at the Village of Zugra, not many miles
from Corinth, Il bronze vase has been found
containing no less than 9,l70 Greek coins Of
great antiquity, the most modern being of
the time Of the Ach9an Leaguc. At York,
in England, famous for its yield of Roman
relics, a sepulchral stone has recently been
discovered in the cellar Of an old convent,
with Latin inscription signifying that it
was erected to the memory of Decimina,
daughter of Decimius. An Anglo Saxon
grave has been opened at Sarr Mil, in the
Island of Thanat; its contents were a latge
bronze bowl full of bones. beautiful fibua
of gold bulla, four gold medals, beads of
amber and aInethystine quartz, and num-
Der of iron weapons. In Northampton,
during some recent excavations, tie work.
men came upon mass of weapons and other
implements of the ante Roman period.
Beyond the Mediterranean, Mr.. Davis has
been employed by the British Government

cries which she'd vast deal ofnew light upon

TRANsCENDENTALIsM.-T word is in fire.
qnent use, but it is not always correctly un-
derstood. Anything which is peculiarly alb
Struse or ABSURD which is highly metaphys-
ical or intensely silly, which is so profound
that no bottom can be discovered, or so shall
low that it can never be SKINNED, which
contains the best lessons Of wisdom or the
shabbiest philosophy of the pretender, which
is expressed in the simple language of Plato
or the bombast of the modern newspaper
scribbler, is indifierently called transcenden-
tai.
Bat the true signifcation is this: The
basis of Lockes philosophical system is thl
all knowledge is received into the soul thro
the Medium of the senses, and is to be iudg-
ed of and analyZed by the understanding
This may be called the sensuous philosophy
Kant, on the contrary, denies that all knowl-
edge is received through the senses, and
maintains that the universally received
truths are communicated to a faculty within
the soul, transcending the mere un 3erStand-
ing, which he denomnates pure reason
distinguishing it from the understanding
