BOUND BY IRON LINKS.
Two Skeletons Whose Discovery Point
toa Medieval Tragedy.

Two Skeletons Whose Discovery Points
toa Medieval Tragedy.
A curious discovery has just been made
by wine-grower in the department of the
Chareute, says the Belfast News-Lett r.
Adjoining his property are the ruins of an
ancient chateau, which has been left to its
fate for centuries. As part of one of the
walls of this ola pile was showing symptoms
of an approaching collapse. the peasant OBJ
tanned permission to remove it, and few
days ago he set to work 10 demolish it.
After toiling for couple of hours. to his
amaZement he came upon couple of skele-
tons, the necks, arms and legs of which had
been tightly bound to each other by iron
links. They were In an erect position, and it
was evident that they were the remains Of
men who had been immured hundreds OF
years ago. The wine-grower lost no time
In drawing the attention of local antiquari-
ans Of of his discovery, and a careful in
vestlgatOn revealed further the presence of
fragments of clothing, which had been al
most reduced to dust, as well as of rusty
weapon and two pieces Of wood.
The skeletons are to be placed in the Boz
deaux Museum. and great pains are being
taken to insure their transport in the same
position as that in which they were found.
There Is no doubt that some tragedy of the
middle ages. OF which possibly some record
may survive, led to the confinement OF these
unfortunate victims in the manner described.
1t IS matter of course that the strange dis
covery Is engaging the attention of anti
quarians IN that part of France, and it is by
no means imprO bable that some clew TO the
mystery may be forthcoming ere long.

The finder is there, all ready for me. Do
YOU know how II was made? You took an
old cotton stocking arrived at that time et

You lied il up and YOU burned it over the
box so that the black ashes all dropped to-

not To disturb.
That made the best finder. but II stock

cotton rags. Having bought my finder box

chair and barked his shins and banged his
head against the chest of drawers; then he
found the finder box and sat down to light
the candle.

sinful temper in the present.
The other parent then got out, and, in

in an apopiexy OF bawling, the pap was
warmed and administered. About 2 o'clock

of Emma Raggs were not in the grave. but

RACE INCREASE.

The revelations of the census de-
monstrate that the white people at
the South and in this country are
increasing, relatively, much faster
than the negroes. The census re-
ports Of 1870 and 1880. which caused
sc much alarm on one side, and SO
many delusive anticipations, on the
other side, are shown to have been
radically deficient in this respect.
During she last decaie-that is from
1880 to 1890, the whites increased
1858 per cent. and the colored
population, including Chinese, Japa-
nese and civilized Indians, 1871 per
cent. The white population in 1890
was 54,983,89O, and the colored
population 7,638,300.

PROTECTIVE tariff is the Pandora s
box from which has emanated all
the evil and peril to the republic.
Protection has robbed the masses to
create and enrich a class; it has
tostered sectionalism in order to d.
vert public attention to itself; it
has deluded laboring men with the
cry Of protection and laid the toun>
dation of social disorder. If the
working men would vote against the
party Of protection instead OF shoot
ing the hired guards of protection s
bvne6ciaries they would strike at
the root Of the wrongs of which they
complain, and by which they are
maddened. The only protection in
the robber tariff is to the few who
are enriched by the tariff thatimpov-
erishes the many.

supposed to be third party advocates.
They are republicans still and will
support the national ticket while in
the south the democrats will split to
some extent. In both sections the
third party will draw it strength
from the democrats. The western

1T pleases every Southern Demo>
crat to read from the pen of Grover
Cleveland these lines condemning
the outrageous force bill: Il do
not wonder that those adopting these
resolutions speak of the force bill az
a horror OF Republicanism. Such
doctrines as it embodies are direct
attacks upon the theory Of our gov
eminent, and while such a measure
especially menaces the welfare and
prosperity OF the South, it must be
condemned and denouL ced by all

country and have the least claim
to be numbered among those who
believe in the principles Of true
Democracy. Very truly yours,

The resolution introduced in the
House some time ago by Congress-
man Watson for the investigation of
the Pinkerton detectives agency is
being literally discussed by his
friends, some of whom go so far as
to claim that the fight against them
was originated by him. This is not
correct. Maj. j. G. G. Black, dur
ing the course of a speech in Column
bia county last week, called Gtten>
ton to the fact that the state of
Georgia already has on its statute
books law prohibiting the bringing
of Pinkerton men into this state for
service. The act was ratified Dec.
80, 1890-'91. The real opposition
to the Pinkertons began in the
Georgia legislature, a Democratic
body. Following up the good ex-
ample OF Georgia, the State of Ken
lucky last week passed an act forever
shutting out the Pinkertons from
that State.
