rEwKsnuRY ACCOUNTS.
A Question as TO Their COrrectness-send-
ing Away Paupcrs--Other Facts.

BosToN, May AIT tho Tewksbury hear
ing to-day Lorenzo Fairbanks resumed his
testimony upon the subject of the alterations
and erasures in the cash book Of tho inmates.
large number of instances were developed
and explained by witness, showing erasures
Of figures relating to money belonging to in
mates.
Mr.. Brown objected TO some Of the testi-
mony, claiming that the witness took pains
not to explain the real nature Of some Of the
erasures, but witness replied that his testi-
mony was made in accordance with facts and
not with regard to its bearing upon anybody.
$. @. Wrightington, agent of the state
board, testified that he had never received
any watches from Tewksbury belonging to
inmates and whom inmates had applied to
him for their money he had sent for IL and
always got IL. He did not know whether the
accounts were correct or not, but presumed
If inmates money and effects were taken
from them he would hear of IL through their
complaints, but he did not recall any such
complaint Witness said IL was not his busi-
ne1E TO know about tho transfer of paupers
and the memorandum of their effects. Wit
ness was further questioned as TO tho manner
OF sending away paupers and others and the
documents required for making up records.
He said several hundred had been sent to Ire
land, n very much less number to England,
very few to Germany, and mono TO Russia.
What had been done in these cases had been
done, in his Judgment, for their benefit and
the benefit Of the commonwealth. Adjourned.

PREHISTORIC REMAINS FOUND.
Indian Mounds Giving Up Ono Hundred
and Fifty skeletons.
Special Dispatch.


LENoIR N. G., May 4.-The surveys and
archaeological investigations being made in
this state under the national bureau of eth
nology are proving more and more valuable.
On the Gath Of last month they discovered two
prehistoric aboriginal mounds near Mount
Pisgah, in Alexander county. An unusually
rich and interesting collection of polished
stone axes, celts, and other Indian imple-
ments were found in them. The mounds
had evidently served as burial places, as
they contained the remains Of human
bodies. The collection of implements found
which constitute one of the richest and most
valuable "fnds" recently made-were sent
to Washington to be added to the collections
in the national museum. Since then the in
vestigations Of the party have gone on
steadily, and their labors were rewarded yes
terday by the discovery Of an immense mound
near this place, which is located in Caldwell
county. Fifty-six complete skeletons were
found in the mound, and vast quantity of
pottery. This find " of pottery is declared
to be the finest in variety and quantity ever
made. Many of the skeletons found in the
mound have very large and peculiarly shaped
heads. The discoverers are overwhelmed with
delight at their good fortune. Within the
past two weeks they have discovered $50
skeletons, all of which will be carefully pre-
served for scientific examination. The exca-
vations in the newly discovered mound are
still in progress.

CAFE MAY, April 7,-Probably the most
important improvement on the island this
season will be the addition to the new Column
bia, which is now we'll under way. Last year
Mr.. Mooney bought tho adjoining lot extend
ing back to Perry street, and this year he is
putting up an addition which will enlarge its
capacity to fully 500 guests. The new part
will have seventy-eight sleeping rooms, and
other improvements will be added to meet the
wants of the necessarily increased accommo-
dations. A new passenger aud baggage ele-
vator will do away with the tramping of the
porters up and down stairs, and electric bells
in each room will furnish the means of prompt
communication with the office. As the house
will probably be one Of the first TO open, and
the last 10 close, thorough steam heating
apparatus is to be introduced, so that in cold
and rainy days tho halls and entries can be
comfortably warmed. A suite of hot aud
cold saltwater baths is also TO be put in and
q ladies' writing-room added. The new house
will have $40 feet Of piazza, twenty-five feet
wide, and will be under the management Of
Col Charles Duffy, who has taken the lease
II will rank with the best houses on the coast.
Col. Duffy has been so long and flvorably
known'from his connection with tho Conti-
mental and as manager of the Stockton that
he will start with large clientele of patrons.

Compliments to American Organs.

Dr.: John Stainer, Organist o.! St.
Pauls Cathedral, London. than whom
there could not be higher authority in
regard to organs, organ music, etc. has
shown his appreciation OF Ameri an in
strumcnts by preparing an instruction
book especially Tor the Mason n Hamlin
organs. 1t has already been published
in London, but will be immediately re-
published in this country by Messrs.
Ditson 4 Co. Messrs. Mason Hamlin
have also received very recently two
noteworthy compliments for their
organs from ondon. One is in the
sale OF an organ to Her Ma, esty Queen
Victoria; the other is the announcement
that Il OF them will be used in Vest
minister Abbey on the 10th, 18th and
18th of this month, with full orchestra
and chorus, in the production OF
Gounod's "Redemption," under the
direction of the Organist of Wes,min-
ster, Dr.. Bridge. The same organs
were used last week in the production of
the same work BY the philharmonic
Society OF Brooklyn, N. Y, under tie
direction OF Theodore Thomas, and
will be similarly used next week in the
production of the same work by the
Cecilia Society OF Philadelphia, under
Mr.. Thomas direction. -Boston Journal.

The Next European War.

A late number of the Ruedschau con-
tains an article on "Strategy," which
considers the probable aspects of the
next war in Europe. The forces en-
gagged in such a war would, he says, be
far greater even than those which were
brought into the field in 1870. A single
army of five corps occupies eight Eng
fish miles on the battlefield. But the
entire force of a great European State
now consists of four OF five such armies;
and the disasters consequent on the
collision of two or more such States
would naturally be in proportion to
their strength-especially as, thanks to
the development Of the feeling of nation
atty, wars will in the future be fought
not from policy but from national hostil-
ity. Armies will assume the character of
great popular migrations, and will be
numbered not by hundreds of thou
sands, but by millions of armed men.
This will diminish their mobility. Ger
many will not again find an open coun-
try, with excellent roads; and, however
excellent her commanders may be, she
will not have the chance again of ad-
vancing into an enemy's country with
such rapidity and success. The charac-
teristics Of the wars OF the future will be
a slow advance, a constant bringing up
of reserves, and defeat caused only by
complete exhaustion; flank attacks will
be made by armies instead of, as in
1870, by brigades or divisions; and the
district used as a battlefield will be en-
tirely devastated. The feeling of nation
ality will also make it much more diff
cult to end a war than formerly. Austria
would not venture to take back LON
hardy and Venice, even if her victorious
armies should penetrate to Naples; and
Germany would not have been able in
1870 to annex Burgundy and Cham
payne, although they were at her
mercy.
