Once over the bridge spannirtf tho

splashing in the deep pools and hun
dreds of "dhobies" are pounding and
scrubbing the linens of the Hyderabadee

crowded streets! There are long rows of
low, whitewashed buildings, with fa

the merchants squat among piles of
cotton goods, silks, carpets, brass-ware,

SEPULCHRAL RELIEFS.
Ancient Works of Art Recently Brought
to Light at Athens.
The unique series of ancient sepul
chral reliefs which have been brought
to light by excavations in the Cerame
icus, the public cemetery of ancient
Athens, have two interests, at any rate,
which it would be hard to exaggerate.
For one thing, many of them are extra
ordinarily beautiful for another, they
illustrate as nothing else does eeitain
aspects of Athenian life and civilization
at a period when Athens was still one
of the great powers of Greece. Natur.
ally, these reliefs are exceedingly vari.
ous, both in date and workmanship and
character. Some of them are archaic
and stiff and formal. Others, again,
easily distinguishable, are simply bits
of bad work. But a large number are
full of the most exquisite beauty and
pathos, and it is chiefly of these that
we wish to speak. In a great number
of cases the aitist has chosen for repre
sentation on these monuments the last
farewells between the dying person
and the survivors. Evidently this was
form of sepulchral
it admits of thethat
far more delicate
pathos than any
other form. Thero are reliefs repre
senting the last farewells between hus
band and wifer between father and son,
between mother and daughter, between
friends. Sometimes the representation
is allegorical. A lady takes her last
look at her casket of jewels, which
stand allegorically for the pleasant
world to which she is saying farewell,
and the. relief is saved from all charge
of triviality b} the exquisite sadness of
the lady's face. Of course it must not
be supposed that all the best reliefs
represent these farewells. One of the
most famous, erected to Dexileos, rep
resents him as a victorious warrior in
battle, slaying his foe. Still, what we
have said is a true geuoial description.
Now, in oider properly to appreciate
the spirit of these grave monuments,
we must remember that to the Greek
death was necessarily far more terrible
than it is to us. In the nature of
things, he could have no "sure hope of a
glorious resurrection." Whatever may
have been the exact conception of death
current among the average Athenians
of, say, the fourth century B. wepalace
know that they considered it "the su
preme evil." Very few people indeed
could have been convinced by Sociates'
famous argument to his friends after
his trial that it must, after all, be reck
oned to be a good thing. To the ancient
Greeks it was not only a dreadful myg.
tery it was the final parting ftom all
that they heh dear, from their families,
from their friends, from life itself. It
still had all its bitterness. Nothing
could have been keenei than th$ grief
which it excited.Spectator.

A Dining Car Line to the Pacific Ocean.
The Northern Pacific Railroad, the only
one of the transcontinental lines "running
dining cars through to the Pacific coast, an
nounced a new me schedule taking effect
Nov 20,1887. The principle features of this
new schedule are:
First Twelve hdurs quicker time from St
Paul toHelena and Butte. Montana, and
twenty four hours shorter time to Portland,
Ore, Tacoma, W. and all North Pac fie
coast points, by the limited express leaving
St Paul at 4 M. daily. The time of No. 2,
the corresponding train east bound, will be
shortened seventeen hours.
Second. An additional through express
train, to which will be attached Pullman
sleepers, dining cars and emigrant sleepers,
leaving St Paul at 8 A. M. daily, for Helena,
Butte, Missoula, Spokane Falls nnd Eastern
Washington points this train making the
through time five hours quicker than the
former Pacific coast expre&s, giving the in
tended Pacific coast settler fourteen hours
quicker time than heretofore
Third. Three express trams daily from St.
Paul and Minneapolis toMoorhead, Minn.,
Fargo and Jamestown, D. T., with through
Pullman sleepers to Grand Forks, Fergus
Falls, Wahpeton and principal points in
North'Dakota,
The Northern Pacific not only offers to
the traveling public the best train service,
including its famous dining cars, Pullman
drawing room and sleeping cars,
emigrant sleepersand splendid day coaches,
but from Chicago and all Eastern cities to
Portland, Ore, as quick time as by any
other route, while to Butte and Helena,
Mont., it is the shortest line by one hundred
and seventy-six and three hundred and
sixty-six miles respectively, actually saving
the traveler to Butte six hours, and to
Helena, eighteen hours, as against any
Other line.
The great reduction in time will be of
particular interest to all classes of travel,
especially Yellowstone Park and Pacific
coast excursionists contemplating a return
trip by the all rail linedie "Mi Shasta"
routebetween San Francisco and Port
land, and a trip along the Columbiariver or

Downington Archive: A beautiful
little girl was noticed about the rail
road station in this borough the other
day who was full of life and anima
tion and vhose efforts seemed to be
mischievously directed in hiding from
her father, who in reply to a question
said the little girl had been his travel
ing companion ever since she was
nine months old and had never been
sick, although constantly exposed to
the many changes incident to a life
on the rail. He said he lived at Fort
Wayne, Indiana, and his business was
that of a car-tracer. He traveled in
every direction in search of lost cars
and was liable to be ordered off at
a moment's notice. After a search of
many days ho had just found one of
the Fort Wayne cars on a siding near
the Chester Valley Station. The little
girl was only three years and eight
months old. Her mother was power
less to control the child, and as soon as
she heard her father had been ordered
off she picked up her little satchel to be
ready for the journey. They were
privileged to board any train, whether
limited,accommodation,local or freight,
and if they could not find quarters in
the cabin of the latter they rode on the
engine, where she slept as nicely as on
