Two Republics: Probably in no other
country in the universe are there more
buried treasures than in Mexico. Nearly
every week ceses Of unearthipg tfeaR
nres are reported in some part Of the re.
public. Banks In Mexico are OF recent
origin. which fact, with the former inae-
curity from revolutions, probably in q
measure accounts for the present finding
OF 30 much coin and jswelry. The Gus
tom OF sinking money under bricks in
the floor and plugging it in holes in the
walls commenced with the occupation Of
the country by the Spaniards. Even
until to-day tine custom Is In vogue in
many parts of Mexico.
The frequent revolutions With which
Mexico was CURSED up to twelve years
ago made 10 o necessity for the priests to
have secret vaults to store the orna-
ments OF the wax images, the service OF
the church, and the tithes. That by
death, sudden departures, and other
causes the vaults with their treasures in
time should Fave been lost to the world
is not miraculous. The latest discovery
OF q treasure has just been made in this
city. A woman of advanced years has
lived for a short time in q room in the
old Regina convent. on Regina street.
She paid no rent. her quarters being
given her by a charitable person
whose name is not known. One day
while the old woman was driving a nail
In q Of the walls she noticed
ltbas 1t went in easily, not giving
the required resistance. Inn
PEELED by curiosity the com.
menced to make an excavation in the
wall. In which che found q number OF
pieces OF silvelwsre, which 1t is snppos-
ed, formed o part OF the convert church
service. The woman made the discovery
known to her benefGctor. who took ont
the pieces OF plate, severely %reprimand-
ing her for her curiosity, and also telling
her that they belonged to h,m and that
sne must keep. the secret, promising that
ne would give her q piece OF land where
she could peacefully pass the rest of her
IN the room, however. and soon after
made another excavation In the wall, in
which she discovered O sealed Ola (earth-

ed $40 or $50 in old coine, q yeliquafy
in which wsas the wax bust Of a monk ON
which ives q hardly legible inscription,
and, moreover. some documents or deeds
to houses, and telling OF q hidden
treasure with all the descriptions where

woman did not sell the charitable person
OF her discovery. She went end CON
suited q lawyer, to whom she took ell
the documents found with the exception
OF the one telling of the place where the
treasure was hidden. II is said that o
gentleman who learned OF the discovery

land where the treasure is supposed to
be buried and has already commenced

We have seen how the literary educa-
ton which we now consider 50 essential
was regarded in England-as ungentle-
manly. It's not so long since the ply
stefan or leech was, as Hallam says, san
inexhaustible theme Of popular ridicuie. .
The BARRIERS pole, SO common in our
streets, recalls q time, not SO long past,
when the barber practiced bloodletting
and other medical arts. It Is within our
own memory that the dentist stood on a
level with the barber; indeed, etwo were
often the same person. How is it that all
this is changed; that literature, medicine
and dentistry have become gentlemanly
occupations? Simply, / think, because
they are now taught scientifically and
Institutions have been established for
That purpose. Ttmay be laid down as q
general rule that whatever is taught Iii
school will soon become respectable and
gentlemanly, while hat which is picked
up In the home or the workshop will al
ways be regarded as. menial.-Professor

full of all ANN of kindness. As he
describes it, "Mr. Grant seemed to turn
his eye round, and brought his eyebrows

The noble brother proved every whit

Turkish Razars.

The bazars of Co%nstantinople, or the
Tcharshu. Is they are called by the ma
tives, are situated on one of the famous
hills Of that oriental metropolis, facing
the Bosphorus. They are unlike n
other places Of traffic, being altogether
sui generis both in construction and de-
sign. To give the reader an idea of their
singular nature they may be compared
to the public markets of this country,
though they differ In extent and internal
arrangement. Imagine an entire city
ward with its numerous blocks embraced
I n n edifice o. Enclosure, with its
streets, lanes and alleys arched ever and
devoted to commerce. These bazars
are built of stone and are one story high.
Each street is allotted to some particular
branch or class of merchandise; thus.
there is spice bazaar, called Missir-tchar-
shu, where all kinds Of drugs, spices
and dye stuffs are sold, including the
famous henna, and the e%xhilarating
hashish is procured.
There are the perfumery bazars, where
the most fragrant perfumes, the ottar Of
roses, Khurtz tenroofs and ether odor-
ferrous pastiles and essences fill the at
mosphere with their delicious fragrance;
thes ilk bazaar, the dry goods bazaar, of
which there are two, the Kalpa Kdjebar-
bashi and the Uzoon-tcharshu, or the
Broadway and the Bowery of C~onstanti-
nople. BESIDES these is the Yaghiukdii-
lar, where the most varied and exquisite
embroideries are displayed. The KAT
fafiar, or shoe bazaar, Is an institution
peculiarly oriental. There one sees the
meeting Of the west and the east in the
motley collection of wares, the clumsy
Oriental chaussers, with the patent
leather boots; the tehedik-Pabbootcha or
the walking shoes of the Turkish ladies
Of the Ancien regime, alongside of the
tiny CATERS of varied colors, for the
modernized hannums (ladies). The Jew
elry bazaar is also a prominent feature of
the tcharshu, for it is much frequented
by all classes.-Cor. St, Louis Republic.

Professor Proctor,s Lecture.

Notwithstanding the elect and snow
quite a respectable audience showed
their appreciation of the researches OF
science by Drawing the inclemency OF the
weather to greet Professor Proctor last
night. His subject was the same as the
first of the course when here several
years ago, but was so full Of fresh mat
ter that it would never have been recog-
nized as twice-told tale. His
"yiews" were delightful accompani-
ments to his lucid and graceful language,
and were probably the most distinct aud
beautiful, as well as exact and reliable,
copies of valuable star-maps that have
ever been exhibited.
The " Life ola World was graphically
and tersely pictured through its various
stages OF babyhood," youth, middle
life, and old age, and the fiery youth OF
the sun, the sober noondaJ Of the
earth, and the weird desolatlon OF that
dead planet the moon, were wildly
deineated by word and by picture.
The Professor showed that the pro-
phccy "there shall be no more sea y
was the language of science as it is OF
revelation.
Tonight the Professor proposes to
continue the line OF thought in desert
bing" Other Suns than Ours, and those
who were so unfortunate as to miss the
rare privilege Of hearing him last night
should not fail to be present to enjoy one
of the latest and most interesting lee
lures.
