EDDs. HERALD: The Hon. S. C. Ad-
ans, of Salem, Oregon, yesterday ex
hihited to us his wonderful and mag
niicent archaeological chart, in the
preparation of which, this able gentle
man has spent several years of unre-
uniting toll. He comes to Cincinnati.
highly endorsed by the first men of
his State. For the public schools of
this state it is certainly the most val
luable adjunct to the study of races,
nations, people, rulers, tongues, and
the. worlds mutations, represented as
streams and tributaries are from their
parent fountain A study of this
splendidly devised and scholarly ex-
eeuted chart cannot fail to satisfy every
one who has ability to comprehend it's
features and designs-and it is GER
tainly remarkably plain and simple
that there has been combined the ag-
gregation and intelligence of many
years of patient and profound re-
search, as well through the sacred
tones which constitute our Biblical
history founded upon Genesis, as that
which the world classes in generic
fphrase as profane from Herodotus and
Livy, to the great historians of the
present era; and also, are traced the
periods and epocs which come to US in
mythical lore, or in wearied tradition
of Homer and Hesiod, of the Zend-
Avesta, of the songs of Isis, of the
Raja Taringini and of Pwaukin.
! From the garden of Eden the chart
traces the currents of the worlds pro-
gress. and the lives of families; thence
!. the wanaerings and the establishment
of the tribes and nations. The roll is
preserved in the periodic measure of
centuries. from the remotest annals,
traditions, or myths, down to the
Christian Era, and thence to the year
l8I3-the same division of time is
maintained-but through all epocs,
and the noted changes and incidents
and events which hare occurred, are
given in clear and precise chronolog
