Underground Treasures in Tur-
kew

General Lew Wallace, in recent letter
from Constantinople to the editor of the
Charlottesville Und.J Review says:
Speaking of books, or rather of writ
ing, good Heavens! what an amazing
wealth of material is lying here just wait
ing to be picked up, begging to be used;
and to think nobody has ever touched it
except poor old Sir Walter, and he only
in his last days of glory. Count Robert
of Paris, strange to say, is his poorest
work. Every paragraph, was about
to say every line in it. gives evidence
of the tOrtures he was enduring. | re-

as Count Roland and his ferocious wife.
Apropos of them, Professor Grosvenor

of Belisarius. We were waiting in front
of an old mosque for the keeper to come
with the key to let us in. | had just
said that all this ground belonged to the
Emperors, when, glancing about, saw
WdSuOuI III Luo edFtIl. Looking uOWn
into the hole, sure enough, there,
through tangle of roots from the trees

this the site of the palace of the Com

q pity ons of the diggers who go
about among the bones of the
Tothmes and the Pr Jams, couldn't set
privileges to look under the earth here
about. AS in Jerusalem, houses in
Stambul are built on top of houses-one
two, sometimes three deep. It is use
less, however, to ask teskerot for such
q purpose. What you found would be-
long to the owner of the property ding
up. Not long ago, Turk was scratch
ing the surface of his yard to lay the
foundations of new wall, He ex-
humed three statues of exquisite Greek,
perfect, except dis coloration. They were
greatly admired. One gentleman is said
to have offered Sc, 900 for them. Come
back next week, said the lucky finder.
The party went buck. Here, you can
have them for nothing and with the
words the proprietor showed a lie of
powdered marble. He had employed the

First Man Killed on Free Soil.

d. u. Shook, of Greencastle, Pa, sends
to the Philadelphia Times the following
account of the first fatal ARRAY during
Lees invasion of Pennsylvania. The
first man who fell upon free soil in the
rebellion was killed at Greencastle, Pa,
the first town on Lees route to Gettysburg
after he crossed Mason and Dixon's line.
It was Corporal William Fl. Rihal, Com
pany G, First New York Lincoln Caval-
nv. He and his company on the ed OF
June, 1868, came as lar as Greencastle,
scouting. They drove the enemy's pick
cts before them until they reached this
place, where they were met by supe-
rior force of Jenkins Cavalry and some
infantry hidden in field. The enemy
fred into the Union scouts, killing Riahl
instantly and wounding several others
among whom was Sergeant Cafferty, who
fell into the enesmv's hands and lay at
citizens house near by until his wounds
healed. Riahl was Philadelphian, but
was in New York company. His body
was buried in field where it fell, but
was afterward disinterred and buried 10
our cemetery by the citizens. We have
asked the legislature for monument to
mark the resting-place of this hero, who
was first to fail in the defense of his state
and who shed the first blood that was
drawn on free soil.

Halter Breaking Helfers.

Heifers should never be allowed to
grow UP to milking time without having
been halter broken. While young, and
consequently great deal more manage
able, they should he taught to stand
around and become familiar with being
handled, so that when an attempt is
made to milk them, they will not be
frightened or inclined to kick. The
plan is a good one Of putting halters on
heifers and tying them up in stalls the
same as horses, where they can be
taught to stand around, back up and
step forward at the word, and by being
lead out to water, they can easily be
taught to follow the halter The udder
and teats should be handled frequently
and the card and brush used often.
When these pains are taken, much an
noyance may be saved afterwards and

and gentle habits will he more than

went to California, and was an;independ-

1t seems no doubt to many q reader OF
Macauley's History as if he wrote with
out effort, and as If the charms of his
style were the gift of nature rather than
the product Of art, 80 spontaneously do
they appear to flow from his pen. 1t
was the general opinion Of his literary
friends that he wrote with great rapidity
and made few corrections in his manu-
scripts. On the contrary, we are told
by his nephew and biographer, that he
never allowed sentence to pass until it
was as good as he could make it, and
would often rewrite paragraphs and
whole chapters, that he might gain even
a slight Improvement in arrangement or
expression. After writing thus careful
ly he corrected again, and his manuscripts
were covered with ensures. He paid
equal attention to proof-sheets. He
could not rest until the lines were level
to a hairs breadth, and the punctuation
correct to comma; until every para
graph concluded with telling sentence
and every sentence flowed like running
water.

think that they were not rightly named

Cold Months Last Year,

Last year, May 9Th, there WAS Sc
we're frost, making ice an Ell shth of an
inch thick. A long cold storm occurred
May 14th and 10Th. Early potatoes
were just breaking through. We sowed
our first field corn not until May 18th.
Cold, gray skies continued from this
date until the middle of June. AS late
as June goth melons were scarcely up
and our corn was but four inches high.
Grape buds were just beginning to open.
We remember it was thought that the
grape crop would prove an entire failure.
Up to June 30th the weather continued
cool and wet. Then began dry weather
running into Il drought-just reversing
the conditions favorable to corn, though
very favorable, to oats.-Rural New
Yorker.

"MOseo the BOwery Boy.

Some thirty years ago great drama
tic hit was made by Frank Chanfrau in
the character of Nose, the original Of
which was buried in New York Monday.
The type has entirely disappeared, and
the younger men of to-day can form no
conception of it. In the days of hand
fire engines, "the machine" was the idol
of a class of men who were noted for
their courage, simple heartedness, vul-
garity, and swagger. The swagger of
Nose was peculiar, and when he disap-
peare it passed away. We have before
us a picture Of this character. who was
once of more importance in New York
than a president. He has tall "plug"
hat, red shirt, black trousers rolled in
broad rolls over the boots, an overcoat
under his arms, and a cigar in his fin
gers. His face is smooth shaven, hair
long, with lock rolled In front of each
ear. His chin is pushed forward-and
this gives an indescribable air of impu-
dence to the whole personality, and is
the leading peculiarly of Nose. TT is
told of Thackeray that he was particu-
larly eager to converse with Nose when
he visited New York, and when one of
Gu6 CldSS was polHLSu OuI VI ulIi, uc
asked friend: "Can speak to him;
and what shall saw" "Oh, anything"
said his friend. ASK him your way;
he is affable enough" And the tall
Thackeray walked up to the rather
short, red-shirted American and said,
after some hesitation: 81 want TO 90 to
the Bowery." Looking up at the speak
err, Nose pushed his chin forward and
amiably answered: well, we can go,
sonny, eff We don't stay long" It is diff
cult to understand, from reading the
Ines of Mr.. Chanfraus play, now this
character should have made such hit
on the stage, but it is q fact that for
many months Mr.. Chanfrau played the
part three times night-at two New
York theaters and at Newark. Mr..
Chanfrau is said to have studied the
character of his brother, who was bur-
led Monday, and who wss the ideal
fireman in the old days.
