After crowing the piazza,. bowing to tlio hounrablu Mtiatort at tlio forum, the procwaloti returns nmlnwalta'the Egyptian's greeting of Iouo and her atteudatiU, who with the Urcok, (llnu cub, arrive by boat, Tlio honored munis are tliiu taken by galley to the magnificent resi dence of Arbacco nnd from hit portico watch tlio festivities which now commence, consist lug of wrestling, boxing, gladiatorial coin bata and exhibitions of Rtrength and daring. Following the sports the sacred inarch in nmilo to the temple or Isis, from wiiiuh now emerge the priest and priestawe, the golden calf to bo worshipped, and tho high priest, whoso npiH-nrnnce I tho itlgnnl for the intiltl tude to kneel. Olaucus, being n Christian, refuse to kneel, nnd this brings on n combat with Arbacea. Vesuvius, wlilch for miiio time has lieen quietly smoking, now suddenly emit n cloud of llamo and smoke with a deafouing roar, nnd Invn tour down the mountain side In torrents. Earthquake add to tho catastrophe, buildings and tern pics fall nnd nro burned and the destruction of tlio beautiful city is Indeed complete. Then follows an illustration of the height to which the art of proteclmy tins attained. One nfter another follow the feature provlri ed by Mr. Pain's experienced operatives ami On Friday evening next, thousands of per sons will Iks comfortably seated In the com modious grandstands at the M street ball park, in Lincoln, and their souls will bo "far away" as their eyes gazo upon tho "purple peaks remote," at tho feet of which tho mimic city of l'omiicii lies tranquilly nnd leautifully realistic. Their thoughts will revert to an actual city of grandeur and beauty located at tho foot of Mt. Vesuvius, In the zenith of Home's wealth, art nnd power some eighteeu centuries ngo a city larger In size than our own lieautlful Lincoln. Their eyes will feast upon n sccno of lenuty but faintly Imngined from tho reading of efforts of pens. They will see, just beyond n lake decked with gon dolas and galleys and bordered with ancient gardens nnd palaces, the streets of nn ancient city nlivo with peoplo In odd, picturesque dress; young and old, busy and idle, rich nnd loor, men, women and children are there. Nydin, the beautiful blind girl, intermingles with tlio populace disposing of her flowers. Massive buildings of quaint architecture rise on every Hide. At the left, the marble palaco of a rich nobleman stands so near the lake that boats hud their fair and brave oc cupants nt its steps. Oil a street that seems perfectly outlined with statuary, tints, How ers, ferns nnd shrubs, is n massivo triumphal arch. In the middle foreground is an elo gnnt marble bath house. In close proximity to this temple of cleanliness is tho white marble-columned temple of Isis, the favorite goddess. To tho left is a most ancient build ing representing the Greek temple of Nep tune, of magnificent architecture; it is near the Colosseum and Forum where gorgeously robed senators are passing in and out. In every direction, up tho mountain slope and beside the bluo waters of tho beautiful Na ples llay, are villas and picturesque gardens, temples, etc., while touring to n great dis tanca stands Vesuvius itself. As the performance progresses a trumpet Is beard and from under the triumphal arches a group of soldiers emerge with standards and musical Instruments, announcing the coming of Arbaces, the wealthy Egyptian, who on this occasion has attempted to duzzle CURIOUS TRAINED ANIMALS. Storks, flees, Hlierp, Cats, Hogs, IMgeitns, Mons, Tigers, Klephanls, atul Other AnliunU Taught In 1'rrfiirm Clever Tricks. Imagine the care, time and patience neces sary to train n flock of storks, these nr eutly stupid birds, so thnt they will compre hends words of command. Imagine thesaine with a flock of geese, whose Intractable na ture is so well known to nil, and think also of the difficulty of training pigs, goats, pigeons, sheep, dogs and cats, so that they will nr form clever and dlfllcult tricks at the word of command. Yet still it has nil been done, and dono remarkably well, too, and besides these animals, strange to say, monkeys, horses, (mules, Wars, hyenas, panthers, leop ards, tigers, lyons, wolves, camels, giraffe and rebras, have been so well Instructed that one would think they were all endowed with human reason. Home of tho tricks these an imals execute border on the miraculous, out el's again npcnr amazing, while some are the most laughable ever seen. Elephant have been taught to go through nil the Intri cate figures of n quadrille by tlio trainer call ing out the name of each figure. It Is ouo of tho most astonishing displays of trained ani mals ever exhibited, astonishing, Ihchuso aside from the fact that thero are so many of them, they nro all trained to execute such Hoiulerfully dllllcult tricks and feats, and till itiorciwi because hitherto mutt of tiico creatures have lit-en considered untamable and i.omo of them Intractable.
