A REMARKABLE DISCOVERY,
The Petrified Re ma ins Of an Indian
Chief

Tuesday afternoon, while Messrs.
John l.. Hampton and Samuel r. Wal
ker were engaged in digging trench on
a piece of ground belonging to the latter,
about two hundred yards from the Shell
Bank, on the Eastern Branch, back of
Bladensbutg, their implements struck, ,as
they thought, very hard and substan-
tial substance, and concluding that it
was only a large stone, continued to re-
move the earth to pry the stone from its
position. After working for some time
they managed to clear away sufficient
earth to permit view of the huge mass.
They were greatly astonished to find
that it resembled In shape a human
being, and was very weighty. After
many futile attempts to raise the mass,
they wisely concluded to rig o derrick.
Mr.. Walker sped away to his home and
soon returned with the requisite appara-
tus, which they speedily put in working
order. Placing strong ropes around each
end of the body, they began to haul
away, and when the object was brought
out in full view their establishment
knew no bounds. So unexpected was
the discovery that in their great excite
ment they almost lost control Of them
selves, aud had the rope not been twisted
around q tree, to make the hauling

Marrying Bish ops.

Bishop Fraser-"Baby'' Frazer, as he
used to be called at the university and
as he continued to be called all through
his life-is the third Bishop who has
taken wife within the past few years,
and thus exposed himself to all the
secondhand satire of Sydney Smith:
'"How can Bishop marry? How can he
firt? The most he can say is, i will see
you in the vestry after service.'" The
Bishop of Exeter was the first to break
the ice and to plunge into matrimony,
and still more recently the Bishop of
Litchfeld has been married during the
occupancy Of his see.
But these cases are very rare, and
when few years ago one of the most
distinguished Bishops in East Anglia,
eminent for his learning, made up his
mind to take wife he resigned his see
and quietly retired to cottage at Clap
ham, where he spent the rest Of his days
with his books and his wife, and spent
them apparently very pleasantly. The
Episcopal Bench now numbers only two
bachelors, the Bishop of Durham (Dr.
Lightfoot) and the Bishop of Ely (Dr.
Woodford), and suspect neither of them
is marrying man; for when an old
friend a few years ago told one of them
that he ought to be married, he asked,
"Why? Because" was the answer,
"St. Paul says Bishop should be the
husband Of one wife," "Yes," was the
Bishops retort, "the husband of one
only one"

A Colorado spider Story.

. A short distance from Buena Vista,
says the Leadville (Col.) Chronicle, is a
cave inhabitated by spiders which differ
from other spiders in their enormous
size, and are quite useful. to the needy
people Of that region. The cave was
discovered last December by a party of
sight-seers, and the spiders and their
work were witnessed. On entering the
cave one is first struck by the funny
looking webs. They are worked like
webs OF other spiders, but every fibre is
ten times as large as the ones woven by
ordinary spiders. On passing further
into the cave the spiders are encoun-
tered. They are about the size of small
birds and make a strange sound while
weaving their web. There webs are so
tough and the fibres SO large that it is
almost an impossibility to break down a
web.
Some four weeks ago while looking at
the cave, miner got to examining the
webs. Their strands were about the size
Of a number II thread, and he thought
that they could be used for thread.
Having needle in his possession be
broke off one Of the strands, and found
that it fitted the needle. Sewing on a
loose button to test the efficacy he found
it as strong as silk thread, and that it
answered his every purpose. Since then
the people have flocked in and carried
away hosts Of the webs but the spiders
do not appear to object in the least.
There is some talk among capitalists of
starting thread factory there and using
the webs for thread.

The great surgeon Cline, when once
consulted by an anxious mother as to
what she should do to prevent a girl
from becoming deformed, answered: "Let
her have no stays, and let her run about
like the boys" We would indorse this
wise rule, and would add, "Let the moth
ers of England clothe the girls precisely
as they clothe the boys permitting
Knickerbockers if they like, and let them
add the one Distinguishing mark of light,
loose-howing gown, and the girls will
grow into women as vigorous, as healthy
and as well formed in body as their com
panions of the sterner SEX"
The necessity of especial care in
adapting clothing to season was illustra-
ted from the physiological rule first dis
covered by the late Mr.. Miner, that the
body, Independent of any will of its
own, underwent two pounds of waste
and of increase of weight, the waste
commencing towards the close of Septem-
ber, and the increase in the first weeks
Of April. Warm clothing ought to be-
gin in September or early in October,
and ought not to be left off until the
close of April. For underclething next
the skin he strongly recommended silk,
and with that light, feecy flannel.
Thick, heavy flannel, and every material
that absorbed and held the water excre.
tions from the skin, were at all times bad
Heavy clothes were bad, and really nc

easier, the suspended body would have
been preeipated back into it's former
resting-place, and no doubt some Of its
portions would have been broken. The
object had thus excited these
men almost to frenzy was moth
ing more nor less than the body
of human being. The men placed
itupon the ground near by, and procur-
ing some water from the Branch, pro-
ceeded to wash off the dirt. Each dose
of water revealed something more and
more startling to their astonished eyes.
At last the dirt was all of, and on closer
examination the body proved to be that
of an Indian petrifed-turned into
stone. 1t measured six feet three inches
in length, and was broad in proportion.
The chest, arms and legs were magnifi-
Gently shaped and we'll preserved, and
the head and the rest were perfect. 1t
had evidently lain upon its back. One
leg was slightly drawn up, and the left
hand was clenehed, but there was moth
ing in 1t. The right hand grasped TOM
ahawk. The hair was rumpled and
matted. A large hole was found in the
forehead over the right eye, which
looked as if it had been made by bull
let. The theory advanced was that this
was some great chieftain who had fallen
in battle with the early settlers, and his
braves being worsted, were obliged to re-
treat. Not having time to carry his
body off with them, and not wishing the
whites to fall heir to it, they hastily dug
a grave and here deposited the mortal
remains of their beloved leader. Messes.
Hampton and Walker believed that
they had made wonderful discovery.
After viewing the body to their hearts
content, they procured vehicle. and,
with the assistance of the derrick and
two colored men, deposited the body
therein and conveyed it to the railroad
station and made arrangements for it's
transportation to this city. Mr.. Walker
yesterday came to this city, visited Pro-
fessor Baird at the Smithsonian institu-
tion, and made arrangements for the
body to be deposited at that institution
temporarily. 1t will arrive at the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad early this morn
ing and will be Immediately removed
to the Smithsonian by the aid of Knox's
Express, in order to- avoid the. crowd
which would gather later in the day.
The great curiousity will be placed on
exhibition, and will remain until the
National Museum is ready for occupa-
ton. Messrs. Hampton and Walker
have determined to become public bene-
factors, and will donate their curiosity
to the government. 1t will be formally
transferred to the authorities about the
middle of summer. President Hayes
will be asked to receive the donation on
the part of the government. Professor
Baird and other eminent scientists pro-
nounce this discovery to be of inestim-
able value. A petrifed human body is
regarded as one of the greatest curiousi;;
ties. The petrification of human flesh is
matter of doubt not only among the
general citizens but among some scien-
fists. The skeptical are no longer in
need of tangible proof. The body weighs
nearly 1000 pounds and is in perfect
form and preservation, the features of
the face depicting the death agony.

An Emperor at Eighty-Three.
London Telegraph


Yesterday was the eighty-third birth
day of the venerable German Emperor
the Doyen, of the worlds reigning mon
archs, and the object of an even more
enthusiastic hero-worship throughout the
Fatherland than that formerly accorded
to his redoubtable ancestor, Frederic the
Great. Upright, ruddy-cheeked, vigorous,
and sprightly, this imperial patriarch
has outlived ali the friends of his youth
and seen pass away generation after gen.
Grafton of the men whose first commits
sions in the Prussian Army were
signed by his father when he
had already risen by long and
faithful service to Generals rank,
and who, having attained the
topmost height of their professional am
bitions, have died off, one after another,
full of years and honors, while he has
remained, apparently untouched by the
scythe of old Time. Those whose priv
ilege it is to see and speak with him
daily are never weary Of expatiating
upon his clearness of mind, cheerfulness
of spirits, and extraordinary capacity for
enduring physical fatigue without visible
inconvenience. He rises early every
morning, is indefatigable in the transac-
tion of State and military business, eats
with undiminished appetite, and inspects
his favorite regiments periodically on
horseback or on foot, sitting fmly in his
saddle for hours at a stretch, or striding
briskly along the front of far-reaching
line of troops paraded in the Schloss-
Platz of Potsdam.

ANY one can unite n hammock
Ali you've got to do is to unite about
500 knots, unravel about 800 snarls
and work over tho thing until you
can tell whether the open side was

but he finally got it right aud fastened
the ends to two convenient trees.
Then he took off his hat and coat
and rolled in with great sigh OF re.

walked away from him, and he rolled
over on the grass and came TO stop

to do it on a salary OF $40 per week.
