The detail With which Mr.. Castaigne
mas, as 1t were, restored" the life
of the Roman legions along the
Great Wall In the north of England.
IS nothing short OF astounding. To
fesurrect an old world at all salts
factorily, presupposes an immense
amount of study. buy for this special
period there 10 tho veriest crumb of
suggestion to be had from anywhere.
Yet Mr.. Castaigne has made Par

pie tPicts) live again. You look
down into the squalid town with its
matched rooted houses. its queer
butcher shops. its temples, its crowds
of soldiers, bakers, skin-clad bar
bariars, budding In the shadow of
the Great Wall and get a real i'm
preston of what must have been.
Or you see Parnesius taking part in
the bloody sacrifice of bull and are
given all the pomp and detail OF the
ceremonies. Or again you see En-
peror Maximus being carried through
the street and the riotous warriors
mobbing him in the narrow street
while the women and children look
on from windows above. In other

lions that Illustrate where the task

OLD PAPERS.

People who have an idea OF the
large number Of newspapers that find
their way to an Office like that OF The
Enquirer as exchanges and otherwise
frequently express curiosity as to what
becomes Of them; but II they should
be about the office for little while at
this season of the year, their curiosity
would be quickly satisfied.
The papers are used in various
ways: but most of them are sold.
Twice a week, each Tuesday and
Friday afternoon, all the papers not
otherwise disposed of are wrapped IN
rolls weighing from "a to 3 pounds
each and laid aside for sale at cents
a roll. There is a steady demand for
these bundles all through the year, al
most sufficiently to consume the sup
ply and therefore there Is no effort TO
push sales. The demand comes prin-
cipally from the butchers and fish
dealers; but the papers are purchased
by numerous other people for various
other purposes.
The stock OF old papers accumulates
slowly all through the year, until
along about this season when there
are usually from seventy-five to a
hundred extra rolls and now develops
a, demand that is interesting as 1t Is
unique. This demand comes from ne
groes who buy the rolls with which to
paper their houses.
There were probably seventy-five
rolls of paper on hand a week ago, and
at the present time there are less than
a dozen. The negroes have been flock
ing in from all quarters most Of them
taking a single roll for five cents. 9TH
ers buying two or three rolls. Within
day or two more the supply will be
exhausted, and the demand will be
greater than ever.
Among these customers there are
some amusing characters. One day
