Wonderful Discovery.

The work of excavating q foundation for
n pier for the Mississippi bridge at
st. Louis has led to discoveries that are full
of promise to archaeological inquirers after
truth, A heavy blast set among the rock,
on Saturday evening" revealed q subter
ranean passage that passes under the river
to the Illinois shore, with numerous lateral
branches. The main passage is about
twenty feet high by fifteen broad, and is sys-
tematicaHy arched over head, part of the
way being cut through solid rock and pre-
senting evidences of substantial masonry.
The bottom was much worn as if by earri-
age or chariot wheels One of the lateral
passages leads to a large chamber supported
by leaning pillars Of solid rock In the
walls were inches closed with nicely fitting
slabs bearing inscriptions IN Runic charac.
ters not unlike those from the mines at
Nenevah. Between the inches are pilisters
with draped Assyrian or Egyptian heads,
wrought with skill and awe-inspiring effect
a hall from this chamber communicated
with another, after a descent by flight of
forty-one steps, This last chamber is oval
in shape; It's walls being sculptured IN mag
nifcent bas relief and Runic inscriptions.
One of the groups of character is believed
to represent Ahasheurus crowning Queen
Elizabeth, and another that of Luke Deu-
teronomy going into captivity. The entire
discovery speaks of period at least forty
four centuries before the advent-of Christ

The Trip of the First Locomotive.

Maj Horatio Allen, the engineer of the
New York and Erie railroad gives the fol-
lowing account of the first trip made by
locomotive on this continents; v.
"When was it? Who was it? And who
swkened its energies and directed its move
ments2 1t was in the year 1928, on the
banks of the Lackawaxen, at the commence
ment of the railroads connecting the canal
of the Delaware and Hudson Canal compa
ny with their coal mines, and he who ad
dresses you was the only person on the loco
motive. The circumstances which led to
my being alone on the road were these /:
The road had been built in the summer the
structure was of hemlock timber and the
rails, of large dimensions, notched on caps
placed far apart The timber had cracked
and warped with exposure to the sun. At
ter about three hundred feet Of straight line,
the road crossed the Lackawaxen creek on
trestle-work about 80 feet high, with a curve
of 355 to 400 radius. The impression was
very general that the iron monster would ell
ther break down the road, or it would leave
the track at the curve, and plunge into the
creek. NV reply to such apprehensions was
too late to consider the probabilities of such
occurrences there was no other course than
to make a trial of the strange animal which
had been brought here at a great expense,
but that it was not ne eessary that more than
one should be involved in its fate; that
would take the first ride alone, and the time
would come when should look back to the
incident with great pleasure As placed
my hand on the throttleyalve handle, 1 was
undecided whether to move slowly, or with
fair degree of speed; but, believing that
the road would prove safe, and preferring;
if we did 60 down, to go handsomely, and
without any evidence of timidtv, started
with considerable velocity, passed the curve
over the creek safely. and was soon out of
hearing of the vast assemblage. At the end
of twoIor three miles, reversed the valve,
and returned without accident, having made
the first railroad tEip in the western hemis-
pbero. rs

GREAT REMEDIES!
DR.. JOHN BULL
Manufacture and vsnder Of the celebrated
Smiths Tonic Syrup /!
FOR THE CURE OF
AGUE and FEVER
AGUE and FEVER
Chills and Fever.

The proprietor of this celebrated medi-
cine justly claims for it superiority over
all remedies ever offered to the public for
the safe, certain, speedy, and permanent
cure of Ague and Fever or Chills and Fever,
whether of short or long standing. He re-
fers to the entire Western and Southwest
ern country to bear him testimony to the
truth of the assertion, that in no case what
ever will it fail to cure, if the directions are
strictly followed and carried out In a
great many cases a single dose has been suf-
ficient for cure, and whole families have
been cured by a single bottle, with perfect
restoration of the general health. 1t is,
however prudent, and in every case more
certain to cure, if its use is continued in
smaller doses for a week or two after the
disease has been checked, more especially in
difficult and long standing cases. Usually,
this medicine will not require any aid to
keep the bowels in good order should the
patient however, require cathartic medicine,
after having taken three or four doses of the
Tonic, single dose of BULLS VEGETA-
BILE FAMILY PILLS will be sufficient.
