The MOUND BULDERs.-Some i'm
portant discoveries have been recently
made in the Western mounds. One
of the latest reported in Iowa is that
of two stone tablets, containing pic
torial representations and diagrams,
apparently of an astronomical charac-
ter. They are yet to undergo the ex-
animation Of experts, who alone can
pronounce upon their valEe. Still later,
as we learn from a Nevada paper,
mounds in Payson, Utah Territory,
have been opened, from which was
taken a human skeleton six feet SIX
inches high. In the right hand was q
hugh iron or steel weapon, which lad
been buried with the body, but which
crumbled to pieces on handling. An
other skeleton, that of a woman, had
at its head q neatly carved tombstone.
Houses were found in the mounds,
the rooms being nicely plastered, some
in white, others in red color. Crock
cry, cooking utensils, vases and mill
stones were taken out, with many
other curiosities, including, lastspring,
several grains of wheat, which grew
last summer and proved to be unlike
any other now growing in this coun-
try.

In the present instance he yielded,
in many places, 10 the preludices OF
his congregation; and when he had
ended, there was not one of his new
hearers, who did not think the cerc-
monies less papal aud offensive, and
more conformant To his or her own
notions of deyout worship, than they
had been led to expect from a service
of forms. Truly, Richard found in
the divine, during the evening, a firm
co-operator in his religious schemes.
In preaching, Mr.. Grant endeavored
to steer a middle course, between the
mystical doctrines Of those sublimated
creeds. which daily involve their pro-
fessors in the most absurd contradic-
tions. and those fluent rules for moral
government, which would reduce the
Saviour TO level with the teacher of
a school of ethics. Doctrine il was
necessary for him to preach, for moth
ing less would have satisfied the dis
putatious people who were his listen
ers, and who would have interpreted
silence on his part, into tacit ac-
acknowledgement of either the superficial
nature of his creed, or his own inabil-
ity to defend it. We have already
said that, among the endless variety
of their religious instructors, the set
tiers were accustomed to hear every
denomination urge its own distinctive
precepts and to have found one indii-
ferent to this interesting subject,
would have been destructive to his in
fluence. But Mr.. Grant so happily
blended the universally received opin-
ions of the Christian faith, with the
dogmas of his own church, that, al
though none were antirely exempt
from the influence Of his reasons, very
few took any alarm at the Innovation.

A WOMAN OF MONTENEGRO.

Montenegrin women have the same
passionate attachment with the men to
family and country, and display much
the same valor. GOptcheyitch sup
plies two most remarkable examples.
A sister and four brothers, the four of
course all armed, are making n pilgrim
age or excursion 10 a church. The
state of war with the Turk being nor
NAL. we need not wonder when we
learn that they are attacked unawares
on their way, in pass where they
proceed in single file, by seven armed
Turks, who announced themselves by
shooting dead the first Of the brothers
and dangerously wounding the second.
The odds are fearful, but the fight
proceeds. The wounded man leans
against the rock, and, though he re-
ceiyes another fatal shot, kills two of
the Turks before he dies. The sister
presses forward and grasps his rifle
and his dagger. AT last all are killed
on both sides excepting herself and
single Turk. She asks for mercy, and
he promises it, but names her maiden
" honor as the price. Indignant, and
perceiving that now he is oil his guard,
She stabs him with the dagger. He
tears it from her hand, they close, and
she dashes the wretch over the preci-
pice into the yawning depth below.
The second anecdote is not less sim
gular.
Tidings reach a Montenegrin wife
that her hunband has just been slain
by party under the command of a
certain Aga. Knowing the road by
which they are travelling, she seizes Il
rifle, chooses her position, and shoots
the Aga dead. The rest of the party
take to flight. The wife Of the dead
Aga sends her an epistle. "Thou hast
robbed me of both my eyes. Thor
art Il genuine daughter Of Tsemagora
Come tomorrow alone to the border
and we will prove by trial which Of u
was the better wife" The Tsernago
rine appeared, equipped with the arm
Of the dead Aga, and alone, as sh
was invited. But the Turkish woman
had thought prudence the better par
of the valor, and brought an arme'
champion with her, who charged her o.
horseback. She shot him dead as h
advanced, and selling her faithles
antagonist, bound her and took he
home, kept her as a nursemaid to
fourteen years, and then let her g
back to her place and her people,

DANIEL WEBsTER's EXPERIENCE OF
FAME.-After President Tyler's sec
ond veto Of the bill to charter q Bank
Of the United States every member Of
his Cabinet save Mr.. Webster indig-
nantly resigned, and finding that he
intended to remain they denounced
him in all manner of ways and made
it extremely warm for him. About
this time an enthusiastic admirer call
ed to see him. Finding him in
gloomy mood he exclaimed: "Mr.
Webster, you ought not to be gloomy
about anything; your fame is made"
'Fame " replied Webster, "and much
for fame" Whereupon he told the
following story: He said he was tray
cling in a railroad car on q certain oc-
casion, and it SO happened that he
was seated by the side Of a very old
gentleman. He soon found out that
this old gentleman was a citizen of
New Hampshire, and lived in Mr..
Websters native town. He asked the
old man if he knew the Webster fam

his children?" inquired Mr. Webster.
The Oldham answered "Why, there's
Ezekiel, he's the greatest lawyer in
New Hampshire, and one of the great
est in the country" He then took up
the daughters and told whom they had
married, and how well they had mar
ried, and finished his account of the
family without mentioning the name
of Daniel. "Were those all the chill

man answered in the affirmative.

Webster. "Daniel, Daniel, Daniel,

For the fiscal year ending June 20,
1877, the total coinage of all the United
States mints, except Carson City, Nevada,
was S7l, 900, 900, or $14, 100000 more
than ever before. The coinage of the
San Francisco branch mint was the
largest annual mint product ever known
in the world, amounting to $46, 101, 500.
This same branch mint, since its estab-
lishment in 1854, has shown coinage of
$430, 532, 553 in gold, and $26, ,O49, 712 in
silver. This is hardly one-third of the
product of the mines of the Pacific slope
during that period. But much of the
bullion is sent East in the form of bars,
ETC., and a small portion is handled at
the Carson branch mint. In former
years the Philadelphia mint did the main
part of the coinage, and still does an
immense business. The following shows
the relative coinage of gold and silver
at San Francisco during the past five
years. While the silver coinage has in
creased materially owing to the recent
act regarding $50, 900, 900 of currency and
silver coin, the great bulk of the metals
ooined ia still cold.

Is Coffee Wholesome I?

I know it is palatable, as very few peo-
pie dislike it; but many eschew it on ac-
count of its deleterious effects. Its odor
in preparing is delicious, far more SO
than the actual drinking of it. am as
fond of it as any one, but have not taken
a cup in twenty-five years. 1t is more
productive of bile, especially to people
of sedentary habits, than any otller thing
that can be drank OF eaten. Indeed, the
most noted physicians protest against its
use beyond a single cup at breakfast, in
which proportion it can be taken with
safety. But where it is profusely in
dulged in, it is as injurious to health as
any alcoholic stimulant. If one pound
of coffee should be SO used as to last
family of ten persons for week, I see it
stated, no hurtful results would ensue.
But here it should stop. should think,
however, that by persons accustomed to
severe outdoor exercise OF labor of any
kind, it could, to larger extent, be
taken with safety. Children should
never touch it, or tea either, except the
latter be very weak. The old-fashioned
way of making coffee is undoubtedly the
best, which is to buy the coffee in the
grain, scorch it until light brown, and
grind it as it is wanted. The water
should be boiling when poured over the
coffee, the pot of course closed tightly,
and then give it another boil for minute
OF two, and it will soon be sufficiently
clear to use.-Alipe.

A Scene in California.

One of the miners died, and having
been much respected, it was determined
to give him regular funeral. A Dig
ger in the vicinity, who, report said,
had once been a powerful preacher in
the United States, was called upon to
ot1iciate and after "drinks all round,"
the party proceeded, with becoming
gravity, to the grave, which had been
dug at distance of a hundred yards
from the camp. When this spot was
reached, the officiating minister COM
menced with an extempore prayer,
during which all knelt round the grave.
So far was we'll but the prayer was un-
necessarily long, and at last some of
those who knelt, began, in an abstract
way, to finger the loose earth that had
been thrown up from the grave. 1t
was thick with gold and an excite
ment was Immediately apparent in the
lzneeling crowd. Upon this, the preach
er stopped, and inquiringly said: " Boys,
what's that ? Gold !" he exclaimed,
"and the richest kind of diggings u
The congregation are dismissed The
poor miner was taken from his aurif.

whilst the funeral party, with the parsor
at their head, lost no time in prospect
