A GIANT’S GKAVF-YAIUD, j A Komarktible -Story from Canada -Two Hunt I Pf*,l Huge Skeletons IMseoveretl. —- —k*??— On Wednesday last. ltev. Nathaniel Wardell, Messrs. Orih Wafiell (.of To ronto), and Daniel Fredinburgh, were digging on the farm of the latter gen tleman, which is on the banks of the (irand river, in the township of Cayu ga: When they got to five or s)x fdet below the surface a strange sight met them. 1 filed in layers, one upon top of the other, were some two hundred skel etons of human beings, nearly perfect, around the neck of each one being a string of beads. There ivere also de posited in this pit a number of axes, and skimmers made of stone. In the jaws of several of the skeletons were large stone pipes, one of which Mr. O. Wardell took with him to Toronto a day or two after this golgotha was uti earthed. These skeletons are those of men of gigantic stature, some of them measur ing nine feet, very few of them being less than seven feet. Some of the thigh bones were found to be at least half a fi ot longer thaii those at present known, and one of the skulls completely covered the head of an ordinary person. These skeletons are supposed to belong to tiiose of a rare race of people anterior to the Indians. Some three years ago the b ric3 of a mastodon were found embed ded in the earth about six miles from this spot. The pit and its ghastly occu pants are now open to the view of any who may wfi^'h 1 to make a visit there. Tnefe is riol the slightest doubt that the remains of a lost city are oh this farm. At various times within the past year the remains of mud houses, with their chimneys had been found ; and there are dozens of pits of a similar kind to that just unearthed, though much Smaller, in the place which has been discovered before, though the fact h s not been made public hitherto.— The remains of a blacksmith’s shop, con taining two tons of charcoal and various implements, w r ere turned up a few months ago. The farm, which consists of 150 acres, has been cultiratqd for nearly a eentury, and was covered with a thick growth of pine, so that it must have been years ago that the remains were deposited there, the skulls of the skel etons are of an enormous size, affd of all manner of shapes* about htflfa&farge again as are now to be seen. The teeth in most of them ate Still in ah almost perfect state of preservation, though they soon 101 l out when exposed to the air. It is supposed that there is gold or silver in large quantities to be found in the premises, as mineral rods have in variably, when tested, pointed to a cer tain spot and a few yards from where the last batch of skeletons was found directly under the apple tree. Some large shells, supposed to have been used for holding water, which Avere also found ttf fh’e pit, vvefe almost pet rified. A good deal of excitement ex ists ig,the neighborhood, and many vis itors xgdl at the farm d’aily. The skulls and bones of life giants’ are fast disap pearing, being taken away by the curi osity hunters. It is the intention of Mr. Fred in burg to cover up the pit very soog. pit is ghastly in the ex treme. The,farm is skirted on'the north by the’ Ora Xf river. From the appearance of the skulls it would seem that their possessors died a violent death, as many of them were broken and dinted. The axes are shaped like tomahawks, small, Pot k£ep' ; instru ments. The heads are of stohe and of all sizes aft’d shfapfejs. The pipes arc not unlike in shape the cutty pipe, and sev eral of them are engraved with dog’s heads. Shey have not lost their virtue for smokipg.. Some people profess to believe at the locality of Dreadinburg farm was formerly an Indian burial-place, but the enormous stature of the skele tons and the fact that pine-trees of cen turies grovftn Covered the spot go far to disprove this idea. — Cayuga Cor. To ronto Telegraph. No Ku-Klux in South Carolina. Charleston, §ept. i. — Twenty-six of the most prominent citizens of Spar tanburg county, including the United States Coinqqrisssioner, the United States Assessor, the Probate,, Judge, thfc Sher iff, the clerks of the court, and the county representatives in both branches of the Legislature, publish, over their signatures, the following letter : “Sr ART AN BUIIO, S. CJ. ; Sept. 4. If on. John ScCtt, Chairman Ku Khix Com m ittec: “ We the undersigned citizens of said State and county having seen through the newspapers that you had received statements and affidavits that outrages upon various citizens had been commit ted in this county since the committee of which you are chairman left the said county, and that you had thereupon re commended the proclamation of martial law in this county, feel constrained to make the following statement: “We have made diligent inquiry and have been Treble to hear of a single outrage having been committed in’ thnF tfbnmf shree your committee left it. On the contrary the county is in a state of pro found peace aud quiet.” The Spartan, a country in publishing the above says : “ This statement ought to be sufficient to prove to the mind of Senator Scott that lie has been imposed upon by the communications aiyjl affida vits upon which he founds his state ments made to the President, aud his recommendation that martial law be de clared in the county. Furthermore, we learn that leading Radicals here admit that no outrage occurred in Spartan burg since the Ku-Klux Committee were here CALHOUN, GA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1871, RATTLESNAKES. A Horritile i*la#thinj£; The Lynchburg Republican publishes the following “ snake stories,” and says they can be substantiated by, indisputa ble testimony. They are only some of the trifling experiences of the moun taineers with the rattlesnakes : “There are in the Blue Ridge, two distinct spebies—the yellow and tfip black. The yellow was formerly sup posed to be the male, and the black the female; but the fallacy of that opinion is demonstrated by the fact that in many localities only one of these kinds is evet seen, and also by ttie great difference in size at?d form—the yellow being vety thick and snort, and the black long and slender. But both of these species are beautifully ornamented with flowers, which in the sunlight tlie Mot& of the tdiriVow. r Tne yellow snake is much less liable to rattle than the black, and therefore most to bddread ed ; thongh no dependence need be plac ed in either, as it depends altogether up* on the caprice of the moment when they retreat, advance, rattle, or ‘ play possum.’ The partiality of this snake for the company, of children has been frequently noticed among tlie ni'odhtam eers, one instance of which is familiar to some of our Bedford readers. A few years ago, a farmer whose cabin stood in one of the wildest localities about the mountains, on coming iffto the house one day, discovered his little daughter, two years old, sitting up in bed, where she had been placed by her mother while asleep. The child was laughing immod erately, and showing by its every action and expression of countenance that it was greatly pleased. The father ap proached, when to his horror, he dis covered that an enormous yelloft rattle snake, the largest he had ever seen, was in bed with the child, and actually coil ed around her body. llis presence in stantly wrought a change in the conduct of the snake, which dextrously uncoiled itself from around the chiWl and assumed an attitude of battle. The mountain eer’s rifle hung upon a rack over the door ‘ he grasped it in his hand with feelings which cannot be described, and awaited an opportunity to shoot. He had no sooner done so than the snake commenced caressing the child by rub bing its head fondly against her cheek, and darting its forked tongue almost in her eyes. Then he would raise his tail and rattle so rapidly as to make one con tinued sound, at which the child was greatly aelighteX But upon' the least movement on the part of tlie almost dis tracted parent, the snake w*ould change the tone of his rattling, and swell to al most twice his natural size. During all this tune the child tightly grasped the snake with her ehubby little hands, and jerked fttfd him aboFt in a very rude and unceremonious manner, laugh ing and talking to her horrible plaything in a perfect ecstacy of delight. This state of things was finally ended by a movement of the parent, which so en raged the stVake .that he, drew himself up into a tight coil, leaped out of bed, and would have buried his fangs in the farmer’s face, had he not quickly dodged to one side. As it was, the serpent went over his shoulder and out at the door, where it renewed the signal for battle, but was quickly stretched out stiff in death by a shot from the rifle. The child cried immoderately for her pretty plaything, and if set down in afty part of the yard, would immediately toddle toward the dead reptile. ■» , The Merchant Who does not Ad vertise. The merchant who does not advertise is cfblinguished very easily by his care worn and dejected countenance. He is grasping—holds fast to what he has, and is* afraid to venture. He is* ally selfish, and looks upon all custom ers with distrust. The miserly eager ness with which he clutches the pay for his goods creates an’ antipathy for him in tl y e nfr’rfds of mF r’afSorrs, and they generally leave him. His store is any thing but inviting, as the goods are not displayed at all, and a bleak appearance of the walls is the consequence. He generally has dry goodF, groceries, hard ware, etc., all jumbled up togeche’f. At night he lights store , with thp poor est quality of candles, which shed a pale glimmer over his goods, giving them an old and dusty look. At his store you will be certain to find mean whisky, soft soap, damaged dry goods and groceries— all last year’s fashions, etc. He seldom gives anything for public improvement or charitable purposes, and measures mankind generally in his own half bush el. Such a man never helps to build railroads, steamboats, telegraph lines, or anything of the kind. If the balance of mankind were like him. stage coaches would be the only conveyances. Where greaf cities now stand, a few double-pen log-houses and a bar-room would be in stead. Colleges and school;! wotrid never have been thought of, and blissful igno rance would.now reign supreme. He is never posted on the fopics of the day, nor is he irvfo T 'nted’ in regard to com mercial affairs, because he shuts him self off" from that source of information by discouteoancing the press, the only means through which it can be attained. And when he dies, he is not generally lamented. —Newspaper Reporter. A Masonic apron, made by Mad | auie Lafayette, and sent over to this country as a present to Gen.

Avarice, Luxury and Fraud. , The itiiri sacra fames —the accursed thirst for gold—continues to abound all over the country. Official corruption lies at the root of these itffholy Jesires; and all our ambition, labor, and ai jita tiqn to be to get it in the easi est and quickest way. The age has be come extravagant almost beyond prece dent in this comparatively new world of of ours. Would it not wholesome for all men to look first at home for the cause of all this folly and ex travagance, and for very much of the official corruption alleged, and no doubt, existing ijn the State and country t How many people !Hc beyond their re al means, and how many clean up to them, leaving not a dollar for a sick or rainy day those who make the mistake of so living, even when they can help it. How many run in debt, how many make inroads upon their capital, how many live from hand to mouth. The courts tell us of men now bankrupt in fortune who were once rich, and theex perieqee and confession of nearly every such person would be iChe errors of his life. We see thousands once ricn ailifcg as clerks—some of them almost beggars from door to door—some of them real beggars, and inmates of the poor-house and in nine eases out of ten the cause of this preset poverty was original av arice, followed by great luxury. We are partly passing from this stage of personal acquisitiveness and expendi ture to the use of other people’s money, which is one of the worst vices cf the uge. Corporations abound. They are made up of Stockholders, then of Boards of Directors or Trustees then of Presi dent, Vice-President, Secretary and ex ecutive Committees. J)o all these gen tlemen administer their trust with due economy? Do they indulge in little, and even great luxuries, and charge many of their personal comforts and ap petites to the geneiftl expenses ? We hear of such things, and it is for* those in official positions to answer whether they are true or not. Certain \yc fire the old time economy and the old time scrupulousness of personal and associated expenditures have passed away. Peo ple.are most willing to spend other peo ple’s mofiey, and the habit ruU3 into private corporations, and into all softs of agencies. It is too common among clerks in trust, and too common every where with those in authority. Goods of all kinds are sold short in weight, by connivance of principals and seconds, and this is as much stealing or plunder a? any other fraud. The cotton men, the coal sellers, the dealers in grains and groceries, the middle-men all more or less cheat their customers. There false weights and false measures, as well as shrinkage, and other evidences of foul play. The root of all this baneful fruit is the love of luxury, dissipation, idleness, dress and snow. This? wakes officials corrupt, merchants bankrupt, thousands of wives and sons and daugh ters sfiame, and creatures of fashionable folly. They sap the life blood from old time integrity, and lead the nation in the way of old Rome in the palmy days of the Patricians. What is needed is simplicity of living and simplicity of life, in the Government, i‘h tFe 4 Sta£e, in the City, in the Church', iiti the fam ily, and in the hearts of fne whole peo pie. Whoever beckons this way points the road to not only a'better but a hap pier existence.—A. Y. Express. -V -< -» ► - Myopy, or Near-Sightedness. Near-sighted people do not commonly get the sympathy they deserve. This is partly becatfSe their defect is not so readily noticed as some others, and part ly because other people do not know how to appreciate its degree no* its em barrassment In early years they are sometimes subjected to harsh discipline for supposed delinquencies growing en tirely out of this difficulty before it is recognized. A lad of my acquaintance was often punished for such things as failing to catch the h’oi*Se, saying it tvas plainly risible to tlie paternal eye. These people also lack many means of culture, as this same individual said in later years, “ I could , dot seem to see beauties in the landsdupe which others admired. As for the stars which they glorified I saw but an indistinct glim mer. It was only in after years, when glasses were jut into my hands, that my eyes were opened to many possibili ties of culture which my boyhood had lost.” And yet the difficulty in his case was so slight that the cause of it waF riot discovered until he was well ad vanced in his teens. Many of those more near-sighted than Lc can never have, the defect made upXo them by any artificial means. Besides being more liable to accidents of various sorts, near-sighted persons are often thought dull or stupid because their eyes fall expressionless on: those of their interlocutor, or because they stum ble over things in their \va}-; or haughty because they fail to recognize acquaint ances in a company, or on the street. Public speakers with this defect fail to get the inspiration which others find in reading the countenances of their head ers. Ladies get the name of being slovenly or untidy housekeepers because they see soiled or torn places, cobwebs, dusty cornices, and articles out of plrme. I have known them even called dishß est, because they have failed to recog nize readily the difference between their own gloves and handkerchiefs and those of another, or rirde tedajpse.they applied their eye glasses to strangeAi, or because to get any possible idea of them they had to scan them very closely, liy.shprt, whenever we see any idiosyireYnSv in’the general bearing of another, fit Is well-to withhold our judgment of them until we arc pretty certain that they can sec as far as other people.— Home ami Health. A Ghost _ Story. We do not give credence to ghost sto ries, but the following, appears so intrin sically reasonable, that we cannot for a moment doubt it* truth. That appari tions do not always wander without suf ficient Satfse, is proved by the fact well attested which we give be’ot*. “ Last Tuesday as Mrs. , a lady of literary taste and studious habits sat leading in her drawing room, the clock on the mantle-piece struck twelve ; as the vast stroke reverberated through the apartment the door flung wjde open ; ia the act of raising her Hear!, to repel ttyp intrusion (unrung for) of her servant, her eyes rested on the form of her late husband. She screamed and fell sense less on the carpet. This brought up such members of the family as had not retired to rest; restoratives were ad ministered, arid when Mrs. 4 re gained her suspended faculties, and be ing a woman of strong mind and highly cultivated intellect, she felt disposed to consider the whole distress she had un dergone as the result of certain associa tions between the melancholy tale she Had been pursuing and her late loss, op erating upon a partially deranged ner vous system. She, however, considered it advisable that her maid servant should repose in her chamber lest any return of what she considered a rjerrous affec tion should distress lidVself an a alatth the family. Last Tuesday night, feel ing stronger and in better spirits than she had been for some months past, Mrs. dispensed with the presence of her attendant, retiring alone to her Cham ber, and went to bed a little before ten o’clock. Exactly as the clock struck twelve, she was awakened from her sleep, and distinctly beheld the apparition she had seen before, advancing from the ta ble, (on which stood her night lamp) till it stood opposite to and drew the cur tains of her bed. She described her very blood retreating with icy chilliness to her heart from every vein. The ,eou,n tenance of her Felovedui life vtore not its benevolent aspect; the eyes beaming with affection were now fixed with stern' regard on the trembling half dissolved being, who, with the courage of desper ation, thus adjured him: “Charles! dear Chttlc?! ITh'J are you come again /” “Jessie!” slowly and solemnly gasped the shadowy form, waving in his hand a small paper, “ Jessie, pay my my news paper accounts, and let me felt in peach'!” Emotional Insanity.—A day or two since an Elyria girl of seventeen summers arrived in this city to visit some triends. A friendly chat followed t'fee hearty welcome she received, and in the evening three gerffTemeft visitors tapped at the door, were received aft’d aat down in the parlor. They were no sooner seated than the Elyria girl ap proached and kissed them, and then walked about the room, showing the same favor to all the gentlemen present. This done she confounded the already surprised company by bounding into the yard with a hearty laugh and “ smack ing ” her lips against the gardener’s, and then stalking into the street to see who she could next devour with her kisses. The friends of Miss Elyria at last be came alarmed and insisted that she should accompany them into the house. She did so, and to aW the questions put about her strange conduct answered with a wild ringing laugh and endearing ca resses. The visitors, seeing that insan ity was at the bottom of the most ad mired disorder that had disturbed the good cheer of the evening, stood not u’porf tfl?e order of leaving, but left at once. The yotfrrg lady was left alone for the evening, and the amazed family next morning tound that she knew noth ing of what had transpired. Her con duct was debited to her and she was entirely ignorant of it all. This was a clear case of emotional insanity.— Cleve land Leader. A Universalist minister, troubled with dyspepsia, usually found relief by the free use of cayenne pepper as a table condiment. Traveling West, and fear ing that he might not find the article there, be took a supply wish him. A Western man, observing him use it, said: “Stranger! I’m kinder curus about that ’ere red salt of yourn. I’d like to try it.” He was tola that he was welcome, but that he must be careful if he was not accustomed to it, as it was very power ful. Hut he “could swallow chain light ning,” or some other Western impossi bility. and he peppered his food so free ly that he was half strangled, and ev erv one arose to his assistance.
