How rompelI was d ,.,ro, ed .

As illustrating the phase of Ro-
man life in the first century of our
era nothing is SO significant as the
narrative of the younger Pliny.
The sublime indifference of the
Roman youth to the marvellous
phenomenon which his uncle, the
naturalist, set out from Misenum
to observe, and the ignorance on the
part Of the latter of the noxious gases
which caused his death, stand in
marked contrast with the careful
observations of volcanic phenomena
made by a lady of Boston, of no
special scientific tastes or training,
who CHANGED to be an eyewitness
Of the eruption of Vesuvius in 1872,
an eruption whose various phases
have thrown much new light upon
the way in which Pompeii was over
whelmed. The covering of ashes
and volcanic or lava mud under
which the city was buried is esti-
mated by Overlook at from seven
to eight metres (twenty-three to
twenty-six and a half feet in depth.
The lower half of this thick stratum
consists of gray ashes mixed with
lapilli, that is, the coarser particles
of the disintegrated lava, These In.
pill vary in size from that of an
ordinary pea to the thickness of a
foot in diameter, Above this LAYER
of the lapilli we come to the lava
mud Qayo Cayoso of the Italians).
This is thickspaste of ashes and
pozzolana, formed by the action of
powerful masses of water, the heavy
torrents caused by tho rapidly oon-
densing yapor, This oondensa-
Jon, taking place in an atmosphere
saturated with fine volcanic dust,
resulted in what might be called
showers Of mud, 1t is we'll known
that streams Of lava mud flowed
directly into Hercplanepm and COW
cred that city with a thick coating,
which was afterward overlaid with
several strata Of lava from the sub
sequent eruptiops of Yesuyius. But

From Avenel's Life Of the Queen.

From Avenefs Life of the Queen.
Once upon a time there was a
young Princess, beautiful as the
day, according to her flatterers /:
red-headed as the March moon, so
said the envious; who at the age of
fifteen was married to the heir of
the throne of friendly State. This
prince was but one year older than
she, but of a very different dispo:i-
ton. He was as dull and heavy as
she was gay. No one had ever
beard him utter a word in public,
and his only tastes were for hunt
ing and masonry. After his mar
riage he continued TO hunt the stag,
to help the masons whenthey came
to work on the palace, and to sit at
the table without opening his mouth
except to greedily devour food. As
TO the princess, she cared for no
other society than that of number
of dirty, noisy little dogs, that tore
and soiled her dresses; her greatest
pleasure was to ride on a donkey at
the risk of being thrown, and she
liked to have some one point out to
her all the odd visages at court-a
proceeding that amused her so
much that she often burst out
laughing in peoples faces. Her
only intimate friends were ladies
who were as fond of talking scan.
dal as herself, which is saying not
a little Called by the DEGREES of
Providence to govern a great
country, one day, side by side with
her stupid husband, she despised
her future subjects 50 much that
she ceased to respect herself; she
neglected to put on corsets when
about to appear in public, and she
never brushed her teeth, although,
as we have stated, she was very fond
of laughing. Knowing well that
the slightest Of her caprices were to
be obeyed, she refused to learn any
thing. Her ignorance was exces-
sive. She could scarcely form her
letters, and although she had a
reader, she could not endure to
listen to him for more than an hour
a day, and then by dint Of playing
with her dogs or with little children
who were brought to her expressly.
Neither music nor even singing had
any charms for her, because to
study them would have required
some application.

was upon a promontory formed
of the hardened lava of pre-
historic times. The pasty substance
which fell upon the already deep
layer Of ashes and lapilli was mixed,
as it were, in the air. To this
peculiar formation we owe the
wonderful moulds which have been
made not only Of dead bodies but
also Of many movable articles over
which the laya-mud had flowed. A
most interesting and valuable rec
ord Of the flight from the doomed
city might have been read in the
affecting story of these impressions
made in the lava-paste had the
simple device hit upon by Signor
Fiorelli, in 1868, been earlier dis
covered. The method of utilizing
the impression which the lava-mud
has so perfectly retained, is merely
to pour into the vacant space, from
which all the parts of the body
but the skeleton have crumbled
away. liquid plaster, by means
OF which a perfect cast of the
figure is obtained. The facts
derived from the study of the very
few bodies which have been found
since this method of preserving
their form was first employed are Of
great Importance from an archao-
logical point of view, while the
silent testimony which is thus
given as to the way in which these
victims of the great eruption met
their death is more touching than
the most pathetic romance ever
written. Other facts connected with
the peculiar covering under which
the buried city was found are of
interest, as showing the agency Of
fire was wholly absent from the
forces which destroyed Pompeii.
The lapilli were not incandescent.
as has been Supposed, and only in
rare instances were they hot enough
to give to the yellow ochres in the
wall paintings a reddish hue. The
carbonizing of the wood work of
the houses as well as the bread,
fruit, ETC., which have been found
in Pompeii was the work of damp
ness rather than heat, similar to
the effect produced on logs or piles
which remain for long time sunk
in the ground.

A lady of thirty, a plump and
jolly brunette, sees with some anxi-
ETY. a dark, downy line penciling
itself ON her superior lip. She
does not care to compete with the
bearded woman, and consults the
advertisements. She finds Just
what she wants-a depilatory po-
made, warranted to remove the
most obnoxious mustache woman
ever had in five applications. She
obtains a box at u price Of five
francs, and follows the directions
on the label with care. The mus
taohe thrives on the depilatory, and
after a while madame yields to the
inevitable, and consoles herself by
rejecting that it might be worse.
Three or four years roll by, and
she sees with alarm that her hair is
beginning to thin. A trile Of

head never, and again she has

III, "Strike, say" and the @band
began to play" Mr.. Reeves was in
good voice, and his first tones,
"Sing ye praise" charmed every
listening ear. Then followed the
beautiful air, "He counteth all your
sorrows" in which the old man
displayed SO much pathos and pro-
found religious feeling that in spite
of the immediate coming in of the
following chorus, the audience
thundered out more applause, which
made Mr.. Barnby dance a good
deal in front of his stand. In the diff
ficult recitative, ,"Watchman, will the
night soon pass? Mr.. Reeves ex-
celled all expectations. His read
ing and defamation of this part
was something grand. The au-
dience was at the highest pitch of
excitement, and indeed it was
enough to excite the most profound
thinkers In a critical point Of
view, it was easy to perceive that
the ones on D. K and + shagp were
difficult for Mr.. Reeves to sing
softly; but as he ascended, and in
creased the intensity of his rendi-
ton, his voice coming out robustly,
his Gs and G sharp were ringing
with such a thrilling tone that no
person could hardly think his voice
was failing, or even wearing in the
least. Admission was half IL guinea,
but ! would rather have paid five
guineas than have missed last

All was good, excepting the soprano
part, which was sung by one hun
dred boys. Itmay be very well where
the law of the church excludes

ment in person. l never thought
the people were so foolish here until
to-day, 1t seemed to me that the
populace Of London had gathered
to st. James Park and the route to
Westminster Palace. A perfect
mob was near Westminster, aud
more than the thousands of police
force could keep quiet, for the mob
broke loose several times and terror
prevailed. My wife wanted to run,
but to where? Every avenue was
blockaded. "Here they come" was
heard-and indeed all was quiet

the queen in a beautifully plain
carriage, but drawn by eight horses
