They Drank Him lip.

In the neighbOrhoOd of Marseilles, not
long ago. was discovered an ancient Ro-
man burying- ground, containing, among
other interesting graves, that of Consul
Caius Septimus, wherein a quantity of
antique weapons and coins were found,
and, moreover, an amphora-the inscrip-
ton upon which was all but illegible-
containing a small quantity of a thick,
reddish liquor. The amphora, emptied
of its contents, was submitted to the in
spectiOn of an eminent archeologist,
who, after bestowing extraordinary pains
on the deciphering of the mutilated char
acters engraven upon its surface, de-
clared 1t to be his opinion that they in
dicated the presence of genuine Faler-
nian within the vessel, adding that Caius
Septimus, q jOvial consul Of considerable
repute as a Judge of good wine, had OBJ
viously ordered that flask of the best
vintage in his cellar should be buried
with him. The scientific gentleman who
had discovered the consuls grave and
taken possession of its contents, upon
learning the true character of the liquid
relic in question, at once started for
Paris with his Falernian In a glass decan-
ter, and, there arrived, invited dozen of
his friends, members of the Academy of
Inscriptions, to a dinner at one of the
leading restaurants. At desert he pro-
duced the " consul's wine," carefully
poured il into four tiny Hqteltr glasses.
and handed it round to his guests, ex-
horting them to drink it, reverently and
outstanding, to the immortal memory of
Caius Septimus. The glasses had scarcely
been emptied when telegram was
brought in by the head-waiter on salver,
and laid before the founder of the feast
He opened and glanced at it, and then,
