was heard for al least ten miles, and

In a grove at the fisil of the bill on
which lln- magazine stood, a private

oll.ee side of the bill were a railroad an.l
two wagon mads, leading to Miners-ville,
ami on these roads some narrow

pic-nic grounds wen- dreadful; the
scr.-an.s of the people and tlie cries ol

by ihe loud and deafeiiing report, the
stones U-gan to fall like a heavy shower
among them, killing an.l injuring many
of those who but a moment Issforewere

Mrs. I.alligau immediately snatched
up her infant child and ran out ill the

him on the Iroiit shoulder, inflicting
an ugly wound.
There stands in Mount Hope, on the
main street, three adjoining houses. A
stone, weighing about -•'.>" pounds, en-tered
the gable end of the one facing
the magazine, about ten feel from the
ground, and passed directly through
the three, and lauded about twenty-live

SOCIAL LIFE IN ATHENS.
Grand mansions, prodigies of luxury,
as well as ofexcellenl taste, have arisen
and are rapidly rising in Athens, and
their owners or inmates, Whatever may
Is- their birth or social position, are liv-ing
in a spendor implying Ihe disposal
on I heir part of considerable revenue.,
ih... an. however, though iu some
ca.es Hellenic citizens, in a great mea-sure

They an wealth] merchants, whose for-tunes
were mad.- in some instances iu
tlie great cities ol Ihe Ottoman Empire
Constantinople, Smyrna, Salonica, 9u .,
and in other cases in Manchester, Liv-erpool,
and other commercial places,
iu England, Germany and elsewhere.
Their patriotism brings Ihem to end
their ilav- or to -p. ml several months
of the year in this place, contributing
with tbi-ir free-handed liberality either
to enlarge ..r embellish the city by their
palatial buildings an.l gardens, or lo .
promote ihe public welfare by handsome
subsu.ipiion.. to ibe charitable institu-tions,
and P. lb.- educational an.l other
establishments of the Slat.. The Athe-nian
Academy of Arts, for instance,
on.- of Ihe most elegant structures in
the world, and the I lliscrvatorv on the
Hill of the N'yinphs, have been erected
and founded at the expense of Baron
sina, a banker at Vienna. Some of ,
these slrav Greeks, who would ill allow
themselves l<mg absence from ibuir fac-tories
or counting houses in northern
countries, have been recommended a
change of air by their doctors, and arc
thus more .»r less forcibly banished lo
their native climate.
Thi-s., worthy patriots, however,
strongly attached as In.-) may be to their
coiuitrv.eaii hardly Is-said to have their
roots in lb. soil. Th.ir I,.-art- uiuat to
a great < xleni IH- wneri- their In-ajires
lie. Many "I these gentlemen also were
either not born in this country or have
been absent from il for many year-.
They aud their families find themselves
I.e.. ,/.,.",/... •; their habits and ways of
thinking an- not those of their country -
people. Th.y do not till in society the
place which they, perhaps, consider
their due, ami lli.v live, so to say, in a
world apart, clubbing among Ihem-solves,
and loving their people wilboul
sufficiently attempting lomil with them
or caring to know Ihem. A merchant
class, besides, whether engaged in home
or foreign business, cannot represent
Ibe substantial wealth nor constitute
what iiiusi iu any community Is- the
r.-al ruling power of the country. In
Greece there is. pr..|«,r,y speaking, no
sei ot gr.al landed proprietors, or, as
on*, would sav in England, no territo-rial
aristocracy. The Turks at their
conquest-at least on the mainland
-wept away all indigenous owners of ihe
soil. Tl >• land was claimed a- the Sul-tan's
property and distributeI by him
among a few of bis Mussulman favor-ites.
After the war of lntlependence the
estates abandoned by the Turks became
siat*- property. When offered tor -ah-it
