A Statuette of DeSofO.
memphis Appeal

Dr. Rivers, of Pamela, Mississippi, has
IA wonderful work of the scuptor's art.
1t is nothing more nor less than stat
uette of Fernando DeSoto. In any
event tile letters ''t. D.n are cut upon
the pediment. The whole body is
carved from solid locust, the hardest
and most epdurable wood that grows
in southern forests, while the pediment
is a piece of blackjack, with the bark
on it. This bark is somewhat decayed,
but besides this the wonderfully
wrought statuette is as faultless as
when deposited in a box of dry sand
and buriedin q mound eight miles south
of the city. 1t was found by negro
woman, who sold it for calico dress.
DIR. Rivers afterward secured it.
AS curious archaeological discovery,
If genuine, it outvies all the urns and
vases and idols of mound builders.
Photographs taken by Armstrong may
be had by the curious in such matters.
Copies will be sent to eastern scholars,
and one to CASTELAR,, the master of the
so-called Spanish republic. If this be
an original likeness, which we do not
believe, of DeSoto, and the photograph
compared with painting on Grenada
and Madrid may tell, the genuineness
of the statuette, as the production Of
one of DeSOtos followers, may be de-
termined. John Quincy Adams de-
clared and almost proved that DeSoto
never discovered the Mississippi, and
that Spain held any title whatever to
any portion of this valley.
If this statuette be truthful repro
duction of the old hidalgo the fact that
DeSoto beheld and crossed the Missis-
sippi is incontestibly established. The
Spanish sombrero, the rapier, the short
flintlock musquetoon, the long drink
ing cup upheld in his left hand by the
acquiline-faced Spanish knight, all
suggest the genuineness of the curious
relic of three hundred and thirty-two
years ago. Whether genuine or mod
ern, it is somewhat marvelously
pretty work of pains-taking taste and
art

CrenntOry Jokes.
From the New York Tribune


1t is q noteworthy fact that the new
question of cremation has given rise to
great deal of rather irreverent joking
in the newspapers, and unless men can
he induced to consider the matter seri-
ously, it is hardly probable that we
shall adopt burning in the place of
burying. What shall we say of writer
in Georgia who proposes to bleach the
bones of the dead and hang them in
glass case in the front parlor? lie
even adds: ''Funeral expenses might
be eventually recovered by selling OIL
these dry bones to the manufacturers of
superphOsphates.n II is remarkable
that thus far so few persons have come
seriously to the defense of the sepulcher.
1t is very far from being true that
nothing is to be wisely said in support
of it, or that men have merely blum
dered into this nett cd of disposing of
the dead. 1t has certainly some ad-
vantages over urn-burial, and among
these is that of permanence. The
grave is a good and safe custodian, in
spite OF the resurrection men. The urn
Is personal property, and may be easily
destroyed or lost. A grave is real
estate, and, to some extent, entailed
real estate. 1t may be desecrated, but
it Is not likely to be. 1t may be sold
for other purposes, but If it Is its con.
tents are usually cared for and trans
planted. 1t is local habitation; and
this is point which il will be impos-
sible to ignore, though it may not be
regarded as conclusive.

WASHINGTON
Brooks Declines 10 ACcede TO
Terms Proposed By the
President.
4 Resolution introduced In the
House for the appointment
OF q Military Governor
or Arkansas.

WASHINGTON, May ia reply has
been received from Brooks declining ia
accede to the terms proposed by Presi-
dent Grant, through the attorney gem
eral.
The question will be the subject of
cabinet consultation to-day. 1t is very
probable that the general government,
after having eXerted its best influences
for the preservation Of peace and re-
storing political harmony at Little
Rock, will now decide definitely on the
ease, and that means will be taken to
have the decision enforced against any
opposition.
In the house a resolution was offered
by Mr.. Num- of Tennessee, and re-
ferred to the judiciary committee, for
the appointment of Il provisional gov
ernor of Arkansas.
A resolution was offered by Mr.. Fort
of Illinois, and adopted undera sus-
pension of the rules, that t an increase
of taxation be necessary it shall COM
mence with the taxation of individuals
and corporations on their incomes.
The answers from Brooks and Baxter
will come to the president and be sent
by him to the attorney general. There
is little probability OF getting their
substance tonight.

II ANYBODY in November, 1871, had
told John Nicely Bryan, while he was
unpacking his ponies .on the blufl
where Dallas Is now holrlshing
young city, that within less than thirty
three years there would be on his then
wilderness camp ground, town OF
over ten thousand Inhabitants, and IN
assemblage Of two hundred and fifty
ministers Of n single christian denom-
ination, he and his worthy companion
would have felt that II was the yagary
of a lunatic. Yet to-day 1t is verified
and ten thousand citizens, domiciliatod
ON the same ground with palatlal edl-
fees, steam whistles, church spires, u
magnificent iron bridge, stately gram
lite court house, and railway cars rush.
ing north, south and east, with electric
communication with every civilized
nation Of earth, so to show that our
pioneer settler-the founder of our
present peaceful abode--was the I'M
written instrument in the hands of
Providence for founding the seat Of a
great and prosperous community.
That honored instrument, without
spot or blemish, is our fellow
citizen to-day, honored by all who
know him, for life Of toll, unmingled
with dishonor, but adorned by truest
hospitality, n vertable type Of the men
who, from the landing at Jamestown,
in 1907, and Plymouth Rock in 1920,
have pioneered in the march of civili-
cation, and at all times and under all
circumstances, held aloft the banner
OF civil and religious liberty, even
when those in the rear trampled ii
under foot. To-day the disciples of
Roger Williams hold council in our
town-the honored guests of men of
different christian faith-many for the
first time viewing the unrivaled plains
of north Texas. The results of their
visitation may be known only to the
all-seeing eye Of Him who appeared in
dazzling glory to Moses on the Mount;
but we mortals of to-day are fain to
draw courage from it, and to hope for
great things for our portion of a COM
mon heritage.
