The veteran Magazine, which long ago Outgrew
its original title of the New Monthly Magazine,
has not in the least abated the popularity it won at
the outset but has added to it in many ways, and
has kept fairly abreast of the times thanks the
enterprise of the publishers and the tact and wis
dom of its editors. For whatever is hest and most
readable in the literature of travel discovery and
fiction, the average reader of to-day looks to Har
per's Magazine, just expectGntly as did the read
of a quarter of a century ago; there is the same
admirable variety of contents and the same fresh
ness and suggestiveness in its editorial depart
ments now as then.-BOStOn Journal

Two SCAMPs.-Two men visited ia
maica, Windham county, the 18th of
last month, with horse and covered
carriage, and gave the names of Brews-
ter and E. W. Royce. They said they
were both ministers and physicians,
with an Office at ITO Springfield street,
Boston, and claimed to be worth SO, OOO,-
600, although their dress did not indi-
cate very much wealth. Royce was
taken i'll and they remained through the
month, Brewster, a man with fluent
tongue and good education, preaching
every evening, while his companion, as
soon as he had recovered, dectored a
good deal, and developed an unusual
fondness for the women. Now they
have left without paying their debts,
having given out they were going to
Burlington and Canada, and their nu-
merous dupes, who have discovered
that the stories about Boston offices and
fabulous bank accounts were all a fiction,
are anxious to learnthe present where

THE P. 81 O.-MAINE DIVISION
From the following item taken from Sat-
urday's Portland AdUertiser, we should
think the Maine end of the P. & o. was
growing healthy:
The Portland & Ogdensburg railroad
company has this week discussed among
its large corps of employees over $40, 900.
In one case, an engineer received over
$500 in cash, while quite number re-
ceived sums varying from 500 to $500.
All the back pay due every employee of
the road has now been paid over, and
the books are squared. This shows
distinctly that the officers of this road
will leave nothing undone on their part
to make for it an honorable record.
Though freight from the West is now
being contracted for to come over the
Ogdensburg road, and the first car loads
will probably arrive some time the lat
ter part of the coming week. This will
be a valuable feature in the carrying
trade of this road.

The SENTRY OE POMPEli:

The strict discipline of the old Roman
military regime is well illustrated in the
following account of his visit to the Bour-
bon Museum at Naples, published by Gen
er al Ambert in the Universe:
"We visited the Bourbon Museum at MAJ
pies. Coming to Hall No. we touched &C
cidentaily complete armor placed under
the door, when n sound was heard as il
something hard was striking against The
metal. A Neapolitian, approaching. said,
This is the sentry of Pompeii, "a remark
that excited our curiosity. After several
questions we learned what | ain going to
tell. In the armor of the Bourbon Museum
is still the skeleton of the soldier who stood
sentry before the guard. house in the year
seventy OF the Christian era. For eighteen
centuries this man has been encased in his
iron garment; the least jar causes the boles
of the skeleton to strike against their metal
envelope, hence the noise which attracted
my attention Only the soldiers quar-
ters were not abandoned. The power of
Roman military discipline kept the soldiers
on guard at their post. The sentry remain
ed erect in his box lie ming on his lance
We afterwards visited the guard room of
the soldiers OF old. who gave such a grand
. lesson to the soldiers of our day.

names and military carica,ares In one of
the chambers, which was used as q prison,
four skeletons have been discovered, of
which the legs had been fastened TO a large
iron manacle At the left was the lodge
of the centurion who was the captain of the
guard. He would not ABANDON his soldiers
Near the centurion's skeleton two silver cups
and one silver saucer have been fonnd
Right before the gate was the skeleton IF q
horse, richly harnesed, and held by the
orderly. 1t would have been easy for the
centurion 10 escape by horseback, but he

100000 involved, and for these of the Unit
ed States one of 500. ,OO0-enough to
add considerably to their means if they OBJ
tanned it. Of course from solely humans
itarian point Of view it is desirable that
wars thould cease, but IS long as injustice
rules In the world wars must need be, as
f0iled in every method of obtaining their
rights, people will as a last resource resort
20 the sword, the last argument to which
to-day peoples as well as kings resort. And
it certainly is to be hoped, in the Interests
of religion, civilization and humanity, that
the rule Of the Turk, which desolates such a
large and fair portion Of the earth's surface
should cease to be, even if to extirpate it
resort should be had to the arbityament OF
the sword. For four hundred years the
G. ristain people of Turkey in Europe have
cried out TO their brethren for delverance,
for thousand years the blood of slain ma
tons from the Persian Gulf TO the Bospor
us, aud from the SHOWS of the Caucasus to
the borders Of Ethiopia and the Atlantic
Sea, have cried out to heaven for vengeance
against their barbarian destroyers. 1t
seems now that the hour of deliyerance
and Of justice has come.
We do not think that this pending war
can be much longer postponed As is well
known, Russia has been preparing for it
ever since the conclusion of the Crimean
war, and now that she is nearly ready will
certainly not be baked Of her prey. Her
armies will soon be in position to pour in
an irresistible avalanche on the plains of
KoumanIa and from the mountains of Arme-
MIA on the plains of Syria. The present ne
gotiations are only carried on to gain time.
Germany will be neutral. France is not
ready to fight, Italy will follow the German
lead and remain gloriously inactive, while
Austria has too mnch to risk in an unsuc-
cessful war to afford to take up arms. Rus
STA WILL under the pre,ence Of securing
form in Bulgaria, march an army into that
province, it will be resisted by the Turkish
forces and the great war will have begun.
England will be called on for aid and, oc-
cupying Constantinople and Alexandria, will
ere long, be brought into collision with
Russia whether her people desire il or not
and once she is engaged no one can see when
or where ii will stop.
Her people will, however, require as
much wheat as ever, but they will have TO
come to America almost exclusively for it,
to look almost exclusively to Egypt for bread,
The United States as whole will then be
called on to supply from fifty to seventy per
cent more than they have ever before done
-the Pacific Coast will have to contribute
its share.
In fine We believe that war is inevitable,
that it will be long continued and that the
price of wheat will be higher than it has
been known forany year during the past
decade.-Son Francisco Journal.
