A recent Oregon paper says: Several
ancient stone implements have been ex-
hibited in this Office by Rev. W. A..
Tenny, which excite considerable Gu
riosity. One is evidently papTock,
twenty-five and one-hslf inches long,
two and one-half inches wide and one
and one.half inches thick in the middle,
and is beveled each way to the edge.
On one end is a circular enlargement,
perforated by hole one.fourth Of an
inch in diameter, while the other end
tapers from the middle to a point. An
other specimen is seventeen inches long,
three and one-hslf inches wide, and two
inches thick in the middle, beYeled and
tapered like the one mentioned above.
This is Of light brown stone, interspersed
with black spots, and is about the hard
ness Of lime stone. This kind Of rock
is not found in this country. This latter
instrument is delicately finished, espe-
cially at the upper end, where a hole,
beveled at the sides, is cut with singu.
lar exactness. These Implements. with
quite a quantity Of others, Of different

Henry Watterson's letter to Courier-Journal.l
PARIS, July 25, 1873.
This letter shall be la Parisienne
The present year has produced but
two dramatic sensations worthy OF par
ticular note, La File de Madame Angot
and Aimee Desclee, the one a sparkling
comic opera, and the other an original
actress.
She made conclusive success in Lon
don, where she drew people away from
Patti and Nilsson, dividing the rush af-
ter novelty with the composition of M.
Charles lie Cecq
The streets Of Paris are breezy with
the airs of this letter. AS you are Ger.
tain to have it in America, may as well
give you an inkling of what it is.
The daughter of Madame Angot, to
begin with. is most whimsical young
person. Madame Angot herself, a jolly
old brigand, who hourished at the Thea
ter Francaise when Taleyrand was a
Bishop and Mirabeau played hazard at the
Cafe de la Regence, seems to have left
behind her when she died little else than
a very soiled reputation and Charlotte, u
girl child, whom the market people
adopted and brought up. 1t comes out
in the play that old Pere Angot shuffied
off the boards, as a matter of fact, some
two years before the birth of his daugh-
ter; so that when her mother died she
was an orphan indeed. At all events
she became the ward of the market
folk, who sent her to a frst.class school
and had her educated like a lady of
quality, as, perhaps, she may have
been. NJ LeCocqs piece opens when
Clairette, having returned from school
and established herself as a florist, is
about to be married to Pomponnet, the
barber, the husband selected for her by
her fathers and mothers of the market.
The old regime has passed away. The
revolution has come. 1t is the period OF
the Directory.
Clairette is loved by rascally Arab
OF song-writer by the name OF Ange
Pitou, who contrives to get himself in
and out Of prison two or three times
week, and, of course, this Ange Pitou
turns up on the nuptial occasion, and
finds means to stop the wedding. Clair
ette is overjoyed at once, and falls des-
perately in love with Ange Pitou. He
composes song extolling kings and as
sailing Barras. She sings it Ia capital
good song it is by the way, and is ar
rested as a seditionist, Thus the first
act closes.

ul.torr written On song.

II has been well said that the history
Of most European nations might be
gathered from their song. This is pre-.
eminently true Of Great Britain. Every
change in her public mind or political
state may be traced for centuries
through the floating fragments Of songs
aud ballads. The destroying war OF the
roses. the tumults Of the reformation, the
Spanish armada and the Protraoted
strife Of Cavalier and Roundhead, with
its intervening fear Of Catholicism, all
have been ehanted, down TO the revolu.
tion OF 1858, the Jaeobite rebellion and
the death OF Napoleon. Ii is strange 10
meet in these old airs and rhymes the
themes that agitated perished genera
tions, and are now scarcelyremembered,
but they are almost the only medium
through which glances can be caught OF
the mental history OF the masses, unre.
corded as il is by either sage or chroni-
cler. Legislators, especially in untaught
and arbitrary times, often put forth their
powers against adverse songs.

A Year ago the Wisconsin Dairymen's
Association decided to hold one regular
market day, at Watertown, in each
alternate week. The enterprise began
with somewhat discouraging prospects,
but took on o more favorable color tow ard
the close of the season. In the face of
encouragement the members Of the
Association adhered to the Determination
to put their product into the common
market and stand out for strictly cash
prices. The result of the experiment
has warranted them in continuing the plan
this year, and yesterday was fixed for
their first market day, to be continued at
inyervals of two weeks through the
summer. We have only to wish that
Wisconsin dairymen may soon see the
time when the quotation of their products
as "Western cheese" will not operate
against them to the extent Of one to three
cents pound Mil. Sentinel.
