VIA LONDON, September !, 1890 A. N.
The King OF Prussia has sent the following
dispatch to The Queen:
.'vARENNEs, August so.
1.-THE Crown Prince has been in action with
the 4th, 18th and 18th corps, and the l4th (Ba-
varlan) corps. McMahon was beaten and
driven beyond the Meuse. Twelve guns, some
thousand prisoners and material OF war were

Hunting Down aIcMahon-Movemen Is
OF the Prussian Armies.
LONDON, August 81.
The Prussians, conceiving that McMahon's
aim was to gain the frontier and effect juno
ton with Bazaine, they advanced on three
lines. The Crown Prince marched via Com
mercy, Barbecue, st. Dlzier and Vitry. The
Fourth Army, under the Prince Royal OF
Saxony, keeping north Of Pont-a-Mousson,
moved towards Chalons, at the same
time observing Metz, while Steinmetz. re-
inforced, proceeded through Verdun TO
Rheims, his right sweeping the Belgian
frontier, in hope Of meeting Mcmahon. The
German advance thus covered the country
from Belgium, along the Meuse, to Aube, and
rendered it impossible for Mcmahon to reach
Metz.
a dispatch from Carignan says that cannon
aiding was heard south Of that place all day
yesterday and late tonight. The result was
unknown.
The Emperor has certainly left Carignan for
Sedan. Carignan is few miles northeast OF
Beaumont.

BERLIN, August 81.
the National Gazette has the following !:
"The neutral powers are corresponding ac-
tiyely on the result so far reached. Each
power must keep the others advised Of its
movements. It Is evident that Intervention
is contemplated, although the Prusslans re-
gard the movement as too late. This intentio n
of Intervention is announced almost ofrensively
from Vienna and Florence. Prussia objects en-
phatlcally to the course of Italy. Italy is
threatened with complications requiring that
she be forced to fight or accept great sacrlf-
ces. Rather than let the neutral powers profit
by our troubles, all the powers of Europe shall
not stop us half way In war of self-preserva-
ton. England also has broached an intention
to Intervene, but never meant an armed in
tervention. The interests of Europe demand
the cessation Of all such attempts"

treated by her reckless and abandoned
husband, there is but one universal feel

For her consort, royal though he be, the
universal feeling is one of undistin-

Have you laid the Tines asidei
Thinking that yon knew the soundings
Oftho spiri mighty tide,
That you've found the secret chamber
Where the pleasant memories throng,
Or the darkensd shadow gath'ring
Almost hush the voice Of song!
But those pleasant, cheering pictures,
Are but bubbles on the stream,
Where rsaectedrays of sunlight
For moment CHANGED to CLEAN.
They were eshoos Of the voices
That within the spirit seek,

Unto ether hearts to spesk.
You have only seen the shadow,
Seen the glowing sunshihe fade. Il
When the chilling baud ef sorrow
Is upon the heart-strinEs laid,

When the soul is full OF thought,
Whom upon the waves Of feeling
Bitter memories are brought.

Wonderful Discoyery...Skeletohs Of o
Giant Race Found Near Potosi,
From The Dubuque Times

From The Dubuque Times, sth,
The evidence appears to be pretty well
settled that this whole Western country
was once inhabited by race of beings of
gigantic stature, who were not only hard
working, industrious fellows, but we'll up
in many Of the fine arts. What their
laws, institutions and code of morals con-
sisted of, we shall probably never know,
as printing presses and interviewing re-
porters were scarce in those days, but
from the numerous mounds scattered over
the country, which the learned savans tell
Us were the work Of their hands, it is
quite easy TO assume that they were heavy
on the dig and took much delight in
welding the spade and shovel. They
would be useful fellows to have in these
days of railroads and canals, ard it is to
be regretted that the race died out before
the present system of internal improve.
ments commenced.
From time to time the skeletons Of an
unknown race have been discovered in the
different mounds mentioned, up and down
the Mississippi river, the last discovery of
the kind being made near Potosi, Wis.,, u
little over week ago. A young man by
the name Of Patterson, brother.in. law to
S. NJ. Lang~orthy, Esq, of this city, was
engaged with number of men in digging
out for the foundation of saw mill, near
the bank Of the river. In digging out
this, 1T became necessary to remove one Of
these ancient mounds or tumuls. The
workmen had descended to the depth of
about seven feet, when they uncarthsd
two human skeletons, the bones of which
were almost entire, and in good state Of
preservation. Upon taking them out. an
accurate measurement was made Of the
skeletons, when one of them was found to
be seren and Aa.f. feet, and the other
eight feet 1" length. The jaws of each
were filled with double rows of teeth,
while the cheek bones were very high and
prominent. Under the bones largs
collection of arrow heads and strange TOYS
were found, which had evidently been
buried with them.
Strange to state, the workmcn, instead
OF preserving these bones, carted them of
into the road, and it is feared that the
great majority are now wasted. 1t IL
highly probable that other skeletons exist
in that vicinity.
MIR. Langworthy, we understand, viii
soon visit that locality for the purpose Of
preserving the skeletons already found.
and pushing further and more persistent
search for fresh discoveries.

Messrs. Andrick 4 R.cAardson-G Gents !:
Since the 9th of last October have re.
ceiv"d your paper only three times. ! am
satisfied the trouble is at this post Office.
l would like very much to get the TINES
regularly so as to hear what is going on in
that part cf the country where l have
spent twelve years my time. hope it
will not be trespassing on your time to
give you few items respecting some Of
our old friends in this city.
You are aware, that MIR. w. B. Strong
retains his position as General Manager at
this end of the c. & N. W. Railroad.
This Company snew the value Of Mr..
Strong's service too well to let him 20.
Mr.. Strong is an honest, faithful and ca
pablc man; he is well-known to the peo-
pie of this western con try rs a man Of
sterling good qualities, integrity, exalted
character, and a first-class Rail Road man;
he holds a in the esteem Of the pco-
pie of this part Of Iowa and Nebraska,
that any man might envy; fact, h isa
gentleman in every sense Of the word.
May he soon reach the pinnacle Of Rail
R,ad prominence.
You will to hear that your
friend, Mr.. George e. Stevens, was made
magnificent testimonial of worth, on the
evening Of the oath instant, by the employ
es Of the U. P. r. Il. car department.
The present consisted of $l,352 cash, to
gether with $3.50 gold watch this is
sufficient proof of the esteem in which
Mr.. Stevens is held by his men. Since he
took charge of these mammoth shops he
has completed for the U. p. r. r., several
coaches which not only compete with, but
excel many of eastern manufacture as to
workmanship, durability and ornamental
finish, the design Of the superb, Pacific
Pullman express and dining saloon coach
ss are not excelled on the American cont.
nent. l do not give you my own opinion
alone, hu' n testimony Of hundreds of
the best judges of this line Of work. For
instance: read the testimonials Of the
corps comprising the Chicago and Cincin-
natl Commercial Conventions, the Editori.
al and Congressional Committees. They,
e,ch in turn rendered cir thanks, by
u ,animousi resolution. And now do not
think that want to exalt MIR. STEVENS
when l say that he is one of the very best
Master Mechanics in the United States,
and for those who would deny that fact, !
would refer them to the above mentioned
Committees, and also an equal piece of
workmanship to the Pullman fast express
coaches of the U. P. r. r. For once
we find the right man in The right place.
As further testimony Of this fact, refer
tho reader to the magnificent donation
received from those who have the best
right to know, and that class Of men who
know best how to appreciate worthiness.
1t was strange that the Managers of the
Milwaukee and St. Paul Rail Road were
not alive enough to their own interests to
have seen those two men VIM. B. Strong
and Geo f. Stevens) in their true light
