The best news in regard to Alaska,
says the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat, is
that. an exploration of the territory is
to be made by three expeditions under
the control of the United States geolog-
ical survey. This is far more to the
purpose than the scramble after gold.
The region west OF the Hlonclille, the
Tanaua river basin and the interior,
reached by way of Cooks inlet, will
be examined, and army surveys also
will be carried forward. The scien-
tific discoveries made and officially con-
! frmed will divert much of the travel to
the Klondike to our own soil. AS mat
ter of fact, we know little definitely
about the resources of Alaska. The la
bors of the geological survey will be of
great value to the people.

A BURIED CITY.
Rich Archaeological Discovery Made In
Asia Minor.

Perhaps another Pompeii, at
all events a buried city oSgreat
archaeological interest has been
found in Asia Minor. Professor
Benjamin Ide Wheeler. of Cor
nell University. makes public
the news of this discovery on site
of the ancient Priene, opposite
the island ofSamos. In 1895 the
work of exploring the ruins of
the city was taken up by Ger
mans under the direction of the
Berlin Museum and at the ex-
pense of the Prussian Govern
ment.
A buried city, preserved al
most in the completeness of
Pompeii. is coming to light ; a
city, to be sure, of the Hellenis-
tic period, laid out with great
regularity, with streets crossing
at right angles, with shops, colon
nades, market places, theaters. a
council house and great num-
Der of private houses preserved
IN such completeness as to dis
play their general architecture,
distribution of space, use, decora
ton and equipment.
South of the great square of
the temple, and closely adioin-
ing it. has been found the great
market place or agora OF the city
which was surrounded on all
four sides by broad colonnades,
of which that on the north side
was peculiarly noble. and open
ing upon one corner of the agora
was found a small square build
ing constructed somewhat like a
theater. which was evidently the
council house of the city. 1t is
marvellously well preserved.
Sixteen rows of seats are still in
place. The walls, doors, win
dows, platforms, &C.. are all pre-
served. One of tho side walls
euds in massive arch, which, as
being demonstrably a work Of
the fourth century, B. c., must
rank as the earliest, or at least
one of the few earliest specimens
of the arch in Greek construc-
ton.

ppn't Carr Tales.

Tale bearers almost always
deal in superlatives, writes DIR.
Talmage. If a man shows a lit
tie impatience, they say he was
LIVED with rage, If he were seen
drinking soda. they call him a be-
sotted inebriate. They put the
blow-pipe of their exaggeration
into the slightest inconsistency,
and blow till their cheeks are
distended, and the bubble swells.
and the story lis rounded into a
great orb in which swim all the
rainbows of conceit, and you can
see almost anything you want to
see. They are hounds, good for
nothing but a chase. When you
hear evil of any one, suspend
judgment. Do not decide till
you have heard the mans de-
fence. Do not run out TO meet
every heated whelp of malice
that runs with its mead down and
it's tongue out. The probability
is that it is mad, and will only
bite those who attempt to enter
tain it.
Be leuient with the fallen. You
see a brother fall, and say, 81
never could have done that !.
Perhaps you could not, because
your temptation does not happen
to be in that direction but you
have done things in the course
of your life that these fallen men
would never have done, because
their temptation was not in that
direction.
Do oot say IN boasting, Il never
could have done such a thing as
that! !" You do not know
what you would do if sufficiently
tempted. You have an infinite
soul-force. If grace directs it
a force for the right; if evil in
fuences seize upon it, a terrific
force for the wrong. There are
passions within your soul that
have never been unclaimed. Look
out if once they slip their cables.
In our criticism of others let us
remember that we have faults
which our friends have to excuse.
How much would be left OF US il
all those who see inconsistencies
in US should clip away from oul
character and reputation ?

Wheeler's cavalry, after vigorously resist

dispatched by Bragg tor the rear Of our army;
capturing Layerghe, Dec. 30, taking 700
prisoners, and destroying heavy army trains

to capture or destroy; returning during the
