A Pleasant Meeting OF the Classical So
efefy-Archeologieal Art.

The regular meeting of the Classical
Society was held last evening at Miss Ransom's
studio, President ShellRbarger in the chair. The
essayist Of the evening, Professor De Haas Of the
Smithsonian Institute, read an able paper on
Archaeological Art" Commencing with rapid
survey Of archaeological discoveries in the Old
World-the Moabite stone, the Cypriote collection
of General Di Cesnola, the Egyptian obelisks the
explorations of DR.. Schlieman, and the laeustrine
remains in Switzerland-he proceeded to
speak more at length of the remains
of former civilization discovered in our
own country, particularly in the basin of the Mis-
sissippi. He said that the mounds there found may
be divided into those of sepulture, defense, and OBJ
servation civil or religious). He then proceeded
to describe the construction of these mounds, and
the mural works often found in connection with
them, as well as the pottery and other
objects found buried under them. He closed
with reference to the explorations of
the French in Mexico and Yucatan aided
by donation of S25, 900 by wealthy New Yorker),
and paid a warm tribute to Hon. J. W. Keifer, VI.
C., for procuring for the first time, an appropria-
ton of So 000 for archaeological researches in our
own country land which Professor de Haas is to
have charge of.
Judge Shellabarger followed with few remarks,
and then called on Rev. Dr. Gregory, who responded
with brief but most interesting address on the
subject of archaeological discoveries in Europe and
their bearing on ethnolOgy. Miss Frances E. Will
lard, the temperance orator, being called on for
remarks, diSclaimed any knowledge of the sub
ject under discussion, but paid compliment to
DR.. Gregorys work as an educator in Illinois, and
presented q question on which she would like to
be enlightened-the probable location of the Gar
den of Eden The discussion of the subject, includ-
ing that of palaolithic man, Professor Whitney's
Calaveras skull, the evidences that DR.. Schlieman
had really discovered Troy, was continued by DR..
Gregory, Professors De Haas, Taylor, and Elliott,
and Messrs. Flynt and Tilley On motion of Gen
eral W. H. Browne, vote of thanks to Professor De
Haas and DR.. Gregory was passed, and Judge Shell
labarger stated that beautiful bouquet of flowers
on the table was present from Mrs. Garfield. 1t
was announced that DR.. Gregory would read a
paper at the next meeting on /" The Arts and Sci
eures of the Nineteenth Canturvn

Pray excuse my wicked talk.

Wooed by every passing wind,
BY those heels, SO wondrous swift,
Which can men DER tree tops lift,
BY those ears that droop so low,

BY those ribs i long to haste,
BY your show of d. b. taste,
BY the melancholy bray
That alarms folks miles away,
BY your stern resolve to whoa,

Not by the lightning and thunder {;

there is leisure aud tho means Of

GENTLE INFLUENCES.

Soft winds, over flower fields blown,
by their fragrant breath are known,
Dew, by freshened leaves confessed,
Wets unseen earth h'sslumbering breast
hiils, from out the bleak hillside,
swell to rivers, deep and wide;
Rivers flowing fast and free,
Widen to the boundless sea;
All great things that move the earth
10 gentle issues owe their birth;
And soft influence still is best,
bringing comfort, love and rest.

And to loftier action move,

THE DRUM.
ny JAMEs ". RILEY.

oh the druml
There Is some
information in the grum
Monotony OF utterance that strikes
the spirit dumb,
As We hear
Through the clear
And unclouded atmosphere.
Therumbling palpitations roll It upon
the earl
There's part
OF the art
or the music throbbing heart,
That thrills q something In US that
awakens with a start.
And In rhyme
With the chime
And exactitude Of time
Goes marching on to to glory to thy
melody sublime.
And the guest
OF the breast
That thy rolling robs Of rest
Is q patriotic spirit as Continental
DIRE ssed;
And he looms
From the glooms
OF century Of toinbs.
And the blood he spilled at Lexington
in living beauty blooms,
And his eyes
Wear the guise
or a nature pure and wise
And the love of them il lifted to u
smoothing in the skies
That is bright
Red and white,
With blur OF starry light.
AS 1t laughs in silken ripples to the
breezes day and night.
There are deep
Hushes creep
Ger the pulses as they leap.
And the murmur, fainter growing, on
the silence falls asleep;
While the prayer
Rising there
Wills the sea and earth and air
As heritage to Freedoms sons and
daughters everywhere.
Then with sound
As profound
AS the thunderings resound,
Come thy wild reverberations in a
Anda-ertyhat shakes the ground.
Flung on high
Like the big flag Il flutters by,
Wings rapturously upward till it mes
ties In the sky.
