| Some- remarkable-' discoveries have Recording to the St. Louis Republican been lately made by a party of soieritific Explorers i _. in the neighbourhood of JVltltorf, 5 Wisconsin.- -There are in that district a number of mouads, which j-ecent archaeological "investigation has Referred to the mysterious race that inhabited the central portion of North America long before the present aborigines obtained 1 a' 1 foothold there. Selecting the largest of these -mounds, the explorers dag a trench from its bute£ e^dgejto. the-cen^tre, ss .feet ■ loog^five feet wide, and at the centre attaining a depth of 10.feeJ. About a foot from the bottom, at the deepest part joffjthe excavation^ a layer, of ashes^aod .'dedayed wood was laid bare, 1 " A x ' 7 -fiw inchef belowjthis ,waa a hard, , depprsifc;} resembljog .mortar, and beneath were found the remaiua of four adults aii r d twp children. 'I hat they belong; to the .race of mound -builders is inferred from the fact that the ra had ."previously, been exhumed, only eighteen inches beilow the surface, a ""complete Indian Skeleton. The other and vastly more important relics were eight and a half jfeet lower dowc. The first of these, ia skeleton of. a raan^ jay Wjti| tli| lead totne west in a reclining 'posi'tibnT' At the knees, near each, hand, were two ornaments, ofpioapoaed: of ihe" teeth of come wild animal, about four inches :loDg, and having holes, bored through ■for the siring which attached them to ithe^, wriste. Close by was the skull, | but so badly decayed as to prevent ■removal. A little to the south of the |Bkull were four perfect fl nt arrow- ; heads, as cleanly cut as if the work had J been done by the best modern machinery. : Lying around and under the shoulders ! were twenty-nine beads, manufactured fiom small shells, and perforated so as to be worn as a necklace. Evidently this/ wop the eke^etoa , of i- somei distinguished perßonagp^; : for among the bones of the five others no ornaments whatever were found. ■ The -chic(!« ! companions were arranged abbul; binii ' to the west', north-west, and east. The first mistake which is made by most. men is making, wealth: the object ot their Jives. Vißiit wealth, aa we know, doea.not give bapptnnesa. ; .-.'The vYao.- --! derbilts, the Stewarts, and the Astors have not been our happiest men; They are not typical men in the home ; they are not the typical men in social life; they are not the typical men in the de liii'hts of. |ife, or in the progression of leaming r which perhaps, 1 ' yields the finest joys men, can know. .

Ifc ■ ieT not great proof of ability nor evidence ■ of suoce's's fdr'a men to gel "wealth in > tnis country and tbiß age. Ngw, then, i it eeems to us that if a young man ■ should pibture to himself rather a quiet : house, "sunnily placed 1 oh?; ; iome hillside, \ with, a 'stretch of. r meadow ,' io. front, '■ through which, courses ■; a running stream, shaded, by;.pleasaut; trees, with . a losing ! wiie, a group of pleasant- faced : and sinuous children, quietude of days and .peaceful. ofj nights, b:ealth,and concontented of mind, that would be much better than to. set.: up a_fietitiojs standard, and strive. .incessantly for it as; though you must reach itor be utterly | undone.— Muiray. ' ' i See and Sea.— The husband of a. pious; woman.having occasion" to make a voyage, ! his wife sent a. written request to the parsqn of the parish, whic'i, inte.ad of spelling and pointing prperly, she spelled and pointed, as , follows :-" A person having gone to see his wife, desires the prayers of the congregation." ; The parson, who had not examined the contents.of the paper, gave it out accordingly., The closing of public ho.uses on Sunday in Ballarat caused a tremendous, run on " single bottles," for Sunday use, at many of* the hotels on Saturday night. Jugs, demijohns,! and all kiuds of vessels ; were put in requisi- ■ tion for beer at the " pubs," says the Courier, ' while.. square, gin, ciheap whiskey,, and unknown compounds, styled by courtesy brandy, ' commanded ; sale at the grocers' establishments;. .Qne.grpcer was, heard to declare to : a frieojd, also iv tU.e. trade, that the Sunday! clause, was a. real blessing to him, inasmuch f as ou three Saturdays he had ; cleared,out his! entire, stock ..of third-rate, "stuff,'.' whichuudex ordinary circumstances b^e. had been quite unable to get rid of at any price.
