Early Migration to America.

1t is generally believed by antiquari-
ans that the early settlers in the United
States who built the mounds in the
Western States were of the race that
built the pyramids of Coahuily and Mi
ira, and the temples of Yucatan, Mex
leo and Peru. Until quite recently no
investigations had thrown light on the
origin of this race, or how they reached
America. But some curious facts, late
ly learned, are very suggestive.
In a mound in the Mississippi Valley
was found vessel thirteen inches high,
made of grayish clay, having on its
surface four pair of skeleton hands. A
sailor, who saw it accidentally, said it
was an exact pattern of water coolers
used by the Malay Islanders. The fin
der of the urn learned by experiment,
that it was admirably fitted for this pur-
pose, and made Ice needless in Arkansas
An idol was found in another mound in
Tennessee, which is perfect likeness of
idols used in Japan. A kind of wild
wheat grows in the peighborhood of
Memphis which is identical with some
wheat raised in the same vicinity from
grains taken from sarcophagus in
Egypt. Such facts seem to prove that
tn s race of mound builders must have
come to America from the eastern coast
of Asia, or from Egypt. The migration
was probably to the Pacific rather than
to the Atlantic cost

NUMBER 10.
Canadian Wheat Crop Prospects.

1t seems that our Canadian neighbors
have hecn enduring the same pangs-in
prospect-of n wheat famine as we were
treated to by the "bulls" in wheat dur
ing the month of April, when the wheat
market of the West advanced 15a20c on
the prospect of general winter killing
throughout the winter wheat States.
This same thing was done, or rather
overdone. in Canada, it seems, from our
Toronto exchanges, until much uneasi-
meas had been caused IN commercial as
well as financial circles in that province,
as the general prosperity depends largely
npon a good winter-wheat crop. This
state of affairs seems to have been
brought about nearly one month later
there than here, however. In an editor
ial article from the Monetary Times, Of
Toronto, it Is stated, after careful exam
ination 10y the writer, that there has been
great improvement since the warm
weather set in, but that up to the first
week in May the prospects were very
bad, and in hilly lands there are even
now many bare spots. In other locali.
titles, and especially on heavy soils, "the
prospects seldom if ever were better for
bountifnl crops" In the large wheat
producing districts lying adjacent to the
Wellington, Grey and Bruce Railway,
reports indicate that the Fall wheat gem
orally looks excellent, and there is good
reason to believe that on the whole the
crop will be quite up to the average.

A String Of Pearls.


Character is the Diamond that scratches
every other stone.
All flowers will droop in absence Of
the sun that walked their sweets.
The imagination is Of 70 delicate
texture that even words wound il.
A mans own safety is a god that
sometimes makes very grim demands.
The mind wears the colors Of the soul,
as the valet does those Of his master.
Sin is the fruitful parent Of disten-
pers; and i'll lives occasion good physi-
clans.
There is no vice so simple but assumes
some mark of virtue on its outward
parts.
He who surpasses or subdues man.
kind, must look down on the fate Of
those below.
Prosperity seems to be scarcely safe,
unless it is mixed with a little adversi-
ty.
Success has great tendency to con-
ceal and throw a veil over the evil deeds
of men.
Weariness can snore upon the flint,
when restive Sloth finds the downy pill
low hard.
Frank Sincerity, though no invited
guest, is free to all, and brings his well
come with him.
Truth is the shortest and nearest way
to our end, carrying us thither in a
straight line.
Cheerfulness makes the mind clearer,
gives tone TO thought, and adds grace
and beauty to the countenance.
The human soul is hospitable, and
will entertain conflicting sentiments and
contradictory opinions with much i'm
partiality.

AbOut Hating.

Hate not. 1t is not worth while
Your life is not long enough to make
it pay to cherish iIl-will or hard
thoughts toward any one. What if that
man has cheated yon, or that woman
has played you false? What il this
friend has forsaken you in Jour time of
need, or that one, having won your ut
most confidence, your warmest love, has
concluded that me perfers to consider and
treat yon as a stranger? Let it all pass.
What difference will it make to you. in a
few years, when You go hence TO the un-
discovered country" All who ill-treat
you now will be more sorry for it then,
than you, even in your deepest disap-
pointment and grief, can be.
A few more smiles, few more tears,
some pleasure, much pain, n little long
er hurrying and worrying through the
world, some hasty greetings, and abrupt
farewells, and our play will be "played
out" and the injured will be led away,
and ere long forgotten. Is 1t worth
while to hate each other?

A Tough Customer.

Some men will die of a scratched i'm
amount of butchery, can make an end
of. Among the latter class, Joseph Reed,
of Nashville, is fairly entitled to men
tion. He shot a police officer while in
the heat of passion, as he claimed, and
thereafter his existence was an agoniz-
ing fear of death. When he was cap
tured, and was driven through excited
crowds to the Jail, he expected death at
every moment, and doubtless suffered
the pain of many deaths in anticipation
of what was to come. Then he was
mobbed. While the mob was besieging
the Jail, his suffering was again of un-
told intensity, and there can be no ques-
tion he would gladly have exchanged
places with his victim. Powerless to
escape or resist, he was torn from his
cell and dragged by the infuriated crowd
to the bridge. On the way he was ter
one ball passing through his cheek and
another lodging in the back of his
head. At the bridge, rope was noosed
around his neck, and he was thrown
over, to break his neck or strangle to
death Neither fate was destined to be
his. The rope broke, or the moose slip
ped, and he fell to the bottom of the
bluff. More dead than alive, he still
thought of escape. Jerking the moose
from his neck, he plunged into the riv-
er, and contrived to conceal himself in
pile of driftwood. while the mob was
searching for his body. The search
over, he swan and foated down the riv-
er until he saw fit to land, when he stag
gered to house in which he found ref
uge. His wounds were dressed by the
physician i'll charge of the Marine Hos
pital, and he remained in concealment
during several days, and finally escaped
from a city whose memory must hence
forth be to him horrible nightmare.
The Nashville people do not appear to
have pursued him, probably being
ashamed of the mob spirit which they
had permitted to take possession of
them, and it will be the opinion of peo-
pie elsewhere that he has been sufficient
ly punished. His late experience may
be expected to deter him from killing
any more men, in the heat of passion or
otherwise.

Thirst at Sea.

Thirst on land is bad enough, but
thirst at sea, with water everywhere, YET
not drop to drink, is ten times worse
OF the agony which it occasions we NAV
form some conception when we read, as
in the case Of a late shipwreck, Of the
survivors Of a boats crew greedily
drinking the blood of their dead com
rades. No one knows what his evil for.
tune may one day bring him to endure
For the benefit of the reader, therefore
we make note of the following ques-
tiOn pnt by the Board of Trade Exami-
ners to the candidates for certificates of
competency as mates in the English
merchant service:
"What would you do in order to al
lay thirst, with nothing but sea water
at hand?"
The answer is, "Keep the clothes, es-
pecially the shirt, soaked with water" "
Drinking salt water to allay thirst drives
the sufferer mad; but external applica.
tion of it gives relief, if it does not quite
satisfy the demands of craving nature.
1t is pity that this simple yet truly
scientific remedy is known to but very
few ofthose who tempt the troacherous
main.

A Steam Boat to Compete with Rail
Road Train.

Clark Smith, of Cornwall, has just
had issued to him letters patent for an
endless chain water-wheel for propelling
steamboats, through the water. Mr.
Smith claims that boat furnished with
wheel such az he was invented will be
driven through the water at much
greater speed with the same power BY
the wheel now in use but few paddles
take hold upon the water at the same
time. With the endless chain arrange
ment nearly one half of the paddles
take hold upon the water. 1t would be
impossible for us to give a minute de-
scription of this invention. Should it
accomplish the half that the inventor
claims, it must revolntionize steam nav
igation. He claims that boat furnish
ed with his invention can compete with
the speed of n railroad train.

Useful Information.

To cure bridle-breaking, get piece
of BEDFORD, four times the length of the
horse and double it in the middle, and
at the doubled end make loop, through
which pass the animals tail. Then
cross the cord over his back, and pass
both ends through the halter ring under
his chin and tie both ends of the cord
to the trough ring, through which the
halter strap plays, the end of the halter
being attached to a billet of wood.
Should the horse attempt to pull back
the strain will all be on the root of his
tail before the halter strap will become
frightened, and he will at once step for
ward to avoid l.. After so fixing him a
few times in the stable he will abandon
any such propensity.
The best conducted experiments prove
conclusively that as destroyer of in
sects and vermin, whether upon man or
plants, the most effective remedy that
can be used is carholic acid. On small
plants. whose tender, early shoots are
subject to the depredations of the fly
and worm, its destructive effects are in
stantaneous. To use it properly, dis
solve an ounce of carbolic acid crystals
in three quarts of warm water, and
shower the solution over the plants from
a. common watering-pot. One such ap-
plication will suffice for the time, but
should be administered as occasion re-
quires, and few such showers will ef-
fectually rid the plants of all such pests.
In order to ascertain the gain in
weight of growing cattle, an experiment
was tried as follows: A short-horn bull
calf was weighed on the 18th of April,
1874, when he was just fourteen months
old, and his weight was found TO be five
hundred and three pounds. May 18th
he weighed FIVE hundred and ninety
three pounds; June 18th, seven hundred
and three pounds; July 18th, eight hun
dred and one pounds; August 18th, eight
and eighty-six pounds; and
18th, nine hundred and six
tv-six pounds; a total gain in five
months of four hundred and sixty three
pounds, or ninety-two and one-half
pounds per month.

A Kentucky Prehistoric City.

Mr.. Green Bolts, the owner of n farm
at Peeled Oak, on Slate Creek, noted
section Of Bath county. in plousning up
about sixty acres of level land this
spring, discovered the ruins of a city of
regular streets, curbed with stone, and
evincing a higher order of architectural
knowledge and a greater civilization
than any other prehistoric remains yet
found in this country. Many years ago
a faint trace of similar city was notic-
ed in Montgomery county near Mount
Sterling; but the owners of the land
having little taste for backward re-
searches, almost or entirely obliterated
the evidences to make room for corn
growing. This being fresh discovery
we have no doubt it will be visited by
Professor Shaler and the archeologists
and the prehistorians of the country at
large. The land adioins a large tract

Pistol balls seem to deal curiously
with editors. Mr. Carruth is walking
abont with ball in his brain, and the
case of Colonel Anthony, of Leaven-
worth, Kansas, is scarcely less remarka-
BILE. A physician who has carefully
watched him explains that the ball
severed the sub clavian artery in the
third part. This artery lies two inches
below the. upper border of the collar
bone and is rooted over by muscles and
covered by various tissues, with no un-
derlying bone. 1t is in close proximity
to important nerves and blood-vessels,
injury to which would be as fatal as
bleeding from the artery itself. There
is no place where the artery can be
compressed between the wound and the
heart. The bleeding was stopped at first
by the use of styptics. Since then q
clot has formed which temporarily closes
the wound, but this will probably
slough off on or before the twentieth
day, and death will then ensue.

At abont twenty miles from Berlin is
situated the village of Sperenberg, noted
for the deepest well that has ever been
sunk. Owing to the presence of gypsum
in the locality, which is at a moderate
distance from the Capital, il occurred to
the Government authorizes of the mines
to obtain a supply of rock salt With
this end in view, the sinking Of a shaft
or well 16 feet in diameter was COM
menced some five years ago, and at u
depth of $50 feet the salt was reached
The boring was continued to the further
depth of 960 feet, the diameter of the
bore being reduced to about Is inches
The operations were subsequently prose-
cuted by the aid of steam until depth
of 4 4,l94 feet was attained. At this
point the boring was discontinued, the
borer being still in the salt deposits,
which thus exhibit the enormous thick
ness of 2,907 feet.

SpOnging ON Newspapers.

Every man thinks newspaper fair,
game. If a society or any body Of men
get up a concert or ball, or other form
or entertainment, the object of which is
to put money in their pockets, or, if the
proceeds are to be devoted to charitable
purposes TO add TO their own glorifica-
tion, they become very indignant if the
proprietors Of n newspaper do not assist
them by a series of gratuitous advertis-
ments for several weeks before the event
takes place. These gentlemen should
remember that literary men, in this
practical age, work for money, as we'll
as for fame, principally for the former,
however, and the business manager Of
a newspaper, if he wishes TO keep on the
safe side Of the ledger, conducts his
charge on the same principle as the
head of any business establishment.
People who are getting up ball would
feel chary Of asking present Of pair
Of gloves from any merchant on that ac-
connt, yet asking and expecting TO re-
ceive "A gratuitous advertisement Is a
similar demand.
