Pompcii was nothing but a small pro-
vincial town, mimicking the luxuries and
vices of the capita!-a retreat for ban shed
voluptuaries, pensioned officers and NOR
alizing poets. 1t would he ridiculous to
expect to fine within its walls any traces
of the ancient grandeur of antique Rome
Taste in ornamentation, skill in design.
We look for and Finland in the City of
the Dead we discover, as we might expect
to 20, more traces of the Ttans; the build
inys of Pompeii and Herculaneum, though
mere Lighthouses il comparison, appear
to he the work of men Of nearly our own
rank in creation. We find still standing
at Pompeii what at Rome are mere RUNS

Forum. Pompeii might be a city from
which the Inhabitants had just fled. II
wants only roots to the houses and the
sound of lite within the chambers to real
ize the Odes of Horace or the Satircs of
Juyenal. The traveller can scarcely be-
lieve that eighteen centuries have passed
since the red rain of Vesuvius fell on these
roofs and drove out their inhabitants.
The folio wing condensation OF the last
survey of Pompeii will be interesting to
our readers. The edifices Of the town are
built in the Greek style, modified by Ro-
man customs. They are generally small,
but nothing is forgotten to render them

sion of ornamental detail even in the

fresco, black, yellow, red, blue. or green.
The arabesques are painted on dry ground.
and are not encaustic. Mosaic pavements
we're universal in this city OF artists and
art-lovers. The simplest are white. with
black borders; others are labyrinths OF
white and black cubes, and few are
richly colored. The houses are dimsy,
built of lava brick and petrified concrete.
The wooden planks have all perished and
iron was often used by the Pompeians
where the richer Romans would hsye
used bronze. The streets were narrow
in order to keep out the sun. and this was
no inconvenience, as the chariots were
few and small, and horses and mules were
used as beasts of burden. The paving Is
of brick, asphalte and even marble and
mosaic. The roads were paved with huge
polvgons of lava, clamped with iron, and
filled up with loose granite. marble and
flints. In the rainy season OF December
