TINS New York Tribune says that there
are signs of a vigorous Republican revi-
val in several Of the Southern States. In
Georgia a party paper has been estab.
lished at Atlanta, which is doing quiet
but effective service. In Alabama the
Republican State Committee has been
recognized, aud an address has been
issued calling q State Convention at
montgomery on July 4. There are con-
ditions in both these States which are
encouraging to the Republicans. The
recent declaration Of the Alabama Dem
ocrsts for q white mans government
shows that the Bourbons have full con.
troll Of that organic ition, and when the
Bourbon obtains sway in the party there
is sure to be a split sooner or later. In
Georgia the Democratic majority is so
enormous it is full OF dissensions, and at
the mercy Of independent movements.
By using discretion, and combining with
independent candidates against the old
negotiating elements Of the DemocrA.
cy, the Southern Republicans may do
valuable service for their party in the
fall elections,

A Submerged City in the Lake or
Geneva.

A strange discover is reported from
the lake of Geneva. A tourist having
lost his trunk, two divers were employed
to search for it. While they were below
water they found what they supposed to
be village covered by the lake. Their
statements led to an investigation of the
spot by the municipal authorities, who
took measures to ascertain the truth of
the extraordinary account of the divers.
On covering the placid surface with oil,
these latter were able to distinguish the
plan OF town, streets, squares, detached
houses marking the bed of the lake.
Tne ruddy hue which characterized them
led the observers to suppose that the
buildings had been covered with famous
vermillion cement which was used by the
Celts, Cimbri and the early Gauls. There
are about two hundred houses arranged
over an oblong surface near the middle
of which is space more open, supposed
to have been used for public assemblages.
at the eastern extremity lies a large
square tower, which was taken for rock.
A superficial Investigation seems to indi-
cate that the construction of the build
lngs date from some centuries before the
christian era. The council of Vaud has
decided to have the site of dwellings en-
closed by a 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-
erles OF our day.-Loazon DAILY Telegraph.

Saying and Doing.

His first battle tells the courage Of the
soldier. Many think before the battle
that nothing can frighten them. When
it begins they are panic stricken, and dis
grace themselves by cowardice. Col
Chester, OF Connecticut, who commanded
company of his townsmen at Bunker
Hill, used to tell good story of two OF
his soldiers III that battle. A large and
powerful man. standing by the side of a
pale-taced youth of slender figure, said to
his comrade:
oman, you had better retire before the
fight begins: you will faint away when
the bullets begin to whiz around your
head"
The pale STRIPPING replied
II don't know but I shall, as never
heard one; but | will stay and see.'
He did stay, and was seen by Col.
Chester during the battle, calm and firm,
loading and firing with great GOODNESS.
But the burly giant by his side was miss
ing. and at the retreat was found alive
and unframed, secreted under hay
cock. Boastful words and moral courage
to face any danger rarely gotogether.
