Coolies were imported until within few

this period expired the coolies naturally

them have accumulated some wealth,
nearly all are industrious, but with the
great mass it is u serious question as to
the provision for even the meagre food
which satisfies their idea of living. Their

The stagnant water which has been
suffered for years to accumulate and breed
fevers and frogs in the Coliseum at
Rome has been strained off at last. An
ancient sewer, extending from the meta
sudans to the Tiber, was discovered, and
was connected with drain from the
Coliseum. The water was admitted into
this ancient sewer on the Sd of March,
and the flood which filled the basement
story of the famous amphitheater Of
Flayius was gradually drawn of. In
cleansing the sewer there were found a
quantity of ancient lamps with gladia-
torial ornamentation, human skulls and
bones of animals. Much Of the old
Roman road in the Foro Romano is now
exposed to view, and the ruins of the
shops of the gold and silversmiths are
visible.

A NEW NATIONAL GAME.

From The awful oppression that base
ball has inflicted upon the American
newspaper-reading public for the past
ten years, almost anything is relief
The man who made wager to eat forty
quail in forty consecutive days was not
more nauseatod than are the public by
the bald-beaded prominence given to the
so-called National Game-God save the
mark, Anything else is therefore well
coined as a relief from this mercenary
and now altogether prostituted game. 1t
has had its day. Those who once ran
bases before adnliring and interested
sports are now On their last legs.
Another interest for time has super
seded the game of ball, and as long as
the championship of tramping over saw
dust kept the worlds belt in this coun-
try the surplus energy Of sporting Amer
lea and newspaper reporters was cXpend-
ed on walking matches. But we have
lately found out that the people of other
countries can hoof it lively as well as we
Americans. The enslaved subjects of
the effete monarchies Of the old world
can come over here, and after trotting
around a ring for few days bag a
few thousand dollars and return to their
semi-barbarous homes to enjoy their
pIundcr. This is right, because it is in
accordance with the eternal fitness OF
things America in her youthful vain
gloriOusness has claimed to be leading
nation of tramps. But Mr. Rowell has
taught her people that they are too diff
fusive in the tramping game and lack
concentration. So he showed them how
to bring the thing down to a focus, and
he and his friends charged them a few
score of thousand dollars for the lesson.
But there are few games on which the
patriotic American can safely hazard his
shekels-on cooking and eating baked
beans-on the scientific decoction of cod
fish balls-on the cultivation, education
and introduction Of the oyster into socia
ciroles-on the capacity of the clam tc
vie with the parliamentary whitebait fol
gastronomic purposes. But these mat
ters are all for the future development o.
men who enjoy putting their money Oh
the peril of bet.
As people We most confne ourselves
to our strong points, and in this view il
is gratifying to see that pie-eating match
es are coming into vogue. One came
ofin st. Louis the other day. 1t was not
particularly brilliant thing, but will
probably give rise to future contests

head and made quite fuss over it, until
finally the stableman told him to be care
full that the colt did not turn around and
kick him. When the little chap went

thought about the colt. "He's real tame
in front, but he's awful wild behind" )" was
the reply.

The Last OF NiagarA's Ice Bridge.
The great ice bridge, which has pro.
vided a winter attraction for Niagara
has disappeared. A correspondent OF
the Buffalo Courier, givinga parting de.
scription of it, says: 1T is strange, but
fact, that most of the bridge was snow,
and nothing but the severe cold weather
that we had had kept it together 50 long.
1t is estimated that about eighteen thou
sand people have crossed this bridge. On
Sunday, Feb. 9th, over one thousand
people passed over it, excursion trains
having brought the people here over the
Central and Erie Railways. Mr. Con-
yoy, the well-known guide, was the first
to cross the ice bridge on Dec. 30th.
The last to cross was boy, accompan-
led by a dog, Wednesday afternoon, the
18th inst. Although there have been a
great many dangerous places about the
Falls during the winter, and 50 many
thousands of people have gazed upon the
grand sights and superb scenery, it is
pleasant to know that not single acci-
dent has occurred. 1t will not be sur
prising if we have another ice bridge this
spring, when the ice comes down from
the lakes. May Sth, 1877, an ice bridge
formed just below the American Falls,
while grass was being cut in Prospect
Park, People crossed the bridge at that
time for two or three days; it broke and
went down the river on the 18th"
