An Ancient Image discovered.

A valuable archaeological find was
made recently by apoor woman, by name
Jane Honeylow, living short distance
down the coast from Tuxpan, Mexico.
She was engaged in enlarging her little
garden spot, and with grubbing hoe was
digging up a growth of weeds and vines,
when coming in contact with something
hard, which she found impossible to re-
move, che dug around it and found that
object to be an iron boiler such as is used
in ships. 1t was filed up with earth to
the depth of foot and more, and this
being taken out large stone was found
tightly wedged in, forming a sort of lid
or stopper.
This was removed with great difficulty,
but beneath was found what was evi-

image Of the virgin and child in solid

to be inscribed with a Latin dedication

The Galley Slave.

Think of six men chained to bench,
naked as when they were born, one foot
on the stretcher, the other on the bench
in front, holding an immensely heavy
oar as feet long), bending forward to the
stern with arms at full reach to clear the
backs of the rowers in front, who bend
likewise; and then, having got forward,
showing up the oars end to let the blade
catch the water, then throwing their
bodies back on the groaning bench. A
galley oar sometimes pulls thus for ten,
twelve or even twenty hours without a
moments rest. The boatswain or other
sailor in such stress puts piece of
bread stepped in wine in the wretched
rower's mouth to stop fainting, and then
the captain shouts the order to redouble
the lash. If slave falls exhausted upon
his oar (Which often chances) he is fog
ged till he is taken for dead, and then
pitched unceremoniously into the sea-

George Sharp, builder, applied to have
Jane Hanah, friend of his wife,
interdicted from entering his house in
his absence. Jane defended the case,
stating that she had Mrs. Sharp's per-
mission to enter the house. This was
not denied by Mr.. Sharp, but he stood
on his rights that Mrs. Sharp could not
receive any visitor-not even near rel
ative-against his wishes. This conten-
ton, the sheriff says, is sound law, and
has granted the interdict asked. Lon

Ex-senator Bruce.

Ex-senator Bruce is by no means a
bad-looking man. He weighs, judge,
about two hundred pounds. He is six
feet tall and has a large, round. cop
per-colored face. His hair has Just a
slight curl to 1t and he keeps it well
brushed. His features are half Cau-
casian, half African. You could tell
anywhere that he had colored blood in
his veins. but you can see that he is
three-fourths white in appearance and
not far from altogether so in instincts.
He dresses well but not foppishly. His
wife is whittier great deal than he.
She would be taken for a Caucasian by
nine people out Of ten. She Is well
educated and was a sehool-teacher in
Cleveland when Bruce married her.
She is slender, well formed, and her
manners and bearing are refined. The
two live very nicely In Washington.
and their home this year Is within a

Life In Mineral Atoms.

A few weeks ago the results OF some
startling experiments by Mr.. Mason
Kinne, Of California, In which that
gentleman laid claim to having dis
covered sex In mineral atoms were
made puplic. From the following II
will be seen that Z. d. Walker, the
scientist and writer. anticipated the
Pacific slope philosopher by about two
years. Tbs extract given below Is
from an article by Mr. Walker written
in 1887:
We generally think of minerals a.
dead Jumps of inactive matter. But
they may truthfully be said to be alive,
creatures of vital pulsations and separ-
ated into individuals as distinct as the
pine In a forest or tigers In jungle.
The disposition Of crystals are as d.
verse as those OF animals. They grow
In size as long as they have opportuni-
ty. They can kill. too. though not as
easily as an oak or dog.
A strong electric current discharged
through crystal will disconipose it
very rapidly II 1t be Of soft structure.
causing the particles to gradually dis
integrate in the reverse order to its
growth, until the poor thing lies dead,
shapeless ruin.
II is true the crystals life IL unlike
that OF higher creatures. But the dif-
ference between vegetable and animal
life is no greater than that between
mineral and vegetable life.
Llnneus, the great Swedish atural-
ist, defined that three great kingdoms
by saying: Stones grow, plants grow
and feel, animals grow and feel and
move"
While Walker mentions nothing Of
sex in stones, It is plain that his ideas
respecting them were identical with
the wonderful truths Mr.. Kinne thinks
he has demonstrated In his microscope
cal researches.

AN ARTISTIC MANSION.
which May st Last he Of Some Use - ths
Public.

The following editorial from the San
Francisco Report is not without interest
to those who are familiar with the city
at the Golden Gate: The Flood man
sion stands on the summit of Mob Hill,
virtually deserted. The Flso family
does not intend to inhabit 1t again, and
it is very unlikely that any other
family Will ever desire it. Il Is very
fine mansion. But 1t is not the kind
of house that our millionaires like to
live In nowadays. 1t occupies q com.
manding position, but the glory OF Mob
Hill has departed. No one will ever
build or buy another "paaatial resi-
dence" on Mob Hill. The summit OF
Mob Hill IL not the aristocratic quarter
par excellence now, and viii steadily
be less aristocratic. The drift Ii west
ward. But the Flood mansion Is for
sale, and 1t will be sold finally for some
purpose or other. What will i1 ult!-
mate fate be, with its massive ws1ls, Its
$40. 600 bronze fence, its spacious and
gorgeouslv decorated apartmentsf
Qutsn sabs? What we would like TO
see it bought for and transformed into
is an art gallery and museum. II Is
already well fitted for the latter. for
the rooms are large and high and well
arranged. and the alterations to fit Il
for proper display Of pictures would
not be very extensive or costly. Of
course we would rather have the city's
museum and gallery out in the park.
But Mob Hill is our second choice. II
is very accessible by cable car now
from all parts of the city. and the
beautiful view the building commands
would be an additional attraction.
Now, which of our rich men will
come in and contribute the money
necessary to buy and fit up this man
sion and thus establish an institution
such as all great cities have and San
Francisco must have. not only az a
standing attraction, but as means OF
educating and refining Its people. No
few, but plenty Of contributions would
soon come In, once handsome and
safe place for their display had been
provided.
