Indian Relies in Indiana.

The New Albany, Ind, Le,iger of a
recent date contains the following:
Mr.. Samuel Jones, near New Amster-
dam, Harrison county, sends us an ac-
count of having drained lake in his
place covering over seventy acres, which
has probably existed there for hundreds
of years. The work was one of great
labor and expense, but restores to use a
fine body of land, and Mr.. Jones is cer-
tainly entitled to great credit for the
work performed. He informs us that
after the draining had been completed
he found that the bed of the lake had at
one time been occupied as an Indian
camping ground, probably the site of
one of their villages. AS evidence of
this, he states that in digging cellar
large quantities of bear and deer bones
were thrown up. At other points on
the place, when digging holes to set
posts, bones of Indians were found.
Several Indian graves have been dis
covered on the place, which appear to
have been covered with mussel shells.
taken from the bed of some of the neigh
implements of various kind have also
been found on the place, and in the i'm
mediate neighborhood. From the state
ment of Mr.. Jones there can be no
doubt that the locality, at one time, has
been the home of large tribe of North
American Indians, every trace of which
has disappeared except the relics thus
accidentally discovered. This is an in
teresting field for the Investigations of
arch@ologists, and may enable them to
gather some valuable information in re-
gard to tho aborigines of the country.

Saving Money.

There is, perhaps, no one in this world
more to be pitied than the poor man
the man who has got into the habit of
saving until he saves from sheer delight
in seeing his wealth increase, and of
counting every dollar Of expenditure as
though its loss was something that could
never be repaired. Yet it is the duty of
every poor man to save something The
possession of a few dollars often makes
all the difference between happiness and
misery, and no man, especially with Il
family dependent on him, can be truly
independent unless he has few dollars
reserved for the time of need. While
extreme carefulness as to the expendi-
ture of money will make a rich man
poor, wise economy will almost as GER
tainly make poor man rich, or at least
make him, TO a considerable extent in
dependent of the caprices of employers
and OF the common vicissitudes of life.
man than the habit 81 taeHint ateHi tie sJlflar
thing; but his little hoard will soon be-
gin to grow at rate which will sur
prise and crafty him. Every working
man ought to have an account in some
savings bank, and should add to it every
week during which he has full employ
ment, even if the addition is but dol
lar ut time. If he does this he will
soon find the dollars growing into tens,
and these tens into hundreds, and in a
little time will be in possession of sum
which is constantly yielding an addition
to his income, which secures him a re-
serve fund whenever one is needed, and
which will enable him to do many
things, which, without little money,
he would be powerless to do.-PittsR"trM

Weights and Ages,

Somebody who has been "studying
our weights" reports that "upon an
average, boys at birth weigh little
more, and girls little less, than six
pounds and half. For the first two
years the two sexes continue nearly
equal in weight but beyond that time
males acquire decided preponderance.
Phus young lnen of twenty average one
hundred and forty-three pounds each,
while the young women of twenty aver
age one hundred and twenty pounds.
Men reach their heaviest bulk at about
thirty-five, when they average about
one hundred and sixty-two pounds; but
women slowly increase in weight until
fifty, when their average is one hundred
and forty-nine pounds Taking men
and women together, their weight at
full growth averages about twenty times
as heavy as they were on the first day
of their existence. Men range from one
hundred and eight to two hundred
pounds, women from lightweight 10
two hundred and seven pounds. The
actual weight of human nature, taking
the average of all ages and conditions
mobiles, clergy, tinkers, tailors, maidens
boys, girls, and babies, all included, is
very nearly one hundred pounds. These
figures are given as avoirdupois weight
but the advocates of the superiority Of
women might make nice point of in
Producing the rule that women be
weighed by Troy weight-lke Other
jewels-and men avoirdupois. The fig.
ures will then stand: young men O.
twenty, one hundred and forty-thret
pounds each; young women Of twenty
one hundred and sixty pounds.

An Awkward Mistake.

A curious story was current in West
End circles some years ago. The Duke
of Wellington received a note which he
believed emanated from the Bishop of
London, requesting permission "to
sketch the Waterloo breeches" The
Duke, though both alarmed and sur
prised, Immediately ordered the "small
clothes" to be forwarded to st. James
square, with the following characteristic
epistle: "F. M. the Duke of Wellington
presents his compliments to the Bishop
of London, and is not aware that the
breeches he wore on tho occasion of the
battle of Waterloo differ materially from
many other pairs in his Grace's posses
sion, but they are very much at the
Bishops service, and he can make any
use of them he thinks proper" The
Bishops CONSERVATION on receipt of the
above, with its accompanying parcel,
had the effect of inducing him imme-
diately to order his carriage and drive
to the Prime Minister with this sad
proof of the wreck of his Grace's mental
powers, whilst the Duke" on the
other hand, mounted his horse and rode
to the residence of the Lord Chancellor
with similar announcement in respect
to the Bishop, producing the note he
had that morning received. On a
closer examination it was discovered
that the writer was not the Bishop of
London, but " Miss Loudon," daughter
of the great landscape gardener, and
herself an artist of some celebrity, ask
ing his Graces permission to sketch not
the Waterloo breeches," but clump of
trees at Strathfeldsaye, known as the
Waterloo beeches." The Duke had
mistaken "Loudon" for " London" the
Bishops usual signature, the initials be-
ing, singularly enough, the same in both
cases.-Miner'S Journal
