THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, JUNE i5, 1873 THE NAMELESS DEAD. Vestiges of 3 Long-Forgotten Race., i The Mounds of Wisconsin and Other States. i Their Situations, Forms, Contents, &c., &c. The mounds of Wisconsin have ever been iden- tified with its history ; yet there are but few, comparatively, who know sught of them beyond the fact of their existence. But little more wos * known to the writer until recently, when, passing woveral months in their vicinity, interest was aroused to learn somowhat more of the great problem that must forever remsin unsolved. Soma of tho facts and theories wers gleaned from history, but much was obtained directly from the dwellers amid the mounds,—farmers and mechanics, who, with no preconcsived theo~ xies to sustain, are withont inducement $o .color the truth in order to reconcile facts and fancies. The warm summer rain, scaroely more than mist, fell in gentle benediction on field and flower a8 wa drove into thelittle hamlet of Azta- lan—the City of the Dead. An airof repose per- waded the dwellings of the living, scarcely less profound than that which wrapt the nameless alumberers of centuries in their dwellings below. “The houses of yellow brick, clustering aboat the solitary church which stood like s tall senti~ pel inthe midst, lent to the aspect of the town a usintness peculiar to itself, and widely at va- giuwa with our preconceived ideal of rural Iand~ gcape, with ifs tiny white cottages nestling amid verdant bowers, illuminsted by their corollaries, #ragrant roses sud pinks. Brick-snd-mortar, i eparsble aesociatea of the city, jarred pain- fally, with » sense of incongruousness which no fawiliarity could dissipate. The name of Aztalan was conferred by Judge Hrer, ona of the earliest sottlers of 1836, who referred the origin of the mounds to & race of people co-existent with, and similar toj the sncient Aztecs of Mexico. The village lies in the midst, and many dwell- ings stand directly apon these mounds, which 270, in some respects, the most remarkable of the ancient earth-works,~most remarkable that they bear more closely than others resemblance tos fortification. These aresituated about half- a-mile from the village, though the mounds com- mence in the heart of the town, extending nearly s mile on both eidos of the road lesding to Lake Mills, Adverae circumstances prevent- ing us from making a personal examination of these wonders, we interviewed in approved etylo an individual who, with hoe in hand, ws diligently cultivating & paich of onions growing o2 one of the mounds, which, he sasured us, sigided Zar heavier crops than the surrounding foil. Lesning upon the fence to which we had drawn in olose proximity, he made intelligent pud decisive snswer fo our questions, poured out in rapid suocession, while we wWatched anx- ionsly the threatened deloge from the heavens. ‘While gleaning much from this source, we sve still indebted to W._B. Smith's History of Wisconsin for s minute description of the fmounds, The northand south walls abut on she Crawfish Biver, and extend about 400 yards. from the west wall, which is of the same length. These walls have ertain projections, apparently uttreases, at intervala of 80 feot. Near tho western wall, within “the inclosure is an oblong mound, 5 fest in- elevstion, in which Were found, some years since, pieces of s sork of matting, snd seversl Tope-strands of grass or other fibrous eubstance, & texture To- sembling cloth, human bones, pieces of pottery of various kinds, together with fragments " of brick or burnt clay mixed with grass or ttaw,— #ll of which articles sesmed. charred by fire. {Kithin the inclosure, on the southwest angle, is » larga mound, nearly square, from 15 to 20 !_ut 1o height, flat on the surface, with & connecting sidge, of from 8 to b foet in hoight, to ancther square mound st tho southeast sngle. Such i ey e A N o & feet abova the surrounding country, The whole inclosure, except where the land is under cultivation, is covered with & scattering growth “ of shrob-osk and other shrobbery; but the earth-works, with their peculiar formation, are distinctly tracesble. | Aboye some of the mounds forest-trees are growing, which, from their size, indicate grest sge. In the circulsr mounds wero found bones and pottery. Mr. Smith and Judgé Hyer both incline fo the ‘opinion that they are the remains of ancient for- tifications ; while Stephen Taylor beliaves them 2o be tumuli for the dead, and this fact tends to support bis theory: that the soil differs in every respect from the soil surrounding them, snd it is improbable the builders should have ps- eumed such gigantio labor only to erect & means of defense. On the other haud, but few skele- tons are found, while hatchets snd pottery are ecattered throughont. But this factlendsno support to the former. theory, 88 it is & well- Jmown fact that primitive races inhume various utensils with their dead. "\ The mounds on the track of the military road. leading .from Fort Winnsbago to Prairie du Chien are from 4 to 5 feet in height, and assume <he form of varions animals, the fox, deer, elk, besr; and also efiigies of birds, the cagle, &c.,— while others bear the form of thié" Cross, and all &ro composed of soil differing in guality from thst about -them, and’ must have been brought a long distance, or hsd s spe- cial proparation.- A gentleman, whose farm in- cludes several monnds, described a walled room discovered in orie 0f them, built Tp of brick clay, containing oxide of jron; whils the native soil is impreguiated with mignesium, which gives the brick made of it a light-yellow color, almost white. The mounds are all composed of soil of a reddish-brown, rich, very friable, snd devoid of all extraneous matter, as though it had been Eifted. Upon the bank of the Crawfish there remain- «d, pome years since, portions of & wall of brick amade of reddish clsy, mixed with etraw, and sun- burned, like the bricks made by the Israelites of ©ld. Poriigns of the wall are now in possession of & gentleman of Madison. In the Town of - Harrison, the ancient camp- dng-ground of Blackhawk and his tribe, the monnds sssume the form of turrets, and of co- Jossalmen. At the westera section of the town, *the road runs directly across the figure of a gi- gantic man, in 3 recumbent attitude, several bundred feet in length. The effigies are sup- posed to be eignificant of the names of coriain Hyravea.” F i " Explorations of the animal-thaped mounds on the Fox River prove conclusively that thoy were the depository of the desd. Human bones were found with roots and fibres growing through them, snd were distributed throughout the . monxds ; and it is- equally evident the bodies wero Jaid upon the ground, end earth hesped upon them. No appearance of elevation is vis- iblo anywhere, nor are relics found below the altitude of the surrounding surface. Mr. *Bringer, who describes the mounds extending from the Red River to St. Louis,—a distanco of 500 miles, —suggesta that these are tho ruins of. sucient dwellinge, constrncted on the old Mexi- can plan of large bricks covered with earth, which, mouldering down, left these mounds. ‘What an immense population, he observes, must kave occupied these dwellings, which cover so _Jarge & portion of the Continent!. Other antiquarians state that the square and - pyramidsl mounds occur most frequently at the South, and ¢hat there is material difference in’ ~the constractioz of mounds in Georgia and Flor- _ids from those of Ohio and Kentucky. The Carlisle (By.) Mercury, of yecant date, aayB tht several mounds were recently explorad on the farm of Mr. Harricon Whaley, near Aoor- field. Beveral kulls were found, and other ‘bones, which, from their great size, must have belonged to a race far more gigantio than that which now inhabits the earth, Clay utensils ‘were found, arrow-heads cut from the solid rack, also pipes of the same material. At least 15 scres have a multitude of bones & few inches bo- low the surface. The Chattanooga (Tenn.) Union reports thata Mr. William Staples, while digging » salt-lick on ‘his farm, 12 miles from Kingeton, struck & solid rock of limestone 7 feet below the surface, and in it & well 8 inches in diameter, filled with eelt water. Investigating further, he found a lino of salt-kettles, or rather remains of kettles, of stone-ware, 40 in number, 3 feet in diameter, and 7 feet below the suriace. Growing about them were oaks and poplars, evidently two con- turies old. y Mr. Raffenesque states that, in an ancient walled town near Columbia, Tenn., are many ruins of houses, ranging in size from 10 to 20 and 80 foet in diameter, all of circular form. But these relics of a lost nation are not alone confined to the mounds. Thero is abundant evidenca that the Lake Buperior copper-mines were worked at some far-distant period, with conclusive indications of & knowledge of mining a8 pursued at the present dsy. Vatous tools were discovered which eould not reasonsbly be referred to Indian mannfasturss stone ham- ‘mers in quantity equal to ten cart-losds, made of green-stone or porphyry-pebble, with single and double grooves, by which & witho was &b- tached ; copper gad with Pattered head; cop- per chisel with socket for handle; copperknife ; fragments of wooden bowls for dipping water ; levers of wood for raising copper to the surface, —all denoting work performed by & peopls of ‘whom there is neither record nor tradition. ‘Pits were found 14 fest in depth, extending in » continuous line, at ono place 12, st another 80 miles; and on one mound of earth thrown out of s pit grew a- hemlock tree 10 feet in circum- forence. The annular growth of o tres cut from another mound counted 395 years. Anotlier pit, on Tale Royale, had been worked throngh solid rock 9 feot, the walls being perfectly emooth. Is there any connection between these monnds and the copper bracelsts -found in the mounds of the Mississippi Vallay ? ‘Who were these people? Whence did they come? " How did they pasa away, leaving in the ‘bosom of Mother Earth only traces of their ex- istence? Conjecture is fruitless. A the dis- covery (?) of this Continent, “the mighty onk, by whose immovable stem X stand and seem slmost annihilated,” then waved its green coronsl sbove thelr resting-place. The Name- less Dead ! Wil this vast nation, With ifs conat- less cities, b one day numbered with them? In the march of sges yet imprisoned in the womb of time, may not another race of men stand above our sepulchres, and spoculate tpon tho sleeping dead, as they disentomb rude relica of the semi-civilization of & ninsteenth cenfury? ‘Whether these myaterious remains be fortifica- tions, dwellings, or sspulchres, they prove the existence of s race that covered this Continent, niore numerons than that of the ssvage tribes that snccesded them; yeb £0 utterly are.they swept away. that even tradition is mute, and wo gaze with feelings of mingled wonder aud sad- ness upon- thess yude tokens of o nameless nation. AZTALAN. FATHER O'KEEFFE. BY MARGARET ¥. BUGHANAN. A civil-ecclesiastical case has recently been brought before the British Parliament by M. Bouverie, M. P., involviog the principles at issue botween Bishop . Whitehouss and Mr. Cheney, whose long-pending suit opened a new chapter on Wednesday last, before Jtidge Will- iams, of the Circuit Court. Thoreia this dif- ference, however, in tho respective bsses of action: Mr. Cheney’s counsel desires that the civil authority shall decide what s the doctrine of - the Protestant lipis- copal Church in the United States, upon the written and other evidences supposed tocon- tain that doctrine, before adjudicating upon the equity or legality of the Bishop's suspension and Qeposition of Mr. Cheney ; that is, Judge Will- iams is to assume the tinrs and the keys, and define doctrine betara exyrau;x;:g a:: opinion DR%B® SR e sation b oo of dhiipline purely. He does not deny that his own Bishop, Cardi- tual or temporal, in the Quce: and that the Court conld not admif script s & privileged communication, because of. the Elizabothan statute, occupied the most con- spicnous place in the opinions of the four Judges, each of whom spoke for himself. Justice Barry conteuded that the Elizabothan statutes hed ‘been repealed, explicitly - or -implicitly,- by the legislation of the last eighty yours. Justico Fitzgerald denied that s subject, priest or lay- man, could contract away bis civil rights to's Charch; and; while' agreeing with Judge Barry that the policy of legislation for eighty years hios been contrary to the Elizabethan statutes, he maintained that the exercige of spiritusl au- thority by the Pope in British domain is still for- bidden by Iaw. But he agreed that the demurrer wag without merit. Justice O'Brien asserted that the object of the Elizabethan statutos was to extirpato the Catholio religion; and arguod that the rocognition. of that religion, in vari- ous relief acts passed, is & virtual repoal of the remaining portion of the statutes. Chiet Justice Whiteside, in giving judgment in favor of the demurrer, said that it scemed to him & ‘non-scquitur to clsim that, becanse religions ‘bodies may exist by contract within tho reslm, therefore foreign jurisdiction cannot be intended longer to be excluded. In fact, the Chief Jus- tice feared that “ This was the country, aad this the time, to recover and reassert an anthority long repudiated and forbidden.” The Conservatives in the Parlisment will ua- Qoubtedly do their best to harass the Govern- ment with thorns from the hedges iuto which O'Keoffo has leapsd, to his spiritaal disgraeo ; and the Liberals will not thank Chiof Justice Whitesido for assuring them, at thia juncture, that religious equality is still denied by law in tho British Empire. . ; The astutoness of Father 0'Keoffo’s counsel, in bringing to ‘bear upon a legal action in 1873, in Father O'Keeffo's defense, the force of stat- utes enactod in the days of Queon Elizabeth, for the express purposo of exterminating Father O'Feeffe'areligion, is only equaled by the clever- ness of Mr. Melville W. Fullar, who, in his re- cont application before Judge Willisms for sn extension of time, proposed to prove that Bish- op Whitehouse has not suspended or doposed Mr. Chenoy, -and could not suspend or depose Mr. Cheney ; and to prove this on the suthority of His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, His Lordship the Bishop of Exeter, the Very Rever- end the Desn of Westminster; and by citations from the history of the esrly Church, the Apos- tolio canons, the effeot of the Reformation on Church law, the canon Isw of England, and the history, canons, and constitntion of the Protest- tant Episcopal Church in the United States. In response to the offer of the testimony thus to be submitted, Jndge Williams stated—intending gravity; and not naivete, no doubt—that he had not until now fuily comprehended the merita of ' the Whitehouse-Cheney caso. But what surprises one is, that Mr. Foller said notbing of summoning the Venerable Bade. It.is incomprehoneible that he should ignore Dunstan, Abbot of Glastonbury, Lanfrano, and Thomas s Backet, esch of whom would be an invaluable witness on the question betwoen Mr. Cheney and the Bishop, no less than upon the other question, as to what Judge Willisma has to do with the spiritual affairs of the Protestsnt Episcopal Church. It is not clear why bo says nothing of Cmdmon and *Beo- wulf;" why he does not subpena Arch- bishop Walfstan, whose Latin name was Lu- pus, snd Elfric, the stronuons defenders “of the English Church, against Pspal pretensions, in the eleventh century. Very pertinent testi- mony can be fonnd in Willism of Malmesbury's “* De Gestis Pontif, Angl. ; ¥ and the sermons of Peter the Hermit should not have been forgot- ten. 1t is singular that Mr. Foller made no al- Insion to the compromise effected betwean Henry 1. and Popo Pascal IL, through the agency of Anselm, on the subject of homage and investit- ure ; and it was nothiug Jess than stupidity on the part of Mr. Fuller not to put the Koran in evidence. e HYMN TO SANTA RITA, TIE PATRON SAINT OF THE DIMPOSSIDLE, breind iy Banta Rita! hear my prager, Long have I, with ardor leal, Sought the maiden of my | the Right Bov.

Under the Nationsl School statute, this position gave him coutrol of the State schools of hig parish, and the handling of pome tisx-payors’ money. He was mot satisfied with the National schools, and entered ints negotiations with some Frenchmen yith a ‘view to opening & yonog lidies’ seminary in Callan. Bishop Moran disapproved of the idea, snd intimated that he wasniot a proper person to hsve nuns under his control, Wherpupon Father 0"Keeffe broughtaction forslander against the Rishop, who éompromised, with much sore« ness of spirit, by paying £600 to O'Eeedle for his logel expenses. Bubsequently he brought a second action of like nataro against the Bishop, and lost; buf compelled one of his curates to pay £200 for intimsting that he misused parish s d But, when he brought his firat civil action against the Bishop, he violated what is a universal canon of the Roman Catholic Church; what is now s canon of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the ‘United States ; and has long been & canonof the Charch of Scotland, of the Wesleyan Methodists, and of the Quakera, e Larger Catechism of the Scottish Church quotes Bt.

Rome. - Meanwhile the Bishop suspended him, and O'Kecffe refused to recognize the sus- pension.” Cardinal Cullen tried amiable measures to coax him out of Bishop Moran’s diocese ; and, OKeefle scornfully reisting, the Cardinal confirmed the Bishop's suspension by & rescript from Rome. Whereupon O'Koeffo ‘brought sn setion for libel against Cardinal Cul- len. Tne jury decided against O'Keeffe, who de- murred to tho verdict, and appealed to tho Irish Court of Queen’s Bench. Tho four members of the Court are’ Lord-Chief-Justice Whiteside, 8 ‘Protestant, and Justices O'Brien, Fitzgerald, apd Bary, Catholics. The last three decided tho de- murrer untenable and without merit, and thus the Cardinal won a sscond time. O'Keeffe instantly brought the issue beforo the Governraent by a resolation in the Commons to,inquire whether he is not de jure manager of the National .schools of. Callan.

The Early Trials of a Great German Artists Rome Correspondence of the New York Times. A few of the older and cooler men alone sit by and smilo a8 they recall their own days of fiery indignation at a world that failed to appreciate their genius, and at the preferencs it showed to men who, in their opinion, deserved such on- coursgement lesst of all. Ocoasionslly, also, one of these elder mombers is prevailed upon to lothis frienda catch a glimpse of his own ex- perience, snd thus it was that, on a recent occa- sion, & great German, accidentally finding him- eelf in such company, told the young artists the instructive story of s well-known and emi- nent sculptor. As it illustrales the trisls to which even men of geniua are but too often exposed, and tesches the lesson that self-made men are not, 83 80 many believe, a pecu- liar institntion of our own country, the outlines ot loast may here bestated. The artist was a poor peasant's son, barn in a remote province of the Kingdom of Prussia. For years he worked as a common field-kand for hig uncle, a small but well-to-do farmer, and as he had never been to school, and could neither read nor writs, he passed his Sundsys in carving every bit of wood he- conld procure. Hia uncle died, foget- ting to provide for his poor nephew; the little farm was 80ld, and the youth sent out into the wide world. Ho went to a carpenter in & neigh- boring town, who had once praised his work, and enter his service a8 an apprentice; bot sll of his Bunday he &pent in the bandsome old cathedral, examining the Gothic arches, and the cerved stalls of the canons, and tiying to copy them st home, in his master's workshop. Fortunately, there came occasionally old furniture to be repaired, and ss the carpenter_was not a cabinet-maker, Be lett the quaint chairs and chests of drawers to his apprentice, who thns was enabled to train his eye, aud to become a better judge of such work, At Iast he ventured npon carving, firat & bouguet of flowers and then an infant Christ, which was sccidentally noticed by a great lady who came to inquire after some orders ehe had iven. Bhe took the two carvings and showed em to the Governor of the Province, who waa 80 much struck with the skill and the talent they d.\:g?yed that he sent them to Berlin. A w ler orders came tbat tho artist shonld bo sent to the capital, where he would be entered at the academy, and his traveling expensos were advanced. of Joy, ho atartod, his knapsack on his shoulders, and the generous gift of 816 in hia pocket, on his jonrney of more than S00 miles! = But his first lenco in Berlin waa .little encourag- ing; when the Professors heard that he was 30 years old, they refused to receive him, and the great Bauch candidly advised him to re- turn to the plow. 1t s0 happened, however, that ono Of tho masters thero had himself bogan his career guite as late in life; he took pity on the poor ant, and prosented him to the Di- rector. ep the latter heard that the new pupil was a full grown-man, he replied that at Tomt time of Lifo fo had already been a great man, having s wifo and children at home, but when he was shown the flowera and the infant Ch.r'ut"hn ssked rudely : * Whore did you learn tuat?” “I nover Jearnt anything, Bir." ** Bnl‘ I mean, what scademy have you atiended?” ‘The poor fellow had neyer he of au academy, and did pot understand the question. ‘I mean who taught you wood-carving?” ‘I learnt it by myself, Siz.” Now he was intereated, and congented, st last, shaking his head ominously, that he might enter tho drawing-class on trial. The poor man found himself there amid little boye who_plagued him sorely; his heavy hand ‘was unable to use a pencil to advautage, and he waa soon transferred to the modeling-room. Here he felt easier, for ho conld #mead tho clay, and soon lost tho sense of oppression which . had so far weighed him down. For two years he worked indefatigably, but at the expiration of his term he only felt how much there was still to learn, while his native place expected him o return as an sccomplished mas- tes. Still he determined to continue, but where ware the means ? For many days the sunshine was, 88 ho said, the only warm dish he enjoyed, and often and often he was reduced to his last peos. One dsy he was literally starving, when elp came most unexpectedly. ~ He had, n 8 fit of despair, made the modh of & plow, a tool which, &3 & peasant, he thought he ought to un- dorstand botter than _anybody else, and_frionds hed sent it to anexhibition. - Fortunataly it ob- tained a prize, and ashe rose fromhig knees, hay- ing invoked God's aid, s letter was brought in containing the icont sum of $200.° This amount ensbled him to remain two years longer in Berlin, which he devoted to mamfig&. study, and incessant efforts tb improvehis akill. The sale of a carved crucifix fumished him the 1means of going to italy, where he first worked in s quarry in Carrars, and then, with his scanty eavings, went to Rome. But here now dificul- tiea arose; he could, after s manper, support ‘himself by mending casts and sssisting artists, Dbut whers shonld the money come from to pay for models, marble, and the indispensable tools. Heo had finished & Christ on the cross, butno- body would buy it, &nd once more starvation stared in his face. It waa the third day on which he had eaten nothing, when hewad sitting in shoor despairin his dark work-shop, an empt ‘ban, staring at his Christ, aod unable to worl or even to rise. He was sunk in gm or when a horsemsn passed by, stopped, looked at the carvod Sgure a long time, asked if it were for sale, and rodo off sgain withont saying A word, A friend happened to como in soon after, and 8seeing the artist's condition, bought him & fow penny's worth of bread.

Hg stood utterly overcome .by his good fortune till thslelnd all loft, and then hastened home, hiding his treasure under his torn mantle. To the oud of his lifae, he eaid, he would remember the' delight with which he sent for a hot'cup of coffes, and indulged in- two small loaves of broad!

It was s Sundsy morn- ing, and ho sought rolief in urgent praver, when two wandering mechanics, Germans, hap- ned to catch & glimpse of his work and asked eave to come in and seo the group.
