In the Sale DIES Conferences de Boule-
ward DIES Capucines, an italian artist,
Signor Giacomo Luttazzi, has just ar
ranged an Exhibition which affords the
temporary illusion of stroll through
Pompeii. Both the eye and the imagin-
alton are alike deceived. By means of
system of photo sculptured views
carefully colored, and the boldness of
whose relief is greatly enhanced by the
way the artificial light is distributed, as
also by the use of a magnifer, the visitor
as transported right into the midst of
this disinterred city. The belt of trees
waving in the wind, the green turf en-
circling the wall, the murky pail which
overhangs the lilac tinted slopes of Vesu-
virls, the white clouds dotting the
heavens, the deep shadow cast by the
columns of projecting stone work, all
go to make up, as it were, living
frame for these interesting remains,
which serve to accentuate their own i'm
mobility, and the deep silence which
reigns over the place. Thus the general
effect is startling in the extreme, and
the ruins of this once wealthy COM
mercial city are made to show as bones
that lie bleaching in the church-yard
It reminds one-save for the dull milky
hue of the hme-of the low style of
architecture, constantly cut up by gar
dens, which is common throughout the
East. This suite of reproductions
which appear before one in their natural
dimensions, show in due order both the
civic and triangular forums; the
Basilica,--a rectangular court where
justice was administered; the Way of
the Tombs, with it's border more sug-
gestive of grace than sadness; the tragic
theatre, the background of whose stage
Gin lieu of end drop was the blue waves
of the Mediterranean; the Villa of
Diomedes, where oil was discovered in
the amphor@, or ancient pitchers; the
Temple of Fortune. noted for the
beauty of its columns; the habitations
termed of Cornelius Rufus, of
Faunus, or of the tragic poet-which
have supplied the more curious and
best preserved frescoes to the Naples
Museum; the street which leads to Her
culaneum; the Temples of Jupiter,
Venus, Mercury, and of Iris; and the
Pantheon of Augustus; the Public
baths, decorated with colored bas-re-
hefs; the comic theatre; and the vast
amphitheatre, upon whose piled-up
tiers 10000 citizens and country folks
could range themselves.

A New Industry.
From the Peoria Transcript.

tstf.# -aAt from the FeOr1a Transcript.
&C We are always glad to chronicle any
thing that promises to furnish new
industry and source of prosperity to any
portion Of our people, and we therefore
notice that the Lacon Gill; Home Jour
nal reports that Messrs. Fisher, Sons &
Co., OF that place, lately brought $500
pounds of fish and subjected them to a
steaming process, the net result being a
hundred gallons Of pure fish oil, worth,
at wholesale, 81 per gallon. They were
utterly worthless varieties, such as
gars, Sleeps heads, ETC., that every
fisherman catches in large numbers and
throws away. The apparatus required
costs but little and the refuse, which is
valuable as a fertilizer, will, it is said.

He Would Sing.
From a Paris Letter.

Brother Glover was pretty big man
in a certain old Connecticut village.
He would swear little sometimes, and
when he subscribed $500 toward re-
building aud reftting the old church,
that special act of charity covered a
multitude of sins. Brother Glover had
big voice. There was no time, tone
or tune in it, but he beloved as he
pleased in church singing. When the
new church was finished it had to be
dedicated, and choir, was carefully
trained to do the singing. Brother
Glover was not of the choir, and the in
tention was to rule him out of the vocal
exercises. The choir had carefully re-
hearsed a new dedicatory hymn and
everything wasready for the interesting
ceremonies. The church was crowded,
and Brother Glover was in his place in
a front pew as large as life. The new
piece was struck up and Brother Glover's
voice rose loud above the organ. There
was pause. The organ and the choir
we're mute, the latter mad The minis
ter, looking at a fly on the ceiling, ex-
planned that it was new piece, which
the choir alone had practiced, and re-
QueSted the congregation nOJ 20 JOIN IL
the singing. The piece was recon-
menced, and again Brother Glovers big
voice broke it up: The preacher then
fixed his eyes on Brother Glover, and
requested him to keep silence during
the performance of the new piece, which
he did not understand, and Brother
Glover, looking at his beloved pastor
with his big, round eyes, replied in a
big voice: Look-a-here, Mr.. Barn
hart, / paid $500 toward repairing this
damned old gospel box, and by thunder
I will sing" The preacher gave it up,
and 50 did the choir. .

English Tourists in Colorado.
From the Denver News, Dec. 10.

At Charpiot's, last week, were regis
tered four Englishmen, all officers of
London and Liverpool insurance com
panies, VINO are severally worth 50, OOO.-
600 apiece. They had thirty-slx pieces
of luggage, including two bundles OF
canes and umbrellas. They wore nc
iewelry of any sort, not even finger
rings, and carried no weapons of any
kind. Their servant has very soft sit
uation, and uses it to the best advan-
tage, ordering his cigars and wine regu-
larry, and having his employers pay for
them.

The Emperor of Russia and the Jews

We hear with deep regret, says the
Jewish Chronicle, that new act OF in
tolerance has been shown by the Rus
sian Government. It appears that or
ders have been sent to managers OF the
various railroad companies throughout
Russia to discharge all their employees
belonging to the Jewish community
from any capacity whatever, and to alb
stain from receiving Jews in their en-
ploy. This intelligence appeared in a
Berlin paper, and must perhaps be
taken cum gTd7aO salts.

Little winged god that dozes
On the petals crisp and fine,
Fly not with the falling roses
Fly not, for my heart reposes
Underneath those wings of thine,
Little winged love that dozes.
Though the thicket-ring incloses
Not one rose bud, child divine.
Fly not with the fallen roses
Any rose-red flower that blows is
Harbor for thy heart and mine,
Little winged love that dozes.
And st last when autumn closes,
And the shattered flowers decline,
Fly not with the fallen roses.

Of chrysanthemum and pine;
Little winged god that dozes,
Fly not with the falling roses.

A WONDER FOR BoTANIsTs. ST.
Thomas Dispatch says that on the prop
erty of Mr.. Gillis, near Fingal, Canada,
is to be seen the rare spectacle OF a
beech and maple tree growing from the
same stem, without any assistance other
than natures. Mr.. ellis says that he
gets more sap from the maple part OF
the twin tree during the season than
from any other maple tree, but that the
sap is not SO good, and shrewdly sus-
poets that part of the juice of the beech
is carried into the bucket. This is a
sight for botanists.

ADMIRAL WoRDEN, who commanded
the Monitor in her famous fight WITH
the Merrimac, intends to petition Con
gress, on behalf of himself and his
officers and men, for bounty to the ex-
tent of the estimated value of the Mer-
rimac. The case is outside Of regular
bounty prize laws, and is exceptional,
like that of the Kearsarge, which de
stroyed the Alabama, fer which specla'
act of Congress had to be passed. The

tured, but it is claimed that she was sc
disabled as to be practically destroyed

SURE SIGS.-We have been waiting
patiently for sure sign as to the coming
winter. We have that sign now, and no
mistake 1t is stated that all the grey
squirrels are emigrating from northern
ATTITUDES, and that is because of the hard
winter that approaches. Mind You, tn"
grey squirrels, for the black ones stay and
fight it out all winter where they are.
We do not know the philosophy of this
thing, except it be that black absorbs heat
more than lighter colors-if black be II
color-and therefore the black squirrels
have supply Of heat already absorbed
enough to last them, while the grey
squirrels having reflected SO much of
their heat find their supply insufficient
for a cold winter, and must needs go
where less clothes are needed. OF this
thing, however, you may be assured, that
the departure of grey squirrels is Il GER
tain, sure sign of a cold winter.

Boatmen are anxiously looking for
