About month ago, during the exca-
Walton Of a peat bed in Cohoes, New
York, for the foundation of new mill,
now in the course of erection by the
Harmony Manufacturing Company, the
jaW-bone of q mastodon was discovered
about thirty feet below the surface of
the earth. This relic of the antedeluvian
age is Of immense proportions, and has
attracted the attention OF biologists and
students Of nature from all parts of the
country-letters of inquiry respecting it,
and personal examination having been
made by some of the most distinguished
Swans of the United States. But on
Wednesday, even this wonderful dis
covery was eclipsed by the excavation
OF still further fossiiiferous remains,
which complete nearly the bones or
framework of the mastodon. Eighty
tive feet below the earth's surface, and
about fifty feet below the place of the
original discovery, the workmen yester-
day came upon the remaining bones,
consisting as follows: Two tusks, back
bone, the upper jaw aud Uranium, a
number of the ribs, the hip bones,
shoulder blades and the bones of the
hind legs. The tusks were nearly six
feet long and about nine inches in di-
ameter. One of them, upon exposure
to the light, crumbled to pieces like clay,
resembling that substance in appearance
and texture.
The ribs, of which there were four
teen found, were about four feet long,
the largest being four feet nine inches.
The upper jaw bone is four feet nine
inches long from the extremity of the
mouth to the Uranium, and across the
forehead measures about three feet. So
heavy is it that It was with difficulty
four laborers could move the mass. The
sockets in which originally were located
the eyes of the monster are almost large
enough to admit the head Of a man.
The hip bone is five feet long and weighs
one hundred pounds; the shoulder
blades measure two feet nine inches,
and weigh about fifty pounds each. The
bone OF the leg at the knee joint meas
ures thirteen inches in diameter. The
other fragments found are in harmonious
proportion to those already mentioned.
Prof. Marsh, of Yale College, was
present soon after the discovery was
made, and pronounced it the most re-
markable scientific event Of the age
The structure will now be united in its
several parts by means Of wire; and
thus very accurate idea can be formed
of the size and weight of the monster
to which it belonged.

would pray to God for such witness as
this. Let her be examined"
She told her story with the simplicity
OF child that she was, but there was
d!rectness about it that carried con-
Vlction of its truth to every heart. She
was rigidly eross-examined. The couu-
sci piled her with iufinite and ingenious
questioning, but she varied from her
first statement in nothing. The truth
as spoken by that child was sublime.
talsehood and perjury had preceded her
testimony. The prisoner had entrenched
himself in lies, until he deemed himself
lmpregnable; witnesses had falsified facts
in his favor, and villainy had manu-
featured a sham defence, but before her
testimony falsehood was scattered like
chaff The little child for whom the
mother had prayed for strength to be
given her to speak the truth as it was
before God, broke the cunning devices
Of matured villainy in pieces like a
potter's vessel. The strength that the
mother had prayed for was given her,
the sublime and terrible simplicity
terrible, l mean, to the prisoner and his
perjured associates-with which she
spoke was like 4 revelation from God
himself.

! tector, from whom, perhaps, he receiv-

"The subsequent history ofthis sword
may as well be given here. From the
tina time of the presentation it continued in
the possession of the Grand Lodge, and
was borne by the Grand Sword bearer,
or in later times, the Grand Pur-
suivant, in all public professions.
At length, at the conflagration, which
IN the year 1888 destroyed so large a
portion of the city of Charleston, and,
with other buildings, the Masonic Hall,
the sword was with great difficulty
saved by brother Samuel Scyle, the
Grand Tyler, with the loss of the hilt,
the scabbard, and a small portion of the
extremity of the blade. In the confu-
sion consequent upon the fire, the sword
thus mutilated, was mislaid, and for a
long time it was supposed to be lost.
In 1852 committee was appointed by
the Grand Lodge to make every exer-
ton for its recovery, and at length, in
the beginning of the year 1854, it was
accidentally fonnd by the Grand Tyler
in an clubhouse on his premises, and was
by him restored to the Grand Lodge in
its mutilated condition. The lost piece
OF the blade was ingeniously replaced
by a cutler in the city of Charleston,
and being sent to New York, was re-
turned with new hilt and velvet
scabbard, and was used in its appropriate
place during the centennial ceremonies
of that year. With such history, and
blended with such tradition of its origin,
Weneed not feel surprised at the uni
versal and keen feeling occasioned by
its loss.o

The cashier went to the door, From

And did you not so forget self-respect,

"lf your employers keep you, sir,

said the cashier,ssternly. "You deserve

IN A H.URRY.-A curious wedding is
reported to have taken place some days
since near Bay City, Michigan, which
reads like this: It seems that farmer
lost his wife by death, and that said
wife died early in the morning. The
tarmerdid not appreciate being left alone
in the world, and ere his Wife's eyes
had closed in the sleep that knows no
waking, he determined to marry again.
Hitching up his team, he takes his SER
want girl and goes to Bay City, to bny
garments for the dead. While there
he married the girl and returned to his
home the same night with his second
wife, so by actual count he was not q
widower twelve hours. The new wife
appeared at the funeral next day in deep
black, and was one of the principal
mourners over the body Of the first
wife.

FEST 0ATfIs.-Dudley Field, the emf

before the Supreme Court of the United
States, on the unconstitutionality of the
Missouri Test Oath, made the following
allusion to English history:
9 England passed through all her
changes from the Plantagenets to the
Sovereigns of the House Of Hanover;
sheswung to and fro thro throes ofbloody
and cruel revolutions; she saw her
kings beheaded or dethroned, dynasties
taken up Or laid aside, governments Of
kings, parliaments and lord protectors,
and desoiating armies sweeping over her
land, without ever, as far as / can dis
cover, subjecting The vanquished to the
injustice Of eXpurgatory test oaths."

To usurp the functions of poor-devil re-

qualifications of the conqueror of Sara

instance of the innovation. The critiques
with regard to Ristori that have appear
ed i'll the New York Tribune have all
emanated from the pen of Miss Kate
Fields. Miss Fields is a daughter of the
senior member of the well-known Boston
and New York book publishing firm of
Ticknor 4 Fields. Mr.. Fields is
wealthy man; his turnout in the Park
is one of the finest in New York. His
daughter is a young lady Of remarkable
beauty, and as much character in her
way as the wellknown Yankee canta-
trice. Miss Kellogg, who boxes and
fences as well as she sings, and whose
knowledge Of music-and she is an ac-
complished musician-is but slightly

points of horses and dogs. Miss Fields
is an ardent admirer-one might say
she is Worshipper-of Ristori, and She
throws into her essays in the Tribune
all the emotions of her nature. Indeed,
she has liIened Ristori to 'an angel
from Heaven and somewhat to the
comparative disadvantage of the
angel. On Ristori nights Miss Fields
proceeds, Immediately upon the con-
clusion of the performance, to the 1ri-
bune Office, which is distant some two
miles from the theatre. Her escort
through the poorly-lighted and deserted
streets OF the lower city consists fcoach-
man and tootman. She usually arrives
at the Tribune office about midnight,
and, attired i'll full evening dress, mounts
the narrow and crooked stairWays Of
the building to burst, as a sort of be-
crinolined ;erolite, upon the vision OF
the assembled Jenkinses of Mr.. Gree
ley's establishment. F'linging her cloak
aside, she seizes pen and paper. and con-
structs her criticism, losses her copy
to the open-mOuthed Ganymede in at
tendance, and, followed by her turnkey,
sails out again to her carriage, and SO to
her Fifth Avenue home, to await the
appearance of the journal to whose
columns she has contributed. The scene
in the Office during the visit of Miss
Fields is a strange one. The Tribune
reporters constitute class by them
selves. They affect SLOUGH hats, or
sombreros, Byron collars, enormous
meerschaum pipes, and great moodiness
of manner. They smoke with vigor
