TbeTrue Story of Furls) and IIUpd- Hepertel lue teminittee el nix Among the recent discoveries made by Dr. Scbhnmann on the site of ancient Troy ia one wb.ich.not only fully confirms the Homeric legend, but wrjicb, is in itself so extraordinary as to seem almost in credible. It is nothing less thmi the discovery among th so-callud "treas ures of Priam " of a series of papyri containing a lull account of the abduo t.on of Helen. The preservation of these papyri is to be accounted for by the fact that they were inclosed in a chest formed of thick slabs of asbestos, which resisted the fire which consumed Troy. They include copies of several of the leading Greek and Trojan journals of the day, thus refuting the popular theory that journalism was unknown to the ancients. I have been permitted, through the kind ness of Herr von Schweinhunn, late Ger man Consul at- Constantinople, to see the original documents all of which are written id Ureek and to make transla lations of the most interesting facts set forth by them. I am, therefore, in a po sition to give your readers the first trust worthy account of the great Trojan scandal which has appeared for 3000 years. The identity of the Homeric charac ters is fully confirmed, and the legend that Paris visited Menelaug at Messene is substantiated in all its main features. Paris was, however, not the mere hand some guardsman whom Homer de scribed, but a young Prince of g eat promise, who had already written a number of popular works, and who was engaged while at Messene on a "Life of Prometheus." r Menelaus does not seem to have sus pected any intimacy betweon the hand some Trojan and his wife until the lat ter in a moment of remorse, caused by overindulgence iu weak tea, made a confession to him. Ha therefore met Paris at the house of Ajax, who was the friend ut both,' and, after obtaining a confession from him, agreed to hush the matter np. Unfortunately, a retired priest of Del phos, with a strong desire for mischief, got wind of the matter doubtless through one of the Pythoneaes and be gan to abuse Menelaus ia the columns of the Me.iseneao News. About the same time Paris returned to Troy, tak ing Helen with kirn, and Menelaus, in his indignation, made the whole story public. ; The excitement created was enormous, and Pans, to save bis reputation, de manded an investigation, selecting six troopers of his own regiment as a com mittee. The investigation was conduc ted with the most perfect fairness, a company of archers being stationed out side the door of the committee-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 irud at him. Menelaus told a straightforward story, which, when published by the Trojan and Gre-cian papers, convinced nearly every intelligent perjon of truth, espe cially M it contained letters written by Paris, in which he expresed his guilty attachment, and remarked that "Mene laus had conducted himself most gene rally toward him," but that he should nevertheless be very nervous until be could carry Helen away to Troy with MEMPHIS, TENN.: bira.'" Paris, of course,' denied that he was guilty. Helen, he admitted, came to Tror with htm. but it was in order to read the proof sheets of bis' " Life of Prometheus." His expressions i nervousness in certain of his letters ware due to the fact that bis father, the venerable Prim, had freauently bee troubled with deafness, while he himself had for Tears believed that be was danger of receiving a blow on the bead from a cocoanut in case be should ever visit the South sea Islands. As to the rest of bis letters he could not at that distance of time remember what they meant, but rather fancied they alluded to an attack of measles, from which bis little boyhood had suliered. In clostn bis testimony be remarked that he con sidered Ajax a liar and a thief on gen eral principles, and informed him that whatever he might say, no intelligen trooner would believe htm. Now Ajax was as Homar represented him one of the bravest ot the brave, He was greatly incenBed against Paris, and proceeded to crush him by making a full statement ol the tacts in the case, He cubllsbed letters from Paris, from his sister Cassandra who knew him to be' guilty and from numerous other persons. The guilt of Paris was made as clear as noonday, and thereupon the troopers who were investigating the mat ter nastily Drougnt in a veraict to toe effect that, inasmuch as Menelaus and Ajix had Droved Parts guilty of shameful crime, he was unquestionably innocent. The report of the committee was fol lowed by a general publication of state ments on the part ot everybody. Ajax and Menelans each made aewstatements more terrible than their original ones, The Pythonems who bad been away on a voyage to Egypt returned and made a weekly statement tor three months with ont intermission. CaBsandra made ber statement claiming that Paris was inno cent because she had originally called him guilty. - Helen and her waiting maid both made statements, but they were so full of impossibilities, that they were hooted at. The niotbnr of Helen made her little statement, occupying forty eight closely-written columns of the Troy Whig, impartially calling every body concerned in the scandal horse- thievee and drunkards, and ending with a request that some one would appoint her brother Collector at Uorinth. r un ite opinion, which at first had been some- hat favorable ta raris, completely changed. There was a nniversal de mand that the man who had been the cause of so many statements should die The coalition ot tbe Greek chiefs was the result of this demand, and Homer tells us how tbe great vengeance o heaven fell upon Paris and involved his whole army of supporters in bis ruin. The original rjaDvri from which have taken these tacts are now on their way to Berlin, and in a few weeks will doubtless be published in full. m- e A family of Uirlsi wills st Passion lor tlie Trapeae, From the Port Huron (Mich.) Commercial. About eight years ago there lived in Port Huron a man who was well known to most all ot our citizens, lie was a painter and photographer by profession His children were three daughters, of more than ordinary personal attractions, whom he seemed to try to bring up as nearly as he knew bow in the way tbey should go. He was a strict member of the Methodist church, and endeavored to conduct the affairs of his family with all the stern rigor ot discipline provided for by the doctrine: ot that church Perhaps if be bad been less stern, tnings would have turned out happier, but who is there can judge unerringly of what would be proper management? After the departure of tbe family from this place but little was heard of tbem Bits of gossip came now and then, tell ng how the father had given up art and taken to the ministry, and how tbe daughters, in spite of their training, were not turning out very wen. Humors came that one of them had taken op the Drecarious calling of a performer on the trapeze, that she had been seen in vari ous places acting in that capacity, but after all there were few who read from time to time in the newspapers of the breakneck performances. of "Tbe San yeahs," who dreamed that one of them was a fort Huron girl, ana the aangnter of a Methodist preacher. Last week, however, the visit of th Washburn Variety troupe to this city confirmed the stories that had been heard. On tbe afternoon of the day on hicb that delectable organization bon ored our city, a young lady dressed rather showily. and with ' jewels flashing on every noger, walked into the editorial rooms of the Commercial and introduced herself as the youngest of tbe three children who had lei t here eight yeurs previously, bhe said her sister next older than herself was tbe Madame San yeah we had heard ot and that she was egally married to the man wnose name he bore. He bad Been attracted by ber pretty face and engaging ways and made her his wife. Then he bad taught ber to join with him in the perilous trapeze performance, and she had shared bis dangers until one day in one of tbe most thrilling feats ber nerves failed ber and he fe 1. Her arm was enatteted. and when she left the doctor's care hercareer gymnast was ended, for one arm was stiffened so that she might never nse it again. - Then the younger sister bad taken her place. She naively bore testimony to the peril of her calling. " It is all chance work in some of tbe performances," she said, "whether you catch th; bar or not. No practice can make one sure of not falling, for tbe length and poise of tbe swings are changed at every place, ac cording to tbe size of the room where the performance is to take place." She bad only four months' experience, she said, and bad had one fall, which had aid her op for many days, but sne liked the business after all, and so did ber sister until she was disabled." A Terrible Exprrlrnco. A correspondent of the Springfield Re publican says: "A lady ot delicate physique was complaining that for years she bad been unable to s!e-p without taking some narcotic. Those who beard the remark were at first tempted to con demn ber for having frittered away her strength in the pleasures of society, until her story, quietly and modestly told, showed that she had Seen through scenes of trial and suffering that might aflect the stoutest. The wife of a United States navaL officer, it was her fate a few years since to be on ber way to join her husband at some port on tbe Tacific coast of South America at the time of the great earthquake and tidal TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 29. 1874. waves that were so destructive to life and property on that coast. The ship had but just dropped anchor in a Peruvian barbor when the ' tidal wave came that wrenched her from her mooring and swept her over a cliff forty feet high into an inner barbor, while before tbe eyes ot our beroine.who was seated on tbe deck, the populous city fell down as if the block creation of a child. Fortu nately the ship, unlike its compeers in the harbor, which were many of them dashed to pieces, bad steam enough to get out to sea with t) e receding wave, though dry land seemed to pursue her for a space in the reflux. Proceeding down the coast that night, town after town was found to have been swallowed no by tbe earthquake. How for weeks this woman in a strange laud, where she did not soeak the language, sought her husband, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, and now he at a distant port longed and prayed tor and at last found her when she bad almost given him np; how they met soon to part, as he was again called away tor months here is a theme for a novelist. The ner vous strain on each has left ineffaceable marks on their lives. Is it any wonder that even in the toothing influence of this glorious sea air sleep comes but slowly to eyes that never close but see pictured anew tbe great rush inland of a mighty ocean and to hear the crashing of stone and timber and th shrieks of despairing humanity as great city is swallowed np in earth to the musio ot many waters f .
