The Old Greek Goldsmith.


The skill i'm beating ont and inlaying
gold and other metals 10 which Homer so
often alludes is attested by the remains
found in the tombs az Mycen9, OF which
perhaps the most Ilomeric are the designs
on the scabbards Of swords, which at the
time when DR.. Schliemann's book APP
pcared were too much incrusted with rust
TO be made out, but which have been re-
Gently engraved and described by Mr..
K0umanoudes. The subjects representa-
on these scabbardS are a liOn-hunt, a
lion attacking a herd of deer, winged
monsters, fish, and plants. The mare
OF the lions are of red gold, their bodies I
paler gold, probably electrum. SO with
the llowers-the stalk, leaves, and
branches are of gold, the calyXes Of elec-
trum. The same distinction OF color is
observed between the sea and the fish
swimming III il, and also in representing
the birds, in which the color OF the blood
flowing from their wounds is Disseminated
from the color OF their feathers. Further
variety is obtained by the Use OF enamel
in portions of the background. In the
description of the ploughing on the
shield OF Achilles, the poet says that the
furrow behind the ploughman was black,
as ploughed land is, although being oi
gold. Probably to produce a change OF
color dark enamel, such AS that found in
the scabbards, was combined with the
gold. Homer, therefore, so far from in-
venting the shield Of Achilles out of his
Imagination, as was formerly contended,
derived many details, both OF subject ana
technical execution, from works OF art
which he had actually seen, and which in
spired him with the conception OF what a
work by the god Hephestos himself might
have been. SO, again, in regard TO the
choice OF subjects on these scabbards, and
throughout the Mycenaan antiquities, they
prove that when lIesiod describs the crown
Of Pandora as ornamented with 'all man.
ner of creatures, such rs the sea and the
land breed" he borrowed these ornaments
| from the art Of his own time.

the conduct of the men who attacked

The white men who had the alterca.

Chinese we're In bed, the camp was
attacked by q crowd of white men,
armed with clubs, who struck down
the Chinese as they rushed out of
their cabins In the dark. Nine were
left on the ground for dead. The
mob then set fire to the houses and
decsmped. As the white men left
some Chinese FASTENED back tc
the camp and tried to put out
the fire, but there being no water every.
thing was burned up. Vie Took died
In the morning, The Chinese rent to
Dyton for wagons to bring the mur-
dered man and wounded to town,
there being no white doctor willing tc
assist the Chinese. The Chinese doc
tor from Yale says three more of the
wounded will die. Nine Chinese had

AUSTIN, Tex, May 17.-Acting
State Treasurer w. B. Workman
brought up an important question
conooYning a class of lands involving
millions of acres and reaching pur-
chasers all over the country. He re.
fused q tender of over $75, 900 made
by various parties for lands purchased.
He explains that certain railroad r
porations holding land certificates
made surveys Of alternate school
sections and had fled notes taken.
Now, parties claiming that these sur
veys were not valid, come forward and
propose to purchase the lands under
