The enterprise of extending the
Springfield Southern from Jackson to
lockwood Opposite Huntingdon is in
the hands Of men of means and mus
Gle, who hesitate at no obstacle, and
who know no such word as fail. The
road will be completed to the Ohio
River at an early day. So much is
certain. And it is very certain that the
Northwestern line will also be built.
And, further, all this is to be done
without pecuniary aid from the points
in Virginia which we have mentioned
the people Of which points are to en-
Joy in common with us the advantag-
es which are to grow out of the enter
prise. The Chesapeake and Ohio road
has, from the day of it's completion to
Huntington, lacked a Western outlet
and has relied, solely, on that very un-
trustworthy stream, the Ohio River,
for connection with Cincinnati. With
in a year from the present time the
citizen of Richmond or Staunton can
reach Cincinnati, readily, from Hun
tington, by way of the Springfield
Southern to jackson and Greenfield,
and by way Of the Marietta road, from
Greenfield via LoYeland, and can reach
the Northwest by way Of Springfield.
We take pleasure in extending Spring
fields greeting to her prospective Vir-
ginia neighbors, and hereby take an
early opportunity to invite them to
come and see US. They will find the
latch-string out and twenty thousand
people ready to take them by the
hand.

the promoters Of the war for the I'm
ion, he soon began to be regarded as a
champion on the Republican side.
His course proving very acceptable to
his Maine constituency, he has been
reelected repeatedly, and still serves
as its representative at the council of
the Nation. On his election to the
Fortieth Congress he received as the
candidate of the Union Republicans
14,900 votes, against his opponents
$500.
Mr.. Blaine is far from common
place in appearance and bearing. He
is above the medium height, yet his
frame is so strongly and compsctly
built that he does not seem tall. Upon
well-rounded and powerful trunk is
set his large and well-developed head,
with its strong, expressive, and really
handsome features. His eyes are bril-
liant and keen, their expression of
vigilance being increased by the deep,
overhanging brows. A writer whose
political leaning is rather toward the
side which is in opposition to the mo-
tives and measures Of the Maine states
man, thus describes him when engag-
ed in debate: ''When he rises to speak
you are at once impressed with his
wonderful vigor. vitality, nerve pow
er. He is quick, agile, and strong in
his movements, stepping backward
and forward in the aisle as argument
leads him in aggressive movements
toward his opponents or persuasive
efforts with his friends. He treads
lightly, but firmly; his gestures, if
studied, became second nature to him
long ago, and are now made with I'M
conscious grace and strength, and he
emphasize point with either hand in
a mastery way that would indicate
some practice with the boxing gloves.
His style of speaking is clear, rapid,
vigorous. The magnetism of his au-
dience and the spirit Of the occasion
thrill and enkindle him, and he dash.
es impetuously on in his argument.
Not little of his influence is due to
his rich, manly voice, which he pours
out until it fills the hall of Represen-
tatives without uttering a false tone
or giving an infection that would be
out of place in a conversation with a
friend. He can, in one word, make
speech without overstraining himself
or falling into mannerisms."
He is a great favorite in Washing
ton, the galleries being usually filled
with richly-dressed ladies if he is ex-
pected to take the floor on some i'm
portant question. AS an orator he is
skillful in the use of invective and
sarcasm, and often appears to over
master opposition by reason of the
physical superiority evidenced through
his oratory, his self-possession never
deserting i'm in the most trying crises
of controversy.

James G., Blaine.

The man who has contested with
all others since the death of ThaddeuS
Stevens for supremacy in leadership
among Republican members Of Con-
gress is very reasonably suggested as a
proper candidate for illustration on
our pages, From 1862 Nh. Blaine
has been representative OF his State
in Washington, and almost from the
first conspicuous as a man Of positive
opinions, and bold and aggressive in
their assertion.
He was born in Washington Coun-
ty, Pennsylvania, January 81, 1880,
his ancestors being among the early
settlers Of that State, from the North
of Ireland, but having a large infu-
sion Of Scottish blood in their veins.
Ephraim Blaine, his great-grandfath-
er, was honorably distinguished as an
officer during the Revolutionary war,
and it is said that the preservation of
the Federal army while stationed at
Valley Forge, from the horrors of
starvation, was in great degree ow-
ing to his exertions.
Mr.. Blaine completed his youthful
education at Washington College, and
Immediately after his graduation re
moved to Maine, where he commenced
literary career, finding employment
as editor on the Portland Advertiser,
and subsequently on the Kennebec
Journal. In these connections he
pursued no negative course in matters
of a political nature, and was soon re-
garded as a rising exponent of Repub-
lican principles.
In 1858 he was nominated and elect
ed for membership in the State Legis-
lature from the city Of Augusta, and
served two years. Then he was chos-
en- Speaker or the House, and filled
that position with ability and credit
until 1862, when he was elected by a
good majority to Congress, and took
his seat at its thirty-eighth session.
In this new legislative field he found
ample range for his vigorous intellect,
and taking an advanced stand among

- Prehistori9 Mexico. 4

Very interesting discoveries have been
made by M. Desire Charnay in ancient
cemeteries high up ON the slopes of the
volcanoes Popocatapetl and Itztacci-
hutal. The burial place on the latter
mountain is high above the line of veg
citation. Just'below it is small valley
almost concealed on three sides bv a
natural bulwark of stupendous rocks.
Access to this singular dell seemed at
first impossible, in fact was SO difficult
as to lead M. Charnay to doubt the ira
dition of Chichimecan village having
existed in such place. Excavations
have led to the supposition that this
narrow valley had been a. temporary
refuge of the Toltecs, perhaps as early
as the year 900. It bore evidence too
OF having been inhabited by the Chichi-
mecca Indians. Idols and household
utensils similar to those found in ruined
Chichimecan villages were dug up from
adepth OF from three to four feet. Sim
gularly, too, there were found near the
surface Aztec relics, which proved that
at comparatively recent date this nat
ural stronghold had served as place of
concealment for q third tribe. ! Tradi-
ton says that after the Spanish con-
quest in 1920 few spirited Aztecs and
Tlatelolcos, rather than submit to sls-
very or accept the doctrines of the in
vaders, fed with their .slares and
penates " to this mountain fastness and
subsisted on corn, frijoles and other
vegetables, burying their dead as near
the "snow line" as possible. MANY
Aztec idols, vases and jars were un-
earthed there.-Scientifc american. s.

Ancient Carchemish.-.The Unearthing
Of the Hittite Capital.

The discovery of the ancient CITY of
Carchemish, the Hittite capital, on the
west bank of the Euphrates, twenty
miles below the Arab town of BerediiiE.
has opened up a new chapter in the his.
tory OF art and civilization. 1t is iden-
titled with the Roman city of Hierapolis,
which was largely built out of the ruins of
old Carchemish, and was first visited by
y. II. Skene, the British Consul at Aleppo,
in the winter of 1S74-5. During the
previous spring, while visiting some
Bedouin Arabs, Mr.. Skene heard that
ancient stones had been found AMONG
the ruins at Kalaat Jerablus. He inn
mediately went to the spot and took
measures for the protection of the curl
Gus sculptures that had been unearthed.
When the late George Smith passed
through Aleppo. on his way to Nineveh,
he visited the site. copied the inscrlp-
tons and communicated the news of the
discovery to the British Museum. He
was as fully convinced as Mr.. Skene
had been that these ruins marked the
site of Carchemish, the capital of the
Hittite kingdom. The evidence which
established this Identification was main
ly founded on data furnished by Assy-
rian historical inscriptions, which re-
cord most accurately the situation of
the various cities visited by the Assyri-
an monarchs. The evidence reached
the point of certainty when an Assyrian
inscribed brick was discovered bearing
the name and titles of Saigon (B. c.

Archery in Style Now.

Archery is a favorite sport in the
neighborhood of Boston and promises
to send that imbecile game known as
croquet into. absolute forgetfulness. I
went to one of their ''meets,n or what
ever it may be called, at a pleasant
place called Watertown, and in a syl-
van retreat with grass plot in front
found small band of archers and four
targets set up. Each archer shoots
three arrows, which shooting is called
an send" Eight ends make a score.
The visitors in whose company I went
came off the conquerors, as it turned
out they were the more skillful archers
among the girls in the country. The
sport is almost a revival of ssmerrie
England" when Robin Hood was mon
arch OF the forest. The graceful pose
in drawing the bow, and the extraordi-
nary skill OF the young lady archers, each
exciting special admiration. It is the
easiest thing in the world to look at.
and the most difficult thing to do, this
archery, should Judge, from the an
tics OF novice who then and there first
took bow in hand. He drew the bow
string to his ear and away sped the
shaft. to land in the ground ten feet in
front OF him. His next effort sent the
arrow fifteen feet away, when with a
borrowed exclamation of I'M. p, mer-
ciful powers" he dropped the bow and
vanished into ignominious obscurity.
The distances for shooting range from
forty to one hundred yards, and at the
latter distance to send shaft into the
"clout," the golden center of the tar
get. is to write the archer down a
marksman. There is to be three-days'
archers' tournament on the grounds of
the eccentric Baker, the sewing ma
chine party, commencing on Wednes-
day next, and it is supposed the Gov
ernor of the State will be present and
give away the prizes. The Governors
OF Massachusetts, have always been very
obliging in calling ''on folks" staff and
all, and there is apparently no danger
OF the title getting rusty for want of
use.-Boston Cor. Louisville Courier.

Z Selling Stock.

A writer in. . recent. nnmber ROT the
Mich Zestw'sg, on the danger to German
agriculture from foreign competition.
says that his. own experience of fifty
years has taught him that regular soil.
ing of cattle is best for the farmer and
his fields. bringing in greater profit and
maintaining the fertility Of the land at q
higher point that twice as much fod-
der can be produced on given surface
when the forage plant is allowed to
grow as cultivated crop and reach !
certain degree of maturity than when
as in pasture, it is continually cropped
Oft and trodden down. He believes. a
do all the best German writers On the
subject, that the most successful system
OF agriculture in the long run il that'in
which large quantity Of stock is kent
and fed well, and a careful rotation OF
crops is followed, in which the same
crop Is never put twice in succession ON
the same land. The soiling system
makes 1T easier to carry out the, second
part CT his programme, and the greater
variety OF crops that can be raised on a
long rotation provides a greater variety
OF fodder for the stock; so that these
two features of the best modern aeri-
cultural practice work admirably to-
gether. The selling system provides !
more uniform ration in respect to duan-
tity, and avoids much less Of manure. II
may be pretty safely affirmed that the
dropplngs OF cattle in the pasture are
more than half wasted by drying in the
sun, or by too strong dosing with ma
nure In isolated spots. here and there.
Where land is cheap and abundant and
cannot be profitably cultivated and car
ried up to high degree of fertility.
pasturage over large portion of the
farm may be allowable, but when hiph
farming pays pasture land is q poor IN
vestment and may eat up a large part
of the profits from the cultivated fields
