Workmen excavating a cellar in Monroe county, Indiana, a few days ago, came upon an interesting memento of the :'forgotton race. The workmen struck what nt first appeared to be a solid lodge of rock ar.d sitting down to rest, one of their number began idly to pick at an apparent fissure when a block of stone nearly two feet square disappeared with a dull thump. The men set eagerly to work and removing 'he bottom of the pit disclosed a chamber with six feet ceiling and eighteen by twenty-live within the walls, which arcofeolid, neatly seamed stone work. Ranged in rows, on rudely constructed platforms, were twelve skeletons, each with tomahawk and arrow heads at its si le, ear-rings and bracelets of solid silver lying where they dropped, and piles of wtiat appeared to nave been furs, in the centre of the platform, each pile crumbling to dust as soon as exposed to the the light. A num ber ol tools, made of copper, and hardened equal to tho best cast steel, were also unearthed., and fresh discoveries are constantly being •nar’e.

So much- partlc is devoid of calm, consented widowhood and what makeH lac matter worse is. that they uye their hair as golden I as ciiertucal preparations can make 'it. To much incendiary mourning is to such a degree combustible that a lady, while lately admiring a lovely creature in the glory of widowhood, expressed her unlimi ted pleasure by saying that such a toilette was enough to make a wile look forward to her husbands funerul with comfort.
