In a recent sermon the Rev. Sam
Jones said: 81 think the finest tomb
stone 1 ever saw, was when 1 was Wis
iting an old friend of mine. After din
ner he took me into the garden and in
the most prominent place there was
erected beautiful tombstone of white
marble, in memory of his wife, and on
it read her name and the date of her
death, and her simple epitaph was this
line: She made home pleasant

Reports from peach sections along
the Hudson Valley, show that the
peach buds were killed beyond doubt
last week, when the mercury fell to
sixteen degrees below zero. This will
be the third year that this crop has
been total failure, and in all proba-
bility the business will be checked for
the future. Delaware will profit by
the misfOrtunes of the growers of the

Miss Katherine Bayard, whose death

Miss Katherine Bayard, whose death
has plunged social Washington, in
gloom, it is said, had studied, among
other things, the ROmany language
and made the acquaintance of many
gypsies, with whom she was a great fa-
vOrite. Meeting one of her gypsy
friends on the street in Baltimore, Miss
Bayard said to her in Romany /:
"Well, Mary, what have you been
doing since last saw you?" and Mary
responded with perfect GOODNESS,
Stealing, miss" The above may be
an apt illustration of what many of
them are engaged in.

The city of Wilmington is gaining
somewhat the reputation for having
within her limits certain class of
young men who resort to writing other
peoples names to checks. The last
case was that of a book-keeper of the
Wilmington Glass Company. He
merely appropriated a check belonging
to the company for which he worked.
1t is thought that dissipation and a too
frequent indulgence in a game called
keno, led him to commit the error.

hundred and forty cents. And her f.
percent. bonds . few days ago we're
eagerly taken up at moro than par.
This most happy condition Of affairs
is more largely due to the continued
domination Of the Democratic party
than to all other causes combined. Our
majority has been SO overwhelming that
we have enjoyed = sense of security
about our city government which We
have never been able to feel about our
State or national affairs. This feeling
of permanency was Away strengthened
by the reflection that the Democratic
party was q white-man's party, and
that the white men Of this city, without
respect to class or creed, were practically
unanimous in It's support. Now ask can
we as men who love our city afford TO
agitate question which must surely
result in dividing the white people, aud
in giving to the negroes the balance OF
power? II was this, among other con-
siderations, which led me as member
Of the Senate to so earnestly urge that
the cities should be exempted from the
operations Of the locsl-option law. The
continued control OF our municipal af-
fairs is matter Of the greatest impor-
lance to our future prosperity. For with
the transfer of the sceptre Of authority
to Republican hands. other and
greater evils will befall our then
unhappy people. Can we afford
to risk so much to gain so little?
But it will be said "this is not polit-
ical question" Neither was the settle
ment Of the State debt, and yet no ques-
ton has ever so distracted and divided
our people as that. The Republicans,
however, will be very glad to make pro-
hibition a political issue, and will not
fail to take advantage Of every opportu-
nifty Of dong so. Already one Of their
leaders, who is also q Prohibitionist, in
sending the news Of the passage of the
bill to northern paper writes "We
shall urge upon our friends that, whilst
they are voting for prohibition, they
ought also to vote for mep to execute
the law" lie doubtless already has
his eye on the Office he wants. Being
forewarned, let us also be forearmed.

THE RICHMOND DISPATCH-SUNDAY. MARCH 81. 1886

refusing to stay in his service. We
trust, too. that employers Of labor
throughout the country, snd oil insslli-
gent and peaceable men Of every call
ing, whether employers Of labor or NOT
will insist now on the abandonment OF
the monstrous theory, which the Knights
Of Labor are either putting forward or
sanctioniDg, that one man has right 70
be hired by another man whether the
other man wants him or not. This
sounds when one sees it in paper so
absurd Is to be lsughable; bat such
doctrine is not laughable when held by
great bodies Of the citizens Of what Is
supposed to be . free country; it il
dangerous. 1t merits the prompt and
uniallering resistance Of every lover OF
his country and his kind. Nothing
much more monstrous and oppressive
was ever concocted in the middle ages
to bolster up the power of feudal lords.
All this boycotting" which is going
on in support of it is simply disguised
form of robbery, and should be met
and stigmatized as such. Working by
all sorts Of methods to injure a mans
business, or, in other words, to damage
his property because he will not hire
you, is no moro moral or respectable
than going to his safe and taking some
Of his money, and it is q pity aud q
shame that it is not as punishable and
as easily punished. Everybody, no
matter what his place or calling, who
encourages it, or even submits to it, or
connives al lit in the case ofhis neighbors,
is an accessory to a most odious offence
against society and against his fellow
man. The moral law has not changed
since the Knights of Labor were organ
lied any more than the law Of the land,
and no change in the law Of the land
which does not take the moral law into
account can possibly work anything but
confusion.
Moreover, the doctrine Of compulsory
hiring is capable of indefinite extension
without losing any Of its force. 1t can
easily be applied to the sale OF any
other commodity as well as labor. If
have the right to insist on another
mans hiring me whether he wants me
or not, and am entitled to kick and cuff
him, and smash his machinery and fur
L.ture, and persuade his neighbors not
TO deal with him in case he refuses, why
may / not do the same thing if he re-
fuses to purchase goods of my manu-
facture? Why might trades union
not set up producing cooperative shop
and carry their goods round to people
for sale, and hit them over the head,
and break their windows, and hang
around their door Kissing aud hooting,
and threatening everybody who at
tempted to enter, in case Of their refusal
to buy? What can be said 10 defence
or justification Of the first Of these per-
formances which cannot be said in de.
fence or justification Of tho second! No
thing that we know Of.
This issue is plain one. 1t must be
met by the American people sooner or
later. The present position OF the
Knights Of Labor is an attempt to in
troduce terrorism and intimidation in
their most odious forms into the every
day life Of that community, Of all in the
world, from the success of which the
workiDgman has most to expect. This
is as good time to meet it as will ever
come

This Is not quite three feet high, and
has much resemblance to the Artsmis
discovered two years ego ct Dslos.
"5. Two fragments Of the legs OF
two statues without torsos. Though
evidently belonging to statues OF the
archaic school, they are executed after
the rules Of the art Of the Grand period,
and are full Of movement and life.
They show . transition towards the
beau ideal.
sc. A large number Of fragments OF
sculpture and architecture, IS also OF
very graceful archaic pillars, and six
archaic Inscriptions engraved on marble.
In one Of these inscriptions can be de-
ciphered the name Evenor, and on
another the name Antenor. The latter
occurs on q pedestal, and has, there
fore, peculiar historical value. 1t
is known that the statues raised
by the Athenians to the two tyran-
nicides, Harmonious and Aristogiton,
were executed by the sculptor Antenor;
that they we're taken away by Xerxes
to Persia, and were restored to the
Atbenians by Alexander of Macedon
or by Antiochus. The pedestal discov-
cred records that Antenor made the
statue placed on it. There is reason to
think that the statues may yet be found
buried in this spot, and this will soon
be ascertaincd. In any case the in
scription is interesting, as also are the
others, which relates to facts eminently
historical.
"Such were the treasures discovered
within three hours, and in the presence
of the King, who happened to be visit.
ing the Acropolis, and remained till
nightfall experimenting the excava-
tons, encouraging the workmen, and
with his own hands cleaning the pre-
cious relics as they emerged from the
soil. The statues and fragments are
not the only products Of recent searches
at the Acropolis. The archeologlst
Kavatias, who began and superin-
tends these excavations, is for
tunate man. The Acropolis Mu-
scum already shows terra-cotta
table eighteen inches square, bear
ing a painted warrior in the atti-
tude of attack with his buckler, on
which is painted a graceful satyr. An
inscription gives his name, the first let
tiers Of which are efaced, but it is be.
leved to be Palamedes. This relic is
inestimable, for it is the sole yestige of
antique painting. The colors are in ad-
mirable preservation. The museum
has also many other fragments Of an
tique tablets and vases, with splendid
paintings, denoting marked progress.
There are also bronze statues of men
and animals deliberately executed. All
these treasures are found on this one
spot, between the Erechtheum and the
statue Of Athena, to the left on leaving
the Propyl@a to go to the Pantheon.
Who deposited these fragments
here, and for what reason, is question
TO be cleared up on the completion of
the excavations. Certain it is that
they constitute of themselves a mu-
scum Of Phidian art quite unique.
Other relics, it is hoped, will be discov-
cred. The Kings presence at the dis
covery was regarded as good omen.
1t seems a presage that regions still
enslaved will soon be under his agis,
and that his hands will be as fortunate
in this enterprise as in the elimination
Of treasures entombed for many CEN
turtles"
