would light with match. and then blow

days previous to that on which he was
found he was thus employed, but upon
trial the scheme would not work. The
wood refused to burn, and he again lay
down to die. That day passed, and the
next he abandoned all hope, and he was
calculating how long it would take strong,
healthy man to die of starvation. He was
in state of abject stupor. when he heard
the report of gun. At first he was in
doubt whether it was not the effect of his
own maddened imagination, but he halloo-

ANCIENT AMERICAN RUINS.

When 4 lad at school, thirty years ago,
we read of ancient ruins in the region now
known as ARIZONA. These reports were
tiisn, and long after, regarded by nearly
everybody as the fabulous tales of some
one who might, or might not, have travel
ed through that region. Later, however,
it WIS soi,ud that not only did such ruins
exist, bat that the half had not hoen told
about them. Still later, the interests Of
explorers has been sharpened by Dissolve
ries of immense Notifications on the ella
river and at other points, and it is probable
that number of these ancient piles will
soon be more thoroughly examined. The
difficulty of traversing the regions in which
they arc found, aggravated by the danger
arising l.s..u hostile Indians, has delayed
investigation thus far, but these drawbacks
are now partially overcome.
Anterior to the advent of Columbus, OF
Nespucius, the history of the American
continent is almost sealed book; but it
has been settled beyond dispute that the

should be glad to show you little article

engaged in selling to the people of this
city and vicinity. 1t is small and not ex-
pensive, and yet it is found indispensable in
every household. Children cry for it,
mothers must have it, no gentleman s
library is complete without it. take no
subscribers, but sell and deliver as l 60.
Understand me clearly: sell my goods en-
tirely on their oacn merits, and if what l
have is not worth the money l ask for it,
no gentleman need purchase. Here, sir, is
my card; please look it over"
And with this he handed the astonished
agent a card, to which small cork was at
tached by few inches of string. On the
face of the card were these words in bold
letters:
The most horrible death is to be
talked to death. To prevent the
above terrible fate, use the Patent
Life Preserver attached to this
card. Directions: PUT THE CORK
IN YOUR EAR.
The book agent bounced out of his chair
hot with rage, and his bland tone trembled
with wrath as he said: "Have l insulted
any gentleman present by any of my re-
marks ?"
ooh, no, returned the other, with per
feet GOODNESS. "Not at all, sir; not at all.
1t is all right. You follow your business
and follow mine. Good morning, SIR"

savages who then possessed the Western
hemisphere, had superseded, dispersed and
swept away an antecedent race for superior
to themselves in civilization. A mystery
centers around that ancient people which
may never be solved, but SO long as the
probability exists of lifting the veil which
hides the secret, by exploring the remain
ing traces of this antecedent race, SO long
doubtless will efforts be made to discover
its history.
Recent intelligence from the extensive
ruins on the ella has been received. Care
full examination has been made, which
shows that the principal ruin is parallelo-
gram fertilization, GOO feet in width by
LOCO feet in length. The walls, which
were built of stone, have long been over
thrown, and are overgrown by trees and
vines. For more than thousand years,
Judging from its appearance, this pile has
been deserted and crumbling away in the
wilderness. Within the area enclosed by
these walls are the remains Of a great
structure-probably a palace-200 by 260
feet. constructed of roughly hewn stones,
and on the inner sides Of its walls are yet
perfectly distinct traces of the image of
the sun. The remnants of two towers are
yet standing. These are but the principal
features of these vast ruins, no excava-
lions having yet been made to determine
their extent and character. The situation
is on small plain, elevated 200 feet above
the bed of the ella. The country in the
vicinity of this buried palace is particularly
wild and unusually desolate. There are,
besides these ancient walls, evidences of
civilization analogous to that of the an
cient Peruvian, Central American and
Mexican nations. These ruins are to be
thoroughly explored, and whatever may be
discovered of the race to which they owe
their origin, will be looked for with great
interest.

some lady of very nervous disposition,

of latent somnambulism, during which she
related, with surprising accuracy of Ian

passion with which she had followed politi-
cal events since the fall of tho Empire.
She had really acquired kind of extra

SOLD on ITS MERITS.

Who has not learned to dread the travel
ing agent? The oily fellow who is can
wasting for book, or map, or something
else you don't want, and who never takes
no for An answer. Who comes when you
are busy and stays till you are tired of him,
and when patience is all gone, begins again
in the Same smooth way, smiling sickly
smile, that makes you ache to kick him,
and see if that would make any differe nee.
Such an ono recently entered an Office in
Boston where several persons we're present,
and in his sweetest tone inquired for one
Of the lawyers whose name was on the
door. That gentleman responded, and
thereupon the book man commenced to
say his lesson in the usual way.
81 have called for the purpose of asking
your attention for few moments if you
have the leisure, to very interesting and
valuable work that am now engaged in
introducing among the citizens of this city
and vicinity. It is issued in the most beau
tiful and attractive style Of the day, as you
will see by examining this binding and
glancing at these elegant illustrations. 1t
also comprises, among other things, full
and complete ETC., etc, etc, al! in the reg
ular and customary fashion,
When the first victim refused, the can
vasser proceeded to attack in turn each of
the other gentlemen, repeating the same
story again and again with easy volubility.
One Of them finally managed to slip in
word Of objection.
Your mode Of business is not fair. l
like to see thing sell on it's own merits.
II your book is good for anything, put it
on the market, and those who want it will
buy it. Your plan of showing a man a
piece of book that you are going to make
and then getting his name to a contract, is
dead sure thing for you; but the man
that pays his money takes all the risk
"But, my dear sir, consider for mo-
ment the immense expense attending the
preparation and introduction of costly
and elaborate work like this. Why. sir,
Che ensravings alone of the magnificent
platos and illustrations with which this
work will be crowded will cost over fifteen
thonGand dollars, and, Of course, no pub
Usher can afford to take such risk as that
without first obtaining few subscribers. y
"Why shouldn't he? 1t would be far
better than to 60 around with few sam
pie pages, inducing people to buy work
shat never would cell on its merit. Make
your goods before you try to sell them, and
when finished, if want one will buy it. ="
This was quite enough to give the untir-
ing canvasser fresh start, and he warmed
to the subject and talked on in ceaseess
stream about his book, until he had finish
cd his whole rismarole. Just as he was
taking breath to begin again, one of his
yiatims turned upon him, saying in very
cold and matter Of fact way!
Well, sir, We have now listened with
patience to what you had to say. Wehave
looked at the book and heard all the good
things you can advance in favor of it.
Now, if you have a moment of leisure,

bly, decided, in the first place, that it
should return to Paris, aud it put to the
vote the continuation of Marshal MacMa
hons powers. The Chief of the Cabinet
interviewed to declare that the Marshal con-
sdered the vote of the Goth of November,
1878, as incommutable. The President of
the Assembly, NJ. Grevy-at least her de-
scription of him made us think that it was
he-divided the House on tho question
whether it should continue the discussion
despite the protest of the Chief Of the
Cabinet. The Assembly, by a large ma
jority, decided to take no notice Of the
objection. Immediately the whole Cabinet,
followed by part of the Assembly. left
the hall. After their departure the discus
sion continued. At this moment mes
sage is brought from the Marshal declaring
the Assembly dissolved. An Undesirable
uproar follows upon the reading Of this
message. The Assembly decides that the
President is guilty of high treason. Here
the Schehezerade lost sight of her vision
for moment. The man who acted the
part Of magnetizer pressed her hand. She
continued her narrative. She found her
self twenty four hours afterwards within
the walls of Paris, where she witnessed
terrible struggle. She saw on one side the
representatives of tho people armed with
their insignia, and on the other the soldiers
of the army commanded by the Marshal
Ind 1u Oh, -
cry-one of the generals had fallen; the
other, who was next to him, assumed the
co;amand. The struggle concluded by the
triumph of the army, and by the proclama-
ton Of the general who had taken the CON-
mand. We asked her for the name of this
general. Sho refused to give it, saying
she did not wi sh to point him out before
hand to the bullet of some fanatic. The
scene began to be painful, and at the gen
oral request she was awakened, and before
she had completely recovered her conscious
ness left with tho friend who had brought
me.
