A PRACTICAL SprRITUALIsr.-A dry old
codger connected with the railroad interests.
man who listens always and speaks little,
and was never known to argue a.hobby with
any body, has lately been all mouth and ear
toa very communicating Spiritualist of the
ultra school. He listened to and swallowed
all sorts Of things from the other world with
so much placidity of assent, that the spir-
itualist at last believed him to be one of the
faithful; ID "A few days since, the Spiritualist
peared to me last night and ordered me to
borrow five dollars Of you," for a certain
purpose, which was named. Eyes, know il
did," replied the one, "and isn't II strange
the same spirit called on me half an hour
afterward, and told me not to let you have
the money, as it had made mistake in giving
you the orderP' The pretended Spiritualist
hasn't been to see the old codger since.

A Valuable Antiquarian Discovery Made
-. - IL L. Pnhlin. - -. -. = - =

very interesting antiquarian discovery
has lately been made public. Gibbou had.
long ago, in his great work, pointed out as
the most authentic of relics.n the bronze
serpent on which was placed the golden tri-
pod, made by the Greeks from the spoils of
Aerxes and dedicated in the Temple Of
Apollo, at Delphi, as related by Herodius
after the battle Of Plat@. This was carried
TO his new capital by the Emperor Constan-
tine, and, though'mtitllated BY the iconoclas-
TIC zeal OF the conqueror Mohammed II il
stun remains erectin the Hippodrome at Con-
stantinople. As IL was difficult 10 reconcile
the present appearance of the monument with
the descriptions of ancient authors. SOME
doubts had been thrown on its Authenticity
put during the recent occupation of Com
stantinople by the Allied Powers in the
Crimean-War, excavations were made, and
the Serpent Pedestal laid bare to its base,
where, by application of chemical solvents,
the original Hellenic inscription, recording the
names of the Greek States who had fought
against the Persians, was recovered. II is in
lhe most Archaic form Of Greek writing.
well and deeply cut, and written in the bous.
trophedon manner, in which the lines are
read alternately from right to left. The re-
appearance Of record actually seen and
copied by the Father of History, and many
centuries later by Pausaniss, which has been
lost to the world ever since, is remarkable
INK in the chain Of discoveries which have of
late gone so strongly to rehabilitate the credit
oi herodotus as our main reliance in the
history of the ancient world. edl q d 9.,'a7 M

expended on the great pyramid was about
equivalent to lifting l5, ,733, 900 cubic feet Of

formed, according to Diodorus Siculns, by
1000 men; according to Herodotus, ,lO0, ,0So,
