Paris Aug. 24.-At the meeting Of the Academy
OF inscriptions and Bellies Lettres to-day the
American correspondent Of that section OF the
academy. the Duke of Loubat, announced a ssn-
sauonal discovery OF great archaeological value in
the Island Of Delos. made by Professor Maurice
1oileauN consisting Of six large archaic lions in
marble unlike anything hitherto found in Greece.
several houses in complete condition have been
unearthed. In one house was found an inscrip-
uon giving the precise dates of construction. the
Names etc, also a statue Of the muse Polymnia
analogous but finer than the celebrated statue Of
the same muse in the Berlin Museum, and which
IS replica Of the work executed by Philiskos
OF Rhodes. The drapery Of the newly discov-
cred statue is described by NJ EoIleaux as equal
10 anything known in Grecian sculpture Among
Inc other statues excavated is a magnificent
mead larger than the nature Of Dionysius found
IN temple recently explored. and it is regarded
OE Al. Holleaux who writes from DeIos under
GATE OF August II. as one of the finest existing
III greece N Holleaux also announces the dis
coNsry OF the statue Of a woman Of great beauty,
d great amount Of fine pottery and ceramics,
iorty gold coins, many gold jewels such as were
never before met with, including golden image
OF Harpocrates the gold Of silence mounted on
gold ring. The discovery Of these art treas
ures at Delos causes a great stir among the
french savans. and NJ. Loubat has received the
THANKS OF the Academy and Of the French Gov
eminent for his intelligent energy and his annual
subsidy of $4,000 which enabled the French
School Of Athens under the direction Of NJ HoI-
leaux during the past four years to continue the
work which already yielded such splendid re-
suits.
TEST CASE OF A PARSONAGE
A test case regarded of great Importance as
showing the practical working of the Church
oE
Cavalette. where the incumbent died whereupon
the Vicar Of Ratier, neghborng town, took
possession Of both parishes. but the vicar re-
NAMED in his own vicarage and leased the other
20 tenants, who transformed it into a public
house, selling wine and liquors and playing cards
there The indignant parishioners unable to OBJ
tain relief from the ecclesiastical authorities ap
pealed to the government. and NJ. BRAND. Min
lister Of Public Instruction and Worship, after
consulting with his colleagues. and after an ex-
change Of letters and kilograms with NJ. Clemen-
ceau. pointed out that under the Disesta blshment
act parsonag es will be for five years placed free
Of charge at the disposal Of the incumbents in
stalled by the legal associations Of public wor-
ship and residing in the parishes which they
administer NJ. BRAND further declares that
where there is no resident priest the parsonage
is ipso facto the property Of the parish, there
fore he advises the commune of La Valette to
institute legal proceedings for the recovery or It's
property in order to eject therefrom the occu-
pants who have turned it into wine shop.
Thus the only legal process by which shocked
parishioners can prevent the parsonage being
used as a dram shop is an appeal TO the pro-
visions OF the Separation law.
