The Mound Builders.

Throughout large portion of the
Mississippi valley the remains OF for
mer race OF inhabitants are found. of
whose origin and history we have no
record, and who are only known TO us
by the relics that are found in the tum-
uli which they have left. The mound
| builders were numerous people, en-
tirely distinct from the North American
Indians, and they lived so long before
the latter that they are not known to
them even by tradition. They were
industrious and domestic in their habits.
and the finding of large sea shells,
which must have been brought from the
Gulf of Mexico, ii not from more distant
shores, proves that they had commune
cation and trade with other tribes. Per-
haps the most interesting fact connected
with this ancient people is that they had
written language. This is proved by
some inscribed tablets that have been
discovered in the mounds, the most i'm
portant of which belong TO the Daven-
port academy OF sciences. These tab
lets have attracted great attention from
psychologists, and it Is thought they
will sometime prove of great value as
records OF the people who wrote them.
IL is still uncertain whether the language
was generally understood by the mound
builders, or whether it was confined TO
few persons OF high rank. In the
mound where two of these tablets were
discovered the bones of child were
found, partially preserved by contact
with large number of copper beads,
and as copper was n rare and precious
metal with them, it would seem that the
mound in question was used for burial
of persons of high rank The inscrip
tons have.not been deciphered, for no
key to them has yet been found; we are
totally ignorant of the derivation of the
language of its ailinties with other
written languages The mound build
ers lived while the mammoth and the
mastodon were upon the earth, as is
clearly proved by the carvings upon
some of their elaborate stone pipes.
From the size and other peculiarities of
the pipes, it is inferred that smoking
was not habitual with them, but that
it was reserved rs u sort of ceremonial
observance. Our knowledge of the
habits and customs of the mound-build-
ers is very incomplete, but it is suffic-
lent to show that at least part of this
country was once inhabited by a peo-
pie who have passed away without leav-
ing so much as a tradition of their exist
ence, and who are only known to us
through the silent relics which have been
inferred for centuries A people utter
ly forgotten, civilization totally lost
was it though great catastrophe in the
history of the world, or was the ceaseless
struggle for existence so severe that
they finally succumbed and passed
away.

Something About Soldering.

hulcIlCHH hPIlcultuflSt.
Milk pans, pals, and many other tin
household utensils, will get leaky and
need repairing. Bits of rags and splin-
tiers OF wood, etc, give temporary
amendment in certain cases; but the
permanent method is to use solder. A
soldering exit consists of soldering
iron of copper, weighing about twelve
ounces; flat ten-inch file, rather
coarse, scraper, and three-square
ille, ground to three scraping edges for
an inch from the point. A bottle of
soldering fluid will also be required.
and little rosin and some sal-ammoni-
&c. Last and not least, few sticks of
solder Directions for soldering: The
iron must first be timed, that is.
covered with thin coat of solder. To
DO this, heat the iron somewhat above
the melting point of solder. File one
side OF the beveled portion smooth.
and touch it Immediately with rosin
and soldering fluid, and then with
solder and wipe smooth with a rag.
File and "tin" the remaining portion.
When done, the surface should be COM
pletely covered with solder. Another
way is to heat the iron nearly to red
ness, and rub it upon the sal-ammoniac
with solder in contact, when no filing
will be necessary. This timing must
be repeated whenever the thin coating
of solder is removed by overheating OF
the iron, which is quite likely to occur.
Now to the work. Whenever il is de-
sired TO attach solder, the parts must be
clean. Ii the surface is not already
bright and clean IL must be made so bv
all means. Here the scraper will gem
orally be of use Having scrapcd the
surface, apply with stick some Of the
soldering fluid, or, instead of the sold
ering fluid, some rosin, to the parts
TO be soldered. Meanwhile the iron
has been heating in the cook-stove, not
too hot, for then the solder is too fluid
and you can not pick up portion with
the point of the iron. Take the iron
from the fire, with rag, or dip momen-
tarily into weak solution of sal.am-
moniac. Touch the iron to the solder;
II the heat is right small portion adj
heres, and Is placed upon the spot
where II will do the most good. The
tendency TO use too much solder should
be guarded against. II the iron Is not
hot enough, warm II some more. The
iron must remain In contact where the
solder is to stick until the surrounding
parts are at the temperature Of melted
solder With the above utensils and
directions almost any person can
mend milk pan or ordinary uten-
III, though there would be much OF
still to learn. Old tomato
cans would be good to practice on until

The Mt. Vernon News, in its last
issue, is certainly in error when ii says
that "the colored brother is making the
most of his opportunities in Cairo. There
are now three colored candidates FOR mayor.
The third and the last announced is Henry
Newton, Baptist preacher, who stumped
that section of the state in the interest of
the republican party during the late presi.
dental campaign There is as yet no
colored candidate for mayor of Cairo.
There are two colored candidates for city
clerk, and it seems now that this is all
the representation the colored people of
Cairo will have in the coming city election
Mr., Newton Henry, did express desire to
announce himself as a candidate for mayor,
but he seems to have abandoned the idea.

Carter Harrison, lately reelected Mayor of Chicago, surprised some of those who voted for him and some who voted against him by having a number of disreputable resorts closed. At a temperance meeting in Ply mouth church 8 committee was appointed to thank him for what he had done and to sug- gest other things for him to do. The inter view between him and the committee was interesting one. The committee had hardly been introduced when the Mayor said: 'I would not have been elected if you fellows had had your way. You did all you could to defeat me. You are always kicking against something you don't know anything about. I am in favor of few all-night saloons, but you gentlemen are not liberal-minded enough to see my motives. You fellows are too straight-laced" " The committee said that over 1000 young girls had been counted in one night coming out of low concert halls.
 "Pshaw!" the Mayor replied ''the same night at Mcvicker's you might have seen Camille gilded, alluring, throwing charm and glamour about sensuality and vice, and an audience of so called intelligent and re- spectacle people applauding it. Why don't your association attend to this ?" The com mittee talked total abstinence to His Honor, only to elicit his sentiment on the subject as follows: q can drink like man and a Christian and keep sober. If you gentlemen were to drink you would perhaps become drunk and make brutes of yourselves You would be the incorporate ones. The respon- abilities of my office are such that I some times find it necessary to take a drink. It is a debatable question whether I should be deprived of my privilege because you gentlemen or others cannot drink without making brutes of your selves" It will probably be some time be- fore another such committee will call upon Mayor Harrison.
