A sorrowful discovery was made some
years since at Pompeii we'll calculated to
excite the highest sympathy of the feeling
breast. While excavating street the re-
mains of child were found, and a plaster
cast Of the skeleton was obtained by
pouring plaster of paris into hole made
for the purpose. The endeavor was not
quite successful, one leg and part of the
right arm were wanting; yet that obtained
shows the child, with left arm wrapped
iu the toga and the right arm covering its
mouth In order to prevent the breathing of
noxiuus gases. The body was found
close by window, while inside the house
the skeleton of woman was found, who,
to judge by her ornaments, belonged to
wealthy family, and she had her arms ex-
tended toward the child. 1t is rightfully
supposed that the child belonged to her, aud
that she either dropped it in her last
agOnies, or that she placed it outside upon
the streets, to at least try 10 save it. She
wore heavy bracelet on each arm. and
finger-rings with precious engraved jewels;
upon one stone, Mercury, with bag and
staff, is seated upon a rock; the other is an
intagliO representing a cnruucOpia.

PHILADELPHIA, March 13.-A reporter
talked with Mr.. Claus Spreckels about the
absorption of the Franklin refinery BIZ the
sugar trust "Jf - IumoT proves true,
Spreckels said. " it means that all the sugar
interests OF this country are combined
against me. This the public believes will
narrow the competition down to its lowest
limit, but there never was greater mistake
made by consumers. The trust, even ii it
owned every refinery In the land and had
not the opposition which will come from
factories, would meet with The bitterest
kind Of competition from foreign countries.
The Mckinley tariff bill provides for this,
and sugar monopoly is as impossible as
are most other monop0lies talked OF and
written about so frequently"
