MISCELLANEOUS.
Prehistoric Ruins in Kentucky.

Ot. LOUIS GtOOe-Denl0cfdt.
Quite curiosity, which has caused consider
able talk, has been discovered five miles from
Russellville, Ky. On high, cliffy, miniature
mountain, so thickly overgrown with cedars
as to render the passage of human beings al
most impossible, was accidentally discovered
what is supported to have once been a city.
Here and there for several hunered yards in
every direction were found the half-buried
ruins of what were once the homes of people
OF whom we know nothing. A stone quarry
close at hand showed evidence of having been
worked in the long ago, and from its capacious
bosom the material with which the houses
had been constructed was taken. The most
wonderful thing seen was the one building,
which has stood the storms of ages and is still
intact and good for centuries more. 1t is
square building about 30x40 feet, and is built
OF huge blocks of stone, which are fully ten
feet wide in the foundation, and grow smaller
higher up, until at the top, 35 feet from the
ground, the capstones will measure about feet
square. The unanimous opinion of all those
who have visited the ruins is that this must
have been built and used as fort by the inhabi-
tants of the town in the time of danger.
MOTHERS Remember that Castoria does not
contain Morphine, Opium, any other narcotic
s substance IN any quantity shape or form Its
effective and perfectly harmless. 1t is not
secret remedy; the formula is printed on the
wrapper. Your Physician will recommend it.
Paregoric, Bateman's Drops and many so-called
Soothing Syrups, are composed principally of
Opium or Morphine; in any quantity they stupe-
fly, and in large quantities are deadly poisons.
CastOria assimilates the food and regulates the
bowels cures diarrhBa, allays feverishness and
fretfuness soothes the pain in teething, relieves
constipation and kills worms. 1t brings refresh
ing and natural sleep to the child and gives rest
to the mother.
'Castoria is so well adapted to infants and chill
dren that recommend it as superior to any other
known remedy DIR. II. A. ARCHER,
Ill S. Oxford st. Brooklyn, n Y
March s, 1887.
From personal knowledge and observation
can say that CastOria is an excellent medicine for
children, acting as a laxative and relieving the
pent-up bowels and general system very much.
Many mothers have told me of its excellent effect
upon their children" DR.. G. G. OSGOOD,

DIDN'T LIKE RAILROADS.

Conf Ieuces Impaired to q New Yorker
Ey New Jerseyman.
It was on railroad train in the heart
of New Jersey, says the New York Sun.
A passing shower had left two rain
bows in the sky and a huge bank OF
clouds in the northwest that attracted
nearly everybody's attention. All else,
the trees, the rod Jersey earth, the
thistle-covered meadows, the farm
houses, had taken on a brightness that
was refreshing to the New Yorker, who
had seen nothing but stone pavements
and crowded streets for month.
One passenger failed to approve the
scenery and much more that was pleas
ant and convenient for city folks. He
was an elderly man, with an old-fash-
toned carpet bag that he kept his hand
on continually. He sat opposite the
peaceful New Yorker, but after time
he moved over TO sit beside him, and
brought the carpet bag along and held it
on his knees.
"Goin' fur?" he asked, with trace of
anxiety in his voice.
The New Yorker named his destina-
ton.
''Goin' there?" exclaimed the stran-
ger in establishment. "Why, so be 1,
and I stop at the station this side. 1
live there, ALWAYS did live there, always
will live there. Travel much on this
roadP"
ga good deal in the course of a year"
$50? Well, don't you think cleaning
over and speaking confidentially) this
is the darndest, meanest road to ride on
you ever SEEM"
"No," replied the New Yorker, ''the
road has pretty good reputation, and
I've seen many worse one"
"You don't sayl Well, by thunder,
I'd rather ride on my hayrick. Miser-
ablest, poorest land ever see around
here. Corn amt knee high"
''Is that the reason you don't like the
road?"
That's part of it, but faint all. Git
shooken up wuss'n corn in a pepper. By
gum, wouldn't ask one of my hogs to
travel on this road"
"You don't travel on it much yourself,
then?"
'No, Stree! Other people can do the
travelling. I'll stay at home. Just ben
to New York second time in my life;| IN
won't go agin if can help it. Darn
dest old railroad in New Jersey"
and he looked savagely out of the win
dow, ard nursed his wrath in silence
for many minutes. At last the train
drew up at a lonesome station, and the
old man said:
81 git out here, mister, and Pm darned
sorry for you that you've got to go any
further. My horse and wagon will be
waitin' for me little ways out from
here, and, if it'll be any pleasanter for
you, I'll drive you as far as l go your
way. No? All right, you won't meet
me on another train longs I live" and
he grumbled his way to the platform.

OLD DREAD SWAIN.
A Statesman of the Long Ago Who Had
Funny Experience.

a Statesman OF the Long ago VINO HAD
Funny Experience.
Away out in the pine woods of Mont
gomery County, says the Americas (Ga.)
Times, there lives an old man that is as
full of stories of the olden time as any
lover of ancient lore could wish. Here
is one of his best:
There is big difference nowadays in
the way things are done, and want to
tell you of a very eccentric character
who lived in the long ago and who was
quite celebrity in his day. 1 allude to
old man Dread Swain, of Emanuel Coun-
ty. For twenty-eight years he repre-
scented his county in the State Legis-
lature and many amusing things are
told of him. There were few railroads
in his time and the only way for him to
get to Milledgeville was to go on horse
back or walk, and then, of course, If he
went on horseback he would be put to
the expense of keeping his horse while
there; so he usually walked, taking his
rifle and killing game and camping out
on the trip, and it is said of him that
instead of boarding in the city like the
other members, he used to camp out in
the suburbs and go into town every
day. He was very penurious old
gentleman and hated to spend his
money for any thing. 1 recall one
amusing tale' that they used to
tell of him, and it has the merit of be-
ing literally true. The story, with
some variations, has been told of sever
al old-timers, but is true only when ap-
piled to old man Swain. AS told you,
he usually took his rife with him to
Milledgeville, and along toward the
close of his many terms of service he
started from his home to the capital on
foot, as usual, and reaching his old
camping ground in the suburbs late in
the afternoon he pitched his camp for
the night, or for the term, for that
matter. Early next morning his ever
vigilant hunters eye lighted upon the
dome Of the capitol, built during his
absence. OF course old man Swain had
never heard of nor seen such things,
and he at once took it to be sure
enough live eagle, sitting there in the
morning sunlight "Ill-pt," said old
Dread. "You nasty sheep-stealer, I'll
fix you in a jify." The old man took
his rifle and began stalking" the
counterfeit eagle. Getting within long
range he drew a bead on the ''bird Of
freedom" and pulled down, and, of
course, thought he had missed. Think
ing possibly he was too far from his
game for sure shot, he started to get
nearer, when he met some parties who
had been attracted by his first shot.
"Hist," says old man Swain, keep
low; don't you see that eagle up on the
capitol yourself?" When their laughter
has subsidized sufficiently they ex-
planned to him his mistake, and many
laugh did the members have at his ex-
pense.

WHERE SHE COMES.

With heavy elders overhung,
Half hid in clover masses,
An old fence rambles on, among
The tangled meadow grasses.
1t makes a shade for lady-fern
Which nestles close beside it;
While clematis, at every turn,
And roses almost hide it.
In shade Of overhanging sprays
And down a sunny hollow,
BY hazel-copse, and woodland ways,
The winding fence follow;
By rose and thorn, and fragrant dew,
In search OF something sweeter-
The orchaSi-gap where she comes through,
And go down to meet her.
The sunlight slants across she fence,
Where nchens gray it over,
And stirs hundred dreamy scents
From fern, and mint, and clover;
But though the air is sweet to-day,
know OF something sweeter:
That she can only come this way,
And 1 am sure to meet herI
And so, while chipmunks run match
To tell the wrens who's coming,
And all across the brier patch
There sounds drowsy humming-
The hum Of honey -seeking bees
seek for something sweeter:
A gap, amongst the apple-trees,
Where ] am going to meet heri
