THE TROJAN HORSE.
But nevertheless Troy was to remain
impregnable so long as it retained the
Palladium, wliioh, as we have before
said, had boon given by Zeus to the
founder of the city, Ilus. Ulysses, how
ever, having disguised his person with
miserable clothes and self-indicted
wftunds, introduced himself into the
city and found means to carry away the
Palladium by stealth. Ho was uecog
nized only by Helen, who concerted
with him means for the capture of the
town, A final stratagem was resorted
to. At the suggestion of Athoue, Epeius
aud Panopeus constructed a hollow
wooden horse, capacious enough to con
tain 100 men. In this horse the most
eminent of the Greek heroes concealed
themselves, whilo the whble Greek army,
having burned their tents and protended
to give up the siege, sailed away with
their ships, which they anchored behind
Tenedos. Overjoyed to see themselves
finally relieved, the Trojans issued from
tho city and wondered at the stupendous
horse, on which was written, that
it was dedicated to Athens by tho depart
ing Greeks. They were not long at a
loss what to do with it; and tho anxious
heroes from within heard their consul tar
tions, as well as the voice of Helen,
when she pronounced tho name of each
hero, counterfeiting the accent of his
wife’s voice. Some desired to bring it
into the city and dedicate it to flip gods;
others advised distrust at the
legacy. Laocoon, tho priest of Pose
idon, came with his two sons, and, in
his indignation, thrust his spear against
the horse, lithe sound revealed that the
horse was hollos?, but at the same mo
ment Laocoon and one of his sons per
ished miserably, two monstrous serpents
having been sent by Here out of the sea
to destroy them. The Trojans, terrified
by this spectacle, and persuaded by the
perfidious counsels of the traitor Simon
—who had been expressly left behind by
the Greeks to give them false infor
mation—were induced to drag the fatal
fabric into their city ; and, as the gate
was not large enough to admit it, they
even made a breach in their own wall.
Thus the horse was introduced into the
Acroplis, and placed in the Agora before
Priam’s palace. But even now opinions
were divided; many demanding that the
horse should be cut in pieces, others ad
vising that it should be dragged to the
highest point of the Acropolis and
thrown thence on the rocks below. The
strongest party, however, insisted on its
being dedicated to the gods as a token
of gratitude for their deliverance
After sunset the Greek fleet returned
to tho shore of the plain of Troy and
awaited the preconcerted signal. While
the Trojans indulged in riotous festivi
ties Simon kindled the fire-signal and as
sisted the concealed heroes to open the
secret door in the horse’s belly, out of
which they descended. The city, was
now assailed from within and without,
and was completely sacked and de
stroyed, nearly the whole population
being slain. Priam, who had vainly
sought shelter at the altar of Zeus Her
kelos, was killed by Neoptolemus. His
son, Delphobus, who, after the death of
his brofher Paris, had become the hus
band of Helen, was attacked by Ulysses
and Menelaus. Ho defended his house
desperately, but was finally overcome
and slain. Thus Menelaus at length
won hack his wife.— Dr. Schliemann'a

GREAT SPEED.
In a back number of the Illustrated
London News (for Aug. 10, 1844) the
following paragraph occurs: “On the
above day (Aug. 6, 1844) also were per
formed some wonders of railway travel
ling. The journey from Slugh to the
Paddington terminus was accomplished
in less time than the distance had ever
previously been traversed by a special
passenger train on the Great Western
line. The eighteen miles and a quarter
only occupied fifteen minutes and twelve
seconds.” Two columns further on,
also, we read that on the same occasion,
viz., that of the birth of the Duke of
Edinburgh, the trains conveying her
Majesty’s Ministers came down to Slough
in eighteen and seventeen and a half min
utes respectively. If allowance be made
for the shortness of the journey and the
great proportion of time therefore rela
tively consumed in getting up and reduc
ing speed, it would be difficult to find
an instance of greater rapidity than the
first instance quoted, even in the trials

ITNPUNCTZ7AL PEOPLE.
The lack of punctuality brings innu
merable evils in its train. It is the can
ker spot of successful business. Many
are the instances in which the neglect to
renew an insurance punctually has led
to serious loss. With sound policy do
the banks insist, under the penalty of a
protest, on the punctual payment of
notes, for were they to do otherwise,
commercial transactions would fail into
inextricable confusion. Many and many
a time has the failure of one man to
meet his obligations brought on the
ruin of a score of others, just as the
toppling down in a line of bricks of the
master brink causes the fall of all the
rest. Thousands remain poor all their
lives who, if they were more faithful ifi
their word, would secure a large run of
custom, and so make their fortunes.

Unquestionably, says the London
Builder, the moßt radioal point to be
kept in view when constructing a house,
with regard to permanent sanitation, is
the nature of the concrete or foundation
upon which it is to be constructed. If
the foundation be of fostering, germ
originating, malarious, gas-ovolving ma
terials, nothing can go well with the
health of those who inhabit that house,
until the festering lias exhausted itself
by lapse of many years—-perhaps many
generations. When, in a neighborhood
where building is going on, wo see a
board announcing “ Rubbish may bo
sliot here ! ” the public may tnko it for
granted tho permission thus liberally
aecorded will meet with literal fulfill
ment. Odds and ends will he thrown
there—“rubbish ” in its most obnoxious
sense, Wc have had the curiosity, this
some time past, to take stock of metro
politan foundation-building rubbish, and
have got quito accustomed to see the
predominance among it of preserved
meat in tin canisters, and old shoe leath
er. It might have been thought that
the manufacturers of prussiate of potash
would have had something to say about
the old shoes ; leather, like horn and
hoof, being a factor in their chemical
process. This, however, does not ap
pear to have been the case ; at any rate,
it is not the case an extent that can
satisfy any prophylactic physician. The
preservative virtues of tan, notwith
standing, leather will rot in time ; and
while rotting will give off injurious em
anations. It is tho preserved meat-tins
to which the most injurious effects of
such a foundation as we have described
are mostly attributable, and, every day
those tinned provisions coming more
and more into use, the evil is exacer
bated.
A LOST CIVILIZATION.
Sir William Jones, in his voyage to
India, found the in island of Johanna, a
secluded speck in the Atlantic off the
coast of Africa, this inscription in Ara
bic, above the door of a mosque :
The world was given tor our edifica-
tion;
Not for the purpose of raising sump
tuous dwellings ;
Life for the discharge of moral and
religious duties ;
Not for pleasurable indulgence;
Wealth to be liberally bestowed ;
Not avariciously hoarded ;
And learning to produce good actions.
And not empty disputes.
The people who were guided by thes*
maxims, if any people ever were, cer
tainly exhibited a high degree of civili
zation. It seems a great misfortune
that they should have perished from the
earth. Yet if such a race existed now,
and they possessed a country worth any
thing, some Anglo-Saxon race would kill
them off or drive them out, and take
possession of their lands, and whatever
else they might have worjh stealing.
reasons war.
Why does boiling fast render meat
hard ? Because the excessive action of
heat causes the albumen of the meat to
set solid, crisps up the fleshy fibers and
prevents the heat having a gradual ac
cess to the interior.
Why, when a good soup or broth is re
quired, should the meat be put into
cold water ? Because, as the heat is de
veloped very gradually, there occurs
an intermixture between the juices of
the flesh and the external matter. The
soluble and the savory parts of the
meat escape and enrich the soup.
Why are stews generally healthful
and digestible? Because, being com
pounds of various substances, they con
tain all the elements of nutrition, and, as
the office of the stomach is to liquify
solid food before digesting it, tire pre
vious stewing assists the stomach in this
particular.
What causes the crackling noise when
lard is put into a frying-pan ? Lard
' always contains some j >ortion of water,
and it is the expansion of this water into
steam, forcing its way through the fat.
The heat at which fat or oil boils is
much greater than water. When the
crackling ceases the water has been
driven off from the fat, and when the
fat begins to boil or bubble its heat
will be very high.
Why, in frying fish, should the fat or
oil be made very hot before the fish
are put in ? Because, if the tempera
ture is low when the fish is put into the
frying-pan it becomes sodden in the
steam formed by its water, but if the oil
is very much heated the water will be at
once driven off, and the fish nicely
browned by the scorching oil.
Why should fish or meat that is being
fried be frequently turned? Because
the turning assists the evaporation of the
water. When the fish or meat is allowed
to he too long the steam is generated
under it and the surface becomes sod
den ; and the moment the steam is driv
en on the surfaoe catches to the hot pan
and becomes burnt and broken.
Why is broiled meat so juicy and sa
vory? Because the action of the fire,
hardening its surface, seals up the pores
through which the juices might escape.
It acts in the same way that the sudden
dip into boiling water does upon the
joints of meat, but more effectually. To
turn broiling meat never use a fork, but
tongs ; a fork opens an escape for the
juice, and wastes the best parts of the
meat.
Why is cabbage rendered more whole
some and nutritious by being boiled in
two waters ? Because —according to Dr.
Paris —cabbage contains an essential oil
which is apt to produce bad effects ; and
he recommends ymt it should be boiled
in two successive waters, and then it is
soft and digestible.

A RKHINISCBNCH.
An account of the inoidents connected
with tho suppression of tho Chicago
Timet by Gou. Burnside, in 1803, is go
ing tho rounds, in which the fanciful
statement is made that Mr. Storoy took
o bundle of twenty-livo papers and
elimbod out upon tho roof, and, by
womis of the adjoining buildings,
reached tho sheet, with the remark that
uo never lost an edition ; and, also, that
‘.ho pressman took a hose and declared
that he would scald anybody who should
interfere. Anybody who knows Mr.
Storey well will not need to ho informed
mat lie did not wait till the quarters
were so close before getting copies out
of the office. The writer was a compos
itor on the paper at the time, and can
give a more accurate account of what
took place on the night iu question. It
was well understood iu the office that
the commandant at Camp Douglas had
orders to send a detachment of troops to
tnko possession of the establishment and
stop further editions of the paper, and
it was known that the guard would leave
the camp about midnight. Every man in
the building knew the principal facts o
fhe situation, and all labored hard at what
i ver work was given out. “Takes”
were short, and everything was kept
well in hand. Two men, mounted on fleet
horses, watched (ho entrance to the
camp, and when they saw the soldiers
emerge fo begin their march to tho
Times office, some four miles distant,
they made off as fast as their steeds could
cover the ground to carry the news to
‘•.the old man.” At once the order was
given to “close up,” and in a very short
time tho press was running at high
speed, printing an edition of tho paper
which was unusually outspoken in tone.
As soon ns a small pile of papers had ac
cumulated at any “fly” they were
promptly seized by someone and carried
to a place of safety near by. To this
labor everybody gave a willing hand, so
that, when the guard arrived, a largo
part of the edition had been printed and
convoyed out of the building. The press
was then ordered to be stopped, and
further proceedings prevented.
It was remarked that Mr. Storey was
in an unusually spirited mood, mingling
with the men with a familiarity never
before noticed. He knew the affair
would prove a good advertisement for
the paper, as it certainly did. The fol
lowing evening an immense meeting
was held in the Court House Square,
at which resolutions fiercely denouncing
the suppression were adopted. Excito
ment ran very high, and ferns were en
tertained of a counter movement against
the Tribune. That office was barricad
ed to the ceiling with bundles of print
ing-paper, and inside was said to be a
large and well-armed guard of deter
mined men. At the meeting there were
present many men who had come in
from the surrounding country, armed
and resolute, to “ gee the Timet
through.” The Unioh League was in
session, and at short ihtetvajs received
reports of the state of affairs in the
square from special messengers. Con
ciliatory speeches were made, and prom
ises given of efforts to secure the revoca
tion of the order, by means of which the
immense crowd were restrained from
violence. The next day President Lin
coln revoked Burnside’s order, and the
’limes resumed publication. —Newspa

TUB EXIiST CASTING.
Cast iron is now in such general use
that one might be apt to imagine that it
had never been invented ; but, like Top
sy, “hadgrowed.” Cast -iron was not,
however, in commercial use before the
year 1700, when Abraham Darby, an
intelligent mechanic, who had brought
some Dutch workmen to establish a
brass-foundry at Bristol, conceived the
idea that iron might he substituted for
brass. This his workmen did not suc
ceed iu effecting, being probably too
much prejudiced iu favor of the metal
with which they were best acquainted.
A Welsh shepherd boy, named John
Thomas, had some little time previous
to this been received by Abraham Darby
into Iris workshop on the recommenda
tion of a distant relative. While look
ing on during the experiments of the
Dutch workmen, he said to Abraham
Darby that he thought he saw where
they had missed it. He begged to be
allowed to try, so he and Abraham Dar
by remained alone iu the workshop all
night struggling with the refractory
metal and imperfect molds. The hours
passed on and daylight appeared, but
neither would leave Ins task, and just as
the morning dawned they succeeded in "
casting an iron pot complete. The boy
entered into an agreement with Abraham
Darby to serve him and keep the secret.
He was enticed by the offer of double
wages to leave his master, but he con
tinued faithful, and Uom 1709 to 1828
the family of Thomas were confidential
and much valued agents to the descend
ants of Abraham Darby. For more
than 100 years after the night in which
Thomas and his master succeeded in
making an iron casting in a mold of fine
sand, contained in frames and with air-,
holes, the same process was practised
and kept secret at Coalbrook Dale, with
plugged keyholes and barred doors.—

HOW THIS It CHOI. ARS HUHOLB,
The modern housebreaker is, how
ever, a far different person, and plays
for a far higher stake. He has probalJy
been in prison, and learned tho tricks .>f
the trado in tho bourn of combined labor
whilo undergoing penal servitude at
Dartmoor or Portland. It is here that
he receives tho first smattering of his
scientific education. Ho mny havo been
a clerk, or a discharged footman, or a
small shopman, or an errand-lad —some
one who has embezzled or purloined—
and tho discipline of his prison career
has resulted in nothing more than pre
paring him for tho exciting trade of a
professional thief. Society, he argues,
has injured him by depriving him of his
liberty, and he intends to ho revenged
upon society. He becomes a compan
ion of old thieves, and he is elected a
brother iu tho freemasonry of crimo.
He is told where property can be found,
how it can he stolen, and where it can
he disposed of. Stories of robberies,
nud burglaries, and midnight advent
ures, sound ns fascinating as the yarns
of miners at the diggings. Chance may
decree a long course of ceaseless work
and no reward ; but when the “ turn-up”
does come the prize is worth the win
ning. Thus educated th •orctioolly in
thieves’ knowledge, the felonious neo
phyte comes out of prison to be a con
necting link between the “lagged ’’ and
“lucky.” He knows what policemen
can be bribed, what information is nec
essary for his undertaking ; what public
houses and other haunts are frequented
by thieves, and what should be the gen
eral plan of the campaign on which he
has entered. He does not go rashly to
work, but bides his time, setting his
traps and snares with tke care of an old
sportsman. Unconsciously, domestio
servants, male and female, drift into this
world of roguery, and, before they are
aware of it, are led to betray the confi
dence of their employers. They are
plausible fellows, these modern burglars;
they can tell a good story and sing a
good song ; they can flirt with the silly
maids, and will “ walk out with them ”
on Sundays ; they bet a little and play
cards; and gradually they inmesh a
household by the agency of the in-door
servants, who have not the faintest idea
of the real objects of the crafty fellows
who have made themselves so agreeable.
People express themselves surprised at
the constant success of the confidence
trick, and all the devices in which good
acting and plausibility are opposed to
selfishness and vanity; and yet they
cannot realize the fact that agents of the
“intelligence department” of knavery
are constantly on the alert. —London

“As mad as a hatter” is a phrase
whose origin is lost in the dim recesses
of antiquity. Why a hatter should bo
madder than any other class of trauos
men has never been satisfactorily ex
plained, but the fact has remainod that
hatters are considered mad by the
adage. Perhaps the phrase libels a
worthy company of men just as tho
gravediggers in “Hamlet” lumped tho
people of England and eallod [them all
mad. It would seem that in this coun
try there is nothing for a hatter to bo
mad abont, especially as elections come
around so frequently. Yet it is, also,
too true that American hatters are very
mad at present, and whether the phrase
held good before, it certainly holds good
now. There are 1,000 mad hatters in
New Jersey alone, and at Orange, in
that State, they have nearly had an
Orango riot. Tho cause is anew hat
finishing machine that will do the work
of five hatters. The hatters are re
solved not to allow these machines to be
introduced; lieuce the trouble. Thus
the ancient phrase “ as mad as a hatter"
has new life infused into it.
