human life on the planet Mars might be

the light cannot be so bright, but the
organs of sight may be so much more

In excavating for the foundation of a
house in the street Of Geneva, Switzer-

number of piles, identical with those
found in lacustrine villages, have been
uncovered, circumstance which points
to the conclusion that the river was once
much wider than at present, extending
probably to the foot of the steep hill
which marked the limits of the ancient
city. In the same neighborhood has also
been found a sculptured slab, which ap-

A New Railroad.

The Wisconsin Central II. Il. has a
party of engineers on new route
from Portage to Dubuque, looking it
over. A route will probably be
vcyed early il the spring and work
commenced. The route will go
down The Wisconsin river through
Sauk City, Mazomanie and Arena,
leaving the Wisconsin at the latter
place, striking across to Dodgcville,
thence to Plattcville and Dubuque.
This route will open up rich coun-
try, and is very much needed,
especially south and west Of Arena.
1t will give the Wisconsin Central a
splendid outlet for our lumber into

The Origin Of "Dixie.'

A writer in the Baltimore Gazette in.
quires about the origin of the word
" Dixie" and the editor replies as fol-
lows:
Some years ago, long before the war. a
very musical family by the name of
Dixie lived in Worcester, Mass. One of
the brothers, Walston Dixie, We believe,
decided to apply his talents in the negro
minstrelsy fine, and sosn the famous
Dixie Minstrels were known from one
end of the country to the other. This
same founder of the troupe wrote the
celebrated song "Dixie's Land" which
attained such popularity. 1t was verify
the land for him, as he found in the
southern states the germs of the quaint
negro song which he brushed up and
placed in his programme. The south
adopted the song, and hence allowed this
gifted minstrel Of Massachusetts, to give
that section of the country q new name,
which will slways stick. Many songs
were adopted and sectionixed in this
way. Our own "Yankee Doodle" was
written by an Englishman a. 4 satire,
but our ancestors picked it right up and
rave it a home.

A Maruihcent Tomb.

It is expected that the mausoleum of
the late Duke of Brunswick at Geneva
will be completed next month. 1t is
modelled after the celebrated La Scala
monument at Verona. and will cost
about $500, 600. The monument stands
on a raised platform approached by a
noble fight Of steps which are tlanked
by two lions coucbant, in red marble,
and on each side of it is a colossal sphinx.
The marble statues of six ancestors of
the duke have been placed around the
urcophagus. The sarcophagus itself
will be placed in . small tabernacle of
white marble, the roof of it being sup
ported by six columns. Upon it will be
placed q full length statue of the duke
with q lion couchant at his feet and q
winged angel at each corner. Above
the tabernacle rises q pyramid in red
marble, each side having q niche in
which is placed the figure Of an angel in
white, the gables being sculptured and
surmounted by golden crowns. From
the center of the pyramid springs a Pc
destal in white with red capitals, on
which will be placed q bronze equestrian
statue of the duke. The inches of the
pedestal will be filled with statues of
the twelve apostles, also in white.
