o. While engaged in excavating recently
upon the Milwaukee & La Crosse Railroad
near Schlengerville, Iowa, the workmen came
upon the petrifed remains of some relic of
olden times. The body was perfect, not hav-
ing suffered by decay. His height, at the pres
ent time, would be considered gigantic, meas
uring seven feet two inches. On his breast
was plate of copper, on which were engraved
hieroglyphics, the meaning of which can
hardly be imagined. Could these hierogIyphics
be read, they might perhaps unveil some of the
mystery which hangs like dark cloud over the
history of the red man. An arrow of con-
siderable strength and curious construction
was also found with him. and especially invites
the attention of antiquaries.

BALL or THE STRAWBERRY GIRLS.

The last hop Of the season in the late City OF VIII
Hamsburph was that Of the Strawberry Girl, or that
class Of females who gain livelihood by crying ber-
res and vegetables in the streets very large number
of nom reside in the Eastern portion of the City OF
BROOKLYN, known as Dutch town." The ball came
of at large German hall in the Sixteenth Ward and
ives attended by about one hundred OF the elite OF the
strawberry girls, many Of whom are quite handsome
Wien decked of in their holiday attire. The male
portion Of the company company consisted OF butcher
boys, wsgon-boys, Germans saoulder-mtters, lew
loeers and sprinkling OF shaDghais Onehaf Of the
hall was occupied with rows Of tables, to which the
ot Of the company repaired at the close Of each waltz
and refIoshed e1hausling nature with ? datlons OF
Iseer-besr and Rhine wine. Supper was announceda At
Il oclock the variety spread before the guests though
substantial, was limited-cold boiled ham and mus.
tard, salad coffee and bread price, Isl cents Aiier
supper there internission during which con-
versatiouel meeting Of the girls held and the pros
poets Of The strawberry crop were thoroughly can
vassed Il was decided that they too, a. well as the
uiddlenen. should conspire against all humanity 10
Keep I'D the prices. The most formidable opposition
they have to contend with would be the wagon-boys,
and although al present the best OF terms should
tie wagonbcys nure the trade b. reducing the prices,
they win retaliate b. severing the social ties which
exist between them. Dancing was r1srrnei and kept
up until tie break Of day with unaaggng spif, and
tie affair passed of in Satisfactory to all
corcerred.
Another hop Is looked forward to with great interest
smong certain circles it being the ball Of the bone

would fail n recognize the rsgpcker in this class OF
