Trajan's Floating Palace.

Marcus Ulpius Nerva Trajanus. the Ira
jan of Roman biography, and one of
Rome smost renowned emperors, construct
ed or was responsible for the construction
of three of the most remarkable works of
the early years of the Christian era-Tra-
JAMS column, Trajan's wall and Trajan's
floating palace. History is full of accounts
concerning the two former, but the last
seems to have been pretty generally over
looked by the early well as the later
cleaners of rare and curious information.
The monk Bartemius, who mentions it in
his "EcclesiaSta,' says that it was con
structed and pUrposely sunken in Lake
Nemi. an arch tunnel allowing communca-
ton with the shore. In this case it would
certainly have gone into history Ira
jams sunken palace" instead of floating
palace"
1t is generally believed, Bartemius to the
contrary, that 1t was originally an imperial
palace, intended for the use of the emperor
and his family during their summer eXcur-
sions on Lake Nemi Another faction of
antiquarians are of the opinion that it was
not built during the lifetime of Trajan.
Southwick says that 1t was sunk in the
year 1875 y. D., as years after the death of
the emperor for which it was named.

The Drapinc, of classic MARBLES.

The matrons of Chicago who insist that
the Hebe of the new lake front fountain
shall be draped may be gratified to know
that they are supported in the propriety of
their feeling by the antique world The
Greeks draped the figures of women and
goddesses The only exception to this rule
was Venus, and at the best period OF Greek
sculpture the figure of Venus was draped
Who will compare the Venus of Melos il,
the Louvre with the simpering affectatior
of the narrow chested Venus di Medici in
Florence-the one representing the glory of
Greek art, the other the work of the I'M
known Cleomenes at n later and inferior
artistic period? Nor is the Venus of Melos
the only Venus clothed. The Venus Gent
triX is a draped goddess, as is the Venus of
PraXiteles Even the Venus of the Bath is
as modest as q schoolgirl. No other god
dess would be seen without her skirts The
Diana of the Capitol, the Diana of the
Louvre, the Juno the Amazon of the Capt.

An unclothed Minerva cannot be con-
ceived To the Minerva of the Parthenon
it was the custom of the Greek maidens to
carry each spring and offer with ceremo-
mics n gorgeous peplum, which shows their
feeling as to the propriety of fresh Easter

draped. In the beautiful group of the Fates,

ABOUT THE BIRD LAW.

THE GLOBE has been requested by sew
eral gentlemen of this city who love to
hunt birds, and who in turn love to eat
them, to request Hon. FRANK FULLER to
feel the pulse of the legislature and see if
it is not possible to pass law making it
illegal to shoot birds in but one month of
the year instead of three months as the
law now stands.
They tell us that unless something is
done, and done soon, it can be but little
while until all our quails are gone. Tie
unmerciful yet legal slaughter of the
past year, together with the extremely
cold winter, has just about eXterminated
them.
Mr.. FULLER could do good turn by
looking into this matter and getting bill
through the house-at least the birds and
sportsmen would appreciate it.
This measure is urged, ,-of course, by
those who keep valuable dogs and guns,
and who see in the "chase" some sport,
and will be opposed by those who catch
and kill birds for. the few dimes which
may be in it.

WHAT Is NEEDED.

What Durham needs, and badly, is a
building inspector-a city official who
will see to it that some of these shells of
houses are not tolerated.
Business men who rent a house and
place their goods under the roof, do not
anticipate a flood, but large number
have gotten the flood upon top of their
goods.
This thing of greedy landlords erecting
sheds which would drown a musk rat
were he under the roofs and then charg-
ing exorbitant prices for the buildings
should be prohibited.
There have been many evidences of
what cheap and slipshod work will do,
for the man who rents, within the past
few days.
Give architects and builders a chance,
and choke off these dollar-a- day men to
the builder-but twenty dollars day
men to the man who rents.

1t is all right for the editor of Once A

yell that township overseers and road

but the theory will not admit of practice
Suppose the case:
A road commissioner can come along

charge up the expense to some poor

may have some note or other Obligation

The most abominable and vicious sys-

of convict labor to compete with honest

North Carolina boasts that the con-
victs have made the state little money.
Well and good. But it is not mentioned
that the convicts have made those who
gave them employment much more
money.
Put convicts on the road, let counties
take and guard so many the year round
pay their board by common and equal
tax, and there will no longer be any
question about the public roads.

THE PENSION FRAUDS.

THE GLOBE has been in the fight for
| some time in the matter of adjusting the
pension frauds. 1t has honestly and, as
it believed and vet believes, conscien-
| tiously branded the present pension sys-
tenn as fraudulent, vicious and dishonor-
able. We believe that two thirds of the
pensioners to day are bummers and
thieves and sneaks and camp-followers
and coffee coolers.
For the information of COLONEL
Morning Advertiser, we desire to tell
him frankly that we believe what we
say, and then, in the same frank manner,
ask and answer him a few questions, as
follow:
Who left the yellow faced negro at the
South?
The Yankees in the soldier uniform
who followed in the wake of war, who
never smelled real powder, and who to-
day draw pension from the treasury of
this common country.

The Yankees in their soldier uniform
who followed in the wake of war, who
never smelled real powder, and who to
day draw pension from the treasury of
this common country.
Who stole their little keep sakes which
mothers, with tear-stained cheeks and
ear-dimmed eyes, were defending?
The Yankees in their soldier uniform
who followed in the wake of war, who
never smelled real powder, and who to-
day draw pension from the treasury of
this common country.
Who robbed the shelled and shattered
boys in gray who were lying dead upon
the field of battle-and with stolen indigo
dyed the uniforms blue and wore them
in defiance of decency-as to-day in de-
tiance of right, they draw a pension?
The Yankees in their soldier uniform
who followed in the wake of war, who
never smelled real powder, and who to-
day draw a pension from the treasury of
this common country
These are but few questions and
few answers-yet they serve to show that
you are bowling and whooping alone on
a sentimental line when you come to the
rescue Of the damned and damnable pen
sion system.
You may talk about orphans and about
Mexican war mendicants, yet the blue
jacket Yankees raid on the national
treasury is rank and rotten-and rotten
ripe, and GROVER CLEVELAND, the brave
Buffalo boy who once slapped the lousy
beggars in the face, will do the same
graceful and gracious act again.
