brick house. The north window OF the
back parlor is of wide bay form, four
sashes in width, two sashes high, each sash
having single pane of plate glass. In
this parior tho previous evening Mr.. and
Mrs. Price, and Miss Louise Du Boss, q
young lady from New Ofleans. who is visit.
ing Mrs prlce, sat converting till after eleven
o'clock. The curtains of the bay window
were raised all this time, and any person
could have had full visw of the parlOr and
lite occupants from the house yard or the
enclosure of the First Methodist Church ad-
joining oa the north. II the villain who
perpetratea the crime mentioned below in
tended TO harm the family his best oppor-
tunity was when they were thus seated
about their hearth enjoy ing social converse.
Ii Mr.. William Price was the object of the
deed better chance to slay him occurred
when, after the ladies had gone up stairs,
he stepped to the bay window, with the
room all lighted behind him, and latched
each OF the window fasteuings. 81 at that
time, t minu past eleven o'clock, no.
body was lurking about the house with
William Price as an object of vengeance.
During the evening, however, the servant

t!ons OF man she saw standing at tho rear
end OF the church and engaged in watching
their house. Mrs. Price said it was prayer

rear parlo- had been occupied by Hon.
Hiram Price and wife since September,
when they vacated their former residence
for its new owner. Now, fortunately, they
were In st. Louis, though whether the vii
ialns who attempted the destruction of the
household knew it Or not is 3 question
which exeites the people of this city.
Alter the family had retired q startling
crash was heard in the room below. Mr..
Price arose and started down stairs, when
terrific explosion followed. The neigh
bOrs rushed cut of their houses and the cry
OF fire was heard. The front room burst
into II ames, but they were soon extinguish-
ed, and on searching the fragments Of q
siX-pound shell were found. 1t had rolled
under sofa after crushing through the
bay window, and it was this sofa that pre-
vented the pieces from crashing through
the ceilir 6 and killing the occupants of the
chamber above. A two minute fuse had
been used, which gave the assassin time to
escape before the explosion. A reward of
SI2oO has been offered for the arrest of the
offender.

Harriet Martineau's genial character has
drawn an appreciatiye tribute from James
Pyne:
The little daughter Of a very wealthy
New Yorker happened not long ago to hear
her small schoClmates congratulating them
selves and one another upon the regularity
with which their fathers said grace at table.
H4r father did not say grace, and, oppressed
by sense Of inferiority, the little one wept
that evening. and besought him to do it.
He said he thought it was time he began.
and asked blessip with all proper feeling
1T breakfast next morning. A younger sis
ter Of his little hOmilist, q young lady still
in tho nursery, who had net heard the pre-
viOus conversation, looked up surprised;
then her face cleared. II know what you
does 1t for, papa" said she, "it's 'tause
your gettin' p00I!'

it did not long continue. On the twenty

In letter describing his first visit to Ny
ceDa, DR.. Schlieman says:
II then turned to the Treasury of Aga
memnon, commonly called Tomb of Aga
memnOD,' which lies about three-quarters
of mile from the citadel. It is dug in the
side OF little hill, facing deep ravine. A
passage, l47 feet long, and about 80 wide,
formed of two parallel walls, each 80 feet
high, and built of hewn stones, Of about
feet by 2, leads to the grand entrance.
which is ID feet high. and at the top wide,
but its width gradually increases, and it is
. feet at the base. This gate is covered
with one block of beautifully hewn stone,
q feet long and high, above which there
is triangular opening Of IL feet high and
the same width at the base. Curiosity hay
ing made me climb this gate, / found in the
triangular opening some traces which con-
Vlnced me that statutes or little columns
were placed there. There was formerly on
each SIDE OF the great gate column with
base and capital. and enriched with elegant
ecuiptured ornaments, which, according to
Leake, had no resemblance to any other
sculptures of ancient Greece, but which ap-
preached the style of carvings at Persep-
oils. In the great entry the marks of the
bolts and hinges OF the doors are visible,
and on the same line with these marks q
series of little round bolss of about an inch
and half diameter anu half an inch deep,
and at the bottoms of thaee two little holes
which evidently held nails of bronze. The
treasury contains two chambers, the first of
which is shaped like q cone, of fifty feet
diameter and about the same height. It
communicates BY door with an interior
chamber Of qusdrangulsr shape, which il
only twenty.one feet in length and width,
and is roughly dug into the rock"

DAN in the right side, under the edge

sometimes the pain is in the left side; the
patient is rarely able to lie on the left
side; sometimes the pain is felt under
the shoulder blade, and it frequently ex-
tends to the top of the shoulder, and is
sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected with
loss ofappetiteand sickness the bowels
in general are costive, sometimes alterna-
tive with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally aconsiderable loss ofmemory,
accompanied with painful sensation of
having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight, dry
cough is sometimes an attendant. The
patient complains of WEAKNESS and de-
bility he is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains of a
prickly sensation Of the skin; his spirits
are low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few ofthem existed,
