ALBANY WEEKLY HREALD: SATURDAY, OCTOBER i, 1892,
Recently llllcoTcml ?Ir»l nil lone.
Lover* of literature will bo interested
in thB recent discovery in 11 sumlMionso
ot the buried city of Pompeii of two me- 1
dnllious representing respectively Hor
ace and Virgil. The death of Horace
occurred eight years before the Chris
tian era aud that of Virgil ten years
earlier, while the date of the deHtrnc-
(tion of Potniwii by the eruption of Vesu
vius is A. D. 79.
Heuce the portraits nro not enntem-
ftorary, though they cannot bo plnced
1 •ery long after the age of the poets.
_S.it although they ure in that res)S>ct
{only fancy portraits, M. Gaston Boia-
dcr has pointed out to the French Acntl-
emie des Inscriptions that they have n
distinct resemblance to the miniatures
of Horace and Virgil given in the manu
scripts of the Twelfth and Thirteenth
centuries.
j The Pontjieiian medallions are only of
a very mediocro character when regard-
ltd solely from an artistic standpoint,
j This very fact strengthens the idea of a
: continuous artistic tradition as to the
.bodily presentment of the two poets.
Tile Pompeiian artist and the monastic
Uribe could have had 110 direct connec
tion! but they may easily lmvo derived
their figures front a common source.
Another point of interest is to sen the
liar criticism within less than a
itury after their death, linking to-
itlicr Hori cu and Virgil. IIow endur-
_ their fame is may bo realized if wo
■emonilter that now, after the lapse of
lineteen CCnturics, they have more
• coders anil admirers than at any pre-
;■ eding period. It is to be feared that
Iswof till) literary reputations of modern
goa will withstand so successfully "the

Vo Revolutionize Trotting.
A well known Hunt;: llosa horseman
i-'J ns a scheme for trotting horses which
11“ remises to Itoat the "scoot" track all to
eces as an imiiortant factor in aiding
horse to obtain a fast record. lie is
i mining a sulky that will not only run
; self, but will push the horse along a
- jt too. He says it is to bo built on the
tut of the watch. It will have big coil
.tings to tlrivo the wheels and lie cun-
ads that it will revolutionize trotting,
ght under tho driver's sout the springs
11 lie located, and it Is his intention to
ye things ao nicely ndjustud that
ton he wishes to go a 2:10 gait all he
11 have'to do is to set it at the 2:10
ure and it will do tho rest. When
1 mnd up the sulky will run one mile
d * half. A very clever feature of
I Jy simply touching a llttto spring near
Stirrup the driver can muko the
eels wind np the spring, and,'by a
ad devico, ho can throw them out
gear when the indicator tells him
.t the spring has been wound np to
proper tension. Thus in scoring
atever power is lost can bo rogalnod.
1 it is so arranged thnt the power can
fumed on at will by the driver. Tho
itleman claims everything for this in-
1 tion. He says it will transform the
'vest scrub iuto a world beater and
co a three minute horse able to go a
>4 record. The inventor apparently
, nothing green in his eyes when ho
' talking about his wonderful sulky,
