A Remarkable Discovery in Florida.

The Palatka (Fla.) Herald says: We
learn that the Indian mound on Muir
phys Island was opened, or rather en-
tered, by party a few days ago. This
mound is one of the largest on the river,
and has excited more than ordinary in
terest among our scientific visitors. But
Colonel Hart, proprietor of the island
upon which the mound stands, hereto
fore persisted in his refusal to have this
relic of past ages disturbed. On
Wednesday, however, it was resolved to
inspect thoroughly this monument of a
prehistoric age. A party from the
Putnam, with others, took steamer for
the island, where they arrived in good
time. 1t was agreed to open the mound
at its base. After making a breach of
thirty-five feet, they discovered a hard
wall made of cOquina or shell rock.
This wall was cemented, and was oTna-
mentcd with various figures of warriors
with bows and arrows, and various rep
tiles. After much difficulty breach
was made in the wall, and by the light
of a torch, several of the party entered !;
much surprised, they found themselves
within vault eight feet high, with room
twelve by fifteen feet long, with armed
warriors encased in inches, all in state
of petrifcation. This is certainly most
wonderful discovery, and has produced
a profound sensation. In view of this
important discovery, Col. Hart has sta
toned a guard to prevent parties MAX
ing away with these wonderful objects.
Murphy's Island will, no doubt, become
the Mecca of st. Johns River.

Some Queer Fish.

Among the various abnormal methods
of incubation none are more curious
than the habit of certain fishes of the
catfish family of keeping the eggs in
the mouth until the young are Matched,
this act being generally performed by
the male. Quite recently NJ. Lortet has
added to the list the CbrOnais pGter1anli-
has, as observed in a stream near the
borders of the Sea of Tiberias, and not
far from the ancient Capernaum. In
this case the female deposits her eggs
in sandy depression in the bed of the
stream, and the male sucks them into
his mouth, and by some peculiar action
causes them to be interpolated between
the plates of the gills, where they are
held without disturbance. The period
of incubation is not mentioned, but the
young, when Matched, leaving the gills,
pass forward into the cavity of the
mouth, where they remain closely pack
ed, heads forward, the cheeks of the
parent swelling out as the young in
crease in size, and presenting a most
singular appearance. A few of the
young sometimes remain between the
bronchial plates, but most of them pass
forward as stated, NJ. Lortet did not
ascertain at what period the young left
the mouth of the parent, but presumed
that they remained there considerable
time Whether, after they once leave,
they re-enter for protection, is not stat
ed. 1t is very remarkable that the young
are not swallowed by the parent while
in their receptacle.

Hotel Clerks as Diamond Brokers.

A Chicago correspondent reveals the
hotel clerk in a new character-that OF
a diamond broker. OF the business
done by them IN that city he says:
AT our four great notes.-the Pal
mer, Grand Pacific, fremont and Sher-
mantle value of diamonds sold by
clerks and their rotunda brokers exceed
100000 annually. Aside from these
palaces, we have fully dozen other
hotels, each as fine as the average Amer
lean hotel, and at one of these alone, the
Mattison, the chief clerk sold $4,000 of
diamonds ins1S74to my personal knowl-
edge. The Chicago hotel clerk diamond
trade must amount to $500, 900 annually.
Most of the clerks here who have held
exceptionally good positions for term
of years are rich, possessing their own
establishments and fast horses. / have
one in mind-John HicKory-now re-
tired, who was night clerk for Gage
Bros. & Rice for nearly twenty years
in their different houses, who is to-day
worth $4,000. 1t viii be seen that,
aside from the slips" for gilt-edged
rooms, passes to the theaters, which are
unblushingly sold with regular tickets,
traffic in stolen or discounted railroad
tickets, and hush money from parties
travelling on the European plan, the
boss hotel clerk is the man to bend your
