PREHISTORIC REMAINS, DATING BACK 41 B.
C, TOUND AT IT. L00I8.
It in generally known in this country,!
and in scientific circles in Kuropu, that
tho gignntic uudeithkiug of bridging!
the Miesissippi Hiver «t this point bus 1
been already begun, nnd that for more \
than n year, when the state of the livfir
would permit, the sound of the ponder-,
our much in ary has censed not day nor
night, but the work of excavation lins 1
been going un until tlio solid rock has I
been reached for tho foundation of the |
piers upon the wonlerh shore. Ono of
the niers is already above low water
mart—n triumph of mechanical skill.—
Thu blocks of stone of which it is built
are ns huge ns those of tho l’yrumids.
and yet, by tho application or original
principle-H of mcuhuuiuul and vngineer-
ing skill, these gigantic blocks arc
moved ns easily iin t liu common found a-
lion stones of our dwellings The outer
pier is not yet begun, the excavation*
therefor not being quite completed. At
this point tlio wonders begin, the end ol
which is not yet. Whal effeefa the dis
covery of this tunnel under tlio river
may have upon the location ol the
bridge tho board ef engineers will sot n
determine. About *li P. M. yestoiday
tlio workmen engaged in blasiing tho
rocks in the bottom of tho excavation
for tlio foundation of this pier when, im I
mediately after the report, n strange
pheiluinunpu presented itaolf, lustsad j
of huviug tlio usual time for tho smoke j
to clear awnv, they saw it ascendTupitl
ly in a column, as though issuing from
the smokestack of ono of our stcuniera.
This soon clcurcd, and it was found that
a steady amount ot air with a strange
damp odor was issuing from the cav
ernous excavation, showing that an
opening luul been made into some un
known huhtorrune.iu passage. Ppmi
descending to tho bottom the usual mud
and water had disappeared through a
dark deep opening in the rock about tea
feet in diameter, Hindu by the last dis
charge of powder. Ropes, ladders, and
torches were immediately procured and
cureful explorations begun. Wo cum
not now enter into detailed description,
hut having been invited to accompany
the board of engineers with a delega
tion from the Academy of Science and
Historical Society, wo must 1 eservo u
full exposition of the wonderful discov
ery until wo nhull have made a more
c .r. ful survey. Suffice it for the pros-
out to sav it is certain that it passrs en
tirely under tht liver to the Illinois
shore, and whet tier it is wholly the work
of song) undent race who onuo inhabit
ed this bind, wlmsointeresting remains
nro Mi own *o thickly up and down this 1
great valley, or whether it is partly nat
ural uiid puitly artificial, remains to be I
seen. In nny ense it i* none tho less *
stupendous Tlio Iiiuill passage we;
should judge to bo about twenty feet |
high by liljfcei! broad, und systematical-1
ly arched overhead ; port of tlio way .
by cutting through aolid look and pari
by substantial musoiiiy. The bnlto'n I
scented to be muqli worn, as if by cur-1
liagu «hurls of Home sort. Theio are
many InttiTal puHHugcs, which, of I
course, wo had no time to uuti-r. These I
ure about eight furl high und six feet I
widu In llm main passage wu saw no 1
tools or implements of wurkmauship, but
on eutcring one of the lultorul passages
wo soon emerged into u large chamber
supporlud by louniug pillars of selid 1
rock when the chamber whs excavated.!
Around the nulls of this chamber there |
were wlmt. seemed to bo niellos closed;
with closely lining slabs, each slab cov- j
ored with inscripLons in Jlunic nnifoim .
choriictors which to our eyes boro a
marvellous I'csuinblliuoa to tlioso upon !
Die slab in the Mcrmmtile Library, which I
won brought from thumiucs of Nineveh. |
lie tween the niches were projecting pi
lasters, with draped Assyiiiaii or Kgyp ,
linn heads, which presented a most iia- '
preasivo and awe inspiring effeet us limy J
w cie illiimiimled by tho lorcldight.— -
Those sweet, Bud faces locked down
upon us Iroin the ancient ages, like the {
souls of the departed. Ono of the pas- .
sag's opening oa the north aide seemed
to f.illmv the course of the river, and it ^
is believed extends to tlio great inound
now beiug removed by the North Mis-!
souri Railroad, which was the theme of
much iiiiuretUiug remark at the last
meeting of the ilisloricul Society. To
those w lie have, not seen the mounds
around St, Louis, it mny be necessary
to say that the mound known as the
iiig Mound, is ubout ono mih* above the
groat bridgo now bring built. Till*,
mound know'll ns Monk’* Mound is on
tho other side of the river, und is but
ono of a continuous oiiuia of mounds
extending from the rivor to the binds, a j
dislniioe of nine miles. It is conjee-,
lured that the tunnel under the river
und thu mounds ure inlimutely connect-'
cd, and that ilieru tvus in ancient tuuos
un opeuiug through thu uioumU Iruin
this subtK laiu-Hii hiuhwny. Oi eoiirsc
every seiuutidc man is in u perleut fever
of uxcileiuviil at these grand discover-
it H which seem so lull ol proniiriu to ur
chmological nnd ethnological inquiries
after truth. It will bu rciucmh.rcd by
our uilixeiia that Home lew montlm since
un examination ol Mfmk's Mmii.d was I
Hindu Uudfll tiib auspices oi imujio K.is
tern scieiitili.: aia ioiy; und during the
excavations Guru woru frcijUrnl uxlula
(mil* ol disagreeable gusufi and valors.—
Yvt wu will not apeculatu, but wail in
idgiosi bi fslldcss si|speuiie for fulUfv
dt vxrlnpnwilts. As wo rulu u< d fi.uu
our hnstv examination, passing through
itH pilnstorod hull ubovu ilescrihed, wo
observed a descending opening about
seven feet lii^h by three feet wide. T\»l
lowing this in its windings about llfly
yards, wo cnino to n (light or f»rty-ono
steps, ascending which, we found our
selves in another chamber of w onders—
oval in Hlinpe, about sewn feet long,
twenty foot high, and throe foot widu
Tim walls of this last chamber wore
sculptured in magnificent bnsrulirf and
Runic inscriptions. IVofcmor Haculiio,
tho Ivarnsd .Sanscrit of the university,
who was with U*, has taken upon him
self tho task of translating tho inscrip
tions. Of tho meaning of sonto of the
words nnd tho colossal scriptures, ho ul-
bo speaks very confidently. Ono of tho
mnguiiicent groups lie is certain is in
tended to represent Ahasliuerua crown
ing Queen Ulizabulh. And uiiothcr
grouj) of colossal figures roproHouting
captives following tho oar of a victorious
couqiisrar uro pro trults of Luke Don
tpronomy and.thu friend going into uap-
livity. This rcinarkiibio discuvory, fol
lowing fio qiiiokly llm one nt Rock In
land, will awaken the intensost intcreHt
throughout tho world. It is very desi
ruble that the suvans into whose hands
tho rich treasures of tho I'ock Island din
covOfy Iiuh fallen will send representa
tives here, ho that we may compare
notes, for it in possible that both these
wonders and those discovered here wore
the works uf the same ancient people.
Dkiucvsk of Ciiii.DitF.N — Not long
ago Pr. Stover nnd others, in Mnssnoliu
setts, in soiiiu comments upon the sin
gular fuot that tlio Increase of cldldifin
in that Stato is limitnd almost wholly to
tho foreign population, assigned thu
cause of it to tho commonnasN of tho
crime of feticide. It now appears that
Maine is following MusshcIiuhoUh in thu
decrease of the rising gunoiatiroi. Mr.
Wa-.ren Johnson, thu Rt»t«> simcrinten
dent of common schools in Maine, re
ports to tho Legislature that there in a
dfcrenFo of 16.688 scholars between the
uges of four and twenty one years from
tlio ecus .s of 1858. Thu decrease in
tho past year has boon 8,182; the do-
crenno in 1864 wan 4,141, and tlm total
decrease from tho maximum of 1860 is
nearly 20,000 Mr. Johnson very nat
urally considers this dccreasu alarming,
hut, ns lie cannot natlufactorily account
for it, Im proposes a scries of inquiries,
mo.h as: "Have we ceased to bo a pro
ducing p> oplo ?'* "Are tlio vital forces
expended in brain labor and lost to phys
ical reproduction ?" and, “Are the
modern fiikliioiiublo criminalities of in
fanticide creeping into our Rtfite com
munity V Coming from mich n source,
tin h-are quasi ions of font fill import,
relating iim lliuy do to tlm populations

was strong and vigorous, and soon made
Ins way ucross the country, and escaped
pursuit, lie arrived next morning ho-
lore n cottage ir. nn open field, nnd
stopped to beg something to cat, and
for uoncQuhnent wliilo he reposed a lit
tle. Hut he found the inmates of tho
eatings in the greatest distress. Four
little children sat trembling In n corner,
their mother was weeping nnd tearing
her lmir, and the hither was walking
tlio floor in agony. The galley slave
asked wlmt was the matter, ami the
father replied that they woru that morn
ing to be turned out of doors bectinsc
they eould not pay the rent.
‘You soo mo driven to despair,’ said tho
f-ther. "my wife nnd little children with
out food or shelter, nnd I without moans
to provide for thorn.”
The convict listened to this tale with
sympathy, nnd then said,—
‘1 will give yon moans I have but
just escaped from the galleys ; whoever
•oourvH and takes an escaped prisoner,
is entitled lo ti reward ol fifty francs.
How much does your rent amount to?’
‘Forty francs,’ answered the lutlior.
‘Well,’ suid thu other, nut a cord
uround my body : I will follow you to
the city; they will recognize mo, nnd
you will get fifty francs lor bringing mo
back.*
‘No, i.ever 1* exclaimed tho a*toni<died
listener : “my children should starve a
dozen times, before I would do so base
a thing.*
Tho generous your.g man insisted,
und doolurud,nt last, that he would go
and give liimscM up, if the father would
nut consent to tnku him. After a long
Struggle, tho father yielded, nnd taking
his proservor by tiro arm, led him to the
city nnd to the major’s office. Every
body was surprised that a little man,
like the lather, hud been ublo to cup
turo such a stout young man; but the
proof was bo’oro them. Tho fifiy francs
were paid, and the prisoner sent bnuk
to tho galleys, lint uflui he was gone,
the fattier asked a private interview w<tli
tlio tn.ijor, to whom ho told tho whole
story.
Tho major was so much affoctcd that
ho not only lidded fifty franc* more to
tlio father's purse, but wrote immediatv-
ly to the minister of justice, begging the
noble young prisoner’s release. The
minister examined into the nflhir, nnd
finding that it won comparatively u
suiiill ofieiicc which condemned the
young man to tlio galleys, und that ho
had already served out half his limn, lit
ordered his release.
A Tkum.k Tbaokiit.—A murder, fol

A young rnnn hy tlio name of Demsey

Young Doinsy was nn only ion, nod
his father, on hearing of his trngcal
death, was so overwhelmed with grief
that ho dropped defld where ho stood.

found that her mother was also dead of

of a single clutso to turn throe iliffurent

known to spoi lsmen, and is not there

is discovered, the hounds i.ro drawn off
from the false pursuit nod led back to
thu kcuuL of the original stag, who wus
driven Iroin hi* hiding place und com
pelled to run for his lifo.
Another, nnd of tor a more successful
mode of'baffling his enmities is, for a
stag to take “soil,” in other words, to
sink himself in » pool or river, keeping
his nostrils or but a small portion ol

tMfc.Thcre uro n g*»od many stories of
amino sagacity afloat, and these nro the
latest, if not thu best, ws have seen :
A story is told of a Scotch dug which,
whenever a penny wus given him, lie
(Mud to go »» once to a baker with the
coin in his mouth, when, on dropiug it,
tlio bakor would give him a peuny roll.
Un one occasion thu baker cheated him,
taking his penny but only giving him a
half penny roll—and then the dog wont
nnd fetched n poliuemun 1 It should bo
remembered, howuvur, that it wns a
Scotch dog. Another c.roo of canine
instinct may bo given. A ludy in Lou
don had a pooclle, which carried her
letters from a postman to it couch in tlio
holy's parlor. On ono occasion tlio la
dy, to her astonishment, observed thu
favorite dog putting the only letter it
curried into the fif’, instead <-f putting
it on the dhu'oli. Amazed she rushed
forward and rescued tho letter, although |*°° n got out of order,
nearly hnlf-biiriiod ; and, lo and behold,
it was u ting tux schedule 1
for tho purposo of leasing a eliding
