BONES OF A MASTODON-THE
LATE DISCOVERY NEAR FORT
WAYNE, INDIANA.
One of the most wonderful curiosities
of nature is now on exhibition at the
Academy of Science. As the readers of
the Times will remember, some weeks
since an account of important discoveries
in the earth of mastadon bones, was re
ceived in this city. The remains were
found about 16 miles north of Fort
Wayne, Ind , by Dr. Stimpson of the
Smithsonian Institute. The doctor,. as
sii-ted by other gentlemen, has been at
work assiduously in prosecuting the
search, and the most pleasing degree of
success has rewarded their labors. The
remains of three mastadons, a male, fe
male and calf, have been discovered in an
excellent state of preservation. Dr.
Stimpson was in the city only a few days
ago, and furnished the following lnforma
tion relative to the startlinjr discovery
An information was conveyed him not
long ago that a farmer in Huntcrdan,
Ind., had, in the cultivation of his farm,
come across, at various times, large bones,
evidently the remains of some buze mon
ster. The farmer, not being a naturalist,
of course took no notice of lhe circum
stance," other than to drive a stake in the
spot to mark it as being low and mardhy.
When Dr. Stimpson heard of the discov
ery he proceeded to the spot and obtain
ed the farmer's permission to dig. He
then began his work of discovery. Af
ter digging some five feet in the earth he
came across the huge remains imbedded
in the arth. Bone after bone was taken
nut. the skull, four feet in leneth. was
nund. and the work was carried on viir
ornnsly. The other day three team-loads
bones were tiken to Fort Wayne.
t' en-'e to b conveyed to Chicago. The
at the Academy of Sciences is a
hi: h bone, and in size it conveys some
!ea of it former owner. It is about
four feet, in lensrth and four inches in
diameter. Dr. Stimpson estimates that
the animal to which it belonged must
have been at least 17 feet in length and
15 feet in height. The remains are sup
position based by Dr. Stimpson upon the
nsual methods for determining the use
nd character of discoveries in natural
science.
The remains will form a part of the
collection of curiosities in the bureau of
the Academy of Sciences.
A TALK TO YOUNG LADIES.
It is said there is a great deal of
meaning in a handkerchief i. e, when
used for other purposes than those for!
which it was originally intended. Hand
kerchief flirtations are the latest agony ;
indeed, in the hands' of certain class.
these very useful articles are put to an
entirely different u'e than that by which
our grandmas and grandpas were wont to
value thera as a concomitant part of one's
pockets. If a young lady wishes to at
tract the attention of a gentleman ac
quaintance as she passes along the street,
out comes her dainty handkerchief a
careless flaunt of the same, and its mis
sion is performed gentleman's ponder
ous, snowy-white proboscis renovator
goes through tbe same circumlocutory
performance, to be re-enacted or not as
the parties may see fit. Apparently,
there is no harm in this simple twirling
of the handkerchief. If confined to in
timate acquaintances there may not be ;
but when youns ladies indulge in flirti
tations of this kind with entire strang
ers, the greatest amount of evil may ac
crue from it. There are many younn
ladies in Piqua who seem to think it the
acme of pleasure to thus flirt with stran
cers. No doubt they do so thoughtless
ly and without due reflection. Take our
advice and quit it, girls. It is unlady
like and bold, besides being totally at
variance with all the traits of modesty
that should characterize the deportment
of the softer sex. -
Only yesterday we observed a young
lady of respectable parentage a gradu
ate of onr publie schools returned the
handkerchief salutation of a stranger,
standing on the steps of the City Hotel.
Did the procedure give the gentleman
an exalted opinion of her character?
Not at all. On the contrary, he will
doubtless remember it as a vivid instance
of the aptness of the adage, " frailty,
thy name is woman ;" he will frivolous
ly allude to it to his companions and
probably speak in disparaging terms of
the, lady herself. We know this is true.
Then, girls, quit a practice that can not
otherwise, than brinsi reproach on your
ex and cnure people to say that yonr
parents did not train you aright. Don't
do it.

COMICAL EVASION OF AN ABSURD
LAW.
One of the most comical instances of
the triumph of routine and red-tape ov-
er the commonest common sense may be
seen daily and hourly on the Cony Island
Railroad, over on Long Island. I his is
a branch road connecting with the sever
al horse-railroads which take Greenwood
as their objective point, and this branch
conveys excursionists lrom the point of
transfer at the cemetery to the fond wel
comes of the clam compelling landlords
. i. - j t rAn. t iui
df the sands of Cony. It appears that
in some remote age the Long Island far
mers secured the passage of an Albany
law or the insertion of a provision in
some railroad charter or some other re
strictive regulation somewhere, some
how providine that all railroads within
the city limits 6hall be horse roads.
They did not, however, think to incor
porate in the Same hw a clause that the

of passcngercars drawn by a dummy lo

dollar horse gaily galloping in front so
far as the magic line which separates
the city from the country. The only
duty the sweating solitary steed has to
perform is to keep ahead of the train,
which as the cars are not permitted to
Tun more than six miles an hour at the
fastest is not so difficult for a horse,
even if he was not born and bred a racer.
Whpn the nnt-trointr cars have reached
the city line, the cheerful, champing

while at his elesant leisure. Presently

GEN. HAYES AND JUDGE THURMAN.
Ges. Hayes, in a speech at Cincinnati,
Wednesday night, said :
" Fellow-citizens. I really do not
know what the facts are in regard to the
close contest which we are now consid
ering. You have always heard as a
proverb that figures don't lie. It occurs
to me that the man who wa3 the author
of that saying could not have been fa
miliar with election returns in Ohio, or
he would have changed the proverb by
striking out tbe word 'not' and insetting
some other word so that it would read
figures often do lie. Feeling, my friends,
the uncertainty of all these things I ac
cept your congratulations with some al
lowance. However, it gives me an op
portunity of saying one or two things
that perhaps I may as well say. I say
nothing that it will bo necessary to take
back in case the result should be differ-
cnt to morrow. One of the agreeable acts
inconnection with this contest is what has
transpirediuthedebatesthroughtheState
between the distinguished gentlemen, who
was mv competitor, and myself. It has
always been my desire in all political
so to talk and so to act as to
give no just cause of offense to any roa-
sonable adversary ; and I am gratifiod to
know by the published speeches of Judgo
Thurman that ha has felt towards Hie,

A Boston religious paper proposes to
abolish tne annual boat races between
Yale and Harvard, for the reason that
they destroy good feeling between col
leges, interfere with studies, and foster
dissipation. But the same objections
might be alleged against every kind of
manly sport. W hy should young men
in college hate each other for being ri
take them to be. That boating inter
feres with study is quite true; but sup
p0Se it does? Studies ought to be in
terfered with sometimes. It is'not tho
duty of a student to thing merely of
books : he must train his body as we 1
as his brains, and mental and physical
education ought to be simultaneous. For
one young man who is made a dunce by

destroy their health with books. And

said to be fostered'.by the annual reat-

the car, looked with unconcealed disgust
at the pools of yellow and slimy juice
on the floor, then raised her dress slight

vacant sitting in the car was in a seat
occupied in part by a young man, who
at once made room for the lady by his
side. As soon as she was seated, with a
look of relief, mincleu with one of so
licitude, the lady asked her seatmate.
