Archaeological Discovery in France.

An interesting archaeological discovery
has, according to the French newspapers,
been recently made near Mount St. Odile,
at Obernai. Lower Rhine, by NJ. Felix
Voulot, an Alsatian archeologist. On ex-
cavating slight eminence resembling an
ordinary heap of stones within the area of
the ruins known as the Heathens' Wall
(ieidenmaur) he came upon six sarco-
phagi, which afforded, it is said, incontes-
table evidence of burial before the Roman
period. In one of the sarcophagi was
found sharp stone hatchet, while the
others contained objects characteristic OF
the age OF stone and bronze. Two graves,
| dug like the Scandinavian sepulchres, in
| the form of die. which seemed to be in
tended to receive bodies in sitting pos
| ture, contained the fragment of q skull OF
extraordinary thickness and also portions
of massive silver ring. But the most
important discovery was that OF coffin,
| about six feet long, in which was the COM
plctc skeleton of q man. From the Orna-
ments found with him it is conjectured
that he was Il Gallic priest. The orna-
merits consist of Il collar, artisically made
of yellow amber laps -lazuli, and glass
beads large gold and silver earrings, an
iron knife, an amulet Of baked earth. u
stone hatchct similar To those which, ar
cording to the descriptions given by the
aneients, We're carried by the Druiis IA
handsome gfas- vessel, supposed to be II
sacriiicial cup; shoes richly adorned with
gold and silver; and gold ring covered
with hierog yphic>. and in an excellent
| state OF prcservaton. On pursuing his in
vestigations at the iooc OF Mount Cox
willer, NJ. Voulot came upon the remains,
in great abundance. of Il similar race and
from the condition of many skulls which
he found, and the presence of warlike i'm
plements, he was led to infer that he was
upon the scene of some early struggle Of
the Celtic and German races. The result
OF the discoveries in regard to the Heiden-
mauer is said to prove that it dates not
only before the Romans, but before the
Celts whom they conquered.

Democratic Prospects.

The New York World puts in {
fresh aspect the record of the eighteen
States that have held elections since
the general election of 1872, and gives
the political revolution that it indicates
a new significance Grants majoriaty
two years ago in the popular vote was
702,271, the largest ever received by
u Presidential candidate. In that re-
cord the eighteen States lefered to, in,
GLIDING representatives from every sec
ton, East, West, North, South and
Central, gave a total vote as follows:
In 1872, Administration, 2,104,330 ;
opposition, 1,644, $50, thus leaving the
former mojority of 459,391. But
taking the figures which cover the
months of the subsequent period in
dicating the gradual but steady change
and the set of the tide of opinion in the
opposite direction is surprising. For
1878 and 1874 these eighteen States
give total vote of 1,697,O15, for the
opposition, and 1,49s,O5O for the Ad-
ministration, showing an opposition
majority Of 1sS,965, and net opposi-
ton gain of G59, $50, or within less
than $4,000 votes of enough to reverse
the whole of Grants overwhelming
majority in the entire country. Of
these gains 90 per cent. has been
made by the Democrats, and of late
they have been looked to with more
confidence than for long time pre-
vious to form the nucleus ofthe reform
movement that is setting in with so
much vigor, and in these times Of anti
republican tendencies the hard.money
and decentralizing principles Of the
Democratic party cannot fail to com
mend it to all who have the cause of
National honor and prosperity at
heart.

There are unmistakable indie

There are unmistakable indica-
tons, according to the New York
Times, that the teal estate market in
that city is livelier and healthier than
at has been before since the panic.
This opinion is based upon general OBJ
servation, and upon the recent sale Of
the Mott property, at which there was
gratifying revival of the old spirit of
competition that used to rule where
valuable landed property was the
prize, and though the prices might not
have been as great as they would have
been when the real estate market was
most stimulated, they We're neverthe
less much higher than the most san
guine had expected. The Times says,
that no amount of explanation of this
unusal buoyancy, on other than gener-
al grounds, Can destroy the favorable i'm
preston that has been made. Shrewd
business men, who did not know for a
long time what the condition of stand
ard values was to be, have at last
touched bottom and reached a basis
where their confidence in future can
be renewed, and as many ofthem have
been guarding and boarding money
carefully for investment they look up
on the present as good time to use it,
since in settled times real estate has al
ways been apopular form of invest
ment. The same conditions that in
this instance apply to New York are
general, and we may expect to see its
briskness have an enlivening effect
upon all of our cities where there is
eligible real estate to buy and sell.

SPIRIT OF THE ADE
Thursday, Mag ID, 1874.

The Republicans in the Pennsyl
vania Legislature have introduced an
apportionment bill framed to secure
them, what they fear the votes of the
people would not do under a proper
law, majority in that body. A
"Gerymaning" process, in order to
keep in power, in the State, by a
mean, undetermined, partisan transac-
ton. But the so-called Republican
party, will resort nowadays to al
most any measure-no matter how
corrupt or illegal-in order to obtain
power and keep it. The history Of
this party for the last few years in the
Government is anything but creditable
for the good name and fame Of the
country, and those concerned. We
make this statement with no fear of
successful contradiction. 1t can be
easily proved by the records made and
kept by this very selfsame Republi-
can party. How about the Credit
Mobilier, Sanborn Contracts, Freed
mems Bureau, the Salary Grab, and
many other similar "swindles" that
into existence since the inauguration
of the Republican into power.

longing to the laboriug classes at
Merthyr Tydvil, in Wales, took a
wife of about the same number OF
years. The honeymoon ended per-
emptorily in three months, for George
departed suddenly and silently, leav
ng'Catherine no explanation of his
motives nor information in regard to
the route taken. She refused to pine
away, however, at this desertion, but
accepted her mission at once as de-
cided, and her search for the delin-
quent husband commenced. She had
no money, but she worked hard and
earned enough to get to London and
institute search. Unsuccessful there
but learning that he had crossed the
water, she followed on, and for years
pushed her inquiries in Boston, New
York, Philadelphia and other cities,
successfully, stopping long enough in
each to earn money for detective oper-
otions in the next. Finally, she
worked her way through New Or
leans and St. Louis to Chicago, where,
two years ago, her perseverance was
rewarded by finding her recreant lord
living with another wife, and in the
quiet enjoyment of some real estate.
She put in an appearance, and deliver
ed little Grafton to George and his
astonished family that she had been
composing for about eighteen years.
The next day, however, she found
that in a single night he had sold his
property, pocketed the money, and
silently stole away again. Something
was gained, however; she Immediate
ly set lawyers at work to estab-
fish her title to the property, on the
ground that it was f'audulently con-
veyed, as there could have been the
signature OF no genuine wife to the
deed. She has been patiently work
ing as cook to carry ON the case, and
now has the satisfaction of seeing the
main points admitted. Soon she will
start on her rounds again to see what
new possessions George may have,
and he is likely to find that the way
of the transgressor is hard.
