kind of adobe brick of red color
like modern brick, bnt of a coarser
material. The brick, specimens of
which we're brought up here by
Capt. Whitley, have transverse
holes passing through them, suppos-
ed to act as veniilators to the DWELL
ings, as the bricks being laid fiat
ways in the wall, the sides of the
house would be pierced with null
tiiude of holes for the admission of
the outside air.
Another aud more probable theo-
ry is, that the bricks in mslleable
state were pierced with round sticks
for the more readily handling and
burning, aud the sticks having
burned out, leave the impression Of
their form in the shape of a hole.
The sites of these ancient habita-
tions are plainly marked by a sunk
en- depression of several feet in the
ground, leaving evidence ike that
seen in the sites of demolished habl-
tations frequently met with in the
country in modern times. At first
sight IF these habitatiOns, the OBJ
server might be led to believe that
these ancient people lived in cellars
and bniit their houses under ground;
but this impression viii vanish on
rejecting that the accumulated de-
bris of ages has eatombedf these
dwellings, beneath the surface.
Beside on. one side of the ancient
city, there is still lake or marsh,
which at some remote period may
have oyerhowed its banks, submerg-
in portions of the site Of the ancient
city long after its extintiOn, and add
ed its deposits TO the aceumnlating
debris. The site of the city is now
covered with trees, mostly oak, of
an ancient growth, showing that
thousands of years have rolled
round before the handiwork of these
early Missoufians was exhumed for
exhibition at the Centennial The
pottery brought mp here this time
by the indsfatigable antiquarian,
some of which was taken out or Sat
ardag last, cons sts largely of d X
ing cups, culinary utensils, and bot
ties Of gOurd-shape. There are al
SO rude trowels and tools used for
fashioning and ornamenting the pot
tery, and whetstones for sharpening
the stone axes and other instru-
ments IN use. But the fantastic
character of the Ornamentaion of the
vessels is what strikes every one
with surprise. There are very accu-
rate figures Of FISH, frogs, hedgehogs,
aud such animals as existed st that
time; besides, among the feathered
tribes are the goose, duck, owl, hawk,
and probably the rooster, from bis
comb. s1fsai =.
There are miniature busts of male
heads carved out of clay, represents
ing a type of face more''resembling the
ancient Aztec race than the modern
American Indian; but further and
more careful inquiry is necessary be-
fore coming to any conclusion on
this point which would tend to set
tie the origin of these early builders
and taxpayers of the State.

In spite of all that has been pub
lished to deter expeditions to the
Black Hills, the tide of adventurers
has not been materially checked,
and nearly every outgoing train on
certain roads has on board one or
more persons bound for the new
gold-felds of the West. iisl
s A Tribune reporter met two gen.
tlemen from Yankton, Oak, yester-
day-Judge w. w. Brookings, Vice
President of the Dakota Southern
Railroad and prominent attorney
Pof Yankton, and Fred ]. Cross, Su-
perintendent of Emigration for
Dakota. Both we're fresh from
their enterprising city, bound for
New England in the interests of en-
igration, and ready to inpart any
information in their power. The re-
porter had an interesting chat with
the gentlemen, the substance of
which is given in the present article.
In regard to the best means of
reaching the Black Hills, the report
er was informed that the most direct
route was by the Illinois Genital
Railroad from here to Sioux City,
and thence to the present terminus
of;the Dakota Southern at Yankton.
The latter road, when completed,
win take the traveller right into the
midstot the Black Hills. At this
time, howeveE the two principal
routes froml Yankton are BY river
and stage. The first route to the
gold regions from Yankton is up the
Missouri some 200 miles to Fort
Pierre, and thence by stage in a
southwesterly direction for 1S5 miles,
when the Black Hills are reached.
The second route pursues an almost
direct western course to Fort Ran
dali reached either by river orstsge,
and thence by stage TO the Black
Hills, The last route is &C nsidera-
bly, the shorter, but involves q good
deal of staging and very little travel
by river, Expeditions from Yank.
ton, composed of people gathering
there from all quarters, start for the
Hills every day or two, provided
with rations for three months. Both
routes are well supplied with water
and grass, and, as there has been nc
snow in the country or heavy rains
this winter, all damaging reports as
to the swollen streams amount 70
simply nothing. The roads were
never in better condition, and are
described as beng hard enongh fpl
the heaviest travel.
As to the amount of gold found Il
the Black Hills, the reporter was in
| formed that some parties were get
ting from % to $40 a day, and some a
much $50. The gold was that know
as s'coarse scaled gold,a ? was washe'
out Of the streams, and was Of tn
character known as "plaeer gold.
One of the gentlemen had speei
men Of this gold in q small bottle

NuRo-G o-GLYoKRINE.--It is q Peculi-
arity of the class of explosives CON-
posed in whole or in part Of nitro
rivcerine that they win persist in
3 exploding in conditions in which
scientific men. have demonstrated
that explosion is impossible. For ex-
ample, scientific experiments have
conolusiveiy shown that nothing ex-
eept Eliminating powder win cause
dynamite to explode, but neverthe-
less that vicious compound has again
and again exploded without the aid
Of q particle of any kind Of fulmi-
nate. The real truth Of the matter
Is. that when nitro-glycerine thinks
proper TO explode, it wiz do 50, and
there does not appear to be any way
Of inducing it to abstain from yield
ing to so dangerous an impulse.

s A New SEA Oh. SAHARA.-The
plan of cutting a canal through the
high ground on. the west coast of
Africa, and allowing the Atlantic
to pour into the great basin of the
Sahara Desert, thus changing it into
an inland sea, is seriously discussed
among the savans Of Europe. Un-
doubtedIy the effect Of this change
would be beneficial to Africa, but
the question is raised IS to the infu-
ence it would have upon Southern
Europe. The SHOWS on the noun
tain heights north of the Mediterra-
mean are greatly affected BY the
warm winds blowing from Africa
When these are continued, the pla-
ciers retreat up their valleys and She
altitude of the snow line Is higher
than usual. From this fact, it has
been suggested that the glacier Pc
Rod in Southern Europe occurred
at the time when the Sahara was an
inland sea. If this deduction be cor
rect, the recreation of a sea in the
Sahara win set 3 train Of forces at
work that win have marked and
Injurious effect upon Europe. Cut
OF the hot south winds and the per
petual snow area must be increased
in the northern continent

Hard Work in Youth.

Many young people are impatient in
the hard work to be done as clerks, or of
subordinate positions, and are eager to
make fortunes without the long and pain
fu1> toll which is essential to success.
TheyNmay learn something from the ex-
perienoe of Vice-President Wilson. He
says of himself:
l feel that l have right to speak for
toiling men and to toiling men. l was
born here in your county of Stratford. |
was born in poverty. Want sat by my
cradle. l know what it is to ask mother
for bread when she has none to give. |
left my home at ten years of age, and
served an apprenticeship of eleven years,
receiving a months schooling each year,
and at the end of eleven years of hard
work, a yoke of oxen and six sheep,
which brought me eighty-four dollars.
Eighty-fo dollars for eleven years Of
hard toll
never spent the amount of one dollar
of money, counting every penny, from the
time was born until was twenty-ont
years of age. know what it is to traveI
weary miles, and ask my fellow-men tc
give me leave to toll.
l remember that in October, 1888,
walked into your village from my native
town, went through your mills seeking
employment. If anybody had Offered
me nine dollars a month l should have
accepted it gladly. l went to Salmon
Falls, l went to Dover, went to New
market and tried to get work, without
success, and returned home footsore and
weary, but not discouraged.
put my pack on my back and walked
to where l now live in Massachusetts
and learned mechanics trade. know
the hard lot that toiling men have to en-
dure in this world, and every pulsation
of my heart, every conviction of my
judgment, every aspiration of my soul
puts me on the side of the toiling men Of
my country-aye, of all countries.
The first month worked after was
twenty-one years of age, went into the
woods, drove team, cut mill logs and
wood, rose in the morning before day
light, and worked hard until after dark
at night, and l received the magnificent
sum of six dollars Each of these dol
lars looked as large to me as the moon
looks tonight.
