Contents of a North Carolina Mound.

Mr.. J. M. Spainhour has described, in
the Elisha Mitchell Scientific society,
some relics that were discovered in the
excavation Of mound in Caldwell
county, N. G. Within the mound was
found a skeleton lying upon its face, with
the head resting in a large sea shell,
the inner surface of which was carved
with hieroglyphics. Around the neck
were large beads made of sea shells.
The arms were extended and bent at the
elbows, SO as to bring the hands within
about a foot Of the head. Around each
wrist was bracelet, composed of cop
per and shell beads, alternating. The
copper beads appeared to have been ham
mered into thin sheets and rolled around
the string, part of which was preserved.
Near the right hand was an iron nipple
ment like a chisel or punch, not sharp
pointed, but smaller at the end away
from the handle. The left hand was
resting on the convex surface of sea
shell, the concave surface Of which con-
tanned about hundred small beads.
The shell was carved with hisroglyphics

Local antiquarians and biologists in
England are enchanted at present with
live toad found in the course of railway
excavations at Greenocb. The toad is
certainly from 90, 10 $4,000 years
old, as the stratum clay in which it was
found certainly dates from the glacial
period. It's mouth is sealed up; it
breathes slightly through the nostrils,

it does not seem to see Public Opinion.

dreds of years old, covering many
square miles of hills and vallies, the
hillsides being everywhere terraced and
built up with rough masonry to carry
the olive yards and vineyards which run
from top to bottom in flights of colossal
steps. The coloring is wonderfully vivid,
too, beginning with the deep blue of the
Mediterranean, bordered by yellow sand

sheer cliffs. Then the long line of little
French and Italian towns dotted in each
