AN ANCIENT LAWSUIT,

just before Richmond was evac-
uated BY the Confederate govern.
ment, the authorities ordered that
all the liquors in the city be poured
into the streets, for fear that the
soldiers on either side might be-
come drunk and great distress
might follow. The uarrels were
knocked in and the streets flowed
with old Bourbon whiskey. A suit
was afterwards brought against the
stale for this destruction of private
and has recently been
decided in favor of the state, show
ing that the state had right to
thus prntect its inhabitants.

Pompsiian Business Notes.

A number of business announcements
are to be found at Pompeii, that brisk
little city to whose daily life the energy
Of Vesuvius has lent kind Of immor-
tality. Here we get large number Of
miscellaneous inscriptions dealing with
matters of daily life, announcements Of
forthcoming gladiatorial games, edicts
of magistrates, wine sellers attempts to
captivate customers, rewards for lost or
stolen property, houses for sale or to be
let and other things of that sort.
We learn from one announcement
that glass Of wine could be got for /
as--about farthings-while for asses
one could drink real Falernian. Another
inscription informs us that a denarius
about ~ pence-was paid for wash
ing a tunic. and the date, the 18th Of
April, is iscarefully recorded by the writ
er. Whether she was the laundress or
the owner of the tunic must be left nn-
decided, but it seems at least that she
was in the habit of marking up her
washing account on the walls of her
house.
There are several such inscriptions on
the same wall of this particular house,
all dated-the Goth of April, a tunic
and pailinm; on the 7th Of May. an ar
tiele which need not be particularized,
while on the day following two tunics

rratmsnt Of tho Feat.

from him concerning the treatment for
heated. tired feet after walking or stand

He says, truly enough, that authori-
ties eifer as TO the value of the various
foot baths. ''Hot water enlarpes the
feet by drawing the blood TO them.
When used, they should be rubbed or
exercised before attempting to put on a
tight boot. Mustard and hot water in q
foot bath will cure a nervous headache
and induce sleep. Bunions and corns
and callousness are natures protestations
against bad shoe leather. Two hot foot
baths a week and a little pedicuring will
remove the cause of much discomfort.
"a warm bath, with an ounce Of sea
salt, is almost as restful as q nap. Pad
die in the water until it cools, dry with
3 rough towel, put on fresh stockings,
make change of shoes, and the person
who was ready to drop will then be
ready to stand up. But the quickest re.

Death lurked within the velvet of her cheek,
And in the myriad tangfes of her hair,
And in her eyes, which drew men to despair,
And on her lips, whose thrill made strong men

Yea, all the honcyed accents she could speak
To men death laden We're, as, unaware,
Thoughtless, they listened, needing not the
snare
Which caught their manhood in wild passions
