THE STONE KETTLES OF
KENTUCKY.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati En-
qaeirer, writing from Hillsborough, KY,
describes these strange utensils, the sup
posed work of the prehistoric inhabitants
of America. After passing through an
oak forest and climbing steep hill
which was remarkable for the absence
of rocks on its surface, he found lid of
one cf them, and afterwards found the
kettles. At one time there must have
been a dozen of them, but now only
four of them are preserved. The roots
of trees growing near by have split some
of them, and other causes have helped
further their destruction. The kettles
are hewn into the soft sandstone but ex-
posure has removed all traces of chisel
marks He saw a few scratches, but
they seemed to have been made by re-
cent explorers. Each of the kettles was
about five feet in diameter, strictly cir
cular. and two feet in depth. A her-'-
is cut on the edges to -~00IVe the Ios'
several -4u uuIch lie near by Upon the
upper edge of several of the kettles
groove has been chiseled into the rock,
seeming as if after the lid had been put
on cement had been used to exclude mois-
ture. The lids lie near by, with one ex-
ception. They are large peices of sand
stone, of circular shape, the under side
fiat and the upper heWn toaQ. oval aha 8hftne the
kettles is smooth and we'll done. To
have placed the lies on the kettles must
have taken the work of number of men,
for they are quite heavy. Three of the
kettles that are in good preservation are
situated on an arc of circle whose di-
ameter is about forty feet. The two far
thest apart of the three have distance
of about twenty-five feet between their
centres while the remaining one is sit
uated midway between them on the arc
of the supposititious circles passing
through their centres. From the regu-
the general position Of +thhfsA thfss fttBfERaa and
ones, it would appear that they had
all been arranged in like groups of three.
Two Of the groups are on the same level,
The kettles are placed on the side of a
hill, having about the same angle as its
slope. Further, they are SO placed that
they are exposed to the sun for the long
est possible time. At one time there
was talk of sending one of them to the
Cincinnati expositions work was begun
and progressed some way, when, for
some reason, the project was abandoned.

The men who objected to the Elec-
toral Commission because it would be
partisan in its decision are now trium-
phantly declaring; 1--WE told you So"
Well, partisan decison is better than
none at all, which would have been the
case without the tribunal But we sus-
pect that the men who now declare that
the Commission is partisan would be the

should decide adversely to his wishes

AN ARAB TOURNAMENT

AN ARAB TOURNAMENT
Soon after our arrival, five horses
were brought in, richly caparisoned in
the Moorish style: powerful Moorish
bits, with the ring encircling the lower
jaw; short stirrups, serving also as spurs
the high saddle, covered with velvet
housings embroidered aps f5ips6s 5R s6s neck
and breast of the horses. All the horses
were good, some very fine. Five sons
of Sheik Achmet, all clad in Oriental
robes of brilliant silks, all wearing the
turban, now mounted, ana che sport be-
gan. 1t consisted mainly of dashing
across the eourt at full speed. and sud-
denly bringing up the horses on their
launches, and of riding rapidly around
one another in various sngj elrGlgs Glg lnRGJRgg nlRaJgz
poles, one endeavoring to gain the un-
guarded flank of another. 1t was an
admirable display of horsemanship, and
with the fine carriage of the animals,
the superb riding, the rich and graceful
robes of the men, and the housings of
the horses, formed remarkable specta-
Gle. 1t was a scene of another age and
of another race, and the first thought
tiIao UvouLICd tv all Of 10 wao thob at
last we could realize the games that
graced the festivals of the Alhambra.
Among those who took part were two
very marked men who happened to be
the best and most daring riders these
were the Oldest and the Youngest of
those who rode. The elder was power
fully built man of about forty, perhaps
five feet eight in height, with an intelli-
gent and very determined counterance,
though there was uvthinp unpleasant in
it. The other could not havv haen
more then twenty; light and graceful
as possible. with charming face full of
ihVeliiS0noe @nd Gnnd-Eature, yet strong
and full of courage, he was the beau
ideal of a noble young man. while the
elder looked like soldier hardened by
many campaigns The youngsters
horse was trained to kneel and lie down
and rise again to the sound of drum,
and this was the amusing part of the
exhibition. A brace of wild Arabs
danced frantically in front of the noble
bay, wildly beating their drums until
he knelt, and at last stretched himself
at full length on the ground, the young
sheik keeping his seat until the horse
rolled over on his side.-Gen. Nc Cteu-

The MILITARY Strength Of England
at the present time, contrasted with
what it was just before the Crimean
war, was one of the topics which Major
General Sir John Hyde selected to speak
upon IN addressing regiment of Kent
Volunteers recently at Woolwich. He
said that before that war they had nell
ther the militia nor volunteer force, and
the army at home numbered but 10000
men of all ranks. Now the regular
army at home numbers 100000, with
between 800 and 400 rihed field guns,
manned and horsed, rapidly increasing
reserve force, 100000 militia, many
regiments of which were in admirable
condition, and 10000 volunteers.
Autumn campaigns and military schools
had done great things and the army was
more educated and better prepared for
war than in it had been at any previous
| neriod.

AN AMUSING INCIDENTAL rather
amusing incident is told as having oc-
CURED recently at church in Connecti-
cut not many miles from Fairfield. The
clergyman, it would appear, desired to
call the attention of his audience to the
fact that it being the last Sunday of the
month, he would administer the rite of
oaptiann to children. Previous to his
having entered che pulpit, he had re.
ceived from one of his eldoro. who. bv
the way, was quite deaf, notice to Tho
effect that as the children would be
present that p. m, and he had the new
Sunday school books ready for distribu-
tion, he would have them there to sell
mon the cr1rs5-Ad them. After the SER
baptismal service, thus: "ATI enUse
having children and desiring to have
them baptised will bring them this af-
ternoon," At this point the deaf elder,
hearing the mention of children, sup
posed it was something in reference to
his books, and rising, said: All OF
those having none, and desiring them,
will be supplied by me for the sum OF
twenty cents.

it's seldom enough such folk get any
thing to laugh about-and could Just
see you groan, and your face was a.
black as thunder cloud, and as saw
age as an oak knot soaked in vinegar.
The old man came out just then for an
armful of wood, and nodded at you
pleasant enough; but that face of yours
was too much for him, and pretty
soon he looked as if he'd have liked to
throw a chunk of wood nj your head.

The casing to Father Baguss's con-

prospect of getting some mill stock
aided the good work in his heart.

Crupp got his sugar, and no one

himself outside the stoor door, and
said,

Say replied the sick man, with
an earnestness which was almost ter
rible in its intensity: "say that whis-

ME, no one thought enough enough of
Us to step in between us. And tell
them that this story is as true as ii is

As Doughty spoke, he had raised
himself upon one elbow; as he uttered
his last word, he dropped upon his
pillow, and passed into land to
which no one but his wife manifested
any willingness to follow him.
