DISCOVERY OF ANCIENT GREEK PAINT
from the site of Corintb,
the naughty Greek capital after which
practical yachtsmen are proud to call them
selves, workmen in making a road broke
through tomb at place called MCCALL
Porta. Three sides were destroyed, aud
the ,tomb was empty. The fourth side
alone offers a very rare specimen of Greek
art, namely, mural paintings. The rem ain.
ing wall is divided into four parts, of
which the uppermost has squares contain
ing pictures Of grapes and birds. In the
third row are three small inches with three
weil-preserved paintings of figures between
them. In the fourth and lowest division
are fruits in baskets and birds which eat or
drink from vessels. In the second row is
a continuous series of scenes. One repre-
sents the funeral feast. A table is the CEN
ter, around which helmeted figure and
others are lying in the attitude assumed by
the ancients at their meals. He is nude
to the waist, and has white
cloth over his legs. Another male figure
(aude) stands at the foot of the
couch. Other figures appear to be in
violent motion, perhaps of grief. The
Archaeological Museum of Athens has
had copy made by Professor Ly-
tras In order to preserve record of
the color of the paintings as well as OF the
scenes in SO far as they can be made out.

pearance. Baltimore street, from its extreme
western terminus to Broadway on the east was q
grand vista OF waving flags and gay bunting,
many buildings being handsomely decorated.
Eutaw, Howard. Calvert, South and other streets

erS Conspicuous for beauty and taste in their
decoration were the american building, at the
corner OF South and Baltimore streets, which, from

best material, and the Eutaw house. the head
quarters OF the grand army. Even at this hour
the streets and sidewalks in the central part OF the
city were crowded, and all windows and balconies
from which the parade could be seen were filled
with ladies and young folks in holiday attire Del
egat1OnS and posts, with full ranks and visiting
military companies, with bands and drum corps,
were marching from the various deeots and
steamer landings toward Baltimore street, out
which they moved to Broadway-the general
