In these deserted streets, life suddenly
stopped 1900 years ago. Ii Is truth that
the destruction WAS not instant aneous, and
a great number Of inhabitants saved their
lives, and even took away n good deal OF
their treasure. But enough was left to
show us every detail of Roman life. The
old world is set before Va, with all its
good aud its evil, its glories and It's shames.
We know what manner Of men and women
they must have been, anG what their daily
lives were like, almost as we'll rs II we
had actually dwelt among them. These
old POmpeiians were very modern. There
is nothing new under the sun. They had
folding doors and hO,-water urns; they
put gratiugs to their windows, and made
rockeries in their gardens; their steel
yards 4, E aclly like those ysnr own cheese
mougcr uses to weigh his Chcddars and
Glo'sters. Their children had toys like
ours-bears, lions, pigs, cats, dogs-made
of clay, and sometimes serving as jugs
also. Poor children. poor mothers. How
ness and dismay! People wrote on walls,
and cut their names on seats, just AS we
do now. They kept birds In cages. In
Naples to-day, a. you walk aloag the
Chiaja, YOU may find yourself in the midst
of herd of goats, with bells around their
necks, exactly like those la the museum.
They gave tokens at the door of their
places OF observation-disclosures people In
the gallery had pigeons made Of sort of
terra GOTTA. They put lamps inside the
hollow eyes OF the masks that adorned
their fountains. They even made grottoes
or shells. Vulgarity itself is ancient. They
ate sausaScs, and hung up strings OF onions.
They had stands for public vehicles, and
the schOol-master used u birch on the
ounces. They put stepping-stones across
the roads, that the dainty young patrioian
gentlemen and the pursy old senators
might not soil their gilded sandals. They
clappcd their offenders into tho stocks
two gladiators were kept there fifteen
hundred years. When their crockery
broke they riveted it. At Heroulaneum
there is huge wine jar half buried In the
earth. 1t has been badly broken, but 1t Is
neatly riveted-with many rivets-snd II
no doubt held the wine as well as over.
Those riycts have lasted eighteen hundred
years. 1t is q strange thing 10 think
about. Wha. would the housewife have
said if some one had told her that her
cracked pot would outlast the Roman en-
pre?

Gold from the Dead.

Some time ago Mr.. J. L. Clark, the gold
refiner, was waited upon by lady who
desired to dispose OF rough ball Of metal,
which, under the rciiner's usual chemical
tests, proved to be gold. The lady was
neatly but poorly clad, and, though Mr..
Clark was thoroughly convinced that the
ball was composed of gold similar TO that
used 10y dentists, he naturally inquired of
her its history, and was rewarded by AN
interesting recital of how it came into
her possession. Before the war the lady's
husband WAS practicing dentist in the
city OF Charleston, 5. c., and when the
civil war occurred he joined his fortunes
with the South. His health failed him,
and he was stationed at one Of the prisons
where Union soldiers were confined, his
business being to bury the dead or dispose
of their bodies. Whenever he discovered
any teeth plates he removed them, and
the accommodations lie hammered into q
bail. Previous to his death Inc gave it to
his wife, and told her to take it co relia-
bic rehner, who would give her full
value Mr.. Clark gave her over two hun
dred dollars, and thus the poor woman
Was relieved from the results of the dead
soldiers gold teeth-plates removed by her

Little Falls transcript. [volume] (Little Falls, Morrison County, Minn.) 1876-1894, 1883-11-02
GEISSEL,s LETTER

This weeks Sun contains lengthy
letter FROM George Goissel, of Two
Rivers, in which, he: attacks the char
ncter Of jonathan Taylor, the Repub-
lican candidate for county treasurer.
He charges Mr. Taylor with being a
defan1ter to the amount Of $500 or 5000.
The charges are made at too late q
date to allow Of as an extended and
explicit denial as we would like to
make, but upon examining the public
records at the court house we learn
the following FACTS: In the report Of
the board of auditors dated April 9th,
1873. the treasurer, who was Jonathan
Taylor at that time, was ordered to de-
post the county funds in the Marine
bank of st. Paul, and to secure the
highest rate Of interest possible there
for. In accordance with these instruc-
tons, the funds were deposited az di-
rected. Soon after the bank failed,
aud only portion Of the money was
returned, Up to July, 1882, the
amount still due from the bank was
500, and, on the recommendation Of
Examiner Knox, the county commits
sioners at their meeting held that
month passed resolution to the effect
that the account be balanced by cred
iting Taylor with the sos which the
bank was unable to pay. That is all
thore is to the "de1aulting" charge.
He obeyed the instructions Of the
! board Of auditors, and placed the
money where he was directed to, and
the county lost by it.
Geissel says that Stool should be sup
! ported because he is the choice Of the
German Democrats: The reason is
hardly valid one, az every one knows
that Nicolas Meyers was the choice OF
that class, and he is now an independ.
ent candidate.
