hatchets, (similar to the one found the other day
on the Sprague farm, stone and Hint pestles for
pounding corn, stone picks, and various other ar
tices hewn out of stone by the savages. and which
they found needful in their hunting excursions as
well as for domestic uses in keeping the pot boil

heads is especially large and complete, embracing
stone. flint and jasper arrow heads. wrought as
well as any workman could do it now: Cap:
Cochrane has been for years in gathering this
collection, which is being added to from time to
time. These specimens were mostly obtained
from Monmouth, Wayne and Sebsttus Mountain D,
which seemed to be the favorite resorts of the In

Some Of these articles more than two hundred,
perhaps three hundred years old and how they
were fashioned by the savages without the use of
iron or steel tools, will remain mystery.

three weeks. After dinner the court entered up
on the trial Of No. %;
Oliver Moulton vs.. Lincoln Perry. Clay for
ptf., j. Baker for def. The case has been once
before tried, the trial resulting in disagreement
of the jury. The action is brought to recover the
value of one half of certain mill machinery and
other appurtenances attached to saw mill in Gar
diner, owned in common by the parties. Moulton
left the mill and fitted up another in a different
place, and undertook to remove from the Moulton
& Perry mill the machinery, &C., in question. Per-

TO pay for it, and hence the suit to recover its val

since the deft appropriated it to his separate use

oum ATTITUDE TOWARD MEXICO.
IN. Y. World.l

The course Of events In Mexico since
tho United States INTERVIEWED ten years
ago TO prevent tho establishment of the
empire under Macmillan has proved
almost to demonstration that the Gle.
ments do not exist In that country out
of which an orderly and durable system
of aelf-government can by the unas'
sisted efforts OF the Mexican people be
developed. The whole civilized world
and the public opinion OF Christen.
dom Justly expects the United States
to accept the responsibilities inn
deliberate policy towards Mexico. 1t is
certain that nothing will ever coNpel
the Mexicans to submit themselves TO a
constitutional and lasting form of gov
eminent excepting an absolute convic-
ton In the first place that the power of
the United States specifically irresist-
ible by them, and In the second place
the conversion of 80 noble a part OF the
American continent into hotbed OF dis
orders and deviltries without end. Our
war with Mexico thirty years ago was
brought about mainly by the ex-
IRENE forbearance and patience With
which the successors OF Gen. jackson
treated the Mexican question. Gen.
jackson himself handled 1t rs he had
handled the Spanish question in Flori-
da grasped the nettle with q hand Of
iron and left it soft as silk. His success
sors were over-diplumatic. and when
finally Ii became necessary to take de-
cided measures they could only be
taken under conditions which made q
war inevitable. The news that the Amer
leans intended to march upon the capt.
tai of Mexico was received throughout
Mexico with scorn and derision. Ten
years had obliterated the impressions
produced by the course Of President
jackson. and IL was only after the
gigantic sleeps OF the Cumbres of NAL
trata had been surmounted by the
northern army that the people OF Mex
leo began to believe themselves any
thing less than invincible. Ten years
afterwards, in 1868, the lessons read by
palo Alto and Buena Vista, Cerro Gordo
and Chapultepec had grown dim in their
minds.
The French undertook the work four
years later, and would have succeeded
in It beyond doubt had 1t not been
necessary for the United States, In vim
dioation of our own traditional policy,
to insist that France should withdraw
from the undertaking. So far as Mexico
herself is concerned the fruits of our in
tSIieISUC6 ut budt bltuS nave uSSu Vi d
very dubious character. So far as we our
selves are concerned we see those fruits in
the outrages and lawlessness which have
compelled us in 1877 TO reassume the
attitude taken upby Us under the leader
ship of President jackson In 1887. It Is
to be hoped that 1t may not be necessary
for us now, any moro than 1t was then,
to go beyond such plain manifestation
of our legitimate purposes and or our
power to accomplish them as cannot be
mistaken. But short of this we cannot
come without the most deplorable con-
sequences to both countries.

WASHINGTON. July t0.---The statement
is made here in sources usually deemed
reliable that Secretary Evarts will urge
upon the Cabinet tho recognition of
Diaz as de .fdcto President Of Mexico,
and also the recognition OF Mata as
Minister In place OF Marisoal. This de-.
termination on tho part Of Evarts has
been brought about, 1t Ia said, by ass,ir-
anoes made by Mata on tho part of Diaz
that Mexico will cancel her obligations
to the United States by meeting the de-
mands Of the Mexican indemnity fund,
and that the military forces Of Mexico
will cooperate with the United States
troops In suppressing border olttrages
It is believed that Diaz gave Malta OK
traordinary powers when he accredited
him to this country as minister, and
that he has accepted most any terms
suggested by Evarts in the interest Of
his own recognition and the moral sup
port given Diaz by receiving the reoog.
