Antedcluvian Bones.

The Dates Tribune of recent is
sue has the following account of the
fossils discovered in Eastern Wash
ington Territory by the Copeland
Brothers:
We have just returned from an in
spcction of Il large collection of large
bones, teeth, etc, of several antedc
luvian animals how on exhibition
near Snydcr's restaurant on Main
street. These bones or remains be-
long to B. +. Copeland; and were
found by him on his land, on Hang
man Creek, Stevens county, Wash
ington Territory, some time last
May, about twelve feet beneath the
surface of Il half acre of swampy,
sprngy soil. The bones are parts Of
eight or nine animals, and are gen.
orally in Il good state of prcscrva-
ton. One shoulder blade is :, feet +
inches long, feet inches wide, and
weighs 10 pounds. The tusk or
horn of this animal is ten feet long
and twcnty-thr,c inches in circum-
fcrcnsc; and it is very evident that
two or three feet are missing. The
under Jaw has two teeth, each of
which weighs IS lbs. The upper
and lower JAZZ or entire mouth con-
tanned four teeth or grinders, and
Two front curved teeth or nippcrs,
from which it is quite evident that
the animal was hcrbivcrous. The
under Jaw weighs siXty-thrcc pounds.
The lcmur bone is four feet long--its
diameter being proportionally large,
but varying at different points. The
pelvic bone is five feet ten inches
across in the widest place, and the
bone itself weighs one hundred and
thirty five pounds. Taken altogctf.-
cr these bones arc the most interest,"
ing of any of which we have ever
heard or read, because of their great
magnitude. 1t has been calculated
that the animal, when alive, weighed
twenty tons; aud that its young
weighed at birth one thousand
pounds. The waters of the bog
wherein the remains were found
have not yet been analyzcd; but that
it contains some kind OF antiscptic
mineral or minerals in abundance
there can be no doubt, as bones sub
merged in ordinary spring water
and soil would, in less than fifty
years, be resolved into their clement
al constituents, instead of being like
these, in Il very good state of prcser-
vation. They are not lossilizcd, but
are generally in their natural state,
except that Il few of them may be
some heavier than when fresh.
This animal probably belonged to
the mastodon family or genus. Its
teeth seem adapted for bruising
coarse vegetable substances. Indeed
there are some evidences in the
form OF its teeth that it was omniv-
orous. Eleven or twelve species of
the nastodon have been described,
from tic Mioccnc, Plcioccnc, and
Plcistoccnc strata in Europe, Asia
and America.
These fossils arc now on exhibition
in Portland. All told they have
about 900 specimens. Those who
have time to do so should avail them
selves of the opportunity 10 sec these

Horrible Bridge Disaster I'm
France.

A Parish dispatch to the Lon
don Daily Telegraph says an arch
ola railway bridge over the river
ILL.,, near Lutterbach, gave way
under the pressure of the food and
passenger train from Mulhouse for
Strasbourg, which was crossing at
the time, was precipitated into the
river. The carriages fell on top
of one another and were dashed to
pieces. Owing to the violence of
the stream none of the passengers
could be saved. All were either
crushed to death or drowned.-
Thirty corpses have already been
recovered. Terrible excitement
exists in the neighborhood. 1t is
supposed that sixty or more lives
have been lost.

in the restaurant the walters paid
no attention to him, and he wrap
ped several times before the waiter
slid that way.
81 want some fried oysters" said
the man, as he looked over the bill
of fare.
"Dey is just out, fried oysters
is," said the waiter.
"Bring me a chicken then"
"Dere isn't a chicken round de
place."
"Got any venison," inquired the
man.
"NOt an inch, sah."
"Any ham and eggs?'
mo, sah."
"See, here" said the man, get
ting vexed, 81 want a square meal
I've got the ducats right here;

He lifted big roll of green
backs out of his pocket, shook it
at the darkey and continued:
"Have you chicken ?"

She Was Widdy-And Her
Husband Lived i'm Wash.
ingtOn City.
From The San Aatoni0 Herald.

From the San Antonio Herald.
Yesterday morning a stalwart
and rather good looking colored
man applied to Mr. Burton, the
district clerks efficient deputy for
license to marry, at the Same
time presenting lie ter. The fol-
lowing conversation took place
How old is the woman you are
going to marry p
Il reckon she is about forty.'
Has she ever been married be-
fore p
Indeed she has, she is wildly,
and her husband is livin' wild his
fust wife in Washington City,
well, is she divorced p
OATS de divorce what you got
in your hand. 1t jest came from
Washington City by the Post Of
fice.'
THE divorce proved to be a let
ter from Thomas SENS, the hus-
band ofthe widow, and was actual
ly dated November 4, Washing
ton, District of Columby,' and read
after the clerical errors have been
corrected:
Dear Miss Malviny: Your low
ing husband, that's me, is here all
right and living with his wife and
children. 1 give you leave to mar
ry any damn Teller you want
to, and If they fits him you may
give him them pants and vests l
left behind. Give my love to adj
miring friends. My wife sends
her love to you and the children,
and I remain, as ever, your loving
husband until death do us part.
Yours respectfully,
THOS. SENS"
The gentleman who wanted to
lead the blushing bride to the altar
was somewhat incredulous, but
Mr.. Burton proved it by the local
that the divorce was not good
one, and the applicant went off
grumbling, shaking his head, and
remarking IT mighty sig'lar."

DON'T FRET.

Don't fret it the man in the forward pew
Is snoozing all the sermon through;
He isn't expected to hear for you;
Perhaps he's slim,
Or preaching isn't the thing for him;
Or he knows the Rev. DR.. jim
So well he isn't afraid to show it
By shutting his eyes and letting him go
Some way there's reason plain to be
met
So, don't-fret!
Don't fret If your neighbor has nothing
to do,
And takes life light as dream, while
you
Struggle along with the toll of two;
Nobody can riie
To worth, or learning, or truth or pride,
On the money somebody left when he
died;
By and by when his turn is down
You'll be upon top and the crown
Totter Of folly is somewhere set
So, don't--fret.
Don't fret If a fellow of shallow stuff
is always getting his post and puff,
While path that Is humble, hard and
rough
Is made for you.
There is one that sees him through and
through,
And will show him up Tor the world to
view;
And then the sneakingest man to be
Was he that was courted, pulled and
crowned,
And hadn't the brains-a cast-off pet
So, DON'T
Don't fret because yonr neighbor has
wealth
While you have nothing but hope and
healh;
Perhaps he got his money by stealth,
Or his father did;
Though somewhere under coffin lid
It's curses may for time be hid!
Be sure what fortune is yours you earn
And honest dollars can never burn;
And if you are free from disgrace and
debt
Why, don't-fret.
Don't fret if things on the whole go
hard
Out of the riches of glory barred
Out in the battle tired and SCARED;
For it isn't mucn
That one can win by sign or touch;
Tis pain, and trouble, and toll and
ssch,
Uprajsed by the voices of ease and pride
That finds its joy on the other side,
No matter what others may give or get,
So, don't fret

unfortunate woman, who had been
arrested on suspicion, but finally
released, has unjustly borne the
stigma ever since. A few frantic
words recently uttered by the mis-

DIR. StOrr's on the Physi.
clans Work.

In our society phys lCian is
power for good if his spirit is noble
and his purpose high and humane.
1t is power which is felt, and re-
eognized, and responded to by the
community in which he lives
You will be called upon as public
and private counsellors. Aside
from great emergencies, a physi-
clans work may be good and USE
full In humber ways. At the be-
ginning Of this centennial year 1t
is we'll for us to remember that one
Of the first men who fell in the re.
volution was DIR. Joseph Warren,
Of Boston. The second signer of
the Declaration of Independence,
who waited only for the signature
of John Hancock, was New
Hampshire physician, DIR. Bart
lett. 1t is natural for us to remem-
Der that five or six educated ply
sicians were efficient members of
that wife and patriotic assembly,
and one who was as eminent as
any other in that body was DIR.
Benjamin Rush, of Philadelphia.
Literature owes much to physici-
ans. We do not forget that the
most witty and elegant poet of the
last thirty years is Boston ply
stefan. The influence of q physi-
clan goes out in multiform chan
nels. Remember hun who died
recently in Boston, who in youth,
fought for Greek independence,
who in young manhood struggled
for the liberty of the Poles, who in
later life laborel for the slave, and
who felt that his highest claim to
honor and his grandest work was
that which took away the bars
from the immortal spirit, which
made the blind see, the deaf hear,
the dumb speak, and which bro't
the mind forth to the light of Gods
truth and to the expectation of
Gods immortality. That is the
work of a great physician. AS
you think Of your work, its rela-
tions run into infinitude. Cherish
lofty enthusiasm for your work
The enthusiasm of love for work
multiplicity transforms talent in
to genius, and makes the master
in any art. Enthusiasm conquers
and glorifies. Cherish that enthu-
siasm, justified by the fact that the
more nobly you accomplish your
work the nearer you come to God.

represented at the Centennial by a
collection of original books and en-
cravings, maps, newspapers and pc
riodicals. All of these articles will
be put up in elegant cases ,surmount-
ed by the busts of prominent poets
of the country. Some idea of the ex-
tent and value of this contribution
may be had from the fact that the
shelves will contain l, 800 books pub
lished in recent years upon educa-
tional topics alone. Besides these,
there will be a collection of books
covering every known department of
