In the SILVER STATE, but said nothing
of their exploits and adventures. They
were terror to women and children
while up here. They even alarmed
emigrsnts and frightened the horses of
a party SO that three of them broke
loose and ran away. The emigrants
knew not what to make of it aud be-
lieved the sportsmen were near sighted
and mistook them for Indians. At Ben
Rileys they terrified the children with
the rattle of shot which fell like hail
around them they ran to the house and
kept indoors until the sportsmen ceased
firing. They blazed away indiscrimi-

chickens. Were 1t not that SO many
are aware that this was the result OF

violating the game laws. At one time
two of them cut loose at the same bird,
which rose midway between them, and

The Widows Way,

A gentleman of an autobiographical turn
relates how he was instructed in the custom
of taking toll, by q sprightly widow, during
moonlight sleighride with merry party
He says:
The lovely Widow L. sat in the same
sleigh, and under the same robe, with me-
"Oh! oh! don't. dOn't!' she exclaimed, as
we came to the first bridge, at the same
time catching me by the arm and turning
her vailed face toward me. while her little
eyes twinkled through the moonlight
Don't whatr' l asked. I'm not doing
anything"
''Well but thought you were going to
take toll" replied the widow.
''Toll!' rejoined. Whats that"
Well declared cried the widow, her
clear laugh ringing out above the music of
the bells, you pretend you don't know
what toll ISL
Indeed 1 don't, them" l said, laughing;
explain, if you please"
you never heard, then,' said the widow,
most provokingly-"you never heard that
when we are on a sleigh ride the gentlemen
always-thatis is, sometimes-when they cross
bridge claim a kiss, and call it toll. But
never pay it

when we came to the next bridge | claimed

Tweed and Tildeu,

Hundreds of persons in this city had a
great load of fear taken from their minds
when they hea I'd that Tweed had escaped.
Their one wish now is that he may never
be heard of again.
Yet We must say tn at we hope that he
will still be heard from, and at the very
least that we shall get from him the pro-
missed "secret history" How many sue.
cessful politicians, and how many who hope
to become successful, would ito borrow
Mr.. Wilkeson's famous phrase-"knock
higher than kitel' We should not then
have the small fry of the Tammany ring
going before grand juries and asking for
indictments against the Times for libel.
Could even Mr.. Tiden afford to have
Tweed's story fully toldl Mr.. Tilden is now
Governor of the State, but in 1870 and 1871
he was chairman of the Democratic State
committee, and knew perfectly well what
enormous amounts of money were being
used in this st ate to control the elections.
Where did he suppose that money came
from! Did he fancy that, like Topsv, it
"growed ?" Mr.. Tilden has shown great
deal of shrewdness since in ferretting out
the disposal of some of tie ring plumber.
Yet we are to suppose that he had not the
slightest idea how Tweed's election funds
were raised. Perhaps he though that
the bankrupt chair maker had cOme into
possession OF little private fortune. Mr.
Tilden also knew that not only were vast
sums of money spent at election time, but
that the ballot boxes were opened and talsi-
fed after the votes were all in. He knew
it then as well as we all know it now. Mr..
Greeley openly charged him with that
acknowledgement, indeed, how could he pos
sibly have been KEEP in ignorance on the
subject There is no man in the State who
knows so well how many votes district
can fairly bring out-and when he saw
that number multiplied ten or twenty fold,
is it likely that he was in any doubt as to
the means by which the result had been ac
complished How much did Tweed spend
every year ont of the stolen money, on
elections for the benefit Of his party, while
Mr. Tilden was chairman of the Demo-
cratic State committee? Let Tweed tell the
truth-the public will not be slow to draw
its own conclusions from 1t. But there will
be great pressure brought to bear upon
him to induce him to hold his peace. If
Governor Tilden knew that full and true
story of the Tammany ring, by Tweed,
was to appear in the Times next Saturday,
we do not believe he would get much sleep
on Friday night. Perhaps we shall see,
some day, how much reason there is for
this conjecture.-Nep York Times.

The following is from the Donsldsonville
Chief OF December IL:
Hon. j. B. Gaudet who has before re-
ceived honorable mention in the columns of
the CHEZ as one of the ablest and best
colored men in the State has rendered his
resignation as member of the New Or
leans Board of School Directors, and his
letter to State Superintendent Brown is a
very graceful document, deserving more
than the brief notice we are at present
forced by limited space to accord it.
Mr.. Gaudet refers to the severe criti-
cism from a class of citizens seeking
to compel the adoption Of their own
peculiar political ideas, to which him self and
colleagues have been subjected, and says
that the signal failure OF these indictments
to establish their charges against the mem
beers of the board, added to the fact that the
educational system is rapidly recovering
from the effects Of the late agitations, al
lows him the opportunity Of retiring with
personal satisfaction, and the assurance
that his faithful performance of official
duty will find its true reward in the benfits
that accrue to the people.

The Washington Republican, of the tenth
contained . dOubleleaded leader of col
umn and half devoted to the Cuban ques
ton. The article, it ia understood, was re-
vised at the White House, and may, there
fore, be accepted as an official statement of
the Presidents views in this regard, After
devoting some space to combating the idea
that to accord the Cunan belligerent rights
or to recognize their independence would
necessarily involve us in q war with Spain
and declaring that it is no part of the
Presidents purpose to urge either the recog-
milton of independence or to accord bel
ligerent rights, the article concludes as
follows:
Evidently, unless the government re.
tracts the arguments against Independence
and belligerency contained in the Presi-
dents message. the alternatives of media
ton OF Intervention are contemplated. In
prevention, however, is a European idea. 1t
is defined to mean that the intervening
government ipvades the country in when
1t desires to suppress certain authority,
and lends its aid to the citizens whose in
terests it wishes to support. But interven-
ton is an act of war and has never yet been
resorted to by republics. Mediation may be
adopted with friendly intent to serve both
parties, and is now the only peaceable
resort in this Cuban affair for the United
States. The situation accordingly resolves
itself, presuming that the position assumed
by the President is to be maintained, into
one of peace if Spain accepts our friendly
efforts, or war if an adjustment of some
kind is not reached without further vexa.
tious delay. We submit that no other de
duction than this can be made from the
facts as we have presented them, and we
do not hesitate to add that the
idea of a confederation of the West
India islands under Spanish protacto-
rate wonld prove to be failure. The Span
ish authority would continue dominant,
and the vexatious and cruel delays which
have been the curse of our diplomatic rela-
tions with Madrid would not be abated.
This solution would therefore prove to be
unsatisfactory, and in the end might render
Intervention a necessity. Under no crcum.
stance, however, should the idea of annexa-
ton be considered. There is no reasonable
pretext for if. and, as matters now stand,
no benefit would be derived from it either
by the Cubans or the United States.

A Lost Race Of the nlononsahela.

Several years ago considerable excite
ment was created in Paramount, West V.r-
ginia, by the discovery of traces of an old
macadamiZed road extending along the
right bank of the Monongahela, opposite
that place. Recently the government en-
cheering party engaged in the survey of
the upper MonOngahea river, with the view
of slackwatering that stream from Morgan
town to Paramount, examined this old road,
and from the members of the party we learn
that there can be no doubt but that this
road furnishes another trace of the lost race
that once dominated the continent long be-
fore the Indians came into possession.
There are traces of the road for nearly
eleven miles along the narrow strip of
bottom land between the hills and the river,
though at many points the river, having
shifted its channel and out into the hills,
has entirely obliterated every evidence of
it. Generally the road is covered by from
two to five feet of alluvium, either deposited
through the course of ages by the river
floods, or else by the slow washing off the
hills skirting it. Its width is said to be tif-
teen feet.
The most curious feature about the road
is that the stone from which it is formed
appears invariably to have been burned.
Wherever the road shows itself in the cut
ting banks it is marked by the black sub
stratum of ashes. In depth the broken
stone varies from six inches to eighteen
inches of irregular fragments. Tie ma
terial employed appears to have been largely
composed of boulders of red sandstone,
and the conjecture is that they we're broken
after being made hot with water thrown
upon them. There being few, if any,
bOulders in the river or adjacent country
the query arises, Where could the material
have been obtained to make this road ~
At the crossings of the streams there are
no traces of bridge abutments or piers,
which leads to the conclusion that the
streams were crossed on wooden bridges
At many points the road is covered with
trees over $50 years old, which makes it
certain that it was constructed long before
the advent of the white man; and there are
other circumstances surrounding the case
which lead inevitably to the conclusion it
was made in those ages when semi-civil
lied people inhabited North America. No
one acquainted with the habits of the
American Indians would give them credit
for constructing such work of art as this.

He had eaten nothing for tifty-six hours.
He was SO empty that when he yawned the
surrounding atmosphere for forty feet
rushed down his throat with the roar of

they compelled him to adopt the style of
