Recently Dlucovored Medallions.
Lovers of literature will be interested
in the recent discovery in a small house
of the buried city of Pompeii of two me
dallions representing respectively Hor
ace and Virgil. The death of Horace
occurred eight years before the Chris
tian era and that of Virgil ten years
earlier, while the date of the destruc
tion of Pompeii by the eruption of Vesu
vius is A. D. 79.
Hence the portraits are not contem
porary, though they cannot he placed
very long after the age of the poets.
But although they are in that respect
only fancy portraits. M. Gaston Bois
sier has pointed out to the French Acad
emie des Inscriptions that they have a
distinct resemblance to the miniatures
of Horace and Virgil given in the manu
scripts of the Twelfth and Thirteenth
centuries.
The Pompeiian medallions are only of
a very mediocre character when regard
ed solely from an artistic standpoint.
This very fact strengthens the idea of a
continuous artistic tradition as to the
bodily presentment of the two poets.
The Pompeiian artist and the monastic
scribe could have had no direct connec
tion, but they may easily have derived
their figures from a common source.
Another point of interest is to see the
popular criticism within less than a
century after their death, linking to
gether Horace und Virgil. How endur
ing their fame is may be realized if we
remember that now. after the lapse of
nineteen centuries, they have more
readers and admirers than at any pre
ceding period. It is to be feared that
few of the literary reputations of modern
ages will withstand so successfully "the
cankered tooth of time."—Manchester
Guardian.
To Revolutionize Trotting.
A well known Santa Rosa horseman
has'a scheme for trotting horses which
promises to beat the "scoot" track all to
pieces as an important factor in aiding
a horse to obtain a fast record. He is
planning a sulky that will not only run
itself, but will push the horse along a
bit too. He says it is to be built on the
plan of the watch. It will have big coil
springs to drive the wheels and he con
tends that it will revolutionize trotting.
Right under the driver's seat the springs
will be located, and it is his intention to
have things so nicely adjusted that
when he wishes to go a 2:10 gait all he
will have to do is to set it at the 2:10
figure and it will do the rest. When
wound up the sulky will run one mile
and a half. A very clever feature of
the sulky is the self winding apparatus.
By simply touching a little spring near
his stirrup the driver can make the
wheels wind up the spring, and, by a
hand device, he can throw them ont
of gear when the indicator tells him
that the spring has been wound up to
the proper tension. Thus in scoring
whatever power is lost can be regained.
And it is so arranged that the power can
be turned on at will by the driver. The
gentleman claims everything for this in
vention. He says it will transform the
slowest scrub into a world beater and
make a three minute horse able to go a
2:08'4 record. The inventor apparently
had nothing green in his eyes when he
was talking about his wonderful sulky,
but time and developments will tell
whether he has been indulging in too
many air castles or not.—Santa Rosa Re
publican.
Steaks of Buffalo Meat.
It is not often than Kansas Cityans
have an opportunity to get a succulent
buffalo steak, but they have it now. An
East Twelfth street butcher has just re
ceived the carcass of au overwild buf
falo from British Columbia, and yes
terday the butcher's knife touched it for
the first time. The meat will be re
tailed at thirty cents a pound. Ten or
fifteen years ago buffalo meat was plen
tiful here, and at the beginning of each
winter hundreds of Kansas City fami
lies stowed away a hind quarter in the
cellar.
That was before the animals began to
be thinned out on the plains between
eastern Kansas and the Rocky moun
tains. The few that escaped the slaugh
ter of the hunter and the plainsman
went north into the British territory,
and even there it is a rare thing for one
of them to be killed. The East Twelfth
street butcher's buffalo was a very large
specimen and was covered with a coat
of long and unusually fine hair.—Kansas
City Times.
The Must Familiar Mineral.
If one were to ask his friends what
mineral we are most familiar with and
most commonly used as food the an
swers would probably be both varied
and amusing. Salt would, I fancy, first
suggest itself to many, and to those
whose training in physiology and hy
giene has not been neglected no doubt
the claims of lime and iron and carbon,
which in one form or another we use
with food to build up bone and brawn,
would be amply urged. But, after all!
it is water, for water is a mineral—a
fused mineral. You will find it de
scribed as such, along with quartz and
topaz and the diamond, in Dana's "Min
eralogy" or in other treatises on stones.—
T. Mitchell Prudden in Harper's.
A Lucky Find.
A man was fishing in the Surrey canal
recently, when he pnlled up on his hook
a lady's sealskin handbag, which was
found to contain thirty-nine gold wed
ding rings and keeper rings and twentv
three pounds in gold and silver. The
bag had apparently been underwater
for a very considerable time.—Loudon

Dear sir : I intended upon the ad
journment of the late session of congress
to express in some public manner
through the press, my sense of obliga
tion to the gentlemen from Park and
adjacent counties, who came to Wash
ington to render such service as they
could in passing a bill which should en
able the citizens of Cooke City to ob
tain railroad communication These
gentlemen each and all acted with a de
gree of prudence, moderation and zeal
which materially assisted the represen
tatives from Montana in that very im
portant piece of legislation known as the
segregation bill.
Without invidious discrimination, I
mention Alvin P. Vinnedge, Esq, for
while the other gentlemen were only
there for a limited time, Vinnedge re
mained in Washington from February
to September, during all that time, by
every process which an intelligent judg
ment could suggest, he did everything
to forward the object 111 view in a man
ner that commended him to everybody
there with whom he came in contact,
and was very efficient in diminishing the
hostility to the bill which has passt d
the senate and has been favorably re
ported from the committee on public
lands in the house. I would not change
a word of anything he said if I could,
and his services were invaluable in this
matter. I11 expressing my own opinion
of Mr. Vinnedge and his services in this
matter, 1 express the opinion also of my
colleague in the senate, and I doubt not
of Mr. Dixon in the house of representa
tives.
The citizens of Park countv owe to
Mr. V innedge and to other gentlemen
who went to Washington obligations
which they can repay partially by join
ing me in the very high esteem in which
I hold them. Very truly yours,
W. F. Sanijeks.

Whk Killed by h Hear.
Picket : Further particulars of the
death of Phil. Vetter, whp was found
dead in his cabin in Gray Bull, ns pub
lished in the the Picket last week, indi
cate that he was killed by a bear. Bear
tracks were found in and around the
cabin, we are informed, and there were
evidences of a struggle. It is thought
that Vetter was attacked while lying in
his bunk asleep. The report of the cor
oner has not yet been received, which
will undoubtedly throw some light on
the mystery.
Since the above wns in type the eor
onor's jury has returned a verdict that
the deceased came to his death from
wounds inflicted by a bear. From a note
fourni it seems that he had an encounter
with the animal near the cabin, which
he succeeded in reaching and bled to
death. He was a native of Virginia and
had been a resident of Wyoming about
ten years.
Charged with Trrumm.
The issue of warrants against the
Homestead strike leaders on the charge
of treason at the instance of Chief Jus
tice Paxson has caused a decided sensa
tion, not only among the strikers, but
also t among sympathizers in Pittsburg
and at Homestead. This is the flrBt
time the charge of treason has been
brought in any state for acts arising from
a strike or labor trouble. The strikers
are ready to laugh at any charge of riot
or murder brought against them by the
Carnegie company, but when the great
state of Pennsylvania takes the matter
up it is an entirely different thing. The
information was lodged after a long con
sultation between all the members of
the supreme court and the district at
torney. A novel point in the case is
that the chief justice will hear applica
tions for bail before the cases go to the
grand jury, and will call that body be
fore him and deliver a special charge on
treason. Should true bills be found, an
unprecedented thing will occur. The
chief justice, as an ex-officio judge of the
court of over and terminer, will sit and
try the case.
Attorneys for the strikers declare the
proceeding is a persecution of the de
fendants and assert the charge of tren
son cannot lie made to hold.

The Cure For
Scrotula was once supposed to be the
touch of royalty. To-day, many grateful
people know that the "sovereign remedy" Is
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. This powerful altera
tive extirpates "the evil" by thoroughly
eliminating all the strumous poison from the
blood. Consumption, catarrh, and various
other physical as well as mental maladies,
have their origin in
SCROFULA
When hereditary, this disease manifests It
self In childhood hy glandular swellings,
running sores, swollen joints, and general
feebleness of body. Administer Ayer's Sarsa
parilla on appearance of the first symptoms.
"My little girl was troubled with a painful
scrofulous swelling under one of her arms.
The physician being unable to effect a cure,
I gave her oue bottle of
Ayer's
Sarsaparilla, and the swelling disappeared."
— W. F. Kennedy, McFarland's, Va.
"I was cured of scrofula hy the use of Ayer's
Sarsaparilla."— J. C. terry, Deerfield, Mo.
" I was troubled with a sore hand for over
two years. Itcing assured the case was
scrofula, I took six bottles of Ayer's
Sarsaparilla
and was cured."—II. Hink ins, Riverton, Neb.
