large as the front gave view upon
descending lawn and orchard, and
simmer of the Wippany river i'll the
lower distance. "In the hottest day
in summer" said the gentle hostess,
"therc is always a breeze through the
hall" 1t was pleasant to think that
when the fervid July sun scorched the
elaborate pink and blue tiled roofs of
the modern villas i'll the avenue yOnder,
that the mountain breezes from the
wooded heights that he had made histo-
ric, loved to meet and play and lingcr
here. During his time the door was
never shut" continues the lady, like
pleasant Greek chorus, "but always
open, as you see" Was it the
Virginan habit still strong, or militia
ry necessity? Think of it in that men,
orable winter of II, when the ther-
nom ter stood below zero for weeks,
and the Hudson river was frozen over
at the battery. Yet l an somehow
thankful that the humorist is not with
me to comment upon this startling dis
cOvery of a new and painful youthful
habit.
Then we went into the reception room
or parlor, and saw the elaborate an
tiqne table desk, opening in the middle,
Washington relic individuality, and
then in the bedroom where he slept,
the office where he wrote, the dining
room in which he ate, and looked IN the
| glass at which he shaved. As no one
ever saw Washington with beard, and
as his habits were methodical, perhaps
this insignificant bit of furniture is
most Characteristic and notable. There
was not perhaps, much to see. You
will find more elaborate old furniture in
modern drawing rooms; have stood in
more spacious and characteristic CO.
lonial dwellings, 1t is far unlike the
Cambridge headquarters, in which Long
fellow is set as a precious jewel, but IN
its scant decoration, in its faded and
economic gentility, in its quiet, stern,
uncomprOmising asceticism, 1t Is full
of past, past, entirely its own, the
Spartan period OF the revolution. The
genius of the place descends upon you as
YOU stand there. Even in this gracious
June sunlight you shiver and turn cold.
Gaunt faces peer at You through the
windows; there is the echo of discOn-
tented footsteps in this hall, and yet
through all pathetic patience flowing
from one lonely, self-contained figure,
subdues and saddens every complaining
beam and rafter in the ancient house.
And this to be sold on the 25th of
June to the highest bidder. You can,
as you stand here in fancy, already hear
the auctioneer's hammer. The setting
sun from without looks into the western
windows, lingering fondly, as well it
NAV, over the old house that it knows
so we'll, and whose like it shall never
look again. 1t steals little higher to-
ward the peaked gable. Going, going.
There is a glory on its roof for mo-
ment. and it is gone.

You've only got six sacraments in
your church., my uncle asserted.
"Six !" exclaimed his reverence, as
tonished. "Why, Mr.. Batchelor, there
are sevcn."

mildly, feeling sure of his ground, "to

Frank, who wasn't prospering very well

"NO, replied Frank, who didn't care
twopence for Ninon in Longclothes, as
he called her.
My uncle read out, "On ne prcnd
pas la femme par des prieres no par les
raisonnements, on la prend."

Frank was wild because Miss Whine

Uncle Bachelors observations gave

"Yes," went on Uncle Bachelor,

A married couple who were staying
with us were always quarrelling. The

NV uncle boosted his freedom, they
theirs. My uncle was nowhere against
such a cloud of witnesses-a cloud, for,
in proof their freedom, they were all
smoking, and moreover, did not spare
the wine. AS the bottles passed so they
grew more quart-valiant in their asser.
tions of domestic liberty.

house, loudly and boldly, "in my own

His wife opened the door.

Mound Builders.
Paper Read Before Cincinnati Literary
Club by M. r.. Force.

VI
Before closing, 1 desire to say few
words about some works near Savannah,
Tennessee, described in the SmithsOni-
an octave for 1871, by j. Parish Steele.
On the river bluff, about two miles be-
low Savannah, is a group of these
mounds of the ordinary type; but at
the foot of the bluff, in the swampy
land between it and the river, is long
intrenchment, not wholly Obliterated.
There is ditch along it's front toward
the river. At regular intervals, or at
every eighty yards, the tracing OF the
embankment projects to the front, so as
to make flank defenses, or rudimentary
bastions, eighty yards apart. On the
edge of the town, on the river bluff, is
another group of mounds. This group
of mounds is inclosed by double line
of intrenchment, each like the one just
described. The flank defenses that pro-
iect from the angles of the main en-
bankment extend out thirty yards the
others extend out only twenty yards.
One of the mounds, eight feet high,
stands on slope. In constructing it
three trenches were first dug in the
surface of the ground and then arched
over with tempered clay, making three
furnaces. Rows of upright sticks or
logs appear then to have been placed
between these furnaces, partly for the
purpose of protecting them from too
great pressure. The mound was then
made by throwing on earth: But fiues
of tempered clay were made, some ex-
tending directly up to the upper sur
face of the mound, others sinuOusly
winding through it, so as to convey
heat to every part. Logs of green wood
were interspersed thickly through the
mound, and bits of dry wood placed
about them. When the mound was
opened. all the wood was found reduced
to charcoal. and the whole mound baked
almost to brick. In another of the
group we're found fragments Of burned
clay flues and bits of charcoal. The first
has the appearance of an elaborately
constructed charcoal pit, from which
the charcoal has not been removed; the
other, one from which the charcoal had
been taken. A tree, growing on one of
the mounds, was found to be 215 years
old. The other mounds we're found to
contain some bits of pottery and a few
stone implements. While these are un-
doubtedly the works of the natives, it
is not easy to believe that the intrench-
ments and charcoal mounds were not
made by Europeans.
De Soto, marching north across AL
bama, reached river which he CROSS
in boats that he built j Decemb9

The Fight Between the Greeks and
Latins in Bethlehem.

On the 25th of April was very I'M
priestly and disgraceful sort of row.
The Franciscan fathers were attacked
by the Greek papas, as they were
issuing from the Sanctuary of the
Nativity, after celebrating mass.
The Greek bishop himself, forgetting
that his inter was not helmet, gave
the signal for tina attack by striking one
of the Latins with q stick, and, both
sides being reinforced by their parti-
sans and the rabble generally, the con-
t3st lasted half an hour. Lamps and
stoves were broken, and one or two
heads but order was restored before
serious injury was done to either party,
and the Franciscans finished their wOr-
ship. At night, the Greeks, seconded
by the Armenians, planned a raid for
pillage and desecratiOn, upon the
august sanctuary of Christianity.
Armed with sticks, cutlasses, pistols,
ETC., and infiamed with wine, these men
marched upon Bethlehem, crying death
to the Catholics. At half.past seven in
the evening, a terrible struggle COM
menced in the grotto of the Nativity.
The Greek bishop himself descended
into the sanctuary and gave the order OF
pillage. The copper lamps of the ma.

UNCLE BACHELORS OPINIONS
From the Illustrated London News

He was cynic was Uncle Bachelor ;
and, though the kindest-hearted crea-
ture would meet, even on a Christmas
morning, in England, he coul mt help
saying hard thing now and then.
The conversation on Christmas eve
happened to turn upon Uncle Batche-
lor's singlearity of disposition.
"You might as we'll be hermit, Un-

"Don't interrupt me when I'm talk

"Ah I" said uncle; ga widow?"

"Won't do, returned Uncle Bachelors
then he added somewhat sententiOusly,
ga Young and handsome widow, who
retires from the world, does no, like q
child secreting itself behind a curtain
in a game of hide-and-seek. 1t is that
sshe may be sought for, found, and
brought out again."
"Why do yo call women the oppo.
site sex ?" asked cousin Annie, will

because, my dear, they contrary
u.s. as the French express it," returned
Uncle Bachelor; "and the French use
the word very happily"
"But." said my uncle, "why on
earth should lovers call their sweet.
hearts 'angels'? All the angels IN
whom we've any warrant for believing,
are of the male sex"
And here the old gentleman, who was
bit of theologian, began a list from
st. Michael dOwnwards. He certainly
had the best of the argument.
