Recent Discoveries at Pompeil.

Hampered continually by thestrained condition of its budget, the Italian Government is carrying on excavations at Pompeii, and this locality remains an inexhaustible field of discovery. Under the direction of Signer Oozza, 1 engineer m charge of the excavations, says a London letter, a noble Roman mansion has been discovered lately, the decorations and furniture of which are m a perfect state of preservation. This house was a veiy important one. It occupied a whole isola, or cily block, m the northern part of the town. The inside yard, as was customary, win a rectangular shape, very Urge, and surrounded on its four sides by » portico supported by eighteen Corin thian columns. Between these column* were found nine white marble vasques, four tables resting on a base decorated with chimera's legs, and nine statuettes of Baccuuß, fauns and cupida. The walls, painted black and red, are decorated at the top with a nearly intact cornice, richly ornamented. The different rooms, which open on the atrium, are embellished with frescoes of the highest interest. On the walls of the main hall is a frieze outstretch ing with the most exquisite taste 'and spirited execution. It represents scenes of every-day life, with winged cupids as performers. Many subjects of similar style have already been found m Pompeii, but none so well preserved and of such delicate refinement. , One of these scenes represents a " wreath shop :" on one side the mak ing, on the other sida the sale of the wreaths is figured. Further is a ** fuller's workroom." Two women are treading on the cloth, which is lying m a large bucket ; a little further are teen two cupids stretching the wet cloth on a drying loom. Another cupid shows to the forewoman the work to do. At the right of this composition, and ending it, are two women folding the dry cloth which has been brought to them. •. A " goldsmith's shop " is not less interesting, A cupid ia at the desk weighing on a scale a jewel which a rich lady customer, seated facing him, has jast selected ; while other cupids are hammering on a delicate anvil silver" arid gold objects. Next is a "chariot race."v This fresco gives a wonderful idea of the circus per formances. Standing on their narrow chariot, drawn by antelopes, are four drivers. Dressed with colored vests, like our modern jockeys, they are pressing their speedy teams and striving with desperation. Besides the graceful frieze mentioned above, three separate fresco panels constitute the main decoration. Their dimen sions are about a square metre, that is to say, a surface of about ten square feet. They represent various episodes of the Theban legendary history. The first one shows the infant Her cules smothering ' the snakes which' Juno m her jealous anger has sent against him. This episode appears on a beautiful coin of Orotona, and is well known to those familia? with the medallic history of the American Revolutionary period. Taking his in spiration from the antique, Benjamin franklin caused a medal to be struck at the Paris Mint on which Young America is personified by the child hero m his cradle strangling the two serpents. Toe 3« Bnake.B represent Burgoyne's and Cornwallis' armies. On the reverse of the. said medal are the dates of their annihilation, coupled with the glorious names of Saratoga and Yorktown. In tho Pomp'jiiH.n fresco Jupiter is seated on a throne and contemplating with a radiant smile the infant hero's exploit, while Alcmerm, his mother, hidden behind the god, follows with semi-anguished, semi-admiring eyes the progress of the struggle. The idea of the infant Hercules strangling two SPrpentS IS symbolical of the victory of light over darkness, of good over evil, and of free and united Hellas over barbarism and tyranny. This painting is particularly interesting, as it may be a copy of the famous composition by Znnxis, men tioned by PJiny. In the second picture Amphion and Zethus are represented taking revenge on Dirce, who, after causing their mother, Antiope, to be repudiated, by their father,*Lycus, married him ia her stead. They are m the act of tying her to the tail of a wild bull. The slaying of Penthea is painted on the last panel. Incensed by Dionysos, whose worship this King had pro scribed m his dominions, the mother and sisters of Penthea have joined the Bacchantes. They have caught the unfortunate while he is watching them, and, intoxicated with mad frenzy, they kill him with their thryses. Generally all the pictures of impor tance exhumed at Pompeii are trans ferred to Naples, but an exception has been made m favor of the newly dis covered frescoes. They can be admired at the site of of their finding.

FERBIMAN. | The Portable Swing Water Barrow. Prevention is Better Than Cure -j TBE few cases of Typhoid m Ashburton Borough *pd Suburbs afford no [ ground fora "scare," but it is only by using reasonable precautions t that the dread scourge can be kept within bounds. In ?iew of the subject ' beiDg referred to m Ihe public journals, it may be of service to reprint an extract < from »n issue of the "Nineteenth Century" of last year> m which special reference is made to Diphtheria, but which applies with equal force to Typhoid. The writer remarks, that the latest epidemics! m Russia swept away nearly ( all the children m some villages ; and m Prussia, no ' less than one-sixth to  one-fourth part of all children dying m the age of from one to five jears sue- ; cumbed to Diphtheria, and the same proportion prevailed m Western Europe as well. Keen interest is being taken m the experiments of the French Doctors, Roux and Tersen ; but Diphtheria, like Anthrax, Cholera, Typhoid, Malaria, and other kindred complaints is due to an infection of the body by epecial bacteria, caused by the effluvia rising from drains; back yards and . ; premises generally, into and upon which dairy and kitchen slops have been . , tbrown. Without an infection by bacteria or 6he poisons which they secrete, there is no diphtheria. The Portable Wash Barrow, is just the one thing indispensable m the direction of perfect sanitary arrangements. By its use, a two-fold benefit is derived. Ihe fever and diphtheria breeding agencies are removed, and what is otherwise a ' source of terror becomes an: absolute gain, by conveying the wash to pig trough or to tbe garden. The Portable Barrows can be put to yarions kinds of use, and they are so admirably con- structed that, with them, a child can do work which otherwise requires the strength of mature years. The cost is comparatively small. .Possession ot one becomes an absolute means of sweetness, comfort and profit.
