cured the help of some half dozen men, Pro-
fessor Scott Immediately directed his course
towards the south, where a bastard canon
starts out from one of the Uintah spurs. For
tunatey he had with him a half-breed who
could converse with the Shoshonees, who
range all through that section, and through
the interpreter he learned from Wa-pa-on-ta
(Stag), a sub-chief of the Shoshonees, that
about fifteen miles from Evanston
was mound of extraordinary dimensions
The Professor Immediately repaired to
the place, and to his great qualification, dis
covered tumulus of as fair and positive pro-
portions as any described by Squire and
Davis He Immediately commenced the
work of excavation, and in three days had the
inexpressible pleasure of laying bare what
was certainly vault. He found a cavity
about eight feet long, three wide, and four
deep. Its bottom, sides, and ends were made
of triangular shaped stones, evidently quarried
from the red granite of the Wahsatch range.
There was no top or covering to the vault,
but, from the nature and color of the earth
Immediately over it, the professor
thinks that an arch of burnt clay had been
used. With the exception of some unim-
portant pieces of obsidian. evidently having
been used for lapdary purposes, Profess or
Scott brought away everything found in the
vault But one skeleton was found. which,
on exposure, immediately crumbled into dust:
it appeared to indicate that of a man not over
five feet ten inches. The bones Law east and
west-the skull east At the foot. and appa-
rently between the feet was found an ordi-
nary-shaped earthen pot, with capacity per-
haps of half gallon, cone shaped. and with
out any mark or engraving on it, Along the
left side lay an iron bracelet with n spring
clasp, perfectly preserved. On each side of
the skull were two medicine stones-shaped
like a cigar, full of holes, and of half-pound
weight. The stones were very similar to
Tennessee marble, OF Scotch granite. On the
right side of the skeleton the professor found
a silver plate, about the size and exactly the
shape of an artists pallet. No mark whatever
was distinguishable on this piece, but it is of
the purest silver, 1t may have been used as
a shield, though the professor inclines to the
belief that it was n charm, and that the
skeleton was that of some medicine man or
priest. The value to science of this discovery
of Professor Scott, we are glad to say, does
not consist in the supposed antiquity of the
articles exhumed. Other and more positive
evidence corrUborates his impression that
the vault he laid bare is of more than 1900
years existence. This excavation to be
speedily followed by others under the direc-
ton Of the Smithsonian Institute, we feel
confident will establish the fact that the
mound-builders crossed the Missouri river,
and, passing over the plains of the great
West, tOund-a portion of them-their way
into Central America via the Gulf of Cali
fornia Professor Scott left last night for
his home in Kentucky, and we shall anxousy
look for his report of these discoveries.

Another Important DiscOvery---Traccs of the
MOund-buildcrs in Utah,
From the Omaha Herald.
About six weeks ago, our old and esteemed
friend and former professor, Henry L.. Scott,
LID, of Georgetown, KY, passed through
Omaha on a scientific tour. One of his let
ters to the Manchester England Chronicle
is, perhaps, the only attempted analyzation
and description of the now celebrated Obsidian
beds of the middle and north parks of
Colorado For the first time, on the
appearance of that letter, we learned
what a mossagate was-that it was sim
ply piece of glass made through the fusion
Of sand and pyrites by volcanic action.
Having thoroughly explored that section, and
having acquired many valuable additions to
science. which will shortly be described in the
Smithsonian reports, Professor Scott en-
tered Utah for the purpose of furthering, if
possible, the discoveries Of Squire and Davis
in reference to the existence of a superior race
of people on this continent long before the ad-
vent Of the present aboriginal inhabitants.
The report Of the investigations of Squire
and Davis was not brought down later than
1876 and only embraced the country living
between-I1s.the great lakes and the Gulf
of Mexico. Professor Scott, like every
scholar, accepted as true the evidence
produced by these gentlemen, but at the
same time felt confident in his own mind that
the people who had genius and skill enough to
erect the vast mounds of Newark and Little
Miami, Ohio and the elaborate and skilful
defenses in and about Kaholla, Illinois, were
certainly competent to find another route to
Mexico and Central America than down the
valley Of tho Mississippi, Acting upon this
impression, he early communicated with us
and others in reference to the probable exist
ence of traces of the march of these people to
the Gulf of California. Fortunately, we were
| enabled to offerhim encouragement, and on the

from az Occasional Correspondent
ATLANTIC Cry, Aug. 12
The cool sea breezes which have swept over
this HCity by the Sea the past week have
been delightful TO those who were fortunate
enough to be here; but this week is all that
the most fastidious could ask for The wea-
ther is charming and the bathing is pro-
nounced by all tue best Of the season. Phila-
delphia is well represented here this summer
and certainly those who have come here in
preference to going elsewhere have no occa-
sion to regret their choice.
The festive gatherings are not to stop be-
cause the Fire Iouaves have returned to Phi
ladelphia. Tomorrow evening there is to be
a childrens carnival and b0l ntdSgUc at the
United States Hotel, and everything is being
done to make it grand success. OF course,
all the little folks that can trip the light fan
tastic toe will be there to do their best, while
the older folks will look smilingly on. The
children seem fully alive to the fact that when
the few weeks of hot weather yet to come are
gone, there is to be no more sea-bathing,
hops, and good times generally until next
summers and how far off that seems to young
people, who know as yet but few or
none of the cares and trials Of life! But
will not stop to moralize here. This chill
dren's carnival is to be followed by grand
bal m0SqUe on Monday evening next, at the
Surf House. The proprietor of the hotel,
Mr.. Thomas Farley, is too we'll and favorably
known in Philadelphia to need any praise
F1a ,1,,,, e Ia.
season attests his popularity here. Mr.. A. r..
Vanhorn, of Philadelphia, is here with the
finest assortment of fancy costumes your
correspondent ever saw. and as
these two masquerades are to excel
anything that has come off this season, it is
fair to presume his costumes will be in great
demand. A novel and pretty feature on
Monday evening will be gypsy tent, with a
goodly number of gipses, who will tell for
tunes and do other marvellous things. Cards
of invitation will be issued to all the guests
of the Surf House, and no doubt the Satur-
day afternoon trains will bring hundreds of
people from Philadelphia, who will improve
this opportunity to spend the Sabbath at the
seaside, enjoy the sea breezes and bathing on
Monday, and be on hand for the ball in the
evening.
l forgot to mention that General McCand-
less will be floor manager aided by a number
of gentlemen who have experience in such
affairs.
The railroad company appear to give very
general satisfaction with their arrangement
of trains. The 3'15 p. NJ. train is run through
in l. hours, and always comes well loaded,
