Central American Confederation.

The victory of Guatemala in her re-
cent short but sharp contest with San
Salvador, seems likely to befollowed up
by concerted pressure from Guate-
mala, San Salvador, Honduras and Costa
Rica upon Nicaragua, to bring about a
practical re- establishment of the Central
American Confederation. These four
States are now i'll reality but two, Hondu-
ras and San Salvador acting under the
supreme influence of President Barrios
of Guatemala, and Costa Rica having
long been administered In an autocratic
way by Gen. Guardia, who, though not
long President of the Republic, is in
command of the army, and can do pretty
much as he pleases. Nicaragua holds
out against the Northern States and Costa
RIGA in defense of the church party, but
will badly be able to offer a successful
resistance to their policy if they have
really determined to act together de-

Sleep the Best Stin.,.lant.

The best possible thing for man to
do when he feels too weak to carry it
through is to go to bed and sleep week
if he can This is the only true recuper-
alton of power, the only actual recuper-
alton of brain force. Because during
sleep the brain is in state of rest, in
condition to receive and appropriate
particles of nutriment from the blood
which take the place of those which
have been consumed in previous labor,
since the very act of thinking consumes,
burns up solid particles, as every turn
of the wheel or screw of the splendid
steamer is the result of consumption by
fire of the fuel in the furnace. The sup
ply of consumed brain substance can
only be had from the nutritive particles
in the blood, which were obtained from
the food eaten previously, and the brain
is so constituted that it can best receive
and appropriate to itself those nutritive
particles during a state of rest, of quiet,
and stiffness in sleep. Mere stimulants
supply nothing in themselves they only
goad the brain, force it to greater con
sumption of its substance, until that sub
stance has been so exhausted that there
is not power enough left to receive a sup
ply, just as men are SO near death by
thirst and starvation that there is not
power enough to swallow anything, and
all is over.

A Lonesome but Lively Old Negro.

There was slight rumpus near the
market early the other morning that es-
capped the vigilance of the officer on
duty. An old negro man, evidently from
the country, was sitting in his wagon,
apparently wrapped in deep thought
His hair was plentifuIly sprinkled with
gray, and he was carefully polishing the
glasses of a pair of venerable looking
spectacles. Something in his appear
ance attracted the attention of two
neatly dressed mulatto boys, who, with
cigars In their mouths, were sauntering
leisurely by.
"Dere's old man Methuselah, re-
marked one, while the other began to
sing, "Dere was an old niger, and his
name was Methuselah-his name was
Methuselah. When he got old he went
But before the sable-colored warbler
could finish his ditty, the object of his
serenade had leaped from the wagon and
seized him. The next moment the tune
full youth was wriggling on the ground
while the old man was humping him
with No. IL brogan, without regard to
the musical pauses, and with such vigor
as to leave the impression on those with
in hearing that an army of spring car
pet-beaters had suddenly begun opera
tons.
Methuselum amt no SIGH marrer in
his leg like dis, is he?" queried the old
man, as he gave the youth a jar that sent
him rolling out of reach. Scrambling
to his feet, the bruised boy, without an
swering the interrogatory, made up the
street at pace that soon carried him out
of sight.
"1'm a lonesome niger, am" re-
marked the veteran, as he picked up his
hat, which had fallen off his head dur
ing the humping process. "Im lone
some by nature, and when I gets mad
my lonesomeness is de wus kinder
disease. Dey amt no town n1ggers
aroun' here, he continued, giving sug-
gestive pull at the lappels of his coat,
and casting a glance at those whose at

AS there was no response to this some

The latter consist of beads, wristlets,
gorgets, etc., of copper, shells, bane and
stone. Pipes are numerous, some of
them of elaborate workmanship, carved
in figures, some grotesque. and others
showing wonderful accuracy in the delin-
eatioR of the forms of birds, frogs, hui
man beings, bears, alligators, and other
living things, and many not designed as
images at all. There is pottery, always
ungIazed, but some of the pieces closely
resembling the present bottles, bowls
and dishes, and some pieces nodded in
the form of woman. There are also
many other things whose use can only
be conjectured some of them, perhaps,
being used as records, as insignia of
civil or priestly Office.

Relics of the Mound Builders.
philadelphia Cor. New York Tribune. ]


In the mineral annexes to the Main
Exhibition building there is an inter
esting display of the economic re-
sources Of the most progressive States,
and of this a full description will soon
be possible. But in the Ohio depart
ment there is now ready for the inspec-
ton of the visitor magnificent collec-
ton of implements of war, of the chase,
and of the domestic life of the mysteri-
GUS Mound-builders. This display is
not favorably situated to attract atten-
ton, but good judges pronounce it, in
point of interest, no mean competitor of
the famous Smithsonian collection. A
large archaeological map, 12x15 feet,
shows the location, etc., of some of the
earth and stone works found In Ohio.
From their magnitude and number. it is
easily seen that they were erected by a
people with a well-organized govern
ment, and far too numerous to subsist
without a system of agriculture. The
immense system of Notifications In the
form of circles, squares, octagons,
mounds, parallel walls, etc., at Newark
would to-day, with the present tools of
steel and steam machinery, require the
labor of thousands of men for long
period of time to construct. Yet, as far
as can be learned from the remains left,
the builders had no tools but wooden
and stone ones, with few of copper,
and had no domestic animals at all, and
must therefore have carried all this earth
in skins or baskets, and from long dis
tances, as, at least in some instances,
there is no earth or stone similar to that
used In their construction. Among the
implements exhibited are spades ard
hoes of flint, grooved and ungrooved
axes Of various degrees of finish, shape,
and size, varying from few ounces in
weight to over sixteen pounds, skin
dressers for tanning purposes, bark
peelers for making canoes, pestles for
crushing grain and other food, chisels,
etc. The materials used for making
these are granite and kindred rocks,
hematite, flint, and other hard materials.
There are also lance, spear, and arrow
heads; knives, scrapers, gouges, avis,
drills, and similar tools of flint, Jasper,
chalcedony, etc., copper being used oc-
casionally for some of these implements.

The Massachusetts, Silver Mine.

The main shaft of the mine In New
bury, Essex county, is now sunk to a
depth of over 200 feet, and the machin-
cry is adapted for doing the work of a
mine of 600 feet. From ton and half
to four tons of ore is daily taken out.
The Burleigh steam drills are used.
The prospective value of the mine is
immense. In 1872, its third year, the
yield was $44, 1000; in 1873, 1858, COO !:
in 1875, 81, 100000. Silver bars are now

When medicine will promptly cure such ter

virulent poison causing them, who can longer
doubt it's wonderful virtues DR.. Pierce, how
ever, does not wish to place his Golden Medi-
Cal Discovery in the catalogue of quack patent
nostrums by recommending it to cure every
disease, nor does he 30 recommend it but what
he does claim is this that there is but one form
of blood disease that it will not cure, and that
disease is cancer. He does not recommend
his Discovery for that disease, yet he knows 1t
to be the most searching blood cleanser yet dis
covered and that it will free the blood and system
of all other known blood poisons, be they ANIMAL
vegetable or mineral. The Golden Discovery
is lodrrGnted by him to cure the worst forms of
Skin Diseases, as all forms of Blotches Pim-
Piles and Eruptions also all Glandular Swell
ings, and the worst form of ScrofulOus and
