A Bust of a Roman Emperor.

A writer says: "One of the most inter-
esting discoveries ever made in Rome is
that of bust of the Emperor Commodus,
represented with all the attributes of the
god Hercules. One of the most important
uses of archaeology is to confirm history,
and no more striking example of this is
offered than the discovery of this bust
History has not been silent on this weak
ness of Commodus, nor was he the first
Emperor who had aspired to divine hon
ors; but never before had the Senate sunk
so low as to sanction this insanity, and
to decree statues to commemorate it. One
of his desires was to attribute to this Her.
cules-that is, to himself-the title of
founder Of Rome, and to this end the
Senate decreed that the name should be
changed to that of Colonia Commodiana
Various coins of that period have also
been found, in which he is seen grinding
the pillow to mark the limits of the cityin-
imitation of Romulus, and history men
tions a statue Of gold of thousand
pounds, representing him as builder of
the city. This bust is remarkable as de-
scending much lower in the person than
is common and for having the two arms
and hands. In the right hand is the club
Of Hercules; in the left the apples of
Hesperides, in allusion to the last
fatigues imposed upon Hercules, and a
sign of his right to be admitted among
the gods. The bust rests upon q shield,
thought to be that of the Amazons, chosen
by Commodus on account of an attach.
ment to one of those warlike women.
Supporting this shield are two cornu-
copias, referring to the peace and album
dance of the time, for maintaining which
Commodus is frequently lauded in inscrip-
tons and money. Below the shield and
between the two horns of the cornucopias
is the celestial globe, emblem OF eternity
On this are sculptured three signs of the
zodiac referring to the dates of important
events in the life Of Commodus. The
base is completed by two Amazons, one
on each side of the globe, facing each 9th
er, and with one knee bent to the ground.
The whole IS put upon an elegant pedestal
Of rare alabaster. The beauty and sever
ity of the style and the remarkable preser.
walton of the bust render it very valuable
The marble is as white and polished as
though very recently finished. But this is
accounted for from the fact that this in.
sanity Of Commodus to wish to be repre-.
sented as Hercules occurred during the
last two years of his life, 19O-92 A. D.
Immediately after his death the Senate
abolished all images of him on whom
they had bestowed such vile adulation
during his lifetime, and this bust was
consequently hid away to see the light
after so many centuries"

Work of the German Postoifice.

The annual report of the German Post.
officefor 1874, the third year completed
since the establishment of the Empire, is
worth notice, not only for the growth of
business shown since the whole duty
passed under one administration, but the
amount Of accommodation afforded to the
public by certain branches not represented
with us. If an increase of the number of
postoffice missives be, as is often asserted
in our own case, q genuine test of nation
al prosperity, then we may dismiss as idle
all tales of the decay of German trade and
commerce, for in 1874 there were more
than 962, OOO, 900 letters and parcels sent
through the post, as against 878, OOO, 600 in
1878. In other words, the growth Of corr
respondence in single year, despite az
legged depression, was overs g. per cent.
Simple letters account for more than 900, :.
100000, the other 6O,OO0,OOO being Of
course parcels, of which two-thirds were
sent merely as such at very low tariff
and about another third, being those of
more valuable contents, passing at the
higher rate which makes the postoff1ce re-
sponsible for their registered value. One
purpose which the post specially serves
In Germany is the transmission in this
way of packages of notes, bullion and
coin; and in 1874, the amount paid on
these was e737 ,OOO, 600 sterling, represent
ing no doubt the greater part Of the circu-
lation of money through the Empire be-
yond that passed from hand to'hand. The
carriage Of persons and baggage on or.
binary roads is, as all travellers in Ger
many are aware, though not wholly q
Government monopoly, largely conducted
by the Postoffice. And in 1874 $40, OOO, 900
pounds of personal luggage was SO trans
ported, with very nearly 5000, 900 passen-.
gers. Railroads are steadily reducing
and that they are still SO large can only be
accounted for by the we'll known fact that
well-to-do burgher families spend in driv.
ing about favorite parts of the Fatherland
much of the spare time and cash which
with us are devoted to the annual seaside
holiday.-P1W Mall Gazette.

TIE rapid growth and extraordinary
voracity of the pickerel are we'll shown by
DR.. Sturtevant in the report of the Massa-
chusetts Inland Fisheries Commissioners.
The doctor investigated their powers of
eating in the following manner: He put
two young pickerel, five inches long, in a
trough with great quantity Of little
minnows about one inch in length; and
these two pickerel ate 1928 minnows the
first day, 1872 the second and $50 the third,
and they increased one inch in forty eight
hours! They were mere machines for the
assimilation of other organisms, and may
truly be termed the wolf of the waters.
