Mound Builders unearthed.

Important discoveries have been
made near Floyd, la, Of remains Of
the ancient mound builders. A circu-
lar mound 80 feet in diameter and
about two feet high has been opened
and five skeletons found. They were
exceedingly well preserved, the earth
having been very closely packed
around them. Three Of them were
males, one female and the fifth a
babe. The skull Of the female is in n
good state of preservation, and those
who have made careful measurements
of it say that it shows the person. be-
longed to the very lowest type of hui
manity. These bones are said to be
the most perfect of any remains OF the
mound builders yet discovered.

The Real George Washington

The Real George washington.
The Real George Washington in
the Cosmopolitan is represented as an
Indian type of physique, weighing 210
pounds, with large, bony hands and
feet. wearing number eleven shoes,
and having weak lungs and voice, but
a wonderful strength of arm and limb.
A story is told of Washington making
famous jump for wife during his
youth.
He was riding, so the story goes,
along the Potomac above George
town, when he came 10 the house Of
a large estate, and seeing crowd up
on the lawn, he asked the cause Of
the gathering. He was told that q
jumping match was in progress, and
that the prize was the hand of the
farmers daughter. He looked on for
a time at the different jumps, and fin
ally asked if he might not also try
his skill. The host consented, and
Washington jumped farther than the
farthest. As he did so he noted that
the contenance Of the maiden fell and
that she looked rather wofully at the
face OF his leading competitor, who
had made the next best jump, and who
was evidently her lover. He resigned
his claim to the lady's hand in his
rivals favor, and it is said that this
lady afterwards recalled the circum-
stance when she met him at one Of his
presidential levees."

CHAPTER V.

Miss Cardine's arrival caused quite
q little futter of excitement among
the friends. She was so pretty and
charming, so utterly unlike any of the
demure young ladies who wore sad
eolored gowns and bonnets, eschewed
dancing and other frivolities, and were
interested in politics and the Blue
Ribbon movement, that she could not
fail to excite little interest and Curl
osity
The girls admired and envied, and
longed to be allowed to initiate her
pretty gowns and becoming hats; and
the male members of the Society were,
with scarcely an exception, charmed
with her pretty face and coquettish
ways.
Tessa-who was quite accustomed
to be admired accepted their devo-
lion with serene indifference which
amused Austen and irritated Mrs.
Calender inexpressibly.
t'Mark my words, Tessa-you will
go through and through the woods
and pick upa crooked stick after all!'
she said in her most severe manner
one morning, when Tessa had openly
yawned in the face of her most eligible
admirer, and had declared, almost be-
fore he was out OF hearing, that he
was getting too tiresome for anything,
and mgst-painful as it was to her
feelings-be snubbed and taught his
place, ''See if my words don't come
true!'i
Tessa laughed.
do you mean that l shall be an old
maid?" she said sauc;ly. well,
really, considering the bad opinion
which you entertain and so often ex-
press of the other sex, that consum-
nation should be case of rejoicing
rather than grievance to you'll"
$50 it might be, if you had a large
fortune and could afford to please
yourself" Mrs. Calender retorted;
..but l think you will find single
blessedness on sixty pounds a year
somewhat incompatible with your
tastes"
Tessa laughed again.
ssAh, we'll, / won't despair just yet!'
she said lightly.
1t was warm May morning-the
first day on which it had been warm
enough to sit comfortably out of doors
since Tessa's arrival at the Hall. She
had spread rug on the grass under
the laburnum tree, and was lying on
her back. with her face upturned to
the sky, tossing cowslip ball lazily
into the air. A soft wind made the
leaves of the trees rustic; every now
and then golden petal fluttered down
and fell upon Tessa's white dress;
there was a golden haze over the dis
tant hills; and even the Hall-which
was not a pretty house-looked pretty
that day, with the sunshine cleaning
upon the tender green of the young
ivy which wreathed the porch and up
on the plots of white narcissus and
gay-colored tulips and ranunculuses
outside on the lawn.
"By-the-bye," Tessa went ON after
short pause, "were you not very much
astonished to see Mr.. Cleveland at
meeting yesterday"
Mrs. Calender, who was seated at
little distance knitting busily at some
drab-colored stockings, gave her fav-
orite sniff.
al have long ceased to be surprised
at any eccentric proceeding on the
part Of that gentleman" she said
stifiy.
3 Tessa paused in the actfof tossing
her bali into the air, and looked up
graYely.
'.Do YET cali going TO meeting an

GUS response. Every one is now salts
fed of the stability OF the Knauf Organ
Company and the value of It's stock as
sound investment. Moreover 1t is the
best opportunity that the town could

prestige as very live and progressive

Mr. Knauff was down to-day for q
abort time looking at the ins plot of
land which will be donated to the COM
pany and exempted from taxation. As
stated before it includes six ncres OF
choice building land facing the b. u
o. railroad, bounded by College, Cleve-
land and New London avenues. A small
triangular plot of land on the railroad
belonging to Pusey Pemberton Is desired
by the organ company to preserve the
proportions of the new site, but as the
owner shows no disposition to negotiate
with the firm, it will probably have to
do without it.
MIR. Knautf was seen by the GA
zErrE correspondent and expressed him
self as surprised aud gratihed by the
treatment that his firm had received from
Newark, by the magnificent piece of
ground donated and by the prompt liber-
ality and public spirit OF its citizens.
With the town itself he is thoroughly
satisfied and il already looking out for
an eligible site on which to build hand
some residence. Two other members OF
the firm will probably follow his ex-
ample.
Mr.. Kusuff stated that he had placed
an architect ut work upon the plans OF
the new building which would be of
brick and stone and have frontage
towards the railroad of $50 feet with
wings on the end. 1t will be three
stores high and of decidedly orna'
mental character. The grounds are to be
graded to make a gentle elopipg terrace
towards the railroad and this will in time
be made very attractive to the eyes OF
passengers on the 3. & o. through the
planting Of flowers, 80. This will serve
as sort of advertisement for the com
pany. The books are now open for sub
scriptions to stock at the office Of 3. u
