The Journal boils over with indignation
because the Sentinel intimAted that Ogiesby
has weakness, and that that weakness was
made apparent in his attempt to fill his
appointments at the wigwsm of the Grant
ties, on Tuesday evening. The friends Of
Mr.. Oglesby say that his illness was occs-
stoned by his having drank warm milk and
eating picked cucumber thereafter. If
the old bon UiUdnt had been in the neighbor-
hood of salt water this trouble might have
arisen from soft shell crabs, or If it had
been cherry season, indulgence in that fruit
might have upset him. But the stern fact
remains, whatever went back on Mr.. Ogies
by, he was upset and couldn't go on with
hisgpeech as set down in the bills. It was
unfortunate for Mr.. Oglesby that he was
oversAksn Just at the time he was. We are
happy to notice that he has recovered from
his indisposition, thanks to bath and rest
and he may get through the canvass without
q relapse, Oglesby is genial and oonvivsl
and accidents will happen in even well reg
ulated moral fsmilies.-hdidnGpoliS Senti

These logs crumbIed down on being
exposed to the air. Near by lay 1
stone hammer, weighing thirty-siS
pounds, and another of copper,
weighing twenty-five pounds. Ga
the debris thrown from the mine,
were trees showing three hundred
and ninety five years growth, while
the decayed trees of a former gener-
alton were seen lying across the
pits.
This certainly points back 70
great antiquity, and must have been
coeval with the mound buildings -
The area OF ground supposed 10
have been worked by these ancient
miners, is greater than that occu-
pied by the present generation. and
it is to be hoped that further light
may yet be thrown upon this ancient
people from these dark, underground
places
There are many theories in regard
to this race. and one limited at in
some ancient books is, that an intel
ligent people came from the east in
ships more than thousand years be-
fore the Christian era, and settled in
Central America and Mexico, where
they remained peaceably till they
were strong enough, when they con
quered the country, established their
civilization, built their mounds, and
finally spread themselves up the
Mississippi, carrying their mound
building propensities with thcm.-
That here they remained till bar
barous people from the north, who
are supposed to have come over
Behring strait, poured down upon
them, and after a terrible struggle
of thirteen years, drove them back
to their southern country. Here we
have the first introduction to our ln>
dams.
There are evidences that, ages
ago, some of the States of South
America we're civilized, and it is
surmised that the enlightened peo-
pie who "came in ships" and set
tied in Central America and Mexico,
were from that land.
However this may be, there is
good authority for the belief that
both North and South America were
once in the far past inhabited by in
telligent, civilized people, and that
we are not SO far superior to them
as We may have imagined.
The glimpses of light that we
catch through the crevices of time
are enough to show US our ignor>
ance of the past, but not enough to
satisfy our longing curiosity.
