, of whose heads he
had made targets, in hopes of obtaining pos
session of them. Upon the 1st of April, 1772.
one of them was blown from its perch; the
other did not long remain in solitary glory,
and the Bar was at last rid of the execution
er's ghasty trophies, although the pixies, or one
of them at least, remained to remind passers-by
of the tender mercies of the good old times

THE COLUMN VENDoME-It will excite n,

THE COLUMN VENDoME.-It will excite no
less surprise than qualification with those who
have mourned over the devastation of Paris to
know that after all the column of the Place
Vendome suffered but little injury 10 its over
throw by the Commune. M. Charles GARNER,
the architect of the new opera house, esti-
mates the cost of its restoration exactly
at it stood at not more than 10000 francs, or
S52 200. 1t seems that ten only of two hund-
red and seventy-four bronze plates that made
up the exterior of the column have been in.
iured and these require but slight repairs. A
few bars of the baustrade and some pieces of
the capital have disappeared but can readily
be replaced. M. GARNER warmly advises that
the statue of Napoleon should be re-erected on
the top of the column, otherwise the whole
monument is an historical and architectural
absurdity. 1t is to be hoped that it will be the
First and not the Third Napoleon, the Little
Corporal in the overcoat and cooked hat, that
was taken down and removed to Neuilly in
1868, and not the Brummagern Bonaparte, the
Roman snob, with an image of Victory in his
hand, which subsequently surmounted it. If
the late Emperor is to be set up on the column
again with Victory in his hand he should be
as sitting statue in a Sedan chair.
