The Ohio horticultural society has
petitioned the general assembly tC
encourage the culture and protection OF
forests in the state by the otlerof liberal
bounties and by cXempting from taxa

against wanton or careless destruction
of shade trees along the public high
ways.

when he landed his colony there in
1910, covers one and Il half acres of

A substitute for quinine is reported
to have been discovered in the echises
plant, which grows abundantly in the
Philippine islands. 1t is said to be u
remedy for all kinds Of fever, that
the use of it involves none of the
unpleasant after-eilects Of quinine, and
that it can be prepared at onc-half OF
the cost of the latter drug. If true,
this is a most important discovery, rs
the 'aftcr-eilects' Of quinine are fire.
uuently worse than its benefits.

Fast Railroad Time.

The Syracuse Journal of Saturday
last says: yesterday the special train
conveying vice-president Vanderbuilt
and other Central railroad officials
who have been making tour of the
road from Albany to Buffalo, left the

city before 2 o'clock. The train con-
sisted OF an engine, Mr.. James Wood,
engineer, and two passenger coaches.
The run from Rochester to this city
was made in eighty-tive minutes, in
Guiding one stoppage for water at Clyde

ty-one miles, eight minutes, or at the

BoSToN, March 1.-THE Boston Adj
vertiser, remarking upon the result of
the New Hampshire election, says,
after making allowances for special
local disturbances which prevail to
some extent in all elections, the salient
fact remains that the republican ma
jority averaging nearly forty-five hun
dred in the last ten years, has been
wiped out, and that, too, in favor of
party which could present no claim to

u way of escape for republicans who
feel that in their own party their
confidence has been sadly betrayed.
New hampshire marks the inevitable
tendency of our politics, the waning
power of once popular leaders, the I'M
willingness of large class of intelli-
gent voters to own allegiance to aparty

The mounds found in various parts
of the West, are the remains of the
aboriginal tribes, and are supposed to
be chiefly mortuary and commemora-
tive monuments. 1t seems to be in
stinctive in human nature, whether saw
age or civilized, to desire the remem-
brance Of posterity, and thus, if posi-
BILE to steal few years from oblivion.
But how soon ever monuments them
selves become a puzzle. or crumble to
dust! 1t would seem that these mounds
had yet another purpose.
In Ohio, mound of novel char
-acter, has recently been cut through, in
order 10 make the approach to The New
town Bridge, near Cincinnati. 1t was
evidently the debris of huge sacrifice
of children. a space twenty feet in
diameter had been covered with an i'm
mense heap Of wood then it was set on
fire, and the children were probably
tossed in, one by one, as the ancient
sacrifice TO Moloeh. The heat was evi-
IDENTIFY intense and long continued, as
the ground plainly showed the effects
of violent confagratiou. AS soon as
the sacrifice was complete and the fire
had died out the remains of the vic
Tins were all rakcd together in the cen
ter, and then the mound was raised in a
very remarkable way. Soil was brought
apparently by different tribes, from diff
ferent localities. Each variety was
carefully deposited by itself, so that the
difference was clearly distinguishable.
The remains collected consist mostly of
jaws and teeth Of children. A pierced
tooth Of rodent was found, which had
evidently been used as an ornament
The remains will be placed in Ia muse
