Senator TELLER on silver.

The silver bill was then taken up and
Mr. Teller addressed the senate. The peo-
pie Of Colorado had comparatively little
interest in the Advancement of the price Of
silver, because, although they produced
one-sixth of all the silver in the world. they
did not depend upon the silver produd
and very shortly the other interests Of the
state would far outweigh the interest Of
mere silver production. The silver pro
duction of the United States was insignifi-
cant in comparison with the great interests
of the country that were involved in the
rehabilitation of silver as a money metal
Il was demanded in the interest Of human
ity, in the interest of civilization in the
interest of progress, in the interest Of the
whole human race. There was in the
country a general feeling that silver ought
to be used as money on equal terms as far
as practicable with gold He did not know
senator, except one, who did not hold
that the demand for silver coinage was one
that ought to be met.
He Talks Of ths window Bill.
Coming down to a discussion Of the
Window bill, Mr.. Teller said that nothing
would suit the'secretary of the treasury but
treasury note payable in a commodity.
twas the first time that the "store system"
which prevailed in mining and manufact-
uring regions, was proposed to be applied
to the treasury department Of the United
States. Nobody knew better than the men
who stood behind that scheme that itwould
not put silver to par. and nobody was more
determined than those men that silver
should not 60 TO par. Speaking of the bill
as reported by the finance committee, he
said that that committee was composed Of
silver men Except one) and that il had
presented another scheme that was said to
be an improvement on the Window bill

The Antiquity of spectacles.

Perhaps it is known to but few people
that the use of Spectaclcs can be
traced back as far as 1000 years. The
Emperor Nero, who was short-Sighted,
used concavc glasses TO enable him to
watch the gladiatorS. Up to the thir-
teenth century only single glasses, such
rs are now known as reading glasses.
were known, and the invention OF the
two-eyed spectacles falls somewhere
about the year 1890. In an epitaph
found at Florence one Salvina Degli Ar
matt is credited with the invention. but
other authorities aScribc it to the monk
Alexander Won Spina. In the fourteenth
century spectacleS were fairly common
and. rs they were considered precious,
were often specially mentioned in
ancient statements. Frequently a kind
Of beryl was used in place of glasses;
hence the German name "brille. Inc
manufacture of spcctacleS was at irst
carried on in Italy, afterward at Middle
burg. in Holland but as early as l4s2
we have spectacle makers mentioned at
Nurnburg. After awhile the use
Of spectacles became fashionable IN
Spain. and, no doubt many one at the
nresent time who carries the append
age of eyeglasses does so more for APP
pearance than actual need of assistance

CURIOUS INDIAN RELICS.
Skeleton of Woman Buried in an Urn
for More than 200 Years.
Nelr York Sun.

\ discovery important to relic hun
tiers has just been made at Sandy Hook,
in the eastern part of Newton, Conn. 1t
is the finding of several skeletons and a
quantity of curious Indian relics which
have lain undisturbed for more than
200 years. Two woodcock hun
tiers from Bridgeport George Morgan
and Thomas Vose, were out on Sat
urday, and while crossing small ridge
of ground half mile above the rubber
mills found an earthern jar, the top of
which was exposed on account of the
recent heavy rains. Taylor has dog
which is crazy to hunt woodchucks, and
he set the animal to digging by the
sides of the jar. Morgan turned TO and
assisted, and it took half an hour for
the two men and the dog to unearth the
curious jar. 1t was mammoth vessel,
and stood nearly three feet high. The
sides were decorated in a rough
way with clay of Il different
color from the jar itself, which
was dark stone brown. Age had weak
ened the vessel and the contents caused
so great pressure that in a few mo-
mentS il fell apart and exposed the en-
tire skeleton of an adult in sitting
posture, with the head bent over and
resting between the knees. When the
jar tumbled apart the dry gravel also
! fell away and left the bones almost en-
tirely free from the dirt. Although the
skeleton was perfect, with the eXcep-
ton of the small bones which had
crumbled away. the skull and verte-
br;e were too frai to bear handling and
broke when taken in the hand.
The skull was undou btedly that of an
| Indian woman who had been buried
with hOnOrS. In the burial urn were
several stone implements and Quanti-
ty of shell beads, which had probably
been strung together. Under the pot
WAS peck or more of clam shells and
arrow heads, all of which had been
baked The flint arrow points were al
ways rendered useless by baking before
being buried with the dead to prevent
the graves being opened for plumber.
Mr.. Morgan suggested that further in
veStigation be made, and the earth was
dug away for quite distance. Half Il
dozen stone hammers and axes were un-
earthed, and finally four more skeletons
were found. These were noj buried in
urnS, but rested in the same sitting
posture, and the excavations which had
been made for the bodies we're partly
filled with burned shells and arrow
heads.
Many years ago DIR. w. c. Vile, pub
Usher of the Ncc England Medical jour
nal, at Danbury, found an Indian mound
at Sandy Hook, and he has insisted
that there were more of then scattered
about Newton. The rise of ground on
which the jar was washed out last week
is undoubtedly an Indian bul al place OF
large extent, and Taylor, who was well
known to the public as detective at
the time of the Rose Amblr murder,
will endeavor to find out Who is the
rightful owner of the land. Residents
of Sandy Hook do not seen TO know
whose property the land is where the
bones were discovered on Saturday.
Morgan will buy the land as, Specula-
tive scheme.

The rapidest railroad building ever
seen hereabouts is now TO be seen on
the Huntington and Big Sandy. The
greater part of the grade is now ready
for the ties and rails, and tracklaying
will begin on the road next week. The
bridge across Fourpole is now being
built, and will be completed before all
the track is laid. The company started
out with the intention of having trains
running by February l, 1891, and they
will have them on the road by that time.
