Ancient roInDs In Switzerland.

. An interesting find Of ancient tombs
supposed 10 have formed part of a Burgun-
dian burying ground, was made short
time ago at Assens, village of the canton
Of Vaud. These tombs, which follow each
other in regular order, are followed out of
the rock on a hill at the entrance of the
village, about three feet below tie soil.
They are each two metres long and eighty
cen imetres' wide. At the head Of each
grave ID a flat stone, dressed, but bearing
no inscription. The bones are disposed in
the ordinary way. as If the bodies to which
they belonged had been laid down in a
horizontal position, and not vertically, as
in some tombs lately opened at Chamblan-
des, IN the same canton. Fragments of
tibia, femurs, and the clavicles were found,
but no skulls. One of the tombs contained
tho bones of an adult and an infant, pre-
suma6ly Of mother and her child. Among
the objects found are pieces of curionsly
wrought and chased metal and silver rivets,
the remains probably Of warriors glaivo
and sword-belt. In another Of the tombs
was bellmouthed vase Of the capacity Of
half ltre black as t. It's exterior, but in
| substance yellow. Whether the material,
| of which 1t Is composed be stone or burnt
eagth has not yet been determined. Inside
as well as outside there are traces of
lozenge shaped figures executed apparently
with some craving tool. The chief inter.
est of these tombs consists in the fact that
they are almost certainly coeval with the
arrival of the Burgunuians in the Jura
country in the fifth century whittier they
were called by the aboriginal inhabitants
to repeople the land almost depopulated
by an INVASION Of the Allemain. Being
for the most part shepherds and hunters,
they dwelt chiefly On the mountain slopes
and in elevated valleys. The plateau OF
Mouut Jorat appears to have been one oi
their most important settlements, and there
can be little doubt that the origen OF Asscns
as we'll as of Chescaux, where also Bur-
gundian tombs have been found, dates bacl
sone /, 400 years.

"And 1 Did"

In one of Michigan's interior towns live
a couple known as the "Siamese Twins. !"
They are always together. No one In the
village ever remembers seeing ono un-
accompanied by the other. They 60 to
church together, they split wood together,
they walk the streets together and they fight
together. Not long ago, after severe
battle, a gentleman SAID to the feminine
TWIN: ...t~ ~
'.Sarah Jane, why do you pumhel your
unprotected husband so2 Thi;.k how bad
you would feel Ii he would die."
"Oh," said Sarah Jane In a tone that
showed the matter was settled in her mind,
1--WE will die together. We made that ar
rangcmont when we were married. You
see John Henry was married before, and
seven days after his first wife died he came
to me and asked me to marry him, John
Henry said l, you ought to be ashamed
OF yourself. Only seven days widower.
You should at least nave respect enough
for your late wife to wait a reasonable time.
Come back ten days after the funeral and

Got u Corn Sf,

On one of the morning trains over the
Erie road, the other day, farmer-looking
man, walked the length of car, without
finding an empty seat, end he slowly re-
turned to one occupied by lone man, who
at once spread himself out as much as pos
sible, and suddenly became deeply inter-
ested ID his newspaper. The farmer halted
beside the seat, but the other made mo
movement. Even after full minute had
passed there was no sign that he meant to
share his quarters with the other.
Then the farmer gently touched his arm
and said: ,...
"If you can hang on long enough you'll
make fortune"
"What-what's that, sira" demanded
the other, as he locked up.
"Its big thing-hang on to it," wllis-
pered the farmer.
''What 10 It? What do you mean sir3"
81 tumble; but won't give 1t away"
chuckled the farmer.
"What do you mean, sir2' q
~ mean that you've got the biggest cor
ner on the hog market ever known IN this
country, and If yon don't mako million
dollars out of 1t Ill eat Goldfish for year.
Half of the seat was suddenly vacated,
but the farmer preferred to stand up and
brace against the stove.

VlCtori0's Career.

Tho Indian chief Victorlo, who was re-
Gently killed in Mexico, was an Apache
leader over seventy years old, short and
stout in build and of wonderful
skill and courage. Though his left
arm hung paralyzed by his side
and his age was so great, he bat1led
the unremilting pursuit Of United States
and Mexican troops, pillaged and murder
cd on both sides Of our southern border and
fought scores of fierce combats. Up to
1877 he was a good Indian; but at that
time the Interior Department resolved to
remove him from the Hot Springs rcserva-
tion, where he had lived with his people
for ten years and began to make progress
In the arts of peace. Victorio refused to
submit TO removal to the Don Carlos re-
servation but was forcibly transferred in
February 1877. He broke away after six
months residence in his place of exile, but
was captured and brought back. He made
his escape second time, and remained in
his place of refuge at the Hot Springs until
the Spring of 1870, when peremptory or
ders came for his transfer end he became
an outlaw. In the latter part of April,
1879, Victorio with about thirty followers,
crossed the Sierra Solidad and the river
Jorucdo del Muerto, stealing enough horses
at Alormocito before crossing the river, to
mount his band, and went on to tho Hot
Springs reservation. At Hot Springs, he
surprised six or eight men vino were guard
ing Company "E," Ninth Cavalry, cap
turcd forty-five horses, and killing the
whole guard rode away to Hillsboro and
Ttonil''., ,"u"n' AAv .,'," .i...~ "e..s:~'
Hatch, who had great influence over Vic
toro, was unfortunately ordered into the
Ute country. Only day or two before
Victories desperate attack, General Hatch
had received permission to move him back
to Ojo Caliente reservation. Word was
sent Immediately to Victorio, but either
tho orders were not promptly obeyed OF
they reached the now infuriated chief toe
late. Victorio, when near to Hillsboro,
had meanwhile attacked mining camp,
and eleven miners were killed, although
they bravely defended themselves. From
there Victorio went to McAllister's ranch,
which he burned, stealing more horses and
killing three men. Major Morrow, Of the
Ninth Cavalry was following him, but Vic
torio was making long circuit towards tho
Black range and Membres mountains, ant
the troops in pursuit Jared hardly. Ir
these raids about twenty teamyters anC
herdsmen were killed but Major Morrow
pushing down towards Messilla, drove hi
foe towards Mexico. In Mexico, Victorii
made himself the terror Of the frontier, ant
crossing tho border after numerous depre
datlons, he was once more encountered b,
Morrow and driven back only to ronew hi
bold incursons. The record Of the pursuit
the wonderful marches of the Indians an,
our cavalrymen, and tho desperate encoun
tcrs that took place from time to time
reads like a romance 1t is estimated tina
this old chief, cxasperated to war by in
justice, has within the course of cightce
months killed 200 American citizens, 20
Mcxicans and 100 soldiers, beside stealth
over 1000 horses and committing no en-
of minor depredations. ,.

THE vote taken at the meeting of

ported in another column by our
Maryville correspondent, is pretty
fair represen tation Of the sentiment
of East Tennessee Republicans on
the Presidential question, except,
Mr.. Blaine is much stronger In
some localities than he appears to
be in Blount. He isuthe first choice
Of many,. and, three out Of. four
Grant men with whom We have con-
versed are for Blaine as a second
choice. A very large proportion of
East Tennessee Republicans are un-
doubtedly for Grant.
AS to the Vice Presidency, Hon.
Horace Maynard is the choice OF

left to Tennessee Republicans they
would settle it at once by his nomi-

The most valuable connection
which the city Of Knoxville can
have, is one directly south into
Georgia and South Carolihs. The
old Blue Ridge Railroad was
planned for this purpose and the
Knoxville and Charlestol was char.
tered to connect with it. Then the
idea was simply line to Charles
ton, but those spoilers Of maps, the
rapid railroad builders, have in
the last ten years added
a new value to this proposed road
A railroad built even on the old line
of the Blue Ridge would give to
Knoxville o connection with Char
lotte, n. c., and then to Whining
ton a connection to Columbia and
Charleston; also to Augusta, by
roads already built and in course of
construction, and to Atlanta by the
Air Line, thence to Macon and
other points. Thus, it would have
choice Of sea PORTSMOUTH, 60, to
either Charleston, Port Royal HOr
Savannah. Then, in passing
through Western North Caro-,

diately upon and contiguous to its
line numerous veins. of copper ore,
of chrome, and immense bodies of
magnetic and hematite iron ore,
while there are also silver veins
which only need means of trans
portation to prove sources Of profit.

for President, and give strong rea-
sons for his nomination. Mr..
Nudge said that in his daily inter-
course with the merchants Of the
city, he found Gen. Grants nomi,
nation and election to be very gen.
orally anticipated with entire salts

several eminent Republicans named
whom be could cheerfully support,
but, all things considered, he thought
the probability Of success with Grant
the greatest. Mr.. Frost said that on
general principles he is opposed to
third terms, but recent events in
Maine and other signs throughout
the country may render it cxpedi-
ent to nominate Gen. Grant, and if
majority of the party so decides
he, will cordially support him. Mr..
William 0. Taylor, of the house of
Taylor, Thomas & Co., said he
thought the Republicans would make
a great mistake if they failed to
nominate Grant, and Mr.. lilly
Haynes said that Grant is the
strongest man before the country.
Mr.. G. M. Clapp, a Democrat of the
moderate stripe, said he fayors the
nomination of Grant because the

BY ajadicious use Of his "bar'ls,"
as at st. Louis, it is not impossible
for the decrepit old railroad wrecker
to be again recognized as the Ma
tional standard bearer Of his party,
but the chances are against him..
He has lived long time, and an
utter disregard of the rights of
others has been the prominent fea-
ture Of his life. BY reason of his
great wealth, complaints heretofore
made against him have fallen upon
the leaders Of his party with
as little impression as the pouring
OF water upon a ducks back
But John Kelly hit him a terrible
blow. Cyrus w. Field gave him
hard knock. The New York Star
rattles his dry bones in a most un-1
merciful manner. The wear and.
tear is too great. He has gone
down under it,. His money may
bring him out, but the signs are all

should he now nominated, every one
will know that money has accom-
plished it. W. s'ai i, =
