Bftfc&TjivfrW? ■ 'v this was the residence of tho father of Tibe rius, who. it is knownj had; a house on this part of the Palatine; and was occupied by tho son after tho father’s death. These subter ranean passages were doubtless used, by the son and his mother for their private inter views. Livia, Tiberius’s mother, wo know, was taken away from her ilrst husband,Tibe rius Claudius Nero, by Augustus, who di vorced his first wife, Scribonia, to marry her. Livia bore her first husband two sons, Tibe rius and Drusus. She had no children by Augustus,hut plotted aiid worked continually, u the coldest blood, to place Tiberius on tho throne. She made way with the grandsons, one after the other. Claudius called her “ Ulysses in petticoats;” and she merited his description, for she was as cunning as wicked. But clever . as Li via was, she could not have carried out her'aim without the aid of Tiberius. Her constant plots must have required frequent private consultations with the son for whose , future greatness she was conspiring. These' subterranean passages enabled ' the crafty mother to hold secret communication with Tiberius, and lay and mature those plaus which should remove from his path all the obstructions to the Imperial throne. Last Saturday evening, Mr. Shakespeare ■Wood, tho Secretary of the British Archaio logical Society of Eome, gave us a very inter esting lecture on this very subject. His lec ture was made doubly and trebly attractive by the immense amount of information it con tained in regard to Roman houses in general, t!he style of houses built at various periods on the Palatine, and the distinguished men to whom they belonged. The whole subject was treated in'a very thorough manner; fine maps or ground plans of that part of the Palatine, of the Palace of Tiberius, and the house in question, hung on the wall and served as illus trations to the text. May short account of the house and the theory entertained as to its owner, I have only been able to give you a bare outline—not the very conclusive proofs— as my limited space does not allow me to do so. Chevalier Kosa courteously set apart a pri vate day tor the visit of the audionco of Air. ■Wood’s lecture to the Palatine; and last Mon day afternoon Air. Wood showed us through the house, pointed out part of the mysterious passage, and kindly explained each portion. Over two thousand yeaTs ago that beautiful, cunning, wicked woman, whose charming form and manner we all admire in tho Pudi- Citia, lived in this house as a-young wife— wife to a better, if not as great a man as .Au gustus. Tiberius Claudius Nero was one of the few stern, hones.t republicans of that de generate day of Eome preceding tho advent of the Cmsars. He was a friend and companion in anns of Julius Cicsar; hut so faithful was be to the, principles he professed and believed that he proposed to the Senate that a resolu tion be passed giving a reward to those who bad slain the tyrant, not from any animosity to Caekar, hut because he thought the conspi rators had saved tho Republic. And yet in this very house was horn his son, who proved to be a worse tyrant than Cmsar,with no one redeeming quality, and under whose rule the republic became entirely extinct. The italie, of Florence, announced, most audaciously, a day o £ two ago, that Padre Secchi, the celebrated astronomer of the Homan College, with Padre Rosa, another scientific celebrity, was on the eve of leav ing the Society of Jesuits, and coupled their names in such a manner with Padre Passa glia as to lead those who read the paragraph to think these two distinguished Jesuits were about to prove unfaithful to their vows and principles. Padre Secchi has written a letter to the Nazione, of Florence, in his name, and also in the name, of Padre Rosa, denying the asser tion most positively. The Italie also an nounced on Tuesday that the French Min ister, M. do Bannevillo,had deft Eome sudden ly for Paris, without giving any notice to tho Papal Government. This was also false. It is said, however, that the First Secretary of the French Embassy has gone to Paris, and it is supposed he is the hearer of the Pope’s re ply to the French Ministry’s demand to be allowed to send a representative to the Council. As the Italians say, with a shrug of the shoulders and a pout of the lips, “ Chi lo 8 a!” “Who knows!” But the future knows, and she will soon tell ns if we only have patienoe to wait. It is very hard, however, to vrait sometimes; for example, to-day we stand outside that Council wall with a curiosity that is not blamable to know what is taking place within the hall on this eventful occasion- But we shall not have to waita hundred years to know the true history of the doings of the Council of the Vatican;that is certain. Prudent and secret as the rulers of the Council have tried to he, all their guards and checks have unfortunately been ineffectual, and almost everything is known that has been done ao far. The violent charges, responses and attacks of the clerical journals .at tached to the two religions parties have dis closed everything. A careful reader of tho Vnivers Francois and Unitd Cattolica can he pretty well “posted,” as we Americans say. The only trouble is—we have to wait for the journals to come from Paris and Turin to us. I do not know that away from Rome these fiery editorials and communications be, so well understood; hut, taken in coditftteiiiin with that which is heard daily fiom rednot,ih' this city, they give us many a key fd a eiosbly,-; locked piece of Council news. It is said, Very cleverly, that at the Council of Trent Charles V. was the constant torment to both parties, but at the Council of the Vatican the daily press performs the tantalising office of the old Emperor. A report was circulated yesterday that the Ultramontane clergy of Home is using all its influence to prevent a performance of a Mineral service at Ara Cudi for Montalombert, ■who, as a Roman citizen, is entitled to such a mark of respect to his memory. But I fancy this is an exaggeration; for the Vnivers, Louis Veuillot’s paper, which is “ more papaline than the Rope,” came out in full mourning on its first page the day it announced the death of that great and good man. ' The clerical journals of Europe aro as demonstrative as ohr political journals usad to be in “ old Jackson times.” For example, a fortnight since; the Unitd Cattelica of the, Bth, when it aimounced the distribution of the Tlxema on infallibility, had its journal gayly decked with a rose-colored border as a sign of tejoicing. Anne Biekwhtki!. —Hahnemann, the founder of the llommo pathic school, Was one day consulted by a - wealthy English Lord. The doctor listened patiently to the statement, which the patient made to him. He then took a small vial, opened it, and held it under the Lord’s nose, “brneil! Well, you are cured!” The Lord asked, in surprise, “How much do I owe you?” "Thousand francs,” was the reply. The Lord immediately pulled out a bank note and held it tinder the doctor’s nose.’ “Smell! Well, you are paid!” Theodore Wachtel, the greatest of German tenors, is now starring it in Glasgow, where ho receives i. 126 lor each performance. v-~ [From tho Buffalo Exprei*.] TUB FACTS IN THE GBEAT MSB It was in the early days of Nevada Terri tory. The mountains ate very high and steep about Carson, Eagle and Washoe valleys—very high and very steep, and so when the snow gets to melting off fast in the Spring and the warm surface-earth begins to moisten and soften, the disastrous land-slides commence. You do not know what a land-slide is, unless you have lived in that- country and seen the whole side of a mountain taken off some fine morning and deposited down in the valley, leaving a vast, treeless, unsightly scar upon the mountain’s front to keep the circumstance fresh in your memory all the years that you may go on living within seventy miles of that place. General Buncombe was shipped out to Ne vada in the invoice Of Territorial officers, to be United States Attorney. He considered him self a lawyer of parts, and he very much wanted an opportunity to manifest it—partly for. the pure gratification of it , and partly be cause his salary was Territorially meagre (which is a strong expression)- Now the older citizens of a new territory look upon the rest of the world with a calm, unmalignaut con tempt as long as it keeps out of the way—when it gets in the way they snub it. Sometimes this latter takes the 6hape of a practical joke. One morning Dick Sides rode furiously up to General Buncombe’s door in Carson City and rushed into his presence without stopping to tie his horse. He seemed much excited. He told the General that he wanted him to de fend a suit lor him and would pay him five hundred dollars if be achieved a victory. And then, with violent gestures and a world of pro fanity, he poured out his griefs. He said it was pretty well known that for some years he had been farming (or ranching as the more customary t,erm is), in Washoe District, and making a successful thing of it, and furthermore it was known that his ranch was situated just in the edge of the valley, and that Tom Morgan owned a ranch immediately above it on. the mountain side. And now the trouble was that one of those hated and dreaded land-slides had come and slid Morgan’s ranch, fences, cabins, cattle, bams and everything down on top of his ranch, and exactly covered up every single vestige of his property, to a deptli of about six feet. Morgan was in possession and refused to vacate the premises—said he was occupying his own cabin' and not interfering with any hody .else’s —and said cabin was standing On the same dirt and same ranch it had always stood on, and would like to see-anybody make him - vacate. “ And when I reminded him,” said Sides, weeping, “that it was on top of my ranch and that he was trespassing, he had the infernal meanness to ask me why didn’t I stay on iny ranch and hold possession when 1 see him coming! Why'didn’t I slay on it, the blather ing lunatic—and by George, when I heard that racked and looked up that hill it was just like the whole world was a ripping and a tearing down that mountain side—trees going end over end in the air, rock? as big'as a house jumping about a thousand feet high and burst ing into ten million pieces, cattle literally turned inside out and a-comlug head on with their tails hanging out between their teeth— Oh, splinters, and cord-wood, and thunder and lightning, and hail and snow, odds and ends of hay stacks and things, and dust—Oh, dust ain’t no name for it—it was just clouds, solid'clouds of dust!—and in the midst of all that wrack and destruction sot that cussed Alorgan on his gate post, a-wondering why I didn’t stay and hold possession ; likely! Umph! I took just one glimpse of that specticle, General, and I lit out’n the country in three jumps exactly. “ But what grinds me is that that Moigan hangs on there and won’t move off'n that ranch—says it’s his’n and he’s going to keep it-r—likes it better’n he did when it was higher up the hill.' Mad! Well, I’ve been so mad for two days that I couldn’t find my way to town —been - wandering around in the brush in a starving condition—got anything. here to drink, General? But I’m here now, and I’m a-going to law. You hear me! ” Never in all the world, perhaps, were a man's feelings so outraged as wpre the General’s. He said he had never heard of such high-handed conduct in all his life as this Morgan’s.' And he said there was no use in going to law— Alorgan had no shadow of right to remain where he was —nobody in the wide world would uphold him in it, and no lawyers would take his case and no judge listen to it. Sides said that right there was where he was mis taken—everybody in the town sustained Mor gan ; Hal Brayton, a very smart lawyer, had taken his case; the courts being in vacation, it was to be tried before a referee, and ex-Gov emorßoop had already been appointed to that office, and would open his court in the largest parlor of the Ormsby House at two that afternoon. The innocent General was amazed.’ He said he had suspected before that the people of that Territory were fools, and now he knew it. But he said rest easy, rest easy and collect the witnesses, for the victory l was just as certain as if the conflict were already over. Sides wiped away liis tears and left. At two in the afternoon Referee Roop’s Court opened, and that remorseless old joker appeared throned among his sheriffs, liis wit nesses and a *’ packed” jury, and wearing upon his face a fraudulent solemnity so awe-inspir ing that some of bhU fellow-conspirators had misgivings that maybe he had not com prehended, after all, that this was merely a joke. An unearthly stillness prevailed, for at the slightest noise the Judge uttered sternly the command:, “ Order in the court!” And the Sheriffs promptly it. Pres ently the General elbowed liis way through the crowd of spectators, with liis arms full of law-books, and on his ears fell an order from the judge which was the first respectful recog nition of his high olhcial dignity that had Over saluted them, and it saiurated his whole sys tem with pleasure. “Way for the United States Attorney?” The witnesses were called—legislators, high Government officers, ranch men, miners, Indi ans, Chinamen, negroes. Three-fourths of them were called by the defendant Morgan, hut no matter, their testimony invariably went in favor of the plaintiff Sides. Each new witness only added new testimony to the absurdity of a man’s claiming to own another man’s pro perty because his farm had slid down on top of it. Then the Morgan lawyers made their speeches, and seemed to make singularly weak ones—they did really nothing to help the Mor gan cause. And, pow the General, with a great glow of triumph on his face, got up and made a mighty ellort; he pounded the table, lie hanged the law-books, be shouted, and roared and howled; he quoted from every thing and everybody, poetry, sarcasm, statistics, history, pathos, and blasphemy, and wouud up with a grand war-wl|oop for free speech, free dom of the press, fiee schools, the Glorious Bird of America and the principles of eternal justice! ’ [Applause.] AVhen the General sat down, he did it with the comfortable conviction that if there were anything in good Btrong testimony, a big speech and believing and admiring' counte nances all around, Mr. Morgan’s cake was dough. Ex-Governor Hoop leant his head upon liis hand for some minutes, thin kin" pro foundly, and the Still audience waited breath lessly for his decision. Then he got up and stood erect, with bended head, and thought again. Then he walked the iloor with long, deliberate strides, and bis chin in his band, and THE DAILY EVENIN G BULLETIN—PHILADELPHIA, THUESDAY, APRIL 7,1870. SLIDE CASE. BY MARK TWAIN. stiff the audience waited,. At last he returned lo his throne and seated himself. The Sheriffs commanded the attention of the "Court. Judge Roop cleared liis throat and said: “Gentlemen, I feel the great responsibility that rests upon me this day." This is no ordinary case. On the .contrary it is plain that it is the most solemn and awful that ever man was called upon to decide. Gentlemen, I have listened attentively to the evidence, and the weight of it, tire over whelming weight of it is in favor of the plain tiff Sides. . I have listened also to the remarks of counsel, with liigh'Tnterest—and especially will I commend the masterly and irrefutable logic of the distinguished gentleman who rep resents the plaintiff. But, gentlemen, let us beware bow we allow human testimony, human ingenuity in argument and human ideas of equity to influence us to our undoing at a moment so solemn as this? Gentlemen, it ill becomes fts, worms as we are, to meddle with the decrees of Heaven. It is plain to me that Heaven, in its inscrutable wisdom, has seen fit to move this defendant’s ranch for a purpose. We are but creatures, and we must submit. If Heaven has chosen to. favor the defendant Alorgan in this marked and wonderful man ner; and if Heaven, unsatisfied with the posi tion of the Morgan ranch npon the mountain side, has chosen to remove it to a position more eligible and more advantageous for its owner, it ill becomes us, insects as we are, to question the legality of the act. No—Heaven created the ranches and it is Heaven’s preroga tive to rearrange them, to experiment with them, to shift them around at its pleasure. It. is for us to submit, without repining. I warn you that tills thing which has happened is a thing with whien the sacrilegious hands and brains and tongues of men must not meddle. Gentlemen, i.t is the verdict of this court that the plaintiil, Richard Sides, has been deprived of his ranch by the visitation of God! And, from this decision there is no appeal.” Buncombe seized his cargo of law books and plunged out of the court room a raving mad man, almost. He pronounced Roop to be a miraculous ass, a fool, an inspired idiot. In all good faith ho returned at night and remons trated with Roop upon his extravagant decis ion, and implored him to walk the floor and think for an hour, and see if he could not fig ure out some sort of modification of the ver dict. Robp yielded at last and got up to walk. He walked two honr and a half, and at last his face lit up happily and he told Buncombe it had occurred to. him that the ranch under neath the new Alorgan ranch still belonged to Sides, that his title to the ground itself was just as good as it had ever been, and therefore lie was of the opinion that Sides had a right to dig it out from under there and— • v The General never waited to hear the end of it. He was always an impatient and irasci ble man, that way. At the end of two weeks lie got it through his understanding that lie had been played upon with a joke. FURNITURE, &C. FURNITURE.
