JCvansville, from which place only a few days since we were receiving dispatches stating that it was the harbor of refuge for capital the only city on the Ohio uninjured by the flood, is now pinging another tune and asking piteously for some of the money voted by the state for flood sufierers.

This iViuniii iiew* give* the evidence of Carey, one of the men indicted at Dublin for conspiracy to murder. Carey, like Kavanagh, turned informer and disclosed the secrets of the organization whose object was assassination. Carey's testimoney corroborated that, given by Kavanagh and is on the whole a strong point in the crown's case against the conspirators.

At the annual meeting of the National Civil Service Reform League last summer a committee was appointed to prepare an address to the clergy of the United Slates, calling attention to the abuses of the Civil Service and invoking the aid of the clergy in enlightening the people on the subject. There is no subject connected with public aflairs to which the clergy could more consistently address itself than to this one, and the League in placing in the hands of the ministers of the country a valuable epitome of all the arguments in behalf of administrative reform has taken a step that will be of great advantage to the movement.

There are many persons in Terre Haute who desire to extend aid to the sufierers by the Ohio river Hood. Some organized movement by which the contributions of such persons could be gathered together and quickly forwarded ought, perhaps, to have been under way before this. The mayor, as will be seen in another column, pro poses to have committees at work Monday. There nnv be some who will not, be called upon by the commit tees. They and all others who may desire to do so can leave their subsciiptions with the Express, stipulating, if they wish, the locality to which the money is to be sent, and it will be forwarded immediately.

It would be well to take up contribu-

e\°rry means should be adopted to raise moi.ey for the people whose distress we can hardly realize.

A article in the Xonvcllt Rerur, of Taris, by Theodore Stanton, the son of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, on "American Methods of Instruction," has created ipiite a sensation in France, and is the subject of much comment by the leading educators in that country. -Air. Stanton's article deals principally with Cornell University, at lthiea, New York, and gives a detailed account, of student life. The most surprising thing to the French is the religious freedom prevailing in American colleges, something they cannot understand. Likewise the success of the experiment of co-education of the sexes, which has been in operati JU at Ithaca for ten years. The American method of instruction we can fairly believe is far superior to that prevailing in any of the foreign countries. Besides it is constantly being improved. 'Air. Stanton's article will no doubt serve, to awaken in France, and perhaps in other countries, a desire to hear more about our colleges and their mnmier of giving instruction.

Jlaskell and Townshend the two bellicose congressmen are now trying to convince the public that each called the other the hardest names. There does not seem to be any prospect of a hostile meeting or of conciliation. The 'gentlemen might resort to the piecedent sot them by Senators Colliding and Cordon to settle their dillicultv and vet leave the honor of each unimpaired. The plan, adoped on the occasion referred to was the diplomatic contrivance of Senator MeDona'd ot this state and should be considered bv those zealous friends of the would-be candidate for president a feather in his cap. After Conkling and Gordon had kept the public and espeeielly the newspaper correspondents on the anxious seat for several cays de.ritii which there were many rumors of duels fought and to be fought, the McDonald compromise was spread on the records of the senate, signed by two friends of each senator, llus document stated that afterconsultation •'the words used by the senators were N,^ "withdrawn in the order said, that is the '-liar" uttered by Conkling was by b:m ithdrawn, and then Cordon took h's "liar': away, and so on until the last words in sight were part ot the harmless debate from which grew the personal alteicatiofi. The greatest beauty of this plan is said by those whose sense of honor is as fine as the hair trigger on their revolvers, is that iieithergentleman sacrifices any of that commodity so often described and so rarely seen.

to

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 14.—Apropos the general floods throughout the country, your correspondent took a journey of 117 miles through the district inundated by White river and tributary creeks and rivulets, on day of "last week. Oath characterized the scenery of Indiana as monotonous. To a newspaper correspondent, or lecturer, journeying through it in the winter, it would appear so, with its acres of Oat, yellow mud, and its enevitable group of tobacco-chewing loungers at every station, with visages as yellow and uninteresting as the na-' tive mul, from which the catechism says they sprung. Hut to a grain merchant or a Chicago operator on 'Change travelling through in the summer time, it is far from monotonous. The land is flat and yellow still, but yellow with the grain whose every bearded head represents the golden harvest awaiting them. The bilious loungers at the station are transformed into sunburned harvesters, who listen with indifference to the shriek and roar of the locomotive as it tears through the neighboring village and discourage with whip and rein any manifestation of interest or friskiness on the part of their horses, as though they, having risen above the everyday exeitementof watching the train go by, wished even their animals to partake of tliei stoicism. On Friday the landscape, as Myron Reed would say, "was com posed of corn stalks and distance, and the distance, in this instance, was covered, as far as tlfe eye could see on either side, with a sheet of snow-cov ered ice, like frosting on a bride' cake. White river having broken over her banks, had frozen in hillocks and hummocks over mile after mile of country. The water receding left huge cakes of ice depending from the branches of low-hanging trees along the water courses, while straw stacks and corn shocks were scaffolded with ice, showing the successive stages of the rise and fall.

A broken fil necessitated a delay of several hours near a miserable way station in the woods, and it was then the native gallantry and chivalry of the American gentleman displayed itself Everyone from conductor to train boy, farmer and commercial traveler vied with each other to provide for the comfort and convenience of the only lady passenger on the train. So much superior is the rude western civilization, as Oscar Wilde is pleased to call it, to the older civilization of Europe, I could not but contrast my own position with that of a lady friend who, while spending lastsuinmer in Vienna, was compelled to forego the pleasure of a.'companing her husband to his place of business, a distance of two or three blocks, in theheartof the city, because it. was unsafe for her to return alone. 'X'-tvaUjij (lie IllLM ii had subsided within their channels and very little evidence of the flood remained, one of the funny sights in in connection with the rapid fall being, that of a large fishing boat moored high and dry in the middle of a corn-field, where it is likely to stay until another flood comes along to take it from its moorings.

White river bridge being unsafe, the Belt road is called into requisistion and trains over the I. it V. make a detour of the city to reach the depot. The rains of last night sent Pogtie's Run out on its round of devastation airain and this morning the waters had backed up Virginia avenue to within a block or two of Pennsylvania street. Cellers are tilling and gutters and sewers are full to overflowing with the muddy streams all over the city.

Citizens here are busily engaged in collecting and send relief, in the form of provisions, to the distressed at Lawrenceburg.

AN OVKKl'l.OW 01-" KEl.IOIOX. Speaking of floods, rominds one of the great overflow of religion to which this city has been treated during the past two months or more, and of which 1 have spoken in former letters. Major Whittle was engaged a week or so ago to carry forward the work, and the First Baptist church placed at his disposal, but he left for home last Saturday, having become ill from overexertion. He is justly celebrated as an impromptu speaker, but placed in the pulpit he is extremely dull and uninteresting, rendered more so by contact with the eloquent Dr. Pierson, who had charge of the meetings before him. The last named gentleman created a small sensation recently by denouncing Beecher in his milpit. The explosion and the antipathy were natural. Two more opposite natures could scarcely be conceived of. Both eloquent and learned expounders of the Scriptures, they are as far removed Irom each other in disposition and mental bias as the opposite poles of a magnet. Beecher, the 'corpulent but respectable old gentleman' as Wilkie Collins expressed it,.full of bright original thoughts for the comfort of mankind, bin brilliant mind bent on solving the problems of this world, sure all Hie time, like the novel reader, that whatever the sequel to the little story of man's life here and heieafter, the great Author will make it a pleasant one he is full of charity for all mankind, himself included, and looking at his comfortable face and listening to his comfortable dogmas, one half suspects that a Mohammedan heaven, supplemented by plenty of books and pictures, would fill his idea of l'aradise to the full.

Dr. Pierson, on the other hand, is a modem Jeremiah, denouncing in fearless and unfaltering tones, the vices and extravagances of I he times upon which he has fallen. Tall, thin. and full of the zealous of the converted cries! in the "Last Davs of Pompeii," iiis mind concentrated upon the prob:o- of the future, he io a perfect ••pe of the ascetic followers not -. i-'iiUice iIn p..: '-ii make it of the lowly Xazerene, who suffered all manner of evils for his name's sake, and I suspect that a future of idleness and music would have small charm and he would lind it hard

To sit there night andd:iy l.ike an image in the Tribune, doing naught With these hard hands, that all his life have wrought. Not for bread only, but for pity's sake.

F.mtna Abbott, honest little Emma, is singing at the opera house to-night, which reminds me to tell you that when Nilsson was here she left an unpleasant feeling behind her and would scarcely meet with a warm reception should she return. Indianapolis honored her with a full dress reception, elegant party costumes being the rule rather than the exception, while the Swedish sonstress appeared on the sUisre in black silk heavifv trimmed in crape, and made little

or no offort to please the musical taste of her hearers in selecting her pieces after the encores of which she was the: recipient, the disappointed fashionables arguing that it she felt sufficiently reconciled to her bereavement to appear at the theater both as a spectator and in her capacity as a singer, she surely could have laid aside the emblems of grief for a few hours, and not brought the unpleasant reminders of trouble and pain into the midst of a joyous assemblage.

Mrs. "Longtra," as a few people have twisted the plain English Langtry into, is expected here soon. Having been elevated to the position of a trade mark for a liver cure, and quoted a§" authority for the excellence of a new brand of soap, there were no other heights for her to climb except that of having a French name, and that the would-be elegants have given her, and the question now is, "Are you going to see 'Longtra?'"

Storms of the Sun.

Xew York Sun. For the last two days the sun has presented a remarkable spectacle when seen with a powerful telescope. When the clouds cleared away on Monday morning, the round, shining disk appeared crossed through the Jentre by a row of spots, several of which were of large size. All gave indications of violent disturbance, especially an elongated group near the eastern edge. Yesterday this group had advanced so far upon the disk that its internal structure was clearly discernible. It consists of a great number of enormons chasms of varying size and of the most irregular shapes. These chasms are collected into two adjoining clusters, and around them the surface of the sun is heaped up into the fiery mountains which the astronomers call faculfe, .and which are continually changing in form and position. In" places the sun looks as if gigantic solid shot had plunged into it, leaving great, gaping, ragged holes in the disk. But to have made some of those holes a cannon shot as large as the earth would have been required.

In a day or two, when it will be further advanced upon the sun, this huge group of spots should be easily seen, without a telescope of any kind, in the shape of a black speck on the sun, as if the god of day were wearing a bit of court plaster on his shining face. In making such observations the eye must, of course, be protected by a dark glass. A smoked glass will do, but it is much safer to employ two deeply tinted glasses of complementary colors, such as red and green, or deep blue and yellow. The glasses should be perfectly flat and smooth, and if their colors are properly matched they will show the sun of its natural hue, but robbed of all glare, so that its surface can be scrutinized at leisure. Used with a good opera glass or powerful spy glass, such a pair of colored glasses will serve to reveal many interesting things in the sun that will surprise the unpractised observer.

Great outbursts in the sun are generally accompanied by auroral displays, and sometimes, by violent magnetic storms. The memorable auroras of last year, which crippled the telegraphs all over the northern hemisphere, occurred while groups of spots like those now visible were passing across the sun's disk, and it would not be surprising if in a few days weshould have another display of the sun's strange electric power over the earth. The whole subject, howeve^ is involved in mystery, and the laws that govern it remain to be| discovered. The researches of modern astronomers have shown that oiitside the round globe of the sun, as we see it, there is an enormous envelope of matter, greatly exceeded in bulk the visible sun, and intimately connected with it. What the constitution of this great envelope of the sun is, how far Ft extends earthward, how it is affected by outbursts in the visible globe of the sun and what part it plays in the sun's influence upon his family of worlds are questions to which science is intently seeking answers.

A Court Scene.

In St. Louis the other day, while a woman was on the witness stand, a lively scene took place between two lawyers. The following is the account from a St. Louis paper:

Before the witness could answer, Mr, Lodge arose and asked the court to insist upon the witness' having a chance to answer. He asserted that Mr. McBride would put a question and then interrupt the witness and endeavor to place her in a false position.

Mr. McBride—It is not so, sir. She is trying to evade and dodge the issue, and I can't be stopped in my purpose oy sucn arguments as you have made. My question is simple. [To the witness:] Did you not say to this jury a few minutes ago that you did borrow §10 from Father Gleeson in 1878? Answer me, yes or no

Witnss—I said that I intended borrowing the money, but I don't believe I ever—

Mr. McBride—Didn't you get the money Mr. Lodge—I appeal to the court to protect this woman. While she is trying to think about time and place the counsel yells at lfGr, and wlien she goes to answer he intercepts her. She is a woman and a witness and is entitled to reepect.

McBride—That depends on the kind of a woman she is. We'll show who she is.

Mr. Lodge—If you cannot respect that woman you cannot respect your own wife.

Mr. McBride—You're a liar! At this point Mr. Lodge was standing up beside one of the tables in the room, and Mr. McBride was sitting down on the opposite side with a roll of manuscript in his hand. Quick as lightning Mr. Lodge picked up a brown paper box, which was filled with law papers, and struck Mr. McBride on the head. The attorney for the state was stunned for an instant, but recovered immediately and reached for his knife, which lay on the table. Every one in the court room arose, the spectators outside the railing yelled, women screamed and fainted, and pandemonium reigned supreme. Both lawyers reached for the knife at the same time, and Mr. Lodge was lucky enough to secure it first. Father Gleeson seized Mr. McBride, but the latter shook him off and demanded to know why he was thus being held and assaulted. Mr. Lodge put the knife in his pocket and a number of gentlemen inside the ailing rushed between the young men ,nd Mr. Lodge was hustled out to the clerk's oflice, and from there down stairs to police headquarters. The crowd meanwhile yelled and hooted. Mr. McBride arose, and with blood running from a wound near the temple, characterized the assault as the act of a coward, and used the most violent language in connection with Mr. Lodge's name. Judge Noonan tried to preserve order, but it was useless, and lie sent down for Captain Fruchte and a detail of police. The crowd piled over the railing, yelling and hooting, and it looked ior a moment as though a general shooting affray would occur. Mr. Garesche endeavor to quell the turbulence of Mr. McBride, but the latter's feelings were wrought up to such a pitch that it was impossible to control hijn.

Tit for Tat.

Chambers' Journal. "One day," said this gentleman, "before harvest, I meta fashionably dressed person with a large handful of ears of wheat, taken from my fields. I saluted him respectfully, and expressed my admiration of the beauty of the wheat. 'Yes,' said he, 'it is truly a tine sample, and does the farmer great credit who grew it.' I acknowledged the compliment, and asked him from which of my fields he took it. After he pointed it out, he assured me he always liked to take a good sample home, as "it interested the ladies. Upon this, noticing with admiration the style of his coat, I asked him to allow me to look at the skirt. He readily did so, and I quietly took out my penknife and cut a large piece from the tail. The gentleman bounced and swore, but I told him I always took samples of cloth, as I found they greatly interested my wife. I added, that he bad no more right to take my wheat than I to take bis coat, and that I wished the public to bear this truth in mind." This was experience bought with a vengeance.

COMING HOME AT LAST.

[Harper's Weekly.]

The banishment was overlong, But It will soon be past: The man who wrote Home's sweetest song

Is coming home at last! For years his poor abode was seen In foreign lands alone, ... And waves have thundered loud between

The singer and his own. But he will soon be journeying To friends across the sea: And grander than any king

His welcome here shall be!

He wandered o'er the dreary earth, Forgotten and alone He who could teach Home's matchless worth

Ne'er had one of his own. 'Neath winter's cloud and summer's sun, Along the hilly road, He bore his great heart, and had none

To help him with the load And wheresoever in his round He went with weary tread, His sweet, pathetic song he found

Had floated on ahead!

IV.

He heard the melodies it made Come pealine o'er and o'er, From royal music bands that played

Before the palace door He heard its gentle tones of love From many a cottage creep, When tender, crooning mothers strove

To sing their babes to sleep And wheresoe'er true love had birth This thrilling song bad flown, But he who taught Home's- matchless worth

Had no home of his own.

v.

The banishment was overlong, But It will soon be past The man who wrote Home's sweetest song

Shall have a home at last! And he shall rest where laurels wave And fragrant grasses twine His sweetly kept and honored grave

Shall be a sacred shrine, And pilgrims with glad eyes grown dim Will fondly bend above The man who sung the triumph hymn

Of earth's divinest love. WII.I. CARLETOX.

DESERTED.

BY GEORGE FOIIDE.

Fondly uttered—lightly broken All those promises of thine, Softly muttered—sweetly spoken,

That you'd be forever mine. Buttlie shadow on the dial Ne'er more transient hath been Than the vows you whispered to me

At our last long-parting scene.

Ever faithful, yet oft fearful That thy heart would ne'er be mine Oft regretful, and forgetful

Of the blessings which were thine. Vet. when trials such as mine are Come to bear us down to earth, Can my thoughts be light as thine are?

Can sad grief be found with mirth

Oft forgotten, and neglected, Mid the merry ahd the gay: Others sought Tor, and selected,

When I ne'er did say thee nay. Yet I loved thee with a true love Earth could never once estrange Loved thee with a fevered passion

Time's rude hand could never change.

Fondly loved, yet rudely slighted (Better life had never been) Pleasure gone—affection blighted (Would I never thee had seen). Yet, though lost to me for ever,

And my heart bids me forget, Still—oh, still—I'll love thee ever,

Love thee dearly, love thee yet.

HIS PA AN JNVENT0R.

Peck's Sun. "Ha! Ila! Now I have got you, .•said the grocery man to the bad boy, the other morning, as he came in and jumped upon the counter and tied Hie the end of a ball of twine to the tail of a dog, and "sicked" the dog on another dog that was following a passing sleigh, causing the twine to pay out until the whole ball was scattered along the block. "Condemn you, I've a notion to choke the liver out of you. Who tied that twine to the dogs tail?"

The boy choked up with emotion, and the tears came into his eyes, and he said he didn't know anything about the twine or "the dog. He said Jie noticed the dog come in, and wag his tail around the twine, but he supposed the dog was a friend of the family, and did not disturb him. "Everybody lays everything that is done on me," said thu boy, as he put his handkerchief to his nose, "and they will be sorry for it when I die. I have a good notion to poison myself by eating some of your glucose sugar.

,fYes,

The boy looked interested, and put on an*expression as though in deep thought, and finally said, "I suppose the farmer that put up the sausage did not strain the dog meat. Sausage meat ought .to be strained."

The grocery man pulled in about half a block of twine, after the dog had run against the fence and broke it, and told the boy he knew perfectly well how the brass pad-lock came to be in the sausage, but thinking it was safer to have the good will of the boy than the ill ill, he -ollered him a handful of prunes. "No," says the boy, "I have swore ofl' on mouldy prunes. I am no kindergarten any more. For years I have eaten rotten peaches around this store, and everything you couldn't sell, but 1 have turned over a new leaf now, and after this nothing is too good for me. Since pa has got to be an inventor we are going to live high." "What's your pa invented? 1 saw a hearse and three hacks go up on yonr street the other day, and 1 thought maybe you had killed your pa." "Not much. There will be more than three hacks when I kill pa, and don't you forget it. Well, sir, pa has struck a fortune, if he can make the thing work. He has got an idea about coal stoves that will bring him in several million dollars, if lie gets a royalty of five dollars on every coal stove in the world. His idea is to have a coal stove on castors, with the pipe made to telescope out and in, and rubber liose for one joint, so you can pull the stove all around the room and warm any particular place. Well, sir, to hear pa tell about it, you would think it would revolutionise the country, and maybe it will when lie gets if perfected, but he came near burning the house up, and scared us all hah to death this morning, and burned his shirt ofl", and he is all covered with cotton with sweet oil on, and he smells like salad dressing. You see pa had a pipe made and some castors put on our coal stove, and he tied a rope to the hearth of the stove, and had me put in some kindling wood and coal last night, so he could draw the stove up to the bed and light the fire without getting up. Ma told him he would put his foot in it, and he told her to dry up, and let him run the stove business. He said it took a man with brain to run a patent right, and ma she pulled the clothes over her head and let pa do the fire act. She has been building the fires for twenty years, and thought she would let pa see how good it was. Well pa pulled the stove to the bed, and touched off the kindling wood. I guess maybe I got a bundle of the kindling wood that the hired girl had put kerosene on, cause it blazed up awful and smoked, and the blaze bursted out the doors and windows of the stove, and pa yelled fire, and I jumped out of bed and rushed in and he was the scartest man you ever see, and you'd a dide to see how he kicked when I threw a pail of water on his legs and put his shirt out. Ma did not get burned, but she was pretty wet, and she told pa the would pay the five dollare royalty on the stove and take the castors oft "and

that is mean. The other day a lady oame in and told me to send up to her house some of my country sausage, done up in muslin bags, and while she was examining it she noticed something hard inside the bags, and asked me what it was, and^I opened it, and I hope to die if there wasn't a little brass pad-lock und a piece of red morocco dog-collar imbedded in the sausage. Now, how do you suppose that got in there?" and the grocery man looked savage.

let it remain stationary. Pa says he SCIIM K31 ANN'S will make it work if Le burns the house down. I think it was real mean in pa to get mad at me because I threw cold water on him instead of warm water, to put his shirt out. If I had waited till I could heat'water to the right temperature I would have been an orphan and pa would have been a burnt offering. But some men always kick at everything. Pa has given up business entirely and says he shall devote the remainder of his life curing himself of the different troubles that get him into. He has retained a doctor by the year, and he buys liniment by the gallon." "What was it about your folks getting up in the night to eat? The hired girl was oyer here after some soap the other morning, and she said she was going to leave your house." "Well, that was a picnic. Pa said he wanted breakfast earlier than vre had been in the habit of having it, and he said I might see to it that the house was awake early enough. The other night I awoke with the awfulest pain you ever heard of. It was that night that you give me and my chum the bottle of pickled oysters that had begun to work.

Well, tcouldn't sleep, and I thought I would call the hired girls, and they got up and got breakfast to going, and then I rapped on pa and ma's door and told them the breakfast was getting cold, and they got up and came down. We eat breakfast by gas light, and pa yawned and said it made a man feel good to get up and get ready for work before daylight, the way he used to on the faring and ma she yawned and agreed with pa, 'cause she has to, or have a row. After breakfast we sat around for an hour, and pa said it was along time getting daylight, and bimeby pa looked at his watch. When he begun to pull out his watch I lit out and hid in the store room, and pretty soon I heard pa and ma come up stairs and go to bed ana then the hired girls they went to bed, and when it was all still, and the pain had stopped inside of my clothes, I went to bed, and I looked to see what time it was, and it was two o'clock in the morning. Wre got dinner at eight o'clock in the morning, and pa said he guessed he would call up the house after this, so 1 have lost another job, and it was all on account of that bottle of pickled oysters you gave me. My chum says he had colic, too, but he didn't call up his folks. It was all he could do to get up hisself. Why don't you sometimes give away something that isn't spiled?'

The grocery man said he guessed he knew what to give away, and the boy went out and hung up a sign in front of the grocery, that lie had made on wrapping paper with red chalk, which read, ''Rotten eggs, good enough for custard pies, for 18 cents a dozen."

Charles R.Tliorne's DyiiiuKequcst About His Funeral Ceremonies. New York Special.

One day about twelve years ago Charles R. Thorne, jr., Stuart Robson and Robert Craig were discussing the quiet burial of Charles Dickens, and fell to talking about unpleasant funeral sermons that had been preached over actors. Craig said that he would have no clergyman speak at his fu neral. "It was there," Mr. Robson said, "that Thorne, Craig and I a compact that whoof us survived the others or another should do what could be done to keep the preachers away from the funeral. Thorne went to Europe. Ciai« died suddenly. His family insisted on having the usual religious services at the funeral. I told them of Craig's well-known wish in the matter, but they insisted. The minister who conducted the service was an educated man, but he had all tlie prejudices more common in his profession then than now, and he be gan to make an apology for the evil which this young man had committed in adopting a profession that had so many evil associations, while his falonte in on honorable calling might have brought him great honor. He thought he was justified in asserting that in spite of this Mr. Craig might have a hope of heaven. I told Thorne this when he returned from Europe, and it increased his feelings against such proceedings. He said he did not wish all sorts of people to be running to his. funeral at the Little Church Around the Corner, just because he was an actor, and the last word he said to his wife was: 'No preacher, tell Rob.' In accordance with this wish of Mr. Thorne, his funeral wits conducted early in the morning. The coffin, covered with black cloth, lay in the center of the room. The face "of the actor was exposed.

Mr. Robson then read this telegram from Kobt. G. Ingersoll: "Say what your heart prompts. A few tears, a few words, it few flowers, are all that the living can give to the dead. The tragedy has ended, the curtain has fallen. Applause cannot lift it again, but memory and hope remain. Give my sincere sympathy to those who^weep.' The pall-bearers lifted the coffin into the hearse, which was driven to the Grand Central depot. The 10:30 o'clock a. m. train bore it to Woodlawn cemetery, Here, without any words, it was placed in a receiving vault.

Tom Corwin's Fatal Speech. Washington Letter to the Louisvillee Courier-Journal.

Isaac E. Crary, of Michigan, was a native of Connecticut. After obtaining license to practice law he emigrated to the territory of Michigan, and was soon appointed a general of militia. In 18o5 he was elected a delegate to congress from that territory. Michigan being admitted into the union as a state in 18:50, Gen. Crary was elected a representative to congress as a Democrat, and was continued in that body until the -1th of March, 1841. He died in 1854. In the memorable presidential canvass of 1840 Gen. Crary made a speech in the house, in which lie criticised the mititary career of Gen. Harrison. Tom Corwin replied to him, and such a reply! Even the Democratic members could not refrain from bursts of laughter. When ho got through there was very little of poor Crary left. I heard it all, and shall never forget the scene. Judge East, of Nashville, Tenn., at the close of the late unpleasantness, was introduced to Mr. Corwin in Washington. One of the first tilings he said to him was: "I have your speech in answer to Gen. Crary in nw desk at home, and I take it out once*a year and read it." "That is the only speech I eyer made," replied Corwin, "that I regret." "I cannot see why you regret it," responded East, "for I think it is the best speech I ever read." "I regret it," answered Corwin, "because it killed ofl' a very clever fellow."

His Excavations on the Spot Where IIlam Stood for a Thousand Years. London Times.

ATHENS, January 20.—In a letter' headed "The Arcba?ological Discoveries in the Levant," d.ited Athens, 18th ult., and published in the Times of the 10th inst., it is stated that "the resumption of my excavations at Hissarlik has failed to develop anything confirmatory of my I ban hypothesis, and that the famous stratification of civilization which was supposed to testify to the extreme antiquity of the city is shown t^ be untenable." The anonymous writer is evidently no archaeologist moreover he does not speak of my excavations from personal inspection, nor does he seem to have the slightest knowledge of what has been written on the subject since August last.

I excavated in 1882 for five months —namely, from March 1 till August 1, employing all the time 150 laborers, and aided by two of the most eminent architects of Europe, Mr. J. Ilofler of Vienna, and Dr. AY in. Dopfeld of Berlin, the latter of whom superintended for four years the technical part of the excavations of the German empire at Olympia. Not only have these excavations been no failure, but, on the contrary, they have yielded far more important results than all my previous excavations at Hissarlik since 1870. The success of five prehistoric and two later settlements as given by me in "Ilios," is confirmed by my architects (see Dr. Dorpfeld's letter in the .IJ/J/Sburger Allgcmeine Zeitung of September 29, 1S82, and an extract of it in the Academy of August 14) who have, however, proved to me that the enormous masses of calcined debris, which I had attributed to the third city, really belong to the second city, which perished in some fearful catastrophe, and which had on the hill of Hissarlik only its Pergamus, with five or six edifices of very large dimensions, while its lower city extended east, south and west on the plateau.

WTe have excavated most carefully all the buildings of the Acropolis, among which two, of very large proportions and with walls respectively 1 meter 45 and 1 meter 25 thick, seem to us, for many reasons, to be temples. Nothing could better prove the great antiquity of these buildings than the fact that they were built of unbaked bricks, and that the walls had been baked in situ by huge masses of wood piled upon both sides ot each wall and kindled simultaneously each of these buildings has a vast vestibulum, and each of the front faces of the lateral walls is provided with six vertical quadrangular beams, which stood on well-polished liases, the lower part of which was preserved, though, of course, in a calcined state. We, therefore, see that in these ancient Trojan temples the untie or parastades, which in later Hellenic temples fulfilled only a technical purpose, served here as an important element of construction, for they were intended to protect the wall ends and to render them capable of supporting the ponderous weight of the super-incumbent crossbeams and the terrace. We found similar primitive ant.r in the two other edifices, and at the lateral walls of the northwestern gate.

We also found that the great wall of the ancient Acropolis has been built of unbaked bricks, and had been baked like the temple, walls in eilit. I lay stress on on the fact that a similar process of baking entire walls has never yet been discovered, and that, the onto in the Hellenic temples are nothing else than reminiscences of the wooden antm of old, which were of important constructive use. We discovered in the Acropolis of the second city three large gates, all of which led down to the lower city. Homer knew of only one gate at Troy (the Sctean, sometimes also called the Dardanian Gate), but- tnis was on u.c, went side of the lower city the gates of the Pergamus are never mentioned in the poems. The three prehistoric settlements which succeeded each other in the calcined ruins of the Acropolis were poor and insignificant, and none of them extended beyond the hill of Hissarlik. The ruins of the lower city therefore, remained deserted for ages, the brick crumbled awav, and the stones of the walls served the newsettlers of Hissarlik for building their houses, or, as the legend ran (see Strabo, xiii, 509), they were used for building the walls of Sigeum.

A full account of this, my last Trojan campaign, with excellent plans and about 200 engravings of the most curious finds, will be published by Mr. John Murray. 1II:NKY SCIU.IKMAN\\\

ROBBING AN EDITOR.

Tlie Story of Coimclenee-Strii'Uen Freebooter. Virginia City Enterprise. "Listen, my children," said a venerable man, "and I will tell you a story, beautiful and true. Once upon a lime there was a bad, bold robber, who had his haunt in the wilds of a mountain. At the foot of the mountain in the valley, was a village. It was not a very large village, yet in it a newspaper was printed. The robber looked upon the editor of the newspaper as being the chief man of the village, and thought he must be very rich. So one dark night became down from his den in the mountain and stole into the dwelling of the editor, and then into the rooni,wherc he slept. The editor, being a good man, slept as soundly and sweetly as a child. The robber searched all the place, but could not find the caskets of gold and diamonds he had supposed to be stored up in the room. He then put his hands in all pockets of the clothes of the editor, but found no money in any of them. The robber then stood for a time as in a stupor. He was like one awakened from a dream. He listened

Rails have been laid upon the ground, which is visible at low water, and over them roll the wheels of the great iron skeleton which supports the platform of the bridge. The movement is by traction, a small steam engine on onff side of the harbor working a cable attached to the frame of the bridge. The tide rises very high at St. Malo. so that when it is up but little of the bridge's support seen, and its rapid ng across the of human and

Well, when he came out of his faint, and his eyes saw all the money lyiug about the room where it had fallen, he was sorely perplexed. At last he felt sure it had been quietly placed in his pocket in the night bv a great and rich neighbor, who owned a tanyard and was running for the legislature. So for days and days he pnntr ed in his paper wrhole columns of praise of the rich neighbor, who was elected to the olfice, and ever after the two men were the greatest of friends.

It was a ques tion of repairs to be made, and. the senator explained what he wanted to have done. The proprietor listened attentively and promised to have everything done. Six o'clock struck. "Six o'clock already," said the landlord. "Exactly," replied M. de Rumilly "but that doesn't matter, for I hope you will do me the honor of dining with me." "You are very kind," replied the landlord, "but— ,'I insist I shall not let you leave at this hour your plate is already laid." "It is impossible." "I shall be angry." "It is impossible, notwithstanding the desire I have to remain. My affairs call me elsewhere at precisely this hour." "You do not wish to share my dinner?" said the senator, slightly vexed. "You will understand why. They

A Hint to the Girls.

The newest parlor game at Laramie, W. T., where woman suffrage has been established, was invented by the ladies of that region. The girls sit in one room in a row, with a chair in front of each one. The young men are stationed in another room, and are brought in one by one. When he comes in the youth chooses his chair and the young lady behind him blinds his eves with a handkerchief. Then the \slack cook comes in, kisses him and disappears. The young man is released, feeling much refreshed and elated, and promptly retires to the other end of the room. His feelings when the next young man comes in and is treated to this novel entertainment can be imagined, but they are mitigated by the pleasure of seeing the other fellows undergoing the experiment. As a winter evening amusement it is one of the most popular in Wyoming.

The site was in later times occupied by the yEolic Ilium, which stood for more than 1,000 years, but nevertheless the traces of the ancient burnt city have not been obliterated the huge An Old Friend in a New Triumph masses of prehistoric pottery, perfectly identical with, that of the second city on the Pergamus, which were found in the extensive excavations made by me on the lower plateau, testify to its existence on that spot. Its existence seems further to be proved by the vertical wall represented in "Ilios," p. 24, N. 2 13., as well as by the three gates, and above all by the ground plan and the number of loose edifices in the Pergamus. I have nowexcavated the latter entirely, and for this reason alone the excavations at Troy must be considered as terminated forever. I have also excavated seven more of the conical tumuli, called heroic tombs, and have thoroughly explored the ancient city on the heights of Hunarbashi, as well as the sites of four other ancient towns.
