CREAP POSTAGE-CHEAP TELE-
GRAPHING.

- . .
Along with q growing demand for
cheaper postage there is also q growing
desire for cheaper telegrams- Commu-
,nication by means of electricity is ekor-
bitantly expensive, SO that but very
few persons can afford to resort to it,
and even these few, do SO onlyIupon me-
cessity. There was time when letter
writing was q much 9nloreE expensive
mode of conveying intelligence than at
present, Postage was charged not ac-
cording to weight alone, but also accor-
ding to distance. From 1916 until 1S45,
If q person wrote to friend living at q
distance of 80 miles, or less, it cost him
81 cents to do SO, provided his letter
weighed under an ounce; Of his friend
lived at Substance OF moro than 80 miles
and less than 80, 2he paid s10D cents; if
over 50 miles and less than, l50,s he paid
12k cents, and If SoVef- $50 miles, khe
uniform price of % cents. But postal
reforms were made at ;9sFions times
until the present law was enacted fixing
the postage on, all letters, at three
cents for all distances under 5000 miles.
As rapidly as changes were made redu-
cling the postage twas found that the
revenue derived from letters increased
instead of diminfshed. And thus 1t is
stoutly maintained thatif . further re-
duction were made the receipts would
still'be larger, especially If along With
this rsdnStioh The present franking nui-
sance be- abolished. Whether this be
true or not-and England's postal sys-
tenn is pointed at to guarantysita truth
fulness.z # remains that = three cent
postage system is more profitable than
IS cent one. When a person had to
pay 26,centssip order to sepd q letter
nom Cincinnati to New York, there
was comparatively very little cores
pondence carried on. When the post
|Age vas reduoed toss cents the pumber
OF letters increased; probably, twenty

PRESIDENT GRANTS MESSAGE.

The Presidents Message in relation
TO San Domingo will raise him 100 per
cent. in the estimation of the American
people. His recommendations are most
opportune. His explanation of how he
became interested in the acquisition of
the island lie reasonably aud will sat
isfy all persons, except those who are
so hostile TO the administrations that
they can believe It capable of no posi-
BILE good, of the sincerity and honesty
of the Presidents motives. His sugges-
ton that no action be taken this session
upon the subject of annexation, but
that It's consideration be postponed I'M
til another session SO that the country
may calmly and carefully investi-
gate the facts relative to the desir-
ablehess, or otherwise, of annexa-
ton evinces q desire on his part to heal
over wounds that were too wantonly
made. 1t shows disposition that we
think it would have been wise to have
manifested long ago, viz to sacrifice Tin
order that the republican party may
rule and live,) for time, at least, the
success of q measure in whose behalf
his earnest efforts and mighty personal
influence have long been brought to
bear. We thank the President and con-
grAtslste the country. sfoaasa7
{ President Gfant has taken one long
step in the right direction. Shouldit be
followed by others equally wise, the
party win forget in great measure the
insult it received when, for personal
reasons alone, Mr.. Sumner was removed
from the Craftsmanship of the. Commit
Tee on Foreign Relations. In some re-
spects President Grants administration
has endeared itself to the American
peopleas no other has done. The peo-
pie love it because of its honesty and
frugality in the administration of the
public finances. The government
has been swindled in but few in
stances and in inconsiderable amounts
The public debt has been reduced
with such wonderful rapidity as to elic-
IL the admiration and establishment of
foreign nations as well as of its people.
And now, despite some errors of no tri-
fling Importance, the people are begin
ming to feel assured that harmony in the
republican party is being rapidly re-
gained, and that the old widespread
esteemzapd confidence in the3 adpinis-
tration are rapidly displacing dissatis-
faction, and disquietude that seemed
likely at on time to become perma-
nont. cf-I -.7BnGNA

IOWA RELICS OF AN ANCIENTRACE.
We clip the following interesting

We clip the following interesting
statements:
"Some workmen on the Dubuque and
Minnesota Railroad while engaged in
excavating for the road in the limestone
at the foot of bluff, came upon q fat
stone covered with strange characters.
This opened the way into q passage
about four feet wide and six feet high,
leading directly into the heart of the
bluff. At Distance of about fifty feet
from the entrance another stone, similar
to the first, had to be removed, when
q largo chamber revealed itself cut out OF
solid rock, about twenty-h feet square
and twenty feet high. The floor was
hard and smooth, while the walls and
roof were carved in a sort ofrude bdsSO
relieUO with figures of birds, trees, stars,
serpents, and chariots. The south wall
was adorned with representation of
the sun, and Immediately below this
was the figure of man in the act ofstep-
ping out of boat, and holding in his
hand a dove" crf
As soon as the report reached the sa-
vans at Washington corps of scientific
gentleman were dispatched to the local.
ity designated, and they, in turn, have
made the following report of their addi-
tiOnal discoveries:
/. Gin the centre ofthe cavern we found
q fiat stone slab. This, being raised, the
floor of the cavern revealed below a
vault filed with. skeletons of unusual
size, the largest being seven feet eight
inches high by actual measurement. By
the side of each skeleton was set small
vase filed with yellow earth, beneath
were found animal bones and particles
of animal mattar. The skeletons were
placed in semi-circle toward the south
west"
And now comes the question to what
lost and unknown race did these giants
belong. Even the archaoiogists are at
fault One writer believes they were a
branch of that mysterious and cultiVa-
ted people whom the Aztecs are said to
have swept away and destroyed in their
great hegira to the plains of Mexico.
Another maintains that they must have
been related to the great Natchez nation
which once held sway all along the
Mississippi. Pretty much all who have
given any attention to the matter agree
IA fhe the theory that the figured sun on
the rock chamber indicates that the race
were worsbipers of the Sun and it is al
so held that the representation of the
man with the dove stepping ont of a
boat Is an allusion TO that tradition of
the dciuge which, in one form or anoth-
ef, all of our aboriginal people have
been found to hold.
However these things may be, these
discoveries are ample proof of the su-
periority of this forgotten race over
those Who camo after them. The most
scientific men of our country are en-
gagged st present in endeevOring to get
come key by which the greet mystery
may be partially solved at lsask
