Remains of Indian mounds Discovered In Alabama. Professor N. T. Lupton, of the Southern University, Greenboro', Ala., at the request of Trofessor Henry, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, has recently made au examination of some of the most interest -ing Indian mounds in Alabama. These mounds, he says, are found at frequent inter vals for a hundred miles or more along the river. Near the small village of Carthage is a collection of more than 20. These are trauncated, rectangular pyramids, averaging about 20 feet in height. As the field has been cultivated for many years, some of them have been ploughed down nearly to the common level, while one towers over 40 feet, and is covered with a luxurious growth of forest trees, one of which measures nearly three feet in diameter. One of these mounds Professor Lupton opened, by digging a well eight feet square into it perpendicularly from the top. At a depth of three feet, por tions of two skeletons were found, with their heads towards the east. The teeth only were in a good state of preservation; the re maining bones nearly all crumbled on being handled. At the depth of about eight feet the remains of three or more skeletons were found similar to the first. The bottom portion of a vase was here found, which, on being removed, disclosed a circular opening about one foot in diameter. around the sides of which were the charred remains of wood, showing that a stake or wooden pillar once occupied this opening. About a foot froiu tho bottom of this open ing, at the depth of 1G feet from the surface, the remains of several skeletons were discov ered, with the teeth and some other bones in a fine state of preservation. A large quantity of ashes and some charcoal, with one pieceVf charred bone, were found around this open. ing. Only a few stone implements were found what appeared to be beads crumbled to powder when handled. Mussel shells were occasionally met with while digging, also charcoal, pieces of mica, and pottery. The fact was clearly established that this is a burial mound, and the conclusion is drawn that a stake or pillar was oricinallv nlanr.rl over the grave of several personages of dis tinction and victims burned thereat. A sin culaily carved ornament of wood was ob tained, which is supposed to have formed the top of the stake. It is apparently covered with paint, which aocounts for its preserva tion. California nt u II ubl tabic Coiia- The Alta California, of San Franoisoo. prints the following, in response to a letter of inquiry from Chicago: "Of the climate we can say, briefly, that orange and fig trees bear fruit and rose bushes bear flowers in every month of the year, in the open air; we have no snow or ice; our summers are so cool that we wear no thin clothing in San Franoisoo, and we have no 'dreary rains;' that is, not drearier than those of Chicago, for the driest season there is as wet as our wettest, and from May to November our skies are cloudless, or at least rainless. "Livins is dearer here than in Chicago, The ordinary charge for beard and lodging in private families for poor people is from ifciw to $3.1 per mouth, and for those who are in comfortable circumstancos from $.'15 to ft 75. Hoarding alone at some of our best hotels is $12 per week. Nice houses, with from five to eight rooms, in retired streets, nnt for $:i0 er fW j-ei wviitii. Im fi9 2'te ill fta? Francisco, nr in it known on the coast within thirty miles of . the ocean, nor in the Sierra Nevada, 1500 feet above the sea, or higher; but in the Sacramento baHin, at some points within 800 feet of the sea, it is common. "We use greenbacks here when we can got them. Large quantities change hands every day in all parts of the Stato. They are used in paying off about three thousand mon in the service of the National Government, in paying income tax, and occasionally in ordi nary private business. They have a recog nized value, with which our people are familiar. We are not in the habit of throwing them into the waste-paper basket. If a man wants to buy anything with greenbacks, he need not have any trouble in San Frano sco. But our common currency is gold, and when we Bay 'dollar,' we mean a gold dollar." MARINE TELEGRAPH.
