Exeavating Ancient Theater.

Verona, in Italy, is now completing
the excavation of it's Roman theater, a
work which was begun in 1884. 1t is
built in a semicircle 1t dates from the
time of Augustus Caesar and was Law
ishly decorated with marbles from
Greece, Africa and Asia. The theater
was formed of huge steps of granite
above which were rows of private
boxes, one of which stands in its orig
inal position, in excellent preserva-
ton, and with the name of the owner
carved on it. Above the tiers of pri-
vate boxes rose the places where the
plebians were seated and from where
they looked down on to the stage or
away to the water jousts on the river.

cidents." His defense was taken up by Emile ZUla, the great French author who prayed and suffered ignomy and the loss of that prestige and high esteem in which he was held by the French people. He continued his fight, how ever, until his death. Time, however, and the sober judgement of unbiased minds have worked for the un. doing of the great wrong perpetrated years ago and France has gathered courage to swallow the bitter pill of retraction and the acknowledgement that injustice had been done.
 All this time Dreyfus, the victim, has carried himself with admiral pOise and patience, insisting upon his innocense and declaring his faith that justice, though she travel with ever so leaden a heel, would overtake him at last.
 The announcement of the finding, although causing general surprise at its radical nature, does net provoke any demonstration nor adverse criticism. The same finding a few years ago would have been likely to provoke a riot.

Captain Dreyfus is rehabilitated in the army and will be at once be ad- vanced in his grade. Col.

Captain Dreyfus was charged with treason in having sold army secrets to Germany. The defense satisfied the world at large at the very beginning that the man was innocent. However the prosecution put up a case marked by perjury of the most remarkable character coming from the lips of high officials in the army such as gave the court some warrant for the verdict of guilty. Dreyfus was publicly degraded in the presence of his own command, his sword broken as a part a most im- pressive ceremony and the victim sent to prison to perform hard labor, His case, after the storm somewhat sub sided, was reopened.

A GREAT IRISH PAINTER.
John MuIvany, the Famous Painter
Meets an UntimeIy Death.

The body of John Mulvany, who
painted the famous picture, Clusters
Last Rally" and other battle scenes
and portraits of famous men. was
found in the East River a few days
ago. and the daily papers made as
much of sensation over the sad
event as might be expected. says the
New York Gaelic American.
recently in bad .health, had fallen twice
from vertigo and cut his face badly,
and there can be no doubt that at the
time of his death he was of unsound
mind. II the suicide theory of his
death should be cOrrcct--a matter OF
which there is no evidence-that. and
that alone. would account for It, In the
pockets of his coat were found letters
which identified the body. One of these
in reply to a cOngratulatiOn on his
election, and another from Mr.. Thomas
p. Tuite, of this city. both of whom
were old personal friends. There was
also a Photographic reproduction of
Clusters Last Rally" and some un-
finished verses.
John Mulvany was born in Ireland
about 65 years ago and came to this
country when boy of twelve. AS
a boy he worked around the old Acad-
emy of Design in New York, and finally
studied a little under Prof. Waudes-
ford. The Civil War came on and he
went to the 'front.' where he made
sketches. After the war he saved

than the spring of nature-lnore beau
tiful than any picture created by poet
ic imagination-more beautiful even
than the death of the hero resigning
his life for the benefit of his country,
is the dawning of a new and glorious
era for Germany. That which has been
gradually vanishing from us since the
days of The Hopenstauffen Emperors-
that which is Indispensable to enable
us to fulfil the destiny marked out for
US in the history of the world-that
which alone is wanting to render us
the mightiest of all the nations of the
earth-viz.. the feeling of National
honor we are now about to recover.
For what object have our honored pa
triots been striving? To imbue the
people with the feeling of National
honor
With regard to England's as-good
and-as-cheap policy, Frederick List
writes: Go to fallen Poland, and ask
it's hapless people now whether it is
advisable for Il Nation to buy the IA
brics of a foreign country SO long as
it's native manufacturers are no suffi-
GENTLY strengthened to be able to COM
pete in price and quality with the for
eigners. My object is at all costs to
save Germany from the destruction
which the commercial policy of Eng
land designs for her. On the develop
ment of the German protective system
depends the existence. the indepen-
dence. and the future Of German Ma
tionality."
Frederick List proved to be a true
prophet as to the future of Germany.
The feeling which he succeeded in
arousing in Germany is what we want
to see aroused in Ireland--a love of
Ireland. our country-a pride in Ire
land, our Nation. We have been
slaves for many cepturies. We have
now Il certain amount of freedom. but
we have not vet realized that we have
it. AS friend said to me the other
day, We are like Il dog that has been
accustomed for many years to be tied
when in his kennel. and if by chance
he is in his kennel and united he does
not realize that he is free, but remains
there thinking that his chain is still
fastened to his collar. Lately when at
IL meeting of the General Council of
the County Councils demanded that
we should have sole control of the
funds spent by the Department on ag-
ricultural improvement and technical
Instruction. one member objected that
we could not expect to have control of
the funds obtained from the State. He
forgot that the funds of the Agricul-
tural Department are Irish funds, and
that we, Irishmen, have the right. if not
the power. of every free people to con-
troll our own funds. 1t was proposed
that the following words in my reso-
opinion that the Department itself
should be totally separated from the
English Government, and be nominated
by the General Council of the Irish
County Councils and be answerable to
and under it's control" They were,
however, retained by Il majority of
fourteen to nine. Is it not wonderful
that there should be nine processing
Nationalists out of twenty-threc who
voted against passing such a resolu-
ton?
