Dobrouteha, the Danubian district which, during the . WC. f rare Crimean war, obtained a melancholy celebrity. Under WAX LIGHTS. the Roman ompire the provinces of Upper and Lower Mesia, now the United Danubian Principalities, were Gtkanized on a military footing, as being. the outposts destined to protect the empire from the inroads of tho barbarians. Each province was defended by two legions. ‘The camps of these forces, which were often engaged in Rate of taxation, six per cent.

It was thus towns and villages sprang up, and the Latin element was so firmly implanted there that to this day the country retains the name of Roumania, and a dialect which is a distinct offshoot of the tongue of Horace and Virgil. M. Engelhardt, the French Commissioner for the navigation of the Danube, residing at Galatz, has sent the inscriptions above ailuded to to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, They were discovered on the site of the ancient city of Treesmis, the ruins of which still exist at the northern extremity of the Dobroutsha. This town had a Senate of decuriones, from which the decemvirs intrusted with the local administration were chosen. Most of the inscriptions are of the reigns of the Antonines; another belongs to that of Philip, and ‘one is posterior to Constantine. They cast considerable light on the career of several of the most distinguished generals of the Romans, such as Avidius Cassius, for mstance, who sibsequently usurped the purple. Nearly all the bricks of the locality bear the mark of the fifth Macedonic Legion, 1eG, v, mac. This legion was fol- lowed by the first Italic one under Marcus Aurelius, and js also mentioned in several of the inscriptions alluded to. A STATUF OF POTIPHAN’S WIFE. : Archwological discoveries are very numerous in the Old World at present. An Italian collector, returning from Egypt, has brought, back the statne of no less a per- than Potiphar’s wife. An inscription on the base leaves no doubt as to its authenticity. The features are said to be exceedingly, ugly, or “plain, \’ whichever term we may wish to use when speaking of the deceased lady.

The members of the British Archwological Association have been in session in London. Ph were ex hibited of incised characters on an oak lintel ip the manor keep at Hexham, together with an alleged trans- lation. The gentleman who exhibited the. photographs described the inscription as ‘Anglo-Saxon just pase- ing into semi-Saxon,”’ and he stated that “the first enx lines seem t ave been a short penitential chant, re- cited perhaps by the officiating eectesiastic and by female risoners accused of dark crimes.’’ Mr. Thomas Wright, jowever, dispe assumed trans}, evidently not Auglo-S judge from the photo; the names of differe ed the illusion, and threw ridicule on the He said that the characters were n, and that. so far as be could h, the writing consisted only of ividnals which bad been cot in the wood. Rev. E.

THE MANIFESTATIONS PRONOUNCED ALL BUMBU@ BY ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL MEDIUMS. Mr. E. A. Sothern, the actor, publishes In the Scoteh papers the following revelations of his experience ag @ spiritual medium in New York :— There is an article in the Spiritual Magazine in which Iam referred to. I should not dream of moticing any article in any such publication, had I not found respect- able and rational journals such as yours reproducing statements affecting my credit and candor. 1 consider it due to the conductors of the daily press of these coun- tries, aswell as to myself, to notice remarks on me and on my conduct when I find them transferred to their columns. Had they not been excavated from the gloomy obscurity of their original source they might never ha attratted my obe*rvation, and certainly would never have obtained my notice, Possibly it may be thought that I am doing thie wpirit- ual publication a service by bringing it into notice. 1 do not think so. When you prosecute a pickpotket you go before the bench as @ matter of public duty ; the pick- pocket is certainly brought into public prominence for the time, but it isonly that he may be the more effecta- ally recognized, punished and exposed.
