The Destruction Of Pompeii.

In the year A. D., 63, the ancient
city of South Italy, Pumpeii, was Wis,
tied by two earthquakes, occurring a,
an interval Of few months, by which
many public buildings were thrown
down, and an immense amount oi
damage done and il had not entirely
recovered from the effects of these
disasters, when it was overwhelmed
by the famous eruption of Vessuvius,
August "a, 10, which involved it aud
the ncighboring towns of Hcrculane.
um and Stabie in common dcstruc.
tion.
Tbenceforward, for nearly seven
teen centuries, the city vanishcs from
history, although the name seems
never to have been totally forgotten.
A village, constructed from it's ruins,
subsequently, arose upon its site; but,
after the destruction of this by the
eruption Of 562, the Campus Pompeius,
AS it was long called, remained, until
the middle of the last century, an un-
disturbed and uninhabited plain.
Tho eruption Of 10 produced strik.
ing physical changes in the vicinity,
aud the sea, which formerly laved the
walls of the city, is now upward of a
mile from its site, while the ncighbor-
ing river Sarno has been considerably
diverted from its ancient course.
Hence, the geographcr, Cluverius,
who investigated tho subject in tho
early part Of the seventeenth ccnsnry,
following the description of aRcient
authors, was induced 10 locate Pom
peii at distance Of several miles from
its actual position,

How Starving Men Feel,

Starving reveals many curious psy-
Geological facts. As rule, il de-
vclops, in an unnatural degree, the
strongest qualities that man posses
ses, but circumstances modify this
rule much. Among undisciplined
masses, ferocity and decentralization
are certain results, but when its ap
proaches are gradual and directed, and
governed by noble example and the
strong hand of authority, its effects
are quite different One phenomena
is the expedition of Strain at an early
day in Darien, especially MS il was not
confined TO one, but was exhibited by
all the officers, not excepting even
Strain at the last, deserves especial
notice. From the time that food be-
came scarce to the close, and just in
proportion as famine increased, they
did not gloat over visions Of homely
fare, but revcled in gorgeous dinners.
SO strangely and strongly did this
wbim get possession Of their minds,
that the hour of halling, when they
could indulge uudisturbcd in these rich
revclrics, became an object of the
deepest interest. While hewing their
way through the jungles, and wearied
and overcame until they were ready
TO sink, they wonld cheer each other
by saying, "Never mind, when We 90
into camp we'll have splendid sup
per-" meaning, Of course, the imagin-
AIRY one they designed to enjoy -
Truxton and Maury would spend hours
in spreading tables loaded with every
luxury they had ever seen or heard
Of Over this imaginary feast they
would gloat with tho pleasure of a
gourmand, never seeing the incon-
gruity of the thing. They would talk
this over while within hearing Of the
means of the men, and OIL one occas.
ion discussed the propriety of giving
up in the future all stimulating drinks,
us they had been informed it weak.
ened the appetite. As hereafter they
designed, II they ever got out, TO de-
vote themselves entirely and oxclu-
sively for tho rest OF their lives to cat.
ing, they sobcrly concluded it was
wrong to do anything to lessen its
pleasures or amount.

Carrying Concealed Weapons.

The Evansville (Ind. } Journal is re-
sronsible for the following:
"Therc IS absolutely no safe way to
carry pistol except to carry it with
out u charge. A young man lost his
wife, recently, by trusting to the di.
rcclions Of friend who told him how
he could carry u pistol without danger,
"Ilis Mary Jane resided some dis
tance from the city, and hc had a
great horror OF dogs, so he put his re-
volver in the hip pocket Of his Sunday
clothes, one evening, when he started
to sec her. The prospective mother
in-law met him at the door and told
him TO take the rocking chair, and rs
ho did so, the report OF firearms caus-

and his double -fsted boys ran in, and,
seeing mother and daughter lying on

and ho went through tho window,
carrying sash and glass with him as
he went. A big dog, aroused by the
noise, made for the fngntive, who in
his turn made fer the city, about u
mile, y mile and half or two miles
distant, emptying his revolver at the
dog MS he won't. The dog was dead
for that yonng man in more than one
sense for he darcs not approach the
house now, lest the old man may re-
vengc tho loss of his dog on him. The
old man says hc will never forgive the
murderer Of his dog. Ii any one asks
that young man bow he likes Mary
Jane, he says that her nerves are loo
delicate for country girl, and be-
trays an anxiety to drop the subject

How They Get into the Senate.

There was time when an election
to the Senate of the United States
was regarded as next to the highest
honor the country could bcstow-
whan none but the ablcst and most
honorable men were sent there TO rep
reseIt their States, and whom none but
honorable means were used at the
elections. But how all this is changed
now There are no less than four
Senators in that body who are directly
charged with having got there by cor
rupiion, and at least two of them on
trial upon charges of having bought
their elections with money. Another
under like charges is on the way to
the Senate, waiting for the reassem-
bling of Congress, and ut least four
more will make their appearance on
the coming fourth of March. In sew
eral Of the new Western States there
seems to be but ono why of setting
Senatorial elections, and that is TO-
settle in cash. In the pocket Seeate
of Nevada they have canvass on
hand at this time, and so bitter is IL
that one party threatens to make ID
"a conflict so memorable and terrible"
as to deter all future attempts TO buy
the Legislature. But that Legisla.
ture ,oW be bought all the same The
people of the State are lost sight of in
the contest, the whole business OF who

A Reasoning Horse.

A remarkable instance, says the
Janesville, Wis, Gd,ette, of equine
sagacity was exhibited. This horse
story comes to us testified by several
reliable witnesses. Thos. Drummond,
u tcamstcr in our city, owns n horse
which has been afflicted with lameness
for two or three weeks past This
morning Mr. Drummond turned him
out upon the common, hoping that
fresh air and exercise would benefit
the animal. Upon gaining his liberty,
the crippled horse hoppled along on
three legs direct TO the blacksmith
shop Of William Eager, entered tho
shoeing department, and stood there
holding up his injured foot, with bis
head turned and his eyes intelligently
fixed upon Mr.. Eager. This peculiar
act on the part Of brute attracted
Mr.. Eager's attention and induced him
to examine the foot held invitingly up
for inspection was the discovers Of a
long nail driven into the frog. which
was the cause OF the lnmeness. OF
course Mr.. Eager removed the nail.-
There was something moro than in.
stinct in the act. It was good senso.
Mr.. Drummohd generally has his
horses shod at Mr. Eageris shop, and
tho suffering brute undoubtedly rca.
soned that this was the place lor him
to 60 for relief. Equine intelligence,
according TO the common acceptation
OF tho term, is not so rare, but when
u horse deliberately ooncocls and exc
cutos a plan for relieving his foot of
rusty nail, ho certainly can lay claim
TO small portion Of the reasoning
faculties which are supposed to ele.
yato the human race above the level
Of bruiss.

CLEARFED PA, WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY NEW SERIES-VoL ~
Art in Japan.

What has really astounded me more,
perhaps. than anything here, IS art
The little hands and arms Of tho Jap
nese seem to fit them tor nice execu'
ton but they would not make the
pretty screens, or pictures, or inlay
copper, or lacquer as they do, II taste
did not accompany them. ! haveJust
seen big boy, only thirteen years
old, who is painting for foreigners
japanese costumes, and his execution
is wonderful. The papcr-bangngs Of
Japan are unrivnlled. | have seen
nothing in the world that remem-
Der, that equals the famous fan room
of the Hamagoten in Yeddo. We,
doubtless, got all our IDEAS Of beau,i-
tying paper, in Japan. The bronze
work OF this people is wonderful, as
well as their lacquer. They put years
of work often into daimio's room.
When VIC of English descent were
barbarians in art, these people were
all they are now. We see bells, and
bronzes, and inlaid work hundreds Of
years old. The iron and steel work
of Japan, too, is far in advance Of
many "civiIizcd" nations. The IA
nous Damascus steel, the removed
Toledo blade, does not surpass, if
equal, the steel sword Of the japanese
officers 1t may not bend rs the Da-
mascus blade, but it has strength
and tenacity beyond it. The old ar
NOR of the japanese knights is won
derfnl work for tho age and time.
Their work in silk and satin is won
dcrful, and also in Grape. These peo-
pie, farming people, too, who use only
the old spinning wheel and the reel Of
our grandmothers, who have no
Lyons or Aubusson looms, turn out
real works of art IT, embossed silks
and satins. | tell the administrators
Of government here, if they will only
send out their artists to study and
copy Lyons fashions, or to Undue
themselves with European tastes, their
silks, and satins, and grapes, will com
mand the market of tho world What
they most want to please us now is
the knowledge OF our capriccs, and
fashions, md tastes. From their
long non-lntcrcourse with the world
they have not advanced in all that,
and it is hard to persuade them TO do
aught save what their great great
grandfathers and mothers werebrought
up to do. The (foreign) Curio street
of Yokohama is gallery Of art. ]
could sperd days there, if | had time,
TO study them up. A people who
have their capacities can be taught to
do anything, and the marvel is, when
they learned il or who taught them.
