Old Roman Gold,

From the London Daily News: The
excavations on the site OF the ancient
Forum at Rome still continue to be
successfully prosecuted. For instance.
two OF the workmen engaged In the
search for antiquities laid open a sewer
dating from the time Of Nero. and sud-
denly became aware of the presence OF
a glittering substance. They proceeded
to the discovery Of a quantity OF gold
coins embedded in the sediment of the
sewer. They filled a hat with these
coins, which. when washed. enumer-
ated and classified. proved to be gold
pieces of the fourth and fifth centuries
that had evidently been thrown where
they were found for concealment at
the time of an incursion of the barbar-
ians, their owners having had no op-
portunity OF recovering them. They
are all beautifully preserved, and many
OF them were evidently fresh from the
mint They are 379 in number and be-
long to seven different reigns.

In the go-down are stored the family

SOME UNEXPECTED PRESENTS.
Peculiar Transposition OF Words Fro
qusntiy Found In Modern Writings.


II 1t happens that some public char
acter becomes the object of a set of
resolutions, the cane or other testf-
monial, the printed account of the finc-
tion presents some singular features.
Owing to a certain carelessness in the
handling OF the English language
elastic as that medium of speech is
the writer makes himself say exactly
the opposite that he intends to say. A
well-educated man and regular
writer for publication will make this
glaring error In the majority OF his
productions. For instance, the nation
that is. a small portion-made up
pocketbook to buy Admiral Dewey
home. In every published account of
that function, headlines and all-none
is barred that has come under the eyes
OF the writer-the text ran after this
manner: Admiral Dewey Given a
House" The elislon of the preposi-
tion to-" in the eyes OF the writer of
that line, seems to have atoned for the
blunder. The effect is that Admiral
Dewey was presented TO a house, in
stead OF the house having been pre-
sented to the admiral. Instances with
out number are printed wherein promi-
nent educators. lawmakers and others
are formally picked up-in language. II
not In physique-and presented to
walking sticks under the designation OF
canes. In ninety out OF hundred
cases of this kind the recipient is made
the subject instead OF the object Of the
sentence. This is inconvenient for the
men who are bestowing attentions on
a corpuient person.

she really did not understand. The
spoiled. ldolized daughter OF the rich
planter could not believe that anything
could be more valued than herself
She had had before her eyes the dan
gerous example Of passion which set
aside duty and honor to gain her hand
Only an hour before she had heard the
confession from Edwards lips. From
William she always heard OF honor and
duty; and the old suspicion that there
was a lack Of love stirred in her heart
And yet. her whole soul drew her to
the man who seemed SO hard and un-
yieldIng-she would not lose him.
