ONE OF BRADDOCK's MILE-SToHEs.-IFro
the Frostburg J0urndLl-A stone situated
several hundred yards south of Frostburg
is an object of historic interest. With much
reason it is reputcd to have been erected in
this locality Ivy Braddock's army as marking
the first days march from Fort Cumberland
TO Fort Du Qucsne. 1t is lcgibly inscribed
in letters which clearly evince the style Of
English Typography prevalent IN that period.
Upon lis northern fuce it bears il sentiment
significant more OF patriotic determination
than the result tells of the execution of that
memorable march:
"Our Counhys flights We WtN Defend -
On the opposite or south side these SEN
tcnccS:
I'll Niles to Fort Cumberland"
"29 Miles 10 Capt. Sn,yth's Inn and
Bridqe-Big Crossings"
"The Best Road 10 Red Stone"
cod Fort, 81 Niles"
This stone. it is presumed stands as it was
erected By Braddocl;'s men, marking at its
location ut least the exact route pursued. No
trace, however, Of that route is visible. The
ground is thlrkly studded with underground
aud the surface shows no evidence OF having
been beaten 10y the march of regiments or
the roll Of artillery and other army carriages.
The stone itself exhibits some marks Of the
curiosity hunters hammer, but not enough
to deiacc it materially. The inscriptions are
easily read-tle single one upon the northern
and the first upon the southern face, if we
may presume again, being cut upon the ad-
Ua,.ce. the remaining ones upon the retreat
of tie army.
This circumstance. we may say. writes the
history or fhr p3,nuaiyu finished with
pride and assured of success by the splendid
martial array presented. some soldier en-
gravcd the patriotic sentiment upon this
"table Of stone" On the other side he
paced all he then knew of this hitherto I'M
travelled route" 1 / miles to Fort Cumber-
land Returning, he had nought TO add to
"Our Country's Rights We Will Defend"
Below this solemn blank expresses how
solemn was The defeat. The wonder is be
did moi ctacc entirely the motto Of advance.

PEOPLE USING TIE BOOMERANG
Colonel Fox in his address before the
ARCHAEOLOGICAL Subsection of the British
Association, refers to the use of the boom
erang in different countries, and remarks
that he has traced this primeval weapon of
the Australians to the Dravidian races of
the Indian peninsula and to the ancient
Egyptians; and he states that all these
races have been referred by Professor
Huxley to the AustrailOid stock, and that
q connection between the Australian and
Dravidian languages has been suggested
BY various philologists.
In reply.to the objection that the ORA
vidian boomerang does not return, like
the Australian weapon, he states that the
return flight is not matter of such prima-
nv importance as to constitute a generic
difference, the utility of the return flight,
due to the comparative thinness and light
ness of the Australian weapon, having
been greatly exaggerated The essential
principal of the boomerang consists in its
bent and fiat form, by means (which it
can be thrown with a rotary movement,
thereby increasing the range and velocity
of the trajectory.
In this connection the recent discovery
by DR.. Edward Palmer of the use of the
boomerang among the American Indians
possesses high interest. This gentle
man, in the course of his explorations,
found this to be the principal weapon
among the Moqui Indians of Northern
Arizona and New Mexico, replacing the
gun and the bow and arrow. 1t is used
more especially in killing rabbits, the mo-
ton by which it is thrown for this purpose
being similar to shat Of stone made to
skip on the surface of the water. At a
distance of twenty-five to thirty yards the
rabbit is rarely missed however rapidly he
may be moving. The animal furnishes
the principal meat eaten by these Indians,
while its skin is worked into rugs and
robes.
The wood ofwhich the Moqui boom
erang is made is obtained from the crook
ed branches of a species of walnut, procur-
ed by the barter Of sheep, corn, etc, from
the Navajoes, who own the locality 9TH ca
non of ChelIy) in which it is found
More recently the same weapon ha'
been detected, according to a communica
| ton to the California Academy of Sciences
among some Of the tribes of the California
Indians; and it is possible that further in
vestigation will show still extendel
use of it among the Indians.-EDIToR'

true intent and meaning of the pres
ent law that parties availing them
selves of it are entitled to all the ex-

near $500 worth of property, and
they are allowed to pick and Gull 1t at

will cover about $1,000. Verify, debts
