Remains of Indian Mounds Discovered in
Alabama.

Alabama.
Professor N. Il. Lupton, of the Southern
University, Greenboro', Ala, at the request
of Professor Henry, Secretary of the
Smithsonian Institution, has recently made
an examination of some of the most interest
ing Indian mounds in Alabama. These
mounds, he says are found at frequent inter-
walls for a hundred miles or more along the
river. Near the small village of Carthage
is collection of more than 20. These are
trauncated, rectangular pyramids, averaging
about 20 feet in height. AS the field has
been cultivated for many years, some of
them have been ploughed down nearly to the
common level, while one towers over 40
feet, and is covered with luxurious growth
of forest trees one of which measures nearly
three feet in diameter. One of these mounds
Professor Lupton opened, by digging we'll
eight feet square into it perpendicularly
from the top. At depth of three feet, por-
tions of two skeletons were found, with their
heads towards the east. The teeth only
were in good state of preservation; the re-
manning bones nearly all orumbled on being
handled. At the depth of about eight feet
the remains of three or more skeletons were
found similar to the first.
The bottom portion of vase was here
found, which, on being removed, disclosed q
circular opening about one foot in diameter,
around Ule Sizes OF WHICH were LQe cnarreQ
remains of wood, showing that stake or
wooden pillar once occupied this opening.
About foot from the bottom of this open
ing, at the depth of 16 feet from the surface,
the remains of several skeletons were discov-
cred, with the teeth and some other bones in
a fine state of preservation. A large quantity
of ashes and some charcoal, with one piece of
charred bone, were found around this OPEN
ing. Only a few stone implements were
found-what appeared to be beads crumbled
to powder when handled. Mussel shells were
occasionally met with while digging, also
charcoal, pieces of mica, and pottery The
fact was clearly established that this is a
burial mound and the conclusion is drawn
that stake or pillar was originally planted
over the grave of several personages of dis
tinction and victims burned thereat. A sim
gularly carved ornament of wood was OBJ
tanned, which is supposed to have formed the
top of the stake. 1t is apparently covered
with paint, which accounts for its preserva-
ton.

New York CIRCUS. On Thursday
next Lent's celebrated troupe from the
Fourteenth street circus, in New York,
is to visit Elizabeth, and it is we'll
known that the entertainments given
by this company are far superior to
those of the ordinary travelling circuses,
it will doubtless attract OVERLOOKING au-
diences both afternoon and evening.
The New York circus holds the same
position here that the Cirque Napoleon
and the Cirque de rImperatrice occupy
in Paris, and its performances always
attract audiences OF the most fashiona-
BILE character. The great popularity
which the establishment enjoys in New
York is due no less to the scrupulous
care which is exercised to render the
entertainments unobjectionable in
point of novelty and good taste. than
to the fact that they are the best the
kind ever seen in this country.
