Lord DunmOre,s Sale.

This sale, came off at Dunmore on
Wednesday, August Goth. Many of
the best breeders of England were pres
ent, the attendance numbering consd-
erably over a thousand. After the
usual lunch, with its accompanying
speeches, Mr.. John Thornton opened
the sale as per the following from the
London Live Stock Record
"The sale was anything but animated,
except when a few of the best bred
animals entered the ring. The Ouch
esses of course raised a furOre. The
older one, grand, handsome young
COW, with quality, style, and constitu-
tiOn combined, was put up by Earl
Bective at 1000 gs, and quickly reached
500 more, when the biddings dragged,
until the sand-glass ran out at 2, ZOO gs.
Her daughter Duchess much resembles
her in shape and character, and is a
beauty. Her figure reached 5000 gs.
Mr.. AllsOpp purchased both, and cheers
arose from the ring on the sums rea-
lized being announced. The bull-calf
End Duke of Cornwall is quite as shape
ly, and meritorious as his dam and
sister. Sir Curtis LampsOn bought him
at 1850 gs.
The Wild Eye section made the next
highest prices, Lady Worcester End ex-
cepted, which at thirteen years old
realized 50 gs. BlythsOme Eyes, by
Both Duke of Hillhurst, of rich color
and flesh, and grand form, goes to
Prince of Wales, at 27O gs. Lady Wor-
chester 10th went to Lovatt, at 1l5 gs.
Lady Worcester 18th fetched $50 gs.,
and her calf sold at % gs. Lady WOr-
chester 18th was bought at 41O gs. by
Mr.. Allsopp. Lady Worcester goth,
also a charming specimen, was sold for
800 gs. to Mr.. Brassey; and Lady Wor-
chester 2lst, scarcely inferior to either
of the others, fetched $50 gs. from the
Prince of Wales.
The Red Roses (ROse of Sharens) sold
badly. Red Rose of Hillgray, pecul-
iarly thick, good healthy specimen,
fetched $50 gs., paid by Mr.. Barchard.
Many of the Roses were admired, al
though extraordinary figures were un-
Obtainable. Oxford Roses sold also at
moderate sums. The j. IS and ReVelries
made only low figures.

1t is well known that the wrought
stone implements found in the ancient
river gravels of California prove con-
clusively that during or before the
glacial period the Pacific coast was in
habited by man. In a report on recent
archaeological explorations in Kansas,
Judge e. P. West, of that State, pre-
sents large amount of evidence to
show that at an equally remote period
that region was peOpled by race COM
pared with which the mound builders
must be accounted modern.
The geology of the region is simple.
Prior to the drift epoch the river chan
nels were deeper than now, and the
river valleys were lower. Subsequent
ly thesvalleys were filled by lacus-
train deposit of considerable depth. In
or beneath this last deposit the remains
of an extinct race occur.
Such remains have been found at
various depths in seven different coun-
ties along or near the Kansas Pacific
Railroad, namely Douglass, Pottawa-
tOmie, Riley, Dickinson, Marion, Els
worth and Lincoln counties. With one
exception the remains have all been
found on the second bottom or terrace
Of streams, and consist of stone imple-
ments, pottery, human bones, and inn
plements. In most cases they were
struck in digging wells, at a depth of
from twenty to thirty feet below the
surface. In view of the fact that there
is not more than one we'll to the square
mile in the counties named, and the
area Of a we'll forms but very small
fraction of square mile, Judge West
thinks the evidence already obtained
not only sufficient to prove the former
existence of the buried race, but to
prove that they were very numerous.
We can hardly assume that chance has
directed the digging of wells only
where human remains are buried.
Whether the race existed before the
glacial epoch or Immediately afCer it is
too early to determine. Judge West is
inclined to fix their time of occupancy
as after the glacial epoch and prior to
the deposition of the LOess. In calling
upon the local newspapers of Kansas
to lay the facts before the people and
urging the propriety of saving such
remains when found, and noting care
fully the conditions under which they
occur, the Judge says:
"Here we have a buried race
enwrapped in profound and startling
mystery-a race whose appearance and
exit in the worlds drama precede stu
pendous''S%geological changes marking
our continent, and which perhaps re-
quired hundreds of thousands of years
in their accomplishment. The prize is
no less than determining when this
mysterious people lived, how they lived,
when they passed out Of existence, and |
why they became extinct. ct."-Scjentifc

REPUBLICANS!

To the Members of the Republican Central
Committee Of Fdyette County, Ohio;
You are hereby notified that there
will be a meeting of the Fayette County
Republican Central Committee in the
City Hall at Washington G. H., Ohio,
on Saturday, February 81, 1880, at two
O'Clock p. NJ, to determine, among
other things, the manner of nOminat-
ing candidates for local offices at the
next October election-whether by del
egate convention or primary election !;
and if by primary election, whether it
shall be held at the April election or at
a subsequent time.
Other not less important matters will
De submitted at the same meeting. This
will be one Of the most important COM
mittee meetings of the coming cam
paign, and it is hoped and expected
that every member of the committee
will be present to participate in its de-
-lDcIdJlOubs
Remember, we are now upon the
eve of political contest, greater in
magnitude and more important in its
far-reaehing results than any this coun-
try has ever witnessed. The last cam
paign in which you, as committee,
did 10 well in placing Fayette county
squarely in the Republican column,
was only the skirmish OF the grand
battle of 1880. Let the success Of your
committee in the past encourage you
for the work Of the future, and may
not, as your chairman, confidently ex-
pect a full attendance Of the commit
tee at this meeting?

wonderful Discoveries i'm a cave.

An exploring party has made wonder
ful discoveries in q cave in Adams
county, Ohio, supposed to be the work
of the mOund-builders. In Tiffin town
ship is a plateau OF 200 acres surround
ed by high hills. At a depression in
the plateau there Is well three feet in
diameter and twenty-five feet deep.
Persons have frequently descended in
to the we'll and explored the cavernous
chambers of mathematical regularity
to which it leads. On the walls of the
chambers may be seen, among other
writings, the inscription "VOn Brody,
1883, F." made by the Indian hunter, who
preceded the "OhlO Company" in 1856.
In the fourth chamber, reached through
narrow passage, had long ago been
found we'll, ten feet In diameter, and
of unknown depth. 1t was to learn the
secret of the well that two merchants,
lawyer and two newspaper writer's
provided themselves with arope-ladder,
implements for breaking stone and lam
terms. They descended fifty feet into
the well, where they found narrow
gallery fifty feet long, leading by
gradual descent to chamber go feet
long, 10 feet wide and "a feet high. In
the center of the chamber was found
large mausoleum, carved out of the
solid rock and covered with devices,
inscriptions and bas-reliefs. On stone
couch, in its center, lay the stone fig
ure of a man of giant proportions and
well carved. A carved winged cap or
helmet covered the head. Carved va
ses, decorated with flowers and leaves,
stood at the corners of the couch. A
copper lamp hung suspended aboye the
head of the figure. Twenty smaller
tombs were found against the walls of
the chamber, and twenty-five faces had
been painted on the wall near the en-
trance, A tomb was broken open, and
revealed n well preserved mummy
feet inch in length. The hair was of
fine texture, black and curly. A cop
per spear head, almost as hard as q file,
several copper utensils, a cup, two
plates and small urn were also found
In the tomb. Wrapped in vanished
cloth, at the head of the mummy, lay
a book Of 100 thin copper leaves, on
which characters had been engraved.

Am EvenIng WItb Rismarck.

A prominent officer who returned
from Europe recently tells of an even
ing he spent with Bismarck.
81 thought" said the officer. "that
had seen hard drinkers, but | found
during this evening with Bismarck that
the drinking men had met with were
tipplers in comparison to this great
man. Bismarck had invited no guest
tor that evening save myself" cOntin-
ued the officer. "After a few moments
spent in pleasant chat, Bismarck called
the servant and ordered him to bring
in brandy and glasses. The glasses
were of the smallest size, the same size
as the glass we call pony. saw there
was no water or sugar brought, and
when Bismarck poured two glasses full
of brandy l saw it was white, so | con-
Cluded that it was a milder drink than
the French cOgnac, and thOughtif he
could drink it clear | would not be out
done. | took sip of it and meyer in
my life did experience such sensa-
tiOn. 1t was the most fiery stuff |
ever tasted. ! gasped and strangled a
little, but seeing Bismarck toss his off
as so much water, l made as little fuss
as possible. By slow, careful sips |
managed to drink the glassful, but de-
clined to take any more. Well | stay
ed during the evening probably until
twelve or one O'Clock. Bismarck
continued tossing off the brandy, one
glass after another, and when | left
not a drop remained in the pint bottle,
which had been brought in full at the
beginning OF the evening. His capa>
city for drinking must be something
wonderful, for with the exception of
his face getting very red, no one would
have suspected that he had been drink
ing at all. His conversation was as
clear and his manner as quiet as at the
beginning Of the evening""

falling off from those of the previous
week, and both were the smallest for
several weeks past. Receipts have
been about the usual classes, with quite
number Of dairy COWS among them,
but the general quality was rather
low average, but small portion being
of the best shipping or butcher grades,
and even with the light receipts the
general market has been quiet all the
way through the past week. Prices of
all grades ranged about as follows:
Common, 81 64@2 25 per 100 pounds;
fair to medium, 50 4O@3 90; good to

HOGs.-Receipts and shipments for
the past week have been comparatively
light, and both show a large falling off

While the receipts have been COM

portion of good stock was rather small,
while there was considerable light and
trashy stuff that was hard to sell, even
at lowest prices. The general average
during the week was of just an ordina-

rather slow, and prices show decline
of 5@10c. from opening rates of one

Ancient MnnOnrK.

NEW York, Jan. ga cablegran
from Alexandria, Egypt, says with re-
spect to the Masonic discoveries under
the obeIisk, it is fact that on removing
the pedestal of the Obelisk there were
found, first, a Mason's square of red
syrnite granite, the long section being
eight feet six inches long, seventeen
inches broad, twenty-five inches thick,
and the short section measuring from
the outer angle four feet three inches
by twenty inches second, a pure white
stone representing an apron; third, un-
der the apron a perfect altar of red
granite; fourth, a red granite rough
altar; fifth, a Mason's spoon shaped
iron trowel Of ordinary size, totally
oxydized. In all five emblems, each in
its proper position. Surrounding the
foundations on all sides and forming a
part of it are three steps, all of stone
foundation, together with steps, bound
firmly together and very well preserved
in iron cassd in lead. Other stones in
the foundation bear curious marks and
carvings of hieroglyphics, which may
be Masonic, but none there are able to
decide. All the stones in the founda-
tiOn will be placed in New York exac-
tly as they were discovered.

Conkling may carry New York. and
Cameron may give Pennsylvania to
Grant, and Blaine may carry New Eng
land. and Sherman may carry the
South, while the contest lies within the
Republican party; but what of the con-
test that comes afterwards? What the
Republican party wants, is the man
who can carry the most votes in Novem-
ber. If the Republican Convention
looks upon the nomination for the
Presidency as thing to be bestowed
as a reward upon any man, it will wake
up, one morning in November, to a
realization of the fact that it has be-
slowed but an empty bauble upon him.
The contest will be a warm and close
one, and it will be found that we can
not afford to carry any man. A stand
ard bearer is wanted who will be a
source Of strength, who will draw to
him the independent vote of the coun-
try and retain the solid Republican
vote. There should be no pressing of
claims Of favorlte candidates, but an
earnest searching for the strongest
man. In this path alone, lies the road
to victory BelletORtdiRe Republican.

FROM THE STATE CAPITAL.
REPRESENTATIVES, HALL,
TAV FrnrmUHB n 1860

COLUMBUS, D., February III, lBbO.I
The bill for appropriations to supply
deficiencies came up for final passage
in the House the other day, and was
the occasion for the discharge OF a good
deal Of pent-up eloquence of a politi-
cal character pro and con between elo-
quent gentlemen on both sides of the
two great political parties. After the
waste of good deal of time the said
deficiency bill passed the House by a
strictly party vote, and will now 90 to
the Senate, where probably 1t will
have to encounter the same kind Of OPP
position before it can become a law.
The Committee on Finance are hard
at work on the general appropriation
bill, but at this writing 1t Is not known
when 1t will be reported to the House
for scrutiny In this branch Of State wis
dom. Whatever the report may be, It
is destined to meet opposition from the
Democratic side of the House, because
it will have Its origin In committee
composed Of majority Of Republicans.
IL is right, however, that all these ap-
preparation bills should be closely
watched and scrutinized before final
action Is taken upon them, both by Re
publican and Democratic members.
The bill in relation to keeping our
free turnplkes In repair, which passed
the House several days since, was, at
my request, amended In the Senate by
Mr.. Creamer so that, instead Of elect
Ing turnpike superintendent in each
township In the county, the provisions
Of a law already In existence, and ex-
tended to number Of counties In the
State, win also be extended to Fayette
county. This law provides that the
keeping In repair Of these roads shall
be cOnflded TO the township trustees In
each township where there are such
roads. They may lay the roads Off In
the townships In sections, and apply
the two days work and the tax assessed
in the township on the roads In the
same manner as at present, and the
work is all to be done under the super
vision Of the road supervisors in each
Of the said districts assigned to them
by the township trustees, and If this
will not keep the roads In good repair
the County Commissioners are author
lied to make a levy on the duplicate of
not exceeding two mills on the dollar
