Galveston dispatch says: Fracisco

dragon OF Piedras Negras, Mexico, that he
was horse, thief was taken from
the Mexican prison eight hours after
his Incarceration, carried two miles
below Pisdras Negras with his hands tied
behind him. and brutally shot and buried
at the command OF Mondragon. The muir
dered man had taken out papers OF citizen
ship on Aug. Is, 1873, and prominent
men in Eagle Pass and Piedras Negras
bear testimony that Rasures was an hon
orable, upright man. The secret underly-
ing this outrage is that Rasures had won
the affections Of q woman OF whom Chief
Mondragon was enamored. Mondragon,
swearing vengeance, detailed two OF his
trusted ieutenants one night to murder
his rival. Rasures badly disabled his
assailants and escaped to Eagle Pass.
Mondragon, however, trumped up u
charge of horse theft against him, and had
him extradited and shot. The night that
Rasures was delivered to the Mexican au-
thorities Mondragon left for Saltillo, not,
however, before having delivered orders

saying he was an American citizen and
that Mondragon had him arrested to
crafty his vengeance. This letter was de-
livered to Lyan ten hours after its author
was shot.

Wisconsin, Mound Builders.

Rev. Stephen D. Peet, editor OF the Ameri-
can Antiquarian, spent two days recently
investigating the Indian monnde around
DelavaB Lake, Wis. He found some re-
markable and interesting effigies at Lake
Lawn, and furnishes the following report
to the Delayan Republican,:
There is no doubt that the lake was a
favorite resort with the Mound Builders
and the prehistoric races as well as with
the modern inhabitants. The love OF beau
ty and the delights OF natures lovlipess
were as strong with them as with rs. IL is
q singular fact that they chose the spot Tor
the erection OF their massive earthworks
which is now selected for the cottages Of the
campers, and the effigies are now seen in
close proximity to these modern struc-
lures.
The visitor may have noticed series Of
ridges at Lake Lawn, but it is not likely
that any OF them have realized the variety
OF symmetrical figures which lie hidden
back OF these rude shapes. The plotting OF
these has revealed the fact that they are
in the shape OF birds, turtles, and other
animals and that.many of them were orig
ipally very accurate Limitations. The
writer has discovered at least
ten efIigies in this one group.
There are, however, several effigies
which have been obliterated. The object
OF the group ia unknown, and yet the mum
Der OF the efiges is in itself quite remarka-
BILE. IL is seldom that 80 many eftigies are
found in the came space Of ground. There
are hero about thirty-seven large effigies,
all OF them confined to the space OF Ave
acres, and are so thick together that
they make the ground extremely
rough with their protuberances. The
size of the effigiss vary from fifty
to $50 feet in length and thirty TO fifty feet
in width, and the birds senerally preserve
their natural proportion. Although the
sftigies are so large that their shape may
slude the eye and MAKE it difficult for an
ordinary person to trace them out, yet the
plotting and drawing OF the figures will
rSa1ily show the design. Itshould be said,
however, that some Of them have been
nearly obliterated owing to the
treading of cattle for the last
forty years, and the stranger
must not expect too much. The presence
OF campers has had a tendency TO wear
them down. 1t is well that one who Is ac-
quainted with the subject and who knows
the shapes which the effigies had before
they were run down, is able to visit them
and make plot OF them, for in a few years
this viii be impossible for any one to do.
There are other mounds at Petersburg and
in Sennett's woods one mile south OF Dele
van.

Stage company, and two tourists, while
near Yellowstone lake in the National
Park, saw a most remarkable monster.
1t was an enormous reptile which they say,
while running through the grass, carried its
head ten or fifteen feet above the ground
and which they think must have been thir-
ty-fve feet or more in length. Their

but parties are on the lookout for it. The

The Carleston News and Courier con.
graduates the people OF South Caro-

habit for good. No duel has been
fought in the State since the one in
which Colonel Cash killed a most estim-
able citizen who was averse TO the
practice, but had not tfee moral cour-
age to decline a challenge. The tragic
affair had one good effect at least-it
brought duelling INTO disrepute, and
drove the legislature into the enact
ment OF a severe law against all who
engage in it, and there has not been a
hostile meeting under the code in South
Carolina since. The News and Courier
says the practice "has been eliminated

No sea serpent has been reported
this season, but among the interest

boat they saw what they supposed to
be a corpse floating on the water a few
yards from their boat. As they APP
preached. it assumed a sitting posi-.
ton, stared at them a moment and
disappeared. A few minutes later it
came to the surface again and again
looked at them, disappearing finally
afterward. The creature, as described,
corresponds precisely to the tradi-
tional mermaid, but it was "all in
