Ihe Work Of the Mound Builders.

THE Hon. L. II. Morgan has already
won high repute by his philosophical
studies of the ethnology of this continent.
A vast mass of material concerning the
early races of North and Central America
has been accumulated for the greater part
in fragmentary way, and the effort to
systematic it and draw from it definite
history, deserves, even though it should
not fully achieve, success. One of the
toughest of the problems connected with
such an attempt is presented by the relics
ofthe Mound Builders Their earthworks,
their graves, their skeletons, are puzzle
without key. There has been abudant
speculation on the subject, and on insult.
ticient grounds the origin of the Mound
Builders has been ascribed to Judea,
Phnnicia, Egypt, China, Siberia, the
Islands of the Pacific and the South Amer
lean Continent. Prof Morgan has at last
attacked this problem. He began this
morning the reading of his paper entitled
Z" A Conjectural Restoration of Pueblo
of the Mound Builders" with the remark
that "a conjecture is sometimes worth the
time spent upon it." 1t is necessary first
to consider carefully some practices and
usages of the aborigines which were gen
sral among them over wide area. We
find that in all parts of America they
sometimes constructed what may be called
ointtenement houses. We find these
houses occupied by number of related
families, They practieed communism in |

Legal Verbiage.

In suit recently brought in the Su-
preme Court in Troy to recover damages
for the bite of dog the following answer
has been served by well-known member
of the legal fraternity of that city: And
the defendant further answers that at the
time mentioned in the complaint the
plaintiff, with sundry other unruly and
boistelous youths. was throwing snow
balls in the immediate vicinity of the de-
fendant's house, and thereby endangering
its safety and that of its inmates; and
thereupon the defendant expostulated with
said plaintiff, and requested him in a
mild and gentlemanly manner to desist !;
but the plaintiff, refusing to observe the
defendants request, and moved and insti-
gated by the devil, thereupon made an
assault upon this defendant and upon his
dog, which was providentially present.
and threw and impelled stone at the lat
ter, whereupon the said dog, in self-de-
Tense, as he lawfully might tor the cause
aforesaid, instinctively resented the attack
upon himself, and playfuly and slightly
inserted his teeth in and upon the person
of the plaintiff, doing him no unnecessary
damage, nor any damage beyond what
was good for him; which are the same
supposed trespasses mentioned in the COM
plaint.-Rochester IN. ~ Union and i'd

more wisdom than is generally credited to
them; and while an immovable bundle of
rags may drive them away for short time
we believe that eventually they discover
the humbug, as we have seen the birds
complacently picking up young corn al
most within the shadow of us an elaborate
a stuffed SCarecrOW as ever was erected
We, however, have heard suggested a
couple of plans which are calculated to
intimidate even the boldest of these birds :;
and as they are easily carried out, perhaps
our farmer readers may make use of them.
The first and best is a suspended locking
glass. Take two small cheap mirrors,
tasten them back to back, attach cord to
one angle, and hang them from an elastic
pole. When the glass swings in the wind
the suns rays are reflected all over the
field, even if it be large one; and even
the oldest and bravest of crows will de-
part precipitately should one of its light
ming flashes fall on him. The second
plan, although terror to crows, is espcc-
tally we'll suited to fields subjected to the
nroads of small birds and even chickens
1t involves an artificial hawk made from a
big potato and long goose and turkey
feathers. The maker can exercise his i'm
itative skill in sticking the feathers into
the potato sothat they resemble the spread
wings and tail of the hawk. 1t is aston
ishing what ferocious-l looking bird
prey can be constructed from the above
simple materials. 1t only remains to hang
the object from a tall bent pole, and the
wind will do the rest. The bird makes
swoops and dashes in the most headlong
and threatening manner. Even the most
inquisitive of venerable hens has been
known to hurry rapidly from its danger
Gus vicinity, while TO small birds it carries
unmixed dismay american.

Horrors of the Slave Trade,

THE Briton, ten-screw corvette, Capt
Lindsay Brine, which arrived home last
week 10 be paid off, was commissioned on
the 28th November, 1871, at Sheerness A
correspondent gives an account of her op-
erations on the east coast of Africa in the
suppression of the slave trade. Some of
the boats with their crews were detached
at various times from thirty to eighty
days. Twelve slave dhows were captured
by her boats, and nearly 22O slaves res
cued from bondage. One dhow con-
tanned 1872 men, women and children of all
ages, the majority being children from
four to fourteen years of age. They were
in terrible condition, their bones pro-
truding, and being in most famished
and disgusting state, rendering it incredi-
bic to think they were human beings en-
dowed with reason at all. Two hundred
had started ten days before the boats cap
tured her, but seventy ght had died from
starvation on the passage, and been thrown
overheard like dogs. The Briton's men
gave the Captain CT the dhow four dozen
with good ropes end for striking a
slave after they had captured the vessel,
and on sighting the ship he jumped over
board and was drowned, probably fearing
repetition of this wholesome lesson.
This is slight idea Of the sufferings the
Briton, in her cruise, saw on the coast.
During her cruise on the coast of Africa
the boats attacked and destroyed the slave
trading village of Kionga, where the in
habitants had murdered sub-lieutenant
OF the Daphne in most treacherous man
ner, coming behind him whilst seated in
the chiefs hut, driving steel-headed
spear through his back, and hacking him
with swords till dead.-,Liperpool Mercury.

A yerdant Reporter from Brooklyn.

In our frequent reports of the fleeing
Of passengers on the Central Road by
tbree-card monte gamblers we have al
ways suggested that the victims would not
have been robbed if they had devoted a
small share of the money lost to subscrib-
ing for newspaper in which such games
are exposed. Little did we expect to re-
cord among the pigeons that were to be
plucked newspaper reporter; but, sad to
relate, one foolish member of the frater-
nifty has been found and, oddly enough,
he was from the wicked city of Chicago,
~ route to the wickedest of all cities
Brooklyn! At quarter to five a. m.
yesterday two Herald reporters were talk
ing to Conductor Coates, of the st. Louis
express east, when they were approached
by well-dressed and intelligent-looking
man, who said: "Mr. Conductor, l
thought knew all the tricks of gamblers,
but have been picked up between SYRIA
cure and Utica by a pretty sharp gang,
and have lost my money. They played
the two soldiers and the star card game,
which is virtually three-card monte, and
they caught me on the fly" The
conductor and reporters looked at each
other and smiled, as they have frequently
smiled over that oft-told tale at that hour
before. The stranger continued: 81 have
been connected with the newspapers for
he past fifteen years, and have written up
all kinds of games in wicked Chicago for

How to Travel.

In the first place, know where you are
going and how you are going.
And if you know what you are going
for, it will be quite as well.
Dress well, for on your dress depends
in great measure the treatment you will
receive on your journey. The world at
large has never learned to discriminate
between the deserving and the undeserv-
ing in any other way than by appearances,
and if you would be treated with courtesy
and attention, wear good clothes. Not
gaudy or snowy ones, but something of a
material which looks well, and which will
not be ruined by dust, or rain, or damp
ness. Avoid all trailing skirts for gentle
men to wipe their feet on, and trimmings
of fringes and laces to catch on other peo-
pies buttons and parasol handles.
Dress warm enough to save you from
the necessity of carrying more than one
extra wrap, for bundles are a nuisance on
a journey, particularly long journey.
Take no more baggage than you can
help. You will be surprised, if you try
it, to see how little you can be comforta-
bic with.
In hand-satchel, take along combs,
brushes, soap, towels, needles and thread,
scissors, strings, boot buttons, handker-
chiefs, extra gloves and stockings, and
other personal necessaries, for if your
journey extends over week you will be
sure to need them before you can get ac-
cess to your trunk.
Check your trunk when you set forth
for the place of your destination, and hay
ing put the checks where they will be in
no danger Of getting lost, dismiss the
trunk from your mind. There is not the
slightest necessity of worrying about
it." as most ladies are in the habit of
doing.
When you buy your ticket, get rail-
road map Of the country you propose
travelling over, together with time table
of distances. These are furnished by ev-
cry railroad of note, and by consulting
them you will be saved from annoying
conductors and fellow-travelers with ques-
tions.
Carry no money in your pocket, beyond
the little you may need to supply you
with papers and Refreshments, and do not
confde to anybody where you have
secured the bulk of your money or other
valuablcs.
In large cities, make all inquiries of
hotel clerks and policemen.
In choosing a hackman always take the
one who solicits you least.
Be courteous to everybody, and con-
fidential with nobody. A lady is much
better protected on journey ny her
womanly dignity than by the gallantry of
a gentleman of whom she knows nothing.
Make up your mind before you start on
your journey to bear all the little trials
and disagreeabes incident to travelling
with good humor and equanimity.
Do not fly into passion if drunken
man staggers into the Car, or turn up your
nose if somebody swears, or look insufer-
ably annoyed if a baby cries, or some old
gentleman falls asleep and snores
Be patient, quiet and mind your own
business thoroughly, and if the boiler
does not burst, or the train does not meet
with broken rails, washed out culverts, or
something of that ilk, you will in all
probability reach your journeys end in
safety.-Rate Thorn, in ". Y. Weekly.
