I-e, the well-known frnil grower of Tacoma, give the p:uf ti'ii lar of a wonderful discovery of bones of extinct unheals in Washington Ter ritory, which will attract the attention of the students of natural history ami arclueology all over th world. In a letter from -Spokane Kail ha says: The face of the whole Territory shows niinilstakalile, evidence of great vol canic upheavals. On my trip through Spokano Couritv I stopped at Latah, ami in conversation with Mr. Coplen, of that place, regarding tlie volcanic formation of that section, hu informed me that ho had examined some largo bono of great antiquity Accom panied by Mr. Coplen I went to the spring where tho relics were dug out It is located on a low atrip of springy prairie. The excavation around the spring is twclvo or fifteen' cet deep, and thirty or forty fus t across. The bones wero covered by several dictiuct layers. The first layer was ancient peat, then gravel, then volcanic ashen, then a layer of ooarsu peat. From this spring wero taken no loss than nine mammoths. r elephants, of different sixes, the remains of a cav bear, and hyenas, extinct birdd antl a son turtle. Mr. Coplen kindly pre sented mo with sonio Sx.oiiiioiiH of these relius. The diimmsiotis of some of tho bono of thu larger mammoths wero wonderful to look at. Tlio horns were a sort of tusk, and protruded from die head, By dropping tlie head in tho net of footling the circle of the horns that exteiubtd below tlie jaws rented on the ground, giving support to tlie hond, viU'u-h is estimated to have weighed a Urn. The horns were worn nway scroral inchc dH'i at the Ix.ttom of the turn or half circle, indicating constant use by rubbing on tlie ground or rocks. One of thHO horns was ton foot and una inch long uml twenty-four inches in circumference. It weighed 145 ixiunils. One of the tusks mcvui'cl twelve feet uud nine inches in length and twonty Sevon inches round. It weighed 295 pounds. Tint jaw weighod sixty-three pouiMtri.

T NICHOLAS ALLEN. ,y Grant is in business In New York and that tho family iuo living there. Jess Grant is in San Kranoisco, and Ulysses is attending to the intents of Ids wife's estate in Mexico. I .asked him ns to how Grant felt when he gave his relics over to tho Government. Ho replied that tho General was very well pleased that tho Government could get them. Genera! Grant said he felt that they ought to bo kept together, and if they were divided among his family they would bo scattered. "There was dan. ger at tho time," said Harrison," that tho creditors of Grant & Ward might take them, and I remember well when I had Jiuiblied packing them, and told him that they wero all ready for ship ping, how much relieved he looked, and liow ho Raid, "I am very glad of it" "lint the taking nway of those relies," said Harrison, "made little difference in tho looks of Grant's house. Tho rooms wero only bare for a day or two. After that they wero tilled with thing fully ns curious, and somo almost as valuahlc, I don't suppose any man ever received as many presents iw General Grant. He did not know what he had. There were boxes upon boxes of rare and curious things stored away which had been shipped from Euroie during his tour, and somo of which had never been unpacked. A great many things had been put away beoauso lie had not room for them, and these had boon for- trotten. They were brought out after tlie relics were sent to Washington, and I thought tlie houso looked really bettor than ever. "When did General Grant first realise tho fact of his approaching death?" "It was at Dr. Douglas' ollice in New York, lie was alone with Dr. Douglas and myself. Grant biid jut had an examination of his throat, and he asked Dr. Douglas, if he onuld usmire him that his trouble would not develop into a ouncor. Douglas told him that he could not nsouro him of this fact, but that he hoped. he miglrt be ablo to cure him. General Grant tlien s:iiik 'If you think thus, Dr. Douglas, there is hope for me.' Soon Hftor this Grant's carriage came and we wovit away. As we drove off he told me not to sskt any thing to the fiunily as to what Dr. Douglas had said. Throughout hi whole sickness General Grant's f.-unily never knew how much pain he sull'civd. From the timo of his sic-kiiens till his death I was not two hours tihsout from him. Many nights ho would walk the floor all nighL When tho family would ask him in the morn iny 1kw he had rested lus would say 'pretty well' and would try U appear choorf uL Ho IiimI tlie most terrible pain all the time, ami I don't think he had a moment's otsiitiu from pain during' tliooe ItHt months. Ho felt greatly re lieved wImmi ho Iwvl liuisliiHl his Unik, nnd his hupist days were thone jnst before his death. During his whole sickiKw ho never grew irritoble or lost his temper. Ho was the kindest man I ever knew, and he hal a great love for his family. Mrs. Grant called him Ulys ses and she was very fond of him. 1I always called her Mrs, Grant, and he was certainly one of tlie best of hus bauds."

No ono can have a notion of what other people end through tho mails until ho looks over tlio inventory of articles to bo sold at the Dead-Letter Oilico sale. There is something humor ously absurd In the idea of dropping a sewing machine in a letter Io.x. It suggests mailing a saw-mil!, a steam ngino or a yoke of steers. 1 et sewing machines do find their way to tho Dead Letter Office. Many curious socrcts are unfolded in the Dcad-Lettor Office and thero are reasons why tho owners never come to claim proKH-ty. Thero stands among the other "dead letters ' a pair of num ber six "ladies' shoes." What an afflic tion for any lady to lay claim to! Tho lady thanks fortuno that her name was not on the package, and allows them to lie sold at auction.

Y. ktar. OF HANDWRITING, Kipert Who Occupation U Motljr For nUhrd bv Annnymuu CorrenpoiiilmiU. Thoso who roiwl character by liand- writing, and still more thoso who pro fess to be experts iu handwriting, havr most of their ixvnpatlou found them by writers of anonymous letters. No doubt thero hud lxx:n a good deal of unreality and errors in tlio conclusions of exx:rts, so much so that no opinion of this sor ought to bo received In a court unliw there is abundance of corndxirative evi dence. As a rule, every anonymous letter which is not at onoo consigned to tho flames or waste-paper basket un dergix'S a rigid .scrutiny of tho hand writing. Unless a person is an exxrt, tho opinions given on tlm subject of handwriting are often Bimply ridiculous. I showed a letter ono day to a lady who was thought to bo a great authority on such matters. She loaded tho hand writing with every sHeios of abuse. It was the writingof a bad tempered man, of a stupid man, of au ignorant man; there could bo no relieving feature whatever iu such handwriting as that. "And now, madame." I said, -will yon look at tlie signature?" It was the sig nature of M:tcaulay. S: if you wish to obtain an opinion worth having respect ing tho ownership of handwriting, it is far b.wtfor you to obtain a skilled opinion, ion are not onugoa to believe tho exjK'ils, any mora than if you are upon a jury, and it becomes peculiarly (lilucult to believe when two experts are swearing hard against ono another. Nevertheless, if the opinion of an ex pert will not help you, there is no opin ion on which you can safely go, very remarkable case of ldentilication of handwriting corny to my knowledge some time ago. A gentleman h;id of fered a very large sum of money for tlw discovery of a marriage register, the production of which was highly necess ary in a heavy litigation. A clergyman rrom tlio country wroto to say that the missing register had turned up in the vestry Ixix of his own parish. A solid tor and a well known expert were sent down to examine the (bx-umcnt. The clergyman showed them tlie marriage register, and after a protracted exam ination they all went to lunch. Then an opinion decidedly unfavorable to tin genuineness of the document was de livered by tho expert in handwriting. It was quite modern handwriting and did not. po-wos t!ie comparative antiqui ty claimed for it, "Tnen how in the world did it get there?" nkol the vicar. The oxi)rt had diligently examined the vicar's Ikuxlwriting in his own note, and saM quietly, "Why, yon forged it yourself." The unhappy parson, Ixdng threatened with highly penal conse quences, fled tlx) country. I am sorry to say any thing against" tiie cloth, but many of my re-ulers will recognize this as a true story. Tins moral is, that if it is really necessary to trace and expose an anonymous communication, you had better use the best available means tor doing so. Lmdon SwH;. THE DEADLY ..., Vlrtl an thf,.H...
