Josephine and NapoieOn.

April
But If Napoleon betrayed his princi pies,
so, it must be admitted, did Josephine
betray her instincts? Napoleon was re-
solved upon the divorce. That she could
not help. Sac could have helped consent
ing 70 it. She had deprecated his as
sum ption of the estate of monarch, fore
seeing what it meant for Ter, but I find
no shred of testimony that she ever took
her stand upon eternal right and wrong.
| find 10 evidence that she ever presented
10 him, or herself discerned, the imper-
ioUsness of moral obligation, the inviola-
BILE sacredness of the marriage VOW, the
certain duty they owed TO civilization and
Christianity beyond any uncertain duty
Of founding dynamic dynasty. jose

all the 0nguished energy OF her heroism
into conforming her own will 10 the will
of her husband, rather than into conform
ing her husband will to the will of God
70 the everlasting law of righteousness,
Without vulgar contention, without active
participation, 10y simply refusing to sign
her name, by submitting to be a victim
but declining to become an acconpiice,
Josephine woald have preserved the full
dignity of her position. Napoleon would
have completed the divorce, would have
compelled the sacrifice of her happin ess;
but he could not have compromised her
self. Her position would have been
CO mmanding. As it was, she did not but
vie with him in mis- own line, and missed
the great opportunity for great deed-a
helpless but imperial protest against
wrong. She went further. She not only
gave IN her adhesion to his will,
was not even a virtue, since his will was
law,-but she ran ahead of his will, bought
or sought his continued friendship and
ompanioLship by taking part, hideous-
iy unbecOming, in his unholy alliance.
She entertained AMI expressed a pref
erence as to the wife he could choose, and
ever offered her services to secure the
Austrian connection; thus demonstrating
that, in the matter of this divorce, heI
morale was no higher than NapOleon's.

REMAINS OF MOUND-BUILDERs.
Remarkably Well Preserved Skeletons Found
Near Floyd, Iowa

Near Floyd, Iowa
A very interesting arch a illogical dis
eoyery has Just been made near FIoy d,
north of this place on the Cedar River.
For some time past II hiss been known
that several ancient mounds were scatter
ed along the banks of the river, but
though they had been excaTated nothing
had been found except near Charles City.
few days ago work YES begun excavat
ing the mounds at Floyd. The largest
was circular IN shape, thirty feet liz d.
ameter, and about two teeF high. 1t was
situated ia a field and had been plo@ed
over for years. After digging down
about four feet the bones of five persons
were in sitting posture and faced toW-
ard the north. Complete investig alton
showed that the original excavation bad
been tioored with layer OF gravel, upon
which the remains were placed. The
earth was then packed closely around
them, another layer of gravel placed
above them and the mound placed upon
this. OF the remains nearly all the bones
of the fingers and toes being intact. The
bones were evidently of three males and
and one babe. One of the men appears
TO have been over six feet high. The
skeleton of the women was, however, OF
greater interest from the fact that the
skull measurements showed that she
belonged to one of the lowest types of
the human family, and ex experienced arch
biologists claim that in some respects this
skull seems to he lower in the scale than
the celebrated "Ne8nderthai" specimen.
The distance from the lower portion of
the nasal bone to the upper margin of
the eye cavities is only four cent1metres
and the distance between the eye socket
is only two and threefourths centimetres.
The forehead is very low and the inner
portions of the eyebrow ridges are quite
prominent. One of the jaws oontalne d
several we'll preserved teeth. The teeth
of the babe were also preserved, but were
very small. It's skull was quite thick.
One of the male skeletons shows the teeth
very much worn, in come instances clear
down to the jaw bone. The earth had
been packed so closely around the skele-
tons that it was with considerable diff
Guilty that it could be penetrated. There
are several other mounds in that vicinity
which it is proposed to open, and it is
expected other remains of mOund-bUIld-
ers will be found. In the mounds near
Charles City, which were opened last fail,
remains of ancient pottery were found
with bones, but nothing of this sort was
found at Floyd.

DEATH Blythe CARS.
Freight Train Demolishes Coach Killing
Several Persons

Several Persons.
PHILADELPHIA, Nav "a coach con-
tanning several persons was demolished
by train on the Pennsylvania road at
Bridesburg crossing, and two OF its occu-
pants, f. K. Womrath and James DUNCAN
were killed. The accident occurred
shortly after l o'clock this morning. The
coach contained eleven men, members of
a masonic fraternity who were returning
from visit to DR.. Boyer, of Bridesburg,
wOrshipfui master of the lodge to which
they belonged. Howard Gibbs, one of
the injured did not belong to the party
but had been overtaken on the road and
allowed to ride with the driver. The
brief delay caused by taking on this extra
passenger undoubtedly had much to do
with the calamity which followed. The
night was hazy, which rendered objects
indistinct, and it is supposed the
freight train approached the crossing
unpreceived by those in the coach. The
engineer when he saw what had hap
pened stopped the train as soon as pos
sible. Stretched upon the cowoatcher,
bruised, bleeding and insensible, was
johnson, the colored driver. A square
below the crossing the horses were found
dead and gashed TO pieces lying close to
ge,her. The force of the blow must have
been terrible for the shoes were torn from
the front hooffs Of one of them, and the
other had a leg cut off close to the trunk.
Further up the track the wagon dash
ed into the timber wood, and was discov
cred in heap, and few feet away from
it were the bodies of Wombrath and
DUNCAN, Close to them lay their fellow
passengers, Smith and Wilgus, who were
quite senseless, bat the others, with the
exception of DR.. Hale and Myers, we're
grooming pitfully. Two of the injured,
Samuel Smith, wholesale liquor dealer,
and Frank Wrgus, druggist, are ex-
pected to die. The others injured, five
in all, are reported to be getting along

An Astonishing Thirst.

One of the stoutest men in New Eng
land some time ago was Squire Bali,
who weighed 800 pounds The squire
had one peculiarity, and that was a re-
markable thirst, of still larger proper
tion than his body. He could not pass
pump, well OF spring without stopping
and partaking copiously, Once when
out driving in his buggy, he met a
country friend opposite well where
teams were accustomed TO stop for water.
His friend, at his request, filed "A rather
dilapidated bucket, which stood at
hand, and passed it up TO him. The
seams of the bucket was a little leaky,
but the Squire was very thirsty, so he
took it eagerly and set to work drinking.
AS pint after pint of the liquid disap-
peared the friend stared Open-eyed, but
still the Squire drank on until, with a
hearty sigh of satisfaction, he handed il
back empty. The friend, who either
thought that a man who could drink
such an immense amount at one time
must have an unlimited capacity, or else
misinterpreted the sigh, said urgently:

didn't git more'n half ont into yer. -

The statistics furnished by the ex-
United States Commissioner of Educa-
ton, show very gratifying progress in ed
ucation. In the country as whole the
increase in school enrolment has been in
advance of the increase in population.
The increase is almost wholly from the
Southern States. OF the white school
population in the South, sixty-four per
cent. is enrolled and fifty-three per
cent. of the colored children are reported
as attending school. The ex-commissioncr
is opposed to compulsory education.
