Gallo-Roman Villa Unearthed.

A Gallo-Roman villa has been unearthed in Paris in connection with the .works for the underground railway near the Luxembourg. Traces of Roman are being discovered in Paris pore numerously every year, and the remains of the villa just discovered might, we are told, rival those of some of the finest brought to light at Pompeii. It la not the first time that this villa is spoken of, as parts of the walls and atrium were uncovered years ago, when the works Vere in progress for the Luxembourg station, but now the entire villa has been laid bare, and it 1b found to have consisted of twenty rooms, with a large antrium and a piscina. It faced in the direction of the Rue Gay Lussac and the Boulevard Saint Michel, and according to all appearances it wsb the most sumptuous private residence built in Paris during the GalloRoman period.—Paris Correspondence -London Telegraph.
