(‘ Il is a hotel and reslaurunt iu Picca* .dilly.’] • How long were you at Francatolli's ?' >asked the coroner. , • I reallj can not tell. My horse had been running at Ascot, and losing. I wassuinewbat excited. I may have gone into I Francatelli's at eight, nud gone out again < between nine and ten.'‘ And from Frau cate lli's you wont to I your hotel?’ , • No,' said Gilbert, fooling that there was 1a hiatus of a coupie of hours there. *1 went into the Haymarket Theatre for an hour i.r two.’• If this fellow asks mo what I saw there, I’m done for, he thougut; but happily the coroner was not so much on the alert as topul that question. • Have you any idea what brought the deceased to your house last night, whenyou wore known to bo absent ?’ • I have a very clear idea.* • Bo kind enough to toll us all you cnn.’• Coming from the statiou thia mornins by n foot-path through the park, the way by which the deceased always camo to myhouse when lie did not drive from the sta­ tion, I found a letter which it seems to mo that ho must have dropped there last night.’• You found a letter dropped by the de­ ceased in Davenant Park ?'• I found this letter addressed to Mr. Wyatt, which I conclude must havo been dropped by him Iasi n ght.*Gilbert handed the coroner Melanie's letter, which bud now assumed a crumpled and dilapidated apnearnnee, ns of a letterthat had lain all night iu the dew and dirt of the foot-path nndcr the trees. The coroner p'iz.zled through llio letter,reading it aloud, with various mistakes and pullings up and tryings back, the jury list­ ening open-mouthed.‘ This clearly indicates Hint Mr. Wyatt came here by appointment,* remarked the kroner, sagoly. ‘Who is this MelanieDuport ?’ ' My wife's maid.' ■ Whv has she not been called ?'It wns explained to the coroner that Mclnnio Duport was missing. After this, the jury having duly viewedthe body, or, al any rale, made believe to ' view it, the inquest was adjourned to givei (be local police time to make their inveiti- 1 gallons, though what they were to invest!-' gate seemed a somewhat puzzling ques­tion. ■ niey'll bring some London detectives, ■ who will look into my room, see those1 guns, and then put two and two together,' thought Gilbert. ‘I don't suppose my alibi ■ would I o d water at the nssizes. A juryr would wvnl some independent evidence to r sustain my account oi my time between ■ seven o'clock and midnight yesterday.* length along. No new evidence wee elicit- I ed to make tbe case stronger sgriost Gil- 1bert Sinclair. The fact of his departure ( remained tbe ous damning fact against j Thera was also tho fact of Melanie Da- port’* disappearauce on tbe morning of tbe <murder, and opiniona were divided as to 1 which of these two won guilty, or whether ’both had not boon concerned in the act. iThe uewspapere made much capital out | of an evout which soon became known asThe Davonant Mystery, and Constance ; Sinclair bad the horror of knowing that she i wee tho object of a morbid interest in tbetniud* of the nation nt large. She left Davonant almost immediately after her busbaud, and took up her abode at March­brook, with Martha Briggs and the little girl for her only companions, until tbe arrival of Lord Clanyarde from tbe Contin­ent. Thu inquiry before the coroner ended at last in an open verdict. The deceased hadbecu shot by some person or persons un­ known. Davonant was formally taken possessionof upon Midsummer-day, not by Sir Cyp­ rian Dsvonaut, but by bin lawyer, who in­ stalled some of the old family servants aseare-taker*. Sir Cyprian had left England, a few days before James Wyatt's death, on bis long-talked-of African expedition.Tbe year wore round, and the horror of James Wystl’s unexplained death fadedout of tha national mind, as all such hor­ rors do fade when tho newspapers leave off writing abont them. Constance livedher quiet life st Marcbbrook -as she badlived at Daveunnt, happy with her child, yet mindful, with a shuddering pity, ofthat friendless wanderer doomed to bear the brand of Cain. Christman came and passed, and for nearly a year she had re- moined in ignorance of her husband's fate.Then came a letter, in a strango hand, but signed by Gilbert Sinclair : • Dear Constance,—I am down with that malignant fever common to this partof the world, and generally fatal. Before I die I should like to ask you to forgive me for all tho pain my jealousy gave you indays gone by, and to tell you that I now be- Leva that jealousy to have been causeless. It was what the thieves call a ‘put-up’ busi­ness, and Wyatt was the Iago. Ho set a trap for me, and got snared himself io the end.‘ I want to tell yon something else, which may perhaps distress you, but that is nofault of iniue. The child you are so fond of is not your owu. Foor little Christabel was really drowned, and the little girl brought to Davcuant while you were ill isa child adopted for tbe purpose of bringing about yonr recovery. This plan was sug­ gested to me by your father. He knowsall about iL ‘ I have made my will, and eent it o my London lawyers. I leave you everything. So, if matter* go well in tbe north, y?u will bo a very rich woman. I wasteda good deal of money on tbe Newmarketstable ; but, with yonr quiet life, you will sooo recover lost ground. Of course youwill marry C.D. Well,I can’t help that. I ought never to have trusted tnyiclf be­ tween you and your first love. Nothing but misery han come of onr marriage.‘ God blew you, and give you a happier life than you would ever have spent with me.‘ Your dying linsbsnd,• Gilbert Sinhlair.‘ P. S.—It I go, the man who writes this, Thomas Grace, tobacco grower, will send you certificate of death, and all necessaryevidence. If I live, you shall hear from me again.’ CHAPTER XXVIII. W-c.

When that day came Gil­bert Sinclair was missing. London detec­ tives had come to the aid of the localconstabulary, but too late to ke«p an eye upon the movemeuta of Mr. Sinclair. That gentleman contrived to leave Liverpool on Saturday morning, in a steamer bound forRio, Hie disappearance gave a new aspect to tb* cose, and aroused suspicion* of bi*guilt. Hi* household knew nothing of bis whereabouts. He had told Mrs. Sinclair and hi* body-servant that he wae going to Newmarket, and would be back in timeftr the inquirv on Monday ; but on an in­ quiry being telegraphed to his Newmarketestablishment, the reply was to tbe effect that Mr. Sinclair bad not been seen there. Tbe police bad occupied th* interval be­ tween Friday and Monday in tbe endeavorto find Mademoiselle Duport, but up to noon on Monday that young lady bad not been heard of, nor did any new fact ariseat the iuouest. Enlightened by Gilbert Sinclair’s disap­ pearance, th* police took a bolder flight.They discovered that th* oriel-window inMr. Sinclair'* study afforded an excellent point of aim for the iron ataircas* at th* foot of which the murdered man had beenfound. They alto opined that th* hand­ some collection of guua in that apartmentstfggretod a ready way of accounting for the mode and manner of the act. Sub**- quent investigation shewed that th* deer­stalker's rifl* in that collection carried a bullet exactly correeponding in sire and shap* to th* bullet extracted from JamesWyatt's J*aih-wound. Prof***ional aenrson led the investigator* furtbar to perceive that Mr. &acl*ir'i own account of bis ■upported by any other avidaooe, that it w ii pnuibl* for him to bare coma book toDaveoant, and to have entered and left bis bouM unseen by any of the household.

It bad been a particular­ ly busy time on th* Liverpool quay thatJune morning—half a dozen big ataam*r* starting for different parte of th* gleba,cornmerca at her beet on th* Mersey, and lb* trad* with South America thriving.

That letter from her dying linsbsnd was c a bitter blow to Constance Sinclair. There 1 was the keen reuse of loss, tbe knowledge ithat her lovely child bad verily sunk beneath the German river never ta rise < again, save as a spirit amidst the choir of 1angels. There was the deep humiliation of • knowing that she had been duped. They 1 bud takeu advantage of her affliction andconsoled her with a lie. She had been j fooled, deceived, and deluded, as a child is | deluded, for her good. Her soul rose up ,against this mocking of consolation iu i bitterest anger. Her very thanksgivings toHeaven—those outpourings of a mother’s , grateful heart overflowing with its wealth of joy—had been offered up in vain. She bnd no reason to be thankful. Heaven andearth had conspired iu ill-treatipg her. God had taken away her reason, and man had imposed upon her folly. Whom uponearth could she ever trust again, when even her father had so deceived her ? Wiih her husband’s letter came the cer­tificate of bis death. The same postbrought her a letter from Gilbert s lawyers to inform her of their receipt of his will, executed on bis death-bed.She was sorry for the wasted life, the lonely death in a strange land ; and Gil­bert Sinclair was mourned with more hou- est tear* than are always shed fur a husband's loss, even when the journey ofwedded life has begun in tire rosy light of a romantic love.After those leant given to tbe untimely dead, her thoughts were fall of anger. Sheconld not forgive th* deception that had been practiced, even though it had been done to rave her life.‘ Better a thousand times to have died inthat dim dream than to awake to such a disappointment aa thia,’ sb* said. And then «U* thought of the river in thafair German valley, and that agonizing day which she had learned to look back upon a* no more than- a painful and prolongeddream. Sb* knew now that it had beeu no dream, but a hideous reality. While ah* sat with Gilbert'* letter open, before her, abandoned to a tearless despair, the little one’* voice *onnd*d in tbe corri­ dor. and she heard the light swift footsteps. which always made her heart thrill. To-day it Strack her with an actual pain. She ro*a involuntarily and ran la th* door, a*sb* had been aooustoraed to ran to meet . her p*t, rejoicing at tbe child’s approach ; , bnt with b*i hand npon th* door, she flop.. it*d suddenly. •No, 1 won’t m * her—little inspoator— hving he—to have stolen my for*, and mydead child looking down open me from heaven all th* while—looking down to **eher place filled by a stranger—lonely in heaven, perhaps, for want of a mother’s lov*, and seeing her mother's h*ut givento another.’ . Tbe ligbteupping step* came neater. 'M i m m I ammamar coifed tfln glad voire.Constance locked th* door. ■ Go away,’ tire cried, houndy; *1 don'twant yon.’ Thera was a panse—complete citouce—and then a burst of aobbina. The strange nere of that tore had chdfed tbe drild cireart. Lipe that had hitherto only breath­ ed love, to-day epok* with the aeeeote of lumdromely for her—pour child, ft is not i her crime—bnt never see her agHin. Yet, i0 God I I love her. And the is crying now. perhaps. The loving little heart will | She bad been pacing the room distract- ( edly. This last thought was too much for i her. She ran to the door, unlocked it, and <went out into the corridor, calling, ‘Belle, 1darling Belle, come back. I ntn wailing |for you yet.’ (She went to the little one’* nwraerv, and I found her lying with her face buriedto the |•ofa-pillow, sobbing piteously. To-day’s harsh tones were the first experience of tin- i kindness. Constance threw herself on the ,sofa, and canght the ebild in her arms, drew the little trembling form to her i breast, and kissed and cried over it.‘ My pet, I love you. I shall love you to i my dying day,’ she cried, pnssionatelv. i ’Hearts can not bo played with like this.Love can not be given and taken away.’ The child hugged her, and was comfort­ ed, understanding the love, if not the wordsthat told it. ‘Belle hasn’t been naughty, baa she, mamma?’ sbo asked with innocent won­der. ‘ No, pet, but mamma has been very un­ happy. Mamma has had a sad letter. Oh,here comes Martha,’ as the devoted nurse entered from the night nursery. ‘Do you know, Martha. I think Christabel wantschange of air. You must take her to Hast­ ings for a little while.’‘Lor, mam, that wonld be niee. Batyou’ll come too, of coarse. You wouldn't like to be parted from her.' • I don’t know that I could come, quiteat first. I might come afterward, perhaps. I have some very sad business to attendto.’ Constance told Martha of Mr. Sioelnir's death but not a word of that imposture which bad jnst been revealed to her.Martha bad been os completely deceived as she bad, no doubt, Constance argued, forshe knew it was not iu the girl's honestnature to assist in a deception. Tha like­ ness of the lost child bad deluded themboth. ‘ I suppose all children of the same age and complexion are alike,’ thought Con- stance; ‘and yet I fancied my baby differ­ent from all other children.' She wished to send the child away, in or­der, if it wero possible, to cure herself of the habit of loving a child that had no claim on her—to love whom was a kind of treasonagainst the beloved dead. The preparations for the journey were hurried over; Martha was delighted topack and bo off. Tho child was pleased to go, but cried at parting from • mamma.' At two o’clock in the afternoon the carriage, drove Martha and her charge to the statiouwith tho steady old Marcbbrook butter for (their escort. He was to take lodgings for them, and make all things easy fur them,and sec them comfortably settled before he j came back to Marchbrook. , Constance breathed more freely when tbej child wao out of the house, and there was ! no chance of hearing that light footstep,that[ clear, sweet, chil.lish voice. Yet bowdreary the big old house,seemed in its soli- , lut’e, how gloomy the rooms, without that fluttering, changeful soul and allI the busy ,life she made around her—the family of cdolls—the menagerie of woolly animals,all ]afflicted with the same unnatural eqr.CAk. r an internal noise never beard to issue from i any animal that ever lived in ihs realm ofzoology. ‘ It would have broken my heart to keep , her near mo,’ thought Constance, ‘ and I (feel as if it must break my heart to lose her.’ < By way of solace, or to sustain her ia the | indignant pride which revolted against this ,spurious child, sbo tried to think of Christa- , bel in heaven. But her thoughts wander- , ed back to the living child, and she foundherself wandering whether Martha and her charge wero nt the end of their journey,and longing for tha telegram that was to an­nounce their sate arrival. •What folly!’ she thought, angrily. ‘ A strangers child—a creature that is uo moreto me than any of tho children at the infant school, and yet I can not tear her from my heart.' She sent for Dr. Webb. He was in the plot, doubtless. It was at his advice, per­ haps, that this beartleui deception waspracticed upon her. If it were so. she felt that she must hate bim all her life. Tbe little village surgeon camo brisklyenough, expecting to fied a mild case of measles, or some other infantile ailment, in the Marchbrook nursery. What wasbis astonishment when lie found Constance pacing the long dreary drawing-room,pate, with two burning spots on her cheeks, eyesbright with tnver. ‘ My dear Mrs. Sinclair, what la the mat­ ter?’ ’ Every thing.’ cried Constance. • Mypoor husband is dead, and on Ins death-bed wrote me a letter tolling me tho cruel trnth. Your wicked plot has been discovered. Yes,wicked ; for all lies xro wicked. You can not do eri! that good may come of it. Yon saved my life,perhaps,bnt what a life I Tofind that I have lavished my love upon an impositor; that when I thanked God on niyknees for His bounteous mercies, I had re­ ceived no gracious gift. Ho had shown no pity for my sorrows; bnt you—you and my tether had played at Providence, and hadpretended to perform a miracle ter my sake. It was a crnel infamous deception.’ ‘Il was desigued to save yonr life, and, i what is even more precious than life, your L reason,’ replied Dr. Webb, wounded by the harshness of this attack- ’But whatever ) blame may attach to the slratgein, yon r may spare me your eeneure. I had noth- , ing to 3o with it. The German physician, I whom your father brought here, was the, adviser from whom the suggestion came. He and your father carried it out I etween t them. I had nothing to do but look on,and watch the effect of the shock upon you. That was most happy.’ 'The Garman doctor,' said ConsianM,wonderiugly. ' Yes,I remember him faint­ ly, as if it were a dream—that winter night. He made me sing, did be not ? Hi* voicehad a mestntrioal effect upon mt. I obey­ed him involuntarily.

Ho bad attended tbe child in various small illnesses, had met her almostdaily riding her tiny shetland pony in tba lanes, and entertained a warm regard for the pretty little winning creature,who usedto purse up her lips like a rosebud for him to kiu.Kud bad evidently not the least ideathat he war old and ugly. ‘ Since you can tell me nothing, I shall send for my father,’ said Countance; ' homust know to whom the child belongs.* •I should imagine so,' replied the doctor, glad to fo*l bimaelf absolved of all bhme.It was a painful position, cortainly, he thought. Ho bad anticipated this difficul­ ty from tho beginning of things. He waavery glad to take his leavo of bis patient, after hazarding a platitude or two Dy wayof consolation. Lord Clanyarde was in Paris enjoying tho gayoties of tho cheerful season before Lent, and making himself extremely com­fortable iu his bachelor room nt the Hotel Bristol. He hod married all his daughtersa<lvantageously, and buried bis wife, andfelt that his mission had been accomplish­ ed, and Hist ho wu free to make his path-way to the grave as pleasant as be could. From January to March he found his aged steps traveled easiest over tho asphalt ofParis, and as poor Constance was happy with her adopted child, he felt no scruples against leaving her to eajoy life in her ownway. Mrs. Sinclair’s telegram informing him of her husband’s death, and eutreatiug himto go to Marcbbrook, disturbed tbe placidi­ ty of bis temper. • Poor Sinclair!' he muttered, with tn3refrelfulneas than regret. ’ Pity be couldn't havo died at a miro convenient limo.

It was put to me that this ; thing must bo done to save your life, and I 'consented.* ’ • Yon let a stranger take my destiny into <1 Lis bands ?' cried Coostauce.indignantly. i‘ Ho was not a stranger. He loved yon dearly—was as anxious for your welfare a* • even I, your father.’ ,• • The German physician, the white-hair- | ed old man who told me to hope ? Why, > he bad never seen mo before in his life.’’ ‘The man who told you to hope, who t peisuaded me to agree to tho introduction ' of a spurious child, was no German doctor.H« was neither old nor white-haired, and lie had loved yon devotedly for years. Heheard you wero dying of n broken heart,andcame to you in disguise iu order to seo if love could de visa some mean* of saving yon. The German doctor waa Cyprian Dave-nant.' This was another blow for Constance.The man whom she had believed in as the soul of honor was the originator of the scheme she bad denounced as wicked andcruel, and yet she could Cod no words of blame for him. She remembered the gen­ tle voice which had penetrated her ear andmind through the thick mists of madness, remembered tho tones that had touched her with a wandering sense of something fa­miliar and dear. Hu had come to her in her apathy and despair, aud from the mo­ment of his coming her life had brightened and grown happy. It was bat a delusive happinoss, a false peace; and now she mostgo back to the old agony of desolation and incurable regret.‘ You can at hast tell mo who and whatthat child is, papa,' she said after a long panso. ‘ Indeed, my love, I know nothing, ax-cept that Davonant told me she belonged to decently born people, and would never be claimed by any one. Abd the poor littlething looked so thoroughly clean and re­ spectable—of course at the ago one caubanlly tell—the feautnres are so undevel­oped—tbe nose more like a morsel of putty than any thing human—but I really didthink that the chill had a thoroug-bted look ; and I am sure wbsn I sxw her last Christmas she looked as complete a lady asever came out of Marchbrook unrsery.* • She is a lovely child,' arid Constance, ‘and I have loved her passionately.'• Then, my dearest gill, why not go on loving hsr?’ pleaded Lord Clanyarde. ‘Call her your adopted child,if you hke,andkeep her about you a* your pet and eotn- psnion till yon are married again,and have children of your own. You can then rele­gate her to her natural position, and by- and-by get her respectably married, or por­ tion her off in some way.’• No,’ said Constance, resolutely, ' I will never see her again.* And all the whi’n she was longing to take the afterneon train to HMlioge, and re­join her darling. After this there waa no more for Con- ■ stance Sinclair to do but to submit to fate,and consider herself once moro a childless1 mother. Sir Cyprian away, no one ' knew where, and even had he been in Eng-1 land Constance felt that there would be lit-■ tie use in knowing more than she knew al- < ready. The knowledge of the strange’ child's parentage oould be but of tbe small­ est impertauce to her, sinee she meant to bauiab the little one from heart and home.Lord Clanyarde and tbe lawyer* did allthat was necessary to secure Mra-Sinclair's position aa inheritor of her husband's eetate-The Newmarket stables and stnd were sold, anl realized a considerable sum, as tbe training etabla was supposed to bo the moat perfect establishment of ita kind-built on byjenic prinoipies,with all moJern inrproyementa—and was warmly oompel­ ed for by numeral* foolish young noblemenand gentlemen wbo were jnst setting out on that broad road along which GilbertSinclair bad traveled at so swift a rate.

Lord Clanyarde and bis daughter faeredriving on the Corso one sunny afternoonin the Easter week, when tho gentlsmaa'a attention was attracted by a lady whodrove a phaeton with a pair of oobs capari­ soned in a fantastical fashion, with silver bells on their harness. Tbs lady was pasther first youth, but was stiff remarkably liandaome, and was dressed with an artistre sense oi color and a daring disregard of thofashion of the day—dressed, iu a word, to look like an old picture, and not ifita • modern fashion plate. ‘ Wbo can she be?’ exclaimed Lor.l Clanyarde. 'Her face seem* familiar to me, yet I haven't the faintest idea whereI’vo seen her.’ A few yards further on ho encountered an acquaintance of the London clubs, andpulled up his lulrses on purpose to inter­ rogate him about the unknown in tba Spanish bat. * Don't yon know her ?* asked CaptainFlitter, with a surprised air. ‘Yoe, she'd handsome, but ptssee; inr It relaur.’‘ Who is she ?’ repeated Lord Clan­ yarde. i Captain Flitter looked curiously at Mm Sinclair before he answered. * Her name is Walsingbam—widow of n > Colonel Wakingham—colonel in tbe Span­ ish contingent—rather a bad egg; of counti I mean the gentleman. > A light dawned on Lord Clanyards'fl memory. Yes, this was the Mrs. Walsing-* bam whom people had talked about years ago, before Sinclair's marraige, and it waaSinclair's money she was spending new, inall probability, on that fantastical turn-out with its jingling bells. Lord Clayards felt himself personally aggrieved by tba lady,and yet be thought ho would like to mu moro of her. ‘ Does she stay long in Roma ?* be asked the club lounger. * She never stays long any where, I be­ lieve; very erratic; likes artiste and musicalpeople, and that sort ot thing; has reception everv Saturday evening. I always go. Ooam* eti people one doesn't see elsewhere— not tbe regulation treadmill, you know-’ Lord Clanyarde asked no more.

Tbe two men met that very evening, and the result of their conversation «M LordClanyarde’s presentation to Mrs. Walring- ham at her Saturday reception. She waa very gracious to bim, and madaroom for bim on ths ottoman where ebe waa seated, the centre of a circle of eutbuiiaatia Americans,who thought her tbe nicest Eng­lishwoman they had eves met.

Neafohatel, Switzerland, Nov. 18, 1878. Attention is being attracted by the sudden recurrenco of archaeological diaooveriM be­ neath tho wr.tera of the Swiaa lakes to a re- snnrkabte and almost forgotten era of pre­ historic times in Europe. For some months vast engineering works on a large scale have been carried on in the Swiss Jura for the pur- pose of deepening the lake basins and improv- ing the navigation. One of the results has been tho withdrawal of a great body of water from th* shallower, to the deeper areas, so that immense tracts of sandy beach are laid bare. Beau cannot now enter their accus­tomed harbors, and lung sand flats are seen where formerly good sised vessels were wont to find sufficient draught. At this place, the lake bottom which has thus become exposed to view proves to be rich in remains of the strange people who, before the dawn of his­ tory, erected their wooden villages upon piles, and lived here for centuries in Urge, populous, and prosperous communities. The fishermen at Neufchatcl, not unwilling to make the bestof hard times, are placing their services at thedisposal of the antiqnanes, and tho result isbeing seen in “finds" which seem to equal iu interest any recorded. Tho mysterious eras.which archaeologists have agreed to call tho“Stone Ago” and tho “Bronze Age,” are again being wonderfully illustrated from the sourcesthat have proved so prolific in tho past.There seems every reason to believe that thesearch for further remains will yield gratify­ ing results. The number of lake villageswhich have already been identified beneaththe waters at Neufchatel is more than fifty,and competent authorities nrv agreed in con­ sidering the discoveries as far from complete.The well known zest of the Swim archaeolo­gist, so congenial a work, scents thoroughly revived, and >t ran hardly be doubted that amost interesting chapter in the annals of oneof the primeval races of Europe has been suc­ cessfully reopened. “Few things can be moreinteresting than the spectacle of an ancientami long-forgotten people rising, as it were,from the waters of oblivion, te take the placewhich belongs to them iu the history of thehuman race." Sadi are the words of JohnLu bl lock, who, during the last twenty yean, has Ix-en carefully watching the discoveries inthe Swiss lakes. To-day the wooden piles onwhich the villages were built may be counted by thousands. Jn some places they resemblea submerged forest tbc tree-trunks of whichhave been suddenly snapped by a storm or anavalanche. Travellers who visit ths scene find it hard to believe that these incalculablerows of wooilen piers are really thousands of years old, so'fresh and unworn do they lookas they stand upright beneath the waters.But the story is no longer discredited. Theanci-nt race whose wcsjxms, ornaments, manufacturers articles of dress, and evenkitchen refuse, are found at the bottom of thelakes, have long since taken their place among the European prehistoric peoples. The taleof their cxiste’ico from the “Stone Age" downto the time when Helvetia came under the Roman rule is amply recorded by the involun­tary witness of the sites themselves. Theanimals they kept, the plants they cultivated for weaving and spinning, as well as for food,their querns, for grinding coni, and ovensfor taking bread, have in recent years been recovered from their watery tomb, insm-h remarkable profusion ns to enable ns easily to picture the life and avoeztionsof th? owners. completely did these early Hevcilaus adont, the waters as theirhome that their storehouses, and their stalls for cattle were all constructed upon the lake.An interval of time, which is only measuredby thousands of years, is shown to have elap­sed since the oldeit of the settlements werebuilt, vet to-day even the fodder and litter oftjic stalls are seen to 1>C safely preserved be­ neath the sunken floors and amid the woodenpiles. Sometimes the village is found to havebeen built as far as two thousand paces fromthe shore, as if tn bo ont of the reach of the fiery projectiles of enemies, which would seemsometimrs to have been fatal to the wide-spreading village of wattled huts. The imple­ ments and other relies which- sank into thewater whup tlio flooring gave way have beenaccidentally treasured up in the lake bed beneath, and the memorials of successive set­tlements have thus been found lying to thedelight of tho archaeologist, in due chronolog­ical strata. Eccentric as may seem te ourmodern ideas this preference for living on thewater instead nf on the laud, it is, perhapsstill more strange that the habit should have lasted so long. During the Stone Age tholake-.Iwdling fashion appears to have spreadover tho whole of Switzerland. The com­ mencement, it would seem, was contemporarywith the earliest British barrows and tumuli,and the remarkable shelLmtrnnds or kitchen middens which have yielded correspondingremains on the coast of Donmaik ; and it cer­tainly lasted until at loest the beginning of the Christian era.The strange people who hare l>ecn so sud­ denly brought ujMin the stage of history, had,however, no monopoly of the right of residingin tenement* built above tlio lakes. It mighthave been thought that so remarkable a cus­tom would be peculiar to the genius or eccen­tricity of a single race. But there is hardly adoubt that it was often adopted in different parts of tho world as a means of safety fromcommon danger. The age of earthworks andcastles had not yet arrived, and the lake would often offer a safer hmno thou the landfrom the attacks of men aud wild beasts alike.According to Herolotns, a Thracian tribe of his own ]»criod hail found out the advantage ofa lacustrine life. “ Their manner of living,”says tbc father of history, “ ia the following : Planks are fitted on lofty piles which stand inthe middle of the lake, with a narrow entrance from tho mainland by a single bridge. Everyman has a hut on the platform, in which hedwell*, with a trap door leading down to thelake.” The historian goes on to describe thoarrange-uente which were made for the cattleand fodder until a perfect picture of Thracianlake-dwelling is brought before ua But it is unnecisaary to go to Thracia for a parallel tothe Swiss pile house*. The lakes and widerrivers of our own country show instances of a similar habit of life among our pre-historic an­cestors. But nothing has yet transpired totonal in importance and interest the old lake villages which are now the subject of such ar-den» research in Switzerland. Much as wehave learned in recent years about the strange and interesting people whose traces have been«□ suddenly revealed, it is probable that stillmore rerrfXins to lie discovered. The languageand religion; feo poetry and tradition of theAges ol Stone and Bronx in Europe wouldindeed be a roulnUcjtian to' our knowledge of pro historic man. I-olia, Vounty Court.

Msmbsrs present—His worship Mayor Chad wish in the elixir, and Messrs. Daly, Badden, F. Stewart; Williams, BaUantyne, Busbansn, and Brown, The minutes of last regular meeting read. A letter was read from Mrs. G. W. Allen praying Hie Council to strike off her taxes for the present year.A blank nelitl*n to the Lieutenant Gov-ernor and Legislative Assembly was Laud­ ed in for the Hgnatnirs of ths Mayor.aakiug a grant to the Pt. Dover and Lake Huronand Stratford and Huron Railways for tho pnrpose of completing ths road to Wairton.Tlie finance committee’s report was read, which recotmiei’ded the payment of the following accounts:—J. B. Capron cleaningand removing indigent, 14.811 do. boani for indigent, 110.81; B. A. Woodcoek, stationera, etc., 168.62; C. E. Chadwicklaw coals" >lfi.75;d». telegraph account 76c.; M.

They also reccommond that the com­ munication of C. C. L. Wilsou, asking thatthe sum of 114. for use of hall for charity Ball be refunded, and those of Mr. T. D. Millar asking reduction of rent and remis­sion of income tax, bo not entertained by this Council. , ,,On motion of Dr. Williams, seconded by Mr. Stewart, Council went into commitleoof the whole on the finance committee re­ port, Mr. Brown in the chair.Mr. Walley enters and takes bis place. On motion Mrs. Leonard's account was passed at S2.50.Mr. Bncbanan objected io passing the res.dillion witholding tbo S14 paid by Mr. C. C. L. Wilson for tho hall on the night efthe Charity ball. He aaid it would dis­ courage any one from doing any thing for tho poor in a pnblio way. The Mayor also suggested that it wouldbe very inconsistent for the Council to take the money from them when they were try­ ing to relieve the exchequer of tho Charityfund. It would be almost a parallel case with refusing the free nao of the ball for the teachers convention held here a short timeago, which was a sorry reflection on the council indeed. It was a different thing altogether frem a social or entertainmentgivou by any sect or church for their own benefit as the proceeds of the Charity bail were for the benefit of the general publie.Dr. Williams was willing to give them that amonul, provided it was given by a direct vole of the Council, so that it would appear iu the Charity account at tho end ofthe yenr, as would uot be the case if it was refunded. Ono way for ns to get a poor­ house built iu tho County was to show theamount expended every year for charily purpose*. Mr. Chadwick—It is just as easy to showthe whole amount raised for that purpose as this 114. but ho did n?t think it would make any difference with the people of theCounty. The best m»au8 of showing them how ranch is expended yearly for that pur- ipse would be to treat all tramps aud poor people ns vngrr.nls, sexi! lhcm to Wood-stock, and let the Counly pay for tlu’iH. Dily—Tho mere fact of u* taking 814 for the use of the ball is not taking it away from the poor of the town. Wa have a number of applications on tho table fromparties asking a remission of taxes aud be would venture to say tLey were as poor a* those who received help. Ho bad been along time iu Ingersoll aud contributed* as liberally ns bis mean? would allow to that Charity fund, but bo had never heard wbstbad been done with it, or how the moneywas distributed. Mr. Chadwick—Th* Charily fund was alwavs judiciously distributed, as manywho have taken an interest in tbo matter ean attest. An amendment to refund the sum of 814to the cecretary of the Charity Ball was lost. The report aho reeommonled that aspecial committee be appointed to look into iln» cast* of parties who are making appli­ cation for a remiaeion of taxes. On motion of Mr. Williams, seconded byMr. Ballantine committee rose and report­ ed th* report a* recommended.On motion of Dr. Williams, seconded byMr. Slewart. the amended report of the finance committee was adopted, and the Mayor instructed to sign orders on theTreasurer for the respective amounts con­ tained therein. On motion of Mr. Bnclinuan, secondedby Mr. Brown, the account of H.

The Misses McCarty p< r- formed a very beautiful duett on the piano, which was well received. After this part of the performance was cfosed, over which Mayer Chadwick presided, the “ Owls ” took possession, and poured forth a stream of mirth and jollity for nearly two bonni, which, metaphorically speaking, shook the sides of tho audience until they were ready to split. When the ** Owls" are out again ; we want to be there. • Who Wr it t r it Report ?—Those cor­ respondents of the London papers are the ; most enterprising young men we have in town, and if on* gets the start of th* other it ia an accident and not because he is mere addicted to rcinaneing than bis con­ frere.

Tire Stock consists of Paris, Thuraday.—A mortal duel wnsfought to-day betwen Gambelta and Four- ton, at Piesau Pioquet. The offence wasgiven by Gambetta, who aroso in theChamber and shouted in a loud voioa to F<<artou, who does not appear to have saida word for some weeks, “Sir, yon are a liar I cheerfully retract the remark.” M. I'ourtou, resented it by binding a wettowel arronnd his throbbing temples, nnd whispering in a hoarse voice to bisassistant*, 41 H—a I Wo must fight —fight till one—-of—us—is ” Here ho muds a vigorous horizontal gesture indicat­ ing his bloody purpose. They fought yesterday, as I hare said. F.iends tried to pacify Fonrtou, but heexclaimed that Gambetta’s instantaneouswithdrawal from the language “did not modify tbo offeusiveuess of the epithet.” Hii face was livid with rage when ho catncupon the field flourishing his dueling pistols . and demanding in a loud nnd melancholy voice, “ Dns-s-s-s-sang I Dus-s-s-s-sang 1)Some bnl-lud some 1 bul-lud 1) "How many paces will you have it!” asked bia eeccond. “Tree proohe 1 tres procho I” shouted Fonrtou, wildly, which means 44 very near. 44 How near ?” inquired tho surveyor. “Three hundred rods I” shouted Fonrtou. At this juncture Gambetta came upon the grennd and sneered at the idea of fight­ing at such a distance. “Bring us close to­ gether 1” he cried hysterically, while bis eves turned red and he gently frothed nt■fLe mouth. *• Make it 700 rods.” Fonrtou wished I to modify this, on ac­ count of a supstitjon against ronnd uombors and it was finally made 777 rods. Gam­betta nod his second mounted their vel­ ocipedes and hastened to position.The doomed men fought with telescopes manipulated with the left, while tho right wheeled tho pistols into range. The sec­onds were connected by telephones. 441 think I see bitn I” said Fonrtou, in a desponding tone, when they were in posi­tion; 44 that is I fear I do,” It was found to be an insect on his eyebrow, however,and he wus quieted.A rocket iu tbo distance shortly indicated that Gambetta had fired, nnd Fourto bracedhimself and blazed away. ,Then each patty sat down and partook other, the telephone haveing got out of order Presently a messenger was seen tearingthrough the fields towards Gambetta on a black steed lashed into a milkoy foatn, nnd he bore a message from Fonrtou, os fol­lows : “It seems to me the offensiveness of the epithet is modified. I feel better.”Gambetta replied with emotion,441 cheer­ fully accept yonr apology. If I havefnil«d to ssy nothing which I do n»t regret it was wholly unintentional. There is great rejoicing that this un­happy affair is over without any worse blood shed.

The Cam non Council of Dos Moines, Iowa,have passed an ordinance prohibiting the saleof all intoxicant* in that city. Cardinal Manning recently presided over atemperance mcStin^ on Lower Hill, London,Eog.. which was attended by 10,000 people. Tho y<»?i<>nai Bapt'nt says that “in almostevery large city more money is spent for l>eor than bread ;" and adds, ’’ We have bntto lookthrough the buug-hole to see tho cause of ourbard times,” The Central Chrhlian Allocate, of St. Louis,says : “ A general and pennant reform ofdrunkard* is not possible while the drinkin**. shop i* a license 1 iustititntion and tbe liquorselle rs prominent in politics.” Hon. Neal Dow says r 14 An intelligent man must see that tho attempt to carry on thetemperance cause without prohibition is likegoing into battle with blank cartridges against a bold and resolute enemy armed with leadedshot guns.” Not the least of wonderful sights at thegreat Paris Exposition was a public-housewithout iutoxicatin* drinks. A building of this kind, called the British Tea and Coffi ePalace, is erected on an eligible site close tothe main entrance. The Grand Lodge of Good Templars of NewYork have taken steps to petition tho StateLegislature “ to the qualified voteri a con- stiutional amendment entirely prohibiting them iniifncture and sale of drinks within thejurisdiction of the State.” Rev. E. Haskell, has conducted a success­full campaign Goderich, Ont, under the aus-u ess of the Woman's Uhristain Temperance Union of that town for three weeks. Onequarter of tho nopn'ution have signed a totalabstinence pledge. From Goderich he goes toParis and Chatham.

They have an inflexible rnlo against selling spirits to the red man. In­deed, in the country beyond Manitoba no in­toxicating liquors cui be procured. Too Cana­ dian Government have adopted tho Com-nany's^policyfin this matter, and have orgar- . .. v do*not think that professing Christainsare .aware of the injury they do to their fel­low men by taking an'Occasional glass ofliquor in a public place. An example induces others to do the same. It seems tome thattho Apostle Pool's teaching is quite plain, whenhe ssys It is good neither to cat flesh or drink wine, nor anything whereby tby brotherstmnblcth, or is made wedk. but if thy brotherbo grieved with thy meat now walketh thounot charitably. Destroy him not with thy meat for whom Christ died." Christ com-mands that ’* Ye love one another.” Paulsays : ’’ Love worketh no ill.” How can men and women bo Christains who, do thesethings to another ? And yet thcra are pro­fessing Christains who, by their example of moderate drinking, induce intemperance inothers.Canon Farrar, in a sernvm preached a fewSundays since in Westminter Abbey, declaredalcohol drinking and drunkenness to be thoone glaring, disgraceful and perilous national vice, by whieh the nation stands unenviablydistinguished and seriously endangered ’’ 8ostrong a.feeling of the svils of drunkenness asthat which now prevail* in respectable circle* in England naturally leads to tbo adoption ofthe Christian rule of total abstinence. It does■not require tho imposition of total abstience upon others as a rule ; it only lead* a man tosay : “ Because this evil is so great, and be-causc I wisli to save those w ho are rainingthemselves by drink and becanse I cannot verytffecively urge them to abstain without ab­staining myself, I,, therefore, relinqish aluxury to whieh I deem myself entitle<L that Imay the more successfully persuade thoseto abandon it to whom itis proving a curse." It begins to Im evident in England that thiscourts of conduct is something very differentfrom fanaticism, and the ume truth ought tobe equally evident on this side of the ocean. A DVERTISEMENTS.
