Of the building. No signs Of door are
visible in the outer walls, and the ingTess
must have been from the top, in the in
side there being passages from room to
room. Most of them are small, from
eight by ten TO twelve by fourteen feet,
the doors being two by four feet The
arches over the doors and portfolios are
made of small cedar poles, two inches
wide, placed across, on which the mason-
ry is placed. The sleepers supporting
the floors are of cedar, about eight inches
thick and from twenty to fifty feet long,
and about three feet apart. A layer of
small round poles was then placed across
the sleepers, then a layer Of thinly-split
cedar sticks, then about three inches of
earth, then o layer of cedar bark, then
another layer of dirt, then a carpet of
some kind of coarse grass. The rooms
that have been protected from exposure
are whitewashed, aud the walls are orna-
mented with drawings and writings. In
one of these rooms the impression of
hand dipped in whitewash on joist is as
plain as if it bad been dore only yester-
day. In another room there are drawings
of tarantulas, centipedes, horses and
men.
In some of the rooms have been found
human bones, bones of sheep, corn cobs,
goods, raw hides, and all colors and
varieties of pottery ware. These two
large building are exactly the same in
every respect. Portions OF the buildings
plainly show that they were destroyed by
fire, the timbers being burned of and the
roofs caved in, leaving the lower rooms
entirely protected. The rock that these
buildings were built of must have been
brought long way, as nothing to COM
pare with it can be found within radius
OF twenty miles. All the timber used is
cedar, and has been brought at least
twenty-five miles. Old bitches and roads
are to be found in every direction.
The Navajo Indians say, in regard to
these ruins, that their forefathers came
there five old mems ages ago 900 years.,
and that these ruins were here, and the
same then as now, and there is no record
whatever Of their orgin.-.Neto York Sun.

The Chinese possess the oldest news
paper in the world. "Court Announce
ments" is it's Chinese name, but II is
known as the Pekin Gazette, and dates
back to the year 7l3 B. @. In the oldest
book Of Chinese poetry extant mention is
made Of an appointment conferred on the
author by the Chinese government, and
its announcement ID the Pekin Gazette Is
referred to. The newspaper il mentioned
several times in the earliest Chinese an
mails known, and exercises great influence
among and over the people. Hence the
anxieties Of the British minister in China
70 obtain mention Of the recent convention
between the two countries IN the Pekin
Gdesste. The newspaper consists Of about
twelve leaves, printed on bright yellow
paper. In former times the different
copies were transcribed By hand, copy
being sens to every province and i'm

A BLACK HAWK wAR.


From the Concordia EAGLE, May 10:
This community was somewhat startled
and horrified on hearing of the murder OF
our much respected constable of this
;trst) ward, John Linton, by one Jacob
Hawkins, which was committed on the
twelfth instant, between the hours of 7
and s P. NJ.
1t seems that Mr.. Linton proceeded to
the house where Jacob Hawkins was for
the purpose of having an amicable settle
ment OF some difficulty he and Hawkins
had had. Hawkins was standing upon
the gallery, and as Linton passed in
through the gate he (Hawkins) threatened
to kill him. Hawkins had an ak in his
hand, and Linton stick. AS Linton
stepped upon the gallery Hawkins struck
him blow on the forehead, over the left
eye, instantly killing him, and after Lin
ton Lad fallen, struck him severa! blows,
which crushed in his skull and broke his
Jaw. The murderer then fed, making his
way toward the Mississippi river, Just
opposite Fort Adams, where he was cap
tured at about three o'clock Sunday morn
ing, while in the act Of stepping upon the
steamer r. f. Lee.
This community and the people of Con-
cordia owe thanks unto one Benjamin
Moore, ex-constable of Wilkinson county,
Mississippi, and now living at Black
Hawk, who, by his promptness and per-
severance, succeeded in making the ar
rest.
The prisoner was sent to Jail. and when
the boat arrived at Rivers Ianding he
made an attempt to escape, which was
again frustrated by the vigilance of Con-
stable Moore.
There was some disposition shown here
to give the prisoner the benefit of s1ynch
law, but the more sober-minded and
justice-loving prevailed, and the Black
Hawk boys assisted the magistrate in
seeing everything done according to
law"

ASSASSINATION nl WEpsrrs.
From the shrevepOrt Times. AIay


We learned last evening that Mr.. Glenn
Franks, who keeps the toll bridge on Dor
cheat bayou, in Webster Parish, three
miles west Of Minden, was shot and NOR
tally wounded on Wednesday night about
eleven o'clock, while in the act of retiring,
by some unknown party. The circum-
stances are as follows, as near as we can
learn them: Mr.. Franks and two COM
panions, Willie Berry and John Martin,
were together on the gallery of Leary's
store, near the bridge, and about eleven
o'clock at night Mr.. Franks asked Mr..
Martin to sleep with him that night. The
latter excused himself, saying he would
go home, when Franks started. to his
room, leaving his two companions stand-
ing on the gallery. He had only moved
a few PAGES when some one concealed be-
tween the bayou and the store, behind
some boxes, fred on him with double
barreled gun, eighteen buckshot striking
him in the small Of the back and two be-
tween the shoulders At the discharge Of
the gun the unfortunate young man fell,
but was immediately picked up by his
friends and conveyed to his room. Med
ical assistance was summoned as soon as
possible. bat no hopes were entertained
OF his recovery, although he was alive at
one o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Franks is quite q young man,
scarcely twenty years Of age, and has
lG rge circle Of friends and relatives, and
is universally esteemed by an who know
him. The unfortunate young man, we are
informed, did not think he had an enemy
on earth, and hence has not the rdmotest
Idea who could have committed The das-
tardlY oulgaQe.

MURDER IN DELHI.
From the Richland Bsaoon. Nav

From the Richland Beacon, May 10:
On Friday, the eleventh instant, old
man Ellison, a notoriously dangerous
character, against whom there has been
warrant for murder for some years, was
in Mr.. Rosenfeld's store, at Delhi, when
John 7. Young entered, and some say at
tempted to arrest him, while others saw
he attacked him with revolver; bat be
this as it may, we believe all are agreed
that Ellison told Young that he was not
armed, whereupon Young handed his pis-
tol to John Bishop, who was near by.
Ellison instantly drew his pistol and
opened fire on him, the first ball taking
effect in Mr.. Bishops right wrist, caus-
him to drop the pistol, the next one strik-
ing Young in the left side, from which
wound he died in less than an hour.
After he fell it is said he got hold of the
pistol and fred several shots at Ellison.
but without effect. Ellison escaped.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER.

From the Opelousas Journal, May 10:
letter dated the sixteenth instant.
from Bayou Chicot, states that the day
before the body of dead white man was
found behind a log about forty yards
from the old Jackson road, six miles north
of that place. Il seems the murdered
man was foot traveller, and had camped
by the roadside. Signs indicated that he
had been dragged teet foremost from his
camp by the road to where the body was
concealed Two bullet holes were through
the skull. The buzzards had torn off all
of the scalp, nearly all the flesh from his
left arm, and eaten out his lungs It is
supposed he had been dead several days.
He had very dark hair, was about Eve and
half feet high, and had on dark pants
with very small stripes, pair of drawers
and oVershirt and vest combined, the
shirt part being brown and vest gray.
His hat and other clothes. carpet sack,
etc, had been burned. The pockets of
his pants were turned wrong side out. A
knife, cravat two new clay pipes, a pen
Gil, some buttons and tin cup with cof-
fee grounds in it were found on the
ground. 1t is supposed he was killed
while asleep. This is all that is known
of the matter, just learned as we go to
press.
