A recent letter In this correspondence
treated of the relics of the ancient rncc
of Mound Builders stored in tho
museum of the CINCINNATI Society OF
Natural History. This letter will dc.
scribe some of the ruined monuments
left by this prehistoric people in differ
ent parts of the state Remains of this
people are found In nearly ull parts of
the Mississippi valley, but in Ohio are
particularly numerous, and have been
more thoroughly explored than IN most
any other state. They were noticed by
some of the earliest settlers and the in.
vestigation was extended until in 1850
the fullest possible account was pre-
pared by Squire and Davis for the
Smithsonian institution, and was en-
braced in the first contribution of that
institution to the publications of the
day. President William Henry Harrison
was an earnest student of the ruins and
wrote an interesting account of Fort
Hill at the mouth of the Big Miami a
few miles below Cincinnati There
still remain portions of this fortifica-
ton which has been estimated to have
contained four hundred acres of ground,
but the majority of the walls
have long ago disappeared For
time afterward interest languished
and was revived only internationally un-
til 1878 n small literary society of Mad
isonvillc, O., took up the study of the
subject as n part OF. their entertain
mcnts for the winter. and tho splendid
results of some local Investigations by
DIR. LanGdon- of Cincinnati, then res

railroad, attracted tho attention of
Prof. Putnam, of Harvard college, and
in connection with him and with the
aid Of the fund of the Peabody mu-
scum, were extended until they cul-

in which they were found The accom-
panying illustration shows n group OF
these graves as uncovered by Mr.. More
head about two weeks ago. They are con-
structcd OF fiat river stones set up around
the corpse and covered, in some iu-
stances SO securely that though thou
sand years are supposed to have elapsed
since tho burials the gases caused by
decomposition had not all been absorbed
and when the graves were uncovered
were quits pcrceptibic and offensive.
Another important fortifcation In the
Little Miami valley Is along the river
south OF Newtown, ten miles from Gin
cinnati. Tho fort is 200 yards In di-
nmcter, the interior walls being mninly
of stone. The western side Is defended
by deep ditch, while Oh the east there
Is twenty-six yard wide opening lead
ing BY graded way to the alluvial bot
toms, which Mt that time formed the
bed of tho stream now huff q mile dis
tant- This way led out to mounds and
other works, which upon excavation
disclosed affairs of stone four feet
square and weighing many hundred
pounds, ono of which is in the museum
of the Cincinnati Natural History So
ciety and others In the Peabody mu-
scum. The upper side of each one is
drilled out to tho depth of several inches

Serpent mound, which monument is the
property of the Peabody museum. Tho
latest of all work done by untiuuarians
is that of Fort Ancient, about thirty
miles from Cincinnati, where untler the
auspices of the Smithsonian Institution
there was found the other day TN under
ground walled burial vault continuing
the remains of twenty-four persons. all
evidently belonging to that race chino
logically distinguished as che Mound
Builders,
Fort Ancient is the largest Of all che
remains of this people that belong to
the common division of Enclosures of
defense. 1t occupies commanding
hill overlooking the valley OF the Little
Miami for miles II Is most favorably
located for defensive purposes, being
protected by the almost precipjtous
bluffs of the river on tho west, by deep
ravines on the north and south, at the
bottom Of which flow streams Of con-
Siderable magnitude, and which ap-
proach closely to each other toward the
east, so that only narrow strip of land
remains, across which is built an en-
bankmcnt from fifteen to twenty feet
high. and the age OF which Ia attested
by the fact that upon it azc growing
trees that arc hundreds OF years old,
and which most likely arc all younger
than the date of tho abandonment of
the works by the Mound Builders. All
around the edge Of tho bluff extends a
wall of earth. in SOHO places of earth
and stone, that varies In height from
five to twelve feet, and which at tho
time OF their use were no doubt several
feet higher. A farm Is located within
the walls of the fort, which is In three
divisions, an upper, middle and lower.
the whole embracing over hundred
acres. In many places this embanls-
mcnt has been broken through
by the washing Of the waters dur
ing heavy rnins, and the walls at
these breaks are seen to have been
constructed with unusual care MS
though to provide against this very con-.
dition- Halfway down the southern
bluff are threc terraces as though tn
tended as landing places. and there is
evidence that at one time tho water of
the river reached those points. II is
also known that all tho rivers Of the
state were once of much greater magni-
tude than they arc now, and that tho
terraces found tn all OF them mark the
retrogression Of tho waters Bearing
this in mind and remembering that tho
remains of tho Mound Builders are all
upon the higher terraces we have an
idea of the long time that must have
elapsed since the monuments were
erected. The conclusions of all anti
quarians who have examined Fort
Ancient agree that it was used for de-
Tense. There are on the cast the re-
mains of two parallel roads extending
out from the great gateway OF the in
closure nearly half n milo that are gen
orally considered us having been used
for athletic contests as In the running
games of Greece and Rome. These
roads joined ut the farthest point by
circling around mound The site of
this fertilization is rs we'll chosen fo1. de

Suicide in Battle

A group OF old soldiers gathered 10 the rotunaa

stories CT field ard camp during the war, when
one of the number gave the following graphic &C.
count of the suicide Of q Federal officer on tho
field at Gettysburg.
1T was there" said he, 81 saw federal officer,
chagriued because nothing would stay the retreat
of his men, raise his pistol to bis head and blow
out his brains. 1t happened on the second days

part OF his corps from Chamb ,Isburg, Pa, and
vigorously sssailed sickless corps, which ne was
driving back 10 great disorder. sickles halted
and formed his men in lice to receive Longstreet's
onslaught.
ut WIS one of the few times l ever cav corps

staff, was riding among bis men, encouraging
them TO Withstand the Confederate assault, while
Longstreet, with his stsf and Colonel Freemantle,
au English officer and correspondent OF the Lon
don Times were cheering our boys to the charge.
We advanced and save the Federsls terrlhc

CALLING fire when LongstIeet ordered us to gave
them the bayonet as the men wsvered ana
broke to rum an officer stepped 10 the 'front.' ana,
with his sword, signalled them to come oacS.
Again and again he waved to his NOR. but by tins
time they were in full run, and the othcsr, IN MS
angry modification, raised a pistol TO his head
and fred When General Longstreet and Colonel
Freem sntle rode up, they looked down at the
brave Union officer, but the tide Of battle swept
us on. Atlanta Constitution.
