When Young men have nothing to live upon
but love, they commonly fall in love and get mar
ried--just as if hugging and kissing were substi-
tute for mutton chops, or as if terms of endear-
ment would supply the place of mashed taters and
ircaseed nackerel. The philosopher who said
that love was beatife madness, was not far from
the mark N. Y. Dntchma't.

RELICS OF riiE MouND BuILDERs-Mr Foster.
United States Geologist, in paper on the subject
of the ancient mounds. describes some samples of
woven cloth taken from a mound in Ohio, near
Charleston, in Jackson county. They were found
near the bottom OF the mound, enveloping copper
rings, and were greatly decayed, Though evidently
woven. He afterwards received from Mr.. John
Wood, of Ohio. some more perfect samples. The
cloth consists of ibrous substance like hen,p-
Mr.. Foster infeEs that the mound builders are a
more industrious people than the present race of
aborigines, and acquainted with arts OF which
they had no knowledge when America was dis
covered. The editor fthe Milwaukee Advertiser
in noticing this paper of Mr.. Foster, says:
'In 1885, we assisted in the opening of several
mounds, at Azatan, in Wisconsin, where better
samples were found, we should Judge, than those
described by Mr.. Foster The cloth found was of
the quality of coarse, heavy bagging, evenly
woven, and apparently of hemp or sea-weed.-
This cloth with still coarser fabric, resembling
Indian mating enveoped human skeleton.-
The whole was strongly bound with three twined
cord. and charred; but the cloth, mat and cord
were very distinct; affording excellent samples of
the different articles discovered. They were
found near the centre of large mound, and
era other articles, exhibiting skill in their
facture. and which would have been OF interest
had they been preserved and given to the public"

last.
The Court appointed to Gil The vacancy, Mr..
J. M. Stuart, who was admitted to practise on
the same day. Mr.. Stuart is undoubtedly a
young man of considerable industry, and the
Office will be good school for him, but as the
design Of the Office is not to teach beginners,
but to furnish an official adviser for the coun-
ty, and some one able to effectively prosecute
criminal cases, we submit it would have been
better to have given the Office at once 10 Miles
Searles, the newly elected District Attorney
Too much experience cannot be brought to
such an Office, and this selection of The green
est lawyer of the Nevada Bar, however full OF
promise, we esteem a decidedly bad move for
the public interests. More especially is it SO
at the present time, when there are for trial in
this county one man for murder, one for as
sault with intent to kill, and one for grand lar
ceny-cases in the occurrence of which the
community is too much jeopardied to have
them lightly or inadequately treated.
