The GRAVE CREEK SToNE.-The antique engraved
stone found some years ago in the Grave Greek
mound on the Ohio has recently attracted attention
by The paper OF DR.. Willis de Hass read before the
Ethnologic Society OF New York. This very curious
reno Of antiquity, as Dr. Hass appears to have proved
~ to be, was noticed years ago by W. B. HOdg-
son, ESQ.,, Of Savannah in his F." Notes on Northern
AREA, the Sahara and SoUdan" The Baron Jomard
ana himself concur in the Numidian or African
origin OF this apidary inscription. The following is
an extract from MIR. HodgsOn's notes:
Near one OF the skeletons in the lower vault was
round the stone in question: with three lines of alpha
Deuc characters. IL s Of oval form, threefonrths

stone This is the only example, believe, OF ancient
alphabetic inscription in North America. The in
| sciiptions the Dighton rock and the pictorial
| writing of Mexico and Yucatan are symbolic, not
| alphabetie The history Of this tri,near lapdary
| inscription had at first regarded apOchryphal.
Mr.. SchOoicraft has, however confirmed it and de-
scribed the stone Who the gorgeous cheftain

aeenian African vessels which usually visited the
Fortunate or Canary islands, have been carried to
the New World The peopling of America is oute
as likely to be due to Africa and Europe as to Asia
History preserves the memory of the circumnayiga-
ton OF Africa by several expeditions The periulus
OF Hanno, the Carthagenian, was the subject of a
written narrative. With these historical indications

made desperate grasp at his knife, which was fas

being between the blade and the handle. But it was
too late. The hungry monster of the deep by
rapid movement, slackened the line and dashed
