native copper running through the rock; and
1t was evidently with a view OF getting this
metal that this extensive opening had been
made. This was the first instance where "an-
cient diggings,n as they are famiilarly called
in the Lake Superior region, were ever rec
ognized as such; and this artificial cavern
presents the most conclusive proofs that a peo-
pie in lhe remote past worked those mines.
Upon the discovery OF this mine, attention
was at once directed to numerous other cavi-
ties and depressions in the surface OF the
earth at this and other points, and the result
was that nearly one hundred ancient pits
were found, and in all of them mining tools
of various kinds. -s9fu1 lui. &
These ancient mines or pits are not restric-
ted to one locality, but extend over the en-
tire copper region, from the eastern extremi-
ty of Keweenaw Point to the Porcupine
Mountains, a distance of nearly one hundred
miles. In some of the ancient diggings, the
stone hammers have the marks of hard usage,
fractured or battered faces, and a large pro-
portion of them are broken and unfit for use;
but In other pits the hammers are all sound,
and many of them have the appearances of
never having been used. Atlantic Monthly.

Under the above heading a late number of
Dr. Hall's Journal of Health [gooa authority
contains the following article upon subject
which interests every one in this locality at the
present time. We hope our readers will not
fail to profit by the suggestions offered:
"The matter of small pox impregnates the
air Immediately around the person or bedding
of the patient; and any unvaccinated iadivd-
ual, or one who has never had the small pox,
who comes within ten feet of such persons or
the bedding, is very sure to have the pimples
appear within fortnight.
In some cases vaccination wears out, and
ceases to be protection against small pox,
and exposure 10 1t gives varioloid. The longer
a person remains from small pox after vaeci-
nation. the more severe the attack will be, II
it is taken at all
Those vaccinated in infancy are most likely
to have varioloid between the ages of sixteen
and twenty-five. This being so, most i'm
portant practical inference Is to be drawn
THAT the occurrence OF puberty in some way
diminishes the power of vaccination agalns
infection; hence it becomes the imperative
duty of every parent to have the child yacci
mated on entering his fifteenth year. II it doe
not take. no harm has been done; Ii it doe
take, the chances Of an odious and fearfu
disease have been with great certainty remov
ed. This re-vaccinati0n should be repeated a
twenty-five, especially If that at fifteen doei
not take. WD
In order to fix in the readers mind strong
and clear idea of the value and necessity OF q
re vaccination, a single fact will be stated
The Prussian government, more than any 9th
er, enforces vaccination and vaccination
In 1887, of forty-seven thousand soldiers re
vaccinated, the full effect took place in TWEEN
ty.one thousand; and of these last, although
the small pox prevailed all over Prussia tha
year, not one single soldier took it.

The New style Of Legislation.

The United States Congress put itself to
a.vast amount of unnecessary trouble to
secure the amendment of the Federal
Constitution so as to abolish slavery 1t

ginia Legislature that no amendment
was necessary, and that slavery could
easily hc abolished by the passage of an
act for that purpose 10y bare majority
OF votc. According to themodern the
ory of Aour Government, States have no
reserved rights, no control over their do
mrstic institutions which is not held
subordinate to the will of the Federal
Government Whatever State Legis-
lature lnaydo, Congress is also privileged

this trouble abOut amending the Consti-
tuition The West Virginia Legislature
has abolished slavery in the short way,
in defiance of the State Constitution,
and why could not Congress do the same
thing! Ii would save Il great deal OF

this talk about peace, these visits Of the
agent OF the Federal government to
Richmond, the conference of the Presf-

1t is within the memory of all OF our

dared talk about peace was branded as

rebels, and endeavor, by the resources OF
craftsmanship, TO effect a termination OF
the war Happily, that madness has now
almost passed away, and the President of
the United States now travels two hun
died miles from the capital to meet and
confer with three distinguished rebels,
without exciting the wrath of more than
half dozen radical malignants and NAL
contents. That much has already been
gained, and we regard it as an omen OF
