a GENUINE CURIOSITY.
PetriAod sbatk's Teeth Found In Holly
wood Cemetery.


SO much complaint has been made
against The unwholesOme stencil that
arises FROM the branch which runs
through Hollywood, due to the sewer
leading thereto being cmpted into the
branch at that point, that the CITY Coun-
ell, some time ago, decided TO continue
the sewer underground through the
cemetery to the river. In digging this
sewer extension il was found necessary
to 90 about twenty feet below the surface
so as to get the proper fall. The work
men engaged In the excavation have
found q large number OF petriiied teeth
resembling sharks teeth evidently the
fossil remains o. animals which inhab-
tied that locality probably centuries a'O
+ hcse teeth are identical in form and
appearance with the well-knOwn phOs
pilates found in the rivers at Charleston,
: C., Just after the war, and which saved
that CITY and State from bankruptcy by
leading 10 the establishment Of the Nam
moth phosphate factories which, for
many years past, have been in operation
at that point. The only difference l. that
while those found in South Carolina are Of
mammoth proportions. often times being
larger than mans hand, these are OF the
size OF the teeth OF the modern shark.
This find must lead 10 interesting
scientific speculation. II not only in
dicates that at one time what is now the
site Of Hollywood Cemetery, was the bed
of the river but that the volume Of wafer
was sufficiently full 10 afford harbor for
monsters Of the deep.

THE DAY AFTER.
How the CAPITOL Looked Yesterday

How the Capitol Looked Yesterday.
The hall of the House Of Delegates and
the Chamber Of the Senate yesterday
literally presented the appearance OF
banquet halls deserted In the House,
the dulcet tones of the members crying
out, Mr. Speaker. | want 10 say right
here" and 81 rise TO point OF order"
etc, were supplanted by the orders Of the
convict guard directing the cleaning and
sweeping out Of the rooms, while striped
dressed vi0laiOrs of the laws enacted In
that very locality caused clouds OF dust to
take the place Of gas, while sweeping up
the fragments Of the solid chunks of wis
dom which had either been noted down
by the sOlOns OF the COmmC .Iwealth on
paper As refreshers of memory in con.
templated great efforts, or had been crys-
tailed into the shape Of printed bills
which died a abOrnin.
In the Senate Chamber a similar scene
was presented minus the cOnvicts Scna-
tor lleatOR and K0iner were sitting al
their desks with all the dignity
which characterized them In the bust
est day Of the session. Every now
and then stray Senator, looking
as u he felt like one who iTeads
alone, would pop in and pop out, while
the t0lt ensemble las we say at St Cloud
was the same as the "long drawn aisles
and fretted vaults" of the cathedral In
which the service had ended, and priests
and choristers had deserted.
But you may break you may ruin the
vase if YOU will hut the scent of the roses
will hang rouud IL gtili ~ few sticke
ballots on the floor announced that The
Senate had recognized their legality, while
resolutions favoriag the Blair bill and
the repeal of the internal revenue tax
on tobacco and fruit brandies were as
thick As leaves in Nallambrosa.
And so yesterday appeared the old
Capitol OF this ancient Commonwealth.
1t was in brief sad "cdle role terim
eaie' until We meet in extra session next
winter.
