.. Mind as "a Social Factor" by Prof
Lester +. Ward. Prof Thomas sustained his
proposition by reference to tho following
authorities: Prof Lucien Carr i'll 1876 opened
a mound in Lee county, Virginia, the con-
tents of which seemed to be of Cherokee
origin. In eastern Tennessee and western
North Carolina Prof Thomas has found re-
Gently, in surveys prosecuted by the bureau
of ethnology, mounds which sustain Prof.
Cars views. History atiirms that the CherO-
KEGS once lived much farther north than the
region where they were removed TO Indian
territory. Tho mounds opened by Prof
Thomas contain iron and rolled copper,
which indicate their quite recent origin.
The early writers on the Chcrokees
mention pipes and other objects of
culture whose countcrpartS are found In the
very bottom of the mounds Of North Carolina
and Tennessee. Prof Thomas is an enthusias-
tic speaker, and his papers arc always listened
TO with great attention. Major Powell sub
stantiated the speakers theory by the reCta-
ton of an old tradition of great meeting OF
the tribes, ut which the home of the Chero-
KEGS was fixed at the headwatcrs Of all the
rivers inhabited by the other tribes.
MIR. Holmes, the artist of the bureau OF
ethnology. followed Prof. Thomas with the
explanation OF certain figures in copper and
shell found in graves and mounds
The discussion ofthcsc two papers occupied

more and he was struck by the loo
motive his body hurled high in the air
coming down like q great, solid mass Of
clav. Woodslayer and his companion
ran to the injured man and stopped TO
pick him up, but he said;
LET me die; I have lived long
enough"
Then he relapsed into unconscious
ness and has not been able to speak
since. 1t was found that his back was
broken and that he was almost totally
blind, and thatth man drowned in the
creek had lost one leg. The only home
these two paupers knew was the Allie
gheny County Home. The blind mans
name was John Donley and the one
legged man John Gartley it was their
custom to remain at the Home until
their appetite for whisky grew stronger
than their appreciation of the comforts
furnished by the Poor Authorities;
then they would start out on the tramp,
the cripple leading the blind man. 1t
is supposed that yesterday they had
met with extra good luck on their beg
ging expedition, and while flushed with
liquor had gotten into quarrel over
the spoils and that Donley had thrown
his companion into the creek. Both
men were about thirty-fve or thirty-six
years of age.

and Ten Wen Perish,

CHICAGO, October S.-Ten men employed
in the construction Of tho new water
tunnel for the village of Hyde Park, south
Of this city, were drowned i'm plain view of
the village at 6 o'clock this morning, Thir-
teen men were employed upon the work,
sinking the tunnel and constructing new
crib at point i'm Lake Michigan one mile
from the shore. Above the crib had been
constructed a platform about forty feet
square, supported by poles bound
together by heavy chains. Upon the plat-
form had been built small cabin, i'm which
the men slept and had their meals, having
lived there for tue past three weeks, The
platform was supported by heavy timbers
resting on piles. About five o'clock the
sea became so heavy that portions of the
platform washed away. The men awOks
about $3.50, and found the spray
with every wave washing the side of
their hut. They were not much alarmed
and proceeded to get breakfast, which
they succeeded i'm doing, The storm cOn-
tiuued TO increase i'm fury, and finally
great wave struck the cabin and carried it
fairly into the boiling sea, and with it every
man upon the frall structure. Twelve of
the men succeeded i'm climbing upon the
huge striugers, and lying face down, with
their arms around the beams, they awaited
the arrival of assistance. Every moment in-
creased their danger, ana waves with terri
ble force tore them one by one from Uneirau-
Chorage, until only eight remained. In the
meantime q crew of the Chicago Life-sav~
ing Station had been advised of their situ-
alton, and were dispatched to- their rescue,
They arrived at the scene about il O'Clock,
and when they were within throwing dis

drowning men to the timbers, and made
tight from the boat. Then eight of the
surviving attempted the feat of
working through the surf to the boat,
but only four succeeded in making
the journey One of the men was washed
off, and succeeded with the aid of a plank
in reaching the shore. Among the drowned
are William II. Shehan and X. COrbiu, con-
tractors of the work. The names Of the
others drowned are Lewis Ainsworth,

gushed from the headless trunk. 1t was
the body Of a portly woman, weighing
about one hundred and sixty pounds,
and about forty years old. A deep cash
was cut below the shoulder blade as II
with an ak, a wound ON the forehead as IL
done with a blunt instrument. The body
was taken to Troy, where it was viewed
by a large number of people, but not ident-

A WHISKY Tragedy.

The Allegheny (Pa) Mail of recent
date recites the following story, which
is a startling illustration of fearful
crime brought about thorough indul-
gence in'wh sky:
One Of the most peculiar, dreadful
and horrifying tragedies known to the
annals of crime was enacted yesterday
at Leesdale, two miles west of Mans
field, on the Charters branch of the
Panhandle Railroad The railroad
winds along the CHARTERS Creek, often
times crossing is. Last evening, about
six o clock, a man named WOOlsIaver
observed two men struggling on the
bank above the creek For several
minutes they struggled, when suddenly
one OF them staggered, tOppled, and
was hurled by his assaiIant headlOng
into the creek. A scream of agony
went up from his lips at the same time
and WOOlslayer with a companion ran
to the spot. BY the time they reached
the scene the murderer had seated him
self on the railroad track and his vic
tim was fighting for his life in the
creek
"Let him die, p" said the one on the
railroad; che tried to kin me, but curse
him, / have killed him.
WO0lslayer and his friend tried to
save the man i'm the creek, but ere they
could reach him he was swept away by
the water and was drowned. While
thev were eNerting every nerve to save
him a passenger train came laundering
along; the murderer heard the roar of

Advance in Paper.

PHILADELPHIA, October 1O.-At a secret
conference of paper manufacturers, held
in this city day or two ago, reports were
made Of a short supply of rags all over
the country, owing to the Government EN-.
barge on imported rags from the East, and
twas determined to call a meeting to be held
in Cleveland. 1t was thought a deter
mined effort would be made to force the
price up an average Of two cents a pound.
The supply of fags in port and on the
water will only keep the mills going until
December 1. The large paper dealers in
Chicago and other cities, East and West,
are serving their customers with notices to
the effect that they are compelled to witns
draw former quotations and give prices on
amounts, or from day to dav. The writing
paper manufacturers agreed, at a meeting
held in Boston on the 9th, to advance
prices two cents per pound, and to main.
tain the advanced rates.

Drinking in Canada.

] searched the town, and found com
paratively few liquor stores and no ten
ement houses. The Canadians do most
of their drinking at home. From six
O. o'clock on Saturday night until Monday
morning you can not get a drink in any
public place i'm Toronto, and there is no
winSing at drug store clerks or shudling
through side doors The result of this
is that while many of the poorer fami-
lies store up good supply to last over
Sunday the greater number leave liquor
alone altogether, and give to their wives
the money which, under a different sys-
tenn, would probably be spent in mid.
night revelry. If the men do get drunk
their wives put them to bed. and this
saves work for the police and the magis-
Tates also. What occurred to me as
being interesting is that the papers
here publish the name of every man ar
rested for drunkenness. The list is as
tonishingly small, the boys who start
out to "paint the town red being few
and far between. / asked one of the
editors of the Globe: "DO you think il
fair to print the name Of a person who
happens to drink too muchP-the best
of men do that at times" "WeH," he
replied, lit is the custom here, and
while, perhaps, it does not have much
effect in diminishing intoXicqtion, still
it does some good. .'-IOrOn.o Cor.

Joseph Livesey, the father of teeto-
talism, died on Tuesday afternoon at
his residence, Bank Parade, Ireston, in
his ninety-fr5t year. On September /,
1882, MIR Livesey drew up his first to-
tai abstinence pledge, which was signed
by seven men of Preston, including
himself He afterwards established
Temperance societies in different parts
of the kingdom. He also took an active
part in the anti-Corn law agitations,
and established in 1874 the Preston
Guardian, which remained as a sub
stantial property il his family until
1859. He also conducted . spirited
campaign against the centralized con-
stitutiOn of the Poor Law Board. Mr..
Livesey filled most of the public offices
in his native town, and rendered many
special services in times of emergency,
and promoted many public improve
ments. Few faces were more familiar
than his in districts where sickness and
suffering prevailed. MIR. Livesey was
left a destitute orphan at the age of
seven years, and he commenced life, like
Livingston, at the handloom. - Pail
