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 I imkcrcd tooth of time."—Manchester luardiau. _ Vo Revolutionize Trotting.

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.
