MEXICAN MUMMIEs.-Sig. S. Marghiera, the
we!.known arch@ologist, discovered and explored
Theoretically sealed cave at an elevation of near
ly 1000 feet on the eastern side of the Sierra
Madre mountains in Mexico, about 200 miles
south Of Deming, between Coralitos and Casa
Grande, about two years ago. The floor Was near
~ smooth the sides rough and rugged and the vault
covered with stalactites. In the far end of the
cavern were found four desiccated human bodies
The bodies were in sitting posture, with the
hands crossed on the breast, and the knees APP
preaching the chin with tho head inclined for
ward. They We're carefully shrouded in their
burial garments and placed facing the rising sun.
The male and female were seated side by side
The elder child, boy, was at the right side of the
father, and the younger child, girl, at the left
of the mother. In addition to the funeral shrouds
the little girl was enveloped in the skin of an
animal, similar to the method used in the island
of Fuerte Ventura the better to preserve its ten
der frame. No embalming process WAS used in
the preservation of these bodies. They were
dried by the air alone. The bodies are not like
those Of the Indians of the present day, because
the fingers and hands and feet are smaller than
the average and tho womans hair is brown and
silken and of the Caucasian type. he body of
tie man must have weighed in life from $50 to
zoo pounds, but it now weighs only IA pounds,
while the body of the woman weighs only II
pounds. In the lobe of each of the small and
wel-proportoned ears is piece of hollow bamboo
or reed as an ornament. The woman had large
forehead and well.developed reasoning powers
The little boy weighs but three pounds and the
girls only four and a half pounds. The burial
shrouds on the bodies arc composed chiefly OF
cotton, hair, hide, grasses and the bark of will

the national republican platform says the
whole internal revenue tax, including the
tax on oleomargarine, must go, before the
tax on the necessaries of life shall be re
duced to the extent of a cent. But, for all
this, there are farmers SO ignorant of their

A STATEMENT that recently appeared in
the Washington correspondence of the GA
ZRrrE has occascned some enquiry at the
Interior Department in Washington, be,
cause it indicated that the secrets of that
department are not guarded as closely as
they might be. How could it be otherwise
with large majority OF the employees OF the
department republicans, and therefore, nat
urally, either careless about the preserva
tcn of it's secrets, or DESTROYS of revealing
them? Would man Of common sense at
the head OF g large mercantile or any other
sort of establishment entrust the business
secrets of that establishment to men whom
he knew were either careless about his own
success or Interested in the success OF his
rival? II Mr. Cleveland be defeated next
November, the cause of his defeat will not
be his course Us regards the tariff, silver
coinage, pensions or the Canadian treaty,
but simply and solely on account of the
muewumpery and civil service reform hum
