destruction Of Citn-ColtstnntinoI

Oestr"ctio" Of a CHy:-Constnntinople papers
announce the total destruction of th. city OF
Erzcrouin by earthquakes. Erzcroun was the
principal city Of Armenia, in Asiatic Turkey,
capital of II pashalc Of the same name in n plan
OH tho Kara 500, or west branch of the Euphra
tcs l20 miles southea.t Of Trebizond, and 1853
miles west of Mount Ararat. The population,
before the Russian INVASION in 1880, was esti,na
ted at 100000, but in 1914 it was only 10000
1t was, however, regularly increasing. IL was
partly enclosed by wall thirty feet high. and
had all extensive citadel. It's vicinity was ex.
tremely fertile, and near il many cattle, horses
mules and sheep were reared, which, with furs,
gals, &c, formed the principal exports Ere.
roum was founded abou. 4l5, near the site of
the ancient Arze, under the mame of Theodosi
opolis, and 1t was the bulwark Of Armenia under
the Byzantines, as it was under the Turks, it's
position rendering it al important military post.

New ROAD FROM SALT LAKE TO
OREGoN.-The s. f. Alta describes the
route of new road projected by Gen.
Harney, and which is soon to be opened
between Salt Lake City and the lower
portion of the valley of the Columbia.
It is to run from the Mormon city in as
near straight line as possible to the
Dalles, distance Of five hundred and
fifty miles, and will be shorter by some
two hundred miles than the present road
1t is proposed partly as measure Of
military defence, since it win have mil
itary posts upon it at different points,
and partly to confer protection on the
large bodies Of emigrants who, it is ex-
pected, will crowd the various transcon.
tinentaI avenues of travel during the
coming spring.

SHAkEspEARE's FAME

SHAKESPEARE FAME.-Up to the
middle of 1854, there had been published
in England and on the Continent eighty
eight complete editions of Shakespeare
in English, thirty-two in German, six in
French, and FIVE, more or less complete
in Italian. Besides these, his works had
been translated into Dutch, into Danish,
into Hungarian, into Polish, and into
Swedish. The numerous American edi-
tions are not reckohed in this statement; !;
and, to give an adequate notion OF the
extent of the Shakespeare-literature, we
should add that the number of separ-
ately printed comments and other illus
trative publications, already exceeds five
hundred. No other poet except Dante
has received such appreciation, and
not even he, if we consider in Shakes
peare's case the. greater bulk of the
works and the difficulty Of the
language .-4aantic Monthly

THE RIGHT PoLICY.-It is probable
that Congress will pursue the same course
of action in the new gold mines of Kan
sas territory that was inaugurated with
reference to the mineral regions of Cal
ifornia. An experience of more than
ten years has proved that the mines of
precious metals can safely be left free
for all to work, without exacting any
royalty or rental to the government; and
that such a liberal course facilitates set
Element and prevents injurious monopo-
lies. Il has equally proven that practi-
cal miners, familiar with all the wants
and exigencies Of their peculiar avoca-
ton, can more competently regulate
their own affairs than even Congressional
wisdom. The system will stand, at least
until the mining communities petition
for change, or until the exhaustion of
the placer deposits,-whieh is long
way in the future.

We notice that some of the papers
speak of the Hesperiion in the most ex-
travagant terms,-one predicting that it
will rank with the best magazines in the
world ,and another referring to its list Of
contributors as GLORIOUS array of tai
ent." The simple truth is the best CONS
pliment that can be paid to the work,
and will aid it much more than "a
shower of indiscriminate adjectives. &

MeNUMENTs.-Active measures are
on foot to procure the erection of suit
able monument to the memory of Dr.
Kane, in the city of New York. The
design proposed is life-like statue upon
a futed column, to be erected in the
Central Park.
We wish it was possible to persuade
the admiring, the grateful, or the ostenta-
tious builders of monuments into adopt.
ing our idea on the subject, and that is
to make such structures subservient to
some philanthropic object or scheme of
public utility, employing the funds OBJ
tanned in the founding of hospitals,
asylums, free educational institutes and
colleges of science dedicated to the
memory Of the good or great persons
whom it is proposed to honor. Who
would not rather have his name thus
perpetuated in grateful hearts, from
age to age, with continual increase of
afectionate remembrance and constant
accession of fame, than to have it coldly
carved on pillars of stone, at which
coming generations will gaze with ignor-
ant curiosity, or with passing admiration
merely? How much more would some
such benefcent work harmonic with
the character of the brave, gentle-heart-
ed, unselfsh Kane than useless statue?
Franklin's best monument is nou the
Union of these States; but the.time may
come when that simple apprentices Ii
brary which he founded, may remain
the noblest memorial of his useful exist
ence. Instead of wasting half mil
lion or million dollars in the erection of
a marble pile five hundred feet high, in
scribed to the memory of Washington,
how much nobler it would be to cxpend
the same amount of money in training
poor children to emulate his perfect in
tegrity?
Why will the world forever copy the
barbarous examples of antiquity, and
go on building pyramids, triumphal
arches, obelisks, shafts and other stone
follies, when it might give to its great
an Immortality in the warm heart of mil
lions?
