The Mississippi.

Mr.. Bancroft remarks in the tenth vo'.me
of his History Of the United States. jus:
out:
The Mississippi river is The guardian ard
the pledge of the Union of the States Of
America. Had they been confined 10 the
eastern slope Of the Alleghenies there would
have been no geographical unity between
them, and the thread of connection be: ween
lands that merely fringed the Atlantic Inuss
soon have been sundered. The Father Of
Rivers gathers his waters from all The
clouds that break between the Alleghenies
and the furthest ranges of the Rocky Mouns
tains. The ridges OF the eastern chain bow
their heads at the North and at the South.
so that long before science became the come
panion of man nature herself pointed out to
the barbarous races how short portages join
his tributary rivers to those of the Atlantis
coast. At the other side his Mightest arm
interlOcks with the arms of the Oregon
and the Colorado, and by the conformation
OF the earth itself, marshals highways Co
the Pacific. From his remotest springs
he refuses 60 suffer his waters to
be divided; but as he bears them all 10
the bosom Of the ocean the myriads Of tlags
tina: wave above his head are all the en-.
signs of one great people. States larger
than kingdoms flourish where he passes.
and beneath his steps cities start into being
more marvellous in their reality than tabled
creations Of enchantment. His magnificent
valley, lying in the best part OF the temper.
ate zone, saiubrious, wonderfully fertile, is
the chosen muster ground of the most va.
yious Of human culture brought together
by men summoned from all the civilized
nations of the EARTH and oined in the bonds
of common citizenship by the strong, invis.
ible attraction Of republican freedom. Nov
What ecience has come 60 be the household
friend Of trade and commerce and travel.
and that nature has lent to wealth and in.
tellecs her constant forces, the hills, once
walls Of division, are scaled or pierced or
leveled; and the two oceans, between which
the republic has unassailably intrenche1
itself against the outward world, are bound
together across the continent by friendly
links Of iron.

borders to look no further, but settle right
down in it's midst. If the South doubts the
wisdom Of our advice, let it look at the
great West-at Illinois, Indiana. Iowa.
Wisconsin, California, the natural cut.
growth Of just the same carpet-bagism tina:
is being driven from the South today.
Gentlemen of the South. put up your shot
guns; break the blades of your bowie
knives; turn your calico to better use than
making masks for midnight marauders;
throw off your coats for earnest labor in
the field, workshop, factory, and then ex-
tend a cordial invitation to any one who
has strong muscles and is willing to work
to come in and enjoy the fruits Of industry
and enterprise. A few years Of this whole
some practice will win for you more than
you have lost, and make your States lead
ere IN enterprise, power and wealth.-Rc.

OLD TIME AND /.
BY MARX LEMON

Old Time and I the other night
Had u carouse together;
The wine was golden, warm and bright
Az! just like summer weather.
Quoth l, There's Christmas cone again;
And I no farther richer
Time answered, "Ah! the old. Old strain
Iprythee pass the pitcher.
"Why measure all your good in gold!
No rope Of sand 10 weaker:
Ills hard to get, tis hard to hold
Come lad, I'LL up your beaEeT.
Hast thou not found true friends more trn-
And loving ones more loving"
could but say, "A few--a few;
So keep the liquor moving"
"Hast thou not seen the prosperous knave
Come down precious thumper-
His cheats disclOsedf' II have-I have'
well, surely that's bumper"
Nay, hold a while; I've seen the just
Find all their hopes grow DINNER"
"They will hope on and strive. and tIus:,
And cOnqucsn' That's . briInmer.
"'Tis not because to-day is dark
No brighter days before EN-:
There's rest for every storm tossed bark"
$50 be it! Pass the jOrum
''Yet must own l should not mind
To be a little richer"
Labor and wait, and you may find
JellC an empty pitcher"

POTTERY OF THE MOUND-BUILDERS.

The sO-called pottery of the Mound Builders
Totecs Of South America and Mexico and furnishes
other link the chain OF evidence which trace
these remarkable people 10 a common origin.
The pottery from the mounds Of Indiana represented
by great variety Of vessels fashioned after quaint
designs adapted to multtudinous Jugs with
long necks and necks terminated by figures made to
represent the heads OF men, quadrupeds and BIRDS pots
with and shaped like the ordinary cast iron dinner
pot of today drinking cups; basins Of great sze used
for making salt by solar eyapOration smoking pipes
etc.. etc.
great many whole vessels and fragments Of this
ware have been examined by me from all parts OF tho
Western States, and have been unable to find any
evidence Of having been hardened by fire. do
believe it sun-baked. 1t is composed Of mix
ture mud and most generally pulyerlzed fresh
shells, united In such proportions as to make
cement that hardens In the air. or, when exposed to
moisture like the concrete of the ancient Romans and
may consequently. be classed artificial stone. In
chemical composition 1t agrees very closely with the
concrete made OF ordinary cement stones.
These facts lead to the conclusion that the art OF
manufacturing concrete or artificial stone did not
was alike understood by the earliest aD0riginees OF
America.
Though it is my opinion that the sOcalled pottery Of
the MOund-Builders was fashioned by hand without
tho use Of lathe yet am convinced that the ancient
pottery of Peru and other South American states
largely made OF pieces formed by pressing the cement
into molds and these pieces were subsequently united
together form the entire vessel The lines Of union
The numerous tubercles and other raised ornaments
which the surfaces OF jugs vases &c. could only
have formed In this do not, however, find
any pottery OF the MOundBuders that would lead to
mold 1t In parts to fashion In any other than
by hands.

The first census of the country was taken

differences treated second difference Tor completing
the series the population for the year 1880 was estimated

group showed marked increase over the former AS
