Extraordinary Discovery Below the Great
Falls OF the pOfOnlnG.

The Washington Evening Union OF
Monday has lengthy communication from
Thomas G. Rafinson Fellow of the Royal
Society Of North Antiq., Copenhagen, Civ
ing description of a discovery made by INN
recently Of a Runic inscription on rock
near Georgetown, which, translated, reads
as follows:
"IIere rests Syasy. or Suasu, the far
haired a person from the east of Iceland, the
widow of Kjoldr, and sister of Ihorgr, chill
dren of the same father, twenty-five years OF
age. Nav God make glad her soul. lOol.~
Upon digging in the earth at the foot OF
the rock few human teeth and bone.
which crumbled upon being exposed to the
air, two Roman coins, and three bronze
trinkets were found.
Above the Runic inscription the name OF
'sW. Langley, 1853" is carved. Mr.. Raj
fnson considers the discovery of these things
as unquestionable proof of the visits of the
Icelandic voyagers to this continent, but 1t
is still more remarkable, as confirming q
statement made in an ancient manuscript
which was dug out of the runs OF the an
Gent college at Skalholt, in Iceland, IN which
it is affirmed that, under the command OF
Herbardur, his countrymen sailed IN south
ernly direction from Vineland, Cor Marthas
vineyard, } where they wintered, and thence
I'D a sea and various rivers, the ascent IN
one of which was stopped bya succession OF
falls, to which from their shape and toamy
appearance, they gave the name Of Hvldsderk
or white shirt and the Ms. further states
that in this neighborhood tie Legitimate
daughter of Snorri was killed by a small
spear Cor arrow and buried near the spot
where she fell.
1t was the reading Of this narrative which
led Mr.. Rafinson to explore the country
around these falls, and his labors have been
abundantly rewarded he has not been
hoaxed.

emo AT THE NEXT ELECTION. The Ohio
State Journal shows that it will require but
a slight change in the sentiments of the peo-
pie of the state to give the next legislature
to the democratic party. 10 effect this there
needs to be Union loss in the Senate of
nearly seven members, and in the House of
eighteen, Or twenty-five in all. 1t would re-
quire, says the Journal, &c but six thousand
aud thirty-fve votes to change the political
complexion Of both branches of the legisla-
ture, giving the democrats control of both
Houses, majority on joint ballot, and there
fore successor to Wade in the Senate"

TO DESTROY RoAcHEs.-An observant
friend who detests reaches, and who had
tried many remedies without success, at last
resorted to the following with entire success
1t will be valuable to housewives in any city
greatly infested with these pests:
''Take ten cents worth of pulverized Prus-
sian blue, mix it with a little -four and sugar
put the mixture on a piece of paper, and
then lay the paper on the floor where the
reaches generally run. Try it for week.
and they will all disappear. Prussian blue

tons"

THE CoNCLAvE OF PRELATEs IN RoME-
Mandfcem Presents to the Pope.-A letter
to the Pail Mall Gazette, dated at Rome,
June ed, says:
The number of priests drawn to Rome by
the solemnites from every country, but par
ticularly from France, is beyond belief. They
are already estimated at thirty thousand, and
though this may be an exaggeratlon, their
number certainly exceeds twenty thousand,
and still they come.
The procession Of Corpus Christi took place
the day before Yesterday, and was very splen
ded. Tt had special feature in the number
of prelates in its ranks, amounting, with the
cardinals, to no less than 34S. The bishops
Of Latin rite all wore white mitres and white
capes without any embroidery and the car
dinals were only distinguished from them by
the satin work on their mitres. The orien-
tai bishops, with the archbishops, prinate
and patriarchs, were. on the contrary, at
tired in all the magnlfcence Of the East, THEN
mitres embroidered with gold and richly
iewoled. and their aiadems, which took the
shape of an imperial crown, blazing with
gems
The Pope appeared, in spite Of the doctors
looking very pale and jaded. The French
priests assembled in thousands to see the pro
cession, and, confident, in their numbers
gave free expression to their zeal, knocking
off the hats of those spectators who cid moi
uncover at the proper moment.
The foreign bishops have brought the Pope
some magnificent presents. Their donations
in money alone amount to | 500, GOO crowns
or 7 500 000 frances, and their other gifts
are of great value. Cardinal Matthew, Arch
bishop of Besancon, has presented him witt
an ostensior several feet high and having
it's massive gold disc enriched with diamonds
and rubies Of rare brilliancy. The Bishops
of Canada have brought a work Of art in th(
shape of a silver ship, with every detail
beautifully executed. The ballast of thi
costly toy is composed Of gold nuggets, anc
each of the cabins contains a heap Of gole
!, money from different country The mast
and cordage are gayly dressed with banl
notes of every color and from every countr,
in the world.
A very old bishop sought an audience Q

Of his carrying it into the Pope's presence
, The Bishop claimed exemption from the rul
t and the Pope, hearing what was going on
ordered him to be admitted. Accordingly h
l appeared before the Holy Father, and rem
dering his homage, stated that his dioces
: was SO poor he had nothing to bring him bu
< his stick. This the Pope took in his han
and found it very heavy, on which he locke
: at it more closely, and perceived that it wa
: formed of solid gold. The Archbishop
Mexico has sent the Holy Father 50,
crowns, and an English bishop has presente
him with the large sum Of 100000 ster
, ing. The American bishops are said to |
bringing an enormous tribute.

A HARVEST SCENE.


Fair and fresh the winds are blowing,
Brightly shines the sun to-day
Over meadow, hill and woodland,
On the newly gathered hay.
White and purple, green and golden,
Fleck the fields afar ard near;
While the harvest hands are singing,
ssWe'll have well flld barns this year,
Hear the winding beck that ripples
Thro' the meadow, copse and gleu,
How it murnurs, as if ans ring
Back the joyful songs Of men.
Now in sunshine, now in shadow,
Winding out and winding in,
Like mirror it rehecteth,
All day long the hasIast scene.
Length ming shadows now from woodlands
Over beck and meadow creep,
While behind his rgeouscurtains,
Sinks the harvest sun to sleep.
Giving promise to the reapers,
After labor, rest shall come
Tired hands be calmly folded,
Midst the sacred scenes of home.
Patiently the farmer waited
Work d and waited like man,
Never doubling that the Master
Well would end what he began.
Now he hath the promised blessing,
Fruit for all his honest toll;
Never lord was half so happy
As the tiller Of the SOIL

Poisoned ARRows-A writer in Harpers
Magazine tells how the Indians poison their
arrows:
A rattlesnake is caught and penned. He
is made angry by being poked with sticks,
when piece of deer liver is held towards him
on the end Of stick Into this he strikes his
fangs The liver is then withdrawn, q piece
of dogwood about four inches long, is care
fully sharpened, is thrust into the incision
made by the fangs. The stick is permitted
to dry for short time, when it is dipped in
to glutinous solution, which, drying, her.
medically seals the poison, which would other
wise decompose. This piece of dogwood is
used at the head Of the arrow. To be woun-
ded with such an arrow is almost certain
death.

already projected is the Lsavenworth and

the richest portion of the State. This
road connects with the Union Pacific at
