The Vice President's condition is^iotimproved to-day. Yesterday he sat up fornearly eight hours ami numerous visitorswere admitted, and the consequence wasthat he beenme very weak and nervous, andwas restless last nlgnt and unable to sleepsoundly until nearly Ave o'clock this morn¬ing. To-day noadmittance has twen allowedto the sick chamber, it being necessary thathe have perfect quiet and repose. Mr. Wil¬son is not suffering any pain, but is restlessand nervous from over exertion.The National Thkater.The comedy

of "Self,-' with Its practibal American ideasasenfoic^d by that sound-headed embodi¬ment of thrifty-good sense "John Unit" wasptrWumed last night at the National in amaimer to gratify an unusually large andcritical audience. Mr. Owens, a great favor¬ite in Washington, of course made much ofthe part of "John Unit," and the pithy siy-ii gs «f that worthy, enunciated with suchunction by Mr. O., were applauded to theecho. But the feature of the evening wasthe unmistakable success of the youngWashington debutante, Miss MiunetteTl omp.'-oD. in the part ol - Mary Apex."'Young, graceful, pretty with an animated,expressive lace, she propitiated theaudience at fiist sight, and as theplay went on and she delineated theyoung heroine with the mixture ofvivacity, archness, loving devotion andpathos required by the part, the satisfactionof ihe audience was manifested by heartya» d continuous applause. 8'ie was callelbefore the curta'.u again and a^ain. and inthe last act was the recipient of numerousflcral tribute*. There can be no questionthat she ha* genuine dramatic talent. Theother parts of "Self" were well presenter,B1 d especially tbe part of "Mrs. CorduroyCoburr,' by the always excellent Mrs. tier-mon; that of "Mrs. Apex," hy MUs RoseOnburn, and that of "Mr. Apex,' hy Mr.I earsoii, who has already ta^en a lea lingposltlO" in tbe regards of Washington plav-loein. Miss Eugene Paul, Mr. Weber. Mr.Wallers and Mr. Kingsley were also verygood in the part* they took, as was also theyoung lady (Miss Gonzales,) wt]o p»r-f« rmcd the part of"Chloe." To-night "SjI:"is to be repealed.The Latest Ca innet cuaxoe Rumor.

The latest Cabinet change rumor is thatPostmaster General Jewell Is to reti re afterthe Christmas holidays and he succeede 1 byJohn New, the present Treasurer of theUnited State*. Mr. New, when asked by aStar reporter this morning as to the cor¬rectness of the report, stated that it was"poppycock." Behind this, however, therewas something In his manner which indi¬cated that tbe rumor was based upon possi¬bilities. and that be regretted It had beenmade public. He did not deny that he wouldprefer the duties of the proposed office muebmore than the one now exercised by him.Indeed, be Indicated in a negative way thatb? T°l!d the tender of tbe portfolioof the Post Office Department. Tue appoint¬ment of Mr. New, according to the rumor, isrecommended by Senator Morton, and issaid to be tbe outcome of a recent visit tu-»daHv him to this city, and at whicn time tieba1 an extended interview with PresiieatGrant.Among the reasons given bv Ma lame Ra.

mor for the change are the following: It Isassert"d that for some time past Mr. Jewellbaa not been in the most perfect acoorl withthe President, wbo bas overruled htm inseveral instances, notably in the case ofPostmaster Burt, of Boston, whom GovernorJewell desired to remove, and also In that ofex-Senator Pease, wbont he wantel to retainas postmaster at Vlcksbarg. It Is fartherasserted that Governor Jewell wa* not allpleased with the appointment of Sacretarv("hardier, and that he bas sturdily oppose'Jpolitical assessments In bis department.a heresy distasteful to leading republicans.It Is also known that In his fight against tbemall contract operators be incurred the bit¬ter enmity of Senator 8pencsr and severalother southern politicians, who have. It Issaid, done everything in their power toweaken bis lnflnenoe with the President ai ldrive him from the Cabinet. Having largebusiness interests to look after In Connecti¬cut. It Is understood that he bas bas not baenfor some time past particularly desirous ofrelainlrg a seat in the Cabinet.

AOTJLti or A SUMMEIt TRIP.VII.

A RAIKV TIM* In KIHTrnTT.St Swithin's Day was showery, and the

prophecy of forty days rnia traditionally at-t ictoed to that fact seemed this vear to be lathe process of fulfilment. The wet season inK*i tacky began about the is of July. Fromthis date there was scarcely twenty-fourhour* without greater or less rain fall, whichSf-rlounly interfered with the cutting andcoring of the harvest. The wheat shocked inti e fields began to sprout and rot, and it wasftared the crops would prove a total loss.About the middle of Jn)y, as I passed downthe Kentucky Central railroad, on my wayfar me. I observed a whole field of wheat inthe shocks, along the Licking river, sub¬merged by the flood which had extended overthe bottom lards.All day Sunday, and the last day of my

there were no breaxs'" J * !*i °,r Bl'mpse* of sunshine, but a« ntinued steady rain. This was a source ofgreat disappointment to me, as I ha I de¬signed making a survey of anA*CI1NT MOCND AND FORTIKIc ATIOJT,

situated in a field on the ".Spring Hill" es¬tate, known as the "Fort Field."? i,A.H.£ar a?i I am awa»^. this mound, al¬though well known to persons residing in\ ersailles, lias not been described, either byThomas L. Picket, esq., who has written -ointelligently upon the mounds of Kentuckyand the adjoining states, or by any otherwriter. Although I was deprived of thepleasnre of examing the fort, 1 was fortunate

8.^ ,b,av®. * conversation relative to itwith the elder l)r. Carter, of Versa,lies, whohas liv.sl almost within sight of It for overfifty years. Or. Joseph Coleman Carter was

.VT'.J'] A''*rni"rle county, Va., December-U1 <' " i s paren ts remove.! to Woo 1 forJcounty in 1Wi9, where the I)r. as l>oy and m tnhas lived ever since. After acquiring a gool»i'.K0TV, "?*li0rn he medicine

»?. i mf,ralie ®nd received his

med.cal depree in Ki2. From that time to thepresent he has been actively engaged in fiepractice of Ins professio.i In Versailles. Ttiefollowing is the substance of his remarks.

J'aerobe-s when these old works werewithin tie shadow of the dense for*st thathad existed here since the time the Indiansranged through them for same.

The quality or the soil in allparts excels expectation, so that exa*'edi¬tion of the beauty and richness of the "blusgrass region would be difficult.The whole territory of Kentucky, it will i)i>

remembered, belonged to Virginia at thetime of Its settlement, and formed a part ofHncastle county, Va.

account lor tlieereetiou of these rnonum -nts.Authors have vied with eacu other iu eu-

,!y:cr,r*e tiie proboble origin ofthe mound builders to some other land. Jo-biah I nest, in his "American Antiquities,"gravelv states bis belief, that -No^urs ai k"rested iu America, and that this continentwas the'-cradle of the human race." J.»hnMcintosli begins his account of the ancientmounds with a chapter on the .creation ofthe world," and claims that Magog, the sec¬ond son of Japhet, aud father of Ue .Scy¬thians, w as the founder of the ludian race !and, of cour-e. makes Magog come over from 'Asia by the favorite route. Behring's straiu.Mi. George Bancroft believes the mounds to

f*eaks of nature. He could see inthese ancient works but the ev idence of theexercise ol that -power that shaped the gloheinto vales andnifiocks," and after dismiss¬ing the subject of the mounds thus uncere-moniously, states attheeud of his chapterthat "the indigenous population orAmericaoffers no new obstacle uj faith iu the unityof the human race." A number of auinorshave written upon the subject, with a viewto advocate some special theory, rather thanto record or elicit new facts. But theongmof theirouud buil ters. as well as Ihatoi'theirsuc«*essors, the Indians, still remains a sub-

of speculation and inquiry.The Indian has been thought to resembleuie nnabiL&iiU of nearly everv part of tiieearth.the Hebrew, the Phoenician, the At-lantes frr.iu the east, ihe Touguslau, theChinese and tbe Polynesian from the w-^tare believed to have |K>opled America! !. isstrange that among the many theorists, s ,few of the speculators have suggeslel thatp*>ssibly the Mound Builders were ttie ('»-scer.dants of some primitive cutteiior ra ewho fcetued the <*ontinent. and tnat the In¬dians are but the degenerated sons of a peo-PhSJT'u. h9« t,1P'llfielvt*s 'teteriorated r-.».utheclvilization of the:r ancestors.ihe early exphirers of tne Mi"Hissippi val¬

America, the gr<at plains of the west. Uiewilderness of the east, and the dense cane-brakes of the south, constituted the vastbunting grounds of the Had Men. o.i theshores of the great lakes, by the ht:iks of thesilert streams, and in the depths ot the forestamidst the canebrakes, were found theremains of a race.the mound builders.tha'had passed away. That the works theyerected required for their completion a densepopulation, possessing resources other thanthe chase, cannot be doubted. They mustnot only have been a pastoral, but an agri¬cultural people, and somewhat skilled inmechanics. The mounds reveal the fact thatmany of the Implements, and the form or thesacrificial high places, were similar to tuoseof ancient Mexico. But

THE CAUSE OF THE DISAPPEARANCRof so numerous and powerful a race is mar¬velous, and may never be explslued.
