Interesting Discovery.

A correspondent of the st. Paul
Pioneer Press describes visit To some
ancient mounds near Lac que Parle,
Mimi. The mounds were four in
number, situated near each other,
and in an exact row upon the crest OF
what appears to be gigantic mo-
rain. about a mile southeast OF the
confluence OF the Lac qui Parle and
Minnesota rivers. They extend
from the east to the west, and the
most western one is much the largest
and appears to be of great antiquity.
The western mound is sixteen feet
high above the level oft surround
ing soil, and about eighty feet ia di
ameter. The exploring party began
digging by sinking a shaft into the
centre of the mound, about SIX feet
in diameter, which was sunk to a
depth of about fourteen feet, aud
several smaller excavations Were
made. In all of tn Sc excavations,
about two or three leet below the
surface, we're found many bones,
most of them OF human beings.
These were without doubt the re-
mains of Indians which have been
buried in the mound from time to
time during the occupancy OF this
country by that race. These rem
nants were of course of very little
value to the arch@ologist After
having sunk the main shaft IN the
centre of the mound to about the
depth ofeight or nine feet, they came
to what first appeared to be stratum
of very white, fine clay, aad upon
removing the earth from it there
was discovered lying upon this clay
the frontal bone of the skull OF a
human being, and in a good state of
preservation. They then with great
difficulty cut through this supposed
stratum of clay and came into a
small cavity containing considerable
ct arcoal. some ashes and the re-
m ins of what appeared TO be a clay
lube made of the finest material,
and bearing upon one OF It's sides
well defined hieroglyphics. The
remnant of this tube Is about SIX
inches in length, and at some time
has had fine external polish. The
most wonderful and important part
of the discoveries was the apparent
clay Strata, which by digging was
found to be in fact nothing but a
huge clay urn or vessel, four or five
feet wide by about four feetin height
The lower half of the vessel was
saucer shaped, while the upper half
was conical, and altogether consti-
tuted but one vessel, causing the
contents, whatever they may have
been, to be Theoretically sealed.

Matilda HerOn's Daughter.

Matilda Heron's daughter figured as
child in many of the curious closing
scenes of that noted actress life. re.
member little Bijou as comically tragic
witness for her mother in court, and it
looked as though, if she stuck to the
stage, she would reproduce the parents

She is now, after schooling in Europe,
tho Helen Stoepel of Daly's Theater Com
pany, and a. performer totally differ
ent from the eccentric Miss Heron. She
is as weak as water and as sweet as s,l-
gar; without trace of beauty, but the
very sou of gentle refinement; with a
voice as low and musical as the mothers
was high and harsh; in all she does un-
like the conventional actress, and sug-
gestive of the restrained school, girl.
The first character which Miss Stoepel
played at Daly's was the young daughter
in "Odette," and her chief task was to
ask her youthful sweetheart to marry
her. She accomplished it with native
simplicity and charming ingenousness
that was highly admired by the audience.
Perhaps the fact that her father, Rob
ert Stoepel, sat in the orchestra leaders
chair helped her to appear different and
modest in her reversal Of the usual FASH
