A Cave of Tortures.

An interesting discovery has been
made at the Island of Capri, in the
shape of an underground vault in
which the Emperor Tiberius used to
confne the victims of his displeasure
prior to their being thrown into the
sea. The walls are covered with In
scriptions, some of which go to show
that among those immured subse'
quently in the prison were the sister
and wife of the Emperor Commodus.

ZOiR's Modesty.

At the celebration in the Pantheon
recently all the celebrities of France
were present, of course, and equally as
q matter of course were bedizened

King Edward Loves Pomp.

No ruler in the world can surpass
the splendor of Edward Wis public
app arance. BY this time Londoners
are familiar with the maSnificence OF
the state opening of parliament and
the brilliance III the levees held by the
king. Twice his majesty has opened
parliament in person and twice he has

A Fair OuegtiOn.

A young clergyman, just ordained,
was invited to address the Sunday
school pupils of church where he
was a visitor, and, facing the expect
