ner, "far away Moses" look about the
Westminster Brahmin, whom we found
at his post, extremely suggestive OF that
early Spanish King who scorched
himself to death sooner than ring
With his own regal hand iof
the tire-scrCcn. His hair was built
up two stories, shiny, odorous Of musk
and insolence; his diamond cluster min
was as large as those beautiful little but
ter.pats served up in nearly all hotels.
Indeed, II all the proprietors would in
crease the sze Of the butter.pats and de-
crease the circumference Of the cluster

comfort and popularity of their inns. The
book keeping Brahmin was wrapped In
thought. His clear cut Norman features
were buried in the broad leaves of ledR.

extra fires and bottles Of wine q guests
bill would stand without protest in
these generous Christmas times. To us,
dwellers on the threshold, he paid no
more attention than II we had been
gentlemen from Sandy Hook without
luggage, wanting rooms. This sort Of
thing could not last. II was too great
strain on the nerves. Our pride came to
our rescue. Mr., Mccullough commenc.

the counter, against which he brought up

fixed, far-seeiDg, passionless gsze of the

laxed enough to say that he believed

the mound Is composed of ashes. Whether
the mound was used as place Of sacrificed

sacrifce, or on the death Of some dis.
tinguished parsonage and he then deposit.
ed in their ashes, or whether cremation
was then practiced on a most ex:
tenslve scale, may afford meditations for
the future. We think there will be no
difficulty in demonstrating that the mound
Is but great heap Of ashes. Mr.. Harris
has taken some Of the material with q
view OF testing its nuttitive quality as to
plants. As We stand on the top Of this
ancient monument, so feet from
the ground, the utilitarisn idea comes
uppermost. II the mound is a valuable
fertilizing mass 1t would not take long 10
scatter 1t over a vast extent Of country.
Such an inglorious ending Of this greatest
wonder OF its kind should not be allowed.
1t should be preserved, but it may also
be made useful as an elevation upon
which 10 construct great basin, from
which not only the whole town, but the
State buildings could be supplied with
water. Wolf Springs afford an inexhaust.
ible supply of excellent water, which
could easily be. forced up TO that height.
Such use Of the mound would warrant its
preservation.
AS train time approaches we must
leave behind US the curious mound and
our speculatlons. Down to the depot and
onto the train, we waive an sdieu and,
thankful for the recreation we have en-
joyed, bid good speed to Moundsville
