Some Prehistoric Finds.

Warren K. Moorehead has been opening
some prehistoric mounds in OHIO. Near
Chillicothe he fund IN large mound
still thirteen feet high the skeleton of
very large Indian, having beside it the
bones of a panther of unusual size.
Though it is certaia that this interment
was cUm plimentary to the dead, there was
nothing to show whether the gentleman
had killed the tiger or the tiger had slain
the gentleman. Another mound over
looking the Scioto yielded fifteen skele-
tons, of which two are very large, ard
from the nature of the bones must have
belonged to very powerful men. These
were provided with copper and shell
necklaces, arrows, of which fine flint heads
remain, large war hatchets of stone with
very sharp edges, and pipes carved out of
sSentite. One had a pair of tablets or
breast ornaments carved out of stri ped
slate, but without jnscri ption. On the
hand of a child of ten were two copper
rings. Most of the skulls found are very
| thick, with rather low fOreheads. 1t is
very difficult to guess the age of these
Gem eteries, because while some are very
ancient the practice of burying in
mounds was kept up to within century
before the settlement of Ohio. The
Miamis used such customs, but were driv
en- out of the Scioto valley by the Shaw
nees, who buried their dead In graves.
"All Indian tribes except those found by
the whites in OHIO build mounds" re-
marks Mr.. Moorehea1 in a rather sweep
| Ing fashion to representative of Gin
cinnati paper. "We find in different val
| leys where different tribes lived variety
OF mounds. They are not all put up alike,
| a.
difference in the relics of diff rent local
| tiles as there is in the language of the
different tribes"
Railroad Traffic in and Around New York.
Records of the daily railroad traffic
show some very surprising figures. From
he depots in New York, Brooklyn and
Jersey City, 672 trains leave every TWEEN
| ty-four hours. Between $50 and $40
D. NJ, so trails leave and enter the sew
eral termin1; while between and 6 p. M,
| the number Is 150, most, of course, goiD q
out. The Long Island Railroad has SIT
trains per day curing the summer; at
the Erie Railroad depot in Jersey CRY,
22S trains arrive and leave; at the Grand
| Central Depot the only main line ter
minus in New York City, but used by
| several 'ines-the number is ZIG; and at
the Jersey City terminus of the PennsyI-
vania Railroad the rumber is 204. In
these trains there are 700 to 5000 cars
daily, and the number of people arriving
in and leaving the city by rail during the
year ending in Nay last is estimated al
over 40,OO0,OO0. The daily average num-
Der of pa seDgers is ITO 600. When the
| projected UnIon depot at Boston,
| Mass, which is to accommodate several
lines, is built, it is said that there will be
500 trains per day in and out.

Using through the country press of
adjacent counties. Does the Victoria
Advocate seer imagine that the build
ing of the San Antonio Clubhouse
and opera-house has not been good
paying investment so far as an adj
vertisement of the city is concerned Z?
If so he is very far from the truth
and is in need of information upon
which correctly to base an opinion
concerning this city. San Antonio
does not go begging for notices at the
hands of surrounding towns. She
totes fair. Her merchants have al
ways literally patronizsd the country
journals for a radius OF one hundred
and fifty miles. All who come here
are Hospitality treated. No city in the
state is more generous. AS to the
things of which the Advocate COM
plains, they are our boast and our
pride, and the only regret is that far
larger amount has not been expended
in railway extension, and in manufac-
turing, and in our fair association,
and in a hundred other ways, than
has been SO far disbursed.

AGENTS FOR THE LIGHT.
PURELY BUSINESS.

Under this caption, the Victoria Ad-
vocate of last Saturday has a leading
editorial upon the subject of San An
tonic. The Advocate seemed moved
to the very peculiar and characteris-
tic utterances of that article by some
remarks of the Times, of this city, to
the effect that it liked to see the
papers of thetsurrOunding towns speak
we'll of San Antonio. The Advocate
can see no reason why the papers of
surrounding towns should speak well
of San Antonio unless they were well
paid for so doing. At least that is
the plain unvarnished truth concern
ing it's utterances, though not quite
so broadly expressed. The Advocate
suggests as a means of securing a
good word for San Antonio from the
papers of surrounding towns, that the
San Antonio merchants give their adj
vertising to these papers to the tune
say of $4,000 per annum. and cease
all attempts to build up home indus
tries and extend commercial connec-
tions over new lines of railway. The
Advocate charges that instead of
thus advertising in the papers of
surrounding cities San Antonio is
'wasting money in impossible rail-
way schemes" and in "building cost
ly club houses" and in wildcat
speculations generally" The LIGHT
denies, on the part of the people of
this city, that any such charge is true.
What impracticable railway schemes
has this city thrown money away
upon? Her only subscriptions in this
direction have been those to the Aran-
sas Pass road to Corpus Christi and its
northwestern extensions. The Vic
toria critic may deem these railway
enterprises impractical BILE, but his
opinion will not be confirmed by those
who have knowledge Of our commerce
in the direction Of the Panhandle and
the large trade that will come to our
city as that road reaches to the north
west. Does he mean that the proposed
effort to connect this city with the
vast mineral deposits of the LlanO,
Edwards and Mason county region is
an impracticable scheme? If so, his
opinion runs counter to the opinion of
the best informed merchants, capital
lists and business men of this cOmmu-
nifty. San Antonio has not put
her money into anything yet
save railway extension and the
International fair. Does the Victoria
advisor of this city intimate that this
International fair and exposition was
a wildcat speculation? 1t paid the
merchants of San Antonio more hard
cash in return for every dollar spent
