A PREHIsToRIC RACE IN TIE CHAM.
PLAIN VALLEY.-Fragments of pottery,
made by race that inhabited the Cham
plain valley prior to the Indians have been
unealthed. Professor Perkins read paper
on the pottery of this race at the recent
meeting of the Social Science convention in
Buffalo. The following abstract of his
paper appears in the reports Of the associa-
ton 10 the daily papers "Perhaps no more
than six or seven complete jars Of prehis-
toric origin have been unearthed and pre-
served, though many more have been found
and then, from sheer ignorance, destroyed
Still it is plain that the ancient inhabit-
ants Of Vermont had used much earthenware
and that some of it was quite elaborate, all
though uniformly free from pictures of liv-
ing objects. The material employed is
mostly soft and unenduring clay mixed with
quartz with feldspar, and sometimes with
numerous scales Of mica its color is dark
red, brown or black The ornaments were
usually placed on fiat surface. and rect
angular. The size is very slight, and no Jar
contains more than twenty quarts its thick.
ness ranges from two to five inches. Most
of this pottery occurs along Lake Cham
plain and in Essex county. Pots of stea.
tite or any other stone are very rarely
found in Vermont, although they are not
entirely wanting. Yet these have little or
nament, except one which is adorned with
parallel dashes, thus: $685.. These
relics form slight, though not unimportant,
part Of the utensils used by the race that
| preceded the Indian inhabitants of Vermont
and North America"

In LIFE MAN PLAYS MANY PARTs.-Rev.
Edward Egglestou, writing of his summer
vacation to the Christian Union, gives the
following interesting sketch of noted man !:
"Of course | went fishing, not because am
a successor Of the apostles, but because
made this little village of Grafton my start
ing point, Here everything runs to fishing,
for this is the land of brooks aud trout. But
also because there is here one Of those men
of marked peculiarities who is apt to infect
others with his own hobbies. In a room
under the town hall you will find s. G. w.
who has been in his day wealthy man in
New York and one of the secretaries Of the
Century club, who has bought and sold in
Hong Kong, who has hobnobbed with Thack-
cray and the Grand Turk, has mined gold in
California aud has been in no ono knows
how many corners Of the world beside, and
who now in this remote region OF which he
is native sits down at his bench aud with
patient hand labor constructs the finest Of
6shing-rods. The art learned for his own
amusement in days Of prosperity is now a
business, and his delicate but enduring rods
are used from the woods Of Maine to the
waters Of Lake Superior. lie will show
you one that has eighty-two pieces Of bam-
boo in it, firmly wound with silk and Sc
curely fastened with shellao. l am not a
sportsman, but l have felt every nerve in
me tingle when have seen one OF these
slender rods double back upon itself in re-
sisting the powerful straining Of large
fish,

CENTENNIAL NOTES.

A mammoth excursion from Havana is
now on its way to Philadelphia.
The Commission continues its session, aud
will be occupied some time further with the
confirmation Of the awards.
General Washington's carriage, one of
Philadelphia build, and that used by the
general during the revolution, arrived at the
exhibition on Friday.
There was an $4,000 FIRE in Philadel-
phia last Friday very near the Centennial
grounds. 1t was with great difficulty that
a great panic was prevented.
The travel to the Centennial from Can
ada is immense. The trains Of the Central
Vermont railroad through to Now London
aud thence via Norwich Line to New York
are crowded daily.
On the Oath inst. the fourth of the series
of receptions, giveE by the governors Of the
thirteen original states Of the Union, will be
held by Gov. Tlden in the New York build.
ing. OF course there will be an unusually
largo gathering on this occasion, as everyone
will be anxious to see Uncle Samuel.
New York has moderately good state ed
iice, but it is hardly substantial or elegant
enough to be worthy Of the Empire state.
An effort will be made to have grand dis.
play of municipal bodies, corporations, work.
men, etc., on the New York day, thus fol.
lowing the example set by little Jersey.
A beautiful genealogical display is soon
to commence in Agricultural Hall. Fruit is
arriving from oil parts of the Union al.
ready immense contributions have been re-
ceived from Oregon, California, Iowa, ILL
nois, Ohio, and recently there was a iue in.
voice Of fruit from Bermuda. The Califor-
MAN grapes are among the most noticeable
articles yet sent. A beautiful bunch Of
Tokay, weighing three aud half pounds
is one of the best.
The delegation Of workmen from Ger
many reached New York by the steamer
Mosel and will begin its study of the exhi.
bition. There are nearly forty skilled
workmen and master mechanics in this com
pany, comprising engineers and draughts-
men, machinists, goldsmiths, printers, tin
smiths, and men classed as "technicists.
They will remain here about a fortnight
and will study very earnestly, with n view
to making report to the various associa
lions which they represent at home, and pos
sibly to the German government. Some lit
tie controversy is likely to be excited among
them by the scathing criticism which Prof
Reuleaux gave the Teutonic section Of tn,
exhibition before he left for home. Com.
mittees Of English workingmeu are expected
TO arrive here before the close of theIar.

Health at the Show.

Malarial diseases, such as typhoid and
other low fevers, are becoming prevalent
among the ianitors, laborers and police on
the centennial exhibition grounds and deaths
are getting SO frequent among these resi-
dents as to excite apprehension. 1t has
been matter Of complaint from the first
that there was very insufficient provision for
sewerage from many of the smaller houses
the restaurants, state buildings etc.-and
we have not heard that t,ese defects have
been remeded. Many of the visitors, DUR
ing the prostrating heat of the summer, have
suffered from diarrhpas and such complaints,
sometimes seriously, but we apprehend that
in the latter case overwoEk in sightseeing
aud imprudence in eating and drinking are
to be blamed rather than any peculiarly I'M
favorable influences in Paramount Park
quarter Of Philadelphia not heretofore re-
garded rs unhealthy, and which with proper
care ought not to have become 50. There
are likely to be troubles Of this kind, we
should say, in the thickl y-settled area Of
temporary hotels at the gates, which are now
crowded to the full limit of their capacity
all the time--the pruprietors often putting
three persons into a room only calculated
for one to occupy with safety. The expert.
ence of the ll3 Chinese youth whom Mr.
Northrop of New Haven took to Philadel.
phia shows plainly how to keep we'll and gel

They were advised to avoid ice-water ant
soda-water, to drink no Schuylkill water
(which is permeated with lime and sui phur'
unless purified by boiling and medicateC
with tea or coffee, to take their food regu
larly, and 60 to bed regularly and get {
long sleep each night. Mr.. Northrop say
that every one of them obeyed strictly, ant
not one Of them was indisposed in the leas
degree. If all the visitors would be as sen

The surprise Of the day has been the news
Of the capture of William W. (Boss) Tweed
in Spain, last week. Dispatches to that
effect we're received Saturday but few be-
leved the report until con6rmatory dis
patches were received Sunday. 1t appears
that Tweed, travelling under the name Of
Secor and his nephew, William Hunt, were
arrested on the ship Carmen of the coast Of
Vigo, Spain. and iucarcerated in the fortress
in that place. The Spanish government
were aware of Tweed's sailing for Spain
from Santiago de Cuba) and every arrange
ment made for his capture. Thus it would
seem, that, though there is no extradition
treaty between the two countries, that Spain
is willing to further the cause of justice by
delivering the great thief to the American
authorities The news astonished the New
Workers many Of whom were confident that
Tweed had never left the city while Others
were sure he was in England. Tweed will
receive warm WelCOme IL nc 0VeE EehCuoi
this country; there are % criminal indict-
ments against him. But we must not be toe
confident as to the probability of his return
for, as we said BEFORE there is no extraditior
between Spain and the United States, anC
Tweed may, possibly, find it very easy t.
avoid being sent to this country. 1t is very
doubtful whether Tweed has any fortune
that can be taken to replace his enormous
stealings. Some say that he is not worth I
cent, others that he is worth large amount
of money. But at any rate the officials o
New York will be glad to see him on tn
same principle that the boy illustrated whel
he said in speaking of fight in which h
had come off the victor. "He tore IN,
clothes all to pieces but l licked him an.
way" So, if the people of New York hav
lost millions of money, they will gain SOM
rcquital from the person if not from tn
fortune of BOSS" Tweed.

The result Of the election in Maine was
more satisfactory to the republicans
than that in Vermont. Two hundred and
eighty.seven towns give Gov. Conner ma
iority of 14,447. All the counties went re-
publican on the state ticket The split in
one or two of the representative districts
affected the republican majority very little.
There is great rejoicing of the republic
