Cottchtsion ors Visit to the Catacombs
oft PIC Sebastian sad C. CLOAKMS.
Parrs, April 1868.—My friend, the Mexican
lady, an old monk and myself, were slowly
moving along the narrow passages of the tombs
of F.°. Sebastian, tar under ground, when I closed
my last. Just at that rather uncomfortable pe
riod when our tapers were t onsiderably dimin
ished, the old man apparently tired and tottering,
my friend impatient to reach the upper air, and
construing the shadows cast on every tomb and
and into every dark recess into some unnatural
presence, Madame whispered, "Suppose this old
man should net be a monk, and would take a
notion to kill and rob us !" " 'Tis the last feather
that breaks the camel's back." Nothing could
more effectually have recalled me to common
ecnse than that absurd remark. It dispelled all
fears, and we explored the chapels, puzzled over
the indent inscriptions beautifully lettered on
the walls, altars and slabs of tombs, and at last
began to ascend the stairway towards the day
light, just in time to save a few inches of the
tapers that had revealed to us but a emallportion
of & the resting places where els millions of the
dead are interred.
A few days later we joined a party of sixteen,
headed by Dr. Smith, a Roman Catholic clergy
man and President cf the Propaganda, or col
lege for the education of young priests` as -tills
sienaries. His explanations of the curious tombs
and inscriptions we met at every turn In the
catacombs of St: Calixtus were extremely inter
esting, but our old friend, the monk of St. Sebas
tian, in one hour rambled through miles of pas
sages and allowed us to see with our own eyes
what Dr. Smith, with so large a party, was
obliged to pass by, and to' draw on his archeeo
logical researches for our edification after we
hod left the catacomb.
When vie left St. Sebastian, our interest having
been awakened in sight-seeing, notwithstanding
our resolution on starting out, we continued on the
Appian Way as far as the tomb of Messalla Cor
vinui, the historian and poet, a friend of Augus
tus and Horace. It is called Casale Rotondo, or
Round Castle, and is so immense that a farm
house and buildings and an olive garden are
placed, on the summit. Nothing can be more
interesting than the sight of these works of the
ancients, built so firmly as to last thousands Of
years, most of them seeming to have yielded not to
the ravages of time, but only when war brought
robbers and ruffians to break, mar and carry
away everything valuable as 'relics of art or his
tory, The Round Tower was erected in the year
11, and near It are pyramidal ruins, one the
Sepulchre of the Metelli, more like a ruined
castle, with the blocks of stone carried away'
from its base, leaving it on a narrow pedestal, '
like a mushroom on its stalk. Near this the wife
of Cicero was buried, and for miles on each side
this once grand avenue leading to Rome,
through which the triumphant armies
marched into the city, there are now
inscriptions half obliterated and bas-reliefs de
sscriptive of scenes in ancient history, marble of
every quality and shade lining the road, while
churches, palaces, temples and monuments by
hundreds are erected and ornamented in Roma
with what has been excavated from the Appian
Way. The Emperor Napoleon proposed to the
Pope a plan to excavate the riches under the bed
of the Tiber, but as turning the river from its
course may cause the Roman fever to slay thou
sands where now but few are victims, the request
has been refused. Three thousand pounds ster
ling have been expended in the excavations of
the Appian Way alone, but the riches
gained are vast beyond calculation. Just as we
reached the Round Tower, at which point the
grandest view of the Campagna, the mountains
of Albano, the ancient aqueduct,circus of Maxi
mus, that might accommodate eight or ten Sani
/aril Fairs, and the villas that crown the seven
hills of Rome, Madame was seized with a desire
to try her skill in exploring for treasures. We
drew up our carriage on the roadside and
alighted on a block of. marble. Selecting a soft,
mossy mound, and taking a pointed stone for a
pick-axe, a considerable quantity of earth was
soon overturned. Just as Madame seemed
somewhat chagrined at my laughter and her
apparently unsuccessful efforts, the stone
struck on a hard surface, and in a moment a
beautiful white cornice of Italian marble ap
peered. The services of cocher were now em
ployed,and after fifteen minutes labor he drew up
on end a cornice, elegantly wrought, in diamond
pattern, twelve feet long 4nd two in width, gra
duating from two to twelve inches in thickness.
Standing it on end, Madame wrote her name, the
date of the excavation and her benediction on her
trophy : and declared she was enchanted at the
idea of contributing a block of marble towards
the erection of another church in the dominions
of the rope.
On our way home we called at the studio of
Bierstadt, the artist, whose "Domes of the Yose
mite" and" Rocky Mountains" are so well known
in America. Ile was engaged on the Immense
painting of Vesuvius, and I was amazed to see
the boldness of design and wonderful effect of
coloring with which this difficult subject was ex
ecuted. After leaving Vesuvius with an awful
impression of its terrible power, I stood before
Bierstadt's painting as much affected by the evi
dence ()bum's power of intellect, that can re
ceive and reflect on canvas a picture so true that
every sense was filled with the presence of the
natural volcano, except that of hearing.
On an easel near it was a lovely view
of the Italian' lakes, with their mid
summer haze, green banks, grazing dells and
ice-crowned mountains reflected from light and
shadowy inlets, while the blue central bed of the
lakes shaded into unfathomable depths, inviting
the weary eye to rest, while dreaming on its hid
den recesses, .where eyrens might dwell, and
make this beautiful valley their vestibule to
earth. On the walls were various sketches in
tended for future use, but no other paintings for
public inspection. On our arrival at homeove
compared notes, and all concluded that though
we set out with different purposes, Madame and
I had in the end—like the tortoise in the fable—
won the day. E. D. W.
THEATRES. Etc:
Ma. ROBERT CRAIG had a benefit on Saturday
evening at the Arch Street Theatre, which was
excessively crowded, and so it would have been
had there been twice the room there was. The
first piece was Brougham's Irish Emig rani , in
which Mr. Craig appeared for the, first tame as
"O'Bryan." It was a perfect personation. No
one that has appeared since Power's time could
give a better representation of an Irishman. In
look, brogue and action, both in comic and se
rious situations, Mr. Craig was moat excellent.
The - second piece was a trifle written by Mr.
Craig, called Lore Made by Mimicry, in
which he gave funny imitations of Clark and
Robson, and a reading of the Trial in
Pickwick in the character of Dickens himself.
This was not a burlesque: it was simply a perfect
Imitation. Mr. Craig's make-up was so good,
.and he imitated Mr. Dickens's voice and intona
tion so exactly in the narrative parts. that It
was hard to believe that it was not the novelist
himself. In the varied voices. and manners
of the characters he' was oven better than Mr.
Dickens was. When called out at the end of the
piece, Mr. Craig made an excessively ninny
spach, in the manner of Mr. John Brougham,
with some droll bits at the recent extraordl
mar), 'play of Tanykd T !trends. Then followed
3 new burlesque, also • by Mr. Craig, on
Wigiolli fell, in which he personated "Tell,"
I temple his son, Mrs. Thayer his wife, Mrs. Crease
the genius of Columbia, oddly introduced, and
other performerti in good parte. The burlesque
is the best that Mucraig has written. The puns
are profuse and many very good, while the situa
tions are laughable' to an - excruciating degree.
Craig and ono or two others made some more
funny hits at '. Tangled Threads and Light at bast,
which seem to have supplied a stock for ridicule
which the company and the public both enjoy.
William Tell IS, such a eapitalburlesque, that it
will, no doubc, - be often played at the Arch. The
entertainment on Saturday wound up with the
farce of P. P., or the Man and the Tiger. Mr.
Craig has reason to be proud of his success. The
public bad new proof of his varied and remarka
ble talent; and after witnessing such a perform
ance we arc more than ever confirmed in. the
opinion that there is no actor of his age in Amer
ica to compare to him in cleverness, wit and ver
satllity.

THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN-PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, MAY 18, 1868.
RAILWAY ASSAIILT.-it E. D. Taylor, con
ductor or car No. 88,on the Race and Vine Stteets
Railway, was bound over on Friday by'Alderman
Beltler on a charge of committing an outrageous
assault upon a passenger, Mr. B. Hallowell, Jr.
The cone appears to have been .a rosy aggravated
one. The car was greatly overcrowded, princi
pally with women. Mr. Hallowell; in leaning
over to open a window, by request, of a lady,
partly lost his balance, and, In regaining it, inad
vertently pushed against the conductor, who was
very insolent,and open being remonstrated with,
seized Mr. Hallowell, dragged him to the front
platform and kicked bim off the car.
Taylor was promptly arrested and bound ova,
and it is to be hoped that the case will be vigor
ously prosecuted. While there are a very large
number of (UR and obliging conductors on the
street railways, there are not a few who need
summary lessons in decent banners, and this
last case seems to be one of which a good ex
ample may be made. No gentleman will engage
in a street fight with a ear-conductor of this sort,
but it is the duty of all good citizens to see that
the laws are enforced in the ease of such out•
rages as are charged against this conductor.

AT A town in France a young man who was
disappointed in love entered the wine cellar of his em
ployer and knocked in the heads of fifty barrels j of
wine, under the impression that the contents would be
sufficient to drown him. This would indicate to our
mind anything but a state of low spirits. Perhaps if
he had been in the habit of dressing himself after the
manner of those who buy their clothing at Charles
Stokes & Co.'s, under the Continental, he would not
have had to plunge thus into the intoxicating fluid.
