Remarkable Discoveries.

1t may not be generally known that
the ground on which the city of Nash
vile now stands was once the site OF an
ancient and popaious townj yet such Is
supposed to be the fact. Some Of the
most interesting antiquities OF our State
are found along the lower course OF the
Stone River, but Il few miles from Nash
vile: A wide area of couLtry there, IS
covered with thousands Of graves OF a
now forgotten people
But few days ago several gentlemen
made some reasearches in this region and
found their labors richly rewarded by
some striking discoveries. AT place
known as Shells Spring they found a
mound Of considerable height and per-
haps thirty feet in diameter, which
proved upon examination to be nothing
less than a vast mausoleum of the dead.
The graves were found to be made Of fiat
rooms symmetrically joined together, and
three tiers deep from the base to the apex.
Bones were found in a remarkable state
of preservation, together with pottery
and shells. Very large ornaments have
been dug out in this locality, made from
shells found in the Cult of Mexico.
A gentleman of acknowledged skill
and authority in antiquarian matters
who conducted the researches made: a
few days ago, estimated that the remains
they unearthed could not have less age

4 Millionaire Private.

in sketch. of the life of the late Elias
Howe, Jr., the inventor of the sewing
machine, we find the following incident:
"At the moment when Mr. Howe
avowed his determination to enlist, his
coachman had entered the building to
witness the proceedings. He was Il
warm-hcarted freshman named Michael
Cahill, past the age of military service as
determined by law. Upon hearing his
employers speech, he rushed forward,
and cIambering upon the platform, he
cried out: "Put down my name, too! |
can't bear to have the old man go alone!'
Cahill, coachman, next to that of Elias
Howe. Laughter and cheers mingled i'll
about equal proportions.
For four months after the Seventeenth
Connecticut entered the field, the Gov
crnment was so pressed for money that
no payments TO the troops could be
made. One day private soldier came
quietly to the paymaster's Office iii w ash
ingtOn, and as there was several officers
already there to be ATTENDED to, he took
his scat in corner to await his turn
When the officers had been disposed of
Colonel Walker turned to him and said:
"Now, my man, what can l Go for
you?"
81 have called" said the soldier, "to
see about the payment Of the Seventeenth
Connecticut"
The paymaster, n little irritated, told
him bluntly, ''that paymaster could do
nothing without money, and that until
the Government could furnish some, it
was useless for soldiers to come bother
ing him about the pay oftheir regiments"
"I know" said the soldier, ''the Gov
ernment is in straits, and have called to
find out how much money it will take to
give my regiment two months pay, and
if you will tell me, am ready to furnish
the amount"
The officer stared with astonishment,
and asked the name Of the soldier, who
was no other than Elias Howe On re-
ferring to his books, Col. Walker found
that the sum required was S3l 900. Up
on receiving the information, the private
wrote draft for the sum, and received
in return a memorandum certifying the
advance, and promising reimbursement
when the Government could furnish the
money.
Two or three days after, at Fairfax
Court House, the regiment was paid
When Mr. Howe's name was called, he
went up to the paymaster's desk, receiv-
$2S so of his own money, and signed the
receipt therefore, "Private Elias Howe,
Jr." After rendering all the service Il
man in his physical condition coul rem
der, he reluctantly asked a discharge
AMI returned home. He used to say to
the soldiers;
81 have got to leave you, boys. Tm
of no use here; but never mind; when
your time is out, come to me at Bridge
port; I'u building a large sewing ma
chine factory there, and | shall nave
plenty of work for those who want it"
Many of his comrades took him at his
word, and until his death were 1T work
under him in various capacities.

Mrs. Lincoln's Wardrobe.

The New York SIN says of the eXhihi-
ton of Mrs. Lincoln's wardrobe i'll
Bradv's auction room:
Long previous to the customary open
inc hour, the doors leading to the sales
room were bcsiegcd with IN eager crowd
of males and females, who clamorcd for
adm. tance, and throughout the day, un-
til 4 k, an almost continuous procession
of ci. zens continued to ascend and de
sccnd the stairway, while in front of III"
building fashionable cquipages from the
uptown avenues all day long continued
to deposit their precious loads. Few OF
these visitors, however, call for the pur-
pose of making purchases, as is manifest
from the slow manner in which the sales
are made. Occasionally, however, a visi-
tor who "means business" appears, as
was the case yesterday, when one OF the
camcps hair shawls found a purchaser at
$500, as did also two Of the diamond
rings, one Of which was purchased by a
ieweler from Maiden Lane, for 81 $50, its
original cost being 81 800 while the other
was purchased by a we'll known actress
for the sum of $500, -whirf: is 5000 less
than its original cost. A number OF the
least costly dresses have also been dis
posed of recently, at prices varying from
s25 to $50. Tie eight dresses, varying
in prices from 800 to $500, which occu-
pv positions on the sofa at the northern
extremity of the room, stiH retAain un-
sold, aut; doubtless will meet with no
purchasers, at the figures at which they
are now placed. A few days ago, MIR.
Brady received an offer of S13, 900 for the
enti consignment from an enterprlslrg
Snowman, who announced it as his de-
termination, should the purchase be eI-
fected, to take them to Europe for pub
lie exhibition. Upon the receipt OF this
offer, Mr.. Brady immediately wrote to
Mrs. Lincoln regarding the same, and
few days afterwards received re y from
the lady, who expressed her decided dis
approval of such course, stating that
she much preferred that the goods should
never be sold, than to be disposed Of
with such view.
IT is stated in connection with Mrs.
Lincoln's recent visit TO this city, that
the lady in adopting the incognito mode
of travelling, claims to have done so from
motives of delicacy, desiring to avoid the
Inconvenience, though they might be IN
the form of honors, resulting from beng
known, she preferring quiet to ostenta-

HEAVY INVESTMENT QUICK RETURNS

HEAVY INvEsTMENT-QUICK RETURNS
"A gentleman who knows the facts,
tells us that three "high-blooded gentle
men" (that they were, we depend on the
sequel to show stepped into colored
mans saloon in Steubenville just after
the late election, called for whisky, filed
their glasses, struck an attitude, CHECKED
their glasses, and drank to the following
refined toast: r.
Here's 10 the man that pulled the trigger,
That killed the man who freed the niger"
Then smacking their lips with many
a wink and wag they laid down the
change. The bar keeper kept cool till
he had the stamps, then notified his gen.
tlemanly customers that he was coming
round" and that it might be that they
were wanted at, home They squared
for the reception which was soon on
hand. In about ten minutes, two hatless
gentlemen With ,ruffied shirts and feel
ings were making $40 time down the
road, and the third, the poet, majestically
stretched on settee, was moving gradu-
ally towards doctors Office.
The beauty of the investment lies in
the QUICK returns. Wonder how they
like it as far as they got.-C. Herald

A War.ing to Early Risers.

The recent life Of Josiah Quincy has
the following good anecdote:
One day, Mr.. John Quincy Adams,
who was addicted to the same vice rf in-
temperate early rising, with much the
same consequences, was visiting my IA
thcr, who invited him to 90 into Judge
Story's lccture-room, and hear his lecture
to his law class Now Judge Story did
not accept the philosophy of his two
friends III this particular, and would in
slst that it was a more excellent way to
take out ones allowance of sleep in bed,
and be wide awake when out of it
which he himself most assuredly always
was. The Judge received the two Pres
idents gladly, and placed them on the
daiS by his side fronting the class, and
proceeded with his lecture It was not
long before, glancing his eye aside to see
how his guests were impressed by his
doctrine, he saw that they were both of
them sound asleep, and he Saw that the
class saw it too. Pausing a moment in
his swift career of speech, he pointed to
the two sleeping figures, and uttered
these words of warning: "Gentlemen,
you see before you melancholy exam
pie Of tie evil effects of early rising p
The shout of laughter with which this
judicial 06iter djctuns was received, eff
tectually aroused the sleepers, and it is
to be hoped they heard and proflted by
the remainder Of the discourse.

present state of mind. Regarding the
harsh criticisms that have been passed
upon hef for. dispoaing Of ;niany of the
articles which belonSed to her husband,
Mrs. Lincoln claims that she can account

were given one to Hon. Chas. Summer,
another to Fred. Douglas, another to

The Ohio Senatorship.

The Dayton Journal of the 21st says:
During the recetit campaign we re-
peatcdly warned readers of the Journal
that the Democratic candidates for the
Legislature in a majority of the doubtful
and the certain Democratic counties and
districts, were pledged to support Val
landigham for the office of q. S Senator
We took pains to acquire information on
tile si,hject, and had reasonable assurance
that our statements were true.
We now assert that majority of the
Democratic members of the General As
sembly ate committed to the election of
G. L. Nallandigham to the Senate, and
that so sure as they go into caucus, just
that surely-unless enough are bought
off to defeat the nomination-will G. l..
Nallandigham be the caucus nominee
His election will follow of course.
There are 8nly two alternatives by
which he can be defeated: If his antag-
onists will keep their Democratic friends
out of caucus and so defeat an election,
or if they will unite their strength with
that of the Republicans, and elect Hugh
J. Jewett or II. B. Payne. The former
is the readiest plan. The Republicans,
will no doubt, object to any combina-
ton;
Tile facts VIC have stated above may be
relied on.

than six or seven hundred years. What
is remarkable, no warlike implements are
found in this locality, from which it is in
ferred that they were a peaceble race,
and were probably exterminated or driv-
en- away by the Indians In one of the
graves was found Il beautiful vase which
had been placed in the hand of the in
mate of the tomb at tile time Of burial
Upon this little bit of earthen ware, was
the model of a diminutivc animal. The
care which these, people took of their
dead shows a high degree Of Humanity.
We learn that other Investigations in this
section are to be made ere long. The
field is certainly rich one for the anti
quarian.
