DR. SCHLIEMANN.
Itecollcctlons of tho Vnmoui Explor
er's JAto In Indlniinpotls Ills At
tnlnuiontH ns a Scholar.
In The Indiana Slate Journal of
April 9, 1809. is the official notico of a.
divorce filed by Henry Schliemann
against Catherine Schliemann. Tho
complainant was Dr. Henry Schlie
mann, tho famous arclnuological ex
plorer, and tlic circumstances surround
ing tho case aro of unusual interest,
both from the fact of the principal hav
ing become so well known since that
time, and tho real interest centered in
tho peculiar relations of Dr. Schlie
mann and Ids wife, and the causes lead
ing to the complaint.
Mr. Oscar 1$. Hord, one of tho attor
neys of tho complainant, to whom Dr.
Schliemann was well known, in speak
ing of tho case to a reporter for Tlic
Indianapolis Journal, said: "Tho
grounds for divorce, as slated in tho
complaint, as I remember it, was
abandonment Mrs. Schliemann was
a Russian lady, and was in St. l'clcrs
burg with her children at tho time tho
divorce was granted. Slio was a do
votcd adherent of tho Greek church,
and wisiicd to rear their family in its
faith. Dr. Schliemann married her
while a merchant in St. Petersburg,
where ho carried on a largo business.
Ho was in every sense a cosmopolitan,
and chafed under tho bonds of any
creed or doctrine that prevented tho
full development of thought or tho in
tellect, and wished to bo held sub
Berviont to no laws of church or state.
It was his desiro to givo ids children
tho benefit of a broad and liberal edu
cation, sucli as they might acquire- by
Btudy and extensivo travel, and to this
end ho wished to tako his family witli
him whoroTcr ids fancy might lead lilm
to go. His wifo, bolng born and
brought up in a country where frco
thought is littlo encouraged, and de
voted to tho institution of her country
nd forms of her church, and perhaps
nothing of a remarkablo woman, could
not bo Induced to leavo her nativo land,
and, moreover, insisted upon tho chil
dren receiving education under tho
guidiance of tho Crook church. This,
I think, was tho real cause of tho sepa
ration. During tho wholo of tho pro
ceeding! Dr. Scldiemaun never dropped
a word of disrespect toward his wife,
and scorned to consider tho affair as
vory unfortunate. Dr. Schliemann sot
tied upon his wifo and children a cer
tain amount of property sulllcicnt for
a liberal income Ho hoped that after
obtaining tho divorce ho would bo ablu
to got possession of tho children and
givo them a good, liberal oducation.
'In personal appcaranco Dr. Sclilio
mann was n typical Gorman of low
Btaturc, heavy, closoly-out hair which
was inclined to stand in all directions,
an enormous hoad, a prominent nose,
rcstloss bluooycs,an expansive forehead,
and animation enough for ton men.
Ho was a rogular stoam engine sort of
a man, and could work twonty-oight
hours out of tho twenty-four without
fatiguo. It soemod that ho was always
full of pont-up energy that was always
struggling to got out. Hu never camo
mi stairs like other men. 1 could
always toll ids stop on tho stairway, fur
ho camo up in a hurriod, blusteringsou
of way, with a force that little belongs
to tho ordinary climber of stairs.
Woro you to meet him on tho street ho
would" nttraut attention from tho ener
getic way in which lie hurried along.
Ho was possessed of unusual vitality
and activity of mind, and was continu
ally engaged in study or tho investiga
tion of some subject.
"His attaimunts as a scholar were as
raro as tlioy woro ronmrkablo for tlioir
dogreo of perfection. Ho was master
of tits Gorman, Kngllsh, French, Span
ish, Portuguese, Swedish and Russian
languages, and greatly dovotod to tho
study of tho classics, especially lireoK.
"At tho thno ho was in Indianapolis,
Dr. Schllomann was deeply interested
in tho study of Grecian antiquities, and
would frequently express his intention
of making tho oxplorations which ho
hu since mado. Ho jvas a firm boliev
er in a roal Homor and a real Troy, and
his recont oxplorations seem to conlirm
his boliof. Ho was remarkablo in con
versation, and enjoyed tho companion
ship of frlouds, although ho became but
littlo acqualntod in Indianapolis. Ho
usod to call frequently at tho ofllco and
talk interestingly upon tho subjects lie
had given special consideration. He
invited mo mauy timo to ids houso on
Noblo stroot, but 1 never accepted his
invitations, for, think of tho oxcruclat
Ing position in whloh a man would bo
compelled to sit and listen for hours to
tho wild speculations, as it was consid
ered then, of a thoorlst concerning tho
authorship of a collection of Greek
poems, or a fabled oity that was sup
posed to havo existed three thousand
years ago, or, if It ever did exist, had
been covered up for centuries. No
matter how hard ono tried to keep him
away from this subject lie would bring
it forward sooner or later.
With all his learning he was yet
jnodcat, and thought kindly of himself
as n scholar. I romeiubor of his onco
sftvinirthat ho had traveled about too
much to keep up Ills studies, and thnt
ho thought that wo proiessionai men
hero in Indianapolis woro certainly
much better scholars than he, as wo
had muck leisure llmo whloh might bo
i?lvoM to fctudv. As illustrating tills

somo of tho Grecian states, printed in
French, and in winch he claimed to
havo discovered the homo of Ulysses as
scon by Homer, and seemed utterly
surprised at my inability to read the
work.
"Dr. Schilcmann was a man of con
siderable wealth, having been engaged
in some mercantile business of consid
erable importance in San Francisco be
fore ho came to this city. Also in Fort
Wayne, this state. Wliilc in Indiauap
olis he made some investments in
stocks of difl'ercnt railroad companies,
and owned some property in tho city,
'and perhaps yet still retains a part of
tho investments lie made while hero.
His residence in Indianapolis covered
about two years. Soon after obtain
ing tho divorce lie returned to Europe."
THE NEW ZEALAND ERUPTIONS.
Wonderful DlHpluyn of Latent Knot
ty Tho Unrno Kxtcnt of Country
Affected A I'orllous Adventure.
The New Zealand Herald of Juno 19
says: Since the last monthly summary
there has been a sustained activity in
many of tho points of eruption in tho
lake district, but upon a comparatively
mild scale. On several occasions tliero
havo been wonderful displays of latent
cnorgy, but all these havo been very
tamo all'airs as compared with the ter
rible exhibition of foreo on the morn
ing of tho 10th of June, which sent up
tongues of llamo to the height of nine
miles. Many of tho boiling springs,
however, hare manifested an unwonted
energy. Some of them have trailed at a
lierce rate, and many of tho geysers
havo thrown up water to a great height.
The level of some portions of tho land
in the lako district appears to be
changed. Soveral of tho now volca
noes winch have been opened up havo
sent steam and llames to a very groat
height on different occasions, some
times to a height of upward of nine
thousand feet, but these fits of energy
aro of short duration, and tho resi
dents in tho district givo littlo heed to
them.
Tho largo quantity of volcanic ashes
which was thrown out in the first ter
rlblo outbreak, and which has spread
over somo L'00,000 acres, aro now found
to bo not hurtful to vegetation. In
places wliero the depth lias not been
groat tho grass and other vegeta
tion is springing up quite freely, and
many bellovo the ashes will yet prove
a benolit to tho district, and soveral
pooplo havo tested tho fertility of tho
debris thrown out by sowing various
kinds of seed therein and watering
with distilled water. In oach case tho
seed has grown and tho plant lias
thriven wonderfully in their new sltua
tolu. So satisfactory indeed havo
theso trials been that tho government
lias granted a sum of money to have
soveral portions of tho district (which
aro covered with too groat a depth of
volcanic ashes for tho covered vegeta
tion to break throuirh) sown down
with grasses and clovers as experi
ments on a largo scale. If these aro
satisfactory, as it is believed tlioy will
bo, tho greater part, if not tho whole
of tho covered district, will bo sown
with arlifieal grasses in tho spring, bo
foro tho warm weather sets in
It lias now been ascertained Hint tho
volcanic energy has been felt over a
considerable extent of country. At
sovorai points in tho South island in
creased activity appears to havo
occurred just prior to tho terrible out
break at Tarawora on Juno 10. A
boiling spring is roportod as having
mado its appearance undornoatli ono
of tho glaciers of Mount Cook. Uau
poliu, tho giant mountain in tho North
island, has a largo lako of hot wator on
tho top of it, and Miioko t reported to
havo been seen ris.ng from it on sover
al occasions. The ertiVtlvo points on
Tongarlro, and tho boiling springs on
tho southern shores of Lako iaupo,
aro all reported as having displayed an
unwonted energy recently, and tho
escapo of tho pent-up forces of naturo
it so many dilloront points can not fall
in soon bringing about a state of quiet
without doing any material injury.
Tho changes which have taken place,
though tho pink and white torraces aro
gone, aro expected to largely increase
tho attractiveness of tho district for
tourists, largo nuinbirs of whom aro
expected from Australia na soon as tho
winter is over.
Tho following information is given
bv Mai. Malr, who has roturnod from
an expedition to tho native settlements:
"After starting from tho landing place
at Walora for Moura, tho nativo settle
ment, wo worn accompanied by ava
lanches falling from tho dill's, which
foil into tho lako with terrible velocity
and weight, causing tho hike to make
a Bories of pulsations. They reached
to tho Bide of Moura village, whore forty-live
Maorics were buried. Hero the
mud was in a liquid state, running in
to tho lako with groat rapidity. Tho
wholo side of tho village had been shot
bodilv Into Lako Tarawora. Tho large
grovo of liaraka trees which grow there
was found iloaling a mile into the lake.
All tho rocky points about hero appear
to have battered or shaken to nieces
Floundering through tho mud over '.ho
village, ami llnding no signs of life, we
wont on to Arikl. Tho wholo front of
Tarawora on this side had luen
changed by earthquakes. At tho base
of tho mountain aro vast mounds of
volcanic grit, Tho Arlki Inlet, between
Tnrawera and Rukunaha is completely
tilled up, luaklug tint raugu like ono
and altering the contour of the country.
Tho south end of tho Tarawora
mountain is blown clear off, making an
indentation like knocking in the front
of a felt hat. This lias formed a largo
crater, which is still active. The upper
lip seems to be hundreds of feet deep.
Immediately behind Anki, in tho direc
tion of Rotomahana, is a very largo
steam hole near tho White terrace in
violent action, and from which arc
springing immenso clouds of black
steam laden with dust At Ariki tliero
were thirty natives covered by this,
thirty feet deep, with a top dressing of
two feet of soft mud." Maj. Mair
says it is evident that tho first outburst
was at the south end of Tarowara, from
whicli came all tho volcanic dust.
Then camo tho top dressing of mud
from the steam volcanoes round Roto
mahana. The wholo country looks liko
a vast bush clearing, except gray ash
instead of black, and tho natural fea
tures of tho country aro completely
altered. Volcanic action, as far as
Tarawora is concerned, seems to bo
rapidly exhausting itself, but at Roto
mahana Maj. Mair says tho volcanoes
show every indication of being perma
nent, and will have in future to be tho
attraction for tourists instoad of tho
world's wonder, the terraces.
Cant Way, who lived at Wairoa,
overlooking Lako Tarawora, obtained
permission on Juno z-i to go irom
Rolorua to his old homo to recover pro
perty. The party consisted of six per
sons, including Mrs. Way. They se
cured tho most valuable offects and
started to return, when the horses be
came mired in the mud Hats along tho
lako shore. Finally the party returned
to Wairoa and ono of tho number,
Arthur Warbrick, set out for Rotorua
for help. A relief party was sent out,
and the Ways finally arrived safe, after
enduring great hardships. Mrs. Way
was barefooted for noarly thirty hours
in mud and water. Capt. Way is un
able yet to wear boots, his feet being
cue and his clothes in shreds. With
tho exception of tho case of Mrs. Ilas
zard, who loses her husband and sev
eral children, tho caso of tho Ways is
the most to bo commiserated. They
had a beautiful property of tit
tcon acres, overlooking Lako Tarawora,
tho only picco of freehold and exempt
from tho thermal springs act m tho
district A tempting offer of $3,000
was latolv mado by a speculator for tho
property, but was rcfusod. It is now
simply a sand-mound. Capt. Way and
his wife aro now loft to begin tho bat
tle of life afresh with a young family,
tlioir usual sources of income complete
ly swept away.
The Judge and the Horse.
"1 want to sneak to you a moment,"
said a woman to a Dakota judge, just
after court had adjourned. "My hus
band is on the jury and 1 want you to
excuso him."
"That would bo impossible, madamo,

"But Ids work is being neglected
and lie ought to bo at home."
"Very likely, but I can't let him go."
"One of his children is sick."
"As Ion"' as-he is not dangerous ho

"Which ono?"

An Alligator Feasts on a Tramp.
Lnst wcok a man, presumably a
tramp, knookod at L. P. Thursby's
door about 9 o'clock at night, aftor tho
family had retired. Mr. Tliursby
struck a match and responded to tho
call. Tho man stated that ho hail
walked fifteen miles that afternoon to
tako tho night boat bound north and
,mt Lift, and wanted to stay over night
Thurshv handed him a key and pointed
to his barn, stating that that was tho
i..st 1m could do for him. Not until
aftor Mr. Tliursby had rotired did ho
think- of tho ten-foot alligator Ids boys
had in tho barn for the entertainment
of strangers next winter, and worried
nlilv about the man. As soon
as ho dressed next morning ho hurrioi
nut to tho barn to see about tho man
lln found the door looked, with tho
kv turned on the inside. Ho forced a
side window open, found tho alligator
in its usual comer, but the man w:u
missing- Tho evidence gathered seems
to point to tho destruction of ttio man
durhip tho night as tho animal ate
nothing whatever during tho next few
days. Nothing can be hoard of tho
man. and It is boltovvd ho came to au
untimely end thut night Orange Cits
