A corioipondent of lho Cincinnati I fmulrer, ill describing the mound in which the loninrkablu discovery of I the gigantic skeletons weio made, says it was about 01 feel long and .'! feel wide, lop meaimicmcnt, and gently sloped down lho hill whore it vvas Hituatod. A number of stumps of trees wore found on the slope, standing in two rows, and on the top of tlio mound were an oak and a hick (ii y stump, all of which bore minks of igrontngo. All the skclelons weio I found on a level with thu hill, nnd about eight foot from the top of the mound. Xow to a moie pmticiibtr tlesciiplion of those antiipiatcd ic maius : Iu ono grave thcic were two skcle tons one male and one female The foinalo face was looking downwind, the male being immediately on top, with lho face looking upward. The limit skeleton inennitcd nine feet in I length, and lho female eight feet. i In another giave weio also found two skeletons imilo antl foinalo with the female face looking upward I and (be male face looking downwind. The male frame in this case was nine , feet four indies in length, and the ! female eight feet. In nnothet grave vvas found a fo inalo skeleton, which was incaod in a clay collin, holding in her aims the fiail skeleton of a child three feet and a half long, by the side of which was an imago, which, upon being cxpo-ed to thu atinosphuie, citimblod rapidly. The leinaining seven were found iu single graves, and lying on thoir side. Tln smallc.t of the seven was nine foot in length, and the bngest Ion. Ono single circumstance connected with tliis di-covery was the Inet that ' not a single tooth was found in cither I mouth, except in the one incased in thu clay collin. On the south end uflhc mound was erected a stono altar, four feet and a half wide and twelve feet long, built ! on an earthen foundation neatly font ' feet high, having in the middle two I l.uge Hag -tone-, upon which aorili-'ce- were undoubtedly made, for upon j thetii weio found charred bones, uin l dero and ashes.

' A Solillei-'M lti-ien-fe. Captain .Shoomaker tells this story of his fvperionco nt Libby 1'rNon, in the Philadelphia Tina: There was one among my prisoners for whom I neither had respect nor svmpatl. the notorious Dick Turner, ex-inspector of Hebol prisoner. A thorough brute wan bo -thu lit fellow for such nu inhuman mounter as Wir.. When I annulled command of thu Hichmond pri-ous there were turned over to mo complaints against Tin tier that in bulk would have heaped high n bush el basket; and when bis capture vvas cf leclcd I ordered that ho bo incar cerated in the vilest dungeon of Libby a front basement coll. Soldiois in the city, many of whom had only been leleased fiom this same priso.i by Richmond's fall, visited Libbyin num bers every day, and the main object of every visit seemed to be to seek out and insult Turner. As inspector of pri-ons he had serupled at no bao ness, ami the days of the .Spanish in-(-uistinu vveru not more black with ter rible deeds than was thu regime in Richmond. Rut not mine is it to here dwell upon his it-cord of infamous vicioiisiics. 1 soon fou id it unwise to hold him as a public curio-ity, and issued orders icfusing admission to the prison bn-ement. Rut one day I w if poi-wially sought out by n. one armed olliccr from a. Connecticut reg iment, who so etiongly urged per mission to see Dick Turner, that I for once allowed my rule to bo waived, and accompanied the visitor invelf to the Libby cellar. I culled the pris oner lo llu ftont of thu cell, mid my uiic-armed companion, advancing, de manded ' Dick Turner, do ou know mo?" " Xo." " Don't know me, eh? Have you forgotten how you had me piled with a hundred other Union boys in a cell upstair., and how you kicked me with your heavy boots iu the side when I was too -ick to get up, and how you -lashed mu over the face with an ot-whip? The scar is there yet," nlmo-t hissed the man on the outside of the grated door. "Doh't ou see it.'" The hand was raised as if to point out the long scar extending acros the forehead, but for no such purpose was the movement. A moment later a tightly clenched tint struck through the little opening full upon the eyes of the prisoner, nnd Dick Turner sprawled -cnsolt'ss upon "the lloor of his cell. Rut ho was not killed. X'evcr after would I alloTk any vis itor under any circumstances to np pioneh Dick Turner's cell. I'n any Suj Iti; oi" I'uiiiij HIcu Giiicimititl Knquirer. Leaving Mr. Carloton's stoic 1 came out in front of the Fifth Avenue- Ho tel again, and heio I met Welsh 1M waids, a well known physiog.iomy in the Xow Yoik theatrical worid. A man with a portly presence and with a splendid, rich, bass voice, n delight to the ear, as hisgood-natiued face is to the eye of 'the popular audiences who adoie him. "itliout being in any son-c a celebrity, Welsh IMwaids is a man whose services me constant ly in lcipiest in New York. Next year ho is engaged at the Madison I Square Theater, a place which I find is legaided by New York actors in the light of a piofessional Mecca.

"1 played a part in tlio piece," says IMwnrds, rolling out tlio voids in his sonorous voice, which is poifeotly distinct and delightful ovor tlio noise and clatter of tlio sheet; "when it was i'ut piodueed iu Xow York, over tboio,".-ays he, pointing, "nt thu Park Theater, I played the cross old .ludgu lonionibci?

And if they don't laugh at the end, JOd vvnrds ('I was much portlier then than I am now,' ho explains), 'shall criivvl over into thu orchestra nnd ciecp back through the narrow musicians' door." Tlio conclusion of the narrative, broken by his laughter all through, brings icnrs of mirth into the jovial Thcjii.m's eyes. 1 feel I am scarcely lesnonsive enough, though I am n great admirer of Maik Twain's writ ings ; but this story shows the advan tage of getting up u reputation of be ing a iciy funny fellow. It reminds me of an incident told me by a gentleman once of a similar eircct of humorous prestige in Arte mus Ward's case. One day a lot of 'the boys" were sitting in the bar room at the S'. X'ichol.is Hotel when "Art" came in. They clustered mound the great wag nnd greeted him rapturously. lit shook hands solemnly with all ; his eyes twinklod ; then, after a long pause, bo began to speak. Ho said : "I tin goingto Xcw-ark " One unanimous burst of laughter greeted this pugiient sally. Then came a deathlike silence, waiting for the sequel. Again the eye twinkled, and the voice eaino fitfully, spasmod ically : "I am going to Xcw-ark." As a match to a powder magazine, so this lo the risiblcs of those present. They squirmed ; they held their sides ; they wiped their eyes; they could -carcely swallow their what-will you takes for laughter. After the absorp tion of the divers beverages Artemus went toward the door. Every glance was riveted on the long, lank liguro as it moved away. Once moro the steel-blue cyo 'winkled, the thin-cut lip quivered, the metallic voice in cisely reft the air: "Good-by, boys," said Artemus; "I am going to Xew-ark." Yells of hyenas were as nothing compared. Policeman came in and threatened to arrest the loud laughers for di-surbing the peace.

"It's the rule to publish all the names of those who get drunk and aie lined. Cm't make any excep tions in your case." "That's not what I'm complaining of. I want my name in the paper ns having boon drunk; but v on got my initials wrong. I am going to run for a city ollico, nnd I wanted to uso that issue of tlio IVeies ns a campaign document.
