New Discoveries Made at Mycenx by Dr. Schliemann.

Db. Sen mem Ann, writing under date of Athena, Feb. 1, report* to u* some new discoveries at Mycenae. He *ays: “My engineer, Lieut. Vaailioe Droeino*. of Nanplia, having returned on Sunday, the 21st of January, in Mycenae, in company of a painter who had to make for me a painting of the five sepulchres, he (Droabos)ln verifying the plana he had t'tnads for me.AouAht he recognized imrf row of i^c^antingalabs dfe cytlfSeatl wal which appport* the said cfouMe raw. Wthe Hte*L6y the 'large cyclopean house so often mentioned in my letters to the Timet, and to the east by the natural rock, which is here only three feet high and vertically cut. I had excavated this place to a depth of twenty-six feet without noticing that there was a tomb, because its nofth side* is cut hardly one foot deep into the lock, and on the south and west aides it i* nuF rock-cut wt all. But since my departure from Myceme the heavy rains had brought to light the edge of the rock-cut north side, and my engineer, having noticed this, at once suspected that another sepulcher was hidden there. “ The first blow of the pickax brought to liKhrttte bottom of the tomb, for the dentil of iubbish lefk in it did not exceed jVitJjf the .second blow a golden vessel came to light, and in less than half an hour the following objects were gathered: First, four large golden goblets with two handles —the one being seven and tvo-teafh inches, the other six, and four-tenth inches ip heigls; each of the eight handles is ‘ ■ with a dog’s head; the four goblets weigh about four pounds; second, a small golden vessel only two inches high.; third, a golden sealing-ring of file same form and size as those 1 have discovered in the fourth sepulcher; the Best represents in magnificent iptagtfo the .following objects- To the left from the spectator is a palm tree, under which is sitting a splendidly-dressed woman, stretching out her left hand, and holding her right on her knees. Before her stands another woman, who extends both hands; to#&kd*''her. Behind the standing woman stand two much taller womel ijif drosses, of, whom the one offers three poppies to the seated woman i thoz>fflqr tall womap bolds similar poppies In lief hand. Beyond the two tkd.gemen i ßte»d* another woman, and a Merwbniaiittinds behlfad the palm tree, and extends both hands toward the sitting woman. Just above the seated woman and the talk woman who offers her the poppies is some curious emblem, resembling the double shield of the warriors on one of the gold rings of the fourth tomb. To the right of the palm tree appears the sea, frota tehich rises the sun in full spiendof, ih4 rayß being represented with infinite art, f .Near the sun rises the crescent of the koon. On seeing this marvelous ring we ipnoluntarily exclaimed: ‘ This tthg *mhst have been seen by our friend Homer befftre he described all the wood** wfikh Hephtestos wrought on Achillas’ shield, which jthe Earl of Derby translated by—- “ Thereon were figured earth, sad sky, end sea, E ttlm evee-ciMfing rfISV »*d fnll-orbed moon. r Aid all UMilMsiekatstown the vault ot heaven: Pleiads find Hyads, and Orion’s might.

Another .golden ring of the same shape, but smaller; it has apparently been much used, and, of the six objects which are engraved on the seal, only three cow-heads can be distinctly seen, the other three objects “Cannot be distinguished. Five. Five golden rings without seals. Six. A similar one of silver. Seven. »A email golden wire, on which sitjugbldeij llbn.. flight. Seven objects of round gold wire of spiral form. Ten. Fourth rtJudd golden f heads of a necklace. Later researches "have proved that the sepulcher, too, contained bones and ashes. The Mycenaean antiquities ean leave no doubt in the mind of anyone that -the Rt.-Hon. W. E. Gladstone was 'perfectly right ip maintaining that Homer was anAjohaihnf’.i—London Timet.

seen, their powers of observation will be found to have been singularly circumscribed, and their memories singhlarly treacherous. The culprits are thus, if not encouraged, yet connived at, and perhaps go on from Dad to worse, till they are ruined; their companions are suspected and compromised, and perhaps demoralised ; their employers are robbed, and no one is really benefited by acts which, if the honest workman would simply resolve at all costs should not be done, would not be done. Eveu when thieves have run all the hazards of their craft, and have securely possessed themselves of the property of others, they are seldom really enriched. Il is “ easy come, easy gb” with those who rob railways. They prey upon others ; but others prey upon them. Many an illustration might be given, but one will suffice. A certain railway porter had stolen a roll of ribbed trouser cloth, and fearing to keep it in his possession, resolved to dispose of it to a Jew tailor, who was known not to be unwilling to purchase such articles at a low figure. On entering the shop with his bundle he was cordially received by the clothier, who guessed the nature of his errand. “ And vaat can I do for you, my tear ?” the man of business tenderly inquired. “Well, you see—l’m a porter, and I’ve got a bit of cloth, you know, that I came lucky by” (a technical term). “Quite right, my tear; and ow mootch have you got? and ow mootch do you want for It?” “ Well, I don’t know,” replied the porter, “ you see I haven’t measured it, but I want the most I can get for it.” “ All right,” said the Jew, and then looking sideways through his shop wiqdow down the street, he suddenly exclaimed: “I say, man, koot, koot!” “What do you mean?" urged the impressed vender. “ Koot your stick,” continued tha Jew, “ through my back door, and run your hardest, the police are coming,” and he lifted up the movable lid of nis counter to facilitate the escape of the porter, who, leaving his ill-gotten wealth upon the counter, was not slow to avail himself of the advice given, and who felt considerable relief when, having passed through the kitchen and yard of the clothier, he found himself in another street, safe out of harm’s way, and no policeman in sight. Next day, nothing doubting, the porter called again, and alter passing and repassing to make sure the Jew was within, entered the shop. “ Good morning,” said the porter. “ Good morning, young man,” returned the Jew, with a little reserve of manner, “ Vaat can 1 do for you?” “Oh, I called about that bit of stuff, you know.” “ Bit of vaat?” inquired the Jew. “ The bit of cloth I left here yesterday —you remember?”——■ - “ Bit of cloth you left here yesterday ?" returned the man of business, with an air of what our French friends call ‘ pre-oo-cupation ’ and reserve, “ Vaat ao you mean, young man ?” “ Why, you know," continued the porter, with emphasis, “ I brought a bit of cloth yesterday to Bell you—a bit I’d come luckv by.” “ Vaat, to my haus—you brought it here ? Vy, I never see you before In ma life I Tell me vaat you mean ?”

So the maa repeated in emphatic words how that he had come the day before with a roll of cloth, how that he was going to sell it, and that they were talking about the price when they were interrupted by a policeman passing along the street, and “ you know,” he added, “ I left the cloth just here and went out the back way through your house and yard.” But so monstrous an imputation upon his reputation the Jew could no longer resist. “ Judith, my tear,” he called out at the top of his voice to his daughter. “Judith, my tear, fetch a policeman; here is a railway porter who has robbed his master, and wants to bring disgrace upon a respectable tradesman!” And Judith hied herself out into the street in apparently hot pursuit of a minister of justice. There was no time to be lost. The terrified railway servant performed a strategic movement down the street in the opposite direction, leaving behind him forever his ill-gotten spoils in the possession of the tender-hearted, and scrupulous Israelite. —London paper..

The Unfashionable Bonnet.

The grace of “good manners” includes both self-respect and social respect; and it is a duty as well as an accomplishment. Fun-making at & fellow-being’? expense is a violation of the Golden Rule, which many even well-meaning and well taught people thoughtlessly commit, apparently forgetting that it is really a part of Christian character to be generously considerate of others’feeiings. One day, about fifty years ago, when John Quincy Adams was President of the United States, an excellent and cultivated lady, journeying in her carriage, stopped at a hotel in Batavia, Western Npw York. She was plainly dressed, and one not knowing her, or unacquainted with her and rare social graces, might have judged her to be quite an ordinary sort of person. In those times, as now, the kind of critics who estimate people entirely according to the clothes they have on, were sufficiently numerous, and it appears that several of them were stopping that day at the same hotel. It was noon, and the guest* were already dining, and having little time to make an elegant toilet, even if she had been so disposed, the lady placed her bonnet on the parlor table and went in to dinner. When she returned she found the parlor occupied by a merry wedding party, who had seized upon her bonnet, and, in all the abandon of frolicsome mirth, were making game of it. One young beau of the party poised it on the point of his cane, and played mock auctioneer. “What do I hear, ladies —bow much; how much for this rare and beautiful calotte ala prineette, only a month from *4rie, and positively the newest mode; fifty francs; give me seventy-five, seventyfive; going, and who takes it at seventyfive; going, going,”—and of course the bidaiflg on the part of the rest was quite lively enough to carry out the farce. The lady stood a minute, waiting, with a good-natured smile. Presently, she said quietly to the young man: “ I’ll take the bonnet off your hands if you cannot get a satisfactory offer for it.” The auctioneer thereupon tossed the article to her with a .lofty state and a stiff bow, and coolly put'ting Hbn her head, the lady" entered her carriage and rode away. The young people had their fan, and thought no more of it, though some of them, noticing a certain superior dignity in the owner of the unfashionable bonnet, went so far as to wonder who “that woman” was. Next day the same wedding party, on their way to Niagara Falls, stopped at Black Rock to pay their respects to Gen. Porter, United States Secretary of War, and were invited to dine with him at his house. When Mrs. Porter, the lady of the mansion, came forward to welcome them they .stood aghast. “Tliat woman” whose bonnet they had made game of whs

the wife of one of President Adams’ Cabinet Ministers. Fancy how Mrs. Porter’s splendid hospitality heaped coals of fire on their heads —and especially on the head of the young man who played auctioneer at the Batavia hotel. , Il ij;; I But their rudeness would have been none the less Inexcusable if they had shown it to an inferior Instead of a superior, and mortified another worse than they did themselves. — Watchman.

An Insurance Agent Oatcheeked.

Only once since the first syllable of recorded time has a peaceful, law-abiding citizen got ahead of alife-insuranceagent. It is needless to remark that he was a Chicago man. He was naturally mild and inoffensive, but much meditation on the wrongs the race have suffered at the cheek of the canvasser had turned the . milk of human kindness in his bosom into gall, and he planned a deadly revenge. He selected as the victim who should expiate the wrongs of his kind a full-sized canvasser who stood at the veiy top of his nefarious profession, who was, in fine, a head and cheek over his rivals, and dropped him a line, stating that he thought of insuring his life, and containing a Macedonian cry to come over to his office and take his application. The canvasser smiled in fiendish glee, and, hastily cramming his pockets with tables of expectations of life, rates, tontines, survivals of the fittest, annual reports, and other deadly weapons, hurried over to the avenger’s office. Thfe avenger had dodged out, leaving a notice that he would return at S :15, and, as soon as he had seen the canvasser read It and make an entry in his memor-andum-book, he just went back to his office and remained there peacefully till five, when he locked up and went home. The canvasser arrived a few minutes later, and roosted on the steps till the janitor turned him out and closed the building. After three days of this work the avenger relented so far as to admit the doomed agent to his presence, and they occupied two days in discussing the subject in all its ramifications, inspecting the certificate of 'die Secretary of State, ciphering out the annual reports to see if the four and one-half per cent, rest was adequate to reinsure the policies, finding out the percentage of expenses, and generally auditing the books of the company. By this time the agent knew every knot in the staircases and floor by sight, and people who saw him going in and out so frequent ly thought he had an office in the building. Then the avenger made out an application for a $5,000 policy for life, with participation in the profits, premium payable quarterly. The canvasser thought he had him now, but he hadn’t, for the avenger kept the medical examiner traveling between the company’s office and his own for nearly two weeks, till his feet were blistered and his boots half worn out He would make an appointment with the doctor for'ten a. m., put the clock forward twenty minutes, and skip over to the doctor’s office, meeting him on the road, and leave a note to say he had waited until 10:20, and seeing nothing of him had gone to his (the doctor’s) (mice, but missed him there. At last he gave the doctor a chance, and before they could make out the policy, went up to Minnesota to spend Christmas with his girl’s friends. From there he wrote to the agent that on mature deliberation he had made up his mind to take a SIO,OOO fifteen-year endowment policy on the tontine plan, if it was net too fate- The agent, who knew his commission would be doubled, smiled away back to his ears, and kad the policy canceled and another one prepared. The avenger returned to Chicago on the 12th of January, and kept the agent’s time fully occupied till the 7th of February before the policy was ready few delivery. Then he discovered dial they had made a mistake of a year m. his age, and that carried him along to the fflth. Then he told the agent that, in view of the disclosures of the rottenness of the Eastern companies, ne didn’t think it prudent to insure in aDy of them till the fullest investigation had been made and he was satisfied of the security of the agent’s institution. “ However,” said he. “ 1 have put you to a lot of trouble, so let me pay yon what your commission would have been,” and he took out a roll of greenbacksu The agent was unable to speak for nearly three minutes ; then, being deceived by the meek and lamb-like appearance of the avenger, he angrily declared that there existed a contract between the avenger and the company, anU if there was any law in the land— “ See here, my friend,” observed the avenger, as he put the money back into his vest-pocket, “I made you a fair offer. I might throw you out of that window; yon would be killed and I would be triumphantly acquitted and probably nominated for Mayor or Congressman, but I will not. I simply touch this button, at which, thanks to the wondrous power of electricity, a police officer starts from the A. D. T. Co.’s headquarters with a pistol in one hand and a club in the other, and his coat-tails standing straight behind hies imsa the wedocity of his passage. 1 give you in charge for trespass; you pass the night in the deepest dungeon beneath the station-moat, and to-morrow are fined twenty-five dollars and costs, or fifty-three days.” “Not much,’’ hissed the agent, “ for before the Magistrate I will tell the whole story and cover you with shame as a swindling trickster. ” “ Scarcely, ’ ’ replied the avenger, “ for you will be publishing to the universe the fact that you were overreached, circumvented and taken in; your character for shrewdness will be utterly destroyed; you will be unable to obtain employment anywhere, and, finally, will perish miserably peddling combined canopeners, lid-lifters and toasting-forks up on the West Side.” The baffled agent saw that this was the truth, and skipped out, turning on the avenger as he went a look of malevolence, while the avenger calmly proceeded to figure out the extent of his victory as follows: Time of agent, 263 hoars, at $1 an hour, during which he walked 32D>£ miles and climbed 16}4 miles of stairs $263 Time of doctor, 42 honn, at same rate 42 Clerical labor in drawing-up policies.. 3 KTn.mina.tinn fees to surgeon 10 Mental worry of agent 500 Total SBIB And all this keen Intellectual pleasure, extending over a period of nearly three months, cost him no more than the trouble of signing JAis name two or three times and three or four hohrs of friendly conversation ! —Chicago Tribune.

Butter your saucepan, put In sugar, molasses and milk, boil fifteen minutes; add butter and flour, stirred to a cream, and boil five minutes longer, then add the chocolate grated, and boil until quite thick. Butter tin flat pans, and pour in the mixture, half an inch thick, and mark it in squares before it gets hard in cooling.

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

Ashes. —Do not allow ashes of any kind to be wasted. It will pay to haul leached sshee several miles, when one has his own team and a laborer at fair wages. Coal ashes, when spread around berry bushes of snvsort,or around grape Tinea, will aid materially in producing large and fair fruit.— Gardener’t Monthly. Improvements. —Look about the premises for opportunities to make improve, mente. If everything has been done to your liking, all right. But in most instances one can discover in what res pest several improvements can be made. Would It not Improve your surroundings to grade up with mellow dirt some of the low places about the house and barn and to put out a few more shade trees? Stains on marble can usually be removed by a mixture of one ounce of soda, a piece of stone lime the size of a walnut, quarter of a pound of whiting* and the some amount of soft soap. Boil these together ten or fifteen minutes, and then put the mixture on the marble while hot. Leave this on twenty-four hours, then wash off with clean warm water, and polish, first with soft flannel and then with chamois skin. —Ohriitian Union.

Lawns—As soon in the growing season as the ground is sufficiently dry to admit of its being worked without injury to its fertility, make new lawns and repair old ones. A mellow and rich surface generously seeded is ail that is requisite to produce a dense growth of grass. If the surface is uneven, it is sometimes more economical to fill the depressions With rich dirt, and sow in the bare places, than to spade or plow the plot and reseed where there is a tough sod. Timber.—ls trees were cut down last autumn, or during the winter, do not allow the logs to remain unsawn or not spilt until warm weather. To render tough timber still more tough and firm let the boards or plank or other pieces be placed in water where they will soak through and through. If allowed to soak a mouth all the better. Then remove the lumber and “stick it up” properly, and good timber will be hard and tough and worms will never work in it.— Exchange. Many complain that birds strip the buds off their gooseberry bushes. Never prune until the bushes are bursting into leaf, and you will always have heavy crops. It Is a good practice to get work as forward as possible during the winter, but some discretion should be exercised as to the right and wrong subjects to be dealt with, or more harm than good may ensue. As regards keeping birds from destroying buds the best remedy is powder and shot. All kinds of guards, except close netting, are useless.—Horticultural Exchange.

Docks.—ls one is located near a pond of water he can raise a hundred ducks at a small expense. To prevent laying the eggs in water, or dropping them where they are liable to be lust, keep the ducks confined in a spacious yard until after they have laid, or until the after part of the day. Duckß are so fond of remaining in the water that they will often drop their eggs in a deep pond or in the running brook. After a duck has laid a given number of eggs, and wants to set, let her be tethered at the margin of the water until she will not return to her nest. After a few days, if fed generously, she will commence laying more eggs. Kindling wood is always in demand. No one need fear that more will be prepared than can be consumed in an economical manner. Hence, cut every old hoop into short pieoes and split up every piece of worthless board aQd pile them up neatly beneath some shelter. .Never allow old boxes, old tubs, old barrels that are ever ready to tumble down, nor other rubbish, to accumulate in the cellar, attic or barn. Reduce all such useless articles to kindling wood, and thus keep the premises clear of old things that will never subserve a better purpose than fuel. Wood cut and split fine and properly dried is often more convenient and economical In hot weather than coal, especially when one needs but little fire.— N. T. Herald ,

Housing of Cattle.

It is a question whether cattle thrive best in sheds with yards, in stalls or in boxes. The determination of tills question would settle -the problem of construction of barns; for if more profit were certainly derived by the farmer in feeding his cattle in sheds with yards than in stalls or boxes, not only would no more stalls and boxes he erected, but those in use would be converted into sheds; and this determination would so materially change the form of barns as to abolish confined inclosurea, embraced within quadrangles, and throw open apartments to the influence of the sun at the only season these are required—viz., in winter. Some facte have been decided regarding the comparative effects of sheds and stalls upon cattle. Cattle are much clean!?, in sjieds than in stalls. JN o doubt they might be kept clean in stalls; but not being so, there must be some obstacle to cleanliness incidental to stall management ; and it consists, we presame, in the attendant finding himself more unable to keep beasts clean in stalls than in sheds; otherwise the facts are not easily to be accounted for, for he takes no special care to keep beasts in sheds and yards clean. Perhaps when cattle have liberty to lie down where they please, they may choose the driest, because the most comfortable spot; whereas, in a stall, they must lie down upon what may be beneath them. There is another advantage derived from sheds with yards—the hair of cattle never scalds off the skin, nor becomes short and smooth, but remains long and mossy, and is licked over, and washed clean by rain, until it is naturally ca*t in the spring; and this advantage is felt by cattle when sent to market in winter, where they withstand wet and cold better than those which have been kept tied up in stalls. A third advantage is, that cattle from sheds can travel the road without injury to their feet, being accustomed to move about. It is said in favor of stalls that they accommodate more cattle on the same space, and are therefore less expensive to erect at first than buildings without stalls. That in a given space more beasts are accommodated in buildings with stalls, there is no doubt—and there is as Rule that more beasts are put into such places than should be—but we have great doubts that it will cost more to accommodate a given number of cattle in sheds with yard? than in buildings with stalls; because t eCs can be constructed in a temporal;, form, at a moderate outlay, wherea? e barn with stalls cannot be formed) • let rate, and,even in the more costly h i p f of roofs and walls, the sheddings require, comparatively to a bam, a ■mailer stretch of roof; and it is well known that it is the roof, and not the bare walls, that constitutes the most costly part of the bam. We believe it is the general opinion of agriculturists that cattle improve quicker, or, in other words,

thrive better, in oomforUble, walled-tn abode with yards than in close buildings with stalk. As to the comparative advantage of feeding cattle in sheds and boxes, there is no doubt that boxes afford ranch better accommodation than stalls. Although, under a roof, boxes are not so heating to cattle as stalls, at)d they are more cleanly; but being constantly under cover, cattle do not stand transportation as well as from the she#* with yards, and their skin is never in sotresh a state. Theoretically, it is maintained that cattle must thrive better when under cover in a warm place, than where the atmospheric sold carries off animal heat Exposure to cold, and especially to draughts, must retard the progressive growth of cattle; but in properly-appointed sheds they are never so exposed, being sheltered around, and having a comfortable shed at their command night and day. Practically, we cannot believe that constant heat, as in stables with stalls, can so conduce to the health and condition of cattle, as when they have fresh air, sunlight and heat; rain on their skin, warmth In their sheds, freedom from draughts, and constant companionship, so as to have liberty to lick one another with that health giving organ, the cow’s rough-surfaced tongue: and without doubt, the milk and the beef of such cattle is in the most wholesome and perfect state. —Prairie Farmer.
