and as such il stands unchallenged before the
world. IL is perfect as a Mower, as a Reaper, or
as a Combined Machine. The reaping attachment
Is either Dropper, Self Rake. or both, making
a perfect machine in either form. II is made en-
tirey Of iron and steel except the tongue and lift
levers. IL also has separate lever for fitting the
points Of the fingers or guards up or down both in
reaping or moving. IL also has an adjustible
reel which can be raised or lowered by lever
whilst the machine is cutting.
As Simplicity of Construction
is indicative Of efficiency and also marks the ge-
MUS OF the inventor, take pleasure in asserting
that one person eau successfully operate the Ex-
celsior, and this may de done by BOY or aged
man too feeble to work in any other part Of the
field such is its ease Of management. Two indie
pendent Drive Wheels of large diameter impart
greater power and cause the machine TO run east
er over uneven ground, and this, and our accu-
rate and beautifully proportional cearidg. are the
main reasons why the Excelsior runs so easily and
lasts so long. The Excelsior has the reputation
Of being the hghtest draft machine in the coun-
try. The dram has been tested in different con-
ditions of grass and uneven ground at various

A Mound Discovery in Japan.

A mound similar to those so common
in our western states was recently found
and opened in Japan, and scientific ex-
animation Of its contents affords ground
for q very strong argument that canni.
balism was practiced, perhaps habitual-
ly, by some of tie ancient inhabitants
Of that country. That the Ormori
mound was not a tomb was sufficiently
shown by the fact that the skeletons
found in it we're never complete, and
that the bones lay about in disorder,
and in no relation to each other, whereas
the bones Of buried bodies would be
found approximately in some position
possible in life. Moreover, the human
bones were found among those Of other
animals, and, like them, were broken
into lengths convenient for cooking and
eating, and were deeply scratched in
those portions, such as the joints, from
which the eater would find most diff
Guilty in removing the flesh. The dis
covery is curious one, as it is the first
indication of canniA'slis1n among people
whose characteristics at present known
strongly negative the prac ice by them
of 50 horrible a custom. But similar
evidence has been held by archrologists
sufficient to prove the former existence
Of cannivals in North America.

writer in the Boston Herald says:
II. D. Thoreau was once called upon by
Mrs. r. W. Emerson, whose flower gar
den was being scratched up by the hens,
to help her devise some plan to prevent
further damage. After consideration
Of the ways and means, Mrs. Emerson
hit upon the expedient Of putting linen

Of humor, restrained the laughter which
was nearly choking him, and gravely,

or so the fowls did no harm, and the
Emerson household were greatly pleased.
Finally there was beard an exultant
crow. The rooster had scratched through
his bandages and was triumphing over
his exploit. The hens followed suit,
and Mrs. Emerson was reduced to de-
spair, while Thoreau went to the woods,
where he could let his laughter have

The English Hotel Clerk.

An evidently well-posted correspon-
dent writes to an exchange about a large
London hotel in which the clerks in the
Office never seem to know the names of
any of their guests. They are distin-
guished by the numbers of their rooms,
like ccnvicts in prison. For instance,
a visitor for Mr.. A. sees that, for hotel
purposes, that gentleman is known as
No. 500. He il told to follow Master
Buttons on voyage of discovery, and
is conducted first to the dining-room,
where Fl We hundred persons may be din
ing or supping. If the guest does not
answer 10 his number shouted out at the
door by the aforesaid Buttons, he issup-
posed not to be present, and the visitor
follows his leader to the drawing. room,
generally crowded with ladies and gen
Jlemen reading or conversing. "No.
500 is wanted" "a visitor for No.
500" is again called out, this time,
perhaps, with success, and the unfortu-
nate owner of the number, before the
gaze of all the assembled company, rises
to greet his friend.

An Astonished Editor.

An exchange says: eve find upon
our table one of the newest of pictures.
1t is beautiful in design, small, but
showing great artistic skill il its make
up. The prevailing colors are green and
black, the two blending so tremendously
that the effect is pleasing in the highest
degrees. We shall not, of course, pre-
sumo to give an exact description OF this
picture, but some of the characters look
SO noble, so striking, that we cannot re-
frain from describing them. The head
center, or rather the hero Of the picture,
holds in his left hand a banner, in his
right hand sword; his hat is thrown on
the ground, his head is thrown back, his
left foot extended, and, taken altogether,
his appearance is that of one challeng~
ing another to mortal combat, waiting
for the other fellow to knock off the chip.
His eyes are cast upward, resting on the
word fl Hello! what's this? Great
snakes! if it isn't q fve.dollar bill!
We took it fer some new kind of chrome
that had come in the mali. But we see
how it is-either our devil has been
robbing bank or some delinquent sub.
scriber has been conscience.stricken.'
