Dispatch to Cincinnati Enquirer.
BELLEFoSTAISE, O., March 244.-''Truth is
stranger than fiction" Who can gainsay it !?
Of all the strange happenings of the busy
world, or of all the fantastic stories elnanat-
Ing from the brain of man, there is nothing
that cannot be matched by the accidental
discoveries of everyday life. The oldest
place of sepulture for the bones Of human
being probably ever conceived has just been
discovered near Spring Hills, in Champaign
County, near the line of this county. The
.acts are briefly rs follows:
a party of men. consisting of Henry Seller
and others, cut down a large ash tree It
made two saw-1ogs, each fourteen feet long:
Tie logs are now in the Walker mill-yard
here On top OF these, thirty. feet from the
ground, imbeddcd in the solid timber, and
looking, FROM the rings around it: as if it
had been there for ages, WAS found the thigh
bone of an adult human being, presumably
lnan's.
Let it be borne in mind that this bone was
IN solid log, though too, short for saw
no Rnot-holes or dead wood. How did it
get there? When discovered one Of the men
struck into it with the bit Of all AK. The AK
broke, and the piece is still firmly imbedded
III the bone OF course speculation is rife as
to this mysterious circumstance, and rumors
of murder committed many years ago,
where all the parts of the body were discoy-
kred but the head and one thigh-bont, are
afoat- Be that as it may, the facts are
vol1ched for on unimpeachable testimony,
and the bone speaks for itself.
This neighborhood has something of a
reputation for occurrences Of this kind, sever
al years ago live frog being liberated from
the heart OF Ia rge growing tree.

FINANCIAL.

Stocks we're well sustained all day. What few
intervals of weakness disclosed themselves
were speedily covered up. Prices were I'D
vanced in some cases, but brokers report very
light purchases by the public Tho cliques are
still the largest holders OF stocks. 1t was re-
ported that all the stocks we're being sold by
the bears that the market would take, and cs-
pecially that Kcene. who had received so wide
spread an advertisement on Friday in having
turned bull. was selling Lackawanna very heav-
lily. It WIS also rumored that he was
unloading the Delaware l. Hudson which
he bought on Friday The selling
OF Chesapeake s. Ohio Was reported. All
kinds Of unfavorahle statements about the
Granger roads arc In circulation. There arc
known to be extreme branches on the North
western road on which trains have not been over
since Nov. l. The St. Paul is declared not to
have earned its operating expenses and fixed
charges since Jan. l. Notwithstanding the de-
ntnl that the road borrowed money to pay its
dividend, it is believed to be in debt to President
Mitchell for necessary advances. The truth
about st. Paul and Northwestern may be safely
put down as follows: Both roads have suf-
fered severely from the interrupuon OF
traffic and tho increase or operating eK-
penses. Their stocks are, Of course, not
worth as much as they would have been If these
losses had not been incurred; but nothing that
mas as yet happened 1mpa1rs tho ABILITY OIL either
road to earn dividends on both common and
preferred stock. In other words. some worse
disaster than has yet come, such catastrophe
as u failure Of the spring wheat crops, must be-
fall these roads before their value will be seri-
ously changed. No such failure Of crops can be
predicted at this early day.
It was officially announced that Western Union
would be quoted till further notice dividend on,
not off,
Money was easy, and the fears Of an April
srringency have passed away.

It is deemed best to fund half the amount

FRIENDSHIPS Thermometer.

Fur The Chicago Tribune.
How Spring thnws friendships out!
Now, us 90 about,
Tn recognized ty men
Who since last Fall have been
Most utter strangers.
All through the Winter cold
They've deemed the rude and bold,
When on the p,lve we've met,
And hive tried to get
10 say, " Good morning!"
We drank together then,
When crowds OF honest men
With torch to music tramped,
Aud slim EXCUSES ynmped
For staying out 1ate.
The crisis then was on.
Our country almost gone,
And danger threatened all
From base to turrot tall
OF F'reed0ln's temple.
The patriot heart was warm,
Fur Uncle Sn1nuers farm
Was 1nortgaged wide and deep,
And traitors III our sleep
Longed to toreclose ont
That's what one party told.
Another said, '' You're sold;
II on that side you vote.
You'll feel about your throat
a despot's fingers"
So 'twixt tho two stood,
Who TT unscitfsh mood
Advised this way or that.
With argument so pat,
Through friendship purest.
Cold Winter chilled those friends
Who knew no selfish ends;
Their love was turned to ice;
Election iu trice
just froze 'em solid.
Their smiles to frowns were turned;
These CRISIS prophet; spurued
Ny weak or bold advnnce-
Repellcd the slfgntest chance
at recognition.
Or wns it Winters chill
That checked the arGent thrill,
The honest grasp Of hHnd.
That grip Of Freedom's band,
Before November?
The weather's warmer now,
The frozen back-bOnes thAw,
The hands have timber grown,
4 smile supplants the frown-
It's almost April
What a pity it's that snow
And Ice should cheek the flow
OF friendships current warm,
And work such direful harm
On loving naturesl
What say you to this plan
For binding man to MANI
Since Winters we must take,
Suppose each month we make
A fresh Elecuoni NEWMAN.
