Tiber's Treasures.
DISCLOSURES OF ART RELICS IN THE BED

DISCLOSURES OF ART RELICS IN THE BED
OF THE RIVER.
Father Tber has yielded up another of
his multitude of art treasures. Nothing
could be more picturesque, writes cor
respondent, than the disclosed bead of the
river within the dan that has been erec-,
ted below the Ponte Ssto. Great frag-
ments of columns, capitals, pedestals,
ard entablatures are lying about in all
directions, and the other day bronze
statue was found. Bronze statues OF an
tiquity are very precious from their
great rarity. Few perfect ones are
known. The equestrian statue of Marcus
Aurelius on the Hill of the Capitol at
Rome is the only complete equestrian
statue of antiquity that has been preser-
we'd to modern times. Unfortunately in
the present case only portions of com
plete statue have heen found, and these
in dozen or twenty pieces, but they are
sufficient to show they are parts of an
Imperial statue, some nine feet in height,
| of the best period of Grnco Roman art,
cast in the finest Corinthian bronze, and
| overlaid with a thick layer of gold. 1t is
| thought the statue is one OF those thrown
into the Tiber through the popular in
dignation. Upon the arm, which is bare
| from Just below the shoulder, there are
marks where it had been twice struck
forcibly with a sword, and the upper
| part of the wrist Is cut through by what
has evidently been the blow of heavier
weapon, possibly an axe. There is, says
a Times (London) writer, long list oil
| Emperors whose statues and blistS were
served in this manner; but, judging from
the style of art, the beauty and truthful
ness of the execution, and the perfection
of the bronze and gliding which pro
nounce the work to be of the first cer
tury, the statue may be one of Domitian
The interest aroused in this discovery is
shown in the report that the side of the
