Jaw.

Mr.. George Barton, of Lockport, KY,
found. some DAYS ago, in the Kentucky River,
one entire jawbone and half OF another which
belonged to some animal larger than we have
the pleasure of being intimately acquainted
with. We examined the bones last Thurs
day, and the entire jawbone will weigh eighty
two pounds. 1t is three feet two and a half
inches from the center of the chin back to the
Joint where it coupled with the upper jaw, and
three feet three inches inside OF the JOINTS,
leaving the animal in its day sufficient Ca
pacity to get away with, say, barrel OF
Cincinnati whisky at one drink. There are
four molar teeth, and the two farthest BACK
are eight inches in length each and four
inches wide, and run back through the jaw
hone. and are at least thirteen inches long.
The two teeth Immediately in front OF these
are about four inches square and about nine
inches long The teeth bear a very striking
resemblance to the teeth of horse, only they
are SO much larger that there Is no comparl-
son. The half iaw-bone shows that 1t Is from
the larger of the two animals but only has
one yery large molar. The teeth are In per-
| feet state of preservation, and the boxes are
| but little damaged. The bones do not resem'
| BILE in shape any of the bones OF the larger
animals We have ever seen. Ihey are shor'
and clumsy, with no place for front teeth OF
| tushes, but that they are from some pre.n Al
| toric animal is evident. DIR. Graham, OF the
| Louisville Library, is to be invited to take
look at them and place them, if he can, where
thew belong in natural history.-He'uy Co.
| (Ky,) Tribune.
If the good people of Henry are at loss te
know what to do with their newly found specl
men of "jaw," we would suggest that they
hang it up in the courthouse.

The United States Comptroller some time
AGO transmitted letters from the First Matt on
al Bank of Florida and the Citizens National
Bank Of Raleigh, N. c., to the Solicitor OF the
Treasury for his opinion as to the right OF
State to impose license tax upon the capital
of national banks, and also the right OF State
officers to examine national banks or to re-
quire reports of their affairs to be made 20
them. The Solicitor has given an elaborate
opinion. that license tax upon the capital of
a national bank can not be enforced, and that
State officers have no right either to examine
or to exact reports from national banks. He
SAYS: sThis entire legislation is at variance
with the law as adjudicated, and subverslve
and destructive of the principles governing
the relations of the Federal and Safe govern
ments."

A TENNESSEE GOLG0THA.
ThOusaRds Of Skeletons UneSrthed by
the Recent Flood.
Chattanooga Times.


The high water Of the recent flood
washed about four feet Of earth f.om ten
or fifteen acres Of land lying along the
Tennessee river on the farm Of Mr.. James
Prater, near Louisville, in Blount county.
About two feet of soil was removed from
the same ground BY the high tide Of 1867
When the waters subsidized, after the last
flood, a strange spectacle was presented.
The whole of the denuded area was covered
with skeletons. Some were straight, some
reclining, some doubled up and some in a
sitting posture. There were the os-
seOus forms Of infants, of chill
dren and of full grown persons.
Mr.. Prater has counted over q thousand
forms. The steamer City Of KnOxvil le,
on her last trip brought some Of these
bones to Chattanooga and Mr.. Crawford
the clerk Of the Knoxville, presented US
with a skull. Persons who have lived in
the vicinity Of this mysterious cemetery,
for sixty-6ye years never heard Of any
human bodies being discovered the: before.
The skeletons, we understand, are not found
in a mound nor in what appears 70 be an
artificial formation Of the earth.
We understand one or more mounds
were partially washed away in Meigs cOun-
ty, disclosing skeletons, stone hatchets, and
pipes, and implements common among the
Indians. The skeletons in BlOunt county
probably occupy a buHying ground, which
perhaps centuries ago was covered up by
the same agency which has now exposed
its occupants to view.

A Kite Flyers Logic.
To the Union and American:

These police still insist on putting stop
TO our kite tlving. I want to state some
actual facts through your valuable paper.
When WashingtOn's birthday was cele-
hrated here Cand in fact at all big holidays
immense flags are foated on the streets, no,
over eight and ten feet above horses heads.
Why don't they get scared then? You
know they are fifty and hundred times as
big as our kites. Get some one to answer
this. l think we've got some tame horses
in town, don't you? or a Mayor mare
,ue. Respectfully,
a Boy NINE YEARS OLD.
