On Jan, 28, 1880, at the Palmer Houde, in this city, was held a meeting of the committee of the whole, at which time it was determined to leave tho matter of the next reunion, as to time and place, to the Executive Committee. A cireu- lar was Issued by tho Executive Committee, and a copy addressed to the Mayor of ench of the principal elties in the State, asking for bids to secure the meeting for this year. The Committees adjourned, directing the Exceutive Committes to mect in Galesburg, Il, on Mny 4, to open bids and determine time and place of the next reunton, ‘There wero bids from thirteen different cities In the State, and Galesburg was determined upon xs the next placo of mecting of the re unfon, and the date was fixed at Aug. 4, 3, and6, A Local Executive Committes has been appointed in that elty, oflcored by L. 8, Lambert, Chairman; L.

A QorAs-YousPlenso Stato In for tho Beuetit of Criratnal Students, Bpectat Correspondence of The Chicago Tribune, Saws Quantity, Cal, May 14.—Californin, with a population of tess than a milion souls, has oo criminnt eclemont within her boundaries atall times of several thousand I do not refer to petty erlmes, but that which fs generally denominated high class, stteh as murder, highway robbery, burg lary, and grand larceny. ‘The Stato Prison at San Quentin harbors about 1,500; tho bal- ance are in the different county jails, or are, for the timo being, free of the meshes of tho Inw, industriously plying thelr voention as occasion serves, Desperadoes of avery no- tlon under the sun flock to California as to a promised land, and here they commit thelr moat desperate deeds, becatige Callfernin ts the natural home of the bandit. With {is mountain chains and — gorges, ity forest —_ fastnesses, {ts hidden caves renter It nt once the retreat and sufety of ye bold highwayman, And then what rich prizes the modern Dick ‘Turpin captures at times In Callfornial For this is still the Jnnd that poets sing: ‘Tho Innd of old, Tho Innd of gord, * ‘Tho lund of 40} A. grent deal of travel is necessarily dono by stage-conch, and many bricks of gould bullion are sent by these conveyances from tho mines to tho elty banks or offices of inin- ing compantes, ‘T'wo determined hifghway- men with shotguns londed with buek-shot. enn enpture any stage that ever crossed the mountains. ‘The best man that lives will werken In the presence of a shutguit, Hf held by a desperado who has the “drop” on im, Lknow thore aro those who may read this who will deny the soft impeachment. Uhnave heard it often, But onee placed in the purl tion thoy all say, like the coon, You needn't shoot; [ll come down.” as Californin always hns her quota of, des- erate men, it follows that highway robber- esare the rule rather than’ the exception, The chances are desperate, but frequently the reward is great, Cries of violence, such ns murder and as- sault to Kill, are also of frequent occurre: in Uns State. ‘The “Greaser population, treacherous and deaperate ‘nt all times, but particularly so when drinking, which we inay say fs all the thne, commit n goodly pro- portion of these crimes, with ‘love,’ linte, revenge, or moncy 1s hupelling causes. Many escape, but the majority are captured, and 11 coursy of thine find thelr way to the State Prison at San Quentin, where one would think a brief stay would so sicken thelr freo souls that they would pine for liberty, which, onco scoured, they would know how to ap- preefate, Notsv. There are convicts in San Guentiy now who hive been here half a dozen tines, and they like It. ‘The fuct fs, Californians know nothing about running a State Prison, and convicts, instead of being reformed, come here only 10 pertect themselves in criminnl exploit. There is the greatest freedom of communica- tion allowed between prisoners; they may subscribe for just what thoy please in the way of reading matter, tho result being 2 deluge of Police Gazettes ond iitorature of that kind. Numbers of the convicts are em- ployed as “trustees and have certain privileges denied to less fortunate “cons,” nud go far did the spirit. of toleration extend atone ime that the officials winked at the existence of 8 faro bank which was con- ducted by certain boss prisoners, ‘The situation of the prison Is all that could be desired by the most esthetic “un- fortunate.” It is but twelve miles from San Francisco, and most plersantly situnted on a peninsula atthoextreme south: cast Hinit, of Marin County, ‘Tho gentle breezes of the bay, interspersed by au ocen- slonal zepbyr fromthe ocean, fan Hie afr, and keep the atinosphicre at all tines pure. ‘Tho centre of the sPeison-yard is devoted to the productions of Flora’ under the ministering care of three or four convicts whose tastes run in that groove. Nor Is the sense of the subllme forgotten, Look around In what- ever direction one will; the grandest natural panornma salutes the oye, On the one hand majestic Tamal palsy ita frowning penk kiss- tution Ing the clouds, Invites the contempla- tion of -the philosophic “con? while on the other the . bluo waters: of tho Bay of San Francisco stretch away and lose themselves in tha foothills of Can- tra Costa. ‘There Is an eyer-moving pano- ramn of sail and steam vessels on the bosom of the bay, and the eye may nt all tines find hew delights whorever it may bend. ‘The convict who cannot in such a home find pleasure must be hard to please, especially whon Ladd that there is ie work to do,— nothing but ent, drink, sleep, and be merry, And horein Seg the secret of the facé thut California has a large criminal element, ‘The State Prison fs but o training school for criminals, and the highway seems thelr legitimate place, They are fostered in erfma by the State, which confines them at San Quentin, and practically says: “Now, boys, talk tho nitter over among yourselves, and If you putup any more jobs which you execute after you get away from liere Pil Jock you upagiint’? And the boys talk the matter over among thomselyes, exchanges Ideas in rogard to criminal enterprises, and so perfect themselves. Among the more notorious criminals who have served In. San_Qrentin was o fellow generally known as Newt Morgan, convicted of forging poll-tax receipts. Ile was sen- tenced toctavon years’ imprisonment, He had funty of money whou he arrived at San Gnen in, and was received by the officials with open arms, He -was installed In an official position and netually had more to say during his Lomporary “yatirement”? in re gard to the Inside insnagement of the prison than any olilcer there, He always dressed in cltizens’ clothes and was in all respects quite the Grand Mogul, Among the Inst acts of Gov. Irwin was to pardon Morgan, A great. many people found fault with the Governor for this, but I think It the wisest thing he could have done. If Morgan had staid much longer the other prisoners sveulit have “resigned” in a body sume fine morning. ly the terms of the Constitution recently adopted in California State prisoners may not be employed at any trade which will in any menner compete with tree lnbor. it Will therefore be found practically Impossi- ble hereafter to employ their services.

Marietta engerly volunteered to folluw the track of Lord Prudhoe, alter wards fourth Duke of North- umbertand, and of ‘Tattan, to collect for France what Copite and Syriac manuscripts had escaped the Investigation of the two great English travelers, and, after inquiry, the Freneh Government did not hesitate to necept his services. In August, 1850, the young savant left France for Egypt, In Alexandrian ho was surprised to find lying {n the gardens of European residents a great wumber of sphinxes In Iimestone, covered with anelent Greck inseriptions, He was Intormed that they had all come from Sakka- rab, the site of the ancient Memphis, and had been found In the desert, and he concluded that they could not but be connected with one of the marvelous avenues that led to the Egyptian snnetunries. On reaching Catro, Auguste Mariette placed lilmself in conmu- nication with Linant Bey, who volunteered to guide hin tn his expedition, Having visited the Pyramids and explored the vast necropo- Ny in the midst of whieh they sthuil he pro- ceeded ty Sakkarah, and, wile sawalting tho arrival of his friend he made 8 topographical survey of the necropolis, Ho purposed re- maining » few days,—lhoe actually remained four years, Ile remembered a passage In Strabo, In which tho old geographer, who was born sixty feat B.G., spoke of the Sera- peu of Meniphis belng placed at the en- trance of the Lybinn Desert, and being con- stantly threatened with invasion from the gand. Soon afterwards iis foot struck against what proved to be n ibation table sculptured In honor of Osiris-Apis, which 1s now to be seen in the Lonyre, and he concluded that the tomb of Apis, which must contain so ingny selentific treasures, could not be far off, and he determined to seek for the Sern- peum at all risk: fhe search for manus scripts was given up, and lis credit nnd futuro career were at stake, ‘The Egyptian Apis, ns old ag the worship of the divine bull, had two homes, in one of which he live’ under. the nanie of Apis, the other, where he reposed after his death, under the name of Osornpls or Serapls. Tle was pre- pared to find tho Intter plundered of its treasure, as It was by the early Christiang, but tho plunderers had, perhaps, spared tha arehwological and historical treasury, whieh was far more valuable, than any amount of allver and gold, He commenced his Inbors in the desert with a score of fellutis, sumo with pliekaxes, suma with baskets to carry off the sand. A second sphinx soon rowarded = their labor, and others followed to the number of twenty-one, ‘They formed n few of those which constituted an avenue of gphinxes in the inididle of 9 vast necropolis. The nvenne wound its crooked way between vast funeral monuments, ‘The labor entalled might be gathered from tho fact that while the sphinxes first discovered Iny abn depth of twelve fect below the sur- face, the others were found at a depth of be- tween sixty and*seventy feet. At Inst the 135th sphinx was brought to light ata spot where the avenue turned to the right at an angle of 85 degrees. ‘The work was pushed on vigorously In spits of enormous diflicul- tles, Which ‘the Iecturer detalled at some length. One day oloven of the laborers were buried under an avalanche of sand, and were with diflicuity extricated, ‘The head men of the nelghboring villnges ordered that all sup- nies of food should be withheld, and the feliahs were forbidden to worl: for hin, Dut in spite of these aud yarioug other ditl- culties, Ineluding orders from the high- cat authorities In'Cairo to deslat, which “he disregurded, he perseverad. ‘After tho Ltst aphinx had been secured, x spucious dromox, pave with fing fngstones, was discovered. it was in shape 9 seimiclrele, decorated with eluyen Greek statues ot pocts, Bitann phere and law givers, and It stopped the oxplorer's ways He determined on a now Sopirinrs and soon cams ona chapel, bearing tho royal cartouche of Neelanbo L of the Wth-dynns- ty, the Inst but. two of the I Pharoahs. ‘The tmage of Apis stood welcome indication to the young that he was on tho right track. But. the chapel stopped his way and he had to take a now direction. Ho did so to the west, and two othor chapels were discovered; ono in the yptian, the other in tho Grevk style, ‘Tho latter was empty; in the former stood 0 statue of Apisin stone with the solar disc before hls horns, ‘Che statue, before which Aloxander the Great, Cleopatra, and Cesar must have passed, and which must have witnessed the Inst solumn rites of tho fune- tals of Apls, was now an object of ndinira- tion at the Louvre.

[yh oMclals arrived from.Catro with prohibitions which he contrived to disregard, When his Inbors were found to be crowned with suc: cess, the Exyptlan authorities clatmed thelr fruil; but the monuments he had discovered ho contrived to have convoyed to Alexandria and shipped to France, European Interna tlonal Jealousies and Turkish eupldity con- splred together against the young antiqua- rinn, but with unilagging enthusiasm he cone thiued his course, and after a lonethsned period the French Government {nterfered on his behalf and sent hin a large and welcome romittance, ‘The detalls of tho furthor exen- vations wore narrated by the lecturer, who Aulded that during the wight of the Tth of November, 1851, the Inst loads of sand wero removed, and along gallery was opened ta view. 1] lorer nitenaptedt to enter, but Thy ex, Tis light was uxunguished by foul alr, At Inst he was enabled to enter, and stood in the tomb of Apis.

THE PRAXITELES MERCURY. An Art Treasure from Olympta, with Ita Origin und Contemporancous slstory Deseribed, Richart Grant Waste tn New York Times, The Astor Library has received withian few days 8 fino cast of one of the most beauti- ful works of art that have come down to us from the great sculptors of Ancient Greece, It is the head and bust of s statue of Hermes, inade by Praxiteles, and reeently unearthed at Olympian, Iermes 1s the Greek name for the god wha.is known to most English renders as Mercury, the Intter being tha mine which was given to Hermes by the Latin poets, through whom the modern knowledge of the Greek mythology was first derived, Of the noblo beauty of this Inst discovered. treasure of Greek art it would bu dificult to say too much; rather, indeed, it is dificult to say enough, yet with discretion, for it must inka a placein the highest ranks of seulpt- ure second only to the Phidian work on the pediment of the Parthenon (the Elgin mar- bles) and to the misnamed ‘Venus of Melos.” It represents Hermes bearing on his left arm the infant Dionystis, or Bacchus, the former being the oll Greek name for the god known to tho Romans, and the Inter Greeks by the latter. But the Greck Dionysus was a being of a much higher type and finer fibre than tho Bucchus of the Latin poets, for the TRonmns conrsened everything that they touched. According to the old mythology (for mythology hins its pertods aud almost {ts fashions), Dionysus, who sas tho son of Jupiter and Semele, was in his Infancy in- trusted to Hermes, who delivered” him to certaia nymphs to be brought wp and educated; for his | moth- er, Semele, was consumed Jove’s Ightning when he sppronchetl herat her req. tt—-made on the suggestion of the jenions Juno—in all hfs proper aplen- flor and power, as if she were A goddess, Jlermes was much connected by trnditlo. and by the pocts with the Infancy of Bacelins in other respects; nnd’ the representation of the tivo together fs not uncommon in Greck art. ‘The statue of which we have here a re- roduction of the hend and bust, although It hears no fngeription and has been hidden in the earth for more than a thousand years, has the ndvantage of having its subject an Sts sculptor known with” certainty—two polntg of knowledge which are not often uuited in regard to ancient works of art, For Pausanins, a Greek writer, to whom we owe the most of such knowledge as we have upon such subjects, mentions tis yery statue. and its sculptor, and the place fn-whiteh it was found. “In after times,” he says, “othor statues were dediented in the Heraion at Olympia, nanoly, a Hermes of marble, carrying the infant’ Dionysus, tho work of Praxiteles.” Here we have the very thing destribed by, Pausanias, found tn the very spot in which ho tells us thot lt had been pineed. Without tho ald of this passage In Pau sanias It might have been dificult to dls cover the eitcet of this surpassingly beau, tiful statue; for tho god is not represented with nny of tho usual signs and tokens of Is office and hfs identity. He has no ca- dluceus, no winged cap or sandals; he does Hot apperr as the flylng message-benror of Olympus, nor in nny of his ‘sterner or less respectable characters, He is shown simph nyoung man in the carly pinta af strength nnd beauty, But, notwithstanding this, and notwithstanding the destruction of tho fig- uro of tha Infant Bacchus, there can be no doubt nbout the statue, For upon the round of the young god’s grand shoulder thing has loft five tiny fingers, laid there in childish confidence; tie position of the status shows that the Infant lay fn the hollow of his bear- ers arin, and that the latter was looking with love and admiration upon the nursing, Tho god leans his loft arm, in whieh the ehftd” fs, upon trunk of a sycn- Wore treo, about which there is some drapery, - which platy falls from the child, “fhe lexs of the figura ara un- fortunately broken about half way below the knee, and the lower fragmenta lave not heen discovered, ‘(hese particulars [ gather froin the photogtaphg of the statue which are published In Berlin, for the east tn the Astor Abrary fs ineroly of tho head nnd shoulders, ‘Tho statue fs colossal; butitis not on such 4 large senlo o8 to be In the least oppressive on. near view, : The head Is remarkable not. only for its sweet and noble beauty, but for fts type. might well be taken for tho head of youn; Hercules, ‘Tho hair isin the short eurla which the Greek artists seem to have regnrded ns an accompaniment of unusual manly atrength, and {tcomes down low upon the forehead, ‘The profile 1s not that whieh gen- enilly appears fu Greek representations of youthful beauty, olther in man or in woman, ‘The nose {s somewhat arched and approaches the Roman type; but it has a beauty of out Ine and proportion and a nobility of expres- sion which is to bo found inno Roman protile thnt Tenn remember. ‘Tho mouth, for the fine- noss of ity form and its unton of sweetness with mantiness, surpasses, 1 venture to say, that of nuy other male head which has come down to Ua from antiquity; and tho chin, square and half dimpled, (3 such as fs found only inthe finest spechnens of tho highest type oftman. ‘The outline of this profile at ho nose, mouth, and chin unites wil of randaur and of grace that can be imagined nan ideal head, I know nothing equal to it, not even that of the Venus of Melos.” ‘But the most remarkable, although not the most bennthful part of .this faco—yet in itself beautiful with a strange peculiar beauty—is the forehond, which hus not that breadth and that smooth purenity which might be exe pected in the heatlof nyoung god, On the contrary, It is notably eo and {3 rough oned by o very inmarked projection of the lower part, owing to a larga development of tho frontalsinuses, ‘Phts glyes an expression significant of strength of will and of energy inaction. ‘The sculptor happily succeeded in avoiding any meun or contracted look consequent upon this narrowness of tho forehead; but, nevertholwss hers is not the plucid brow ‘of youth and of divinity, “But in expressfon the faco, with “all its strength, and notwith- staniing this almost roughened forvhoad, can only be entled lovely.
