AN ANTIQUARIAN DISCOVERY
Pail Mall Gazette.

ldii Aldl Ndn'll'.
An interesting and probably uuiqne
discovery has been made close to the
town of Randers, in Jutlanl, of a grave,
dating probably from the sixth or sew
enth century, containing the remains
of q woman who has been buried in her
richest attire, it being still possibly to
trace her dress, which had been inter-
woven with gold thread. Across the
chest were laid two baGds with kind
of gold lace OH the top of which again
were laid some ornaments composed OF
colored glass beads, some having au
outer shell of gold leaf, and several cut
like diamonds, as we'll as small per-
forated, silver coin. To the left Of the
body was knife, a pair of scissors, O
small milestone (for needles). and a
small glass cup, which was broken in
pieces. In the tomb was also found the
remains of wooden pail with iron
hands, which had contained the food
supposed necessary to. support the de-
ceased on her journey to Hades. This
Discovery affords another proof of the
exceptionally high position occupied by
the women in Scandinavia during heath
en- times, in comparison with nearly all
other heather countries. The body
had evidently originally been enclosed
in coffin Of rough oaken planks. Great
interest is taken in the scientific exam
nation of the silver coin, by which the
actual period may be at least approx
mately ascertained.

Danville. and several of the co]ored peo-
pie were killed. The Republicans have
done this because they have lately dis
covered that, having lost control of the

them to the advantage of tbs Demo
Gratis party. The Republicans now re

HOW no BEAT WRIGHT.

The Democrats who vote for Will
son are giving an indirect vote for
the Republican candidate for Gov
ernv--Au that Wilson can possibly
accomplish VIII - the defeat of
Judge Wright. Nobody of any -~rG
of information believes there is even
q ghost of a chance of Wilson's
election. 1t must be Wright or
Hawkins. Under these circumstances
the right thing for every Democrat
to do is 10 work and vote for Wright.
The legislature after all has TO set
tie the State debt question. The
Governor has nothing to do with it.
What then is the use Of a Demo
crat voting for Wilson? If he should
be elected he can neither compel the
legislature to settle or prevent that
body from doing so if majority Of
the members choose to come to terms
with the bondholder5. If the Repu'
diators have majority in the Gen.
eral Assembly they can vote against
levying a tax TO meet the interest on
the bonds and Reputation is accom-
plished without the passage Of any
law whatever. We hope all the De-
mocrats in the State will come to
their senses before the election and
vote the straight ticket for Govern
or. There is no sense in this divi-
sion. Nothing can be accomplished
by it except the defeat of the Dem
ocratic candidate, Judge Wright.

common usage of the party, was e.
titled to name the candidate, and
not being able to unite On either Of
her worthy and distinguished citi-
zens whose names were presented
for the place, She gave the nomlna-
ton to Col. King. This we doubt
not was entirely unexpected by him,
thought is an honor and an express
sion Of confidence on the part of the
convention that no man will esteem
and appreciate more highly than he
will. He is not a seeker after polit1
cal prefermeut, though he has never
failed to respond to the calls Of his
party when hard and effective work
in the field is asked at his hands.
He is a gentleman Of undoubted
ability On the stump, and one who if
elected, as he should,and we believe
will be, will unquestionably dare to
do his duty in tue legislature. He
is a man who will command votes Of
honest men of all parties, for he is
