4 City of the Dead.

Two miles from Mandan, on the bluffs
near the junction of the Heart and
Missouri rivers, is fn old cemetery of
fully one hundred acres in extent,
filled with bones of giant race. This
vast city of the dead lies just east Of
the Fort Lincoln road. We have just
spent. a half day in exploring this
charnel house of dead nation. The
ground has the appearance of having
been filled with trenches piled full of
dead bodies, both man and beast, and
covered with several feet of earth. In
many places mounds from eight to ten
feet high and some of them a hundred
feet or more in length have been
thrown up and are filled with bones,
broken pottery, vases of various bright
colored flints and agates. The pottery
is of dark material, beautifully deco
rated, delicate in finish, and as light rs
wood, showing the work of people
skilled in the arts and possessed of a
high state of civilization. Here is a
grand field for the student, who will
be richly repaid for his labors by eXca-
waiting and tunneling in these cata-
combs of the dead. This has evident
ly been grand battlefield, where
thousands of men and horses have
fallen. Nothing like a systematic or
intelligent exploration has been made,
as only little holes two or three feet in
depth have been dug in some of the
mounds, but many parts of the anatO-
my of man and beast, and beautiful
specimens of broken pottery and other
curiosities have been found in these
feeble efforts at excavation. Who are
they and from whence did they come,
dying and leaving only these crum-
bling bones and broken fragments Of
their works of art to mark the resting
place of dead nation? Five miles
above Mandan, on the opposite side Of
the Missouri, is another vast cemetery
as yet unexplored. We asked an aged
Indian what his people knew of these
ancient graveyards. He answered;
':Me know nothing about them. They
were here before the red man" ."-MG1l-
dan, Dakota, Pioneer.

Bird.Eating Frog.

The following curious narrative is
taken from the Cape Tins, (South
Africa A lady living in the George
district supplies the following particu
lars of the habits of this creature:
Il have much pleasure in furnishing
all the information we have regarding
the large frogs which have proved SO
destructive to our young chickens. A
water SLUT runs round our terrace,
and passes through the ground where
the poultry range, and in this tie frogs
harbor The first time our attention
was drawn to their bird eating propen-
sity was by the cries of a small bird in
a fuchsia near the stream. Thinking it
had been seized by snake, several
hastened to the spot, and saw beauti-
full red and green sugar bird in the
mouth of large greenish frog; only
the birds head was visible; and its
cries becoming fainter, the frog was
killed and the bird released. It's feath-
ers were all wet and Shiny, and for
some days we could distinguish it in
the garden by its ruffled plumage.
Since then the same species of frog
have on several occasions been killed
with young chickens half swallowed,
and once a duckling was rescued from
the same fate. Whether the noise is
natural to these frogs, or assumed to
decOy the chickens within their reach,
we know not; but they constantly
make a chuckling sound so exactly like
a hen calling her chickens for food
that we have seen whole broodS de-
ceived, and rushing toward the slut
where they supposed the hen to be.
The frogs are very wary, and it is diff
cult to find them except by the screams
of their victims. We have lost large
numbers of small chickens in an unac-
countable manner, and now feel sure
that these frogs must be answerable
for very many of them, as there are
no rats here, and the chickens are care
fully housed at night"

HOnOred for Their Deeds.

A peasant was one day driving
some geese to neighboring town
where he hoped to sell them. He had
a long stick in his hand, and to say
the truth, he did not treat his flock of
geese with much consideration. do
not blame him, however; he was anX-
ious to get to the market in time to
make profit, and not only geese but
men must expect to suffer if they him
der gain.
The geese, however, did not look on
the matter in this light, and happening
to meet traveller walking along the
road they poured forth their COM
plants against the peasant who was
driving them.
"Where can you find geese more un-
happy than we are? See how this
peasant is hurrying on this way and
that, and driving us just as though we
were only common geese. Ignorant
fellow as ne is, he never thinks how
he is bound to honor and respect us;
for we are the distinguished descend
ants of those very geese to whom Rome
once owed it's salvation, so that afestl-
val was established in their honor"
"But for what do you expect to be
distinguished yourselves" I" asked the
traveller.

"Of what good are you, then? Do

COUSIN ROLF.
Get out, you old scamp!'


1t was a brilliant July day. with
skies of cloudleSs blue, the air scented
with clover blossoms, and the brook
vending its melodious way under
green masses OF peppermint; and Mr..
Carey, who had walked long dis
tance, and had just fallen into a doze,
under the refreshing shadow of a
gnarled old apple-tree, started galvani-
cally up at this ungentle address.
"Maam," said he, II assure You am
not trespassing; /"
But his apologetic words were cut
short by the rattling of stout stick
on the stone wall, close to him; and in
another moment, belligerent-looking
Ted COW, came plunging through the
high grass, directly toward his haven
of refuge.
He started to run, but his foot
catching in the gnarled root of an
ancient tree, he fell headlong. The
cow executed hurdle leap over his
= PROSTATE form, and vanished in
clump of hazel bushes; and a resolute,
bright-eyed woman, of some forty odd
years, came to the rescue, with a flap
ping sunbonnet tied over her ears, and
the stick balanced across her shoulders.
Don't strike!" pleaded Mr.. Carey
"I'm getting off the premises as fast
as can. l assure you, didn't know
was trespassing"
Desire WeIland blushed very pretti-
ly, as she pushed back the sunbonnet,
and endeavored to adjust her luxuri-
ant red-brown hair. which had broken
loose from its pins.
"Oh, I'm SO sorry said she. 1T
wasn't you l meant at all, sir; it was
the COW who had got into the cabbage
patch. Did hit you with the stick?
But | never dreamed of any one but
BOssy being there. Oh, do let me run
home and get the camphor bottle?"
Slowly, Mr.. Carey raised himself to
sitting and then to standing posture;
slowly he felt his knees, elbows and
collar-bones.
j.. I'm not hurt" said he-"not to
signify, that is. 1t wasn't your stick,
ma'am; it was the roots of this old
tree. It's enough to startle any man,
don't you see? to hear himself called
an old scamp
But it wasn't you | meant, breath
lessly cried Desire; "it was the old
cow. Won't you let me run up to the
house and get capcine plaster? Oh,
do"
Desire was fair to look upon, in spite
of her forty summers, with big black
eyes, laughing cherry-red mouth and
cheeks just Drowned with the health
full hue of mountain breezes. Mr..
Carey felt himself gradually softening
as he looked at her.
NO." said he. II don't care for
capeine plaster. But I've walked
good way, and should like bowl of
coffee if it's handy"
ooh, pray come up to the house
then," said Desire. "1t's only step
across the orchard. Oh, that cow, that
cowl We must certainly have her
hampered after this!"
Perhaps" said Mr.. Carey, solemnly,
as he endeavored to straighten the
edges of his hat, ''you know family
by the name of Welland who live here
abouts. Two old maids, who manage
farm all by themselves. Very pecu-
Ear females, | am told"
Desire stood still and began to laugh,
while the deep crimson suffused her
cheeks.
"Why," cried she, cit us. It's me
