THE TABLES VERE TURNED.
.r;
" Ji0$oTerlcs at Treves. .
The excavations that have been going
on for months past on a plot of ground
belonging to Herr Schabb, a manufac
turer at Treves, have resulted in the
discovery of a Boman private house,
vhich will excite tbe interest of sntl
quaries almost as much as the famous
public buildings at Augusta Txevirornin.
Tto tront of the bouse lies parallel with
the principal street cf the old Boman
- titj. A number cf blocks which served
g pedestals : for the wooden or stone
pillars of a portico still remain. Tbe
entrance is -distinctly recognizable be
tween two buttresses and an immense
heap of stones. A Ions entrance hall
running right through the house from
front to back is intersected by another
corridor, so tbat the gigantic building
is divided into four parts. Side corridors
lead into the rooms. Of these the mar
ble tessellated bathrooms for hot and
cold water and warm air lie side by side
and deserve special mention. The two
latter were snoplied with warm air
through 6ubteanean passages. Tbe es
cape cf the enfoke waa effected by means
. of hollow tiles laid on one another. The
fonthwestern roomB have cellars under
. them. In a ligbt court in the same part
cf the house there is a well preserved
window, the first ever found in a Ro-
iuan building.1 , -
The most interesting thing, however.
j is the magnificent and richly colored
j -losaic floor, rarity of the first order.
! Experts assipn the building to the first
half of the fourth century, when Ao

Fulfillment of Kuntll'l Predictions.
Nearly everything Nanseu predicted
about his journey has come true. Ho
said ho expected to cross the unknown
polar area, aad be has done it He fore
told exactly the general direction in
which bis ship would drift while fast
in the ice, but t is not certain that be
correctly assigned tho cause of this
drift. Nausea invented the model
of the Pram, making bcr hall round and
slippery lilie an eel. with no corners or
sharp edgesV for the ice to seize upon.
Slio is the strongest vessel ever used in
arctic exploration, tie said that pressure
would simply lift her on the ice, and so
her bottom. Dear tbe keeL waa made al-
most flat, in order tbat ehe might not
capsize while on tbe ice surface, and
her screw and rudder were also ingen
iously protected. The many experts who
aid her design would not save thp Fran)
from instant destruction, were mistaken,
for she met these resistless ice pressures.
and they merely lifted her oat of her
cradle, and she rested safely on tbe sur
face, . ,
Nanseq said that, owing to the prob
able predominance of water 'in tbe far
north, be expected to find there higher
temperatures than along tbe north coast
ofAsia. This remarkable prediction baa
been fulfilled. Tbe lowest temperature
observed on the Fram was 61 degrees
F., while farther south, in the Kara sea.
63 degrees, and at tbe mouth of the Lena
river 94 degrees have been registered.

At this moment appears a genUemaa
whom all Paris knows and almost all

Barccy. Knowing himself to be among
friends, be talked freely. For half a
eentury nearly our great critic has held
tbe pen, at first timidly, and now be
wields it with unquestioned authority.
Like moat Parisian celebrities, be was
born in the provinces, at Oourdan,
.where his father kept a school after the
fall of the first Napoleon dissolved the
army in which the elder Sarcey had in
sisted on enlisting in spite of his excess

took bis Cight for Parts and walked
firmly in tbe footprint of the late J ales
Janin, who also devoted his life 'to
dramatio criticism, He makes an idol of
the drama. He lives for his work He re
spectfully considers dramatio criticism
an art and not a trade, and perhaps fox
that reason is the greatest critical an
thority in France.
He told us of his duel with Hectot

stvle insulted by Saiwr, drew lots as tc
who would call him oat and kill him If
possible. The lot fell on Pessard. fcow,
Pessard and Sarcey were great friends,
but it was necessary to bey the call cl
bonor. so Pessard sent tne cnaueng.
which Sarcev accepted with dignity.
The adversaries, took pff tteir coats and
vests and faced each other, swords la
hand, when, lol tbe four seconds took tc
squabbling ovvr some detail. Tha dls
cute was Ions? and ferocious, and the
two adversaries fell into conversation,
word in band.
Quotn Pessard I am frozen. Would

Pessard I don't quite know. U

do not succeed in killing you that yoa
most certainly slay me in expiation.
Sarcey (meditatively) I do npt re
member having insulted you, but if yoa
sav so I suppose it is true,
In the meantime the four seconds
were Quarreling furiously. One gentle
man was shaking his fist in bis oppo
nent's face and another was brandish
inn his riding whip, whereupon Barccy
suddenly burst out laughing and sain:
"Come, rosKara, let us separate ouj

each other's throats, we will fro and
