THE RUINS.

Along the base of the CapitOlinc Hill
and that of the Palatine, is space where
once stOOdthe Forum and its surrounding
temples. The devastatiOns of time, and
the depredatons of the princes who
have built the huge modern palaces, have
left but little of the ancient ruins and
the dirt and debris which have accumu-
lated in twelve or fifteen centuries have
covered them to the depth of as many
feet. But the eXcayators have been at
work, and there now appear few col
umns and pillars, portion of the old
Rostrum, one of the old Roman arches,
and the rich marble pavement, az grand
old relics of the times when the rulers
of the world rode in triumphal process
sions through the arches, harrangued the
people from the rostrum, and worship
ped heather deities in their temples.
We stopped at the Arch of Septimius
Severus and looked about u.s. In front
were the pillars of the old temples of
Castor and Pollux, and on the Palatine
Hill, at the right, the immense ruins of
the Palace of the Caesars. Before us was
the road called the Sacra Via, which
leads on through the Arch of Titus to
the Arch of Constine, and to the Colos-
scum, whose ruins, solemn and immense

THE CHINESE N NORTH ADAMS. -
The Chinese New Year" occurred last
week, but there were no festivities at
North Adams as We're held last year
The Cinnamon did not work, however,
but spent their time in visiting their
friends, and having pictures made to
send home. They have improved very
much in their personal appearance and
habits during the past year. y large
proportion Of them have assumed the
American style Of dress, and in many
ways have hettered their condition.
Three-fourths of them attend Sabbath
school regularly, and have acquired a
considerable knowledge of the English
language, most of them being able to
read and write. and they will, to-day,
compare fayorably with most Of the
foreign population who come to Ameri-
ca ignorant Of our language. 1t is said
that fifty more will brought TO North
Adams this spring.

CONGRESS- SATURDAY. The Senate
closed its weeks work, or rather talk,
by taking a holiday. The speaker and
al but a score of members followed the
example of the Senate, and kept away
from the Capitol The House, how
ever, went through the form of having
an open session, in which half dozen
speeches, or essays, on various topics
were rehearsed to empty benches and
galleries and the manuscript delivered
over to the reporters to become part of
the Globe collection Of Congressional
oratory, and then to be distributed as
free mail matter among the constitu-

The CAR Hook MURDERER. - The
motion for new trial on the part of
Foster, the car hook murderer, has been
denied. The general impression prevails
that, by the denial of the motion, the
stay Of proceedings granted by Judge
Pratt, of Brooklyn, held over and gave
FOSTERS counsel ample time to make
their last effort in an argument before
the Court of Appeals at Albany. This,
however, is not the case; on Wednes-
day Foster will be resentenced to death,
and the only power that can save him.
other than executive clemency, will be
the granting of stay of proceedings by

a Practical CWU REF0RM.- Presi-
dent Grant has practical way of set
ding about civil service reform which is
not acceptable to office-holders of a Ger
tain description, or to those who are
simply political reformcrs. When the
rascalitie9 of the general order business
were proved to his satisfaction, the
President went to the root of the evil
by ordering the abolition of the system.
Now that the abuses existing in the New
York Custom House are exposed, he
wastes no time in beating about the bush,
but bags his game at once by ordering
the United States District Attorney to
proceed against every officer who has
been shown 10 receive bride, and
against every person who has offered to
bride an official. Grant deals with dis
honest public employees as he dealt with
the Southern rcbels-he marches direct
" on their lines At this rate the grOwl-
eTs who abuse the President had better
be COntcnted to remain out Of office

Lowry AND HIS GANG.-The ex-
PLOTS of Lowry and his gang of which
we gave a brief account in our telegraph
ic columns, yesterday, was one of the
most daring of the many exploits of
this band of ruffains. Providing them
selves with necessary tools from aneigh-
boring carriage factory and stealing a
horse and dray from livery stable,
Lowry and his men entered the offices
of the only banker in Lumberton, North
Carolina, quietly placed the safe and its
contents on the dray, then drove to the
Sheliff's office and did likewise, subse-
quently taking their departure. The
Deputy Sheriff followed the next day,
but his force was too weak to capture
the gang, and they retreated with about
twenty-five thousand dollars in money
and goods. Thirty-five thousand dollars
reward was offered some time ago by
the State government for the bodies of
these men, dead or alive Are there no

could unite and either take or extermin-

THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE RoME.-It is
reported in aGerman paper-the Fater-
hnd-that in a recent conversation with
some Roman Catholic visitors, Count
Andrassy, the Austrian Prime Minister,
suggests that there was no place now
for the Pope but Rome that it was the
position and the policy Of Austria to
maintain her present friendly relations
with Italy, and that she knew of no
Catholic Power, not excepting Austria,
which was in a position to offer an asy-
lum to the Pope" The Holy Father
has evidently resigned himself to this
opinion; but in the event of the restora-
ton of the empire in France this condi-
ton of things will doubtless be changed,
and the time is fast approaching when
there must be change Of the present
uncertain and unsatisfactory state Of
things in France.
