 So few details of the original cataStro- phe are to be found in historians, that we can scarcely estimate the actual human suffering which is, after all, almdst the on- ly thing to be considered as misfortune. It is probable that the population of at least, Pompeii, had time to make their escape. A pedlar's pack would contain all the valuables left in Pompeii; and the people had time thus to clear their premis- es, must have been singularly fond of haz- ard, if they staid lingering within the reach of the eruption. But some melancholy evidences remain that allwere not so suc- cessful.

 In one of the last excavations, made by the French, four female skeletons, were found lying together, with their ornaments, bracelets and rings, and with their little hoard of coins in gold and silver. They probably had been suffocated by the sul- phorous vapor. In wine cellar, known by its jars arranged around the wall, male skeleton, supposed to be that of a master by his sealing-ring, was found as if he had perished in the attempt to force the door. In another male skeleton was found with was breaking open. In pris on the skel- tons of men chained to the wall were found. If it were nor like afectation to regret ag- ony that had passed away so long, it might be conceived as paliation of moment, that the vapour of the eruption extinguish- ed life at once, and that these unfortunates perished, not because they were left be- hind ln, the general flight, but were left be- hind because they had perished. ..s::, IT

 A large portion of Pompeii is now un- covered. This was an easy operation, for it's covering was ashes, themselves cov-, cred by vegetable, soil, and that again cov- cred by verdue and vineyards.-Hercula- neum reserves its development for another generation its cover is lavo, solid as rock and that again covered with two villages and royal palace and the whole under the protection of a still surer guard, Nea- politan stupidity, poverty and incidence. The Panorama gives striking coup-d'oei of one of the two great excavations of Pom- pei. The forum, the narrow streets, the little Greek houses, with their remnants of ornamental painting, their corridors and their tesselated floors, ure seen, as they might have been seen, the day before the eruption.-The surrounding landscape has the grandure that the eye looks for in a volcanic country.-Wild hills, fragments of layas, richly broken shores, and in the centre, the most picturesque and sublime of all volcanoes, Vesuvius, thowing up its eternal volumes of smoke to the heavens.
