AN ANCIENT E
Discovery of a unken Ship of the Tim
of Henry the Eighth.

Discovery of u Sunsen Ship of the Time
of Henry the Eighth.
A most interesting discovery has, ac-
cording to the Interior, been made at
the old Cinquc Port Of Sandwich. The
Stour, n river which has, perhaps, more
frequently changed its course than n
other English river, has lately entered
an old channel near its confluence with
Pegwell bay, laying bare a wreck which
has probably occupied its present posi-
ton for several centuries. The vessel
is one of foreign build, and the wood is
in a fair state of preservation, owing to
the fact that it has for many years been
entirely embodied in the sand. On in
spection it would appear that, from
time TO time, various attempts had been
made to cut down the wreck, but the
hull of the vessel is as yet pretty nearly
intact. 1t is q matter Of local history
that q little over three hundred years
ago, in the reign of Henry VIII, an
Italian vessel, belonging TO one of the
popes, sank ut the entrance of the then
flourishing port of Sandwich. The sand
silted round it, forming II great bank,
and blocking up the entrance to the
haven, and it is recorded that, from this
date, the prosperity of Sandwich as a
seaport greatly declined. 1t is believed,
with some show Of reason, that the
ancient wreck now discovered is identic-
al with the papal Carlyle, or Carricli,
which sank at this spot in the reign of
Henry VIII.

Where They Keep to tho Left Instead OF
tie Right.
England is the only place / know of
where they drive to the left. English
drivers say that by sitting on the right
and driving to the left they can better
watch the hubs of approaching vehicles,
and thus prevent collisions. don't ex-
actly understand this, says u writer in
the Home Journal but it is the explain
alton they give for driving to the left.
Quick-going vehicles will turn a cor
ner sharply, but the driver raises his
whip to notify the vehicle in his imme-
date rear that he is about to turn.
"Cabbies" are more considerate con-
corning fellow-drivers than they are
thoughtful about the lives and limbs of
pedestrians. All their attention is given
to the roadway; pedestrians must look
out for themselves or be run over. That
is why so many Of the London police
are engaged solely in attending to
street traffic. Yet, with all their vigil
lance, more accidents occur in London,
proportionately, than elsewhere. Lon
don drivers arc polite and very civil to
each other. If an obstruction appears
in front of a horse, or If for any reason
he is obliged to suddenly slow up, the
driver will Immediately notify the
driver in the real by holding out hori-
zontally his left arm, and this sign is
passed down from n driver to another
until the very end of the line of blocked
vehicles is reached.

A suBTGRRANEAN CITY.


Remarkable Discovery Lately Made In q
District of Russia.
In the right bank Of the river Amoo-
Daria, near the town of Karki. in Bo-
khara, grottos have been found among
the hills leading to a subterranean city,
the evidence Of which dates back into
antiquity. Silver coins and inscrip-
tions of the time Of Gapora /. (the
first Persian king Of the Gassanidean
dynasty, who lived about 200 years B.
o. were found in the place. The sub
terranean town, says the Chicago Jour
nal, stretches over a distance of more
than three versts (about Il half mile)
with streets, lanes, squares and hang
ing fountains. In some places the
ground on the top has caved in, but the
largest part OF the city can be passed
through without the least difficulty.
BY the light Of the miners lamp, the
place presents n quaint, fantastic ap-
pearance. There are houses in perfect
construction, n or two stories high,
with a pretense of architectural ele-
gancc, and filed with furniture and
various domestic utensils. Tho ceiling
or upper covering of the streets is con-
structed of blockso of alabaster GRANTEES.
The natives of Bokhara knew of the
place long ago and carried away many
silver and gold coins, ornaments and
utensils of great intrinsic value and Of
still greater archaeological Importance.
The Russian authorities of Bokhara
have made arrangements to take care
OF the antiquities Of the place, and sent
notice Of its discovery to the Archao-
logical society at Moecow. The society
has sent a commission Of experts to
make explorations during the summer.

Devoured n Fruit Cake.
The WASHINGTON correspondent Of the
ST. Louis Republic is responsible for
this story, which he credits TO Col. John
u. Cary, OF Richmond, aud says it was
told in the ooins of the southern society
at New York recently:
Now, you must understand" Col.
Cary began, what 'craclllings' are to
appreciate this story. 'Cracklings' are
small brown particles of pork left over
from that eFrt of the hog used in max
ing lard. IN the south 'cracklings' are
mixed with meal in making cornbread,
and the mixture very closely resembles
raisin bread Now, to get down to my
story. 1t was just after the fall of
Richmond, and | was making my way
home as best ! could, when suddenly |
ran right up against Col. Colquitt, Of
Georgia. Now, l knew Col. Colquitt
pretty well, and, as he looked half
starved, / invited him TO share the hos
pitality of my home for a few days.
We reached home Mt dinner time. I
had not enhome before for two years,
and, Of course, the fatted calf was
killed. For dinner we had salt pork
and potatoesin profusion, and Colquitt
said never a word lie had tasted for

FINALLY my mother brought up some
pound cake and a fruit cake which l
knew she had been saving for eighteen
months. When she passed the fruit
cake to ColqStt he stood not upon GER
emony, but helped himself. He ate n
slice, two, three. four, five, six, and
mother fairy wcpt when lie made a
motion to take the seventh. She
c~ourteously arose at this point and said;
Colonel, perhaps you would prefer
some pound cake Colquitt looked at
the rich pound cake a moment, andthen
replied in his most gallant manner: No,
thankee, madam; | have lived on corn
bread, and little of that, so long that
''crackling' bread is rs much of a luxu-
ry as / care fol- Colquitt had actually
eaten half Of that fruit cake under the
impression that it was Cracking bread.
He was too hungry to notice the diff

by, where he is still remembered as the
hero OF a funny schoolboy blunder.
"What is the meaning of the word
'adage?'" was the question which was
being asked by tao master. Various
shots were made OF the usual wild de-
scriptioa, when it came to young
Barttelot' who, without hesitation, re-
piled: "a place to put cats into"
Everyone laughed, and the master,
who was us much mystiied as the rest,
called him up at the end Of the lesson
and asked HIM what had put such an
idea into his head. "Wel, sir" said

The Remarkable Adventure OF q Woman
In Central Africa.
One Of the most remarkable incidents
of Mrs French Sheldon's Journey to
Kilimafjaro was, a London correspond
cnt learns from a letter received from
her, the circumnavigatiou of Lake
Chala, the small sheet Of water which
fills the crater of a volcano a short dis
lance to the east of the base of Kima-
wenzi. The beautiful lake was the first
discovered by one Of the earliest mis-
sionary explorers of this region (Ncwl
who descended TO the edge of the water
"a feat that Thompson some years
afterwards seems TO have thought inn
possible.
The natives have, however, always
held that there was a way down the al
most perpendicular sides of the crater,
and only three or four years ago another
missionary explorer succeeded in max
ing the descent. Mrs. Sheldon was not,
however, content merely TO touch the
waters of this mysterious lake. A party
of Russian sportsmen had left behind
them at K~ilimaninro q sort of pontoon
boat in sections, which had eventually
come into the possession OF Mr.. Keith
Anstruther, a young ~seotchman, who
was at Taveta when Mrs Sheldon ar
rived there.
Mr.. Anstruthr1 suggested the daring
project Of launching this boat on the
waters of Lake Chala, and Mrs. Sheldon
at once offered to join him in the at
tempt. There difficulty in obtain
ing porters, for local Superstition is busy
with the crater lake, which was once
the story runs--the site Of great Nasal
village that was utterly destroyed when
the eruption took place, which resulted
in the formation Of the present lake.
This difficulty was, however, at length
overcome, and after great danger and
fatigue the edge Of the lake was reached
and the boat was found TO be but slight
ly injured by its rough journey.

THE czAR's sLeuTH HOUND.


- "hO Oas
Nlhilist Plots.
Michael LEM was, q few years ago,
one of the most famous of the Russian
political detectives. He was, says the
Albany Press, a merchant in Moscow in
1877, and was engaged as a special con
stable when the Emperor Alexander
visited that city to witness the opening
Of the Alexander hospital. LEM heard,
OF claimedt to have heard, a conversation
between two women indicating the ex-
istence of a plot against the car. He
hurried with his information to the pre-
feet of police, and the two women were
tracked and taken into custody.
One Of them proved to be a valuable
prisoner, although there was nothing Of
a dangerous character found in their
possession when arrested. LEM was fire.
quently called upon for service in trac-
ing alleged conspiracies, and did his
work 30 satisfactorily that he was en-
gagged as a regular employe, and grad
ually promoted to be chief Of the detec-
tives of the secret police.
To LEM was due the detection of So
phia Grunsburg, the young woman put
to death a few nllhths ago for being en-
gagged in a nihifst plot. He is said to
have no scruplS6Sin bis methods, and in
n ease, thvt~5} Maria Spiranti, he
courted the woman a full year as u
lover, and at length pretended to go
through the marriage ceremony in order
to win her confidence.
He got her confidence and also a batch
Of nihilist revelations that undoubtedly
placed in the hands Of the Russian po-
lice the key TO the whole system Of
nihilism in Russia and abroad as It ex-
listed two years ago.
