the mound builders.
Startling Discoveries Made to/
the Eminent Prof. Jolg.
Prof. Jolg, the noted archaeologist,
ffho has for years past been closely
studying the history of the ancient
mound builders, traces of whose hand"
ivork are to be found all over the Uni*
ted States, has recently made some won
derful discoveries.
Of late years the professor has been
giving the mound system in his native
country a thorough investigation, and
during the present season he has been
tracing up a chain of mounds that ex*,
tend across the country, from the north
west corner to the so itneast corner.—
He has explored the mounds in several
townships, and is at presont at work
in the township in which ho resides,
and but a few miles from home.
As the professor was returning home
the other night from his daily explor
ing trip he suddenly saw a hitherto un
discovered mound looming up before
him. It was a moonlight night. lie
could see that tho mound was high and
well preserved. It was the most pom
feet specimen ho had ever seen. The
hand of time had touched it lightly.—
Its pristine symmetry was unmarred.
Jolg viewed the mound in speechless
admiration. Ilia enthusiasm was
aroused to the highest pitch, and, dis
encumbering himself of his load of in
struments, of which he always carries a
great number, he set to work with his
spado to make an excavation in the
mound.
What cared ho then for food or lod®
ging ? Nothing 1 Was not here a sub
ject worthy his attention ? Perhaps
within its deep recesses was hidden the
key that would unlook the mystery sur
rounding a once powerful race of beings
whoße histoiy is lost in the obscurity of
centuries ; htings whoae time perhaps
antedated that of the pyramid builders
of Egypt.
He worked rapidly and soon reached
a r depth of three or four feet, when his
spade struok something solid. Caro
fully removing the earth he looked at
the obstacle that buried his progress,
and thumped upon it with his stone
hammer. It gave back a dull hollow
■ound beneath tho blow.
“Boards, by Jupiter ! and as perfect
ly saved as thoso of modern times. Ah!
those mysteiious mound builders were
no doubt much more advanced in
the arts ami sciences than we have sup
posed. By the sound these boards
make there must be a vast cavern be.
low them. Perhaps tho very vault con,
taining treasures of the hundiwork of
those mysterious people, or a collection
o!' hieroglypics thut will shed impor
tant light upon their history,” muttered
the professor.
Taking up his hand-axe he began to
cut his way through and Boon removed
o piece of one of the boards and peer
ed through the opening into the depths
below. The vault was shroudod in a
dense impenetrable gloom that his eyes
ould Mot pieroe. Dropping a Btone
into the vault ho soon heard it strike
tho bottom.
Evidently the cavern was but ten or
twelve feet deep, and he determined to
descend into it and explore it. Taking
a rope from the pouch he always car
ries to collect goological specimens in,
he tied one end to a convenient tree
and dropped the othr into the vau't.
Then lighting a durk lantern—al
ways a part of his equipment —he de
scended the rope into the gloomy depths
of tho mound. He sron reached the
bottom. Ascertaining that his footing
was secure he turned the slide of his
lantern and looked around. The vault
was about twelve by eighteen foot in
size. Various articles of stone and
earthenware were scattered about on
the floor and arranged on shelves along
the walls.
“Ah ! this is indeed glorious,” he
muttered ; “how well am I repaid for
all my years of toil. These articles
are indeed in a wonderful state of pres
ervation ; just as perfect as when last
used by their owners, perhaps thou
sands of years ago. Hermetically seal*
ed jars, too, what can these contain ?
Money? but this lid is bard to re
move.
“The countless ages that have passed
over it have left it firmly imbedded in
its place. Powers of Jove ! these ber„
ties are as fresh and perfect as though
put up but yesterday.
“Ah ! what is this machine ?” as his
eye fell upon something that greatly
resembled a modern sausage-grinder.—
“This is doubtless something they used
in their funeral rites. Perhaps the in
strument they used for crushing tho
ykulls of tho infants that we know they
were in tho habit of sacrificing at tho
burial of their chiefs. I must take it
with mo and discover its use if possi
ble.
“And here—O most superlatively
wondrous wonder of ail wonders ! is a
printed paper ! These printed charac
ters have a half familiar look, but I can
not decipher them.”
(The fact is that it was a Welsh pa,
per; a copy of the Y Wasg. The pro
fessor can read all languages, ancient
and modern, except Welsh.)
“Let me see what is in this tin ves
sel. Bread 1 as I live, and made from
wheaten flour at that—excellently well
made ; batter than what we get in mod
ern times. Ah ! what do these crootes
contain? Powers above! milk, cow’s
milk ! and fresh and sweet as though
drawn from the oow but yosterday.”
The professor gat down and began to
eat a luach. of bread and milk, talking
as he ate.
“Wonder of wonders ! Here I am
lunching of the food prepared by a
race of people who have been extinct
for thousands of years. Oh, but it is
a rare honor. Prof. Schliemann him
self might well envy me this hour.”
He examined the contents of the
mound for some time longer, and then
selecting such relics as he wished to
take home with him that night he
fastened the rope to them, c ambered
out of the vault, drew up the rope and
went trudging homeward.
The next morning by daylight he
had his horse harnessed to his buggy,
and was driving rapidly toward the
place of his adventures the night be
fore The mound is situated on the
premises of Mr. J. A. Eleherty, and as
the professor drove up he found that
individual out in his barn-yard.
“Good morning, Mr. Flebarty.”
“Morning, Professor.”
“1 made a wonderful discovery on
your premises last night, and I have
como to continue my researches this
morning. 1 made an excavation in a
mou'id iust back of your house and
found a large cavern containing many
valuablo relics of the anoient mound
builders. Come with me and see the
important discoveries I have made.”
1 hey passed around to the rear of the
house The mound is situated a few
rods back from the dwelling, and as
they approached it the professor said :
“Its curious this mound was nevor dis
covered before. It took me but a short
time to dig into, and it contains a vast
quantity of most valuable relics of once
numerous and enlightened people who
inhabited this entire continent. Ah !
sir, this antediluvian mound—”
“ Vhat! that an antediluvian mound?
That place contains relics of a once
numerous race that is now extinct ? Is
it possible that you have cut a hole
down into that? Why, you miserable
old bald headed fool, that is where my
wife keeps the milk and butter. You
have ruined the best cellar that was
ever built, you everlasting old mullet
head, you ! Get off my premises in
stantly or I’ll kick you into a ‘relic’ for
future ages. And when you get home
send back tho things you stole out of
that cave or I’ll have the Sheriff after
you in a holy minute.”
An 01l Newspaper.
There has lately been discovered, in
the library of the University of Heid
elberg, a copy of a newspaper which
proves to be the oldest periodical of
which there is now any certain knowl
edge. It is a quarter volume bearing
the date 1609, and is supposed to have
been printed by John Garolus, of Strass
burg. The paper was issue 1 weekly—
each number consisting of two sheets.
It was mainly occupied with letters from
correspondents in adjoining States,
which were contributed regularly. It
is interesting to note that letters from
Vienna were about eight days on the
route, from Venice fourteen to seven
teen days, and from Home twenty-one
days" When the matter contained in
the letters, together with the news re
tailed at second-hand, failed to till the
sheet, tho remaining space was left
blank.'
Intelligence of every sort found a
place in the journal. Among the most
interesting occurrences noted was the
manufacture of the telescope by Gali
leo. The correspondent from Florence
writes, on September 4, to the effect
‘ that the government of Venice made
a considerable present to fcignor Gali
leo. of Florence, Professor of Mathe
matics at Padua, and increased his an
nual stipend by 100 crowns, because
with dilligcnt study he found out‘a rule
aud measure by which it is possible to
see places 30 miles distant as if they
were near and, on the other hand, near
objects to appear mujh larger than
they are before our eyes.” (We quote
from an account in the London Acad
emy.)
Tho news received from Prague af
fords a disturbed picture of plunder
and murder in the streets of the city.
It appears that at this period men and
women were daily seized by bandits,
robbed, strangled, and thrown into the
Moldau. Seven bodies wero takeu from
the water in one day ; and at another
time seven malefactors were apprehend
ed, “who confessed that, on the 18th
of this month, they threw about four
teen persons into the water, and that
their band numbered 80, who were, for
the most part, natives of Prague.”
A Mistake. —That editors are al
ways delighted to get anything to “fill
up” their paper.
That they have plenty of time to cor
iect bad manuscript.
That they should “puff” everybody i
for nothing.
That they must have no opinion of
their own.
That they should know everything
whether informed or not.
That 'hey have plenty of money.
That they should “notice” every scal
awag show that travels.
That they should have news whether
there is any or not.
That they should print every man
who attends a aog fight or horse race.
“I say, Jim, if five and a half yards
make a perch, how many will make a
pickerel?” “You just tell me first, if
two hogshead make a pipe, how many
will make a meerschaum ?”

Opeu-Uaek Shirts.
They were a sleepy lot on the four
o’clock car going down Michigan ave
nue yesterday. The day was hot, the
dust thick, and only one man, and he
beyond the prime of life, opened his
eyes as a woman crowded in, with a long
paper-box under her arm. His eyes
opened a little more as she sat down
near him, and, presently, they widened
to their fullest extent as he read the la'
bel on the box—“One dozen open back
ed shirts.” He glanced from tho box
to the female and back, and groaned :
“Land o’love! but what will come
next ?”
She looked around at him as if she
feared that a case of colic would come
next, and he brightened up a little and
said :
“Well, I’ve worn ’em for a year, and
I know they are handy and reliable.
If my daughters want to get half a doz
en apiece i shan’t cry over ft.”
‘•Were you speaking to me ?” she ask
ed, after seeing that no one else seemed
interested.
“I sorter was and sorter wasn’t,” he
replied, as he worked a faint smile to
face, “I was saying that it's wonderful
how much the inventive genius of this
country has done for us on the shirt
question,”
She hitched away a little.
“Twenty years ago,” he mused, as
lie hitched after her, “if any man had
told me that the dormant genius of this
country would soon rouse up and invent
a button-behind shirt I’d looked upon
him as crazy. But dormant genius was
all 0. K. Bhe roused, she invented,
and I’ve got one o’ them verv shirts
on ”
The look she gave him ought to have
lorn him all to pieces, but it didn’t.
‘ One yea** ago,” he calmly resumed,
“if any body had told me that the geu
tier sex would socn demand
ed shirts I’d have gone a fishing and
never returned. But the epoch has
hove in sight—she’s right here, I can
recommend them a3 boss.”
“Who are you talking to; sir ?” she
demanded in an awful voice.
“To you, madam. I was ssying that
if I wear ’em there is no reason why
you shouldn’t.”
“I appeal to these passengers !” she
excitedly exclaimed.
“So do TANARUS,” he answered “Every
body in this car, with a buttorisbehinu
shirt on, will please stand up until I can
count noses.”
The old man stood up. Ho was all
alone. He looked around in a sorrow*
ful way, and said :
“The noses have it, and the resolu
tion is laid on the table. However, I’ll
stick to mine, and I don’t believe this
woman here will go back on her dozen
till she has given ’em a fair show.—
Which sid of the neck -lo they botton
on, madam ?”
The yells that followed brought in
the driver. The old man was pointed
out as a drunkard and a woman-insuiter,
and the driver was feeling for his neck
when the astonished man cried out :
“Who’s drunk? Who’s insulted any
body
“lie kept talking about shirts !”
sereameded the woman with the box.
“And you’ve got a box full !” shout*
ed the man.
“I hain't ne !”
She turned up the box, and saw the
label for the first time. She grew red,
then white, and there was an awful si
lence. Hipping off the cover she ex
hibited a bolt of mosquito netting nes
tled away in the box. Nay, she held
it up, and even shook it at the old
man. He smiled Softly, nodded his
head a dozen times, and blandly said :
“Correct, madam—l tumble to it.—
That doesn’t look like a dozen button
behind shirts, and I’m grieved if I of
fended. Put it back, madam ; forget
that you ever saw me and wear any
kiud you are a mind to !”—Detroit
Free Press.

A till woman with a sharp nose was
raking up a yard one day last week
She had her dress tucked up, a ridicu
lous handerohief tied over her head,
and looked like a fright generally. A
cross-eyed man diessed in a suit of
light clotheß came up the struct, and no
ticing the woman, leaned over the fence
and remarked :
“How sweet is the rosy-posy.”
“Oh ! what’s that ?” exclaimed the
tall woman, looking up
“How charming appears the lovely
popsy-wopsy with its dress tucked up,”
replied the cross-eyt.d man.
“Who’re you talking to, anyway?”
said the tall woman, in great surprise,
and turning red in the face.
“My own ducky-lacky is exquisitely
transcendental with the handkerchief,”
observed the cross-'eyed man, winking
mysteriously with his straight eye
“It’s my opinion you're drunk,” ex
claimed the tall woman, in a rage;
“clear out, or I’ll call the police.”
“x\nd would my sweet cherry -blos
som set the wicked police on her own
lovey-povey ?” said the cross-eyed
man.
“Clear out, you great over-grown
wind-mill,” screamed the tall woman,
wrathfuily, “or I'll claw you with this
rake ”
“Would my pinkey-winkey claw her
darling tootsy-pootsy with a kerewel
rake?” contimred the cross-eyed man;
“I never thought—”
Here the tall woman threw dovn her
rake in a great passion, and rushed into
the house, slamming the door so hard
that it broke the knob. And the cress*
eyed man moved off, softly muttering ;
“What dreadful tempers some sweet- 1
looking women have.”
CALHOUN, GA., SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1877.
omethiug in tlie Bed.
Judge Pitman has a habit of slipping
his watch under his pillow when he
goes to bed. The other night somehow
it slipped down, and, as the Judge was
restless, it gradually worked it3 way
downward toward the foot of the bed.
After a brt, while he was lying awake,
his foot touched it, and it felt very cold.
He was surprised and scared, and,
Jumping from bed, he said :
“By gracious, Maria ! there’s a toad
or snake or something under the cov
ers. I touched it with my foot.”
Mrs. Pitman gave a loud scream, and
was out on the floor in an instant.
“Now, don’t go to holloring and wa
king up the neighbors,” said the Judge.
“You go and get me a broom or some
thing, and we’ll fix the thing mighty
quick.”
Mrs Pitman got the broom and gave
it to the Judge, with the remark that
she felt as if snakes were creeping all
up and down her legs and back.
“O, nonsense, Maria ! Now you turn
down the covers slowly, while I hold
the broom and bang it. Put a bucket
of water alongside the bed, too, so’s we
can shove it in and drown it.”
Mrs. Pi‘man fixed the bucket and
gently removed the covers. The Judge
held the broom up-lifted, and as soon
as the black ribbon of the watch was
revealed he crocked away three or four
t’mes with h's broom. Then he push
ed the thing off into the bucket. Then
they took the bucket to the light to in
vesiigate the matter. When tho Judge
c D
saw what it was, ho said :
“I might have known that. Just like
you women, to go searching and fussing
about nothing. Who's going to pay
me for that watch ? Ir’s utterly ruin
ed.”
“It was you that made the fuss, not
me,” said Mrs. P. “You needn’t try to
put tho blame on me.”
“O, hush up aud go to bed. I’m
tired of hearing you blather. Blame
me if I ain’t going to get a divorce and
emigrate.”
And the Judge turned in and growl
ed at Maria until he fell asleep. —Max

How to Tell a Gentleman.
You should never judge by appear
ance. The other day a little weazen.-
faced man, wearing a $3 50 suit ol
clothes, went to one of the big hotels,
and registering himself from Texas ask
ed for a room, and if breakfast was on
the t-ible.
The Olympian clerk gazed at him
sqoinfully fur a moment and languidly
remarked :
“Anv baggage ?”
J CD r
“No,” replied the guest
“In that ease,” said tho clerk, “the
rules of the Imuse compel me to insist
on payment in advance.”
“Very * T ell,” said the guest, without
hesitation or appearing offended, “take
two days’ board out of this,” and from
a wad of greenbacks as big as his arm
he produced a SIOO note.
“I beg pardon,” stammered the abas! -
ed clerk, “but we are so often taken in,
and your face not being familiar to me.
I—
“No offense,” cheerily answered the
guest; “business is business and rule
are rules. It does look a little odd to
be traveling without baggage, but us
cattle dealers ain’t much on the style,
and ”
“That’s'all right, Colonel,” said the
clerk. “Put up the money ; we know
a gentleman when we see him. Jim,
sh -w the gentleman to 14G. Call for the
best in the house. General.”
The old man stowed away an ample
breakfast, got the clerk to give him
small bills for a fifty, and asked where
Billy Cocibaugh, the banker, had his
office, inquired when they had dinner,
desired the clerk to tell Mr. Farwell, if
he called, that he wou’d be hack at 2
o’olock, then wont and has not been
seen since. The clerk subsequently
discovered the 850 bill to be counter
feit. The sad event has cast, a gloom
over the hotel office.
Politeness. —Many a man, rai-ed
from poverty and obscurity to wealth
and honor, can trace his n.?e to civiity;
it is sure to leproduce itself in others,
and he who is always polite wj*l fce sure
to get. nt least, as much as he gives.—
We believe it was Macauley who do*
fined politeness as benevolence in small
things The French, who arc nothing,
unless Satirical, declare politeness to be
the zero of friendship’s thermometer.
Holland is about to erect a memorial
to the late Mr. Motley, and and the me
mento is likely to be a statute at Ams
terdam, the cost of which will be de
frayed by public subscription.
