Discovery of Buddhist Relics.

Mr., Campbell, of the Bombay Civil
Service, has recently discovered numuc
oil interesting Buddhist relies by exca-
vating huge mound to the southeast VI
Juuagadh, in Katy war. Ten years ago b
eimilar discovery by the same gentleman
near Sopart excited great Interest among
anliquarllus; but the new, or Glrnal,
mound IL far larger than that at Sopars.
1t is about % feet high and $50 yards
+, uhd, and both are believed to date
"A on $50 b. G. "On the l6th of JanI
arg the rXcavGiors came on the relic box
or Golfer, to guard which the mound was
originally constructed. 1t was OF stone,
about IA inches square and nine inches
deep. Inside this was a re dish stoIle
casket, winch, again, contained copper
box or bottle, almost round IN sha G and
about . inches across. This was grsdn
with verIigris, aud con aimed silver box
which, again, contained rod ID, spike
topped gold caskct, In shape and s lHe
q small chestnut, and Sill Lrl- hi anil nh
tarnisbed after 1000 Years 1t was l3- l6
inches high and g inch aci oss, and it cob
tanned seven articles, six being inteudfd
Tor the protection Of the seventh. These
were four precious stones and two SIN, II
pieces of wood. Tie seventh was fra X
ment of what appears to be bone about
the size OF tie little lugsr nail"

alone, the mother or aunt always acting
as, not cbaperon, but companion.
They know nothing about shopping,
larks, slang, chums or ieaux, and there
never has been time so merry or party
so gay that these beautiful creatures
were induced TO leave the terri
BILE infldel and bis wife. Similar
examples of family devotion there must
be among Orthodox" people, but greater
devotion 1t would be impossible to End.
The eutlre family has passion for
music, and 1t is not an unusual thing for
the mother and daughters to call at the
lawyers office and drag him of to some
symphony or oratorio uptown or over In
Brooklyn, leaving a group Of clients in
open-eyed wonderment.

THE MANTLE OF CHARITY.

Too oft Is the mantle of charity
Thrown over the rich and the great,
W no happen to full by the wayside
or beneath the great dome of the State
To bring such to justice would be shame
full,
And offend the great lords OF our land,
Who rise through the aid of the crcu-
lures
On whom they would spare not the
wand.
If a chance to add gold to their Golfers
Is offered through those same crca-
lures fail,
And men Will forever he scorned
Who bow down to uught on this ball.
oh, frail human nature, tits like you,
oplny hide and go seek and tagg,"
too,
But thou'rt far safer under the broad
cloth
Than under the overalls blue.
There's refuge In gold for its owner,
Aud n Clod for the sinner who's poor,
And sentiment over the burglar
When it's found he's cullegc-brct
boOr.
Let us mend this mantle of charity,
Worn out hiding sin1 of the Iich.
W Inc tile poor huN been shown up 70

Ever since Eve gave the ilg leaves TIN

About fifteen years ago the business
necessity which more than any other
pressed heavily upon tie governments
was that of cheaper transportation
from the Western and Southern states
20 the Atlantic seaboard- The cost Of
transportation was enormous. Farna-
ers were burning their corn in the
Western states for fuel while the
priee in the East &c, those who
needed il for fuel, was high.
The sew York Press, which presents
the facts in 3 striking way. deals with
the figures: We had tl00 miles of
railroads then; we have 10000 miles
now. IL cost cents per ton per mile
TO transport freight then on our trunk
railroads: il costs less than ] cent per
ton per mile now. Ii cost IS cents 70
transport bnshei Of grain from CHI
cagu to New York in 1878, ali rail. ana
10 cents nov. II cost "a cents By lake
and rail then, and only IL cents now.
Ii was a great problem. One OF the
biggest this country ever had to face.
A Northwestern senator took the lead.
He had committee appointed and
was made chairman OF IL. A report
was made which stands to-day as
the basis for all subsequent
reports. II brought together ali
the vast ana complex facts about
the internal commerce OF the country.
II revealed to the country how we had
neglected and treated with apparent
indifference our internal trade. which
was then enormous. The Report of
Transportation Routes to the Sea-
board was u great report. both IN
itself and because ii was the first re-
port of the kind ever made. Its In
finence on legislation in relation TO the
internal commerce Of the country was
tremendous. The Press adds: 1.-THE
author OF the first report and the pio-
neer in his important line of inquiry,
which has brought forth such splendid
