RELICS OF THE MOUND BUILDERS
A letter in the st. Louis Globe, Democrat
from Warrenton, Mo-, says Excite
ment prevails here to-day over the dis
covery of the remains and relics of some
of the ancient mound builders. Several
crypts or vaults walled in with dressed
limestone have been opened upon the
bluffs of the blackwater river, about two
miles from town, in which are found
specimens of pottery, stone pipes and
various implements, whose use is not
known. Twenty-four skulls were taken
out to- day, all of which are SO frail,
however, as to be difficult of removal.
The same is true of the pottery, which
is evidently of very ancient type, and
upon some of which are uninfelligible
Inscriptions. The vaults so far explored
are about ten feet square and six feet
high. There are large number ofthese
mounds on the banks of the Blackwater
at this place, some of them covered with
very large trees.

THE ART OF pRoLoNaINe LIFE.

People generally desire long life and
good health. Sickness and premature
death are almost always due to viola
tons of the laws that govern our physi-
cal being, and of which the masses are
ignorant. If men knew better they
would do better; but how can they
avoid an evil that they know not of p
While efforts are made through the pub
lie schools to give each child so-called
common English education, yet the
children are permitted to grow up and
enter upon the responsible duties of 40.
tive life, profoundly ignorant of the
structure of their own bodies, and the
laws of physical being upon which their
health and lives depend. They are sent
to school and crammed with arithmetic,
grammar, and geography, by teachers
who, in many instances, have never
studied physiology and hygiene. They
are taught to locate the mountains and
trace the rivers of foreign countries, but
are never taught to locate the vital organs
and glands Of their own bodies, or trace
the veins, arteries, and nerves, in their
various ramifications. They are in
strueted in the flew of the tides, and the
course of the ocean currents, and the
philosophy of winds and storms but
they have no correct conception of the
relative effects upon their health of
breathing pure or impure air, nor has
their attention ever been called to the
Importance of keeping their bodies clean
and healthy by regular bathing. The
criminality Of such neglect in teaching
becomes apparent when we consider
that the masses ignorantly violating the
laws of health, bring upon themselves
sickness, suffering, and death, that
might otherwise be avoided. In this
condition of things we welcome into be-
ing any work that is calculated to i'm
part to the masses knowledge of the
structure Of their own bodies, the laws
of health. and the Importance Of OBJ
serving those laws. We find DIR. Pierce's
Common Sense Medical Adviser to be
just such a work. It is physiological
and pathological, and the major part of
it should be converted into textbook
for the use of common schools. Its care
full study will enable the healthy to pre-
serve their health, and the sickly to re
gain health. Every parent should read
!; it, and as their children become of prop
er age instruct them in the all-importani
truths it contains. Were this done
} much suffering and premature death
, would be prevented, and many youth
, saved from life of shame and licentious
ness. The book contains nearly on.

The ERIcssoN.-This ship. which
arrived in our harbor last evening. She
is q three-decker, measuring sixteen
hundred tons and has carrying capac-
ity of about twenty-three hundred tons
of coal. She was chartered by Mr. Shat
tuck, Of the Seattle Coal Company,
while on his mission to New York. She
was built before the late civil war as
compressed air side-w steamer,
aud as such ran few years on the
Eastern coast. Her protector expected
when he built her that she would be
able to attain the speed of twenty miles
an hour at least, but, we are informed,
her running time never exceeded one
halt that speed. During the war she
was used by the Government as sort
OF transport steamer, and after the close
OF the war she was sold and converted
into ship. She is considered fast
sailer and will be quite an acquisition
to our already large coal fleet. The Go
liah picked her up off Port Townsend
aud towed her to this port.

FROM La CoSNER.-A gentleman
from down Sound informs us tina. har-
vesting has already commenced at and
around La Conner, and the demand for
harvest hands is quite good. though he
thinks they will not be able to COM
mand as good wages as they did last
harvest. Owing to the advent of con-
siderable quantity of harvesting ma
chinery. such as improved reapers,
binders. threshers, mowers, etc, the
work of taking care of the grain crop
this year in that locality will be con-
siderably lightened, as compared with
previous years. The firm of Caches
Bros. are erecting new store building
on their lots at La Conner and intend
moving the old structure on some other
property owned by them.

of brush, but which proved to have q
rail concealed in it across the track.

the engineer blew down brakes and
succeeded in checking the train suf-
ticiently to prevent ditching the train,
the engine receiving but slight injury.

NEW STEAMER.-Capt. Gove's new
steamer, under way of construction at
the Belltown ship yard, will be launch
ed this evening at about o'clock.
The carpenter work is all done and she
was receiving a coat of paint last
evening. The little steamer. which
has not been christened yet, is a stern
wheeler Of rather neat and staunch
build. Her dimensions arc, length of
keel 76 feet g inches, breadth of beam,
II f., depth of hold, 4 #. The ma
chinery winch she Will receive as soon
as possible after the launch is almost
entirely new. The boiler of the Black
Diamond will be used after being
heightened and made over. With that
exception. we learn her machinery will
be new. and of sufficient power to send
the little craft along at good rate of
speed. Quite q number are intending
to be st the launch. where she will re-
ceive her name. We believe she is the
second steamer on the Sound ever
launched side to the water, the swift
little Messenger being the first.
