"a Find" at Pompeii.
From the London Chronicle.

Pompeii is still yielding remarkable
finds" The latest. unearthed near
Porta Nolano. Is a mans perfectly pre-
served skeleton. BY its bony hand lay a
little bag of coarse cloth. containing fifty
ancient coins, uninjured by 1,S3D years of
burial. The coins are nearly all of sill
yer and beautifully minted: nothing like
them is produced by the scientific appli-
ances of today. The skeletons posture
proves that the living man. fleeing with
his money. was overwhelmed by the lava
and mud from Vesuvius. The place where
the skeleton was excavated is a new field
for exploration and other important dis
coveries are expected there. But the fruits
of DR.. Waldstein's new explorations at
Herculaneum are awaited with even
greater Impotence. for Hercul; neum is
incomparably richer In art treasures than

and also to preserve its purity. Tho
sounds are collected by the horn before
they emerge from the violin. and are
emitted in an even. smooth tone-not
ragged nor disconnected. is often the
case with the ordinary violin. AS with

volume of the notes many times. Tho

they were hopeful of the ultimate re-
turn OF the old brisk days and a re-
vival of racing interest at Brighton.
