The Athens Mound.

The Athens (Tenn.) Messenger gives
the following particulars concerning
the ancient mound recently opened
near that place:
Mr.. Lindley has brought to our office
another lot of bones, taken from the
same mound, among which were two
parts of skulls and one perfect skull.
This latter, or perfect skull, which is
in an excellent state of preservation,
has been examined by some of our
leading physicians, and pronounced
as being radically different, in its gen
eral formation, from any known
species ever examined by them. 1t is
very evidently not that of an Indian /;
and the oldest known Indian tradi-
lions can give no account whatever of
these mounds, which were as much a
sealed mystery to them as they are to
Us. From the shape of these skulls,
according to all accepted theories in
such matters, they belonged to an ex-
eeedingly blOOdthirsty and Warlike
people. With these bones were found
a large quantity of beads, in 4 perfect
state, which were made from a mate
rial strongly resembling ivory, and
which, when broken, exhibited an
inside composed of some brilliant,
g~littering material-like pOrphyry, for
instance. Just precisely what these
beads are, we confess u inability to
determine. There is also a closely
sealed, massive stone vault in this
mound, which Mr.. Lindley intended
blowing open last Saturday, but did
not do so. This vault has evidently
been closed with great care, and every
p%recautiOn taken to render it inviOla-
bic. Another remarkable curiosity
brought to light by these excavations
is a live frog, which was found Sc
curely imbedded in hard clay. When
first taken out it appeared ~lifeless, its
being pressed deeply into its
body; but on the legs being " picked
OUT" as Mr.. Lindley says, the frogs
throat began to swell until it reached
an enormous size, when it emitted
something like a loud, lOng-repressed
groan, and commenced hopping about
as lively as a cricket. This frog was
just as smooth as the surface of the
itself, having none of those warts
or prOtuberances always to be found
on these full-blOwn tadpOles, and Just
how long his frOgship has been luxu-
in his bed of clay al only be

Talent and Tact.

Talent is serious, grave, sober and
respectable. Tact is all that and
more too. 1t is not distinctly a sixtb
sense, but the life of all five. It is the
open eye, the quick ear, the Judging
taste, the keen smell, the lively touch
1t is the interpreter of all riddles. and
the remover of every obstacle. and
shows a man his way in the workf.-
Talent is power; tact is skill. Talent
IS weight; tact is momentum. Talent
is wealth, while tact is ready n
For all practical purposes, tact carries
1t against talent ten to one. Take
them to the theater; one will produce
a play that will fall dead upon its first
representation; the other will keep
house full every night. One makes
the world wonder that il moves no
faster; the other excites astOnishment
that it moves so fast. Take themintO
the church; talent cOnVinees. tact con-
verts. Take them to court; talent
feels its way, tact finds its way. Tar
ents command: tact is Obeyed. Talent
has the ears of the house; tact winsits
hearts and votes. Talent is a fine
thing to talk about, but tact is the tall
ent of talents; the eye of discFimina~
ton; the right hand of intellect.

Good Yarn.

OnAe upon a time there lived among
the hills of an adjoining county an old
gentleman, whose entire personal and
real estate consisted of a wife, a we'll
ventilated log cabin, half an acre of
not very productive land, and a vio-
lent fOndness for what is sometimes
called ~tangle-leg" whisky" One
spring morning the owner of all this
property was struck with the convic-
ton that his land must be ploWed.
But he had no horse, and found it i'm
possible to borrow one. Nevertheless,
theArOund must 'be broke up" horse
or no horse, and it was finally deter
mined that the I" old woman" should
hitch up the old man, and hold the
handles and drive, while he drew the
pillow. This was accordingly done, and
the ploW Weat bravely ON, until the
ploWShare ran under a root, and the
team was brOaght to a dead halt. But
the g critter" had become warmed up
by this time, and as the old lady gave
him a rap with the reins and cried
A." git up there!7 he threw his weight
upon the harness with a heavy Jerk,
which snapped the traces short of, and
he shot forward against the fence, his
head striking the end Of a rail with
the force of a maui. "ThunderatiOn,
old woman" he exclaimed, as he
wiped the blood and dirt from his
eyes, " why ia the devil didn't you
say U-h-O-G ?'i

L. Consult Tom, Dick and Harry in
matters of business, and then follow,
not the best, but the last advice given.
2. Instead of marching straight over
trouble with a firm front, crouch and
let it march over you.
3. Have no mind of your own, no
self-relisnce. Be as unstable and shift
ing as the sea shore.
4.Jn you are knocked down to-day,
conclude that your place is on your
back tomorrow and next day, and 50
on.
5.tR.Keuse it rains to-day and is dis
NAL, hike up your mind that it is
going to be rainy and dismal always.
6. Never look among your clouds
for silver Innings, for riffs through to
the blue sky and sunshine beyond.
7. Follow these directions closely,
and faiidre will track your steps like
a blood hound; in adversely you will
be as wdsthless as an old rotten sheet

Editing a Paper.

The following was found in the Office
of an editor by a country sheriff:
Editing a paper is a very pleasant
thing. If it contains too much pOliti-
cal matter, people won't have it; if
it contains too little, they won't have
it; if the type is too large, it don't
contain enough reading matter; if
the type is too small they can't read
it; if we publish telegraph reports,
folks say they are nothing but lies; if
we omit them, they say we have no
enterprise, or suppress them for pOlit-
zeal effect; if we have in a few Jokes,
folks say we are nothing but a rattle
head; if we omit jokes, they say we
are old fossil; if we publish original
matter, they damn us for not giving
them original selections; if we pub
fish original selections, folks say we
are lazy for not giving them what
they have not read in some other pa
per; if we give a man complimentary
notices, we are censured for being par
tial; if we do not, all hands say we
are a great hog; if we insert an arti-
Gle which pleases the ladies, men be-
come jealous; if we do not cater to
their wishes, the paper is not fit to be
in their houses; if we attend church,
they say it is only for effect; if we do
not, they denOQnce us as deceitful and
desperately wicked; if we speak well
of any act, folks say that we dare not
do otherwise; If we censure, they
call US a traitor; if we remain in our
Office and attend to business, folks say
we are too proud to mingle with u
fellows.

GOVERNOR PALMER, Of Illinois,
having been appointed one of the
Vice-Presidents of the Cuban Charit-
able Aid Society, has declined in a
letter wholly without sympathy with
the cause and Indicative of a positive
antagonism to Cuban success. To this
Cassius NJ. Clay (whese charities have
always began away from home and
never reached there, and who has uni
formly ignored superior claims on
philanthropy in proportion to its vi
cinity to its proper objects), responds
as follows:
New YORK, April 1, 1870.
DEAR SIR: Your letter of the 10th
of March alt, is received. regard it
as an evidence of the growing pOpu-
larity of our cause, that you feel the
necessity Of indicating, by an appeal
to the public, your refusal to act as
Vice President of the Cuban Charita-
BILE Aid Society. | cannot admit the
force of your distinction between the
duties of Governors sand private citi-
zens here; for if a Governor would be
wrong in aiding an oppressed people
TO recover their right of selfgOvern-
ment, then all Of US are wrong in do
ing so. If you are right in assuming
that we cannot aid the Cubans because
err Government sis at peace with
spain, then, as we are at peace with
al nations and peoples, there is
nowhere on the earth and
injustice and tyranny which you could
aid in o~yerthrowing, and France and
other European countries and subjects
did wrong in aiding our fathers in
1915, against British oppression, which
was paternal and beneticent compared
with the tyranny of Spain over Cuba.
On the contrary, l hold that every
honest man, the world over, owes
every other man his moral support,
and pecuniary aid and physical aid so
far as may be consistent with his own
self-preserYation, against every
wrong of the aggressor. This repub-
lie is no disturber of the peace of ma
tiOnS or intrusive prOpagandist
of its principles. But when an
oppressed people rise in arms
to vindicate the very foundation
principles OF our government, fOlloW-
ing the benefcent example which We
have set them, it is not only right
but duty to refrain from aiding
and abetting their enemies, but also
to give them our cordial sympathy
and support, in all legal ways. That
we intend to violate no claws of Con-
gress," we have pledged ourselves in
the circular which we made a
part of our invitation, and you
VIII find it hard to make
the American people believe that
we are not the men who
will stand truly to our pledges. The
conclusion of your letter leaves US to
that you will yet put the nObler
sentiment of of your letter in unison
with our cause, which begins to be the
cause of the whole people without re-
gard to party, and which, represent
ing eternal right, must, under Provi-
.ence of God, at last triumph. l am,
sir, your obedient servant,
G. MELAY, President, etc.

ernOr of Illinois.

The Last of the NapOIeOniC Brides.

AFrench paper says that the widow
of Philippe Jacques Wilhelm, late of
the eighty-eighth regiment ofthe line,
and shoemaker, has just died at Stras-
bourg, at the ripe old age of eighty
four. When Napoleon l married the
Archduchess Marie Louise he issueda
decree, in his own military and abso-
lutte fashion, that six thousand soldiers
who had earned half pay should be
married TO girls in their respective
communes, and he fixed the dOWery of
the yOungAdies at twelve hundred
francs in H&fis and six hundred francs
elsewhere. At StrasbOurg ten of
these marriages took place; all of the
authorities were present, the newly
married couples were invited to the
theater, and gloves, bouquets and car
riages we're furnished by the munich
pality. In the evening there was a
banquet, at which the Emperor and
his new Austrian toasted. OF the ten
girls married on April %, 1919, widow
Wilhelm was the last survivor. Ma
poleon had a wonderful taste for
making marriages, and at one time
he conceived the idea of taking every
heireSs in the country for the most
distinguished officers, which would
have been an economical way of rec
ompensing gallantry.

A Bell for the Pope.

A work of art, the present of a priest
of Rimini, Don Mariana Matteini, is
the most remarkable of any yet re-
eeived by His Holiness, consisting in
a bell, designed and executed by HIM
self, for the Pope to make use of at the
Ecumenical Council. The substance
is brOnze gilt, and the decorations
which enrich it are abusive to the
Council. The handle is formed by a
kneeling angel bearing a crOss-the
Papal cross and PastOral-the Pope's
arms, the tiara and key, the Immac.
ulate Conception is on the bell itself,
surrounded by five doves bearing olive
branches. The hammer is the mystic
barque of st. Peter, with a o re-
versed for a mast, and a smaller cross
for helm, while a serpent tries in vain
to enter into the sacred craft. The
following inscriptions are i-nterspersed
on tho festoOns which divide the Orna-
ments: "InvOcata - Immaculata.D
"Mundus crebris-tOt tenebris, y ssPius
NOnus-PastOr bonus" 'sImplicatu+
Obcecatus," Per concilium-Fert

The Indian warrior Tecumseh,
Shawnee Chief himself, and warriors,
attached themselves to the cause of
Great Britain on the declaration of the
American war of 1912. By one of
General Brooks aids-de-camp he is
described in appearance as progresses

toned; from thirty-five to forty years
of age; his hight five feet nine
inches; his complexion a light cop
per; his c-ountenance oval, with light
hazel eyes, becoming c~heerfulness,
energy and decision; his dress in
Council of Peace was a nfat uniform
of tanned deer skin jacket, with long
trOwsers of the same Material, the
seams of both being lowered with
neatly cut fringe; on hiy feet mecca
sins, much ornamental with dyed
quilts Of the %pOrcupines and beads.
