Lowell Courier. ANCIENT GLUTTONS. r.AtravanKiici. i.r l ha Itanium Kmp'rort and Tlmlr NolilUiy. The history of tho Ca'sars. with come xccptions, is the narrative of a cotitin ml orgio. Take tho notorious group st aiidom Commodua, Caligula. Tde . ius, Vcrus, Vitolus, Nero, Heliogaba lus, Domitian. These men spent their lives in a round of monstrous debauch cries. The day and night, we are as sured, were not long enough for their revels. Vcrus, the tirst to increase the number of guests from nine to twelve, prolonged his supper throughout the night Nero sit nt table from midday to midnight. Tiberius spent two days and a night at the festive board. They had huge appetites not only theg'gan tic Maximilian, who devoured forty pounds of flesh meat and drank five gallons of wi.ie at a meal, but finical dandies like Commodus, who ate even in the bath; Vitcllius, who censed eating only when be slept: Domitian, who "ate out of his hand" to stay his stomach in the inter vals of regular repasts. Heliognbalus was perhaps tho most elaborate, Vitcl lius the most extravagant, in his daily fare. The latter squandered in seven months 7,000,0(K), chiefly on his table. Tho total staggers belief, but let us ex amine the figures on the other side. The Roman empire is reported to have paid 05 or so f r a mullet; a brace of pigeons oost 1 12s. At an entertain ment given to Vitcllius by his brother two thousand of the rarest fish and seven thousand of tho rarest birds were served up. One individual spent the sum of .r,0XI on a single dish made of the tongues of the choicest singing birds. The Roman bon vivaut, su ing on the brains of peacocks and pheasants, tho tongues of nightingales and the rocs of the most delicate fishes, swallowed thousands of pounds at a meal; and we need only multiply the individual expense by the number of tho guests to form a notion of the cost of a high cliiKs dinner iu the days of tho Ciesars. A supper in the Apello mount one or two thousand pounds thrown to the purveyors. Hut the Emperors were certainly the most reckless in the prof ligacies of the table. Snieea and Taci tus are among the authorities who tell us thatlleliogabalus spent 20,000 on one supper; that Nero, master of "the House of Cold," ate a dish which cost over 30,000, and drank a I umper still more precious. It is asserted further that the Emperor Vcrus treated twelve friends to a feast which cost 415, 000, and Seneci is responsible for the state ment that Caligula spent 80,000 on a supper. The inagniticcnce of tho Em perors was imitated, if not equaled, by citizens like tho Apicii; like JEsop, the actor, and his son Clonius; like cdius Pollio, who fattened his laiii"reys on the flesh of murdered slave. A'';ie tccnth Century. a THE LETTER "R." It Divide the I'nlted Stutr In Three Dis tinct mill lVrll-Drllnrd Scrtlonn. The use or misuse of the letter "h" in England determines a man's social po sition. He may drive in a carriage with outriders in livery, and his wife rustle in satin and glitter with jewels, yet if they say "orse" for horse and "heye" for eye, their excommunication from so-called jwdite society may be taken for granted. Of course no" one will deny that many excellcut English wen and women have led useful lives, died ttnd have gone to Heaven, who never once put the "h" where it prop erly belonged, and were in every way superior to thoso who could pronounce it as Hamlet enjoins, "trippingly on the tongue." In the United States it is "r" that un mistakably proves a man's origin, if not his social standing and his moral character. In New England and the Middle States the natives have a pe culiar way of dislocating the potent liquid, they detach it from words like "near" and "dear," making them "nca" and "ilea," and tack it on to other" like Judea and Isaiah and Em ilia, making them, respectively. "Ju- dear, ' "Isaiaher" and "Eiunier." This, it has been argued, is a fault peculiar only to tho uneducated classes. Hut unprejudiced and truthful ob servers declare that they have heard it from iorons of unquestionable culture, from lecturers, authors and clergymen, even in the inmost sanctuaries of Hus ton itself. In tho West the Eastern tourist is impressed by the manner in which tho ,'r ' is rolled. It seems tho most prominent letter in the Western alphabet; while in tho South it is heard very rarely. The people, however, do not imitate their Eastern fellow-countrymen by adjusting the balance, and making the letter snflix where it is wholly superfluous. And their soft, musical tones make the fault rather pleasing to ears accustomed to catarrha. guttcrals and high nasal tones sharpen ed by eaxt winds.

A SCOUT'S PAtvIN jt i n Knynnlil's Nh( E.c..p rrom Itand i,f Uliioillhli'siy Hloiu. The nervo, hardihood ami daring of ::ic gunuin i frontier scout was ilins .rated limo after timo during (ion. usier's Indian sjaiupaign by a favoriie seo.it name-d Tom Reynolds. Ho had oe n iu the Indian country for tsn or twelve years before Custer nttm-hod lhin to his command, and ho bore twenty-two scars of wounds received from red mon. Ho was known to them as "Tho Snake," and thoy both hated and respected him. In one of his raii',s among tho strongholds to the south Custer sent Revnold's back to Fort Laramie with dispatches. Thi scout preferred to go alone, nnd the fact that tlio country was alio with Indians was taken by him as a matter of course. He left camp ono night s on after dark, mounted on a swift m ilo and having a rule before him of sixty-live or seventy m les. That was tho last seen of h in for a week, when he rode into Laramie one day and made his apologies for be ing detained on thff way. Reynold made only about lifcticn miles tho first night wh-re ho had cal culated on making forty. On several occasicus he narrowly nrssod riding into bodies of Indians who Boomed to bo scouting all over the cintntry, and up to midnight he had to move very siowly. Just after that hour his mule was bitten by a ratilesnako, and tho scout turned into a grove of cotton woods on a little creek to care for him. Ho had a small package of tho Indian weed used to extract tlio poison, and by daylight the mulo was better. It would be impossible to move for several days, however, and hn settled down to pass the time in the grove. There were Indian signs all about him, and tho chances wero'that he would not bo left undisturbed many days. It was a sniall but dense grov: nnd tho spoilt and his mulo were well hidden from a ii v one skirting tho timber. On the ti th day nine Indians wcro Been approaching the grove. They watered their ponies at tne edge of it, and then turned them loose, built a tiro and made preparations for dinner. Rey nolds had made his mulo lie down and then covered her with brush, while ho retreated to tho other side, of tho grove. The redskins were loafing around for over an hour before any thingocenrred. They wero then joined by twelve oth ers, but as the new-comers did not dis mount the scout was in hopes the whole band would soon leave the locality. They were evidently about to do so, when Reynolds' mule got up and brayed, a thing he was never known to do bo fore or after in tlio face of danger. It was accounted for in this inst nice by the fact that one of the Indians was mounted on a horse which hud been stolen from tho cavalry, and tho m.ilo evidently recognized its presence. Tho Indians at once raised en alarm and rushed into the grove. The mulo was speedily discoverad and led out, and five minutes later tho scout quietly sur rendered and walked among his oaptors with smilingfaoo. He migiit havo held them at bay for a time, but tho odds wero too great to hope for any thing turning in his favor. Several of tho Indians recognized Reynolds as "The Snake," and there was great exultation over his capture. An ordinary prisoner would have been Insulted and maltreated in the first ex citement, but no indignity was offered tho scout. Ho was disarmed, ordered to mount his mule, and the whole body moved to the east. After traveling ail the afternoon they reached tho north f rk of the I'latte and went into camp. The scout could speak tho Sioux dialect as well as a member of the tribe, and during tho journey ho kept up a run ning conversation with .the two sub chiefs, leading them to believe that he" had had a personal quarrel with Custer and was no longer in his service. He claimed that he was on his way to pur chase a trapper's outfit and return to the mountains. While the Indians no doubt kept a sharp eye on him, no ono seemed to do so. It was coming on dark as the band reach -d the creek, and Reynolds was in the midst of them as they disniouifted. He swung himself down and seemed to be engaged in removing the saddle, at the same time asking one of the clvefs why they did not cross over and get better grass. Like a flash ho. suddenly swung himself into the saddle, and like an arrow the mule darted away. Rey nolds had to pass six Indians and their horses before he was clear of the camp, but such wero his movements that ho was pistol shot away before a shout was uttered or a shot fired. Every Indian then mounted in pursuit, an I the foremost kept up a running lire until th -y were out of ammunition. The mule seemed incline 1 to make p for his bad break in the grove, and he drew ahead so f-st that at tho end of a quarter of an hour Reynolds turned aharply to the right, ro lo' about half a mile, and then man ami mulo hugged the earth and let the Indians gallop ahead into the darkness. Tho snout then returned to the stream, crossed it, and took a bee line for Fort Laramie, where he arrived next morning. Two arrows struck his saddle, and six bul lets chipped his clothing without draw ing blood. When ho handed his dis patches to the commandant ha humbly exclaimed: 'Ought to hev bin here sooner) but a snake bit Nancy and a band of reds gobbled me. Hope tho delay won't make any trouble. A'.. Y. Sun. Goethe'a Frankfort Home. Tho work of renovating the Goethe house in Frankfort-on-Main has at last been completed. In removing tho old paper from tho wall in Frau Rath's" room a closet was discovered which has been restored and now contains on its shelves many autographs of both par ents and son. In Goethe's sitting room, in the attic, filled with reminis cences of the poet and his Lotte, now stands tho latter' spinet and an old fashioned writingdesk, once belonging to Johana Wolfgang's grandmother, Cornelia Goethe. The two mansards on either side have been restored in their original form, with sloping roof, and having one window each. Every thing has been done to restore the house as nearly as possible to what it was in Goethe'a boyhood. American Sequttr. A DCnr I ' Mill's K,t,n,t,- "-b 'lion Benjamin Dt Irs.
