Or. SchIiemann.


DIR. Schliemann resumed last Oeto-
Der the exhumation of the four prehis-
toric cities which he found lying one
above another at Hissarlik, and the
lowermost but one of which he has
identified with King Priam's Troy.
After carrying on his operations for a
couple of months they were cut short
by winter, and in December he paid 8
flying visit to London to add to the
collection bearing his name at the
South Kensington Museum his third
share of the fresh finds Among them
may be named pig in ivory, to match
those in terra-cotta, and above all
dagger of meteoric steel, found in the
Royal Trojan house, the very first iron
turned up by him in any prehistoric
city either in the Troad or the Pelepon-
nesus. According to the last letters
received by the arch@ologist's friends
in London since his return to his home
at Athens, he will resume his work at
Hissarlik on the 1st of March, and
continue it until the 1st OF. June. He
has obtained from the Turkish Govern
ment permission to sink shafts in the
large conical tombs scattered over the
l lain of Troy, and known to local tra-
dition as those of the Homeric heroes,
as well as in the Village of Koum-Kale.
1T is true" he says, "that the six
heroic tun>uli hitherto excavated have
given no result whatever; but attrib-
ute the failure merely to the inexper-
ence of the excavators, and feel con-
fdent that, if not more, shall at least
find in each tomb the key to its chro-
noiogy; nay, venture to promise this
even for those tumuli which have al
ready been excavated." As to Koum-
Kale, it is his firm belief that it covers
theruins of the ancient City Achilleion,
mentioned by Herodotus, StrabO and
Pliny.-N 2. Tribune.

An Absurd Law Of Russia.

A GREAT many persons have an idea
that it is unlawful to touch or attempt
to aid dead or dying man, and that
the first duty is to notify some official.
Lives have been sacrificed under this
.delusion. The first duty is to render
every possible aid and then promptly
to make the facts known to the author
tiles. The contrary idea has been OBJ
tanned from the laws of other Nations,
which are as absurd as they are inhu-
man. Referring to the law Of Russia
in this respect an Eastern exchange
says:
"Among the most extraordinary Of
the tyrannieal regulations Of the Rus
sian police is one which strictly forbids
anyone to touch q dead or dying man
without the direct sanction Of the po-
lice. In consequence Of this arbitrary
enactment, it is no uncommon thing to
see man lying bleeding and helpless
from severe fall, in the streets Of
Moscow or st Petersburg, without any
one daring to assist him. To what an
extent this curious tyranny is carried
may be judged from a single instance.
An English gentleman residing at Pc
terbot, a coast town, about sixteen
miles from st. Petersburg, one morn
ing found his Russian groom hanging
By the neck in the stable, and cut him
down at once, Just in time to save his
life. The next day he received q visit
from the local Inspector Of Police,
who, far from commencing his prompt
humanity, vehemently abused him for
daring to transgress the law. The
Englishman heard him to the end
without a word, and then said quietly,
Well, Mr.. Inspector, I'm extremely
sorry TO have done anything, but III
make all the amends in my power. II
find yoa hanging anywhere, pledge
you my honor I won't cut you down. T"

The new mileage, therefore, was in
1873 "a per cent more than in 1877,
E63 per cent. more than in 1876, 8S per
eeEt more than in 1875 and3 per cent.
mare than in 1874, yet not 40 per cent
OF what was built in 1872.
BO0r's Manual reported 79, 208 miles
In the United States at the beginning
of 1875 adding the above mileage, We
have 2.O64 miles at the end Of that
year. lie Manual, however, does not
usually include roads not opened for
business, Though track may have been
laid on them, and so its statements Of
additions each year never agree with
ours, which aimEo include all new road
on which the track was laid within the
wear, whether opened for business or
not, and sometimes It IS not for months
afterWard.
The revised statement has the names
of 152 railroad companies, which give
them an average length Of IS miles.
The number of narrow-gauge roads
(au 8 feet but one, which was 8 feet 8
inches was So, and their aggregate
length $50 miles, being a. 4 per cent.
of the whole, against 796 miles, or 34.6
per cent. of the whole, in 1877. In
Ohio 1874 miles out of 1921 were Of 8
feet gauge; in Texas, 80 miles out Of
$50; in Pennsylvania, Sc miles out Of
1877; in Indiana, 494 out of 81; in Col
orado, S6{ out of 1874.
We said in commenting on the table
published JRal. 8 that the prospect for
construction IN 1879 seemed good. At
this time it seezns better. Several lines
of considerable length are in in prog
ress, 8 tolerallle number of short lines
have already been prepared for, and
we know that some great companies,
which, have do ne nothing as yet, con
template makiI Y additions Of branches,
which by the way, formed the greater
part of the n,sW construction IN the
Northwest last year. 1t must be re-
membered that but little work can be
done in the winter, and the record Of
mileage completed down to this date Is
an indication Of the amount Of road
bed made ready the previous year
rather than Of proie cts undertaken in
the current year. So III we have up to
date reports Of 391 miles completed
this year, as against 81 in 1877 and 10Y
In 1876, notwithstandin gthefaot that the
winter of 1878 was very muoh more
favorable for railroad building than the
past one has been. And as compare
lively little new wor < is begun unit!
the frost ais out of the ground,
so that q great mIny projects, Tor
which all the calculations are made,
lie dormant until the harvest, and de-
pend upon its result for their imms-
diate realization. A'h excellent harvest
in Minnesota, for instance, would be
almost sure to bring, q large immigra-
ton to the western u lart Of that State,
and thus give a demand for and
justify the imme6ha completion OF
certain lines through the now unoccu-
pied prairies which otherwise might as
as well wait; and u begun after har-
vest, 3 great many miles can be COM
pleted before wintar RAILROAD Gdsefts.

The PrOdigal Son.

From the way in which he turned
out when he grew to be a young man
it is easy enough to conclude what kind
of boy the Prodigal Son was. He
was terribly extravagant from q child.
There wasn't anything in the house too
good for him. Every cent he could
get his hands on he spent for candy
and things. If his mother gave him q
nickel TO put in the contribution box,
he bought peanuts with it on his way
to Sunday-School, eating them all up
on the road, and not caring q cent If
the poor heathen didn't have a peanut
to their back. The money that boy
could spendi He would wear his best
suit week days, and couldn't be in
duced to go barefoot in the summer as
the rest Of the boys had to. He
smoked ten-cent cigars before he was
six years old, while other boys were
satisfied with grapevine.
At ten he wore high standing collars
and plug hat, and the nobbiest suit
q natty little cane, parted his hair In
the middle and sported an eye-glass.
He drank pony brandy. ponying up
twenty-five cents q drink for il, and
spoke of his father as " the Governor"
and his mother as "the old woman"
He was regular patron of the opera,
which he pronounced " Aw, deuced
fine, you knaW," and never missed the
theater matinee.
At an age when boys are usually at
school, this young Prodigal was hang
ing around the bars and billiard-sa-
looms, learning those lessons in vice
and vulgarity which fitted him for the
companionship he was to seek when he
came to his estate. If they had Sunday
night theaters in those days the lad was
undoubtedly regular attendant. And
his father probably had numerous iv-
cry bills to pay for his Sunday riding.
No hOrse-raee came off without that
young reprobate being seen on the
track hat on one side of his empty
head and cigar in his mouth, making
bets with the grown up and otherwise
gray-headed infants around him. And
he probably never missed chicken
dispute or q prize-fght that was any
where within reach. We have all seen
iust such boys, and we know they never
come to any good. There is a respon-
sibility at home for their conduct, fre-
quently, that is apt to be overlooked
A father too much ensvvssed in busl-
ness, or mother too absorbed in So
eiety and fashion to heed what their
boy is doing or what company he
keeps. Or. if his peccadillos are
brought to their attention by some
friend of the family, who doesn't get
any thanks for it, they are only smiled
at and passed by as the natural out
bursts of 8 somewhat too exuberant
nature.
While we have admired the cordial
reception which his parents gave the
Prodigal Son on his return as tramp,
and cannot speak too highly of their
iberality in Staying the pampered bo-
vine to celeb.ate the event, yet we have
always felt there must have been some
thing lacking in the way they brought
the young man up, or he wouldn't
have turned out as he did. But if they
could forgive the P. S. we have no bust
ness to complain Cincinnati Saturday

Railroad Construction in 1878.

WE are very late in presenting Our
annual detailed statement of the mile
age of new road on which track was
laid during the past year; but, as the
substance of it was presented in tabu-
lar form in our first number for the
year, there was less need for early pub
location of this statement, and greater
completeness and accuracy were TO be
hoped for by some delay.
The changes which we have found 1t
necessary to make from that tabular
statement are considerable in number
and not trifing in amount, especially
when we consider that too large a mile
age was reported then for several
roads. In manv cases it is extremely
difficult to get accurate information,
and the inaccurate statements that are
made by parties who ought to be well
informed are quite disheartening. We
cannot hope that the statement pub
lished to-day is entirely correct and
complete, but great pains have been
taken to make it so; official informa-
ton having been sought in every case
of doubt.
The result of this corrected state
ment gives a total of 1855 miles of
new railroad in the United States on
which track was lain in 1878, instead
of the 1858 miles reported January 8.
Our new information also compels Us
to add 20 miles to the mileage reported
for 1877, and the totals for the past
seven years compare as follows:

The Old Story OF the Confidence Han
and his Victim.

BETWEEN the hours of six and seven
o'clock yesterday morning, Just as the
busy hustle Of the city was beginning
at the Central Depot, Jonathan Z. Cope
man, of PerTy's Crossing, ShiaWsssee
County, was enjoying the fresh air in
a morning walk along the docks where
the bright blue waves were dancing in
the April sun. Mr.. Copeman had Just
returned from the East, where he had
collected considerable money from the
proceeds of his old homestead. which
he sold on his removal to Michigan, a
short time ago. He felt at peace with
all mankind, and in the goodness of
his heart he was ready to assist any
fellow-traveler. He was presently in
tsrrupted in his walk by a gentlemanly-
appearing fellow with:
"Good morningl Going out on the
trainP'
eyes, 1 take the next train for
home," was the reply.
"Ah, then we shall be fellow-passen-
gers"
And the two were soon well &C
quainted.
"I WISH" said the stranger, "you
would give me little lift with my bag
"Certainly," said Mr.. Copeman.
"It is up here on back street, and
l want to get some one to help me set
it into the express wagon"
The stranger led the Shiawassee
County farmer up Congress street.
They had walked but a block or two
when they were met by man running
at full speed. The breathless new
conner stopped the stranger and said:
al have sent your baggage to the
depot; you'll find it there all right, and
now, if you will Just settle this bill
will be much obliged as am in a great
hurry"
"WeI, now," said the stranger, 81
am sorry, but you will have to accom-
pany me back to the depot, as my wife
has nearly all my money with her"
"But," said the newcomer, 81 have
Just received news of my father death,
and if don't get to the other depot in
fifteen minutes, I shall miss his funer-
al"
Of course the stranger felt very bad
", and Mr.. Copeman sympathized with
both. So much did he sympathize that
when his neW-found friend asked him
for loan of SS5 "just till we get back
to the depot" he counted it out right
away, and the man who had lost his
ather hurried thence.
The felloW-traYelers started to return
to the depot, but on the way back the
stranger excused himself for moment
while he entered q hOtel-and Mr..
Copeman never saw him more.
The facts were reported tothe police,
and at noon Mr.. COpeman left for his
home in ShiaWassee somewhat wiser
for having met the man who was going
out on the same train.-DetTOit Fres

Benefits q SUNLIGHT.

The unusual severity of the present
winter has led good many people to
turn their thoughts and bend their
energies in the direction Of warming
their houses who have heretofore left
all that to the furnace and servants.
There are many precautions that may
be taken, by the Selection of a furnace
large enough for the service required
of L, by providing the chimney with
proper "a bonnet to protect the fues
against adverse winds, IN the construc-
ton Of q house, ETC.; but all these
things require the expenditure Of mon
ey as well as thought, and there are
those people who, with the best of in
tentions, have to take things IS they
find them. There is one simple rule.
however, which almost everybody can
observe without waste of time or ex-
penditure of money, and which will al-
ways make the greatest difference in
personal comfort during the cold sea-
son. This is to cultivate the sunlight
to the largest practicable extent.
In all houses with e north front
it is the positive duty of families occu-
pying them to transfer their living
rooms to the south side of the house
during the winter months. The sun
rises and sets during the six cold
months of the year TO the south of east
and west, so that south rooms are
warmed up by rays of the sun more or
less during the entire day. Those who
have never experimental with the diff
ference win probably be surprised to
learn that there is difference of from
five to twenty-five degrees in the ther-
mometer between the north and south
exposures, five to ten degrees differ
ence in the morning and afternoon, and
from twenty to twenty-five degrees in
the middle of the day. The glass in
windows is a non-cOnductOr of atmos-
pheric cold, while it is an assistance to
the active transmission of the suns
rays of light and heat. Wherever the
suns rays can be enjoyed longest dur
ing winters day is the desirable part
of the house for living purposes.
Due attention to this fact will con-
tribute enormously not merely to the
comfort, but to the health, of the WON.
en- and children, who spend the greater
part of the time within doors in the
winter season. There is vast amount
of talk about ventilation and change of
air as necessary to good health; but
the suppression of the light and me-
phitic sewer gases by afording proper
avenues of escape, and an admission of
all the available sunlight, are the two
chief conditions to good health in
household life. In France, Italy and
Germany, though the winter climates
are not nearly so severe as our own
the benefits Of sunlight are understood
better and cultivated more generally
than among US. The comparative
scarcity and costliness of fuel in those
countries have led the people to take
advantage Of the suns heat to the
largest possible extent; The natural
warmth of the SUMS rays should be
still more cultivated in a cold climate
like this, and any change in house
necessary to the better enjoyment
thereof will save more in the reduced
consumption Of fuel than it can posi-
bly, cost. The south exposure is not
only warmer, but less damp, and in
every way more conducive to good
health than any Chicago TTi6-

An Alpine Adventure.

THERE is one English lady who has
had enough of Alpine climbing. Mrs.
Wainwright and her brother-in-law
undertook month ago the ascent of
the Piz Palur, mountain of the Ber-
nina group. They took with them two
guides, brothers Hans Grass and
Christian Grass. The climbers were
corded together. Christian Grass went
first, next to him came Mr.. Vain
wright, then came Mrs. Wainwright,
and the rear as brought up by Hans.
A thick fog came on. Christian went
too near an edge, when the snow sud
denly gave way under his feet, and he
fell down a precipice, dragging with
him in his fall the English lady and
gentleman. But the rope was strong,
and Hans Grass was man Of gigantic
strength. As he saw his brother dis
appear he drew himself instinctively
backward, and, by sheer force of muscle
and will, held the three lost ones
suspended in the air. He was not
strong enough to drag from the abyss
two men and a woman. To stir, to
yield an inch even, might be certain
death to all-and they were far beyond
the reach of human aid. He shouted
to his brother, dangling at the end of
the rope, ice on both sides of him, snow
above him. The brother answered: he
was alive, unhurt and ready to help if
means could be devised Hans told
him to cling to the icy slope, cut steps
in it and mount, and be quick about it,
for he did not think he could hold on
more than half an hour longer. Mr..
Wainwright had kept his ak. He
handed it to Christian, and the guide
set about cutting the steps as Hans had
suggested. After almost superhuman
exertions, he contrived to crawl up to
the edge of the erevasse; his brother
gave him hand; then the two uniting
their strength, pulled up Mrs. Vain
wright and her hrother-in law Y.
