sissippi Valleys found various forms Of
earthwOrks in the solitudes Of the will

is said that Ohio alone has 10000 Of
these III the form of mounds of various
sizes, and ! 800 Enclosures are scattered
through the State. They are found in
Illinois, Wisconsin and other Western
States, and in the Gulf States, varying
in size Some are small hillocks two or
three feet high, while others assume
almost pyramidal magnitude, Ike the

of more than six acres, summit OF near

Of all these works is located at Newark,
Ohio. It is Iabyrinthine in structure,
containing some fifteen miles OF embank-
ment, and after years Of investigation
arch9ologists can do no more than sur
mise as to what its uses We're. Clearly
it cannot have been built for archItec-
tural purposes, for the Enclosures OF
which it principally consists have the

while the outside presents no visible Oh

largest Of these Enclosures, and the best

A Supposed Corpse Comes to Life After
Being on Ice for Three Days.

4 most remarkable instance of a sup
posed corpse having been found to pos
sess signs of animation, and really being
restored to life after lying on ice for
three days, has just transpired at
Gonkers, Westchester County. 1t ap-
pears that a seven-year old child of a
machinist named Miller, living on River
dale avenue, III the city above mentioned,
having been in delicate health almost
from the time of its birth, was attacked
by an unusually severe fit of illness last
Thursday morning. A physician was
called in, and he, after apparently salts
flying himself as to the course of treat
ment to be adopted, prescribed for the
little one, and on leaving intimated that
he would call again in the afternoon. 1t
is understood that the medicine pre-
scribed was powerful Opiate; but
whether this was the case or not, it is as
serted that when the medical man called
in the afternoon glance at his late
patient induced him to pronounce the
child dead. The services of an under
taker were, of course, at once procur I'd,
and by him the supposed corpse was
tenderly prepared for the last rites, and
then placed in an ice coffin until the
usual time for interment should have
elapsed
4 wake was accordingly held, and
mourning relatives and friends sat up
with the body day and night until Sun
day afternoon, the time announced fol
the funeral. Friends of the family haC

Live Lizards In the Stomach Of a
Woman.

On Wednesday Mrs. Mitchell vomited
the third live black lizard from her stom-
ach. She is the wife of Mr.. John Mitch
eli, who resides in Cumru Township and
is employed as a machinist in the Phila-
delphia & Reading Railroad Company's
shops, and yesterday morning her hus-
band brought the reptile along to this
city, when he came to work, and pre-
sented it in a bottle to DR.. Dundore, who
is preserving it alive. 1t is four inches
N length and is dark on the back and
spotted, very similar to a trout, on the
stomach.
Last spring when returning home
from this city in carriage she vOmited
something alive whilst she was leaning
over the side of the vehicle, but did not
stop to examine it. About two weeks
ago she felt a choking sensation and
threw up into a basin at home live
lizard about four inches in length, and
on Wednesday another one. About an
hour thereafter she felt choking sensa-
tion again in her throat, which led her to
believe that there are more lizards in ber
stomach.
Mrs. Mitchell is about thirty-three
years of age, weighs about eco pounds
and is in good health, excepting that oc
casionally she is afflicted with weak
spells and choking sensation, but these
are of short duration. One evening last
summer, year ago. she drank water
from the spout of a pump and remarked
to her husband at the time that she be
lieved she drank something alive with
tie water.
Mrs. Mitchell intends taking some
drug to destroy the reptiles in her stom
ach.-Readtng (Pa) Eagle.

The Effect Of the Victory.

Never did great moral victory seem
to awaken a more Commendabie spirit
than that which is being manifested in
all portions of the South at the present
time. Press and people in every State
accept The results, not as bringing great
er license or opportunity to make return
in kind for the wrongs and hardships
they have undergone, but as intrusting
TO them new duties and requiring of
them greater responsibility. Between
the whites and the blacks the era of good
feeling seems to have commenced. Says
the New Orleans PicdyuHe THE past
should be forgotten. Abundant expe-
rience has shown the negro that there is
no right or interest he has which will not
be better guarded by the honest white
people, with whom he has maintained
relations of amity and intimacy, than by
the fugitive class of political adyentu-
rers who have for few years past ruled
and controlled him. On the part of the
white race of the South what nobler
mission could they have than that of
bringing about this result, and by their
superior intelligence conducting the ne
gro race toward full realization of
their duties and capacities?' This sounds
little like a reign of terror, and as for
treason, the Eufala (Alal Times indorses
the remarks of distinguished Southern
politician of that section who says of
the old flag" We believe that to-day the
best and manifest OF our Northern coun-
trymen, those least disposed to SANDER
and oppress us, are to be found among
the brave men who belong to the regular
army, and we cannot hate the colors they
carry. The flag of the Union army to-
day represents nothing that we hate"
Such sentiments as these constitute the
rule only proved by those few exceptions
magnified by Republican politicians to
promote strife and sustain Radicalism-

Limit Your Wants.

Lord Bohngbroke, in his Reflections
Upon Exile, says: Our natural and real
wants are confined to narrow bounds
while those which fancy and custom
create are confined to none" Young
men who are jusl entering upon life, and
forming the habits which are likely to
adhere to them to lis close, will do well
to treasure up in memory these true and
instructive words of one of Engand's S
finest writers and most philosophic
statesmen Our natural and real wants
are confined to narrow bounds" 1t is
surprising how little it is that is abso-
lutely essential to mans existence, and
if he will take an intelligent and consid-
crate view of life, 20 his comfort and
happiness. Intellectual enjoyments are
comparatively cheap. The cultivation
of the mind, which affords the highest
and the only enduring satisfaction, can
be pursued on an income quite insignifi-
cant for the supply of luXurics. Our
physical wants are very few if we pre-
serve our tastes simple AS they are by
nature. To eat, to drink, TO exercise, to
sleep, to keep warm and to be sheltered; /;
small sum will supply all these neces-
sites. The pleasures which are pure,
and which tend to our improvement, are
WltnlH lnc GedCn Ol almost every one.
But the wants which fancy and custom
create, as Lord Bolingbroke well says,
are confined to no bounds. 1t is against
these that young men on the threshold
of life should sedulously guard. Be
ware of luxurious and expensive habits.
The qualification of them may cost you
much of the labor and time which, if
given TO intellectual cultivation, would
be far more conducive to happiness. 1t
is easy TO do without that which you
have never INDUCED in. 1t is hard to
leave of habits, however eXtravagant and
absurd. When you are to decide about
adopting mode or style OF living, con
slider well whether it is certain that,
without inconvenience, you will be
always able 10 preserve it. The only
safe rule is to keep your wants within
narrow bounds.-Pen and PtOU.

Tea Authorizations.

One of the usual ways of adulteratlng
tea is by the admiXture of leaves other
than those of the tea-plant. For the de.
lection of these foreign leaves but little
aid can be given by chemistry, and it is
best to study their botanical and micro.
sCopical characters. Prof. Alfred II.
Allen gives, in the ChemicdI Nelrs, the fol,
lowing method for detecting adultera-
tions of this kind "Some of the sample
to be examined" says he, sis to be put
in hot water, and, when the leaves have
unfolded, they are spread out on a glass
plate and held up TO the light, when the
venation, serration, etc, are readily OBJ
served The primary venation Of the
tea-leaf forms a series of well-defincd
hoops, which are not met with in most
leaves used as adulterants The scrra-
tions are not mere sawed teeth on the
margin of the legs, but actual hooks. The
Serration stops short, somewhat abruptly,
at some distance above the base. The AS
sam tea-leaf is sometimes bi-serrate. At
the apex of the tea-leaf there is a dis
tinct notch instead of point. If we eX-
anime the under surface with a micro
scope after the separation of the cuticle
the peculiar and characteristic space be-
tween the two cells of the stOmata is
readily perceived. The long, unicellular
hairs of the tea-leaf are also peculiar
The employment of caustic potash is de.
sirable in observing these characters. In
the sloe-leaf the serratures are direct IN
cisions, numerous, often irregular, and
extending down to the base. There are
no spines. The hairs are shorter and
coarser than those of the tea-leaf, and
are marked in a peculiar manner. The
elder-leaf is more pointed than that of
the ea-plant, and the lUbes are unequal
at the base. The serratures are direct
incisions. The midriff has hairs on it,
and on the leaf itself there are several
kinds of hairs, notably short, spinOus,
stria.ed hair, which occurs on the upper
surface. The serratures of the willow
leaf much resemble those of tea, but the
cell-walls of both the upper and under
epidermis differ from those of the tea
leaf in not being sinuous, and there are
lorg. coarse, strIated hairs. When per-
feet, the elongated form of the willow
leaf sufficiently distinguishes it from tea,
and the venation is also entirely differ
ent. The chief foreign leaves added by
the Chinese are those of ChL0rGRthus in
cOnsptcuuS and of Camellta spsrBqlid, the
latter of which presents a close resem-
blance to the tea-plant."

A Strange Dream Fulfilled.

Rev. l.. w Lewis, in his "reminiscences

markabe instance as literally true. The

Williams had told dream to many of
his fsllOw-sOldiers, some Of whom had

Failure or Success i'm Life.

HERE are useful suggestions from a
member of the British Parliament, Lord
Derby, who is "a robust, manly man. He
says:
Take two men, if they could be
found, exactly alike in mental and bodily
aptitudes and let one 90 on carelessly
and idly, indulglng his appetites and
generally leading life of pleasure, and
let the other train himself by early hours,
by temperate habits, and by giving to
muscles and brain each their fair share of
employment, and at the end of two or
three years they will be as wide apart in
their capacity for eXertion as if they had
been born with wholly different constitu-
tions. Without a normal healthy cOndi-
ton there can, as rule, he no good
work; and though that qualification can
not absolutely be secured or preserved
by any rules, little common sense and
care will go a long way both in securing
and preserving it. On that point ] would
give you these hints: First, That it is not
mental labor that hurts anybody, unless
the excess be very great, but rather fret
ting and fdgeting over the prospect of
labor to be gone through; so that the
man who can accustOm himself 10 take
things coolly, which is quite as much a
ndlicF Ol ulSClpllnt as vi hatuIe, anu
who, by keeping well beforehand with
what he has to do, avoids undue hurry
and nervous excitement, has great ad-
vantage over one who follows "a different
practice. Next ! would warn you that
those students who think they have no
time for bodily exercise will sooner or
later have to find time for illness. Third,
when an opportunity of choice is given,
morDinp work is upnprallv better than
night work; and lastly-a matter which
| should not stop to alude to but that
know the dangers of an over-driven exist
ence in a crowded town-if man cannot
get through his days labor, of whatever
kind it may be, without artificial sup
port, it should be a serious considerable n
for him whether that kind OF labor is fit
for him at all"-From Me PtrenOi0gicdi
