4 ANTEDLLUVLAN REMALNS on ISLE
ROYaLE

The Boston Da.y Globe tells of the an
cient copper mines on Isle Royale, as Civ
ing evidence Of having been worked by
another race of men in a bygone age. 1t
says that shafts OF quite depth, which had
become flied up in the course OF centuries,
have been newly opened and explored,
AT the distance Of 60 feet below the sur
face, mining instruments Of elaborate make
had been found, together with traces of
charcoal, with the aid Of which the copper
smiths of that ancient time, wrought and
tempered tools that might well excite the
admiration Of skilled workmen i'll the nine
teenth century.
The chief working instruments in the
mines seem to have been hammers of much
hardness, and chisels of fine temper and
firm edge. Fire apparently, had something

other states allow themselves to be used as
the tools of a moneyed lobby, and become
so anxious to defeat the ST. Croix grant of
land, that they descend to the meanest till-
clustering under the lead of a Hoosier trick
ster, and a New York demagogue. Is it
accidental? Or are not these honorable (?)
gentlemen paid for their strangely persist
ent attacks?
Let onr delegation look into the matter,
and expose this collusion with bribing
lobby. They can do SO if they perform
their duty, and we believe they will. Give
us the facts and the names, that we may
publish to the world who among American
Congressman, have sold themselves to a
great land grant monopoly, and in its inter
est hypocritically refuse the JUST DUE Of
Wisconsin.

THE RIGHTS OF WISCONSIN, AND THE
HOBBIES AND LOBBIES OF CONGRESS.
Congress is soon to assemble again, aud
the question will again be brought up "Has
the State of Wisconsin no rights that the
National Government is bound to respect!
Is this great State to be maze the scape-
goat of past national extravaganza and
rights that were pledged to her long ago,
and half forfeited technically by no fault Of
hers, to be denied her, because certain DEM
agogues of the middle states have ridden
into congress on the economy hobby?
Little enough has been done for the State
of Wisconsin at the best Other states have
enioyed the fostering care of the general
government, and we are glad of that. Mn
neSota has received nearly twice as much
public land, and if we get our once promised
rights we care not for the discrepancy. 1t
is all well and good. But after giving that
rich prairie state twice as much, why take
back part of our pittance?
We hope our congressman will narrowly
Jus. demand of Wisconsin for the lands
appertaining to the ST. Crox grant in its
integrity. Let them feel the Just indi gna-
ton of an outraged State by an orga't;zed
acorking opposition to their pet schemes,
that will make them regret the day when
they sought power at the expense OF justice.
We are not of those who would encour-
age factions opposition to the demands
brought forward by other states, OH any
slight grounds, but this IS serious matter,
and it is worth while TO make our power
felt rs a state, right at this point, that is, if
we have any power in Congress. There
are those who are beginning 10 think that
Wisconsin has at last taken the place
among her sister states which Spain has
taken among the powers Of Europe third
rate place.

was torn out. The first soundings since
the storm were taken yesterday, and show
not less than twelve feet of water in the
channel at the entry. Not one of the cribs
of the entry piers was loosened. Some
light work on the top of some of the cribs
of Minnesota Pier was displaced, but nei-
ther of the piers was in any degree impair
ed for its designed use. Lieut. Vose who
is in charge of the harbor works, states that
if the superstructure necessary to complete
the cribs, had been placed, not even the
place.

to do, also, in preparing the ore for removal.
In the same shaft there have been founC,
excellent knife-blades and great hammers,
made of granite, so heavy as to demand the
power of more than the average man of the
present day to WELD one.
The race that wrought with such tools in
the copper mines of Lake Superior ages
ago, is thought to have been the same who
have left huge burial mounds in what is now
the State Of Ohio, and along the Mississippi
valley, and who wrought the strange tenn
Piles and palaces, and worshipped the un-
cou,h images of Central America? The
Aztatp seem modern race compared with
them.
Lake Superior, we remember, as geology
tells us, is the oldest upheaval OF the West
ern continent. Is it possible that we have
stumbled on the remains Of the antedlluvlan
race? What else than Il universal deluge
can account for the utter destruction of a
whole race, whose only remains we find i'll
stone and copper, i'll buildings and working
tools )? This theory will do until Il better
one is started. In the meantime, let us
muse with interest and wonder, on the time
when giants whom Tubal Cain had instruct
ed as artificers i'll brass lcopper? and iron,
wrought mines under the waves of tie
great Lake.

A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, The revolution of another year has again
brought the time when is usual to look back upon
the past and publicly thank the Almighty for His mer
cies and His blessings; and
Whereas If any one people has more occasion than
another for such thankunes it is the citizens OF the
United States whose government is their creature
subject to their behests, who have reserved TO them
selves an ample civil and religious freedom and equal
tv before the law who during the last twelve months
have enjoyed exemption from any grevious or general
calamity and to whom prosperity IN agriculture, man

Led by these considerations, | recommend that on

HOW TO PASS WINTER EVENINGS.
The difference between the mental power
of a man who employed his leisure hours III
youth in iudicious course of reading, and
"a man who trifed away those opportunities,
is simply immense. These long winter
evenings should be passed prohtably, by
having pile of good books at hand. A
few pages in one should be read, and wei!
thought over. Then Il few pages III another,
with the same following period of time for
thought The evenings of one winter spent

and art, will wonderfully stimulate the power
of thinking and observing, and open new

Yesterday morning the Superior entry, was re
ported on tie streets yesterday.-Daah Tribune Of
Nov. 10th.
Yes, and as was positively stated also in
the Tribune of the day before, with Il. fur
ther averment that the Brown "was utterly y
unable to enter the Superior Harbor."
She anchored about two miles north of the
Superior entry, between that and Duluth,
and there rode out in safety the storm which
might have been fatal to her had she been
in the outer ha,bor Of Duluth where the
Sweetheart, the Frances Palms and the
Alice Craig met their doom. If the Brown
was unable TO make the Superior entry, it
was probably because she got too near
Minnesota Point on her way to Duluth to
admit of her getting anywhere near the
Superior entry. The whole statement IN
the Tribune Of the Is h was intended SIM
ply to disparage the harbor of Superior.
An editor with spark of decency would
have made his correction, commensurate
with his previous misst tatement.

Times Of the 10th inst:
The few days since which of so violent
character the upper lakes, dealt severely with
number Of vessels which were outside at the time.
The gale establishes fact, what has long been
conviction with thinking aud observant men, that the
attempt to create artificial harbor at Duluth is
failure and that all money devoted to this object by
the government is virtually thrown 1t is to be
hoped that congress will refuse make any further
appropriations for this purpose and turn its attention
to the improvement of the great natural harbOr at
Superior City just the bay from the Zenith city
And so congress will do, if its own wise
discretion is allowed to govern the case,
and Jay Cookies personal pr"je is, and the
corner lot interest of Duluth are excluded
from congressional plans It is high time
that legislation on this subject should be
controlled by national and not personal
considerations. Jay CookeiSm is not only
oppressive, but expensive and aborlive. Ii
that gentleman must be amused at the pub
lie cost, let some way be devised, less
damaging to the general interest than is
the support of bis wild DuFuth schemes.
