The poet Longfellow, although
naturally of most amiable dispo-
sition, especially under the assaults
made upon his time and his pri-
yacy by simple curiosity and liter
ary-hon hunters who have no posi-
BILE claim upon him, would be little
short Of saint if he were not
sometimes annoyed by the pertin-
acity Of uninvited guests. Take
for illustration two instances
Three ladies, two from Chicago
and one from Milwaukee, entirely
unknown to the poet, send in their
cards. They are courteously re-
ceiyed by him in a reception room.
Would he be good enough to let
them see his library? The reqnest
is acquiesced in and the library un-
dergoes inspection.
"0h, it's lovely" $50 NICE" and
now mayn't we see the dining
room?"
The cloth for dinner was laid
and the hour for that meal close at
hand, but nevertheless the ladies
carried their post, but when it came
to wishing to be shown the kitchen
the host was fain to ring for a SER
want lest further examination might
extend to cellar or attic.
Another amusing instance, also
related to us by a friend, was that
Of an Englishman who, like Sil
Charles Ooldstream, had travelled
everywhere, seen everything" and
yet was terribly ennuied.
"Hawl yes, Mr.. Longfellow
thought | ought to see the great
American poet, m sent in ma card
The poet asked the visitor to bt
seated, when he resumed:
"Yes, see Mr.. Longiellow; Pvt
been great traveller, sir; been al
over the Continent; been to Ice
land, Sweden, Norway"
Indeed, you must have foun(
much to interest you,'' ,1
Well, something, but it's get
ting to be an awful bwar. w
just come from Egypt, old countr,
antiquities, You know"
"Yes," replied the poet; "man,
interesting remains of past ages
"Ah, yes-just so, exactly; heap
of old ruins. l like ruins. Now
everything's new herein America
you mow-can't find anyold ruim
so thoughtful come an see you.

what n Cart-wheeI Turns up In a
Street of Rome.

Cor. Boston Advertiser.
A friend Of mine has lately
found a most curious stone upon
the Palatine. She was walking ON
the northwest side of the hill, a
part that is filled with classic men,
ories She was looking for a piece
of Porto Santo marble. This is
the marmor Jassense, called Porto
Santo because the sides and lintels
of the Holy or Jubilee doors at the
Basilicas Of st. Peter and st. John
of Lateran are made of it. 1t
comes from the Island of Jassor in
the Archipelago. The grain is fine,
the tissue compact, and its frac-
lures Opaque. The general tint is
reddish without brightness, it has
numberless blue-black and violet
spots, veins and flaws. My friend,
Mrs. d., was about giving up her
search, when a heavy cart passed
her and the wheel turned up piece
Of the very marble for which she
was looking. She picked it up, but
it seemed so poor a specimen that
she hesitated about preserving it.
However, she did carry the stone
to- the marble-worker, who was
making her table ornaments. He
said the "Signora does not know
that she has found a treasure" and
pointed out to her on the stone
which he had cleaned off, a grafite
Of an imperial head. The stone is
about four inches long and nearly
the same wide, although a little
broken off on one corner. The
head is traced rudely by some
sharp instrument upon it, leans
forward; it is crowned with
laurels. The face is better cut than
the drapery and cuirass, and it has
quite a fierce expression. The per
son who cut the grafite was evi-
IDENTIFY dissatisfied with the first
tracing of the nose and mouth, fol
we see correcting lines on those fea
lures. Mrs. D. who isby the way,
granddaughter of the celebrated
Beckford, the eccentric author Of
the Vathek," came to one of my
Monday receptions, and brought
; with her her curious "fnd." W.
pronounced it a Nero head. The
stone was sent to Oavailere Ian
', cianti, who kindly wrote Mrs. D. {
valuable explanation of the graffitC
upon it. According to this learned
, authority, the stone gravee a Ia
pointe, represents the bust ot
Nero; his characteristic features are
recognizable, such as the short
beard on the cheeks and the round
chin. The Emperor is crowned
, with laurel; his breast is protected
by q cuirass or lorica, in the center
of which can be seen the head Of
; Medusa. On the right shoulder
and around the waist are the straps
that bound the different pieces Of
armor together. Over the right
; shoulder is the paladamentum finn
, briatum or mantle, ornamented
with fringe. Over the head is al
!, inscription, 'OAXIR, NER,' Cav
aliere Visconti thinks this reads
Caesar Nero. The word Caesar was
/ probably engraved by gladiator OF
, soldier, or circus runner-a barba
:, rian who wrote it as he pronounced
; it." Cayaliere Lanciahi, in the con
, clusion of his note to Mrs. D., con
. graduates her on the treasure sht
. has found, which, he says, Certainly
: merits place of honor in a mu
scum"
