Th« City of 9tW Pagodao.
An intere*ling discovery has been
made by the archaeological department
of India In an old pagoda at Pagan,
which has been called the city of the
9009 pagodas and the religious capital
of Burma. Excavations at Petleak-
payu, or “the Pagoda of the Curling
Leaf,” have brought to light an arched
corridor or ambulatory, forming part
of an older building than the visible
portion of the pagoda, which clearly
dates from the reigu of Anawrata in
the eleventh century. This corridor is
decorated with double rows of square
terra cotta reliefs on the exterior and
interior sides of the walls, preseuiiug
the transmutations of Gotama before
he became Buddha. The number of
these changes is supposed by tradition
to be 500. “The figures are vigorously
modeled,” to use the words of the offi
cial narrative, "and almost as sharp
and as clear now as when they left the
kiln.” The Inscriptions are in the Pall
character and are easily decipherable.

She Sells Books.
The most successful book canvasser
In the United States Is a woman. She
is a Russian and came over here ten
years ago, unable to read or write
English. Now she is earning $50,000 a
year selling “special limited editions”
for a Philadelphia house. This woman
thinks It nothing to sell a set of books
for $10,000, of which she receives 40
per cent. The books of course are sup
posed to be bound in covers of special
design, the paper, printing and illus
trations are of the finest, and the edi
tion Is said to be limited. The woman
sells the books mostly to wealthy wo
men. She drives up to their homes In
a magnificent carriage, attended by a
footman In livery. She never falls to
Impress the prospective customer with
her refinement and frequently poses as
a Russian countess. There Is hardly a
society woman In the country who has
not purchased a set of books from this
woman.—Argonaut
could save. All large ac
counts have grown from
small ones and the bank
is really of more help to
the small than the large
depositor. A growing
bank account is a most
valuable asset. It makes
its owner acquainted
with business men, busi- .
lishes a valuable credit.
You can open an account
with this banl^ by de
positing one dollar. We
will furnish you with a
nice pass book and lend
you our aid *in accumu
lating a fortune If you
open a savings account,
we will pay you 4 per cent, interest on y<fur deposits and compound the interest 4
times each year and your account may be withdrawn at any time.

Manassas arrd its Vicinity.
Yesterday Mr, J. G. Love, a veteran
of the war of 1861-5, brought to The
Ledger office a map of “Manassas
and Its Vincinity.” The map shows
Bull Run and the battle grounds ad
jacent, as well as all the Important
points within a radius of forty-five
miles, including the Potomac river,
Alexandria 6iid Washington, The
map was published in the kichmond
Enquirer shortly after the battle.
Attached to the map is an obituary of
M5r. John E. Love, a brother of Mr.
I, G. Love, who died at Centreville,
on Feb 16, 1862, of typhoid fever.
The map was clipped from the En
quirer by Mr. John E. Love and
mailed to his father, who then lived
at Smith’s Ford, then in Union coun
ty, but now in Cherokee. On the
map are three pencil marks indicar
ting battle grounds on which Mr.
Love fought for the glory of his
country.

Mr. Edson C. Price, of Atlanta,

ing to the adjustment of losses sus
tained by the fire Saturday by occu
pants of The Ledger building who

A Glimpse of Aldrich.
On tbe day when he last entered the
Atlantic office, in January, Mr. Aldrich
seemed, for the first time, to have |
grown old. One of his friends spoke ,
of It as he went out. Up till that .
morning the weight of seventy years !
had scarcely seemed to tomb the erect, 1
jaunty figure. The lines that time
had written around his clear blue eyes
and firm mouth conveyed no hint of
senility. His bn!r was scarcely gray.
His voice, slightly husky in its graver,
sweeter tones, retained a delicious
youthful crispness as It curled and
broke, wavelike, into flashing raillery.
He bad Just completed bis poem for
the Longfellow centenary, his first
verse after some years of silence, and
when it was praised to Ids face—for i
who could help praising it—he blushed |
with pleasure like a boy. Yet he had
passed threescore and ten. and the
shadow, invisible as yet and quite un
heralded, was drawing very near.—
