eovery was made on an island in the Miselissippi 8 miles below here, yesterday, by some Ashermen. It was a subterranean cave hewn out of the solid which was covered by a huge rock, and which was reached by stout steps. The foor of this eubterranean cavity, which had undoubtedly teen made thousands of years ago, was thickly strewn ashes, the eharred remains Of bones, and a eubstance which they took to be dead leaves, first wettei then pressed to. and resembling in color and didity the cake from oatmeal. Among the dry settee they picked up three tusks about tte size of boaek teeth, and sall lower the boat.book came in contact with a hard dubstance which proved to be a skull.

brown as polished walnut. perfect in every respect, and of extraordinary size. Oa further examinatima, almeet complete skeleton wan discovered. But the most singe-Lai' part came to light in the hardened sod almost petrified leather straps, bronze buckles, and a wooden leg which continued the right extremity, that limb bay-hog been removed about midway between the bin and knee. This is a very interesting cry, proving proving that a knowledge of bronze was among the learning of the aboriginal Americans.

and that mechanical surgery in those days was equal at least to the adaptation of a timber extremity. Advantages of the Site Selected by Them. d' THE CADET CORPS. ARRANGING You THE REUNION. The enrylving members of the old United States Cadet Corps met at the Snerman House last evening for the parpose of a general reorganization, the alaption of a constitution and a set of by-laws, and to receive the report of the Committee on Reunion and Banquet.

Maj. E. B. Knox preeided, and Goodie True oMciated as Secretary. Comrade Floyd Introduced a resolution that the names of all deceased members, together with their rank in the volunteer or regular army, be inscribed in golden letters on tne flag won in 1359, and hell against all compenies, either in Cansda or the United States.

Tne constitution and by-laws were adopted article by article. On motion of Comrade Floyd, all withdrawn members are eligible to membership in the 1 organization just formed. Comrade Ross, of the Committee on Reunion sell Banquet. to be held Sept. 15, reported that the Committee had made all arrangements except the 1 valeta.

It was their sense that the banquet should bet a very recherche one and should be held at some et the hotels. The musk, is to be tarnished by about ten pieces, played se nearly as possible by members of the old Ligbt Guard Band. In view of the tact that the Cadets were the only company who witaiit into active service and came out of it without touching a drop of liquor, it, was the geese of the Committee that the banquet ehould be in commemoration of their god conduct, and that consequently no wines or liquors suoull be drank on that eelmon. The programme is to be gotten up in the finest style on white satin. Balletiag for officers then ensued, with the following result: PresittentHo Derfett.

Tarrivo TO OILLIALNIZE IN THE A meeting was held at No. 477 North Wells street last evening to organize a branch of the Jettersonian Club.

The attendance wee small, the non-voting element predominating, but those present were true disciples of the orieleal or central Club, which has been characterized by its noise, disagreements, and mob-bleb. james Ennis, who was sent from the central Club fdr that purpose, called the crowd to order, and stated the object of the meeting to be to organize for the campaign in opposition to Grantism, thied-termism, and corruption. He was eubsequently called temporarily to the chair, which was a beer-keg in the rear of the room secreted behind a pool-table. 4 Upon his the chair the greatest contagion, approximating a mob. le half-dozen were on tile floor at the same time, making motions.

speeches, and oaths in English and German. Out of the confusion it was indistinctly understood that an effort had been on foot ta elect a Prebident of the Club in advance of ILE formation. Adolplans Schoeninger and Robert Leshey were finally placed in nomination, which was the signal for ANOTHER SCENE, dis2raceta1 to ail concerned, and beyond description. A voice wu heard amid the din attacking 3rr. Leahev because he was an Irishman, Web aroused Lis ire.

earl made him say some ugly things, and to denounce the whole reovemeut in the bi rereet teams. Finally the election was proceeded with. the Chair adopting the novel plan of having the crowd march around the peol-table, and give their names to the Secretary as they paused. The plan worked well, and the boys enjoyed it beartilv. many of them eucceeding an passing around eevet al times.

The result was finally announced as the election of Schoeninger, wheredpon Mr. Leahey clared in an excited manner that be had been SW-Di-OLEO OCT or AN ELECTION. fie was joined in his remonetrance by Vs Irish frtends, who sail the ward contained about tee Iriela voters who might be needed at the polls this fall, but who woald be wanting in the war on the Repubhcan party if they were to be treated as they bad been at that meeting. Mr. Leahey was finally appeased, however, and induced to accept the position of VicePaesident, with John Mnrkey to aiyeist Inni.

Dr. Slaippers and David Smith were after a manner elected Secretaries, and Messrs. limed. Markey, Wheeler. Leahey, and Doyle, a committee to select a Ward Central Committee for the club, to report at the next meeting.

The remainder of the time of the meeting was given to personal wrangles between the speakers and the chair, which at tames threatened to lead to blows, and probably blood-letting. On the whole, a more disgraceful. inharmomOng, unrepresentative body never assembled in the Seventeenth Ward. fiad all been drunk or insane, the meeting, from the Preeident down, could not have possibly been more boisterous or indecorous. man, Incorrect statements have been made, I deem it proper to correct some of them.

On the 19th of Iday last, Mrs. Lincoln, being in court, was declared insane, and a fit subject for treatment en State Hospital for the Insane." The warrant for commitment at the request of bet friends, directed to the undersigned, commending him forthwith to arrest and convey her to Bellevue Place, Batavia, It has bees publicly stated that I have "certified" to the recovery, or mental soundness, of Mrs. This is not true. She is certainly much both mentally and physically but I have not al, any time regarded her as a person of sound mind. I beard all the testimony at the trial, May 19, and saw no reason then to doubt toe correctness of the verdict of the jury.

I believe her to be now insane. The question or Mrs. Lincoln's removal from this place, notwithstanding her mental impairment, has received careful consideration from her conitervator, Mr. Robert T. Lincoln, and myself.

The prop-opium) having having been made that she stionll go and live with her sister, i'dxs Edwards, in Spriugfield, I at ouce said that if she would do this good faith, and thus secure a quiet home for bereelf. I should favor it, up-less her condition should change for the worse." This was written to Mr. Robert T. Lincoln in a letter addreased to him on the Oth met. And this is all there is of the certificate" said to havesbeen given by me of the recovery or "mental soandness of Mra.

Lincoln. In accordance with the above couditional sanction of the proposition for removal, I have occaeien to know that Robert T. Lincoln made efforts to perfect arrangements for the transfer of Mre. Lincoln to Springfield. It is well anown tbat there are certain insane persons who need what in medico-legal science is termed interdiction, which dies not necessarily imply restraint.

If time should show that Mrs. Lincoln needs only the former, without the latter, all will rejoice to see any possible enlargement of her privileges. And now, although the conditions upon which. oti the 9th I favored her removal, have been modined by the presence of a. greater egrets of mental pertureation than at that time existed, I am still noodling to throw any obstacle in the vas, of giving her an opportunity to have a home with her sister.

But I am willing to record the opinion that such is the character of her malady she will not be content to do this, and that the expenmont, if made, will result only in giving I the coveted opportunity to make extended taro' bles, to renew the indulgence of her purchasing manta, and other morbid mental manifestations. In regard to the treatment of Mrs. Lincoln while under my care, it has been stated that she has been kept in close centluement," "virtually imprisoned behind grates and bars." locked by her jailer as a prisoner," incarcerated," etc. These and other like harsh terms are not used in the interest of truth. They.

are unjust, and do no credit to those who apply them to the case of Mrs. Lincoln. She need Dot remam in doors unless by her own choice more than two or three waking boars of any day. A carriage is always at her corn-wand. She may ride or walk when and where I she pleases, on condition that she shalt rehire at proper hours, aad be accompanied by some suitable person or persons.

She receives calla from ladies of her acquaintance in Batavia, and may return them. be has been called upon by Gen. Farnswotth, of St. Charles, and by some of her relatives in Springfield. She has had, until the 16th private unrestricted persenal intercourse with Judge Bradwell, who.

in a threatetung and insulting letter to me, calls himself her legal adviser and friend." The wifeof Judge Brad well, until the date above has been peimitted repeatedly to visit Mrs. Litl001O. rite her numerous letters, bear messages and packages of letters from her, and lodge over night with her in her room. As to "gaarded windows," I bare only to say they are made as.unobjectionable as it is possible to make them. A light ornamental screen was at first placed before Mrs.

Lincoltee windows. These were subsequently removed. Lot when it is remembered that the same evening on hien Mrs. Lincoln was declared insane she attempted suicide, all right-minded persons will berets that guarded windows were among the proper precautions against accident. As to "barred doors," there are none at Bellevue Place.

Mrs. Lincoln's doers leading to the outer world are never locsed during the day time. The outer door only is locked at bed-tune at night by her private attendant. and the key tetained by the attendant. who sleeps in an edioinine room communicating with that of Lincoln.

This, to my mind, is the proper Cling to do. Mrs. Lincoln bas been placed where she is under the forms of law, and, if any have a grievance, the Jaw is open to therm This sad case bas commanded the constant endeavors of those who have the care of her unselfishly to do the best for Mrs. Lincoln.

The sun was exceedingly hot and the wind was correepondingly not at all caculated to promote accuracy of aim or steadiness of nerve. The club men were armed in a miscellaneous manner, and regarded the whole affair- as a preliminary meeting. Solna very good shooting was done when the wind went down, and, strange to say, most of the gentlemen did better at the 200 than at the 100 yard range. Nearly all of them were quite unueed to rille-ehooting, and, al' though many of the bullets went outside the riegs and did 'vot count, comparatively few gooseeggi were recorded. IL W.

8. CLEVELAND acted as Captain, and gave very general satisfaction. He scored some bull's-eyes himself, with an inferior rifle, bold his own against the chamnions who cserted the improved weepers. Mr. Cleveland's choice shooter is now absent on the Misalseippi, where WI gun is having a high time among large and small game.

TEE GROUNDS SELECTED for the shootiug are very conveniently situated, and offer fair facilities for long-range and slice trange practice. In firing for short range, the men have to face the lake shore, which is protected by a Imo of high embankments, admirably calculeted to stop the bullets in their mad career. By shooting in the edge of the woods to the south. and firing in a nortberly direction, obliquely to a ard the lake, a range of 1,300 yards can be obtained. This is very Patie although meet members of the Club would prefer Gale-wood, only that tee railroad facilitics are ot nearly so geed.

Therefore, they must make the most of the grounds selected, which can be proved at very little expense. Targets must be constructed and a svetem of signals agreed Also. a pit must be dog oat and lot tilled for the marker, and, in face the example of Cteedmoor must be followed es closely as possible. 'rue rutee-tir YESTERDAY need not be subjected to criticism. It, at all events.

ANOTHER laRETTNG OF THE DISAFFECTED. A motley crowd of about 100 disappointed office-seekeris, Coramunista, loafers, intermingled with a few honest workingmen who merely came to see the fun, held another fire limits meeting last evening at Lochner's Hall, No. 460 Milwaukee avenue. This meeting was gotten up by the Immo parties who engineeted the one at Ogden's Grove two weeks ago. The object of these meetings is less to work for a contraction of the fire limtts, for 'nearly, all those attendieg the Meetings do not care whether the city is barn pf wood or brick, having never paid a cent of taxes in their life; but to bring a semi-Communistic organization styled the Guard of the rtepublic into prominence, and help its leaders into office.

It seems that the better class of workingmen have already become aware of this fact, and for this reason the meeting last evening was but poorty attended. and the next one will undoubtedly fare woise. The fire-- limits queestion has been chosen by these hungry politicians because they thought it most calcolated to the workingmen. They, how' ever, do not enthuse worth a cent. Most of them have come to the conclusion that it is ans cheap to build of brick as wood, and those who have non are too wide awake not to see through the flimsy pretenses of this clamorous body of oeice-seekers, and will have nothing to do with them.

The meeting was called to order by Mr. John W. Hoffman, who stated that TRU OBJECT OF TRW emenrent was to protest against the present extended fire-limits. They had a simtiar meeting on the North Side, a couple of weeks previous, and resolutions were passed asking the Common Council to change the present fire-ordinaoce. They had thouglet it best to give the suffering workmgmen of the West Side a chance to express their indignation at having the tire-limits coexteusive Situ the city limits.

Mr. C. F. Harteman was elected Chairman, and Mr. Henry Miller, Secretary.

MR. C. ARNOLD was the first speaker. He sail all beginning was hard, as the thief sale when he first stole an auvil, and it ass hard to inaugurate a new move-meat for the overthrow of corruption and fraud. He could only refer to the corruption among the County Commissioners, who only a few weeks ago perpetrated a steal in giving away the county printing to the Union and Courier, the first one being a paper of no account at all.

and the second bad hardly more than five readers. 'n Such corruption as existed among the officials in this city did not exist in any place in the world, not even in monarchical Europe. It was foolish to claim that a small frame house would make a worse fire than a large brick builtfing. The wealthy classes were making this outcry for brick buildings becauee they would not tolerate a poor man alongside of them. The chief aim of thede people was to drive the poor workingmen out of the city altogether.

and keep them in slavery end noverty forever. Bat the time would come if they all worked together man to man and shounter to shoulder when these corruptioniste would be driven nom their etrongeolds be the outraged people, and then this ctry world become free indeed, and the workingmen would be aliowed to tuild their houses of whatever material they chose. sift. CART, EAresIVETI, the next speaker, deplored the fa-t that the meeting Wad not, better attended, but the reason was that a mietake had been made in the eeiecnon of the ball they ought to have moved further out of the city. where the peopne were suffering more from the present fire ordinance.

Is was foolieb to assert that a brick house could be built as cheap as a frame one, and besides, a trick hone could not be moved from one lot upon another as a frame bnilJing could. T'arough the present ordinance workingmen were prevented from building a home of their- own. They even were compelled to sell the lots they already because they could not afford to build of trick.
