his glory, and that he bequeathed with

stone wall so as to escape the coffin.
On the 18th Of May, Louis Philippe
commanded that the ashes of Napoleon

A cave 100 feet long by 90 feet wide,
which has been discovered in Alfred

cavated and a report made by William
Bailey, in Man for January. After
digging through several layers of soft
soil stratum of hard material was
struck, in which were found many
flint cores, flakes and other stone i'm
plements, with grinding stones and
hammers. Below this, large slabs of
stone were found, one nf them being
16 feet long and feet wide. On re-
moving these slabs three skeletons
were discovered lying side by side, all
crushed fat. The height of the slele-
tons was feet inches, feet 8
inches and 2 feet II inches respective

other two and is presumably that of a
child. The bones crumbled to dust on

Common honesty is still common,

Some timid people have been asking
whether such exposures were not go-

the fact. Property would have
mighty little right about it, if it
all were accumulated by graft and
theft and extortion. Every time a
sleek thief is exposed the rights Of
