A SUBMERGED City.

A strange discovery is reported from
the Lake Of Geneva. A tourist having
lost his trunk, two divers were employ
ell to search for it. While they were
below water they found what they sup
posed to be village, since covered by
the lake. Their statements led to an
investigation Of the spot by the NUM-
cipal authorities, who took measures to
ascertain the truth Of the extraordinary
account of the divers. On covering the
placid surface with oil, they were able
to distinguish the plan Of the town,
Streets squares and detached houses,
making the bed Of the lake The rudy
hue which characterized them led the
observers to suppose that the buildings
had been covered with the famous YER
million cement which was used by the
Celts, Cimbri and the early Gauls.
There are about two hundred houses ar
ranged over an oblong surface, near the
middle OF which Is IL space more open,
supposed to have been used for public
assemblages. At the eastern extremity
lies large square tower, which was
taken for rock. a superficial investi-
cation seems to indicate that the con
struction of these buildings dates from
some centuries before our era. The
council of Naud has decided to have
tile site Of the dwellings inclosed by
jetty stretching from the land, and to
drain off the water, SO as to bring to
light what promises to be one of the
most interesting archaeological discov-
cries of our day.

LONDON, March 1O.-The Times Belgrade
special says advices from Bosnia represent that
preparations for resisting an anticipated Aus
trian movement actively continue in both
Bosnia and Herzegovina. The authorities
seem to have reconsidered their intention to
leave the Bosnians to their own resources 1t
is reported at Seraievo that twenty battalions
are coming from Sal0nica. and 800 horses have
been sent to fetch the baggage Of the thirteen
battalions now stationed at Novibazar. Five
hundred cases Of ammunition have been sent
to Mostar, and in the Kraina districts the
Mohammedan citizens are required to drill
daily. New bands of insurgents have appeared
near Klinto, Vastchar, Wakup, and Yiatsa.
The number of Russian officers discharged
from the Servian army by the last order of the
Servlan war department is over 100.
The Times Berlin despatch says the news
semi-officially circulated, that Russia had asked
the powers either to engage to enforce the con-
terence programme or cancel the treaty of
Paris, is incorrect. No definite proposition has
been made, although the language used by the

Simple English.

When Thomson published his ''Castle of In
dolence," in 174S, he prefxed to the poem list
of obsolete words, whose meaning he kindly ex-
planned. Among these he reckons ''carol,"
'glee," "nursling,' "imp,'' "appall," "blazon,"
''sere," and several more, since declared in
good and regular standing. There is much
iotsam and jetsam from the Anglo-Saxon
wreck still floating in the stream of time which
we should find our account in saving. But
without this treasure we are so rich as to be
wasteful A whole army of words, still sound
and serviceable, seems to have been put upon
the retired list through sheer within and indiffer-
ence. These should be ordered into active SER
vice at once, and a host of overworked and
weakly Latin, Greek and French forms sent to
succeed to their inglorious ease. English, with
its genius for assimilation, and with half
world to grow in, is the richest of living tongues
We should be ashamed to cheaper it with taw-
dry ornaments. The simplest words that will
convey our meaning are the best words as the
simplest manners are the most distinguished

WASHINGTON CRY, March 6, 1877.
To Hon. d. II. Chamberlain, Columbia, South
Carolina:
My Dear Sir,-I have not the honor of per-
sonal acquaintance with you, but have learned
to respect you from my knowledge of your rep.
utation., L take the liberty of addressing you
now with great distrust of the propriety of do.
ing so, prefacing it by saying that speak
without authority from any one and represent
only my own views. The situation of public
affairs in South Carolina is too complicated to
be discussed at length in note, and yet inn
presses me as one which ought to be changed
by the policy of Republican statesmen in such
away as to not'only remove all controversies
that disturb that state, but remove all embar-
easements arising from it to the party in other
parts of the country. 1t has occurred to me to
suggest whether by your own concurrence and
cooperation an accommodation could not be ar
rived at which would Obviate the necessity for
the use OF federal arms to support either gov
eminent, and leave that to stand, which was
the best able to stand of ITSELF Such course
would relieve the administration from the ne
cessity, so far as executive action is concerned,
of making any decision between the conflicting
governments, and would place you in q position
of making the sacrifice of what you deemed
your abstract rights for the sake of the peace of
the community, which would entitle you to the
gratitude not only of your own party, but the
respect and esteem Of the entire country. I
trust you will pardon the liberty have taken,
as my motive is to promote not only the public
but your personal good.
With great respect,
STANLEY MATTHEWS.
Appended to the foregoing letter are the fol-
lowing lines by Mr.. Evarts:
Dear Governor-I have read this letter and
conversed with Col. II lskell and Senator Cor.
don on this subject, so interesting to us all. 1
