lions which were made lead DIR. Hughes to
believe that the entire mound is an ancient
burying place that the corpses were simply
placed at or a very little below the surface OF
the earth and then covered with stones, and
that subsequently,, from natural causes, soil
accumulated above these stones. The bones
OF the skeletons found were in a remarkable
state of preservation-sO perfect, indeed,
that the sex of each could easily be deter
mined, though of course they were brittle
and easily broken when once exposed to the
air. An idea OF the remoteness OF the time
when these remains were Inferred may be
conveyed by the fact that stumps exist on
the mound, cut many years ago, Of trees
two feet in diameter. If DR.. Hughes the
DRY is correct-that natural causes covered
these stones with several feet OF soil-this
process alone must have taksn many years,
and it could only have been after this cover
ing of soil was made that the large trees
could have begun their growth. We write
this without having given the subject any
fresh study, but another fact may Indicate
to those better versed in it, an idea of the
age of these bones. 1t Is thls-the corpses
were, in every case, buried with the face
down. That this discovery Is not merely OF
some casual buriais Ut one side of an eleva-
ton of earth previously existing, IL attcsted
by the fact that some fifteen years ago a
skeleton, similarly situated as those we have
above mentioned, was found on tine opposite
side Of this same little mound. Another cir
cumstance OF interest DR.. Hughes tells us.
Under the breast of one of the Skeletons, q
female skeleton we will surinise, was found
an ornament, which was no doubt suspended
about the neck, q shell. now petritied, bu
probably at one time a very beautiful jewel
The subject Is one which should awaken TIL,
interest of our scientific people, and W,
: hope they will take the matter in hand. ant

to those who can read them Alright.

A Lawyers TRICK.

The most novel and successful plan
for clearing a criminal from o prospec-
tive term in the ~penitentiary, was per-
formed in Chicago last Saturday. A
young man was taken before the coun-
ty court as a candidate for the insane
asylum. He had a most eloquent and
able lawyer who massed about the
court room the young mans betrothed,
his parents and other near relatives,
to produce what lawyers call outside
pressure. The client was subjected to
a most searching and extended exami-
nation and he showed himself to be Of
sound memory and coherent speech.
But the counsel, in addressing the jury
argued most pathetically In flavor of the
young man being adjudged non con,pos
mentis. His weeping relatives who
filled the o appealed through him
to the jury he said, that the young man
be removed to the asylum that he
might be cured of his malady. When
at last the jurymen were well worked
up the orator closed with "a burning
%peroration and the twelve good
men and true" retired weeping to the
jury box.
In a little while they returned with
a verdict that the young man, the eli
emit who had SO long filled most salts
factorily a responsible position in a
bank, had been insane, mad, for the
past two years. Thereupon the coun-
sci and friends warmly congratulated
the lunatic-in-law, and took their de-
parture, while the poor fellow with the
lost head was removed to the insane
hospital.
The strange feature of the case
t%ranspired Immediately afterwards.
The young mans madness. had the
modern method in it, but to what
amount we are not informed. Only
the bank will lose the money while
the directors will contemplate the facts
with smothered profanity. OF course
aperson who is insane could not be i'm
prisoned in a penitentiary for theft,
and besides the one in question is al
ready adjudged crazy and put under
medical treatment. So the young man
in the case escapes the greater disgrace
Of a felon's cell by occupying a berth in
a lunatic asylum. H tNT
A shrewd trick truly, and it is
strange if some effort be not made to
override the cheat and bring the often
der to his just deserts. But that is
not in the spirit Of Chicago justice.
In a few months the legalized mailman
will be pronounced perfectly sane, and
released to his family, when he can
marry his betrothed on the money he
stole from the bank.

Prof. Kuapu,s Terrible predictiou.

The fact that SO many fish are dying off
the coast of Florida calls to mind the
awful prediction of Prof. Knapp.
From the juxtaposition of certain PLAN
cts to our earth, he predicts that one
half of the population of our globe, in
Guiding man and all kinds of animals,
and even vegetable life, will perish be-
fore or during 1880. He said that this
desolation would commence by the fish
es OF the sea dying, and pestilence and
famine occurring in more southern lat
itudes. The famine in China and the
yellow fever scourge in the south and
now the pestilence among the fishes in
southern waters are so many steps in
fulfllment of Prof. Knapp's prophe-
cies.

A HUNT After Bats.

One Of the funniest stories have
heard for very long time, says q
writer in the Load Sporting and
Dramatic News, is my friend Mr..
Eccles' description of how he caught
innumerable bats one night. 1t was
many years ago when he was young
in his profession, and while ON Q
tour with q Provincial company.
He had taken lodgings in q clean
but rather dilapidated little house.
Soon after going to bed he fell asleep,
and soon after falling asleep he was
awakened by q strange, fluttering
noise as of n frightened bird, in the
curtains of his bed. He sprang up,
struck a light, and saw q dark col.
ored little creature with wings blum.
dering about the room. Not being
well acquainted with natural history,
Mr.. Eccles did not recognize 1t as
q bat, but determined to catch 1t II
possible, aud examine it carefully In
the morning. Taking up soft felt
hat, he began the hunt, and tried to
capture the intruder for a long time
in vain; but at last he pounced up.
on it, carefully took it from under
the hat, shut It in a drs wer, listened
to it's Intellectual attempts to escape
wanting to be sure he had really
caught it-and went to bed to dream
of flying dragons. But he was not
destained to sleep for long.
Hardly had he dOsed of when an
other fluttering awakened him, and,
lighting another match, he found
another bat. After this one he had
another hunt, caught it, put 1t in the
drawer with its brother and again
went to bed. Again, however, he
was awakened in similar manner;
bats came not in single spies-bnt
if the expression be pardonable-in
battaliOns.
Mr.. Eccles hunted diligently and
enthusiastically, making quite a
collection of specimens, and putting
them all with great care in the draw
err. Heated with the chase, he then
opened the window, and, tired out
ut last enjoyed n few minutes
sleep.
Waking with the morning light
he jumped out of the bed and open
ed the drawer very cautiously, q
, fraction of au inch ut time, to look
for his bats; but, 10! and behold
there we're no bats there. He open
. ed the drawer wide, and tten dis
covered it had 10 back to it. He
| had. in fact. been passing all the
3 night in catching the same bat
which had flown out of the back o
. the drawer as soon as he had put i
n in at the front, and when the win
dow was opened had finally escap
| ed.
