A Relic of POmpeii.

Outside of the Pora Stabiaua at Pom
pei, in a stratum of cinders have iu
been found the impressions of three bod.
les ard n tree. Casts taken of them
show the bodies to have been those OF
two men and a woman. One of the men
wNs in n kneeling position and the other
stretched fiat on his back. The woman
lay face downward with her arms
stretched out. The tree, OF which casts
OF foliage and fruit, as we'll as of the
trunk, were obtained, was of the species
Taurus Nobilis, known to have pro.
duccd n und.shapcd fruit that ripened
toward the end OF autumn, and. from
the form and size of the fruit, it was
evidently ripc when the tree was buried
which goes to confirm the theory that
the great catastrophe took place in No.

August, as has been supposed.

The City Of Paris is all but u wreck, and

knots per hour, all explosion occurred in
the starboard engine room, blowing out the
bulkhead partitions, breaking the water
pipe connections, and all but
f9undeiing the most stanchly built
OF the American liners. TIE
tires IN both engine rooms were put out, ard
only the most strenuous abors at the pumps
saved the magnificent ship from sinking.
By wonderful luck no lives were lost, but
the passengers of the City of Paris have had
AN experience exceeding in excitement and
danger that on the ill-fated Oregon.
Agent Cumnins furnished the following
meagre bulletin from Capt. Watson: The
City of Paris on Tuesday, the 18th inst, AT
$50 p. m, was PIG miles west OF Fastnct
rock, when the starboard engine broke down
from an unknown cause, and the cylinder
went to pieces, iDjuring the bulkhead and
breaking the injection and water pipe con
nectons, allowing u considerable Quantity
81 water to flow into both engine rooms and
the adjacent section. No one on board was
