the glorious history OF MARTIN FARouHAR rUP-
PER, the great English bard. whose poetlcal
works. however, are cruelty omitted from all the
standard collections OF contemporary Eng

rUrPER, who on Saturday sailed for this country,
and who intends to read to us from his own
voluminous works, has been covered with hon
ors by his countrymen. II that is so, we are
glad to hear II. lie is indeed n bameloss man,
guiltless Of that poetic fire which sometimes
consumes the moral sentiments Of poets. and
though a painfully dreary, utterly common
place manufacturer Of verses, yet also a uerson
who never meant to harm any one; and. In
truth, no one need suffer because of his exist
encc, since no one need read his verse. We

The Centennial Commissioners have so

little practical value TO the recipients. To

comparative merits OF rival exhibitors they
have given each an award, SO as to make

judges Is unimpeachnbe. The case where
one Judge got three awards, two of them

The Mounds.

Father Brunson in carefully writ
ten article in the McGregor Times, on
Mounds and mound builders, gives
the following as the tangible facts on
which we base all our knowledge
concerning them
/. We have an immense nu mber
of mounds and earth-works.
2. They are various in size.
3. They are various in shape, many
of them representing animals and
birds.
4. We fnd human remains in some.
5. In the most of them we find no
human remains.
6. We know that the Indians have
been in the habit of burying their
dead in portion of these mounds
with surroundings similar to those
often found in contact with the re-
mains.
7. That remains and relics are not
found exclusively in any one class OF
mounds long, round, animal or bird
shape-but that some of each class
contain remains and some do not.
s. That the material of each mound
has been collected with such care and
carried to the spot from such a dis
lance as to leave no evidence as to
where it was taken from with few ex-
ceptions.
