LUCY'S PHYSIOLOGY;

Or. now a Llfo Was Savod and a
Home Roformeii.
IWrttten for This Paper.l
UCE, put down that
book and git to
work. You'ro too
lazy to live!"
At the sound of
her mothcr'-j quer
ulous roico Lucy
Kois threw down
her book and hur
ricd into the
kitchen.
?? -if r
"IdiJn't thick tho dL-hwater waa
hot." s-ho explained. "I forgot to put
It on till after dinner." . .
"Yes. that's always tho way. You
never think of nuthin whon your
nosa is stuck In a book. If I'd a
know'd what I do now. I'd never a
sent you to school a day." . ,
Lucy inado no reply to thia tirade;
hut her sensitive lip quivered and her
eye- li.lod with tears which shottrova
in vain to repress.
Scones like this wcro of daily occur
rence in tho Ko family; for thu
mother's natural irritability had bvea
Cri-atly increased by years of hurd
work ttr..i ill-health, and Lucy pro
vok.;d her leyond me.-vsuro by tha
frmA-iti li-tlessnors with which tho
eat al.ioi.t her household dv.ties. Tho
truth is t'..at Lu-y had K-como cn
ros4.'4l. h' art ar.d foul, in the pur
suit of knowledge it beir.;r tho fixed
purpo-o ci' her lifo to rise atjov.- th3
siHti .ii of a nitrrj toiling machine.
Mr-4. H. iss. itic.tpabi.5 of mental labor
hete'.. w.u equally incapable of forra
in uny conception of it. Drudgery
was her Li. al Work. Vhat woi.i'.er.
then, that ho mistook Lucy's preoc
cupation for iudo'.enco, and that iho
lost no opportunity ia rati:i- her
soi'U.Ly for it.
When this diahea had been washed
and put away Lucy returned to vhuru
sho hail left her book, but to her sur
prise it was jjone. iShe was not slow
t. conjecture what had happened. One
of tho children had hidden it to tease
her. IIard:y ti day passed that tho
vas not made tho victim of one or
tnorA of their pranks. Tim. tho oldest,
was four years her junior; au.l added
t this difference in ayo was a yet
(.'rra'.or d::Terenco in di-position. Lucy
had. cotisetjuently. retired rnoro and
mer't within herclf. and had frrad
tinlly como to regard her brothers and
piitrs as so many necessary evils.
They, on tnMr part, looked on her
quiet, studious manners as indications
of tluMnc-..-! and stupidity, and thought
it fino sport to anjer her, or "wako
her up." as they termed it.
On this occasion sho was too much
ccnci rtied for the fato of her missing'
book to fi-el angry.
"Mother." she called, as sho
searched aimlessly about the room,
make tho children give mo back my
physiology. They will get it soiled or
torn, arid then what will Kitty say?"
i!rs. Ross usual'.y eided with tho
ohildron airain-t Lucy In their diffl
ctilties, but tho knowledge, that tho
lxxk in qusticn was a gift from Kitty
Olwirt made her equally anxious for
its safe restoration. Accordingly, sho
Bitmmonod tho children, and tried first
to persundo and then to frighten tho
jrtiilty one into revealing its wheri?
aVouts. Hut all stoutly protested thnt
they knew nothing about it; and coax
ing, threats and flogging proved alike
unavailing.
I'm not going to Kitty's this oven
ii.g without it!" declared Lucy, tear
Mly. ... .
Kitty was herono friend and pympa
thizer. Hie only being in tho world
who truly understood and appreciated
her. A war:a intimacy had cxisted
between them ever since, as children,
they had played together at school.
But Lucy's school days ended as
soon 11s sho grow old enough to bo use
ful at home. Sho struggled bravely on
In her studies, however, finding a little
benefactress in Kitty, who supplied her
with Looks and assisted her in every
possible way. , .-j
Tho two friends met regularly threo
times a week to discuss Lucy's f?lf
assigned lessons, and the hours thus
spent were tho happiest cf Lucy's
lifo. . . . -.. ; .- ...
Tho poor girl was almost beside
herself over the disappearance of her
cherished physiology. It was pitiful
to sen her that afternoon, vainly pot-ring
nz.tin and again into every crack
an.i oornor of tho houso and yard,
where It seemed possible for a book to
bo c 'crett-vL -
When four o'clock came, which was
! tiuv anrointid for a meeting with
Kitty, sho Bought tho children at their
phty, aad, fith tears ia her eyes and
voice, pmraised to d any thing in her
power for tho one who would tell her
where her book was. .
Her entreaties elicited a derisive
laugh from Tim. ia which the others
joined, and with the words: "Crj--baby!
cry-baby!" ringing in Ler cars,
eho Listened away. "
P Reaching a secluded spot In the
orchard, she seated herself under a
tree and gave full vent to her feelings.
When sho returned to the house her
mother scolded her for not keeping her
appointment with Kitty.
" You know the children'U give back
yer book when they've had their fun
over it!" sho snapp-ad. "And you
could a told Kitty you mislaid it!"
f Before Lucy could reply, her little
sister came running in, calling ex
citedly to her to come and look in thj
rain barreL
"They' a book In thero!" said the
child. . "Mebbo It's your'n! I'd a'
brung it to you, but I couldn't reach
it."
Lucy hardly heard the last words
as sho ran to the rain barrel, closely
followed by her mother and sister.
And there, sure enough, was her much-sought-for
book, completely immersed
in water.
: "Jist lot me find out which 0:10 o'
tho young 'uns done that and I'll lar
rup it within an inch of its life!"
stormed Mrs. Ross, as 6hc surveyed
tho dripping volumo in Lucy's hands.
Tho unhappy girl said nothing, but
repaired with it, weeping, to tho
kitchen, where sho spcnt the next half
hour in thoroughly drying it over the
stove. But. alas! her beautiful, now
physiology was soiled and faded al
most beyond recognition; the print bo
Ing, in many places, blurred into
illfgibility.
' Whilo the family were at supper
thero was a knock at the door, and

Kitty Oiwiit n.utio her unexpected r.p
I;aranc3. "Here you are, you little truant!
I've come to look afteT you!" sho said,
playfjMy, as Lucy admitted her.
Mrs. Koss, anxious to explain mat
ters in her own way, interrupted the
words that trembled on her daughter's
lips.
"Lucy's nigh about crazy. Miss Kitty,
over what happerl this afternoon to
her physiology! I sent her to onkiver
tho rain-bar'l, an' instid o' layin' hor
book down as she'd ort ti sho took it
along; an", somehow, iu woikin
aroun' there, she dropped it in!"
Lucy gave a start of painful sur
prise at this direct falsehood from her
mothr. and her pale, expressive face
became pathetically agitated. The
children stared blankly from one to
another, but all remained silent.
"Of course it got Soakin' wet!"
went on tho conscienceless woman.
" Lucy dried it by the fire, but bhe
couldn't make it fit to lock at. Git It,
Lucy, and show it to her!"
Lucy did as she was bidden, lut sh
gavo her mother an appealing, re
proachful look that would havo melted
a heart less hard. . . '
Kitty saw the look and wondered
at it. - .
Don't feel badly about it. dear." sho
said, taking tho book. You couldn't
luMp it, and will havo a new one to
morrow." "Oh. don't get' another one!" plead
ed Lucy. "I never can take it."
Arid then, completely overcome by
a sense of the wronjf her mother had
dono and of its injustice to lu;rsolf. sho
abruptly left the room, sobbing con
vulsively. Kitty, not a li'.lle bewildered, was on
tho, point of following her. . ,. ...-.
"I'd rutiier you wouldn't say noth
in' more to her to-night!" interposed
Mrs. Ross. "She'll git over it quicker
by herself." . .
Very well. I will go home," raid
Kitty, as the moved toward the door.
"Don't bo mad!" whimpered Mrs.
Ross. 'You don't know Lucy like I
do. It always makes her cry worser
to talk to her. Como back agin to
morra! SbVli bo all right by then."
Kitty passod out. without deigning a
rpiy. . . . i- . .
Mrs. Ross had always boon proud of
Kitty's friendship for Lucy, and. al
though infinitely balow the Olwirts in
social standing, atta had often ob
truded herself as a visitor in their
homo on tha strength of her daugh
ter's preferment. .-
This evening sho had tried, as waa
her wont, to make tho beat possible
apiaranco before Kitty. But sho dis
covered, when too late, that sho had,
to use her own express ion, "overdone
tho thing."
"Ain't you a pretty thing!" she ex
claimed, going into the bed-room
where .Lucy sat, a picture of the deep
est dejection. "Kitty's gone home
ruad; an' it's your fault for learln' her
the way you did."
"I couldn't help it, mother!" Lucy
answered, sorrowfully. "I couldn't
stay and see her so deceived, end I
couldn't tell on my own mother."
"You'd better never toll, cithorf
was the threatening rejoinder. "I
didn't do no harm, anyhow. If Td
a-to!d her one o tho children sp'ilt
yer book she'd a blamed me fer not
learnin 'urn better. But when I told
her you dono it accidentally she
thought nothin uv it, an' I knowed
she wouldn't."
Lucy made no attempt to combat
this characteristic logic, realizing that
it would bo useless. And her mother
ended tho conversation by reminding
her that tho 6upper dishes v. ero yvt to
wash. . ' - "
Tim was unusually kind to Lucy
during tho remainder of the evening.
But she took Hula notice of him, and
retired with a very heavy heart.
Her elastic spirits could not long be
depressed, however, and the next
morning sho was again her bright,
happy self. It was in vain that she
tried to reflect sadly over tho occur
rences of tho previous day. Her mother
had not meant to do wrong, she
reasoned, and tho children were young
and thoughtless. Sho would go to
Kitty as soon as her morning's work
was dono, sho told herself, and apolo
gize for leaving her. -
When sho camo in from milking,
shortly after breakfast, 6ho found tho
household in great commotion. Tim
had cut his foot to tho bono while out
chopping wood.
"I never seen any thing blood liko it
does!" said Mrs. Ross, as tho blood
trickled through tho thick bandage
sho had applied. "I wish pap was
hycr to go fer the doctor. But ho
won't git back frum 'tendin' that trial
beforo to-morra, an' he's got both tho
horses."
I'll go, mother," announced Lucy,
promptly. "It' a only threo miles. I
can walk. But let mo see first if I
can't stop tha blood. I know a way."
"Well, bo quick!" replied tho anx
ious mother. .- y
Lucy then assisted her in placing
Tim on tho bod; and, while removing
the blood-soaked bandago, her mother,
under her dirccton, mado f. pad of
cloth.
This pad Lucy pressed firmly -on tho
wound, socuring it by means of a
tight bandage. Sho then elevated tho
foot upon pillows, and, without wait
ing to learn tho result, hurriedly
started on l.er errand.
"Lie still, just as you aro, till I fetch
tho doctor;" was her parting injunc
tion to Tim. -
And for onco ho willingly obeyed her,
though he found the hours of waiting
very long and tiresome.
To Lucy they seemed like bo many
ages, as sho sat anxious and exjiectant
in the doctor's little office. ..4
Ho had been called somo distanco
Into tho country, and it was after noon
when ho returned. Ho was tho only
physician the village afforded, so the
had no alternative but to await his
lelsurs.
We Lavo not a minute to lose," ho
said, when ho had heard Lucy's ac
count of the case. "If your brother
has cut an artery, as I fear ho has, I
may bo tox lato to render assistance."
This statement so alarmed Lucy
tliat she quite forgot tho attempt sho
had mado to stop tho bleeding, and
prepared for tho worst.
When they reached tho houso they
were surprised to find Tim laughing
heartily over a story which Kitty
Olwirt had just told for his amuse
ment, i
"You havo had a narrow escape, my
boy," observed tho doctor, when ho
had attended to the injury. ' v
Then turning to Mrs. Ross ho added:
V" "You displayed no littlo wisdom in
your method of dressing the cut."
"It wusn't her. Lucy dono it," put
in Tim.
"Whero did you learn so much, lit-
" WI1EHE DID "TOU LEAUX SO MITII,
.w ... . little rrss?"
tlo puss?" inquired tho doctor, looking
admiringly at Lucy.
'From my physiology," sho an
swered, modestly. "It says that is tho
way to do when an artery is cut, and
Tim's foot bled so I thought maybe he
had cut one."
"You thought right," responded tho
doctor. "He would have bled to death
beforo my arrival but for you. Tim.
you ought to think a great deal of that
physiology. It has been tho means of
saving your life."
Oh. dear! Oh. dear!" wailed Tim.
'I went an' put it in tho rain-bar'l
yiaterday an' ruinel it,"
Mrs. Ross hero flushed crimson and
dropped her eyes beforo Kitty's look
of astonishment and reproach.
"Luce, I'll never do nuthin' mean to
you agin, an I won't let none o' tho
rest run over you!" wont on tho re
morseful boy. I'll git you another
book with the money I made a pick in'
Denies, and do without skects this
winter."
"I've brought her a new physiolo
gy!" said Kitty, producing tho book
and handing it to Lucy.
The girl received it Tin silence, but
her eyes were eloquent with gratitude.
"Oh, Miss Kitty, I wanted to get it
myself!" exclaimed Tim, disappoint
edly. WoU, Tim. If it will make you fool
better you may pay for it," Kitty re
turned, kindly.
Tim brightened at this, and nothing
would do but his mother must then and
thero bring forth his little savings,
from which ho triumphantly extractod
the price of tho book and avo it to
Kitty.
The lesson which Tim thus learned
bids fair to have a lasting effisct not
only on his lifo but on the lives of tho
entire family. The loving respecrt that
he has ever since shown to Lucy soon
reflected itself in tho conduct of the
younger children, and ho now leads
them in good and generous acts as in
tho old careless days ho led them in
mischievous and often cruel ones.
1 his happy chango brought Lucy
out of herself and caused her to take
a new and active interest in her home
and its duties. :--ri -
Her mother no longer questions" tho
value of education. There is never so
much to do now but that Lucy can be
spared when there is school to go to.

SLEEPING-CAR TALK.
The Laborious Routine Cone Through
with After Every Trip.
" Every car, as soon as it is emptied
of its passengers at a terminal point
is. as wo term it, 'tripped' in the
yard," says a railroad man. "The
carpets aro taken up, carried out.
beaten and aired. Tho seats and the
backs are taken out, and thoroughly
cleaned in liko manner. The mat
tresses, blankets and berth curtains
are also whipped, aired, and, if the
weather permits, sunned. Tho spring
beds are freed frora tho 'bod dust'
that gathers from fraying cf textile
fragments, by brushing and wiping in
all parts. All utensils aro carried
out, soused in scalding lyo and
scrubbed. Tho pillows aro beaten and
sunned liko the mattresses. The
floors and oil-cloths in the saloons aro
scrubbed, and all the wood-work,
having been scoured thoroughly clean
with soap, brushes, hot water and
drying cloths, is gone over with fur
nituro polish. - -.
"About once a week tho veneering
of,, painted canvas, constituting the
ceiling, is carefully scoured, to cleanse
from accumulations of smoke and
clinging dust. Tho windows aro
cleansed and rubbed bright. All
bntss and silver mountings aro
jioliahed. Dust and stains aro care
fully washed from tho outside of the
car as from inside. I'o do tho work
we keep one hundred cleaner, steadily
at work here in New York, and num
bers at other points in proportion to
tho work required. . -
" Whilo all this has been going on,
every shred or textile fabrics that
should be washed sheets, pillow
cases, towels, napkins and cushion
covers has been sont to tho laun
dry nrd replaced by a clean stock of
articles. Each car has two complete
outfits of theso things, which are
used alternately, ono being laundried.
aired and packed while tho other is on
the road. -""Vv-
"Then, when the process is com
plete, the car has to bo rut rimmed, by
tho relaying of carpets and oil cloths;
putting in place of the springs, mat
tresses, 6eats and backs; stowing away
of pillows, linen and curtains, and.
last of all, tho thorough washing out
of the water-tanks, and refilling them
with fresh water and ice. Tho last
thing is never done until the Cnal mo
ment when tho car is about to be drawn
from tho 3'ard to tako its place in tho
outgoing train.
hila all this has been going on
the railroad people, who aro respon
sible for tho care of tho running gear
of tho car, inspect tho trucks, test tho
brakes, sound every wheel, scothat tho
boxes aro tightly packed, and, as iar
as foresight can go, mako sure acci
dents can be averted.
"That is the regular routino scru
pulously followed every day upon ev
ery car that comes in. No housewife,
even in Holland, ever dreamed of such
a thorough house-cleaning process as
this is. In addition thereto, the
blankots aro eteam-scoured twice a
year, which is at least doublo the at
tention they get in most hotels. Tho
berth curtains are truated so once a

RIDING. FOR DEAR LIFE
An Adventure In tho Early Days
of California.
A Thrilling Experience .John Neumann'
Harrow Escape from lieln; Lynched
by Vigilantes How Illi Iunocenro
Was Established.
In tho primitive days of California
juries and courts of justice fell into dis
repute among tho people for the lax
methods employ od in tho administra
tion of justice upon captured criminals
and outlaws. At tho tirao of tho or
ganization of tho vigilantes affairs had
reached a crisis, and young und old,
including many of tho best citizens of
San Francisco, leagued themselves to
gether and formed what is oven now
remembered in the Golden .State as
tho strongest and mtt powerful or
ganization of tho kind ever known.
It soon grew to enormous proportions,
and iiJ labors extended over a great
portion of the State outshle the city.
Tho 1110-4. binding oaths of secrecy were
exacted and they wore always religi
ously kept. At first there wcro those
who wanted to suppress tho order,
but these soon learned for their own
health's sake to hold their peace,
and. finally, the vigilantes became so
bold that prisoners were carried with
out molestation from jails, crowded
court-houses and other places.
It was early in ISoS, in tho palmi
est days of tho vigilantes' sway, that
John Neumann, now a gray-hairod
veteran of about seventy, had the ad
venture that ho loves so well now to
talk about- There had been a series
of stage robberies all u round San
l-Vancisco. s;:id tho favorite prey of
tho robbers teemed to bo tho Sacra
mento overland. This stage had been
stopped no less than x times in as
many weeks by three robbers, and all
efforts to capture them had met with
signal failure. Vigilantes, armed to
the teeth, accompanied the s'ae on
each trip, but every time they were
compelled either to hold up their
hands or to f ght while under cover of
the highwaymen's weapons. On tho
fifth day after tho last robbery had
occurred, it became known that a
large quantity of gold-dust was to
leave Sacramento for San Francisco,
and a double guard was placed on tho
coach. - - r- -
On tho morning following the day
on which tho coach left, at just 'tbout
daybreak, threo men with masks
drawn over their faces and mounted
upon handsome and well-trained ani
mals, appeared directly in front ot the
coach, and the cry of "Halt!" .reetod
the ears of the Lalf-slumbering
guards. Tho driver, seeing three
rifles aimed directly at him, pulled
tho horses back, ai:d tho coach, was
brought to a stop. Ono of tho ge.ards
raised a rifle to his shoulder, but, be
fore he could pull the trigger, ho fell
back with a ballet through his heart.
Then a terrific fusillade of firing be
gan, which lasted for several mo
ments. The gua-ds won the day; one
of the robbers was killed, and tho
ether two were beaten off. The driver
of tho couch 4id one of tho j-unrds
wero killed, ttnd another guard was
badly wounded.
One of the vigilantes jumped to the
ground, tore the mask from the rol
bor's face, and to his great astonish
ment recognized him as a prominent
nnd rospeeted citizen of San Francisco.
This explained in great part why it
hud been impossible to locate the
robber, for the robberies had doubt
loss all been committed by persons of
this character. One of the other rob
bers rodj a whito horse, the third rodo
a sorrel. Both wore wiuo-brimmed
slouch hats and biack clothes. A p.is-i-cnger
volunteered to drive tho coach,
and thi hornos spod to tho nearest
sU'.;;.j -station, about four miles uis
tsir.;, where relays of hor.-;es wore kept.
Two of tho guards mounted fresh
ur.imnls and started off as rapidly as
:Hi-,:ble fo- San Francisco.
About two Lours later they reached
tho city and reported tho case at
he.i'i-p-iartorr- Fifty mounted vigi
lantes Were dispatched iu ail direc
tions i:i r.eaily as many minutes with
orders to bring back tho robbers dead
or alive. Tho news of tho attempted
robbery and tho fight spread liko wild
firo throughout the city. Somo ono
said that John Neumaiin, wearing a
dark suit of clothes and a slouch hat,
had left tho city on tho morning of tho
preceding day mounted on a whito
horse, and that he had returned only
about an hour previously. Tho state
ment was verified by several persons,
and the vigilantes determined to insti
tute a chase for him.
Neumann had stood on the edge of
tho crowd which gathered to talk about
the crime and heard his namo men
tioned as being connected with it IIo
had been absent from home at tho
time of tho affair and had returned
that morning. It was a remarkable
coincidence, and he was in a bad predicament-
He knew that in a court of
justico he would b-o able lo establish
his innocence, but thero was little hope
of doing so beforo a tribunal of the
vigilantes. He had no time to spare,
and in another moment ho was running
at full speed iri tho direction of hi-,
home. IIo entwed hastily, fetrapped
his pistol case a'-ourd him, slung a
rLTo ever his shoulder and rushed to
the stable, whero he threw the saddle
on the back of his favorite horse, a
largo and powerful bay animal, and
started oir for tho hills beyoud the
city.
Ho had escaped nor.o too soon, for
hardly had tho sound of his horse's
hoofs died away in tho distance when
six mounted men drew rein in front of
the house, half of thorn alighted, and,
entering unceremoniously, made a
hasty but thorough search. Tho stnblo
was visited. It hold but one horse
and Neumann v.-as known to have two.
Nothing now remained but to catch
him and bring him back; so away
dashed the six horsemen toward the
hills beyond the city.
Tho pursued man had tho advantago
of nearly li a! f rn hour's start rnd n
superior animal; tho pursuers had
tho advantage of superior r.uinbi rs,
such power as wa3 vested in them by
their own organization, find the
knowledge that thero was prneticaily
but one exit from the city foi- a
mounted fugitive.
At noon on the following day Neu
mann was traveling along a rude
roadway ouTm open plain. Proacntly
hc heard tho sound of horse.' hoofs,
and turning in his saddle, saw two
mounted men at a considerable dis
tance behind, riding rapidly toward
him. He started his horso off at a
gallop, and then a desperate race Ixy
gan. His animal was in fair form
despite his rido of the preceding day,
and he was thus able to keep well
ahead of his pursuers, though he
seemed unable to gain on tliom.
For more than an hour the raeo
continued and thj huutod maji was un
able to distance his pursuers. Tho
vigilantes had changed their animals
since starting, and slowly but surely
they kept gaining on Neumann,
lie was almost on tho crest of a
i.iound in tho road when u rifle ball
v. hiz' d past him. IIo drew iin.
turned around, and fired at one of the
vigilante's horses. Tho ball struck
tho animal, which fell, carrying his
rider with Lim. Then Neumann
started o:T iighin.
The other vigilamo raised his we;.p
ou and fired a shot, but it luissod. It
was evident, thai he could uot hit his
murk while his horse was traveling at
such u speed, l-o, reining in his mu
ni al. he took aim and fired just as Neu
mann v. as disappearing ocr tho crest
of a mound. His faithful animal stum
bled; then with a cry of-pain sank lo
tho oarth. Neumann jumped to his
feet and, running back to where he
could g't n g ')d aim at his 1 emaining
mounted pursuer, he tired again, and
onco more horso and rider rolled in the
dust.
It was now useless to attempt to es
cape. There were but two things fer
Neumann to do either 1 ) l;hl his pur
suers or to give himself up. He did
not care to shed human blcod if ho
could avoid it, and the fact that his
pursuers had thus far spared his life
led to the hope that, after all, the vig
ilantes had bomo doubt of his guilt.
Ho lay upon the ground and waited
until the foremost man had ap
proached to within about two hundred
yards' distance, when he suddenly
arose and. with folded itrros, stood
looking calmly at his pursuer. (2llck
ly raising the rifle to his shoulder, tha
vigilante took deliberate aim at Neu
mann, then held tile weapon there as
if hesitating.
Neumann did not move. The vigi-hu-.te
ordered him to surrender, m-.d
the other replied that he would u so
only on fine condition. A:jain tbe
demand for nn unconditionn I surren
der v;:s m-td find refused. Tho third
time t'u condition was named and
granted. ' It-was that n. fair trial be
given Neumann lxfori a tribunal of the
vigilantes.
Tin; man advanced, anil when with
in a few feet of him recognized an old
friend whom ho had not seen for
years. The men were delighted to
soo each other, and Netimair.i told tho
story of his disr.pp'ei rar.ee on that fa
tal day, und tho other promised to aid
him.
Atthetimo tho trio entered the "ity,.
two days later, two human form were
dangling from a limb of a tree a few
milos away. They wero tho two rob
bers. They had been captured, had
confessed the crime at the last mo
ment, and had pleaded in vain for
mercy. Neumann, however, had to bo
tried, and he established his innocence
beyond question. Tho vigilantes made
every reparation in thir power for the
wrong dono him, and ia less than a
week Neumann was sworn in as a mem
ber of tho order.
Architecture of the Ancients.
Dr. Dorpfchl, principal of tho Gor
man Areh.-r-olcgieal Institution at
Athens, recently delivered an im
portant address on the results of re
cent excavations in Greece as Injuring
0:1 tho history of ancient art. He said
t'm.t a spec lid study of the discoveries
at Mj come, I'i ry 11s and Orchometios
revealed an unmistakable resemblance
between thorn and ancient Asiatic
architecture. He held that tho a:ici;it
Greeks i.o-rowe.I their different styles
from Egypt, and from several cf the
ancient poo;Ies of Asia. Tho builders
of tho Mycenian period were, he le
lieved, Phivnieians. Tho remains of
