Eighteen hundred years ago, life sud-
denly ceased in the streets of Pompeii.
Many Of the inhabitants escaped from
showers of ashes and stones which We
suvius dropped upon the doomed city,
but they left behind them hundreds of
things which illustrate the familiar say
ing, There is nothing new under the
sun" An English magazine says:
Those old Pompeiians were e mod
ern. They had folding doors and hot
water urns; they put gratings to their
windows and made rockeries in their
gardens; their steel-yards are exactly
like those our own cheese-monger uses.
Their children had toys like ours
bears, lions, pigs, cats, dogs, made Of
clay, and sometimes serving as jugs also.
People wrote on walls and cut their
names on sents, Just as we do now.
They kept birds in cages.
They gave tokens at the doors of their
places of entertainment-the people in
the gallery had pigeons made of u sort
of terra Gotta.
They putlamps inside the hollow eyes

tains. they ever made grottoes of shells

Fannie Rose and her mother retired
to their home. The people of Skipton
gave a banquet in honor of the youth

asm Mr.. Whallie refused to give his
consent to a marriage. He kept his
daughter closely guarded, and told the
young man to go and seek a fortune be-
fore he could hopet to become his son in

Charles accepted the challenge, and
after having found occasion for q tender
parting, he set sail for this country.
For a year he worked hard in this city.
Circumstances not only favored him, but
he also received the Joyful intelligence
that his bride had fallen heir to So 900

he returned to England and arranged

How the System Of Reciprocity WORKS.
Simon Cameron's Principles.
Washington Letter to Augusta Chronicle.
Years ago when Senator Matt Ransom,
who is n Of the brightest of men was
a novice in the upper house Of congress,
the veteran Simon Cameron Of Pennsyl-
vania took q fancy to him, and, as is the
custom OF the elder brethren, persuaded
him to vote on his Pennsylvania Ene.
Once, in open senate, Mr.. Cameron
handsomely complimented the North
Carolinian and promised to fecirrocate
his kindness. Now, the Camerons
never forget a favor and always repay
obligations. This was notably illus
trated when nson of Simon paid the po-
lltical debt os his father to Gen. M. g.
Butler. 1t happened that Senator Ran
som had o bill of some kind md
that II vote might defeat it. He rec
objected the promise Simon Cameron
had made and looked around
the chamber to remind him
OF it. He was not in his seat and could
not be found in the cloak rooms. Ran
som ran down to the old gentleman's
committee room and pushed it in. The
PENNSYLVANIA senator was there sur
rounded by a crowd of constituents, all
OF whom were making merry with I'M
limited champagne. The old politician
did not relish the sudden invasion oil
his castle and his face was a thunder
cloud. Affecting not to notice this,
Ransom gasped out: Senator Gamer.
on, you promised to vote with me when
/ asked you to do so. The time has.
come. l am in a tight squeeze and you
must come to the chamber and help me
out" The old gentleman rose in high
dudgeon, but went forth to perform his
promise. He then returned to the
friends he had rather unceremoniously
left. About ten minutes afterwards,
who should pop in again but Matt Ran
som. Walking up to the astounded
Cameron he said: "Senator, I have
come to ask you another favor" The
Pennsylvania glowered at his North
Carolina colleague and said with some
asperity. ''The deuce you

has any rightto be displeased with me ?"
The men thus appealed to Numbered
out that North Carolina was acquitted
OF all blame and that Pennsylvania must
be reconciled. Then turning to the old
senator, who began to understand and
enjoy the situation. Gen. Ransom add
ed: "The favor l ask of you is nm in

cent sunsets, and taking Ransom by the
hand afiectionately, presented him to.

another basket of champagne was or
dered and the North Carolina senator
became the lion of the hour.

next instant he placed the muzzle of the
weapon at his own breast. With a
shrek, Maggie sprang at him and
wrenched the weapon from his grasp.
She could nst withstand this last proof
of her betrothed's fidelity, and the young
couple became reconciled on the spot.
Miss Fannie thought of some other
means of revenge. In some way she
and her mother heard of the shooting
incident. They repeated it to Mr.. Whal-
lie in q greatly exaggerated form. He
forced q confession from his daughter.
Armed with this, he applied to a coun-
ty magistrate for q warrant for the
young mans arrest, and Mr.. Holdings
worth was cast in Jail on the charge
of having attempted to kill his betrothed.
the utmost excitement prevailed.
The only witness to the shooting was
the young bride. She had been brought
into court by her father, and had prom
ised to give her testimony. A few feet
from her stood her lover in the prison
er's dock. On the front row of
benches sat her rival and the ~latter's
mother.
In a low voice, often broken with
emotion, she told the story of her love
and trials. She related how she was
being made the victim of an oiions con-
spiracv, in Which her former friend,
Mrs. Rose, and her own father had
joined. She had consented to appear
rs a witness as the only means she had
to let the truth be known.
The effect of these words was ~electri-
cal. The audience broke forth in a
wild burst of applause, and the magis-
trate ordered young Hollingworth's
honorable acquittal. A triumphal pro
cession was formed, and the young cou-
-vulgarity itself is ancient.
They ate sausages and hung up strings

They put stepping-stones across the

might not soil their gilded sandals.

& Brolen-Down Miner Finds Him
self Worth Thousands.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Before the Hale & Norcross fight
anne on-this is tradition almost-there
arrived IN town a dissipatel miner who
had worked in the mine. He was pretty
badly broken down apparently, but lie
went into a brokers' Office, and after be-
ing told to get out rs a tramp, he said
he thought a good deal of Hale & Nor
cross and wanted toinvesta trihing sum
in it. Two feet, at $40, were bought
for him, and he gave the certificate to
the broker, saving that he was going
down to Mexico prospecting, and he
would like to leave it behind to be
dealt with as the broker saw fit.
He was not heard of for months.
Hale & Norcross was up to So, 900 a
foot. One morning the broker found
the dilapidated miner on his doorstep
when he came down to business. The
miner rose and said:
wei Tn here. | thought I'd come
and see you. l s'pose there amt moth
ing left of that Hale e. Norcross. I
guess you must q sold it out, but I'm
down an I amt got a cent. Maybe
you'd lend mo four bits to get a bit of
breakfast?"
The broker looked at him and gave
him So to go and get q bath and a
breakfast, and presently he returned.
"Sit down and wait a minute. I'll
make up your account presently" He
left the dilapidated man on the edge of
a chair. He came back with a check
and sent his clerk down to
the bank. The clerk returned with
a big bag of gold. The poor devil
watched the proceeding with a misera-
bic Indifference. The gold was all
stacked upon the counter.
Look here. I've sold your two feet
of Hale 4 Norcross for $4,000, and
here's your money"
The miner fell on the floor and cried
like a baby. He could not read or write,
and had no idea what the market was.
He sent q draft of 50, 900 to his mother.
The broker bought for hin $40 900
worth of registered bonds and gave him
$2.40O in coin, which he spent in three
days. Two bunko men brought him in
drunk and tried to get his bonds, but
the broker drove them out, and when
the man got sober he came and had the
bonds sewed into his clothes and was
dispatched east. He has never been
heard of since.

The Archaeological society at Athens
has decided to make researches at the
bottom of the sea in the Bay of Salamis,
where the famous naval battle between
the Greeks and Persiam was fought.
The water is not very deep in the bay.
As the present state of technical science
enables the society to adopt efficient
means of investigation. and as the assoc
citation possesses the necessary financial
strength, it is hoped that the enterprise
will succeed. Since the Greeks lost
about so and the Persians nearly 200
galleys, which have since been lying
undisturbed at the bottom of the sea, It
is thought that it might be possible to
bring up some complete specimens, or
at least portions of them, which may az
ford more accurate knowledge Of the
naval architecture of the old Hellenes
and the Persians then can be gathered
from their writings.

At the first battle Of Bull Run John
Meigs, a son of General Meigs, and q
West Point cadet, seeing no generals
about, assumed and for some time di-
rected the movement Of the troops, the
officers supposing he was an aid-de-
camp, and that the orders came from
the generals. Seeing the enemy mass,
ing in the wood to take Green's Battery,
Meigs ordered Colonel Mathewson to
move quickly with his regiment to the
support of the battery. The movement
was promptly executed by the First
California, and then two other regi-
ments were brought up, ! think the
Thirty-first and Thirty-second New
York. Later in the day the youthful
General, seeing the field was lost, said
to Colonel Mathewson; you had
