fin .Hntidote to alcohol, DR.. Beck, of
Dantzic, has just made curious discoye-
ry. He has found an aniidete, or coun-
ter-poison, for ardent spirits. 1t is a mi
neral paste, which he encloses in an
olive, and which, once absorbed, destroys
not only the rising effect. but likewise
the disastrous consequences Of drunken
ness. He tried several experiments on a
Pole, an irreclaimable drunkard. The
individual, named Radevil, swallowed
three bottles Of brandy IN succession, and
after each bottle ate an olive prepared by
the Doctor. He experienced neither the
effect of drunkenness nor the slightest
sickness.

mounds Of sepulture, of sacrifice, Of wor-
ship, Of observation, and of defence, be-
sides miscellaneous. The mounds of se-
pulture rarely contain more than two ske-
letons, and are square or ellipsoid. The
mound at Grave Creek, Marshall county,
Virginia, is unique. Il is seventy feet
high by eight hundred in circumference,
and covered with forest-trees. Il was
opened in 1888, and in the center were
found male and female skeletons, in a
small chamber constructed of wood and
stone, with a passage out toward the
northeast. On one of the skeletons were
four copper bracelets, and a small stone
pc ole, containing the inscription which
had excited so much attention, was laying
near BY. The mounds Of sacrifice are
raised platforms, in altar mounds. Char
red skeletons are found, which suggest
human burnt offerings; one such skeleton
had Its skull fractured so much as to pro-
duce death. The guard-monnds rarely
contain any remains; their, position iidi-
Gates their character. Mounds OF. obser-
vation command most of the Valley of
the Mississippi, and probably served for
fre-telegraph. The temple mounds
stands within Enclosures. and contain no
remains. Mounds have been thrown up
BY the Indians for defense, and for refuge
In inundation. So also the Indians pile
up heap of stones over their dead. Occa-
sionally circles of stones are found about
the back of the mounds, reminding US of
the Druidical circles. They are most
frequent in Yucatan. There appear to
have been four methods of interment by
this ancient race: first, in chamber in
the center of a mound, stretched from
east to west, with copper ornaments ac-
companying the body; second, by folding
the body in small stone coffin; third, by
incremation, the ashes being placed in
earthenware urns; and fourth. by gen.
eral sepulture, which was probably done
after the general slaughter of battle.

The Lost American Race.

From the New York Tribune we ex-
tract the following:
DR.. De Haas, of Virginia, whose dis
covery of an inscription in one of the
ancient mounds of the west excited con-
siderable attention in the archaeological
world a year or two ago, estimates that
there are 100000 tumnli in the United
States. Their shape is very varied, and
they are smaller and more numerous in
the north than in the south. Their ST.
tuation indicates that they were built
by an agricultural people; indeed, they
are generally most numerous In those
portions of the Mississippi Valley which
are now most numerously settled. In the
lake region of Wisconsin there are some
which are in the form of animals. Most
of these mounds are places of sepulture,
and with the skeleton are sometimes
found brass implements, and even pieces
of cloth. Some mounds in the south and
west have been and are being built by
Indians, but they are different from the
ancient mounds in every respect.
The ancient tHffiuli are never found or
the first terraces of the rivers, which DR.
De Haas supposes to prove that they
were built before the rivers had cut theiI
present channels. He divides them into

AShOrt Patent Sermon.
by DOW JR.
Tsrt-Paythe Printer.

..
MY DEAR FRIENDs.-The debt that
sits heaviest upon the conscience of NOR
tai, provided he has one, is the debt due
to the printer. 1t presses harder on ones
bosom than the night mare, gals the soul,
frets and chafes every ennobling senti,
ment, squeezes all the juice of fraternal
sympathy from the heart, and leaves it
drier than the surface of a roasted po-
tato. -ra fN
A man who wrongs the printer out OF
a single red cent can never expect to en-
ioy the comforts of this world, and may
well have his doubts of finding happiness
in any other.
Oh! you ungrateful sinners! If you
have hearts moistened with the dew of
mercy, instead of gizzards filed with
gravel, take heed what say unto you. If
there be any among you in this congrega-
ton who has not settled his account with
the printer, go and adjust it Immediately
and be able to hold your head upin socie-
ty like giraffe ; be respected by the wise
and good free from the torture of gull
ty conscience, the modification of re-
peated duns, and escape from falling into
the clutches of a lawyer, which is lone
and the same thing If you are honest
and honorable men, you will go forthwith
and pay the printer.
You will not wait till tomorrow; it is
but visionary receptacle for unredeem-
ed promises-an added egg in the
great nest of the future, the debtors
hope, the creditors curse. If you are
dishonest, low-minded sons of Satan. Idc
not suppose you will pay the printer. as
you have no reputation to lose, no char
acter to sustain, no morals to cultivate
But let me tell you, my friends, that il
you do not do it, your path to the tomt
will be strewn with thorns; you will have
to gather your food from brambles, youl
children will die of dysentery, yourselve:
will never enjoy the blessing of health

The Girard Rent-ROn.

The rent-roll Of the Girayd real estate
in the city of Philadelphia amounts yearly
to S152,l The farms outside the
built-up bounds of the city, and belonging
to the estate, yield a revenue of $6,662
per annum. There is a fine row Of houses
on the north side of Brown-street, and
extending from Fifth to Sixth, which are
not yet completed. They will add mate
rally to the income of the estate. The
coal lands belonging to the estate, in
Schuylkill and Columbia counties, are
valued at S1,354,000. The restriction
of the will of Mr.. Girard, which forbids
the leasing of any property Of the estate
for longer term than five years, pre-
vents the mines being worked. 1t is be.
lieved that if this restriction were remov.
ed, the coal lands would yield revenue
of 1925, 900 per annum, and in ten year;
the revenue would amount to $500, ,00C
yearly.

Curious Scientific Facts.

A slight blow is sufficient to smash a
whole pane of glass, while bullet from
a gun will only make a small round hole
in it because In the latter case, the par
ticles of glass that receive the blow are
torn away from the remainder with such
rapidity that the motion impaired to them
has no time to spread further A door
standing open, which would readily yield
on its hinges to a gentle push, is not moY-
ed by cannon-ball passing through it.
The ball, in passing through, overcomes
the whole force of cohesion among the
atoms of wood, but its force acts for SO
short time, owing to its rapid passage,
that il is not sufficient to affect the inertia
Of the door to an extent to produce mo-
ton. The cohesion of the part of the
wood cut out by the ball would have borne
a very great weight laid quietly upon it
but suppose the ball to fly at the rate of
1900 feet in a second, and the door to be
one inch thick, the cohesion being allow
ed to act for onlya minute fraction of a
second, its influence is not perceived. II
is an effect of this same principle that the
iron head of a hammer may be driven
down on the wooden handle, by striking
the opposite end of the handle against
any hard substance with force and speed.
In this very simple operation, the motion
propagates so suddenly through the wood
of the handle, that it is over before it can
reach the iron head, which, therefore, by
its own weight, sinks lower on the handle
at every blow, which drives the handle

Gambling ON the River.

Johe F. Barnes, ESqs of Johnstown,
Pennsylvania, having taken passage at
Pittsburg, for New Orleans, writes a
letter to the Cambria Tribune. in which
he narrates the incidents Of the trip
After having left Cincinnati he Witnessed
a gambling scene, which he thus de-
scribes:
A sleek-lool1ing fellow shufied a pack
of cards, and the by-slanders bet upon
certain ones turning up trump. If they
came up trump the banker lost, if not, he
won. After the cards had been thrown
several times, an individual among the
crowd bet twenty dollars that he could
turn up any one he would bet on. He
tried it and won, and continued betting
till he had won $50. Then another in
dividual commenced betting, and was al
lowed to win three times out Of four
Next a young Frenchman bet upon a
"club, 'and lost $40 Those who had
been successful before, now bet again and
again won. Finally, an honest-looliiDg
German, on his way to the west, bet
seven twenty-dollar gold pieces, and
lost. Again, he bet five more, with the
hope of getting back portion of what he
had lost, bat the FIVE went with the seven.
All this was done in less than half an
hour. Those who bet first aud won, we're
mere decoys of the banker, who mingled
with the passengers, and acted as though
they had never met before, when the
fact was that they were accompIices with
the banker, in the purpose of robbing any
passenger who might be induced TO bet.
