The CITADEL OF ANCIENT TRoY.-From
the time OF Pericles TO the present day. 1t has
been one of the vexed questions OF history
where the city of Troy was situated. Some
have supposed it to have been upon or near
the site Of New Illium of the Greeks; others
have maintained that it was further away from
the coast The contest has heen renewed dur
ing the present century, upon revival OF
taste for classical study. =
Dr.. Henry Schliemann, OF Paris, gentle
man of wealth and Of great learning. has lately
published book upon the Hellespont. Troy
and Ithaca, containing resume OF the latest
phase of the discussion. Based upon the data
therein laid down, DR.. Schliemann began last
spring extensive explorations and excavations,
iu the hope of finding traces of the walls OF
the ancient Pergamus His efforts were crown
ed with success. He found portions of the
ancient wall, built 10 the peculiar style OF
archaic masonry. and evidently tho foundation
wall of massive tortiGcation.
DR.. Schliemanp, in private letter to
Professor George +. Comfort. dated Paris,
June ii, alludes to his discovery and
the progress of his researches briefly as tol-
lows Il regret not being able 10 be present
at the next session of the American Phllolog-
cal Society, as had been my hope last year;

DEATH By LIGHTNING.

A severe thunderstorm broke over this town
on Sunday afternoon. The lightning was in
tense and the peals of thunder we're really terri
fc. A labourer named George Harrigan and
his two sons were employed cutting grass in the
vicinity of the town when the first peal of thun-

the father and one of the sons were struck dead
by the lightning while the other boy escaped
with only a few bruises.

1t seems wonderful the Emperor should
have had the boldness to hazard so much
on this war. Did he not know that he
could not afford a single reverse, and that
while a lost battle would only have con-
seCrated William of Prussia doubly as
King of the Germans, a similar defeat
on his side would imperil the Napoleonic
dynasty Was he not aware of the enc

with sometimes in private life, who, pos
sessing all that any reasonable man could
possibly wish to gain, must still play on
until they come to ruin. Here you have
the explanation. The man is by nature
a gambler. He has never given up gam
bling. The man who tried his luck at
Boulogne and at Strasburg against such
fearful odds the man who played that
desperate game on the 2nd of December
and won it; the man who paid so dear
for that lottery ticket in Mexico, has now
risked his throne and his sons inheritance
on that German war card, and he seems
nigh to losing all. AS to his promotion
of this war, however, there is something
to be said in his defence. He knew for
what purpose he had been taken, and
what was the popular significance of his
name. He was to make France once
more the arbiter of Europe, and tear up
the Treaties of 1915. That was his mis-
sion or else why should he have been
chosen ? The Bourbons of The elder branch
had been driven away because their name
was uniustIy associated with the humiIia-

been discarded because it was accused
no less unjustly, of cIinging to peace at
