A CURIOUS RELIC.

The San Bernardino (Cal. Times thus
describes recent find in that vicinity:
4 teamstcr on the railroad, while bathing
! ia Whitewater, some thirty miles east of
! San Bernardino, observed a dark, circu-
lar object in the stream, which, on being
brought to the surface, proved to be q
| truly marvellous piece of workmanship.
| The article in question is composed of
a certain peculiar slate-colored stone,
similar to that usually employed by the
Indians of British Columbia for the
manufacture of pipes, and is not found
anywhere IN this state. In form it is
circular, being somewhat shaped like a
large dinner-plate the bottom for about
SIX inches in diameter is perfectly
smooth, and has a circular orifce in the
center about half an inch IN diameter.
Howard the rim it presents a singularIy
convex appearance this rim on the out
er surface is surrounded with Il wreath
of grapevines, so faultlessIy engraved
that even the most minute Gbers of the
leaves are clearly outlined. On the up
per surface OF the rim is peculiar bor-
der, composed first OF two parallel lines
extending around the entire rim, with
an interval Of about two inches between
the lines in the centre of these lines
running at right angles, at regular inter
walls, are smaller lines converging from
the inner line IL the form Of quarter
circles, meeting in the centre, where
they pass through ovals, ending Oh the
outer line i'll the centre of a crescent
facing outward while travorsing the
whole Is a waving line extending around
the centre OF the outer lines. The cen
tre of this curious work, however, is the
most astonishing portion. On it appears
muyelously beautiful and faultlessIy
executed wreath of flowers, leaves, vines,
and scroll-work, every bud, leaf, and
flower being perfectly natural and life
like to the minutest details. The whole
is polished in the highest manner, and
is rs smooth as glass. The entire work
manship, in beauty Of design, and deli
cacy of finish, excels the choicest pro-
duetions Of modern artists, ana shows
that the people by whom it was execut-
ed had reached an advanced stage Of
civilization. Il is almost with q feel
ing of reverence Shat we gaze upon this
relic Of past race, Of whom no history
has yet been found, other than the ruins
scattered on the plains, and whose origin
and history is enveloped in impenetrable
obscurity, which probably never viii be
penetrated. Tie plate is in q remark
able state OF preservation, owing, no
doubt, to the indestructable quality of
the stone of which it is composed.

NORTH CAROLINA MONDE
SCRIPT.

The Journal, Of Newbern, \. c., says:
Asa Grandy, a coiored resident OF Kits
swamp, relates n strange aud startling
I incident that occurred in his immediate
neighborhood on Thursday last, and
which has occasioned considerable ex-
element and alarm among the inhabit-
ants. 1t appears that for some time past
strange-looking animal has OCCASION
ally been seen, by different parties, lurl1-
ing on the outskirts of the forest be-
tween sundown and dark, but until re-
Gently no one had been able to approach
the stranger near enough to describe its
appearance. From the description given
by Asa, we conclude il to be a nonies-
cript which B.srnun, the great show
man, would be glad to possess, even at
an expense of thousands of dollars It's
face in appearance is quite similar to
that of the Wanleroo, having & long
snowy beard or name, while its body
though from the knees down, its feet and
limbs are III shape and form precisely
human. In height it would measure
about five feet, while its volume around
the chest would eclipse the Cardiff giant.
Asa states that this nondescript has for
several weeks past been preying upon
poultry, garden vegetables and green
corn to an alarming extent, when on
Thursday morning last, while his little
girl of five years was ut play in the corn
crib with neighbor's child, and him
self at work stripping fodder in the field
near by, he heard the children scream
ing, the dogs furiously barking, and his
wife loudly calling for assistance, where
upon he swiftly ran toward the point
from whence the cries proceeded, and at
the edge Of the corn field met face to
face this singular being, with the chill
dren in each paw, making directly to-
ward the woods. st the Sudden APP
proach Of Asa, the animal, being taken
by surprise, halted for moment, and
as it partially turned to change its
course, d we'll directed blow felled it to
the earth and the children escaped with
out injury; but before it's capture could
be accomplished it sprang from the
ground and with lightning rapiditly gain
ed the covering Of the wood, where all
traces of its whereabouts remain as yet
q mystery, though the forests for miles
around have been thoroughly searched.
Much excitement and fear prevail
throughout that section, and no mother
viii again rest i'll peace until this strange
intruder is captured and rendered harm
less

MORE EVIDENCE E.-Referring to the
course Of Treasury Agent Ebert up in
Washington County, the State Register
tells how this greedy official cleaned out
a poor boy on the Portage road, as fol
lows
Another instance of DR.. Ebert ''svigi-
lance is that when he or his agent re-
quired the lad Philip, who sells peanuts
and apples on the Madison and Portage
Railroad, to take out license to peGdle
the lad, under the threats Of the agent,
actually borrowed the money and paid
the license he demanded
Eight thousand dollars in fees, is what
Ebert made in seventeen months by his
operations, we believe. Or did he make
more? The farmers who have been for
ced to pay are not allowed information
on this point. The books are closed to
the people.

How The T1sANco-I1.UssaIA2z WAI. WAS
Arsene Houssaye relates Il legend which
is said to have been told among the most
exclusive diplomatic circles III France,
| regarding the part the Empress Eugene
took in starting the Franco -Prussian
war. After the more or less pacific ex-
plantations Of the last interview at Ems
with Count Benedetti, there was q coun-
Gil at night at the Tuileries, at which
peace was peremptorily decided upon by
the emperor, who was the most prudent
OF the party, because he hated bloodshed
and who did not think CORY baptism
was necessary to the conservation of the
prince imperial But there were two
sovereigns at that time on the throne.
Beside the emperor reigned the en-
preess. When everything was peacefully
decided, the emperor, who was then Ill,
went to bed, like Titus, content with
his days work. But the empress was
more wakeful. In her turn she held q
council with the duke Of Gramont, and
through pure gallantry he left too much
of the talking to the empress, who tho't
that war was the only salvation of France
and who when she said France always
meant her son. She took possession of
every one. She was really eloquent in
talking of the national dignity she said
that the emperor's good heart would
gain both France and the dynasty. Be-
sides, all the newspapers and all the
Deputies were for war. It would not do
to swim against the current. They
would gain the Rhine with one battle !;
they would chastise Germany and return
triumphal with the peace of Europe Sc
cured for q century. Everybody was
convinced, the duke of Gramont alone,
perhaps, having doubts of all these fine
things. But as it was woman who was
speaking he had the gallantry not to
oppose her. They walked up the emperor
and extorted from him the declaration
of war. And thus did France lose two
provinces and five milliards.

AMONG the delegates to the recent
Democratic State Convention from Fond
du Lac County, was one II. Il. Dodd.
Many persons viii recollect that q man
named Dodd became quite CONSPICUOUS
during the war for his reasonable utter
anccs and as one Of the leader of the
Knights Of the Golden Circle, and that
the Government finally found it neces-
sary to arrest him. And now it trans
pires that -Dodd, the outspoizen SYM
patIlizer with the rebellion and the
Knight Of the. Golden Circle, andiDodd,
the delegate to the Democratic State
Convention, are one and the same per-
son. Our attention has been called to
this fact by the following paragraph III
The indianapolis Journal:
This IL. II. Dodd was formerly a resident of
the city, and leader Of the Democracy Dur
ing the war he was arrested for completely in
the reasonable movements inaugurateG by the
knights OF the GoIdcn Circle but during the
period OF lis temporary confinement i'll the
post-oifice building he made his escape from an
time past he has been living in Wisconsin, and
now, it seems, is resllming his natural position

We respectfully submit to the loyal
people Of Wisconsin whether the ticket
that this rebel Dodd assisted in nominat-
ing and VIII no doubt zealously support,
is not a very good ticket to vote against.

A ROYAL R0MANCE.

A correspondent Of a London paper
writes as follows: The young wife of
the grand Duke Alexis OF Russia, son Of
the czar, has just been divorced by the
tribunal of ST. Petersburg. She was Il
Hessian, and in that quality had been
accepted by the Empress Maria Alex
androwna as maid of honor. Her
majesty was rapidly captivated by her
young countrywonnan, who speedily be-
came her favorite. Another conquest,
of still greater Importance, awaited the
young lady in the Muscovite empire.
Not absolutely pretty, but endowed with
that grace which bewitches more than
beauty, possessing a charming figure
and incompatible elegance, she inspired
the young grand duke with an irresisti-
ble passion. One evening, the empress
saw enter her apartment the maid of
honor bathed in tears, who, throw
ing herself at her maiesty's feet,
avowed her love, and besought the czar-
lna's consent to the marriage. That
same night the young lady was put into
a railway carriage, and, under good es-
cort, conducted to the frontier, whilst
the Grand Duke Alexis received orders
to rejoin his ship. But the czar had recl1-
oned without the determination Of the
two lovers. The prince escaped, reioin-
ed his finance beyond the Rhine, and
married her in German territory, not
withstanding the paternal fulminations,
and then left with her for America. The
romance lasted for two years, and moth
ing could bend the determination of the
emperor, nor restore the son to his favor,
when the influence Of the empress, be-
ing brought to bear on the son, deter
mined the latter to accept his fathers
conditions. It was decided that the
grand duke should consent to a divorce,
resume his situation in the Russian navy,
and that an annuity should be settled on
the heroine of the romance. It was i'm
mediately after that the prince was in
London with the czar. The formalities
of the divorce were completed last week.

The BALLOON SPIDER.--In a recent
address before the Smithsonian Insti-
tute, DR.. Lincecune gives the following
interesting report Of the curious little
balloon spider and its work: IT once
observed one of those spiders at work
in the upper corner Of an open outside
door shutter. She was spinning gos-
samer, of which she was forming a bal
loon, and clinging to her thorax was a
cluster of minute young spiders. She
finished up the body Of the balloon, and
threw out the long bow-Iines, which
we're tapping and futtering in the now
gently increasing breeze. Several min
utes before she got ready for the as
cension she seemed to be fixing the bot
tom and winding her hammock-shaped
balloon; and now, the breeze being
suitable, she moved to the cable in the
stern, severed il. and her craft bounded
upward, and, soaring northward, was
soon beyond the scope of observation.
