Two Skeletons Unearthed Bound
Together with Iron.
A curious discovery has just been made
by wine-grower in the Department of
the Charente. says the Belfast Nrws Letter.
Adjoining his property nro the ruins of
an ancient chateau. which has been left
to its fate for centuries. AS part of one
of the walls of this old pile showed symp-
toms of m approaching collapse, the peas
ant obtained permission to remove il, and
few days ago lie set to work to demol
ish it.
After toiling for a couple of hours, to
his anGZemeut he came upon two skelc-
tons the necks, arms and legs of Nhich
had been tightly bound to each other by
iron links. They were in an erect posi-
ton, and it was evident that they were
the remains of men who had been I'M
prisoned hundreds Of years ago
The wine grower lost no time in draw
ing the attention of local antiquarians to
his discovery and a careful Investigation
revealed further the presence of frag-
menls Of clothing which had been re
duced almost to dust MS well aS OF rusty
weapon anu two pieces of wood.
The skeletons Gre to be placed in the
Bordeaux MUSEUM and great pains are
being taken to insure their transport
thither in the same position as that III
which they were found
There is no doubt that some tragedy of
the middle ages, OF which possibly some
recoid may survive, led to the contne-
ment of these unfortunate victims in the
manner described. II is n matter OF
course that the strange discovery is en-
gaging the attention of antlquarians in
that part of France aud II is by no means
improbable that some clue to the mystery
may be forthcoming ere long.

CYRUS FIELD PENNILESS,
His Insane Son Mado Away with
100000 in Securities.

Some or the most sensational features OF
the Field family troubles are made public to-
day. Edward NJ. Field, after n desperate at
| tempt made upon his own life, has been re-
moved from this city to private insane asy-
lum at Mount Vernon by order OF Judge Nc
Adam. His friends are more emphatic than
ever in declarations that he IS really a
lunatic, and In their denials that his alleged
insanity is cloak to hide his msdoings, or
at least to make them appear less heinous.
In addition, the fact has come out that,
Just before the suspension OF the firm was an
nounced, Edward Field had gone to his
father, told him OF his financial distress and
had asked his assistance to enable him to
tide over the crisis In his affairs.
| He did not tell his father oil, but only
enough to let him see that his failure to meet
his obligations would result In Shame and dis
! grace to himself and his family.
! cyrus W. Field was at the time Frustrated
by the death OF his vile, as It was only two
days after her funeral, ana wishing to be
spared another affilction he gave the key OF
his strong box to his son, telling him to take
and use what he needed to help him out OF
his difficulties.

The Press can never superse de
the pulpit. The cry that the
preachers work is work of
supererogation in our day, because
OF the printed page, has no warrant
for it. The newspaper, magazine,
tract and different forms of reli-
gious instruction, by means of
type. and ink, are doing I'M
told good, but the living
voice has it's mission, and nothing
can ever take its place. God has
ordained preaching as living and
enduring agency in His Church.
We have more culture and breath
in the ministry generally than for
merly, but not as much of the sim
plicity and fervor of the Gospel.
What we want now is greater
spirituality, zeal, directness and
fervency. Let the pulpit of the
land be baptized from on high, as
it is capable of being. and the re-
suits will convince all gainsayers of
its supremacy and effectiveness.
Mr.. Gladstone's recent letter in
favor of home rule for Scotland has
given rise to considerable discus
sion in that country, where the
subject is attracting more attention
than it has since the union with
England.

Worth Remembering.

The successful man make friends,
and to do this he must show him
self friendly to all men, and par
ticularly to all the enterprises
which men undertake IN masses.
He must not only have quick and
full sympathy with all that helps
the community in which he lives,
but he must actively aid it and
help it. The man who does this
will be helped by others. People
will find his presence pleasant to
them, and his words and his work
useful. They will reciprocate his
efforts. If he is q merchant they
will trade with him if q pro-
fessional man they will employ
him and if politician, they
will vote for HIM. Such men be.
come part of everything, and by
aiding everything, secure a profit
from everything. 1t is q mere
question of working for men and
with men, instead of working
against them. There is no patent
on this process of making money,
nor does it require any capital to
go into the business. It requires
only that man shall be genuinely
glad to hear of another mans sue
cess, and always ready to promote
anything and everything that will
help the community in it's onward
and upward progress. Men who
follow this course will achieve sue
cess. They will have an increase
of wealth, OF friendship and of in
fiuence, while the merely selfish
citizen will be Flooding slowly in
the mud of his own seIfishness
without any chance of getting out
of it.
