These appointments are the demo-
Gratis funeral; and the members ofthat

nor Winans as we do, The Tribune is
not surprised at the character of the
list. The one satisfaction Is that they
are limited In their squanderings to
100000. That is something to be
thankful for. And as Michigan was
sure to be misrepresented by Govern
or Winans' choice, he could not have
made selections which would more

The New York Ecening Post unwit-
tingly gives away the free trade case
by saying that II we had ships we
could not run them. "for the wages
on American vessels are just double
what they are on European vesseIs.-
The same fact would apply to other
enterprises if it were not for the tariff
either wages would have to come down

The Roman Emperors at Capri.

Augustus Caesar built a villa at
Capri, to which he occasionally retired
when weary of the cares of the empire.
But the name of all Others which is
most intimately connected with Capri
is that of the Infamous Tiberius. So
deep an impress has the tyrant leftupon
the island that after the lapse of
eighteen centuries his name is still
familiar to the inhabitants, who even
call their children after him. The
] word, however, is usually corrupted in
to Tmber;o. Tiberius built twelve
palaces on various parts of the island.
These he named after the twelve par
ticuiar divinities whose favor he most
desired. Suetonius gives lis Won
derful account of the splendors Of these
edifices, their marble walls and columns,
and the feasts and orgies that they saw
Mangoni has given the larger part of
a volume to the scenes enacted upon
the island during the tyrant:s long
soiourG; but many of the chapters are
filled with stories either too disgusting
OF too terrible to read.
After the death of Tihel.ii:s the Sen
ate ordered his palaces to be destroyed,
and this accounts for the ruined con-
dition Of edifices that might have ex-
celleG in stability and grandeur any of
the ancient palaces. which still stand
upon TIE neighboring mainland. OF
each of the villas, as they are called,
traces still remain; but the ruins which
are most worthy of a visit are those of
the great Villa of JoEe, located OH the
eastern extremity OF the island. and on
a height which commands a view of the
mainland, OF the island itself and Of
the beautiful bay for miles about. OF
tie extensive edilice wherein Tiberius
held his famous orgies, and where he
held the tribunals which nearly always
ended in the condemnation Gf his vie
Tins, little remains now save a num-
Der Of vautted chambers, the use OF
which can only be guessed at. Some
of them have been converted into COW
stables, aad patient kline find them
selves sheltered in halls where an
emperor once dweit. On the highest
point OF the mountain is a little chapel
called Santa Maria del Soccorso, and
here an old hermit invites tie visitor to
inseribe his name upon the regis ser,
while :, printed sign i'll French, Engi:s
and German requests him to eaTe a
small sum for the benefit of this ua.'d
ian Of the height. From the ch tpei it
is but Il moments walk to what's cali~':
the Salto of Tiberius. This is point
near an ancient beacon-light, where
according to tradition, the tyrant had
the victims who had been condemned to
death thrown down upon the rocks be
low. whence their mangled bodies were
dragged into the sea by soldiers armed
with iron picks. 1t was this beacon
light that gave the augury of the death
of Tiberius. During his illness por-
ton Of the tower fell, and sccrs fore
told the death of the Emperor of Rome.
