TURKEY’S ANTIQUITIES.
OTTOMAN JEALOUSY OF THE
SAVANTS OF EUROPE.
How tbe Wall of Constantinople was
Saved from Annihilation— Severe Stric
tures of the Present Law Against Ex
ploration—Value of Oriental Hums of
from a Llterarj and Scientific Stand
point.
Beyrout, SyrU, Feb. 6. Never were
pearls more effectually cast before swine
than at present in the Turkish empire.
The priceless Treasure Trove of antiquity
which lie buried beneath the soil of all
Western Asia cost the Ottomans so many
hours of jealous watching that it is
probable they would willingly demolish
every vestige of former times, if such a
procedure would relieve them of the cu
rious inquiries of the savants ot Europe
and America. It was only a few years ago
that the Multan proposed to give the
old citv wall at Constantinople to one
of his favorites who was going to use
it as a quarry. The prompt interposi
tion of European representatives saved
this line old historic ruin of the East from
the vandalism of a mercenary court. Tur
key herself cares nothing for these monu
ments ot antiquity, and it is a matter of
exasperation to her that foreigners should
intrude. She has or late years grown
more suspicious and exclusive. She
seems inoapable ot understanding the mo
tives that lead to archaeological research.
Whenever a party of enthusiastic explo
rers appears at her doors she at once
gives them thecreditof intending to carry
on political intrigue under tbe thin dis
guise ot digging up some negleoted mound
or of surveying some sacred territory.
The law is for the preseut strictly ex
clusive. A special firman must be ob
tained for even an exploring party. A
careful system of espoiuage is seen every
where in full torce. A native is cast into
prison on the mere suspicion of knowing
tbe whereabouts of secret treasure. The
assumption of the government is that
everything under the soil belongs to the
treasury of the Porte. The splendid
“finds” of Schliemaun at Truas aud of
I.ayard and others at Nineveh and
Ephesus and Cyprus did not fail
to arouse the zeal of students of
history the world over. But that ardor
was doomed to be dampened by the fol
lowing exclusive order of things, which
renders such explorations in Western
Asia an impossibility for tbe present. As
the political ascendency of Islam begins
to wane the Moslem world seems to be
trying to withdraw iteei f from public
gaze, and resents the attempts of the
Western world to pry into the secrets of
her historic soil.
There is possibly in this matter at least
one case for congratulation, and that is
that there is no archwological work car
ried on at present by unscientific explor
ers on auy largo scale. The whole field
of research is being preserved for the
good time coming, when explorations can
be carried on with more system than can
be expected under any present conditions.
The devastating work of the Turkish offici
als is essentially finished. The fine old
ruins that once skirted the Mediterranean
shore were stripped some time ago, aud
tnere need be no further anxiety. But
vast numbers of most interesting ruins
both above and beneath the 8011, are scat
tered all over tbe inland regions and are
still awaiting, undisturbed, the investi
gations of the archaeologist. Should the
Turkish government to-day throw open
its doors to every enthusiast who might
oome. and allow and encourage uni
versal and indiscriminate excava
tion, the cause of historical re
search, though doubtless receiving an im
mediate and powerful impetus, would
probably suffer in the long run. It is well
to be patient and make tbe most tor tbe
present ot what does come to Jutht in the
inevitable course of events. When the
great work is undertaken it should be
carried on systematically and under ex
perienced bands.
To any one who has paid any attention
to archaeology or to ancient history, even
though his attention has been confined to
Biblical history, there is no need ot em
phasizing the value to the human race of
such studies, and the consequent explora
tions. Tnere is a peculiar tascination to
such a person in the gradual development
of iniormation concerning the races of the
ancient civilization. The excavations at
Troas brought to Greek scholarship anew
impetus and made vivid the pages of
Homer. The discovery of the Assyrian
library in tbe mounds - t ancient Nineveh
gave to the world of Semitic scholarship
anew language; and a thousand mis
taken notions concerning the early ages
of the world have already been corrected,
and that too in the very infancy oi As
syriology. The work of manv eminent
travelers has lighted np the laud of Pales
tine with anew interest to every reader
of the sacred story. The labors of
Robinson, Thompson, and of the
leaders of the American and Eng
lish Palestine Exploration Society
have helped to bring the most Import
ant book in the world into the clear light
of facts. We may hope that many of its
mysteries may be cleared up aud that a
multitude ol mistaken notions may be
corrected. But in Egypt more than in
any other land have the recent explora
tions brought us into close communion
with antiquity. Tbe domestic life or the
Pharaohs and even the humblest Egyp
tian peasant is made evident, aud we *re
now beginning to understand the relations
ancient Egypt held to the political, tbe so
cial andtheeducatlonalafl'airsol hertime.
But, however, much has been exhumed
from the soilof the Turkish empire,noone
who pretends to know anything about the
lubject would dare to affirm that we have
yet gathered a tithe of tbs rich harvest
that awaits us. It would be hazardous
to attempt to put an estimate upon tbe
value to tbe human race of the treasures
still lying buried ill Western Asia. Asia
Minor over its whole extent is still com
paratively untouched by tbe pick and
spade. A few square acres upturn
ed at Troas and Ephesus have
shown us the wealth of the treas
ure. Tbe Mesopotamian valley, per
haps tbe earliest home of tbe human race,
and which contains the records that go
back to tbe very roots of human history,
has buried beneath its soil that which is
of more value to tbe world tbsn all the
gold ands Iver mines put together. A
few mounds pierced near Mosul have dls
covered to the world the literature of a
mighty race of conquerors aud Assyrian
history had to be rewritten. A lew glean
ings ironi the surface in the regions of
the upper Euphrates have startled the
students of history bv the apparition ot
the almost unknown race of tbe ancient
fllttite*. Syria and Palestine and Egypt
have given us equally interesting mate
rial and promise much more. We know
enough to know that the remains ol an
tiquity still preserved from the vandalism
of the ages and mat await the scrutiny ot
man, are sufficiently abundant to cast
an invaluable light upon the most sacred
and profound problems ol bumsn history.
The East has been tbe magnet o source
of religion to the whole civilized world.
It sowed tbe seeds of civilization long be
fore Greece and Rome were eveu names;
it set in motion tbe philosophies of tbe
word, and anything that can throw light
upon Ita faraway deeds and aspiration*
will be a gain to the present and all future
general ioi *.
In speaking of the exclusive order of
things under Turkish rule I have been
careful to except Egypt, which is In a
sense Independent ot the Porte. Under
tbs efficient management ol Messrs.
Naville and Petrie tbe Egyptian explo
ration fund has within a brief period
resulted in the discovery of tbs ancient
Zoan and the careful survey of the
land or Goshen. English suit Ameri
can scholars bays entered hoaitliy into
the work, and are anxiously awaiting the
settlement of important questions con
cerning the lsraelitish sojourn in Egypt.
Ttils work deserves the sy rnpathy and oo
operat ou ol every student of the Bible
aud of ancient history. While this aoor
is open the project should be pushed for
ward as rapidly and thoroughly as possi
ble.
The surface of Western Palestine and
the Sinaitic peninsula has. during the last
haifeenqury received caretul attention.
The work ot the English Exploration So
ciety has finished what can be done in
that line for the country west of the .lor.
dau. The American Exploration Society
did good work east of the Jordan, hut
came toon untimely end The English
sooiety attempted work in Moab, but was
stopped by the government. Much as we
know about this interesting territory,there
remains yet much to be done. The groat
American. Dr. Robinson, still remains
tbe foremost name in this department. It
is a matter of chagrin to many American
scholars that the English society should
be left to do this whole work alone. The
Wolfe exploring expedition to Babylonia
under the management of Dr. William H.
Ward, of New York city, which was car
ried out so successfully last year, shows
“that the Americans have not lost inter
est in Bible lands or forgotten how to ex
plore.”
Beyrout, as the educational centre of
tbe Arab-speaking world, is beginning to
offer attractions to American studeuts.
For several years the Syrian Protestant
College has opened its doors to young men
who wished to study oriental history and
the Arabic language. At present a fellow
from Harvard college and a recent gradu
ate from the Union Theological seminary
of New York city are making Bbyroui
tbeir headquarters. This is a beginning,
and it is probable that many more will
follow. ,
The great trouble is that when astudent
goes to the Orient he leaves all books be
hind him. Be can do little more than
make a plunge into the East, gather a few
facts, and then return to digest them in
the libraries of Europe and America.
Why could not Americans equip a thor
ough going library and museum at Bey
rout or at some similar centre, and give
encouragement to students to prosecute
original studies in the East? It a Greek
school at Athens has attractions for a lim
ited number of students of Greek history,
how much more attractive could a simi
lar institution at Beyrout be made to the
much more numerous students of tbe
Orient and the Bible? The authorities
of the Syrian Protestant college would
gladly furnish land for such a project
and even assist in carrving out the work.
A proper building could be erected for
$lO (100. The expenses of travel could
be lessened by at least 40 per cent, by a
a system of co-operation. Money invested
in such an institution could not be wholly
wasted, lor in case of failure the college
would be the natural heir.

A SENATORIAL ESCAPADE.
Samples of tbe Mistakes Made in tbe
Psiyglot Circles of Washington.
From the New York World.,
Washington, March s.— Washington
society has had a small sensation this
week to talk over. It has had the run of
the clubs, and has been a light and breezy
topio at a number of receptions, it re
lates to tbe peculiar escapade ol a certain
rich and popular Senator. He was at
a reception in the northwestern part
of the town not long ago, and
escorted there a married lady
who is well and favorably known
in the social circles ot a large Eastern
town. The reception was crowded and
the refreshments furnished were of the
most liberal description. When the Sena
tor left be bad with him tbe lady whom be
had brought. The Senator’s carriage had
been ordered, but be was apparently con
fused, either from excess of refreshments
or from the mental fatigue which comes to
every public man who is too devoted to
statesmanship. The carriage just ahead
of his was that of a well-known Foreign
Minister. The wile of the Minister was
already In tbe carriage. She was waiting
for her husband.
The Senator, in tbe confusion about
him, thought that his companion bad en
tered his carriage and that the Minister’s
carnage was his own. He stepped brisk
ly in, took bis seat beside tbe wife of the
Foreign Minister, and was driven off in
spite of the calls oi his companion, who
vainly tried to notify him of the error he
had made. As the carriage drove off the
lady was beard to exclaim: “You have
oarriea off my night-key with you.” The
wife of the Minister speaks no English.
The carriage containing the Senator and
the wife ot the Minister had not gone
more than hail a block before violent and
prolonged screams were heard coming
from tbe interior of the carnage.
They were followed by the two doors of
the carriage opening, the wife of tbe Min
isterguing outon one side, aud the Senator
coming out on bis hands aud knees on the
other. A friend of the Senator rushed up
to him and helped to brush him up. Tbe
lady was helped back into her carriage,
and matters were then straightened out.
The Senator a moment later deparied in
bis own oariiage.
Tbe story has been circulated so freely
that tbe wire of the Senator has beard of
it. She has pluokily gotten up a version
of tbe story which differs a little from Unit
Just given, She says that she was nie
lady who, was out with her husband, and
she was the-one who was lelt behind
when the Senator made bis strange mis
take. She tdid the story at a recent din
ner party, convulsing her auditors with
the skill with which she related it.
RELATIONS SEVERED.
The Action of the Prince of Wales Ex
plained bv Masonic Official*.
From the New York Herald.
Chicago, March s.— The cablegrams
from London on Tuesday night contained
a paragraph stating that tne Prince of
Wales, as Grand Master ol the British
Freemason*, has withdrawn the patent of
appointment from the representative of
tbe Grand Lodge ot Englaud at tbe Grand
Lodge of Illinois because of the latter
having severed fraternal relations with
tre English Grand Lodge at Montraal. Tbe
Grand Treasurer of the Illinois Lodge
explains tbe relation* existing between
tb tee lodges or Cunadaand all other grand
lodges, it is merely a question of ter
ritorial aovareignty so far as Masonia
authority was concerned, and it was at
the request of the Grand Lodge of Quebec
that the other graud lodges severed fra
ternal relations with three lodges which
fiersisted in holding allegiance to tbe for
eign Gi and Lodge of England, instead of
submitting to tbe Grand Lodge of Quebec.
Gi-neral Wiley M. Eagan said yesterday
that tbe action of the Prince of Wales
carri dno lorce. It merelv expressed the
real feeling of tbe English lodge in the
matter. General John M. Palmer, of
Springfield, was tbe representative of tbe
Grand Lodge of England in Illinois, anti
bis pat. nt of appointment waa nothing
more than an act of courtesy. He did not
know whether tbe action would lead to
any more significant severance ot frater
nal tiea.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, MARCH 9, 1886.
OSWEGATCHIK’S TOAD-HUNTER.
How Gen. Newton Martin Curtis Res
cued His Onion Patch from Grnbs.
From the New York World.
Albany, March I.—They tell a good
story of the dainty reformer, Newton
Martin Curtis, up in St. Lawrence county,
where he has always lived. Curtis made
an excellent record as a soldier during
the war, and a* everybody who knows
him knows, had an eye shot out at Fort
Fisher, wnere he was the first man into
the Confederate works. After the war he
returned to the wild fastnesses of St. Law
renoe county and started on anew career
which paralyzed his neighbors. He be
gan to show his experienced and ex
pert farmer neighbors bow to farm. It
is true that up to that time he oould not
distinguish tbe difference between a har
row and a furrow, but his war expe
rience had made him a great man, and
his rank ot Major-Generai by brevet had
placed him in a position where to receive
advice would be not only ridiculous but
positively mortifying. He bought a farm
of some 100 acres and plowed into it on
bis own hook and in his own way. One
season be raised nothing but corn, another
nothing but wheat. Then came a year
when there was an oniofl famine. Here
was the General’s opportunity. He turn
ed his farm of several hundred acres into
one enormous onion patch. Some of bis
neighbors shook their beads. Others ex
postulated with him. Many tried to ad
vise him to change his plan.
“The worms will ruin you and the grubs
destroy the crop,” they said. In vain.
The obdurate hero of Fort Fisher knew It
all. Had be come lrom tbe command of
thousands of men to be told bis busiucss
by illiterate and obscure St. Lawrence
county farmers? The outons began to
sprout. So did the weeds. The General
took off bis coat and energetically began
on the weeds a crusade of extermination.
It was then that he made a tresh discov
ery. Grubs nearly half a loot in lengLh,
in myriads, were chewing up his precious
food. Discouraged? Notbe! He merely
scra'ched his head and pondered. He
gazed reflectively at his neighbors’ fields
laughing with plenty. He ransacked his
library for an antidote tor grubs. If the
question had been one of flanking a victo
rious army or of charging an enemy’s
works, he would not have hesitated for a
moment what was the proper and most
decisive thing to do, but as it was the mo
mentous issue of grubs he was utterly at
sea, and in the end bad to give it up.
Finally a neighbor came to bis relief—a
systematic and kind-hearted neighbor who
knew nothing of war but a great deal
about farms.
“The only way to kill them ’eregrubs,”
he said, “Is to give’em toads.” So the
general advertised for toads at ten cents
a dozen delivered on his farm.
“Blagues of Egypt!” he cried, when he
saw a procession a quarter of a mile long
marching up to bis place with from a
dozen to ten dozen toads. Every day,
regular as the sun arose, the procession
appeared, received its ten cents a dozen
for the batraebiaus and left, and no doubt
would have continued till the present
time had not the General made tbe shock
ing discovery that while tbe toads were
delivered in tbe morning, they were co
vertly collected at night and resold to him
tbe following morning, hence bis name—
“tbe toad-hunter of the Oswegatchie, or
tbe disappointed farmer.”

Smyrna to within two miles of DeLand.
and 200 bands are now at work. The
grading is being prosecuted within the
corporation, and in a few weeks the
whole line will be completed.
Tbe work of grading the St. Augustins

Safety Appllancns In Railroading,
Experience in British railroading goes
far to show that railroads are slow to
adopt safety appliances until they are
forced upon them by public opinion or
legislation. What is true in Britain, says
the American Machinist, is tine to a
greater or less extent in this country. It
seems sometimes to be, in the opinion of
railroad managers, cheaper to pay for
avoidable accidents than to adopt appli
ances to prevent them. Just here is
where legislation should come in with its
saving work. Railroading should notbe
hampered With foolish legislation, hut tbe
public has certain rights that can be se
cured in no other way either in this coun
try or in England. Such legislation should
be entered upon with great circumspec
tion, but it is within reasonable limits ab
solutely necessary. Very generally it is
a relief rather than otherwise to railroad
corporations.

J. W. Walker, agent for the Onion Cat
tle Company, of Cheyenne, has oharge of
a cattle barn located about eight mile*
from Omaha, which 1* tbe largest struc
ture of the kind in the world. It was
commenced in April, 1388, and (125,000
ha* been expended uposlt. There are ac
commodations for 8,760 head of cattle, and
tbe original design to provide for 8.000
bead will probably be carried out during
the present year. The building i* 400 by
600 feet, covering five acres, and in it the
cattle are fattened lor market. No com
plete are tbe arrangements for feeding
that one man can attend to it. All that
he has to do is to turn the faucet, and the
cooked meal, forced to large tank* above
the barn, passes to tbe feeding trough In
iront ot each animal. Forty-five men
do all tbe work, making one man lor
every 200 head of oattle. It requires about
1,000 bushels of meal for each (lav’s feed
ing, In addition to the hay from the pral
rie, which costs (4 a ton. There is a reg
ular system ol water work*, and with it
tbe flooring is cleaned up twice a day,
requiring only seven men to do this part
or tbe dally labor.
