THE PHILOSOPHERS STONE.
The eccentric. but brilliant John
! Randolph. once rose suddenly up in
his place in the House of Representa-
tives. and screamed out At the top Of
his shrilI voice-"Mr Speaker! Mr..
Speaker. | have discovered the phi
losophet's stone. 1t is pay as you
IGor'
John Randolph dropped many
gems from his mouth, but neve Ii
richer one than that.
!Pav as YOU Coz and vou can walk
the streets with IN erect back and
manly front. & have no fear OF those
YOU meet. You can look any man
in the eve without finching. You
won't have to cross the highways To
avoid Il dun, or look intently into the
show windows toavoId seeing n cred
itor.
sPay as you Co. and you can snap
your finger at the world, and when
YOU laugh. it will be 4 hearty, honest
one. 1t seems 10 US sometimes that
we can always tell the laugh OF a
poor debtor. He looks around Is
though ne was in doubt whether his
laugh was not the property OF some
Of his creditors, and not included IN
articles exempted from attachment.
When he does succeed in getting out
an abortion-he appears frightened
and look. rs though he expected 1t
would be pounced upon by a cons'a-
Bile.
> sPav as YOU Coz and you will meet
smiling faces at home-happy cherry
checked, smiling children. and con
tented wifc-a cheerful hearth stone.
John Randolph was right. 1t is
the philosophers stone.
Battle of Bunker Hli--Discorsry
lof~ interesting Relics.-For some DAYS
past, workmen have been engaged in
digging a well on the Battle ground
+ in Charleston, on land owned by Phi
nea. J. Stone. On Saturday, quite
an excitement was produced by the
discovery Of several entire human
skeletons, AMI on some careful search
being made. a large number Of otheI
articles were found, which at once /
= Identified the spot asthe depository o
the remains Of Il large number o
those who fell in the memorable bat
tie of the 17lh June, 1776. The skcl-
etonS were in an unusually soun'
'condition, and on one of the skulls
q wound, apparently inflicted by
sword, was plainly visible. On an
other, the hair wa found almost en-
tire. and in a remarkable state of pre-
~servation.
Quite a number Of metal buttons
numbered from 43 to 81, were ais,
- thrown up. These would seem Il
have belonged TO the enemy, as the,
, bear the numbers of several Of thei
regiments. and as it is well know
that none such were by the A
mericans. The other articles ccnsi,
of knee buckles, musket balls an
copper coin, the latter being to
much corroded TO discover their cha
~acter or dates. The plice wher
these remains and relics were 'oun'
is supposed to have formed a part
one of the main enirer.c hments az tn
time Of the battle, and that the bod
les we're covered up where they ie
or were thrown in Immediately aft
the conflict.
TINS common grave could not ha'
been originally more than three fe'
under the surface of the ground, bl
the earth having since been filled
and raised considerably, in order
= procure a gradual slope from Il
Monument. il is now found to
N some fifteen feet below the preset
surface.
We understand that since the
discoveries, the project OF consiruc
S ing a well at that place, has been
bandoned.-Boslon Times.
