 HE Order of Cincinnatus, composed of Merchants 
 the city of Cincinnati, having arranged with Messrs. 
 Pain & Sons, of London and New York, for the 
 representation, in Cincinnati, of the wonderful 
 spectacle, “The Last Days of Pompeii,” with all 
 the remarkably brilliant and realistic effects, which 
 made it the center of attraction at Manhattan Beach,

 * 5 r night on August 24th, and continuing thereafter every night, 
 
 except Sundays, to September 19th, weather permitting. In event 
 of a postponement tickets will be good the next clear night. 
 
 The circumstantial, but fascinating account given of a supposed 
 scene in Pompeii, on that fatal day, by Lord Lytton, in his most 
 charming work, “ The Last Days of Pompeii,” is the groundwork 
 upon which the spectacle is fashioned, and the characters and inci¬ 
 dents in the story are fairly accurately adhered to in the realistic 
 rendition. The reader may obtain a clearer conception of this than 
 he might otherwise possess from the subjoined sketch of the city and 
 its tragic but picturesque and sensational doom.

POMPEII 
 
 
 n INCE 1834, when the late Lord Lytton, then Sir Edward 
 Bulwer Lytton, published his famous novel, “The Last 
 Days of Pompeii,” so extensive have been the discoveries 
 made among the ruins of the buried city that very little 
 of what he then wrote remains accurate. The excavations 
 of the past twenty years have laid bare sufficient to 
 guarantee the assertion that, far from being a little 
 country seaside town, as the great novelist described it 
 to have been, Pompeii was a very large city indeed, with possibly over 
 one hundred and fifty thousand inhabitants. Even Sir William Gell’s 
 beautiful work, compiled with so much patience and personal research, 
 
 «

holds no longer its position as an infallible guide. In 1832, about 
 three hundred bodies had been dug out of the ruins; to-day the 
 number reaches considerably over three thousand. 
 
 The history of Pompeii is simple enough. Its 
 building is generally ascribed to the Oscans, and its name is derived 
 from the Greek u Homiieta,” or “storehouses,” indicating its com¬ 
 mercial origin. It is known to have been a city of some importance 
 five hundred years before Christ, but under the empire it seems to have 
 become a kind of Brighton of the epoch, a fashionable summer re¬ 
 sort and watering place. Cicero had a villa in its suburbs, in which 
 he wrote his famous “Offices” and entertained as guests Augustus 
 Caesar, Balbus, Hirtius and Pansa. Claudius took refuge here from 
 the tyranny of Tiberius, and his son Drusus died within the walls of 
 Pompeii, oddly enough, from the effects of swallowing, the wrong way, 
 a pear pip, which choked him 
 
 On more than one occasion the city was men¬ 
 aced by destruction: firstly, a. d. 63, by a terrible earthquake, which 
 Tacitus tells us threw down half the place, and Seneca adds, killed 
 over “six hundred sheep, and deprived hundreds of persons of their 
 “reason. So great, indeed, was the terror, that many persons aban- 
 “ doned the city entirely” In the course of the same year there 
 was yet another earthquake, which was, if anything, much more ter¬ 
 rible than the first, and traces of which are yet discernible among 
 the ruins now brought to light. 
 
 The first eruption of Vesuvius of which we have 
 authentic record occurred in the year a. d. 79, on the 24th day of 
 August, late in the afternoon. It is memorable, not only as being the 
 one which destroyed Pompeii and Herculan¬ 
 eum, and caused the death of Pliny, the 
 naturalist, but also as having Pliny, the 
 younger, his nephew, as its historian. 
 
 It would appear from the two let¬ 
 ters which we still possess, written 
 the younger Pliny to Tacitus, that, 
 
 “toward one in the afternoon, 
 
 “ his mother informed his uncle,

 “ who was stationed with the Roman fleet at Misenum, that a cloud 
 u appeared of unusual size and shape. It was not, at that distance, 
 u discernible from what mountain it arose, but it was found afterward 
 “that it was from Vesuvius. I can not give a more exact idea of 
 16 its figure than by describing it as looking for the world like a pine 
 “tree, for it shot up a great height in the form of a trunk, which 
 “extended itself at the top into the shape of branches, occasioned. I 
 “imagine, either by a sudden gust of air which impelled it, the force 
 “of which decreased as it advanced upward, or the cloud itself, 
 “ being pressed back again by its own weight, expanded in this 
 “manner. It appeared sometimes bright, and sometimes dark and 
 “spotted, as it became more or less impregnated with earth and 
 “cinders This was a surprising phenomenon, and it deserved, in 
 “the opinion of that learned man, to be inquired into more exact- 
 u ly He commanded a liburnian galley to be prepared for him, 
 
 “and made me an offer to accompany him if I pleased. I replied 
 “ that I was busy with my studies that day, and 
 “declined. He left me with his tablets in his hand. 
 “The mariners at Retince (the modern Remind), being 
 “under consternation at the approaching danger 
 “(for the village was situated under the mountain, 
 “and there was no escape save from the sea), en¬ 
 treated him not to venture upon so hazardous 
 “an enterprise. My uncle, however, desirous ot 
 “giving assistance to the people of Resina and 
 “ of other neighboring villages, insisted upon sailing 
 “toward places abandoned by others. He now 
 “began to feel the ashes beating against the 
 “ships and upon their decks, and in greater 
 “quantities; and as they drew nearer, pumice

 “stones, with black flints, burnt and torn up by the flames, 
 
 “ broke in upon them; and now the hasty ebb of sea, and ruins tumbling 
 “ from the mountain, hindered their near approach to the shore. Paus- 
 “ ing a little upon this, whether he should not return back, and instigat¬ 
 ed to it by the pilot, he cried out, ‘Fortune assist the brave; let us 
 ‘ * make the best of our way to Pomponianus! ’ who was then at Statia, 
 “ where he perished during the night, in a vain attempt to escape.” 
 
 In his second letter, Pliny describes the catastrophe as he 
 himself saw it. He tells us that there had been many shocks of 
 earthquake before, and one slight one in the morning. From this 
 epistle we gather that the first warning of a serious nature occurred 
 at Pompeii at about four in the afternoon. All throughout the even¬ 
 ing and night, long scenes of unexampled horror took place. 
 
 “ Nothing there was to be heard but the shrieks of women 
 “and children; the cries of men; some calling for parents, others 
 “ for husbands and wives, others upon their favorite gods; one lament¬ 
 ing his own fate, another that of his family; some wishing 
 
 “to die from the very fear of dying; but the gre (F ater part imag-

“and its gods together. Meantime, a rain of fire fell around us, 
 “mixed with cinders and ashes, which we were obliged now and then 
 “ to shake off, otherwise we should have been crushed and buried in 
 “ the heap.” When day did appear and “ even the sun peeped out,” 
 the sight which greeted the eyes of the great naturalist’s nephew and 
 his mother, “a corpulent and elderly lady,” who “had frequently 
 “urged her son to abandon her and save himself,” but which he 
 nobly and dutifully refused to do, was extraordinary indeed. “ Every 
 “object which presented itself to our eyes seemed changed, being 
 “covered over with white ashes, like a deep snow. We returned 
 “to Misenum, where we refreshed ourselves as best we could, and 
 “passed another anxious night ^between hope and fear—though, in- 
 “ deedj with a much larger share of the latter, for the earthquake 
 “ still continued, while several foolish persons ran up and down, 
 “heightening their own and their friends’ calamities by their terrible

Pompeii, was destroyed by 
 a kind of flow of liquid lava, 
 
 which, pouring itself into every crevice, 
 has rendered attempts to recover the 
 remains almost fruitless. Pompeii, how¬ 
 ever, was buried under a thick coating of 
 ashes, which have rather preserved than 
 damaged it; so that, as a rule, the houses are 
 unearthed entire and pretty nearly in their 
 original condition, the frescoes fresh as if 
 painted but yesterday, and even articles 
 of food are found just where they were 
 left eighteen hundred years ago. From certain 
 indications, it seems evident that during the first four 
 centuries of our era many slight excavations were 
 made, possibly with a view of unearthing hidden treasures, and that even 
 a village or so was built on the site of the once great city; but in 472 
 another vigorous eruption destroyed the huts and so scared the people 
 that, until 1748, no further attempts were made to uncover what nature, 
 in one of her freaks of temper, had so artfully concealed. In that 
 year, however, a peasant, when digging a well, found a painted 
 chamber containing statues and other objects of interest. King 
 Charles II, of Naples, in whom the discoveries of Herculaneum had 
 awakened a desire for further explorations, ordered the excavations to 
 be continued. In 1755, the Amphitheater was laid bare, and since 
 then until now, and notably during the past ten years, the works have 
 gone on pretty steadily. 
 
 The city appears to have been built quite close 
 to the sea, which has, however, since receded considerably. The spec¬ 
 tator will notice that in its production a large lake of water 
 forms the foreground of the imposing picture of the restored city. 
 Such lakes existed and communicated with the sea by means of 
 canals, so that the imperial galleys and other important vessels 
 could land their crews in the vicinity of the Forum and principal 
 public buildings. The monuments of Pompeii, numerous and on

a large scale, were mostly in Greek 
 architecture, blended, however, with 
 the Roman. We have now almost 
 in perfect condition, several of the 
 city gates, the Forum, the Amphitheater, many temples, public 
 schools, the Basilica, and innumerable dwelling houses and 
 shops, some of considerable size, the Temple of Isis, which 
 stands in the center of our picture, and three small theaters and 
 two triumphal arches, one of which is included in the scenic scheme 
 which we present, and was erected to commemorate the visit of 
 the Emperor Augustus Csesar. Recent discoveries 
 prove that, although most of the houses in 
 Pompeii were but one story high, 
 still many were raised even 
 to four stories, and had bal¬ 
 conies. The roofs were, 
 however, of wood covered 
 with red tiles, but nearly all 
 have disappeared—battered 
 in, being very flimsy, by 
 the load of cinders and 
 ashes. An idea of the 
 magnificent dimensions of 
 some of the public build¬ 
 ings maybe obtained 
 from the fact that the Am¬ 
 phitheater could accom¬ 
 modate 12,000 persons, 
 the theater 2,000, the 
 odeum or opera house 
 1,500. The Temple of 
 Venus was 200 feet in 
 length, that of Isis 150, 
 and that of Jupiter 180.

was 183 feet long by 142 wide, and surrounded 
 by a portico of 22 Doric columns. The Greek 
 
 Temple of Neptune, the most ancient building 
 erected yet discovered, stands close to the sea, 
 and was 120 feet long by 90 in width, and of very 
 magnificent architecture. In our picture it is the fine temple to the 
 left, near the Amphitheater, a portion of the exterior of which 
 is also shown. Rising on the gentle hills upon which the city 
 was built, and which were much higher than they are now, owing 
 to the quantity of lava and ashes which has accumulated in cen¬ 
 turies, we see in confused but picturesque groups temples, public 
 baths, halls and villas lost amid orange and cypress groves, while 
 high above all is the fearful mountain still the admiration, but also 
 secret terror of Naples, and indeed of all Southern Europe. Only 
 the other day its smoke suddenly ceased to rise high up in the 
 pure ether above.

 shaken by an earthquake, and then when 
 it was utterly destroyed, Vesuvius began once more 
 to smoke quietly, as if nothing had happened. Scientists still think 
 it possible that Naples herself may one day be, if not desolated, 
 at least terribly injured by her treacherous but most picturesque 
 neighbor. Seen from which side you will, Vesuvius is beautiful— 
 its isolation, its conical but imposing shape, the awful traditions 
 connected with its history, and its curl of graceful smoke, 
 
 sometimes at night increased by vivid flames and tor¬ 
 rents of lava, all add to the fascina¬ 
 
 tion which it has exercised 
 upon the imagination 
 since long before the 
 time of Christ. 
 
 Those who wish 
 to form an idea of the 
 busy life of ancient 
 Pompeii must turn to 
 the glowing pages of 
 Lord Lytton’s 
 immortal novel, 
 
 “The Last Days 
 of Pompeii.” But 
 in order to better 
 understand the 
 beautiful spec¬ 
 tacle which we 
 are about to pro¬ 
 duce, it will be well 
 for the spectator 
 to imagine that as 
 he sits facing the 
 gigantic pano¬ 
 rama of the once fair 
 city which was the

Pliny, he is himself an ancient Pompeiian invited to witness the 
 festival held there annually in honor of the goddess Isis, whose 
 temple, as already said, faces him. The day has been beautiful 
 and serene, and only slight clouds of smoke rise from the crater of 
 the volcano. Arbaces, a rich Egyptian, whose house in the archi¬ 
 tecture of the land of Isis and Cleopatra, bathes its marble steps in 
 the water to the right, has assumed, by reason of his great wealth, 
 a leading and most influential position in Pompeii, and has chosen 
 the feast day of the great Egyptian goddess, in order to dazzle not 
 only the eyes of the fair Neapolitan lone, with whom he is desper¬ 
 ately in love, with a display of his wealth and power, but also those 
 of his fellow citizens. 
 
 As the performance begins, the streets fill up with ‘‘the peo¬ 
 ple,” the populace, who arrive singly and in groups in order to se¬ 
 cure seats to wit¬ 
 
 ness the process¬ 
 ions and festivities. 
 Husbands and 
 wives and little 
 children mingle 
 with flower girls, 
 refreshment ven¬ 
 ders and priests, 
 while lads and 
 lassies eagerly press 
 about in search of 
 places which com¬ 
 mand the best

 geant.

across the ornamental lake, and the prows of the galleys make their 
 appearance as from under the triumphal arches a group of sol¬ 
 diers, with standards and musical instruments, emerge, and an¬ 
 nounce the coming of Arbaces. The soldiers are followed by a 
 dozen negro slaves, holding up inscriptions and bannerets in honor 
 of the powerful Egyptian. Then come priests in white robes, 
 next a number of dancing girls and a senator or “ member for 
 Pompeii,” with his attendants; next some ladies, and lastly a 
 guard of honor, two and two, in front of Arbaces, who, clad in pur¬ 
 ple and gold, walks under a canopy. This procession crosses the 
 stage and bows to the officials of the city, who sit under a canopy 
 to the right, in a building overlooking the water. The procession 
 then turns to the left, and part of it, including Arbaces, passes down 
 the steps to .the water’s edge to await the arrival of the galleys, 
 which now enter in full view. They advance gradually, and from 
 the first alight soldiers and slaves, from the second lone and her 
 affianced bridegroom, the Greek Glaucus. Arbaces receives lone 
 with profound obeisance, but barely condescends to notice 
 Glaucus, thereby indicating his jealousy and dislike. The 
 procession reforms, and the guests take positions under the 
 portico of Arbaces’ house. By this time it is dark, and the 
 beautiful city, with its villas and temples, appears brightly 
 lighted with divers kinds of lights and lamps. Music strikes up, 
 and, upon the signal of a blast of trumpets, the 
 doors of the temple of Isis are thrown open, and

 ter of the stage. All kneel for a moment, and then the dancing 
 girls begin a slow movement, and Nydia, the blind girl, appears and 
 dances gracefully. Suddenly Arbaces cries out, ti If there he Chris¬ 
 tians present , and known to any of you, let them be denounced and brought 
 forward to adore the great goddess Isis.” The people in return cry out: 
 a Glaucus is a Christian ; let him worship the goddess , or death be unto him ! ” 
 lone, upon hearing these cries, and knowing her affianced hus¬ 
 band to be secretly a Christian, rises in terror, but Glaucus boldly de¬ 
 scends, and, sword in hand, advances toward the idol, which now' ap¬ 
 pears to glow with internal fire. Vesuvius also begins to show signs of 
 an approaching eruption. Glaucus is about to strike fhe goddess, when 
 the blind Nydia, guessing his intention, and guided by his voice, pre¬ 
 vents him, and rushing toward the goddess her 
 self overthrows the tripod which stands at the 
 idol’s feet. 
 
 All rise in confusion, the earth quakes, the dread 
 mountain vomits forth flames and clouds of smoke; 
 the temple columns totter, the people, forgetting 
 Isis and her priests, remember only their danger.

Glaucus seizes lone, and with Nydia clinging to them, they manage 
 to enter a boat, and are seen, amid the flashes of lightning and the 
 glow from the torrents of flaming lava, escaping across the water 
 from the doomed city. Arbaces is killed by a falling column, while 
 the people, screaming and shouting for aid, rush in wild confusion 
 in every direction, realizing Lord Lytton’s magnificent and graphic 
 description of the appalling catastrophe. 
 
 ‘‘The sudden illumination, the bursts of the floods of lava, and 
 “the earthquake, which we have already described, chanced when 
 “ Sallust and his party had just gained the direct path 
 “leading from the city to the port; and here they were 
 “ arrested by an immense crowd, more than half the pop- 
 “ ulation of the city. They spread along the field without 
 “the walls, thousands upon thousands uncertain whither 
 “ to fly. The sea had retired far from the shore; and 
 ‘ they who had fled to it had been so terrified by the agita- 
 ‘ tion and preternatural shrinking of the element, the gasp- 
 ‘ ing forms of the uncouth sea things which the waves 
 ‘ had left upon the sand, and by the sound of the huge 
 ‘ stones cast from the mountain into the deep, that they 
 “had returned again to the land, as presenting the 
 4 less frightful aspect of the two. Thus the two streams 
 “of human beings, the one seaward, the other from the 
 “sea, had met together, feeling a sad comfort in num¬ 
 bers arrested in despair and doubt. ‘The world is 
 ‘ to be destroyed by fire,’ said an old man in long, loose 
 ‘robes, a philosopher of the Stoic school. ‘Stoic and

“Epicurean wisdom have alike agreed in this prediction; and the 
 “hour is come!’ As he spake, there came that sudden illumination 
 “which had heralded the death of Arbaces, and glowing over that 
 “mighty multitude, awed, crouching breathless—never on earth had 
 “ the faces of men seemed so haggard !—never had meeting of mortal 
 “beings been so stamped with the horror and sublimity of dread!— 
 “never, till the last trumpet sounds, shall such meeting be seen again ! 
 “And above rose the form of Olinthus, with outstretched arm and 
 “prophet brow, girt with the living fires. And the crowd knew the 
 “face of him they had doomed to the fangs of the beast then their 
 “victim, noiv their warner; and through the stillness again came his 
 “ ominous voice—‘The hour is come ! ’ The Christian repeated the cry. 
 “It was caught up—it was echoed from side to side —women and men, 
 “childhood and old age 
 “repeated, not aloud, but 
 “ in a smothered and
