OLIVER SPRINGS, May IS, 1879.
Mr.. EDITOR: Lr. John Butler,
who lived about one and a half miles
below here, in R0gne county, fell into
his mill-pOnd this evening and was
drowned before assistance could be got
to him. Mr.. Butler was the father Of
MessTs. J. x. Butler & Bro, selling
goods at this place. He was a very
clever, kind old gentleman. He was
subject TO fits, often falling down while
talking or walking around, and il is
supposed that during one of these fits
he fell into the water, which is but
short distance from his house. Il has
cast gloom over the whole c0mmu-
nifty.
Maj. Carpenter OF your city, with
Mr.. Scott, and six or eight other gen.

How the Indians Made their Arrow
Heads.

A young man in the Smithsonian Institute
writes the Washington correspondent of the
Cleveland Leader has just made public the
discovery of the method employed in making
the stone and volcanic glass arrow-heads, dag
gers, knives, axes and razors of the prehistoric
races. Up to this time this has been a great
problem to all antiquarian students, but no the
ory has ever been advanced showing so practi-
cal results as Cushings. He started to solve
the difficulty by putting himself in the identi-
crl position of the AztecS or Mound-Builders-
without anything to work with except sticks
various-shaped stones such as he could find ON
the banks of any stream, and his hands. After
making some rude implements by chipping one
flint with another, he discovered that no
amount of chipping would produce surfaces
like the best OF those which he was trying to
initiate. He therefore came to the conclusion
that there was another way of doing it, and
by chance tried pressure with the point of a
stick, instead of chipping by blows of stone
when, presto! he found that he could break
Stone, nf1It, OF obsidian in amy Shape ha -ohase-
Soon he had made spear-heads and daggers that
would cut like razor, as good as any he had
before him, which had been picked up all over
the world. By little more observation, he
found that the taking" which he calls his
process, on the old arrowhead left grooves that
all turned one way. He produced like result
by turning his stick the easiest way from right
to left. He therefore concludes that the pre-
histories We're right-handed people like our
selves. This conclusion is reinforced by the
TACT that occasionally an arrowhead is found
that has flakes running from left to right
showing left-handed person. The importanc
OF this discovery is that it shows that the early
races were able to do this work without the use
OF IRON or bronze, q thing long doubted

The F'lirt at the Theatre.


She sat in the front row of the parquet cir
Gle the other night, and when she wasn't flirt-
ng with the gentlemen whose faces she could
see, she was discussing the people ON the stage.
She was beautiful blonde, with dark brown
eyes, and her face attracted much attention.
A fair, white skin, rosy, dimpled cheeks, lips
IKE the cherries that grow nearest the sun in
the top OF the tree; pearly teeth, the regular
rows OF which showed themselves whenever
she chose to let her musical laugh be heard,
(Which was often), and pretty shaped head,
crowned with wealth of golden hair and the
cunningest of hats. She talked aloud, and
even made up faces at the gentlemen who
stared at her. o rdinarily such a character,
even though a female beauty, would have
been unpleasant at the theatre, but somehow
everybody seemed pleased with the lady. II
L. Cps glass didn't deceive him, she was about
four years old The only portion of the play
she seemed to understand and appreciate was
love-making scene
When the laughter that followed the exit of
the lovers in the play had subsidized, the little
one turned to lady and said in perfectly
audible voice:
Della, 'at's dess'e way cousin Deorge tissed
ooe uver day."
Ihe star was much disconnected to hear a
roar OF laughter from portion of the audience
Just as she made her tragic entrance on the
next scene, but her tribulation was insignif-
cant by comparison with that of a certain
couple who will henceforth leave the "little
tiirt" at home when they go to attend the
play.

A young man named Fitzgerald was shot
the other night while entering the house of
Mr.. Walsh in Brooklyn on the supposition
that he was burglar. 1t turns out however
that his character was mistaken. He had
been out late; did not want his folks to know
it; mistook the house, which looked like his
fathers house; took off his shoes and was en-
tering the back window noiselessly, as he had
done before when he was shot by Mr.. Walsh.

american intelligence, which has been
nation on the produce of English minds, paid
until very recently no toll whatever to its
teachers. When any demand was made for
recognition of the debt, it was met by
the question, what had English pub
fishers to offer in return. Paternoster
Row and Albermarle street were ready to ac-
qulesce in protection to Professor Longfellow
and Mr.. Bryant, to Mr.. Prescott and Mr.. Mot
ley. But the balance has always hitherto
seemed too vastly in favor of the other side of
the Atlantic as things are for the English over
lures to be accepted. n
In New York and Boston it might be possible
to invoke public opinion against the infraction
OF the first explorers title to poem by Mr. Ten
nyson or novel by Mr.. Trollope' Lately, how
ever, city which cares nothing for the scru-
pies of New York or New England has devel-
has set itself to supply the wants of the
curious millions OF the great West and North
west. Chicago may possibly wait upon the
literary taste of its elder sisters. If so it is as
the bear watches the bird which pioneers the
way to the wild honey. When New York has
been so kind as to discover and advertise
what will suit the humor of the American
public, down pounces Chicago ON its prey with
an edition which New York cannot pretend to
match for cheapness The horror the elder
American publishing firms express for Chicago
Is very edlfying. The spectacle of such COM
petitive immortality has stirred consciences
which have been comfortably callous to Eng
1ish reproaches. AT length the cry has sounded
not from this, but from the other side of the
Atlantic, for an international copyright con-
vention. American publishers are moved to re-
store it's own to liteIary ability by an act which
will at the same time secure q fair return to
their own CaDita1
