The, Roman Daily squint-Eye.
Harvard Herald.

The Herald, always on the alert to furnish
its readers with the latest news, is pleased
to.anneunce the discovery by reporter, Of
copy of the Roman Daily Sqatint- Eye. We
| should like to speak of the Squtint- Eye as an
esteemed contemporary, but with due re-
for the paper was printed about 4. ID. 125.
We present below some extracts:
A large and brilliant audience assembled
yesterday at the Coliseum to witness some
gladitorial contests that were given by our
popular friend, Quintius Publius, recently
elected to attend to the removal Of ash bar
| rels from the sidewalks, and the arresting of
students, who, 20 use the splendid words of
the orator, must be destroyed. The receipts
| OF the box office show that there were nearly
$4,000 persons present, and an equal number
of slaves and women. Chief interest GEN.
tered upon the young gladiator, Magnus
Pugnus, whom the management have been
SO judiciously advertising. After killing
three lions, an elephant, six leepards, crush
| ing the skull of an OK, kicking down q frame
horse and eating ten or twelve slaves, he was
| pltted against one of the stock company of
gladiators, Totem Idem. We cannot speak
After some amusing by-play, such as goug-
| ing out each others eyes, tearing ears, etc.,
the combatants went at it in earnest. 1t was
a royal fight, and the Emperor showed his
| ninfi,, hu and than tbrp,vipu a
virgin into the bear-pits.
An elegant reception began last evening at
| the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Junius Anto-
MUS. Dancing will be kept up until next
week. The banquet is being furnished by
the caterer, Lucius. Among other things on
the menu, which were engraved on gold, we
notice perfumes of Araby, fried in crumbs;
Phrygian zephyrs, with June bug wings;
hum of Ccadas, with dissolved pearl sauce,
beside many other rare and novel dishes.
AS we 60 to press the company are enjoying
themselves immensely, three have been
poisoned and the rest are all drunk.
We must call the attention of the Emperor
to the necessity of beheading a few of the
students. Yesterday at the Coliseum they
acted shamefully. When the dozen virgins
were about to enter the dens TO be eaten by
the animals body of students without the
slightest regard for the presence of the En-
peror went up and coolly asked the girls for
lock Of their hair. And it was only week
ago that we gave an account of student
who killed barber because when he asked
to be shaved the barber innocently asked
him ''if he'd send his slave TO get it," The
Emperor should impress upon the pupils
and their pedagogues that they had seen
Rome and that the sun would get up If they
didn't.
An interesting case is being tried in the
Forum. 1t seems that young man has been
for some time paying attention to Julia, the
daughter of Flavius. The latter has agreed
to give the girl to the young man, Lentulus,
but III the meantime another lover offers
several millions more sesterces for the girl,
and Flavius,o of course, agreed he should have
her. Flavius now sues Lentulus for the
cost of oil burned during his calls, some Of
which, says the prosecutor, lasted three
weeks. Lentulus puts in rejoinder, and
says that on three several occasions he
kissed the girl, who is homely enough to
quiet the Delphic oracle, and that in consid-
Grafton of this he ought to be let of.
We ought to acknowledge the receipt from
the Emperor of an order not to publish the
names of his guests at dinner who happen to
die rather suddenly. We would like the
Emperor to understand that we run the
paper, and don't care a nightlngale's eye
lash what he says. Our funeral will take
place ay-after-to-morrow, and all those who
have paid up their subscription to date are
invited. We are at present receiving bids
for the widow.
