MISCELLANY.
NERO AND TIE CHRISTIAN MARTYRS.

Mythology was ransacked for bloody SUBJ
ject to put on an awful stage. The pictures
and statues were turned into CHASTITY tab
eaux vivants amid the ceilings and applause
of brutalized public. Now it was Hurcules
burned in his Nessus' shirt on Mount Gta, or
Orpheus or D@dalus devoured by beasts,
while the god Mercury stepped lightly through
the gorged arena and touched each body with
his red-hot wand to see if it still moved, or
Pluto stalked forth to dispatch those yet alive
with his mace, and drag them by the feet to
his internal kingdom. The most licentious
myths of the old religions, as well as the
crueest legends, were freely exhausted, and
thus by a grim, but unconscious irony, the
Christian martyrs in person supplied, as rep
resentatives of the new religion, the CHASTITY
apotheosis of the old. Meanwhile, Nero,
dressed up as a beast in a leopard S skin, COM
mitted in person the fouest excuses on the
public stage. But the most novel part of the
festivity was reserved for the evenings Then
might the whole of the population be seen
pouring towards the spot now known as the
great square in front of St. Peters at Rome
There, beyond the Tiber, was Nero's favorite
circus. The illumination was brilliant. The
usual lamps and torches were varied by now
device worthy of Tiegellinus. Living men
and women were immersed in barrels of oil
or thickly covered with resnous materials and
set on fire, until the crowded avenues reeked
with the fumes of unguents and pitch, amid
the lurid glare of this unparalleled holocaust.
Had the early Christians, had the writers of
the New Testament no cause for hating
world that reveled in such spectaces as this?
Could they do otherwise than wait in hope
and patience for the Lord " who should con-
sumo that Wicked with the spirit of his
mouth, and destroy him with the brightness
of his coming :" Yet were these scenes grac-
ed by tender and sublime episodes, bursting
like flowers of immortal beauty and fragrance
from the bloody and calcined soil of martyr
dom. The pale, sweet Bandina, crucified but
happy, and making others happy with the
memories of Christ Potamiena and Felicity
melting the brutal crowd by their quiet sweet
ness and modesty Perpetua arranging her
hair carefully as she goes to be torn by beasts,
because it is not right that a martyr should
appear with her hair in disorder, as though
what was really her glory should appear to be
grief to her." One simple girl SO touched by
her sweet patience and beauty the heart of a
young Roman that he openly pitied her. See-
ing this she was moved, and gave him, as she
passed along, the handkerchief that was on
her bosom. Overpowered with enthusiasm,
he followed her into the arena, and shared her
fate. Thus death seemed more lovely than
life, and the love that could suffer proved
stronger than the hate that could kill the
body.

MItiTARY SUpERsTITIoN.-The military
superstition that it is dangerous to change
the color of horse during campaign has
been illustrated by General Skobeleff, the hero
of the Russian army. He does not like gray
horse but he happened to ride one in the first
battle, and soon came to believe that he could
never be killed on horse of that color. A
correspondent of Sedalia (Mo.) paper, who
served under Shelby during the American
civil war, states that that officer had a similar
superstition. His color was sorrel, he firmly
believed that he would never be killed while
mounted on horse of that hue. He was
wounded three times, but never while riding
a sorrel horse. He had twenty-four horses
killed under him in the various engagements
in which he was not wounded, and in every
instance the horse that went down under him
was sofrel. Once ball struck the brim Of
his large felt hat, and scratched his forehead,
and he fell heavily from the saddle, but he
was on his feet in an instant, shouting to his
men: " cannot be killed to-day, for l am
on sorrel horse.''-N z. Tribune.

A PIECE OF SPoNeE.zWhen first obtained
from the sea, the sponge of commerce is
vastly different thing from those in our shops.
1t is then comparatively heavy, and presents
filthy, dirty. Shiny appearance, with an
odor of shell fish. Few holes are visible,
most seemingly being blocked up with a glu-
tnous substance. Then the process of what
technically taking the milk out" is pro-
ceeded with, prior to sun drying for if the
soft matter be left in putrefaction results
The process adopted by some of our mer-
chants i'll secret, and the precise means in use
among the fishers is not clearly understood
except by the initiated. At all events, a
squeeze and wrench, or stamp ing under feet,

atinous substance. The sand and grit in the
new-dried sponge are foreign residue, either
partically subservient to preparation, or sur
reptitiously introduced to add weight and in
crease the money value Of the article as sold
by weight. The Shiny substance or feshy
material above mentioned is the soft part of
the living animal, or congeries of animals,
for such they prove to be. This jelly, so deli
cate that 1t runs off like milk from the Rbrous
skeleton when death has occurred or occas-
ionally dries like glue on the fibre, every
where lines the fibrous structure, and forms
surrounding film. In appearance and CON-
position, it is much the same as the white OF
an egg. For long its nature was held to be
problematical, even among the mastery minds
of biologists, and all experiments and opin-
ions elected nothing more than its being a
torpid mass of doubtful vitality. But, after
the 1abors of host of scientific investigators,
its animality and many other strange partic-
ulars are now proved beyond doubt.
