A French chemist named Gros pro-
fesses to have made a discovery which
acquits both France and Germany Of
the charge brought by each against the
other OF having used poisoned bullets
during the late war. This horrid accu-
sation has been defended by the sur.
geons on both sides, who have persisted
in declaring hat poison was present in
many wounds which they treated, in
SUFFICIENT quantities to battle their skill.
NJ. Gros traces this poison, not to de-
liberate human continuance. but to the
breechloaders OF the period. The
kindling of the gunpowder, he says,
developed in the sides of the barrel a
small quantity of prussic acid, which
was imbibed by the ball during its
rapid transit, and this fearful poison
was consequently lodged in the wounds
of many a luckless Frenchman and
German. Hence the reason why it was
SO often found to be difficult, or even
impossible, to healeven slight wounds,
and the doctors on both sides were
justified in their declaration that
poison vas present. The fact that
similar poisonings of the wounded did
not occur formerly was due, says NJ.
Gros, to the paper used, which alb.
sorbed the small particles of poison
and regularly cleansed the g%uu-barrel.

Elk Governor Bagley, of Michigan,
who died not long ago, was a very sue
cessful man in business and eccentric
in his habits of life. In his will he
directed that his employes-those who
had made his fortune-should not
suffer by his death. They were to be
retained in the service of his heirs, for
o time at least, and on the day of the
testator's funeral they we're to receive
presents as follows: Fifty dollars to all
who had been in his service five years,
5000 to all who had served him ten ears,
and $500 to all who had served him
fifteen years.

The town of Dennisonvil]e, near the
south end of New Jersey, has a singu-
lar industry in the digging of cedar
trees out of a swamp where they have
lain for hundreds of years. The swamp
is ten miles square, and the trees are
piled to an unknown depth. The dig
ging has been going OF for ninety years,
and but :, fraction of the timber has
been taken out. The trees arc large,
and the wood, which is perfectly pre-
served and not even waterlogged, is
Used for making shingles, tubs and
pals. The diggers locate tho trunks,
at the depth OF a few feet, by prodding,
clear away the earth and roots and cut
them off OF top and bottom with a saw
like that used to cut ice, when the logs
rise in the water and are hauled out.
1t is supposed that the trees grew there
when the swamp was filled with fresh
water, and that, by some change Of
land, sea water suddenly came in
and that the trees were overthrow and
buried.

The Portland Advertiser says that
Professor F. W. Putnam, curator of the
Peabody museum at Cambridge, delivered at
the museum last week the first of a series Of
lectures giving an account of his explorations
during the last season. Although the Pea
body museum possesses the most important
collections illustrating American archaeology
That have been brought together, tine income
from the fund left by Mr.. George Peabody is
now scarcely adequate for the care of the
museum alone. This fact induced the
trustees to issue circular last wear. ask
ing aid in order that the explorations
successfully begun under the first curator.
DIR. Jeffries Wyman, and continued bv his
successor, Professor Putnam might be still
further prosecuted. Several thousands of
dollars were received in response to this
appeal, and Professor Putnam has
prosecuted his work during the past sum-
mer with great success. The curator feels
warranted in stating that during no
previous year have the explorations
of the ancient mounds and prehistoric
burial-places of the United States been
so productive of important results.
The lecture vas an account Of the ancient
sheil-heaps on the coast of Maine. These
shell-heaps. as is already known, are the
dwelling places of ancient races of men
They are made up chiefly of the refuse from
various shell fishes used for food. In these
heaps are found valuable relics of the people
Specimens were exhibited from the region of
Damariscotra river and northward on Mus
cOngus Sound. The shell-heaps here are of
great size; one at Damariscotta and New
castle covers several hundred acres from ID
to 20 feet thick, made up mostly of oyster
shells. There are no oysters in that region
now. and none of the inhabitants have ever
among them that their fathers had
obtained oysters long ago. Professor
Putnam also touched. upon his exploration
at keen's Point, shell heap never touched
before. This heap is very interesting. 1t is
made up mostly of clam shells, several hun
dred feet in extent and four or five feet thick
There are also in it quahog, scollop, whelk.
and cookie shells. Bones OF animals are
found, showing that the people lived upon
other meat than fish. Many Implements and
pieces of utensils occur. Remains of pottery
made of pounded shells and clay exhibit
marks Of some attempt at decoration. HUI
man skeletons are found frequently Five
individuals " ere taken from the Damariscotta

The Galley Slave was witnessed last even
ing at Granite Hall by considerable more
than an average audience with general sc-
ceptance. The play is one OF the best pro-
ductions of the author, BARLEY Campbell,
and was well rendered by the company last
evening. They held the attention OF the
audience from the beginning to the close OF
the entertainment. and the interest seemed
to increase as the play went on. The actors
played with spirit and were frequently in-
terrupted by outbursts of applause from the
audience. 1t is safe to say that this COM
pany displayed as much talent as has
been displayed by any company who have
played in this city for long time. Consid
cradle disturbance was created during the
evening by certain young men in the hall
who persisted in whstling and halloing.
This is disgrace to the community, and
measures should be adopted at once to pre-
vent its being repeated.
