IDOLATRY IN ILLINOIS.

Mr.. Thomas NJ. Perrine, of Anna, H., has
for the last five years given his attention to the
acquisition of American antiquities, and has
dug from the ancient mounds and burial
grounds of Southern Illinois the finest collec-
tion, perhaps, in the State. 1t is composed, in
part, of agricultural implements, formed out of
flint, pipes, jugs, faced and straight-necked ar
rows, bone and flint avis, axes, pestles, stone
tube afoot long, which sounds like horn, ard
perhaps was used for calling ancient armies to
battle, idols of various kinds, together with
many curious things hard to name or divine
the use of.
A few days since, as Mr.. Perrine was ex-
ploring well-known mound situated west of
Anna, in Union county, he came upon q piece
Of sculpture that seems to have been q heathen
god of great antiquity. The impression 1t gives
the beholder is that of a mans head set upon
an infants body, with its legs bent under it,
and hand resting on each knee. 1t weighs
forty pounds, and is thirteen inches high. The
chin is prominent, mouth and nose large, and
eyes full, with the perceptive large and the re-
fective faculties only medium. A braided
crown or garland crosses the head, terminating
in front of each ear. The rear portion of the
Uranium being entirely wanting, gives IL q fiat
and uncomely aspect. Around the head and
neck 1t bears evidence of considerable skill In
design and polish, though the extremities are
still marked with the sculptor's tools. It is
formed out of solid, translucent rock, foreign
to this continent, and at what remote period it
was chiseled must forever remain q mystery,
as it has outlived the race that may have bowed
in alteration before it.

Pilker, promising to drop in about daylight.
Went in about six o'clock and Pilker was flying
around Ike lunatic, piling on coal and pine
knots, pouring turpentne and coal oil on the fire
and stirring up the whole with long poker,
while the man at the side was jerking his body
back and forth, clicketS eiaek, like a cotton
gin.

That was yesterday morning. We have used
eleven barrels of coal and q load of wood, and
that machine is still revolving, with no change
perceptible on the part of the tenant. It is
awful to think of, and it is the first instance
ever heard of where person wouldn't cremate.
Those chills must take q terrible hold on the
system, am sorry for poor Pilker, because 1t
is family matter with him, but will get all

FOREIGN NOTES.

Geneva is becoming popular as resort for
invalids. At no distant day, says the Cont
mental Herald, it will have its foreign colonies,
as have Dresden, Brussels, and several other
Continental cities. It would be hard to find
place in which there is less average illness.
Epidemics seem to pass over it without an
attempt to gain foothold. Cholera has never
been known there.
The great Exeter cathedral case has been
settled. 1t is decided that images are Illegal,
and that alto reliero figures come under the
head of images. The bishop, therefore, ordered
the removal of the reredos and the substitution
of the Ten Commandments. At the same time
he intimated that he would grant a permission
for anything that would add TO the beauty of
the cathedral, SO long as it was not illegal.
A scheme is on foot for the establishment in
Liverpool of Crystal Palace, with Winter
Gardens attached. 1t will be modelled on the
plan of the Crystal Palace at Sydenham, and
most of the features which have made that re-
sort SO famous will be here reproduced. It is
intended to construct large aquarium, and to
have geological gardens and spaces for out
door recreation attached to the palace. Sew
eral of the leading men of the town have sig-
niaed their approval of the scheme, and pro-
posal will in a short time be laid before the
corporation for establishing the new institution
within or in connection with one of the public
parks.
The institution of Christian Brothers now
numbers about 1000 members, and its import
ance is constantly growing. The education sup
,,lEo II a. has Al q. of n
very high order. 1t furnishes candidates for
the civil service in England, and qualities stu
dents for matricuiation at the universities of
Oxford, Cambridge and London. In the United
States 1t has educated many members of the
learned professions, who are now doing well,
and the cost of its teachingi is extremely reason
able, and the diet of the students liberal and
good.

CREMATION " ST. LOUIS.

A correspondent of the st. Louis Republican,
relates some of the difficulties attending Gre
nation in the following graphic, humorous,
and ''chilliny" style:
\ Mr. EDIToR-DEAR SIR: This is confidential
and not for the public eye. / think can trust
you, and perhaps you can advise me. am
to the coroner's ears l shall have to leave
town and Join the Arkansas army for safety.
Mr.. Pilller, a next-door neighbor of mine,
has got his mother-in-law in hot place, and
fear that am "particeps eriminis." Mrs
Widdles is the mother of Pilker's wife; she was,
mean; don't know what she is now. Mrs
Widdles has been afflicted with Antartic con-
gestiye chills every other day for five months
and seventeen days up to last Thursday. She
had them awful. Pilker tells me that on her
chill days his house, in the hottest summer
weather, was like refrigerator, and by the
middle of the afternoon the window-panes
were frosted. She got SO cold sometimes that
the milk froze in the cellar and the cat would
sit on the hot stove to get warm.
On her well days Mrs. W. made things as
hot in the house for Pilker as any other duti-
full mother-in-law.
When reached within half square ofhomt
on Thursday, began to shiver and knew that
Mrs. Widdles must have an extra attack. II
few minutes Pilker came into my house and
announced that she had chilled for good and
all.

THE TRoUBLE OF THE TARTARg.

The Tartars Of the Crimea have never been
much attached to the Russians. and their hatred
Of the service is so great that amongst them the
word Hsoldiern is q term Of reproach. A cor
respondent of the Moscow Gazette says that they
afraid Of being forced to eat pork, and Of being
called on one day to fight their co-religionists,
the Turks. AS they dare not leave en- ndsse,
they obliged to 60 away stealthily one by one.
thence It is not difiicult to get to Turkey. The
young go first. Those who have any property
try 70 sell it, or they give It away, or even aban-
don Il altogether. They are selling their land at
o shilling en- acre. In order to have no ties, the
young men do not marry, or II they have family
they leave them behind on the chance Of them
joining them ct future time. They neglect
their fields and gardens, and think only Of
scraping together what money they can, and get

his powers of description are marvellous, his
