A RELIC OF A PREHISTORIC AGE.
Cincinnati Gazette.


We were this morning shown, by Mr..
Joseph B. Chapman, of this city, an inter
esting relic of the very distant passages
prior to the Indians who inhabited this
Western World when the white man first
intruded himself among them. 1t was a
stone image of monster frog, much larger
than frogs now grow, very SIX lfully carved,
and resting on roundish base. A hole an
inch deep had been cut in the middle of the
back, in the shape of the bowl Of pipe,
into which another smaller hole had been
cut from the pOsterior, evidently for the
pipe-stem. As the image weighs about two
pounds, the smoker must have been giant,
or enjoyed his luxury fiOm a rest.
This curiosity was found few days since
by Ev. Roberts, on the farm of Moses Kelly,
ON the east bank of the Little Miami, near
Waynesville. The locality was on the top
of the high range of hills extending from
Fort Ancient up the river. This region is
noted for the mounds and buried relics of 8
prehistoric race. Mr.. Roberts, hearing a
dog barsing in the woods, went out to see
what was the matter, and found the dog had
!un a grounding into his hole, and he was
scratching upthe earth to get at him. While
aiding the dog with a spade be discovered
some decayed bones and other unusual sub
stances, and finally shOveled out this stone
relic. 1t has been shown to Judge Force,
Mr.. Skinner, and others of this city who are
experts in such things, and they pronounce
it genuine relic of the Mound builders.

attention to the great credit due to the
President, Rev j. B. ShearTe, d. D., for the

from Virginia four years ago, and threw
himself heart and soul into the movement
for a grand Presbyterian school in the
Southwest. He recognized Stewart Col

ablest Professors and spared neither time
nor expense of bringing it up TO the level

BEAUTY'S ADORNNIENTS.
Hebrew Bellies Dress Now as they did
under Solomon.
A. uf,af nrrffl, Inrr,aI

under Solomon.
From the B'nai Birth journal.
1t is an interesting fact and true to a
great extent that the style of dress and
ornaments of the Hebrew ladies of the
present day-and in fact the prevailing
toilet of all ladies-is much the same
as during the time of Solomon. With
all the changes and variationsOf eentu-
ries, the gradations Of chignons and
crinolines, we now find much of the
simple grace and easy symmetry of
ancient Greece.
The Scriptures narrate great many
things about the style of dress worn IN
the time of Solomon, and in the law of
Moses several directions are gwen con-
corning garments worn by the Israel
ties. In the Book of Judges the girls
of that period are described by Debo-
rah as "a prey of divers eolOrs of
needle work" while Lemuel says,
''Their clothing is of silk and purple"
In the frequent intercourse between the
Jewish and other nations the ladies,
tired of their primitive simplicity,
sought the fashions of the clever
Egyptians, the elegant Phenicians,
and the luxurious Persians. Even
patient Job became impatient at the
dresses. and Isaiah denounces the
''women of the period, F" living for moth.
ing but dress and Irritation, with the
one desire to 'see and be seen"
The tunica worn by the ladies in the
time of Solomon was much like the
polonaise of to-day, and the belt with
fancy clasps now worn are about the
same as the leather girdles and silver
buckles worn Of old. We also find re-
corded that trains were worn to dresses,
and that camels' hair shawls were COM
mon. Embroidered mantles, fastened
with golden pins, are also spoken of.
The hair was also oiled, dyed. and put
up in coils; little curls were let hang
over the forehead, and, strange to say,
the girls of Solomon s time, it is stated,
used paint.
Wells were worn, and sandals were
made Of blue and violet colored leather,
with fancy lachets. Solomon, as Is
related, said to Shulamite. How beau
tiful are thy feet with shoes. . princes
daughter 20 Hair nets were worn, and
earrings of all forms and much value
were very common. Bracelets on the
right arm, strings of pearls and heavy
gold chains around the neck, rings on
the fingers. and other ornaments. were
all worn by the ancient Hebrew ladies.
