that the liquor business appears to have

Roman Magnidcence.

II fanythiny was wanted TO give US an idea
of Roman magnificence, we would turn
our eyes from public monuments, demor-
allied games and grand professions, we
would forget the statues in brass and mar
bic, which outnumbered the living inhao-
tants SO numerous that one hundred thou
sand have been recovered and still embel-
, lish Italy; and would descend into the
lower sphere of material life-those things
which attest luxury ana taste-to orna-
ments. dresses, sumptuous living, and rich
furniture.
The art of US ing metals and cutting prec-
ious stones surpassed anything known at
the present day.
Ia the decoration of houses in social en-
terraiumeuts. in cookery, the Romans We're
remarkable. The mosaic, signet rings,
canoes, bracelets, bronzes. vases, ,couches.
banqueting tables. lamps, chariots, ,coiored
glass. gliding, mirrors, mattresses, co smet-
les, perfumes, hair dyes. silk ribbons, pot
teries all attest great elegance and beauty.
The tables of thuga root and Delian bronze
were as expensive as the sdcbo ards OF
Spanish walnut, so much admired 10 the
Great Exhibition at London.
Wood and ivory were carved as eXauis-
tely as in Japan or China.
Mirrors were made Of polished silver.
Glass cutters could initiate the colors OF
precious stones so well that the Portland
vase, taken from the tomb of Alexander
Severus, was long considered as genuine
sardonyx; brass could be hardened SO as
to cut stone.
The palace Of Nero glittered with gold
and Jewels. Perfumes and flowers were
showered from ivory ceilings. The ha lis
of 1Eliogabulus were hung with cloth and
gold enriched with jewels. His oeds were
silver, and his tables Of gold. IIberus
gave a million Of sesterces for picture
for his bed room. A banquet dish OF De-
sillus weighed five hundred pounds silver.
The cups OF Druses were OF gold Tunes
were embroidered with the figures OF yarl-
Gus animals. Sandals were garnished win
precions stones. Drinkin. cups were en-
prsved with scenes from the poets. Ii
| braries were adorned with busts and with
| tortoise shell, and covered with gorgeous
purple.
The Roman grandees rode In gilded
chariots. bathed In marble baths. dined on
| golden plate, drank from crystal cups, slept
| on beds OF down, reclined on luxurious
! couches, wore embroidered robes, and
were adorned with precious stones.
They ransacked the earth and the seas for
rare dishes for their banquets, and Orna-
| mepted their houses with carpets from
Babylon, onyx cups from Bythinia, mar
bles from Numida, bronzes from Corinth,
statues from Athens-whatever, in short,
WAS precious or curious In the most dis
| tant countries.
| The luxuries of the bath almost exceed
belief, and on the walls were magnificent
frescoes and paintings, exhibiting an mex
haustive productiveness in landscape and
neurological scenes.
