NHUEliRIPS BlSCOYEMBft. A Mew World of Splendid Band-Had* At- tery Brought to Light, The German correspondent of fhe London Times sends the following from Leipsic: Dr. Schliemann is so busy in clearing the tombe on tlie Acropolis of Myoenie, and in carefully arranging the treasures which he has brought to light, that he has no time at present to write a full account of his rtisooverie*, " I would require more than a week," he writes, " to prepare even a superficial description of the treasures here col- • lected." It is perhaps not generally known that the excavations at Mycenae are carried on at the sole expense of Dr. Schliemann, while everything that is found by him goes to the Greek Gov­ ernment, to be deposited in a National Museum of Ancient Art at Athens. In a letter dated Nov. 19 Dr. Schliemann writes: "In a depth of seven and one-Half meters (twenty-five feet) I yesterday brought to light three more enormous tombs, all out in the rock, which will have to be emptied this week. How / great the veneration of the people of Myeense wsis for all these sepulchers cannot be better shown than by the ancient tombstones which I found three feet to six feet I»elow those of which I wrote to you before. When the primi­ tive tombstones had for ages been, hidden by the accumulations of rubbish, their site was, nevertheless, so accurately re- > membered by tradition that the new monuments (which are probably of the thirteenth century B. 0.) were erected • exactly on the same spot. All the pot­ tery found within two meters (six and one-half feet) above those rock-cut tombs is made by hand, lustrous black inside and out, or light green or red, with rude black or dark red ornamentation of cir­ cles and spiral lines." » In another letter, dated Mycenae, Nov. 21, he says : •• I beg leave to send you a drawing of a gold cup and a gold dia­ dem, as well as of a bronze lance found to-day in the tomb marked by the bas- relief of the two serpents. In, on and about these tombs a new world of splen­ did hand-made pottery comes to light, and a vast number of obsidian knives. I am just going to open a sepulcher of enormous proportion's. At a certain height above it there stands a cyclopean artificial altar. I expect to find treas­ ures beneath it." He writes again, under date of Nov. 24 : " There are now in all five tombs. In the smallest of them I found yester­ day the bones of a man and a woman, covered by at least five kilogrammes of ornaments of pure gold, with the most wonderful archaic impressed ornaments. Even the smallest leaf is covered with them. To-day I emptied the tomb, and jtill gathered tnere more than six-tenths of a kilogramme of beautifully orna­ mented gold leaves; also many earrings and ornaments representing an altar with two birds.. One earring represents Her­ cules skying the lion. There were found two scepters with wonderfully chiseled crystal handles, and many large gold and bronze vessels. I had hardly touched the second tomb when I found a beauti­ fully ornamented gold cup and four large bronze vessels. This tomb is the larg­ est, and will probably yield much more treasure. I have now the firmest con­ viction that these are the tombs which, as Pausanias writes, belong, according to the accredited traditions, to Atreus, Agamemnon, Cassandra, Eurymedon, etc." __ , Laura Prior's Perilous Promenade. James H. Prior, of St. Louis, accord­ ing to the Olo be-Democrat, has an adopted daughter of 13 years who per­ forms wonderful gymnastic feats in her sleep. Finding her room vacant one night, Mr. Prior began a search, which re­ sulted in discovering her walking along a narrow iron railing which protected a gallery running the entire width of the house. When she reached the end of the railing she deliberately turned and walked back. This feat she performed several times with grace and apparent carelessness. In the meantime Mr. Prior came to himself, but fearing that if he moved he would startle the girl, and she w uld fall to the paved yard be- * low, he remained quiet while she con­ tinued her perilous walk. In a few mo­ ments she seeped tp be satisfied, and, carefully stepping to a chair, reached the floor and glided slowly by Mr. Prior, down the hallway, into her apartment and bed, where she was soon sleeping sweetly. At another time Mr. and Mrs. Prior found the girl had crawled through the skylight and was promenading the length of the roof -ridge. She was walk­ ing with her arms hanging listlessly by by her side, and her head inclined for­ ward, as if sue was looking immediately in front of her feet. The moon was shining brightly, and the white, lithe • form of the sleeping girl could have been seen a block distant. There was a chimney half way to the ridge, and some­ times she made detours to the right or left, going completely around the ob­ struction, regaining the ridge, and trav­ ersing the entire length. Once she leaned on the chimney and seemed ab­ sorbed in deep meditation. Each time she reached the end of the roof it ap­ peared to be her deliberate purpose to walk off, but she always checked herself when within about a foot of the edge, ^ and slowly turning, carefully retraced ' her steps. Twice she- descended on the incline of the roof, each time returning to the ridge very rapidly, as if she had met with something that excited her fears. Several times she looked up & if gazing at the stars or listening to somt distant sound. Suddenly, while at the point of the ridge which she had first reached, she began to descend in the di­ rection of the skylight, taking each step with great caution, and making slow pro­ gress. When she had nearly reached the opening Mr. Prior quietly "withdrew. In a few moments Laura followed, pro­ ceeding at once to the garret-stairs and disappearing down the dark passage. Mr. and Mrs. Prior followed, keeping behind her as closely as possible, but before they could reach her she was in her own room and composing herself in bed. " Positively the Oldest. "The oldest living person" is be­ lieved to be Esther Groom* colored, of Caldwell oounty, Ky. Octogenarians thereabouts say that "Aunt" Esther was an old woman when they were chil­ dren. She is believed to be not less than 120 yean old, is perfectly helpless, her flesh shrunken to her bones, and her skin all wrinkled and shriveled. She can scarcely talk intelligibly, though her mind is fair, while her memory cannot be relied on. She lives with her youngest son, Granville Groom, who is himself between 80 and 90 3 ears of age. > - ;• CA Banker * • rTV.--.rr. the ij£y.\ riaHftff-r/j •The very laigest congregation that ever assembled in any ohurch in Isling­ ton came together on Monday, Jan. 1, at the Main street Christian church, to witness the marriage of Dr. Joseph G. Chinn to Mrs. Catharine Lawson, the former of this city, and the latter of Fayette oounty. The ages of the high contracting parties made it one of the most extraordinary marriages that was ever solemnized. The groom was of the ripe but modest age of 80 years, and looked as vigorous as most men at 60. The lady will be 90 years of age on the 1st day of May next. Dr. Chinn was a soldier of the war of 1812. He enlisted when about 13 years of age, but owing to an accident by which he was severely wounded in the foot he did not go out instil the next year, but served with credit tin til the close of the war. This is his third marriage, but in all proba­ bility he may survive it many years. Mrs. Lawson was born in Virginia, but was brought by her parents to Kentucky in early life. She had a dream not long ago that made a deep impression. on her, and that was that the Lord was sparing her for some wie«5 purpose, which she in­ terpreted, without the doubts and in­ credulity that beset Sarah of old, and these led her to accept one of several offers of matrimony. Having made up her mind to marry, she set ebout it with all the eagerness that any girl of 18 could exliibit. She bought a handsome trousseau and appeared at the altar in a steel-colored silk, with velvet cloak, seal-skin muff and boas, velvet bonnet, trimmed very becomingly with feathers and point lace, and very handsome jew­ elry. Out of respect for the white nair of her affianced, she did not conceal her own gray iiairs, but he d them puffed and well arranged. She was attended by five generations of her relatives, who pre­ ceded her into the church, and took re­ served seats. The ceremony was per­ formed by Elder Marshall with all sol­ emnity, and the large congregation-- that is, all that could get within the church--behaved with respectful atten­ tion. After the ceremony, and after the venerable couple had been congratulated by the clergyman, Master Coleman Gentry, a youth of 5 years, a nephew of the fifth generation, stepped up to her, bearing a beautiful bouquet of camelias and orange blossoms, which he presented in due form, and which was accepted by the bride with evident pleasure. The congregation remained seated while the bridal party passed out. At the door an old negro woman, one of her former servants, lifted her train, and carried it until she entered the carriage, when they drove off to their home and happiness. A bountiful wedding breakfast was awaiting their arrival. Startling Discovery. A belief in color-poisoning by means of green dresses and green wall-papers has already been force" upon the pub­ lic by some tolerably conclusive evi­ dence, but it seems that the mischievous propensities of this color are far from being yet fully exposed. A French savant, M. Paul Bert, has just exhibited against it articles of impeachment of the gravest character, supported by reports oi a whole series of startling experi­ ments. If his theory is true, it is not only the arsenic used in producing the color which does the injury, but the actual color itself, and a meie ray of green light is capable of affecting the health of the person exposed to it, apart from all aid afforded to it by the smell or presence of arsenic. To demonstrate this alleged fact, M. Bert has submitted several specimens of the sensitive plant to rays of different colors thrown npon them through stained glass, and in every case those which were treated to the most brilliant green light withered and died in the shortest time. In those plants which were exposed to red light a peculiar phenomenon was observed; the tips or spikes of the leaves pro longed thcmkolves and grow forward in a lean and hungry fashion horizontally with the branch from which they sprang; while in a blue light the contrary effect was produced, the spikes standing out abruptly and-perpendicularly from their , stem. On one of the plants being in-» olosed in a sort of lantern, having a red glass on one side and green on the other, instead of shrinking away from the poison on their right to the roseate antidote on their left, the leaves, as if by fatal fascination, turned with one consent the other way and literally looked death in the face.--Pall Mall Gazette. Why We Cough. An Italian investigator has been study­ ing the causes of coughs, and has come to the conlusion that they are the result of the presence of a parasitic fungus in the air-passages. In severe cases the parasite multiplies and takes possession of the lung-cells. Quinine is said to possess the power of stopping the micro­ scopic fungi, and, is therefore, recom­ mended as a remedy. The Italian doc­ tor has successfully used a composition of the chloralhydrate of quinine, one part; bicarbonate of soda, one part; gum arabic, twenty part?.» The soda is in­ tended to dissolve mucus; the gum arabic to increase the adherence of the powder on the bronchial passages. The blowing in of the powder should take place dur­ ing a deep inspiration of the patient, so that it may penetrate the windpipe, vhe chief seat of the miroscopic fungus. The remedy, whatever may be the truth of the theory on which it is founded, has the merit of simplicity, and if its ap­ plication did little good, it could not do much harm. We will add to the above that a gen­ tleman in this city who is subject to severe attaoks of hay-fever cured him­ self the past summer by snuffing quinine. --Rural New Yorker. A LUNATIC, whose mental disorder is not suspected by strangers, recently traveled through Kentucky, and bar- Kaiaed to buy hundreds of farms at rid­ iculously high prices. The elation of the farmers' was speedily followed by a disappointment. Fish Culture. The people who constantly enjoy the luxury of broiled Whitehall, and whose boast is that the whitefish of our lakes is the best fish that swims, cannot be aware how rapidly the waters of the great lakes are being depleted of this valuable and delicious fish. If so, they would cail a mass meeting to urge upon the Legislature of the State to make an appropriation and pass the necessary laws for tfte appointment of a Board of Fish Commissioners and the commence­ ment of fish culture in the waters of our State. The State of Michigan has been at work for three years, and makes an an­ nual appropriation for this pur­ pose. The Legislature of Wisconsin appropriated $10,000 last winter, and the result is that they have now in the hatching establishment at Milwaukee 10,000,000 whitefis»h and salmon trout eggs hatching. Ninety-five per oMifc. of these eggs will hatch and the young fish be distributed in the waters of the State. The greater part will be deposited in Lake Michigan. The returns for money invested in fish culture is enormous--500 per oent, is not a high estimate. The fisheries of the Dominion of Canada for the year 1875 yielded one million dollars' worth of fish more than in any one year before artificial hatching was begun. It is asonably estimated that water with culture can be made to yield more par acre than land.--Chicago al. Business In Canada* ' The Mercantile Agency of Dun, Wi- mftn & Co., of Canada, has issued a cir­ cular reviewing the business results of 1373 in the Dominion of Canada. It is a new thing in the business world and is intended to be an annual affair. The agency reports that the year has been a hard one for the Dominion merchants, and there has been a surprising number of failures. The following is the state­ ment of failures for the last four years: Number. .Amount. 187 3 99+ $12,334,192 187 4 966 7,696,76#' 1875... 1,968 88,843.967 187 6 1,728 85,517,991 The failures in Canada in the last two years, says the circular, number nearly 4,000, which, occurring among 50,000 traders, is a proportion indicative of something radically wrong in the trade of a rich country. At this rate, in ten years every second business man in Can­ ada may succumb! The gross liabilities of failed estates during the two years are over $50,000,000, a sum barely equaled by the entire exports of grain in that period. Of this $50,000,000 at least $30,000,000 have been irrevocably lost, and when this amount is divided among the limited number of first hands which comprise the merchants, manufacturers, and bankers, the marvel is that they have stood these calamities with so few signs of distress. Cold Feet. It is just the season for cold feet, and many ills are attendant upon a lack of circulation in the extremities. People who are troubled with cold extremities are apt to have headaches, loose their appetite and feel bad continually, and these results can only be avoided by removing the cause, which seems a very- little thing to do, but very few are will­ ing to do it. , First of all, the shoss or boots must not be worn so tight as to prevent the circulation. No dictation of false pride should be allowed in this matter for there is too much at stake. Second, for winter there is no cover­ ing so good to be next the feet as woolen. It serves a double purpose, of being a good non-conductor of heat and thus holds the heat cf the body, and through a slight irritation of the surface keeps up a circulation in the capillaries next the skin, thus creating warmth. If the feet are once thoroughly chilled it is not the wisest plan to warm them by placing in water well heated, but far better to wash them thoroughly in water from which simply the chill has been taken, then with a crash towel rub the surface until it is red with blood, and the feet burning under the friction. This method is a good one to preserve the warmth of the feet if used before the exposure. - A MAD • ow owned by A Mr. Bugger, of Granby, Mo., attacked the log cabin in which the Dugger family resided, and tore down one side of it, one of the fall­ ing logs striking an infant 6 months old, and killing it.
