Archaeological Discoveries in Athens
he Ancient Stadium.

Gdlgnd11Gs Nessenger has the following
Interesting particulars of recent excava-
tions in Greece:
King George of Greece has conceived
the idea of excavating the ancient Panathe-
naic Stadium, at Athens. To accomplish
this design he has purchased, at his own
expense, all the land supposed to have
been occupied by the Greek and Roman
race course, including the hills on the right
bank Of the Ilissus, between which the long
grass-grown hollow formed the theatre for
the athletic performances. Workmen have
now been engaged tor several weeks IN re
moving the lmmense masses of earth which
generations have deposited over the ancient
site. German engineer is superintend-
ing the work, and the King visits the
ground almost daily to watch the progress
OF the excavation, which is exciting much
interest.
CAT depth of several feet a perfect
semi-circular wall of compact marble has
been exposed, and a corresponding interior
wall OF perfect masonry. Between these
walls the spectators passed, ascending
thence through marble entrances two Of
which have also been discovered-to the
seats in the amphitheatre above. These
walls are supposed 70 have extended around
the entire length of the race ground, and
may be still existing. The upper end is in
perfect preservation. Parts Of columns
have been exposed with carved work at the
bases, and other marble fragments forming
portions Of the doOrways and seats. 1t is
remarkable that the arch@ologists have
neglected this interesting site. 1t seems
not to have occurred to them
that the floor of the Stadium was
much below the present level. It
will rot now be surprising if King
Georges discoveries equal those made
along the slopes of the Acropolis, and
which are now only second to the Par
thenon and the Tharum. The length OF
the ancient Stadium was SIX hundred
yards, the semi-circular end was artificial,
and the natural slope of the banks formed
the amphitheatre, where some forty thou
sand spectators seated themselves on the
turf. This was the Stadium of the time of
Sophocles. Horodes Attieus constructed
the marble steps and seats, and this is the
work now brought to light. 1t is described
by Pansanius as having been ''of white
marble and wonderful to behold" The
King intends to upturn the earth over the
whole extent of the plain and hill sides, so
that whatever exists III the way of stone
work may be revealed"

The Most Costly shackles Ever Made.

from the Hartford Iimes.1
We were shown this morning a novel
chain, made entirely of $40 gold pieces,
all of the coinage of 1869. It was made for
a singular purpose. Some fifteen years ago
a man named Clark was sentenced to the
state prison from New Haven by the order
of the Superior Court. He had been con-
vieted of murder, but it was proved that
he was insane at the time he committed the
deed; so he was Only confined to await the
further orders of the Court. During all
this time he has conducted himself in a
harmless manner, spending his time in
light work and carryi trifes, but no
efforts have been made for any other dis
position of him until recently, when
the matter was taken up by
Mr.. H. G. Dorsey, of Pawtucket, r. l.,
known as the Conuict's Friend who has
made application for his release The case
has been taken in charge by Hon. e. K.
Foster, formerly State Attorney for New
Haven county, who appeared before Judge
Pardee, at the Superior Court, in this city.
Mr.. Dorsey intended that Clark should be
brought into court bound with the golden
chain above referred to, but it was found
that his presence was not necessary. Nc
time has yet been settled for hearin OF
the case.
The chain is composed Of sixty-six TWEEN
ty-dollar gold pieces-that number, DR..
Dorsey says, representing the number OF
words IN the Lords prayer. They are al
bright new coins, fresh from the mint, and
have never been used. They are fastened
together with small gold links. The value
OF the chain is 81, 800, outside the work and
| links

4 HOME FOR CoNsUMRTTvEs. A novelty
in charities has just been established in
New York. It is simply home for con-
sumptives, situated in fremont, West
chester county. It is an Episcopalan in
stitution, under the management of Mr..
Henry J. Cammann. The design of it is
to receive and take care of those upon
whom this dreadful disease has fastened. =
This timely charity was started by socie-
ty of influential gentlemen, under the pat
ronage of the Episcopal Church. The best
medical aid is employed, and everything
done that can be for the comfort of the
patients. Rich and poor are admitted
alike. No religious convictions act as a
bar. The society receive money from pa
tiants now only because their means are
small. One hundred dollars makes the
payer a member of the society. Patients
are admitted by application to Henry j..
Cammann, No. s Wall street. For those
who are able or willing, three hundred
dollars a year will secure the assignment OF
bed for any one who may be selected. =
It is intended, ultimately, that this shall
be a free charity, and, as soon as possible,
proper buildings are to be erected at White
Plains, New York.

Two EuH,inuC NnnIInS-


The King OF Prussia recently visited a
needle mandatory in his kingdom, in Or
der to see what machinery, combined with
the human hand, could produce. He was
shown number of superfne needles, thou
sands of which together did not weigh half
an ounce, and marvelled how such minute
objects could be pierced with an eye. But
he was to see that in this respect even
something still finer and more perfect could
be created. The borer-that is, the work
man whose business it is to bore the eye in
these needles asked for hair from the
monarch's head. 1t was readily given, and
with a smile. He placed it at once under
the boring machine, made hole in it with
the greatest care, furnished it with thread
and then handed the singular needle to the
astonished King.
The second curious needle is in the pos
session of Queen Victoria. It was made
at the celebrated needle manufactory at
Reddish, and represented the column of
Traian in miniature. This well known Ro-
man column is adorned with various scenes
in sculpture which immortalize Trajan's
heroic actions in war. On this diminutive
needle scenes in the life of Queen Victoria
are represented in relief, but so finely cut
and so small that it requires a magnifying
glass to see them. The Victoria needle
can, moreover, be opened; it contains a
number of needles of smaller size, which
are equally adorned with scenes In relief.

WHO'LL LOVE NE WHEN MY

VINO u love me when my hair is gray?

Win cherub cheek and curis of gold?

In maiden grace in manly form,
Nhlie 70 my cold lips come and cling
hWaet call i.h Eisseth Wild and warm
May know the while my pu Sc grows less,
In bountrOus life it's bounding on
in younger veins, to love and bless,
And make life fair when am gone?
Or, left the remnant of my race,
ShailI behold nv sinking sun.
Ahd gazing toward the unknown lands,
THANK God, INV dav is almost done?
The while pray with lifted hands,
And coun between my falling breath
The friends that ! have lost in life,
The friends that have lost in death.
Alasl with eyes of wistfuI ruth,
Imust recall, sUms coming d ",
The grace and glory Of my youth,
Who'll love ae.when my hair is gray
Who'll love me when my hair is gray
Al wei I know that there is one
Whose eyes viii see me ia r and gay

He'lI see around my faded brows,
From whence the morning foWers are flung,
The uimbus of eternal youth.
And love as if I still were young.
