occasion he threw u whole army across

The MoDocs. half-past o'clock
yesterday evening the greater part of the
remnant of the Modoc tribe arrived in
this city, guarded by detachments of the
Fourth Artillery and Twelfth Infantry,
commanded by Captain Hasbrouck,
rank and file numbering sixty-four men.
The Modocs counted forty braves, fifty
two squaws and ifty-four children, and
occupied six emigrant cars, the majori-
ty Of the women and children being in
the front. The men were shackled by
the leg and presented snbdued and
placable appearance. They were unpre-
possessing and uncouth to the sight and
extremely slovenly, although there were
manyOf them who were stalwart in form,
and might, by stretch of the imagina-
ton, suggest to the mind some idea of
the vaunted heroes who bravely defend
ed their stronghold in the lava beds.
The women were tolerably well dressed
in calico frocks and were bare-headed.
The widow and daughter of Capt. Jack
sat together, the formers face and hair
being covered with tar and ashes, the
usual badge of mourning among their
tribe: the latter comely looking maid
of about fifteen. They changed cars and
started at nine O'Clock for Fort Russell,
Wyoming Territory, whence, it is sup
posed, they will be removed to reserva-
ton in that vicinity. The rumor that
they were coming, attracted an immense
crowd at the depot, anxious to see the
redoubtable savages who had SO long
kept at bay the well-disciplined troops OF
the Government. Many were lucky
enough to carry off with them some
souveniers Of the execution of Jack and
his comrades. Pieces of the rope by
which they were hanged were liberaly
distributed among the crowd. The Mo

RELICS OF THE PAsT.-1he San Fran
cisco Bulletin records the following in
cident of by-gone days.
The lot at the southeast corner Of San
some and Washington streets, wherein
large number of laborers are engaged in
excavating for the foundation of the APP
praisers store, under the direction of
Samuel Mccullough, has been partially
surrounded with high board fence, in
order to prevent communication between
the men and meddlesome intruders. To
people on the outside the reporter can
say that the work is being hurried for
ward at q rapid rate, though at present
the interest attached TO it is in connec-
ton with relics lately exhumed. 1t APP
pears that during a gale in 1S40 two
scows were sunk in the bay, at the point
where the lot is now located. and also
that they never saw the light of day un-
til recently dug out of the debris. One
of these vessels was forty feet long by
fifteen wide, and the other was rude
affair and much smaller. They were
once the property of Captain Richard
son, the first Harbor Master of San Fran
cisco, and disappeared when this burg
was simply supply station, known to
the world as Yerba Buena. 1t is almost
unnecessary to remark that the waters of
the bay washed Montgomery street in
those days.

INSTINCT IN INSECTS. and beavers
lay up magazines. Where to they get
their knowledge that it will not be SO
easy to collect food in the rainy
weather as il is in Summer? Men and
women know these things because their
grandpapas and grandmamas have told
them SO; ants, hatched in the eggs arti-
ficially, or birds hatched in this manner,
have all this knowledge by intuition,
without the smallest communication with
any Of their relations. Now, observe
what the solitary wasp does; she digs
several holes in the sand, in each of
which she deposits an egg, though she
certainly knows not that an animal is de-
posted in that egg. and still less that
this animal must be nourished with other
animals. She collects few green flies,
rolls them up neatly in separate paroles
(like Bologna sausages), and stuffs one
parclel into each hole where an egg is
deposited. When the wasp-worm is
Matched, it finds store of provisions
ready made; and what is most curious,
the quantity allotted to each is exactly
sufficient to support it until it attains the
period of wasphood, and can provide for
itself. This instinct of the parent wasp
is the more remarkable, as it does not
feed upon flesh itself. Here the little
creature has never seen its parent, for,
by the time it is born, the parent is al
ways eaten by sparrows, and yet, without
the slightest education or previous ex-
perience, it does everything that the par
ent did before it. Now the objectors to
the doctrine of instinct may say what
they please, but young tailors have no
intuitive mode of making pantaloons; a
new born mercer never measures diaper:
nature teaches cooks daughter moth
ing about sippits. All these things re-
quire with us seven years of apprentice
ship, but insects are like Moliere's per-
sons of quatity-they know everything
Gas Moliere says) without having learned
anything.-[Sydney Smith.

A STRANGE DISCOVERY.

At the southeast corner of Fifth aud
Locust streets stands the grocery Of
lanes Clark A very unpretending gro
cery and an unpretending grocer. But
now the grocery has place in antiquity,
and all through the laying of foot-walk.
Mr.. Clark has served out dried beans,
measured molasses, sliced ham, and
weighed salt mackersl at said corner for
twenty years and odd. The house was
occupied by his father before him, and
has an aged appearance-the house has.
The sidewalk surrounding the store
and the two houses on Locust street was
very much dilapidated, and twas deemed
advisable to lay new one. The work
was commenced yesterday. As long as
Mr.. Clark can remember the house, No.
43O Locust street, Immediately back OF
his establishment, has had in front of
the door an old marble or soapstone slab.
When the pavement was removed this,
of course, was taken up. The bricklayer,
upou turning it over, was surprised to
find that it was veritable tombstone. on
which was the name and age of person
who died full of years. 1t contained the
following inscription: --
In memory OF
Mrs. - Allison,
Wife of Robert Allis-
Who departed this l.
April the Goth, 1869,
Aged las years,
The stone is about three feet high and
eighteen or twenty inches wide. The
words given are all very plain, but where
the dashes occur the inscriptions have
been effaced by age and the wearing
awav of the soft stone. The age of the
venerable lady shows that she was born
in the wear 1924.
Directly under the bulk window of the
store on Fifth street another tombstone
was found, but not quite so ancient as
the first named. 1t is cut from rather
soft granite and bears the following in
scription
In memory of
Mr.. CHARLES McSwEES,
Late Of the Island of
Grenada.
Who departed this Life
May Is, 1774,
Aged Ga years.
1t is not known how or why these an
cient tombstones were placed in the po-
sitions in which they were found, and
where they no doubt have remained for
many years. As far as can be ascertaind
there was no old burying ground in the
immediate vicinity, and it seems strange
that they should have been placed upon
the pavement surrounding the old frame
building. now occupied by Mr.. Clark.
The supposition, however, is that some
old place OF interment was broken into
by the extension of the city, and the
stones used for the purposes as stated.
A remarkable thing in connection with
the matter is the extreme age of the per-
son upon the slab first mentioned. 1t is
a subject which the Numismatic and An
tiquarian Society should take charge of.
II it can be established that Mrs. Allison
was 145 years old when she died, she
was certainly older than any person who
has lived in modern times, or whom
there is any account, except "old Thorn.
as Parr," who was born in 1883, and
died in London November Is, 1886,
aged 1852 years. Philadelphia Bulletin,
