Prof. George E. Beyer, of Tulare university. New Orleans, fiat just returned from his explorations of the socalled Indian inounos along the Red river, and between that stream and tha Mississippi, in Franklin, Natchiti ches and other neighboring parishes, which he investigated for Tulane university and the Louisiana Historical society. He was able to distinguish the several layers of earth, shell and clay deposited at different times, and to demonstrate a greater antiquity for the mounds than had been supposed an antiquity of at least 1,000 years. The skeletons and implements discovered proved further that the inhabitants of these mounds were not of the race of the ordinary red Indians who were found there by the French and Spanish explorers, but a race akin to the Aztecs or Toleties, of a more peaceful disposition than the neighboring Indians, and originally more civilized. They had

Prof. Lloyd Morgan, a biologist, has Just published the results of experiments and observations made by hia» on the influence of habit on instinct in | animals, says the NewcastJ# Chronicle. Habit is defined by the professor ai: action or conduct stereotyped on the individual by repetition, while instinct is twofold, namely, inherited instinct, : comprising congenitally definite facultlee and innate -tapuclty, and acquired instinct leading to the formation of | habit. Botli habit and instinct are au- j tomatic, although. like such automatic acts as breathing and walking, they may become subject t<> conscious cerebration or action of the will. It is instinct which, when a hen has hatched a brood of ducklings, throws her into a terrible state of agitation when the brood, also actuated by instinct, takes to the water. What experience, asks Mr. Morgan, has the ben ut drowning? To adopt such an interpretation is to

A voting contest to decide who of our citizens is possessed of tlie most rigid nerve is wholly unnecssary. Any number of persons saw ^County Clerk Darnall prancing around on the glassy pavements in front of the Court House this morning, juggling a costly fancy mirror with as coldblooded an air as ever Jesse Janies wore. At tit** meeting of the Gentlemen's Literary club last evening at tlie home of Lieut. McIntosh. Mr. Jesse \V. Weik presented a paper on '' The President and tlie Pie Man.” The theme was tin“civil service reform humbug.” The paper was an excellently Jwrirten one and pieseuted the view - of tlie author in a powerful manner. Tlie discussion teat it provoked waf even more general than usual and brought out a number of original views upon the question that is engrossing so much of tlie public’s attention now. Officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: President, Prof. 11. B. Longden; secretary,

Jas. Fuudry is llmling attentive audiences tody. His latest story is about a horse of his that] went out into the pasture this morning and killed a rabbit for break lust, * k Ttie -toryj would have been more pathetic if Mr. For.dry had stated that the horse tirought the rabbit to its master and presented it to him with a look of grateful reward for past favors, but it was not told that way and we can not risk our reputation by making unwarranted additions Tlie Indianapolis Journal -tales that the home of R--\. Lawrence Jones, of Irvington, was entered by burglars Sunday and thoroughly ransacked by them. Many valuable articles were taken hut it is impossible to learn tlie value as Mr. Jones is in tlie soutli to spend the winter. The gentleman mentioned is well known in this city, as he lived here about ’85, had several children in school here and still owns property in the city. “Clarence Glidewell bought a pair of overshoes Saturday.

The Indian mounds c mtained a large number of skeletons with heads distinctively Indian. arrows, tomahawks, etc. The other mounds were in tlie swamps or lakes, like those of Mexico. Such lakes were once abundant along the Red river, hut nearly all have been drained dry to-day by tlie removal of tV'- Red river raft. The number of these mounds fairly staggered Prof. Beyer, he found no fewer than fifty clustered together and extending a distance of two miles from Brown's bayou to Little Deer creek. They were so close together only fifty feet apart—as to make what must have been in old days
a settlement or town.
hard to conceive she possesses, ft is more probable that her fussy behavior is partly the result of her little ones going where she has an instinctive aversion to following them, and partly the result of breach of normal associations due to previous experience with chicks. Two instances are recorded of hens under the impulse of habit. Each had reared three broods of ducklings in succession, while the fourth brood of each consisted of chickens. One of tlie hens used to fly to a stone In the pond and remain there while her ducklings swam around her. When the chickens were hatched she flew to the accustomed stone and called eagerly for them to 'follow her, but iu vain. The other hen, finding her chicks did not take to the water like her former broods had done, took them down to the stream, and pushed them in. Imitation begts habit, and habit begets instinct.

Yet it is difficult to regard j J solely as instinct the behavior of trout ; ! in a stream which permits cows and j horses to graze near them, but will j dash away in consternation if even a small child walks near the verge of the

Itoats Carried on the HeaiU or Men. The achievement has often been referred to of tlie carrying of steamboats on the hacks of men. The expression is not quite accurate, for the Congo natives are trained from infancy to carry burdens on their heads. When a European on the lower Congo sent his black boy to a store to buy some clg arettes, ' ? was surprised to see the servant return with the tiny package

husband unfortunately, has been able
to procure a tiottle of rum, he walks ] —
home with it nicely balanced on his head, throwing stones at the stray dogs and eats in his way, without the slightest idea that he is really an expert equilibrist. Most of the many thousands of pieces of steamboats were carried on the heads and not on the
backs of men.
The 50,000 natives of the lower Congo who have been carrying these steamboats and all other freight around the cataracts are the very men who could not be induced, eighteen years ago. to give a helping hand to Mr. Stanley. He wished to carry 1.850 man-loads, and he had only 180 Zanzibar and Loango porters for the work. Some of the natives would sell him a little of their lime, but they would not carry Ills goods more than two or three miles beyond their homes. Stanley's failure to secure the carriers he needed along the river delayed his work on the upper Congo for more than a year, and I '.lie labor question was I he most perplexing problem with which he had to | deal. He tirought his carriers thou- I sands of miles, from Zanzibar and oth- ! er coasts of Africa. Harper's Round 1

M'l.iit Wtu \V«- tin With Onr Hoy*. Ttiere was a small boy close to the window of the bookstore. The youth was gazing at the periodicals with
keenest interest on the open pages be-
fore him. Near ‘he edge of the walk was another boy. walking briskly
along, whistling, happy, at peace with
ail tlie world. A cable car passed northward and there was still a third boy on the grill. This boy was eat-
; ing an apple had consumed about half i of the russet, when he noticed the boy
at the window and the other boy on
the walk. The youngster on the grip was a Macchiavelli, a diplomat, &
skilled intriguer and a villain. He
| drew hack his arm, let go the apple and craned his neck far forward as the
half-eaten russet flew on its career. It struck the boy at the window bill
: on the hack of the neck and, bursting, distributed its juice and seeds impartially over bis hair and collar. The assaulted one gave a shriek of surprise and rage. Then seeing the boy on the edge of the walk, he wheeled, rushed at that Innocent and inoffensive future president and smote him violently upon the probsfs. The lad* clinched and rolled on the pave, while the car sped by, and the boy who threw i the apple contorted himself in frantic
! paroxyms of uproarious glee.
