AsHTABULA.-We get the verdict of the
coroner's jury in relation to the Ashta-
bula horror at last. and it lays the blame
down heavily and exclusively on the
railroad company. The disaster is at.
tributed I" nothing at all but faulty
bridge, for the construction of which the
company is responsible. Besides being
criminally insufficient, to begin with, it
had been used by the road for eleven
years without being even examined by a
competent engineer. The verdict like
wise inculpates the company for heating
its cars with stoves that, when the cars
were overturned, inevitably set them on
lire and consumed the imprisoned pas
sengers With every imaginable crcum-
stance Of horror. For all that the truth
il told SO plainly, it ia exceedingly ques-
tionable ii it will work any actively good
result. There are knowa to be a great
mauy railroad bridges that need over
hauling, but while business for the COM
panies il 90 slack there 10 not much like
liho"d Of their mourning the expense,
which cannot be other than large. Only
we trust and pray that there may be no
more such catastrUphes.

To see the wonders Of the world i will
soon be scarcely necessary to go abroad
ut all. They will all be brought to our
own doors. There is that great marvel of
mechanism, the Strasburg Clock, ofwhich
we have all read in our youth, and which
has been wonder Of the world for more
ttan four hundred years. A fac-simile
az it, one-third in size, is Oh exhibition
In Boston. There is the great dial of the
heavens giving the movement OF the stars
and consultations, and revolving bnt
once in year; there are all the other
dials marking the minutes, the hours, the
days, the weeks, the months and the
moons phases; there is the little door
which opens and reveals the skeleton
Death; there is the great door above
which solemnly opens aud out of which
solemnly marches the twelve Apostles,
while the Saviour graciously bows his
head in blessing as they pass, and the
Devil looks grimly on from above, as
Peter turns his back upon the Saviour and
the cock flaps his wings and crows, in re-
minder Of his denial of his Master. And
there is the young man who explains it
all, and calls your attention to the won
derful mechanism, and exquisite carving
Of the figures, and the expression of the

The German excavations at Olympia
are procee ling with great vigor an all
side. OF the temple site. Among the
sculptures that have been found is the
bust If drsped female figure, the head
resting on the left hand, and the left
elbow on the right hand, which is folded
across the bOsom. Three fragments-a
yelled female head, Q warriors head, and
flying woman with exquisite drspery,
are supposed to be from the chisel Of
Alcsmenes, the pupil Of Phidias. The
Academy describes the enormous cOllec-
ton of imperial coins which, have recently
been unearthed near Verona, aud an
nounces the extraordinary discovery of a
colossal terra-cotta vase under Roman
pavement near the church Of San Fran
CISCO, Bologna. This vase contained at
least y ton and a half of bronzes,
hatchets, daggers, swords, scythes, bits,
saws, razors aud shapeless pieces. DR..
Schliemapn's latest discovery Is ring
having an intaglio representation of u
group Of women near palm tree By the
sea with the sun and crescent moon
rising over the waters. The most re-
markable treasure-trove Of the year
comes from the royal tomb which peas
ants have opened near Palestine. On the
walls were hung shields Of bronze, lances,
swords and daggers; on the flor was a
sumptuous funeral couch Of wood aud
bronze; at the head and feet of the royal
skeleton were bronze tripods and silver
vases beautifully wrought; exquisite
pieces Of furniture richly Ornamented
with ivory carved in low relief; gold
cups and vases, and head.piece Of solid
gold, eight inches by five, with 1871 min
iature ststuettes Of lions, horses and
chimer@ - the perfection Of the gold
smiths craft. 1t was probably the tomb
of one Of the allies of the Tarquins who
fell at the battle of Lake Regillus.

A Woman Still.

A young woman, with draggled dress
and flushed face, with her hair loose
over her shoulders, and hard look in her
eyes, followed burly officer into the
Central Station just as the clock was on
the stroke of midnight.
whats the matter here9' queried the
Lieutenant, Us the ill-mated couple came
trooping in.
'Sams old CHARGE" said the officer;
''shes been raising Cain around the hay
market"
"You bet your boots have" said the
girl, with q hoarse laugh that showed
there was whisky behind it. II just give

I wish to God had never happened!"
A moment longer and she looked up

she asked, in . low aud gentle voice.
They said she might, and the poor,
forsaken woman sat down on the stone
bench With the sleeping child held close
to her bosom. The tcass that fell from
her eyes were - balm TO her bruised
heart and the little one lifted her soul 70
