1t was the morning after Mrs Governs
funeral, and | was sitting in our pleasant
study, basking, as inyalids love to do, in the
morning sunshine, Leaning at the window,
in her old attitude, stood Pennie-looking
out upon her cherished flowers, bat seeing lit
tie Of their beauty. Scot was sitting at his
table, his head upon his hand. Whether il
was the long, vain watching for Walter, OF
the sleepless nights and hard days work, or
the old hidden grief | did not know, but
certainly his face was white aud haggard as
| had never seen il before. Suddenly he
looked across at me with his own brave smile
"Come, Charlie, we have been idle too
long, dear fellow"
I had risen, and was sauntering towards
him, when the door was opened and familiar
face looked in upon US.
Pennie, Pennie, darling Fancy never
coming to meet mel" Walter cried, throwing
down his hat, aud coming forward, grand and
handsome in the glowing sunshine. "Pennie,
darling, here | am." And he was close be-
side her, his arms open to receive her.
She gave one look into his face, so swim
that she only seemed to have moved her eyes
from the garden into the room.
Where are you going Scott" she said.
/" Please don't 60 away. This is your room,
not ours. am going myself when have
spoken to you and Walter"

A Cave of Skeletons Unearthed Near
Eagle Point, Iowa.

For months past the papers of the
Northwest have been filled with marvellous
accounts of the discovery here and there of
various relics, supposed to have been man
ufactured by a people who have passed
away and left behind no written history.
These relics, consisting OF skeletons, house
hold utensils, arms, agricultural imple
ments, pieces of pottery, &c, have in the
main been preserved with religious care
by the heads of the various scientific in
stitutions to which they have been consign-
ed, but as yet no satisfactory or even plausi-
BILE hypothesis has been advanced concern
ing their origin. This is problem
before which the stoutest professors quail
and acknowledge their weakness, and it
is therefore probable that the great mys-
terry will never be solved.
On Saturday last a discovery full as
wonderful as any yet reported in the
Northwest was made by the workmen on
the Dubuque & Minnesota Railroad, near
the base of one of the tall, frowning
bluffs overlooking the river, short dis
tance above Eagle Point At the foot of
this bluff squad of workmen were en-
gagged in excavating in the loose stratefied
limestone rock for the railroad track, and
while digging away with pick, spade and
crowbar, in the side of the bank, they sud
denly found their further progress arrested
by large smooth square stone on the outer
surface of which was inscribed anumber of
strange characters and devices, which none
of the unlettered workmen of course could
make out Under the instruction of the
foreman, and by the united exertion of a
npniber Of men, the stgre was removed,
tghen, to their great sstosishment, there

A London dispatch of the 4th says it
was known in the highest German circles
that desperate efforts to reduce Paris were
being made The Paris correspondent of
the London Times of the 5th thought that
further resistance by Paris would be brief,
and that food will fail before the end of
the present month.
Garibaldi was at Diion on the 4th.
The London Times of the 5th has an
article on the Alabama claims question, in

Paris commenced at o'clock a. M. on that
day.
A great battle is reported to have oc-

gained by either party. The loss on the
part of the Prussians was very heavy, and
the French troops showed remarkable
spirit and daring. 1t is also reported that
the Prussians, on the morning of the 4th,
surprised and dispersed the French force
on the left bank of the Seine, near Rouen,
capturing three stands of colors, two can
non, and 45O prisoners.
A London dispatch of the Sth says the
casemates of Forts Issy and Vanvres were
battered down after fight of eight hours
duration. Private advices from Versailles
to the 9th inst. state that the general bonn
bardment of the forts southeast and north
was furious, and notwithstanding the
slaughter caused by the French fire they
would be silenced before Sunday
O'Donovan Rosa and other Fenians were
released on the 7th, and left for New York
per steamer Cuba. They were taken on
board under guard, who refused to allow
them to have communication with any
body. The British Government, it is said,
pays their expenses to the United States.
A sDecial to the New York World from
London on the 7th, says the London Con-
ference had been postponed, probably
until after the fall of Paris.

Which his name it was w. Nye.
He came down to the Ford
On the very same day
vi that Lottery, drawed
By those sharps at the Bay;
And he says to me, s. Truthful, how goes it?"
replied, "It is far, far, from gay
s'For the camp has gone wild
On this Lottery game,
And has even beguiled

Which said Nye to me, Injins is pizen-

And he says: : You mistake; this poor Injin

And 1t seemed that the end
Would not justify the proceedings,
As quiet remarked to friend
For that Injin he fled
The next day to his band;
And we found William spread
Very loose on the strand,
With PEACEFUL like smile on his features,
And dollar greenback in his hand.
Which, the same when rolled out,
We observed with surprise,
What that Injn. do doubt,
Had believed was the prize
Them figures in red in the corner,
Which the number of notes specifies
Was it guile, or dream?

Or is visions abouts
Is our civilization a failure?
Or is the Caucasian played out?

are due to your heroism and perseverance,
and to the bravery of the soldiers. Our

make or mar their fortunes. The Professor
said, with that impressive solemnity which
always marked his manner: Gentlemen, /
understand you to say that this property is
situated upon hilltop, consequently the
situation is prominent. 1t is valuable
immensely valuable-though as a coal
mine am obliged TO observe that it is a
failure. Fence it, gentlemen, fence it in,
and hold it through good and evil fortune,
till the Last Day; am convinced that it
will be the best point from which to view
the sublime spectacle of final connagration.

shall remain uniniured after that awful fre,
