The display at Assembly Hall is not
merely one to crafty the curiosity and the
love of beautiful forms and hues, but It Is
full of poetical interest and instruction.
One of the most obvious lessons is, that OF
the wide range Of fruits which almost any
district may be made to produce by skill
full culture. Every home may be surrounds
ed with such luxuries as no money can pur1
schase, by studying the capabilities OF the
soil and climate here for fruit ciilture.
1t is very instructive also to note how
soil and climate change the appearance,
size ard flavor of varieties. Thus the
Bartlett pear as grown in Virginia is nearly
double the SIZE Of those from New York,
and of superios quality, while the Cali
fornia Bartlett Is three times as large and
entirely different shape, but defective in
flavor. FFts ~ ~
The same will be seen ii comparing otheI
fruits. It is also very interesting to notice
that splendid collections appear on the
tables from localities where, twenty years
ago, it was supposed no fruits could BE-
grown. s lh

JOHN ROGERS, whose brown statuettes
have made him so famous, is a native of
Massachusetts,. In early life he was dry
goods clerk in Boston then he learned the
trade of machinist; but seeing boy
modelling figures in clay he determined his
vocation. In 1885,. still being poor, and
having no hope of supporting himself by
modelling, he went West and took charge
Of machine shop, in Hannibal, Mo. The
financial crisis of the next year carried him
to Chicago, where he was appointed clerk
of the city surveyors office. While there
he produced his first finished work. The
Checker Players, which was very well re-
ceiiyed, and followed by the Town Pump,
and the Slave Auction tb
Learning from an Italian the manner Of
making flexible molds for casting forms, he
went to New York, set up a studio, and
prospered. Rogers has produced about
forty groups in all, and has sold some fifty
thousand copies Of his works. 1t is said
that his next undertaking will be Bret
Harte's Heather Chinee. Before and at
the beginning of the rebellion, his friends
urged him not to choose political subjects
but he was loyal to the core, and declared
he would do his work as his heart and pa
triotism prompted, and the public could bu,

posed to be those of Indians Of remote
age and lost and forgotten race. The
bodies exhumed were of strange and re-
markable formation. The skulls were
nearly an inch in thickness the teeth were
filed sharp, as are those of cannibals, the
enamel perfectly preserved; the bones
were of wonderful length and strength
the .fenau- being as long as the leg Of an
ordinary man, the stature OF the body be-

Near their heads were sharp stone arrows,
stone mortars, in which their corn was
brayed, and the bowls Of pipes, apparently
Of soft friable soap stone. The teeth of
the skeletons are said to be as large as those
of horses. One of them has been brought
to the city and presented to an officer Of

The bodies were found closely packed to-
gether, laid tier on tier as it: seemed.
There was no discernal ingress into or
egress out of the mould. The mystery is,
who these giants were to what race they
belonged, to what era, and how they came
to be buried there. 10 these inquiries, no
answer has yet been made and meantime
the ruthless spade continues to cleaye skull
and body asunder,, throwing up in mingled
masses the bones Of this heroic tribe. We
hope some efforts will be made to preserve
authentic and accurate accounts Of these
discoveries !; and to throw some light, If
possible, on the lost tribe whose bones
have been thus rudely disturbed from their
sleep in earth's bosom.
