The Lion of Charonea.
from the Athen@um.l

The excavation of the Lion of Che-
ronea has been of late busily prosecuted.
A few weeks ago the result was the dis
coyery of 260 corpses; some forty only of
the glorious dead are missing. Two of
the corpses lately dug up still bear upon
them the marks of having died for free
dom and country. The one bears in his
breast a spear, the other was pierced by
two spears, which still remain in the
pelvis. NJ Stamatakis, who from his
various excavations is well known as
superintendent of such works, has used
a method similar to that employed bv
Fiorelli on the bodies found at Pompeiii
in order to preserve the corpses slain at
Cheronea in gypsum, and they are to be
placed In the museum at Athens. They
will be as nameless as the corpses pre-
served at Pompeii, but they will not be
obscure slaves and women who could
not escape the fury of the elements.
The spectators will behold the noble re-
mains of those who, if they did not save
their native land, yet died gloriously for
her. The museum which is adorned
with their remains will, therefore, serve
Its true purpose of a Walhalla. ~
