THE AGE OF TIE MOUNDS.
[Norristown uerald.l

DIR. Cyrus Thomas, who is in charge
OF the division on mound exploration
OF the Bureau of Ethnology, has in tho
last three years obtained about 1000
specimens of the handiwork of the
mound builders, tho study of which,
with tho survey Of tho mouds them
selves and their surroundings, is grad.
uatly leading to n solution of certain
| arch;ooloGic riddles which Il few years
ago seemed insolvable.
While some Of the mounds are tloHht-
less very ancient, others similar in
character and equally interesting have
certainly been built up since the advent
OF Europeans. a string Of sleigh bells
much corroded but still capable of tink-
ling, was found among the flint and
bone implements in a mound in Ten
nessee, while in Mississippi, at tho
point where De Soto is supposed to
have tarricsi, Spanish coat OF arms in
silver, one blade of a pair of scissors
and other articles OF European manu.
facture were found in position which
indicated that they were buried by tho
original builders of the mounds.
In Il Georgia mound two copper plates
were found, upon which were stamped
figures resembling the sculptures upon
tho Central American ruins. The
workmanship is vastly superior to that
displayed on the articles of pottery,
stone aud bone founu in tho mounds,
aud their origin and purpose are not
yet cXpiainabie. Aside from these
plates nothing has been found to fndi-
cate connection between tho mound
builders and the Aztecs or the PuebIos,
while on the other hand, there appears
many reasons for not going beyond tho
Chcrokecs and their fellow rcd men
of the Ohio and Mississippi valley TO
find tho origin of these curious cree
tiOnS.
Tho purpose of the mounds still re-
mains in some cases II mystery, but in
others they arc known to have been
made sometimes for burial places, aud
as foundations for Indian

tho low lands were periodically suhjct-

carry the electric lights to the shaft
and 20 up to the surface themselves.
The charges arc fired by electricity
from the surface, and the explosions
are sometimes so powerful AS to twist
up the iron tracks laid in the bottom
OF the tunnel. After the explosion II
gang of men called muckcrs go down
and remove tho wreck. Tho men at
tho drills have nothing to do with this
work"
Contractor Farwell, sinewy clear,
headed young western man, took the
reporter down shaft No. 2l, where the
tunnel was bored two hundred feet
each way. Here everything was in
slick shape, and almost every ncchani-
cal contrivance known to miners WAS
in use

Old vs.. NEW COTTON.

Much of the new cotton at present
coming into the city is bought by the
NatcheZ and the Rosalic cotton mills,
but, strange as it may seem, we arc
told that both tho mills would prefer
to use old crop cotton in the manufac-
ture OF cloth, as it works easier and
makes prettier cloth. The old crop,
however, is getting scarce and is hard
to procure even ut . better price than
that commanded by the new cotton
1t is gratifying to us in this connection
to note also that both the mills are find
ing quite ready salc for thicr products
and arc not compelled to carry any
great quantities of their manufactures

StiH, women that have been tlatteretl
since they were born, walk round the
world on imaginary pedestals, with
wire-guard up. Mrs. Burnett's and
Miss Stuart Phelps women do 80, and
dreadfully stil;ed mortats they are,
too. One of Mrs. Phelps women gets
her mad up, and keeps herself ankle
deep in sand without turning her head

band won't come every step Of the way
up to her, and save her supreme pride.
I'd have let her freeze Now, let me
tell you the way the best mon think of
their women-wives, mothers and
daughters-is with great tenderness and
care, but precious little of the adoring
business, and they rate 'em for exactly
what they arc worth. n man who
processes to worship n woman is weak
in the head and knees or a knavc.
Coventry Patmore, George Mcdonald,
Holland, and that lot are all rather Off
their heads in talking about women,
and shouldn't want to trust my sister
with any man who took their strain
without their talent to excuse it. We
expect poets to be n tritle inflated in
their ideas. a modest, spirited, warm
hearted woman, With plenty of fun
and kindness about her and good
is the kind most manly men
like, and they expect to put up with
plenty of faults when they get her.

The following is the passage in the
speech OF Hon. VIM. l.. Marcy, In urg-
ing the confirmation of Martin Van
Buren, as minister to England, wherein
he used the Oft quoted expression, "to
the victors belong the spoils": al
know, sir, that it is the habit of some
gentlemen to speak with censurc OF
reproach of the politics of New York
Like other States, We have contests, aud
as Il necessary consequence, trumphs
and defeats. 1t may bc, sir, that the
politicians Of New York arc not so fas-
tidious as some gentlemen are as TO dis
closing the principles on which they
act. They boldly preach what they
practice. When they arc contcnding
for victory, they avow their intention
of enjoying tho fruits of it. If they
are defeated, they expect to retire from
Office; if they arc successful, they
claim, AS matter Of right, tho ahvan-
tagcs Of success. They see nothing
wrong in the rule that to the victor he
longs the spoilS of the enemy"

but none have been more curious than
the moving of II brick factory chimney

six and onc-haif feet at the base. BY
the aid Of six work men this clumsy
