We drove from Sorrento to Pompeii inall the glory of the sweet spring morning, says a_ writer in the Youths’ Companion, and it was a strange con- trast to go in out of the gay, ever young world, to the museum of Pompeian an- tiquities, through which we passed on our way to the dead city of the dead. In this terrible museum you find eight human bodies, killed in the erup- tion that overwhelmed the city in th year 7 of the christian era, How many millions of the dead have mouldered into dust and been forgotten while these have remained in awful permanence, thus tyrned to stone? ere, too, you find loaves of hread baked on that fatal August morning more than eighteen hundred years ago, and grapes which were ripening in that morning’s sunshine. Dogs and cats, buried with th masters in one dire moment, were here also. r nearly fifteen centuries was the place given ov, undisturbed, to its sad sepulture, and it is only in the present that really important ex tions have bheen made. Scarcely more than a third of the old city has even yet been exhumed, and it is computed that, at the rate the excavations are going on at present, it will be seventy vears be- fore they are completed, though ther no doubt that the world is alread possession of by far the most important part of the old town These ruing are almost our sole source of information as regards the details of ancient domestie life.

The controversy which arose out of the condemnation of the papal descript, which condemnation was resented by Bishop Bona- cum by refusing to admit Patrick Egan to his presence, has drawn a new chumpion into the lists. In the course of the contro- versy in which Mr. Egan and the Democrat of this eity have been engaged, the Democrat has made some very severe criticisms upon conduct and motives, and reflected trongly upon his orthodoxy as a Catholic and cast some doubt upon the un- selfish character of his patriotism, To-day John Fitzgerald comes to the defense of Mr. Egan and publishes in the Democrat the following letter: DearSir: 1t was with feclings of deep regret that I read the attack on the charac Patrick Egan, which apvpeared in torial columns on the 30th ultimo, With Mr, n's views in American politics the Irish Nutional league of America bas nothing whatever to do, and 1o member of the league as such would be justified in interfer- mg between yon and Mr. B Auwer polit issues an ana other member gue has the right of every Ame to associate himself with an) party he may the right to que putriotism of @ brother Irishman because he adopts an ovpo site side in American politics, If Mr, I political views differ from yours an mine, it gives you no justification for ing the moral character of a man name has been identified with the [rish na tional cause from the s home rule movement to the p has held positions in connection the the highest eminence und responsibility.
