A Chameleon Hen.
Wm. Hrancli, a Pittsfield man, who
lUiin a Richmond farm,has a hen which
deserves at least, a transient newspaper
notice. Regularly hatched about live
years ago of Black Spanish fore-parents
she grew to fair, proportions, and,
for the first two years, her plumage
showed that in respect to color, she
was a pure blooded fowl, whatever
might he thought of the Spanish in her
Blie was iu fuct, ns black us the ten
spot of spades, which of course, is ten,
times us black us the ace, hut, soon af
ter hor second hatch-day whether from
friglit-or other cause is unknown, a
white feather appeared on her crown.
Nor was it long before another was
seen, and from that time the white
feathers gradually increased in num
ber until, at the end of the fourth year
in tho life of, this eccentric hen, she
was perfectly white from hill to spur.
But tho end is not yet. After remain
ing white a short time, she commenced
returning to her normal condition. For
file past half year or so, her plumage,
has been slowly turning black ; and how
she is in that speckled condition w'liicli
has given the neighbors ocç.fsion to say
that she has ou lier calico dress. Air.

Tlie marriage had been arranged, but

TlfK (tltEAT TROJAN BCANDAL
OF THE COMMITTEE OF SIX.
■ EFFORT
f Constantinople, Sept, 1.—Anion#
the recent discoveries made by Dr.
Hchlicmann oil the site of ancient Troy
is one which not only fully confirms
the Homeric legend, but which is in it
self so extraordinary as to seem almost
incredible. It is nothing leas than the
discovery among the so-called "trea
sures of Priam," of a series of papyri,,
containing the ftfil account of the ab
duction ot ilelan. The preservation of,
these papyri is to be accounted for by
the fart that they were inclosed in a
chest formed of thick slabs of asbestos
wliieli resisted the fire which consumed
Troy. ' They include copies of several
of the leading Greek and Trojan jour
nals of the'day,thus refuting tho popu
lar theory that journalism was unknown
to the ancients. I have been permitted
through the kindness of Herr von
Sehweinhund, late German Consul at
Constantinople, to see the original do
cument-all of which were written in
Greek—and to make translations of the
most interesting facts set forth by
them. I am therefore, in »position to
give your readers the first trustworthy
account of the great Trojan scandal
which has appeared for 3000 years.
Tlie identity of the Homeric charac
ter is fully confirmed, and the legend
that Paris visited Menelaus^at Messe ue
is substantiated in all its main features
Paris was, however not the mere hand
some guardsman whom Homer has de
scribed, but a young Prince of great
promise, who had already written a
number of popular works, and wfio was
ongaged, while at Messcne, on a "Life
of Pfoiriethem." "
Meneluus does nit seem to have sus
pected an Intimacy between the band
some Trojan and his wife, until tho
latter in a moment of remorse, caused
by over indulgence in weak tea, made
a confession to him. He therefore nut
Paris at the house of Ajax—who was
thofriend of both—and, after obtaining
a confession from him, agreed to hush
the matter up.
Unfortunately, a retired priest of
Delplios, with a strong desire for mis
chief, got wind of the matter—doubt
less through one of the Pythoncscs—
and began to abuse Mcnelaua in the
columns of the MesseneanNcws. About
the same time Paris returned to Troy,
taking Helen with him, and Menelaus,
in his indignation, made the whole
story public..
Tlip'ï&citcpvent create«^ wasr'rfrpr
mous, and Paris, to save his rOpntuti'ôïï
demanded an investigation, selecting
six troopers of ids own regiment as a
committee. The investigation was
conducted with the most perfect fair
ness—a company of archers being sta
tioned outside the door of the commit
tee room, with orders to shoot every
witness who did not testify in Paris'
favor. They failed however to Hit
Menelaus, and were obliged to content
themselves with instigating the camp
followers to throw mud at him.

Menelaus told a straightforward story,
which, when published by the Trojan ami
Grecian papers, convinced nearly, every
intelligent person of,its truth, especially
as it contained letters w ritten by Paris,
in which ho expressed his guilty attach
ment, and remarked that "Menelaus had
conducted himself most generously to
wards him," but,that he should never
theless be very nervous until ho could
carry IJeleu a,way to Troy with him.—
Paris, of,course, denied that lie wa,i guil
ty. Helen, he admitted, came to, Troy
with him, but it was in order to read the
jroof-sheets of his "Life of Prometheus."
tiis expressions as to nervousness in cer
tain of his letters wero due to the f
that his father, the venerable Prian. had
frequently been troubled with deafness,
whilo he himself had for years believed
that he was in danger of receiving a blow
on the head from a coconut in ease he
should ever visit the South Sea Islands.
As to.tho rest of his letters, he could not
at that distance of time remember what
they mount, but rather fancied they al
luded toan attack of measles, from which
his little boyhood had suffered. In «'los
ing his testimony he remarked, that he
considered Ajax a liar and a thief on gen
eral principles, and informed him that,
whatever tie might say, no intelligent
troqfier Would believe him.
Now Ajax was—as Homer ropv
him—one of tlm bravest of the brave.—
IIo was greatly incensed against Paris,
and proceeded to crush him, by making
a full statement of the facts in tho ease.
He published letters from Paris, from
his sister Cassandra,—'who knew him to
be guilty—and from numerous other per
sons. The guilt of Paris was made as
clear as noonday, and thereupon the
troopei'3 Who Wère invest igation the ^Mat
ter. hastily brought in a verdict to the
effect that, inasmuch as Menelaus and
Ajax had prov«xl Paris guilty of a shame
ful crime, he was unquestionably inno

ffil Pjflipmyt tly comnuttee was fol
lowed W ^ general publication of state
ments on the part of everybody. Ajax
and Menelaus each made new statements
more terrible than tneir original one*.—
Tho Pythonese8 who had been awaÿ'ôYt a
age to Egypt, returned and made a
jfly statement for the month« with
out intermission. Cassandra made her
statement claiming that i'ari t was innoj.
cent because she had originally called
him guilty. Hclell and her waiting mai«i,
both made statements, but tiiey wore so
full of impossibilities that they wero
hooted at. The mother of Helen made
her little statement, occupying forty
eight closely printed {columns of the Troy
NY^iff*. impartially cal ling everybody c«
ce^ned in the scandal horse-thieves and
drunkards, and ending w ith ft r«*qnest
that some ono would appoint her broth
Collector at Corinth. Public opinion,
which at first had been somewhat favor
able to Paris, completely changed. There
was a universal aemaud that
who had been the cause of so many state
ments should die. The coalition of the
Greek chiefs w'.as tbc result of this de
mand, and Homer tells us how the great
vengence of Heaven fell upon Paris and
involved his whole army of supporters in
his ruin.
The original papers from which l have
taken these facts are now on tbeir way
to Berlin, and in a few weeks will doubt
lesa be published in full.—Cor. Graphic.

LETTEfiS FROM THE PEOPLE,
Jump and hofland—Their
Know-Nothing Career.
For the Gazette. :
Then and Now.
Twenty years ago this fall, Dr. Jump
and James it. Lolland,, the candidates
now before (lie people of Delaware for
tlie respective olllces of Governor und
Representative iu Congress, on the
Republican ticket, were ardently en
gaged in the "Know-Nothing" move
ment, canvassing their.respective dis
tricts and beating the bushes that eve
ry vote might be brought out in the
interest of that diabolical tirade against
our fellow-citizens of foreign birth,
for which fhc Doctor was rewarded by
n seat in the State Sdnate and Mr. Lot
land made Secretary of State.
Now, these same gentlemen arc can
vassing the Stale upon the Brandywine
and elsewhere, seeking the votes of
these same foreign born cltizehs, and
with tlie assurance -such as few men
possess tell them they are their friends.
Can it be that men Will so soon forget
sucii damnable wrongs inflicted upon
them and kiss tlie rod that once smote
them V
Will they reward tile men with their
best gift who thus would ostraoizo
them because qf their birth and rolig-,
ion y 1 think not, • •
A few days more, and if I mistake
not the temper uf tlie people, these
inch who would sc£ up an inferior race
to pull down the superior, aye, to pull
down their own race, will meet there
just reward in an overwhelming defend
in Delaware as they are defeated in i^h
the States that have spoken thus fur
during tuis year of jubilee.
The white men of tlie land arc arors
ing themselves as never before, »alive
and foreign born citizens of the Cau
sion race will no longer submit to
negro domination, nor will they tolcr
atc'prpscription on account of Nation
al ty or Religion. Then, in 1854 the
unhallowed crusade was' a' success. -'
Now, in 1874 it must be an ingloviona
defeat. The people, the white people,
the patriotic people, all over tlie coun
try say so it; must bo so. A Democra
tic State Government aud ere long a
Démocratie Federal Government and
then the millenium of honesty and
good feeling w ill prevail. Then will ■
all white men who are not sold to the
negroes rejoice. Then.will, the white
omen and children of our now stricken
land feel that they are free from insult
and danger, ...

For the Guette.
Mr. Editor:—T he Democratic meet
ing held at Lewes, on Monday evening,
tlie 2dtli inst., was the largest political
meeting ever held in thin town* there
being at least WMi persons in attendance.
More than 100 ladies wero present* to
hear Mr. Bayard, àU of whom were truly
delighted. After filling up every availa
ble space in the capacious dining room of
House, ami -the crowd still
pouring in, it was deemed necessary to
erect a stand outside, where several ex
e«dlcnt speeches were made to an atten
tive audience. Mr. Cochran, our candi
date for Governor, was present, and had
a cordial shake hands with the live
Democrats of thirfplftttt. Who greeted him
a« the next Governor of Delaware. Thè
great enthusiasm manifested at this
•etingwill be carried to tho polls on
Tueulny next, and a glorious victory will
be the result. The vile abominations ot
tho "Civil Rights Bill" has done the
work, ami you may expect at least 000
majority from Ohl Sussex for those noble
and patriotic men, Cochran and Wil
