The excavation of the state house

apsrations of nature which are of in

evidence is preserved in the earth itself.
After the forest had grown up, the trees
being of considerable size, the river
brought in sand and gravel, filling up
about the trees to a depth Of two or
three feet. Then, after the trees decayed
and disappeared, the soil filed up the
holes left in the gravel. Then, after 8
long period, another forest grew up, the
river again surrounded the trees with
sand to the depth of two or three feet,
the trees disappeared. and the holes left
were filed up with soil. The workmen
are now using the sand in preparing the
foundations of the state house, and al
they take the gravel aud sand away tbs

The food passes from the stomach at

tated by going to sleep on the right side.
Water and other fluids flow equally on

propel them on a level than upward.
The heart propels the blood to every part
of the body at each successive beat, and
it is easy to see that it the body is in a

power, and more perfectly than could
possibly be done if one portion of the
body were elevated above horizontal

Ga the other hand, if one portion Of
the body is ,o2 low, the blood does not

Details of its Capture by Gen. Philipo-
vich.
Vienna, Aug. 21.-The official re-
port of Gen. Philipovich shows that
the capture of Serajovo was the result
of the combined operations of his own
force and that of Gen. Tegethoff, who
formed the attacking column against
the northern side of Serajovo, and op-
Grated the cannonade against the castle
at $50 a. M, the insurgent artillery re-
plying. Meanwhile the force of Gen.
Philipovich divided in two columns
and was favored by thick fog in effect
ing the turning movement. A column
was directed against the insurgents po-
sition to tbe westward of Serajovo, and
commenced the attack at 7:30, a. M,
but the main column, driving the in
surgents with difficulty from their
positions. only reached its appointed
post on the heights south of the city at
1870, when the insurgents cannon were
silenced, and the Austrian infantry ad-
vanced in swarms. Gen. Philipovich
says:
Fighting of the most horrible kind
ensued, which lasted until 1:30 p. m.
The troops were fired upon from every
door and window. Even the women,
and sick and wounded insurgents in
military hospitals participated in in

THE propositions submitted to the
monetary conference at Paris, by the
United States delegates now under dis
cussion are as follows:
First-It is the opinion of this assem-
bly, that it is not desirable that silver be
excluded from free coinage in Europe
and the United States. On the contrary
this assembly believes it Is desirable
that unrestricted coinage of silver and
its use as money, of unlimited legal
tender should be retained where they
expand, and as far as practicable re-
stored where they have ceased to exist.
Second-Use of both gold and silver
as unlimited legal tender money may
be safely adopted; first by equalizing
them at a relation fixed by international
agreement, and second by granting to
each metal at relation fixed on equal
terms Of coinage, making no discrimi-
nation between them.

worthy Of being followed out by others
who look for success in the field of pol

ter the novelty of seeing and hearing
him is passed, he will gravitate back to
humber place in the current records
of the time. But as new outgrowth
OF our social and political system he is
well worth studying and analyzing.
