THE MOUND-BUILDERS.
Traces of Their Work in Mississippi-R
markRbIe Prehistoric Discovery.

Traces of Their Work in Mississippi-Re-
markable Prehistoric Discovery.
Prof. James r. Gage, of Washington
City, an eminent geologist and mineralo-
glst, who has recently been engaged in
making extensive explorations regarding
the works of the ancient mound builders,
reports the discovery of q very remark
able wall IN Claiborne county, eighteen
miles east OF Port Gibson, Miss. The
discovery has been incidentally men,
toned in several papers within the course
OF few days, but they do not appear to
have realized 1.-THE of its antiquarian
and archaeological interest and impor-
lance. We condense the particulars of
the discovery from the Professors state
ment In the Washington Republic It
appears that blocks of the stone have
been taken by the farmers for building
purposes for many years, and it has
formed general quarry for furnishing
large blocks of stone. But the farmers
have never, it seems, been aware of the
antiquarian Importance of this wall,
which Is claimed to be coeval or anterior
to that OF Hadrian's famous wall In En-
gland. Prof. Gage employed laborers
and uncovered a portion of the wall 20
feet in width and It's feet in length; but
on removing the soil here and there he
traced it 800 feet. The workmen uncov-
cred the wall to depth of six feet, but
lower than this the excavations were not
continued. Large forest trees of pine
and oak, several hundred years old, are
growing on top of the wall The blocks
are limestone, and belong to the ter
tiary formation. They were hewn out
OF this formation and are three feet in
length, twenty inches in width and
twenty two inches in thickness. One of
these blocks has been shipped to Phila-
delphia for the Centennial. The wall
from which it was taken forms two sides
OF rectangler, one part running east
and west and the other north and south
The excavations were made near the
angle. Three miles due south from this
point another portion of the wall reap
pears on the banks of Bayou Pierce, ow-
ing to the washing out of the creek,
making it a large exposure, and it is
therefore judged that this is continue
ton OF the ancient wall. The wall was
built on the side of ridge overlooking
a swamp which, in ancient times, was
evidently the bed OF a lake, and the In
ference is that the wall was erected by
the ancient occupants as q barrier
against an enemy, Or possibly as an an
Gent levee or dyke erected for the pro-
lection of the inhabitants against the en-
croachments of the lake or the waters of
the Mississippi. From other evidences
of the wide extent of this wall, as de-
scribed by Prof. Gage, it appears that it
included large area of land, covering
probably 400 square miles, and extend
ing to the Mississippi river. The local.
ty where the wall exists is in the neigh
borhood of the Natchez Indians, who
were found in state of considerable
civilization when first visited by the
French, and these remains. it is con-
jectured by Prof. Gage, had some con-
nection with the occupation by the war
like ancestors Of this interesting and
famous tribe.

When Mr.. Nathan Tripler reached his

whole vicinage ransacked, and was now

walked straight in and put both arms
around her.
".Here I am, Dottie Don't cry any

But Mrs. Tripler cried more than ever.
"Its only a DREAM she sobbed forth.
/" Nathan is dead"
No, I'm not Dead said Mr.. Tripler,
with grim sense of humor, /" only I've
been mad" And quieting his wife's
sobs after while, he told her all his adj

The Woes Of Herzegovina.

The full text of the pronunciamento
issued to the European Envoys by the
Herzegovinian Chiefs contains an elo-
quent statement of the grievances which
led them to revolt against their Turkish
oppressors. It is brief and concise, but
full of dignity and energy, and forms an
Indictment against the cruelty, injustice
and oppression of then, Turkish tyrants
which will command for them the SYM
pathy of the whole civilized world, and
the decision that they are right in taking
up arms to free themselves from their
miseries. The catalogue of these
miseries is a fearful one. Under pain of
being scourged and sent to prison, every
cultivator of the ground must give half
his produce to the Ago, or official who
allows him to cultivate, and four times a
year he must entertain the Aga, his fol-
lowers and horses. The owner of farm
In Herzegovina has an agreement with
the State officials by which he exacts ten
times the amount of rent fixed by the
law. The Turkish census enumerators
let free their own co-reigionists, but
treble the amount of imposts upon Chris
tians, thus making them pay not only
their own but also the Turkish share of
taxes. In litigation, Christian pro-
ceeding against Turk must have two
Turkish witnesses, and if he loses mis-
case he is thrown into prison. The wives
and daughters of Christensen carried off
by Turksand compelled byforce to adopt
the creed of Islam. IL q Christian bears
witness against Turk, he can only live
three days. The Christian churches are
publicly defiled by the Turks. The
Christians pay an educational tribute to
the Sultan, but are not allowed to have
any schools. Repairs upon the roads
must be made by Christians, but the
Turks are freed from this duty. If
Turkish troops need horses, they are
taken from the Christians without recon-
pense. II a Turk complains before a
tribunal, he can get Immediate justice.
If Christian makes complaint, he
cannot get decision without bribing
the Judge ten times the amount of the
claim. There is no integrity or justice
and no security under Turkish rule.
Such is brief summary of their grounds
of complaint
Hopeless as the case of Herzegovina
may appear, fighting single-handed
against her powerful tyrants, and de-
barred from the active sympathy OF Eu-
ropean nations by their own prejudices
and schemes for national aggrandise-
ment, it is impossible not to admire the
manly spirit of their statement. They
may not win freedom, but they de-
serve it.
