The origin of the curious mounds
common all over this continent has
long been subject of inquiry and
A curious and novel
idea has been made public by st.
Louis Judge, relative to the mounds
on the American Bottom. He argues
that the locality Of st. Louis end Its
envir0ns was once the bed of great
lake, supplied by the Missouri and
Mississippi, with an outlet at Niagara
Falls. In the course of centuries the
barriers of the lake at the Falls were
worn away, as the present falls (the
outlet at Erie) will In time be. The
great lake was thus drained, and the
region became cultivabie. But 1t
was a dangerous region. When the
ice and the drift-wood came down,
the narrow passage below would
gorge, and the river would stand
back on the former bed of the lake.
To remedy this, a race of people, far
superior TO the present Indians, prob.
ably the ancestors Of the Azteca,
built the mounds as places OF refuge
for themselves and their fiocks aud
herds, when the water rose. They
were evidently built for practical
purposes, and are clearly artificial
formations. They were not intended
for burial places, as no skeleton or
weapon has been found I'm any of
them, except one skeleton, and that
was wrapt I'm a Mackinaw blanket.
liz we take into account the "wear
down" of all these mounds for q
thousand years, and count their num-
bcrs on both sides Of the river, 1t Is
easy to see they were once capacious
enough to furnish places of refuge
for all the inhabitants of the valley,
and their fiocks and herds and pro-
visions.

Historical House i'm
Knoxville.

a Knoxville correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette says the house of
Colonel Armstrong, near that city, Is
historical. During a part of the siege
OF Knoxville IL was occupied by rebel
and only escaped be-
ing battered down because Burnside
had but few cannon balls or shells.
Nevertheless, one of the latter, a 20
FOUNDER, crashed through the walls,
and several smaller ones marked it
in different places. The side next
Fort Sanders is dented and fiecked,
and spotted with hundreds of bullet
marks. Several musket balls may he
seen partially embedded i'm the win
dowsills and frames. Iu the parlor
stands a large piano, exactly where il
stood during the fight. Two balls
came through the window and lodged
In the wood of the instrument, where
they are yet visible. The tones of
the piano are still as beautiful as
though the casing did not contain
those grim evidences of u day when
no music was heard save that awful
Kind which accompanies upon the
field of battle the messengers of
death. In the tower there is more
frightful trace of the fray. The tow
er Is perhaps six feet square, with
three long and very narrow windows.
Among the enemy's sharpshooters,
when they held the house, was a
young South Carolinian, who, with
several others, occupied the tower.
Peeping from one of the windows, a
bullet, which must have come three
quarters of n mile, crushed into his
brain and passed entirely through
his head. The blood poured out in
two sanguinary streams, rs his COM
rades dragged him below and from
the spot where he fell to the very
bottom of the stairs, the two streams,
now running parallel, now momen.
tarily coinciding, and, anon, crossing
each other, are still distinctly visible.
The round hole i'm the glass through
which the bullet penetrated is also
seen. Colonel Armstrongshas pre-
served, go far IA possible. the traces
of the conflict about his house. 1t is
true, several vigorous efforts have
been made to wash away the blood,
but it had been too thoroughly soaked
into the wood before Colonel Arm
strong's family returned to the resi-
dence. and now 1t will remain there
as long as the mansion endures, a
fearful reminder of the consequences
of war.

Gen. Grant and Speech
MaIkfnsr

Making.
General Grant does not make
speeches, and some consider oratory
Indispensable to craftsmanship. But
demand entirely different qualities.
One requires the powers to persuade,
the other the power to rule. The
builder of sentences Is often far
other than the builder of States. A
man may for years attack and defend
various public measures with vast
learning and dexterity; he will over
flow with language i'm showing show
not To do it," but is bumb when COM
PEELED TO achieve an immediate, wise,
and possible result.
Men of executive power, in all
countries have often been preferred
by the people TO brilliant writers and
speakers. Washington, Jackson,
Taylor, and Harrison were neither of
them orators; but their contempora-
ries and rivals were among the most
eloquent men Of whom America can
boast. at Is the nature of party in
England" says Lord John Russell.
ito ask the assistance of men of ge-
MUS, but to follow the guidance of
men of character Caress literary
men and philosophers" said Napole-
on; "but do not take them into your
cOuusels."
But General Grant acts eloquence /;
the brave words of other men he puts
into deeds; what orators splendidly
say, he silently does. "Speech Is
silver" says the proverb; but silence
is golden" More public men have
been injured by the fatal faculty of
fiuency than by v0iceless action.
The highway of political life is mark
ed by the graves of eminent men
whose epitaph might be written,
"Died of Speech or "Killed by
writing letter. ."-I'heips' Life Q,
