opening with brilliant paper by Rev.

Critic of Christian Faith and His An
ticipation of Modern Thought"
Justice Walter Clark, IL. D. of the
Supreme Bench of North Carolina. con-
tributes an Instructive and delightful
paper on Mexico, the interest of which
is enhanced by several excellent illus.
trations, including recent portrait of
the President of the Mexican Republic
The President of the Mercantile Ma
tional Bank Of New York contributes
"a Proposed Platform for American
Independents for 1885," which illus
trates how strongly the, silver move
ment is taking hold of Eastern finan-
ciers no less than the mass of voters in
the South and West Recently Jay
Cook, the veteran banker, who hoated
the government bonds in 1861, at the
time of our sorest need, came out bold
ly for free silver. Mr.. st. John, who
has made finance study for more than
twenty years, and who Is president of
bank having capital of 81, 200, 900, is
no less pronounced on this subject.
Another paper of special merit, on
"Bimetallism," appears in this number
by A. j. Utley. 1t is able and from q
silver point of view very convincing.
Prof Parsons, of Boston University

Mr.. b. o. Flower, the editor of THE

the aspect of "Poet of Freedom" and
giving many Of Whittier's most stirring
lines. A fine portrait of the Quaker
Poet forms frontispiecs to this num-

THE OIL MARKET.
A Review of the Price of Petroleum for
the Past Week.

A Review of the Price of Petroleum for
the Past Week.
The reports from the producing fields
continue to be of bearish tenor, though
they are, of course, satisfactory to the
producers, as the larger average pro-
duction compensates for the lower
price realized for the oil. Some impor-
tant extensions of what had heretofore
been regarded as defined territory are
reported and the wells indicate prob
able still larger area that may prove
profitable. The wildcating other than
endeavors to find extensions have not
proved profitable, as by far the larger
number of such ventures have resulted
in dry holes. One feature of the weeks
news from the older regions is the find
ing oil in sections which were thought
to have been drained, showing that the
oil is in many cases confined in pockets
or pools having circumscribed area.
The production has kept vp to the aver
age of last month, and as the dellYer-
les, though somewhat larger, show no
important increase, there has been
steady accumulation of stocks.
The bearish field news and the bear
ish aspect of the statistical situation
have had their effect on prices, and the
dollar mark is now again near at hand.
The sanguine ones, who year ago
pointed to the diminished stocks and
the phenomenal advance in prices, on
which they based their prediction that
oil at dollar per barrel was thing
of the past, and would never again be
realized, are beginning to reflect on
the uncertainty of all matters pretain-
to the petroleum industry. On the ex-
changes there have been few signs of
interest. and while the tendency of
prices has brought sellers to the front,
tho buyers have become corresponding
ly cautious, and keep their bids at a
safe limit. 'a .,@

FOUND DEAD!
Several Members OF the Figst Families OF
Marietta

Several Members OF the Fest Families of
Tuesday afternoon on the Strecker
ridge. back of Putnam Place. there
were found the bodies of several dead
men and women-aye. very dead, for
the bodies had lain there for period
longer than any man can conjecture
with any degree of certainty.
The remains referred to were those
of some Mound-builders, and aside
from this hypothecated information,
man wot5 not.
On the Strecker ridge, which is as
straight and finely formed as If thrown
up by the hands of man, are several
mounds; one of them Is especially at
tractive, for it has growing about it
several large tries which lend pic
turesque appearance to the place.
This mound was first opened last fall
by Willard Davis and Others OF Lowell,
they having first obtained the permis-
sion of the Messrs. Strecker SO to do.
Tuesday afternoon the seventh skel-
etou was unearth ed. All of them were
in a stage of decay that only admitted
of the most delicate handling. They
were found about three feet from the
surface, and were not buried with any
order as to direction. With the re-
mains there were found arrow heads,
copper beads, elk horns, and clam
shells without number
We made trip to the mound We'd
nesday, and found Mr.. Davis down
in the hole, tediously resurrecting the
mortal remainder of Mound builder
by means Of case knife. The bones
were, with the exception of the skull,
very soft, and it was with extreme diff
fculty that the outline of the body
could be obtained.
After sufficient digging to expose the
skeleton, photograph of it was made
by Mr.. D. II. Buell.. The picture will
prove very interesting to those who
have care for things prehistoric.

RUFUS HILL, che master mechanic of
the Pennsylvania Railroad company,
predicts that within FIVE years electric
motiye power will be used over the
greater part of that system. He bases
this prediction on his observations and
experiences with a branch he helped
to equip between Burlington and Mount
Holly in New Jersey. within a
month after that line started" said
Mr.. Hill, "the time schedule was made
at the rate of over sixty miles an hour,
with frequent trains. The service has
been found to be far superior to any
Ehihg known in steam railway practice,
and the economy in operation has been
more than we expected. An electric
locomotive has been applied not merely
to the haulage of trains, but to all the
switching service in the yards and the
various kinds of service of that ma
ture." With such gratifying results it
is difficult to see how general substi-
tuition of electricity for steam can be
avoided not only by the branch but by
the trunk lines throughout the country.
