PERE MARQUETTE'S REMAINS.
The Site OF an Old Jesuit Church Discovered
on Point 81. ignace, Mich.-Bones and Other
Relics Exhumed.

The Cheboygan { Mich. } Pre- Press
OF May 10, publishes the following
tom:
Like wildfire the uews spread
through tho village that tho founda-
Liaa of the old Jesuit Mission, which
was established by Father Mar
quoLto 200 years ago, had been
discovered on the farm of MIR
David hurry. at Point ST. lgnace,
and that numerous church relics of
those days had been unearthed,
showing beyond question that this
was the place where the mission was
erected. Soon after this news was
received, the bulletin at the tele-
graph Office announced the fact that
the bones of a human being had
been found on the grounds, which
was undoubtedly the remains Of that
intrepid missionary, Father Mar
Quote. As the readers OF The early
history of Michigan are aware, in
1861 Father Marquette built chapel
at Point St. Ignace, and named the
station ST. Ignatius. After this "a
church was erected, which was sub
sequently destroyed by fire, and all
trace of its location was lost. Efforts
have been made at different tim es
to discover the site of the old man
sion, but heretofore had been of no
avail. On the farm Of Mr.. Murray,
about 200 yards from the main road
running through the town, there is
small rise of ground covered with
thick underbrush, which has not
been cleared away. 1t was here
that Mr.. Patrick Murray, son OF
David Murray, one day last week,
made the important disc oVery of the
location of the old church The

were kept. As soon as the fact bt
came known Of the discovery, many
people gathered on the ground, and
in the researches. that were made

church relics, such az gold pieces

1t is reported also that cross had
been found. with Father Marquette

the mater, and o guard is now on

A YANKEE, who was making rail,
way Journey across the continent,
was reluctant to go to sleep, lest he
should miss the announcement of ar
rival at a certain station. The guard,
however, begged of him to take his
sleep in comfort, and assured him
that nothing should prevent his being
called at the proper time. With
many expressions of misgiving, and
many cautions to the guard not to
fail him, the anxious passenger at
length went to sleep. And the guard,
after all, forgot to call him, and did
not think of it until the train had
travelled d considerable distance too
far But trains arc not frequent in
these parts, and as the rules of the
train service arc not so rigid as in
mere civilized regions, the conscious
stricken guard succeeded in inducing
the driver to back The carriages to
the station in question. Presently
they were back at the place desired,
and the guard called the passenger.
"All right" said the passenger quiet
ly and without stirring. "But we
are now at tho station. observed the
guard, sand we shall be giving on
sharp" "Thank you" said the pas.
senger composedly, with the curious
Yankee emphasis on the second
word, but not moving. Tho guard
thought he was fast asleep, and was
about to shake him up, when the
passenger said,''All right, thank you:
the doctor said / must take my pills
at this station"

Phil. Sheridan at Sedan.

The following vivid account is
taken from Col Hoffman's reminis
cences Of two wars:
"At tho battle Of Sc Ian. Sheridan
stood near Count Bismark. Toward
its close he shut up lis glass, and,
turning to Bismark, said, The battle
is won The Count replied that he
would be glad to think so, but saw
no signs of it yet. In minute or
two more the French gave way.
farming his glass toward Sedan,
Sheridan observed, tho Emperor
is there.' Bismark answered that it
could not be; that tho Emperor was
not such a fool as to place himself in
that situation. BOOKING again,
Sheridan said, 'He is there anyhow.
He had drawn his Inclusion from
the immense staff he saw and the
confusion reigning around.
SHERIDAN was right. The Emper-
or and his staff were prisoners of
war. The Emperor had behaved
with the greatest personal courage,
and subsequently,, when discussions
arose between the French Generals
as to who was responsible for the
great disaster, be behaved with the
greatest generosity. But he should
not have been at Sedan. The post
of usefulness and of danger for him
was at Paris, and not with the army.

PETER COOPER,
The Old Man Advises the President
on Finances.

New York, June e.-Peter Cooper,
the candidate for President of the
United States at the last election, has
just addressed long letter 10 Presi-
dent Hayes, criticising the past fnan.
cial policy of the sovereign Govern.
ment, and also marking out proper
course, in his opinion, to be pursued
in the future. lie begins his letter
with these words: ALLOW me to
offer you my heartfelt thanks for the
wise and independent cause you have
adopted in the discharge of the re.
sponsible and difficult duties that you
have been called upon to perform. .
Cooper argues that our national cur
rency must be receivable for all pur.
poses throughout the country, and
inter-convertible with three per cent.
Government bonds. Such currency
would have been worth more to the
American people than all the gold
mines that have ever been discovered
on the American continent. He ad-
vises the silver be withdrawn from
circulation and used in the purchase
of foreign bonds, and the fractional
paper currency to be revived.
