A Hint at Prehistoric Mystery.

Recently mound was excavated on
the farm of Mr.. Benbow, I've miles from
Rutledge. A canal some six feet wide
was dug from the outer base to the cen
ter, distance of about forty feet, and
some twelve feet at the center. Moth
ing was discovered to tell who, or what
race of people, were buried there, nor
the date of their burial, but it must
have been long time ago, inasmuch as
a chestnut tree stood on the very top of
the mound, sixty-1ve. years ago, that
measured nearly six feet in diameter.
We found numerous human bones and
teeth under layers of asort of cemented
crust all the way through the whole
distance, which dissolved into dust soon
after being dug up. Many people be-
ieve it to have been an ancient burial
place for Indians, but they never pos
sessed tools to execute the fine carvings
upon the hardest rock that have been
pIowed up in the immediate neighbor-
hood of the mound for the last sixty
years, nor had they firearms to scatter
the bullets all over the surrounding
fields, and the mystery of who or what
race of people lived and died here be-
fore Columbus discovered America still

Where Our Socialists Are Coming From

We have reason to believe that few
Americans perceive the danger that is
daily growing in their presence under
the shrewd and fostering protection Of
Prince Bismarck. Not many months
ago, When Europe was panic-stricken by
fo-r successive attempts in one year
upon the lives of three monarchs,
Prince Bismarck, by the famous bill
passed in the Reichstag, laid low the So
cialistic propaganda in Germany. By
the repressive measures of this bill
100000 Germans were deprived of
their constitutional rights. Of these
100000, the German Government, su-
premely conscious of its own best inter
ests, is now making attempts, direct and
indirect, to drive large portion to this
country. In first directing his attention
to Socialism in America, the writer was
moved by motives of pure curiosity.
No one could have been more surprised
at the discovery of SO perfect an organ
ization, the fanatic earnestness OF its
followers. and the strength of its num-
bers. Nor can we view without grave
apprehension the fact that Prince Bis
marck is at present secretly encourag-
ing the emigration to the United States
of prescribed German agitators, and de-
fraying their expenses from the enor-
nous secret-service fund at the COM
mand of the Imperial Chancellor

ADrunNsrd,s Revenge.

During the exhibition of some wild
beasts, few weeks ago, at the theatre
of a small town in Thuringia, Germany,
a frightful scene occurred. A leopard
was not nearly SO submissive to the
tanner as usual, and dashed wildly about
the cage. Suddenly two of the bars
gave away. and the animal sprung with
tremendous bound among the specta-
tors in the pit. The terrified people
rushed pell-men to the door, but the
beast attacked the hindermost of them
with teeth and claws, and in four
minutes had killed woman and child,
and fearfully lacerated four other per-
sons about the face and neck. The
moment the leopard escaped from his
cage. the beast tanner and his assistants
hurried after it, armed with spears, but
were unable to overcome it until it
dropped dead from its wounds. On
examining the broken bars of the cage
it was discovered that they had been
fled. An attendant, lately dismissed
for drunkenness. has been arrested on
usspicion OF being the author Of this
atrocious deed,

The Next CenSus.

Gen. Walker, Superintendent of the
next census, tells reporter of the New
Haven Register that the main body of
the work will be undertaken next fall.
There will be two or three months of
preparation, and the census itself will
be taken in a months time. The statis-
tical matter in reference to the popula-
tion of cities and towns he will give the
public in very short time. The last
census he gave in printed form in 1872; !;
this time the period will be much shorter.
He contrasts this work with previous
censuses, which were Of little practical
value. The census taken in 1860 was
nominally published in 1867, but really
not till 1868. The census taken in 1850
was not published till 1859. There was
nothing but historical interest to work
done in that way. The country was
growing and the population changing SO
rapidly that such censuses were far from
the actual state of the country when
published. The new Census law, he
said, put extra work on the Superin-
tendent. The month the census was
being taken he ikened to battle, when
the General must be at his headquar-
ters. Having taken one census, he was
better qualified to take another, for he
knew what improvements to make.
This was one reason why he could COM
plete the census much more rapidly
than before. When the work was being
done he could be at Washington with
his fingers on the telegraph keys, SO that
if there were break here or there it
ould instantly be repaired.
