How Flint Arrow Heads
were made.
ClevelaRd Leader.

"A young scientist in the Smith-
sonian ms ltute, named Cushing.
has just made public tue diScov
cry OF the method employed in
making the stone and volcanic
glass arrow heads, daggers,
knives, axes, and razors of the
prehistoric races. Up to this time
this has been a great problem to
all antiquarian students, but no
theory has ever been advanced
showing such practical result as
MIR. Cashiug's. He started to solve
the difficulty by putting himself
in the identical position OF the
Aztec or mound building-with
out anything to work with except
sticks, various shaped stones such
as he could find on the bank 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 he was try
Ing to initiate. He therefor. 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 chil,
ping by blows of IL stone when,
presto ! he found that he could
break stone, flint and opSidian in
any shape he chose. Shortly he
had made spearheads and daggers
that would cut like IA razor, AS
good as any he had before him,
which had been picked TIP from
all over the world. By little more
observation he foun.' that the
d" tlaking," which he calls his pro-
cess, on the old arrow head lett
grooves that all turned one way.
He produced like result by tuIn
ing his stick the easiest way from
right to left. He therefore, con-
cfndes that the prehistorics were
rlght.handed l,eOplelike ourselves.
This conclusion is reinforced by
the fact that occasionally an ar
row head is found that has tluckes
running from left to right show
ing a left ft-handed person. The i'm
portance OF the discovery is that
it shows the prehiStoricS to have
been able to do this thing with.
ont the use of iron or bronze, a
thing long doubted. These facts
We're given i'll paper which he
read before the Anthropological
Society of the Smithsonian at its
last meeting.

On the plantation of Nathan X.

tation, on Bayou Sale, parish of
st. Mary, there were nineteen
share hands, all white men, con.
sisting of twelve Danes, most Of
them seven years in Louisiana,
and seven Creoles, DO Il in South

hands made last year:
272 hhds. sugar, HOO lbs. net

42S bbls. molasses, 45 gallons
19,26O gallons.
50 acres corn. 1000 barrels

80 loads pea hay.
Cut 400 cords of sugar wood.
Cleaned out all of the planta-
ton bitches and repaired the
plantation fences.
They cultivated 76 acres of
plant cane, S2 acres of stubble

hands cut 400 cords of wood.
Each hand averaged 16,005
pounds OF sugar, 1919 gallons of

Confession Of Guilt.

The attitude of Gov. Garcelon toward the
proposition of Hon. Lot NJ. Morrill, is exactly
what was anticipated by those most familiar
with the mental condition and immediate
surroundings of that functionary. Though
the proposition fails Of its ostensibie purpose,
the settling Of the questions at issue by q
tribunal whose authority would command
general respect, it viii have a good effect in
conclusively demonstrating the deliberate
and continuing wichedness Of the conspiracy
to defraud the people Of Maine. If any in
telligent and well meaning citizen has had
up to the present time the slightest doubt as
to the bad faith Of Gov. Garcelon and his
confederates, that doubt is rudely dispelled
by the refusal to submit to the arbitrament
Of the tribunal provided by our constitution
and laws for exigencies like the present
The lines are sharply drawn, and no man
can innocently sustain the usurping govern
ment. Every man who approves the course
Of the executive knows that he is giving
sanction to deliberate and wilful wrong
doing. It is useful and helpful in every way
to have the line between right and wrong
distinctly defined SO that there can be no
honest differences Of opinion as to the ques-
tions of morals.
The Portland daily press., 1879-12-31

THE Washington correspondent of the
Boston Journal furnishes to that paper an
account Of the connection Of Ben Butler
with the Maine conspiracy. In substance it
is that short time before the election in
this State Butler had an interview with Gov.
Garcelon and other officers of the State Gov
ernment at Augusta; that an examination
was then made of former election returns
for the purpose of noting the infornalities
most apt to occur, and that at Buffers sug-
gestion the blank sheets for election returns
distributed to the counties from the State
capital were drawn up with a special view to
entrapping unwary election officers into just
such technical errors as in many cases have
arisen, Fusionists being carefully instructed
tosee that returns were in correct form
where their candidates had majority, and
to forward protests whenever they .diseoy-
cred ieclinicuI 1gfGGs5 u 4oJnrns which
elected Republicans. At that time Butler
hoped to carry Massachusetts,, and trusted
that the Legislatures Of the two States would
adopt the plan of choosiA, Butler electors.
Then he hoped to secure the Democratic
nomination, or throw the election into the
House, where he would hold the balance of

THE letter Of George G. Stacy, State Ii
brarian, who seems to be a sort of generals
simo and organizer of the confederate forces,
indicates disposition to carry things with
a high hand at Augusta. He is reported as
writing to the Fusion representatives what
is apparently a circular letter, directing each
to come TO Augusta with ten men whose ex-
penses wilt be paid. lie does not sag that
such payment will be made from the State
Treasury. The character and habits OF this
man Stacy are pretty well known to the peo-
pie Of Maine as they were quite thoroughly
canvassed before jury in Bath within few
years. 1t bodies no good to the peace and
good order Of society when George G. Stacy
assemblies at the capital body of such men
as would obey orders from such man.

COUNCILLOR Fogg's blasphemous declara-
ton that the contingent of the Republican
majority in the Legislature is the result Of
''the direct interposition of the great Jeho-
vah to punish the Republican party for its
sins" recalls the old story Of the two Hebrew
gentlemen who dropped into Delmonico's
for lunch The two men eat heartily as
was their wont. On taking up their checks
they found their bill amounted to some four
dollars, instead Of the twenty-five cents they
were accustomed to pay Tor a meal. There
was nothing to do, however, but to settle.
As they left the place one of the lunchers
denounced the charge as extortionate;
whereupon the other bectoned his compan-
ion into neighboring alley, and made the
consolatory remark: ''Nefer mind, my tear
frient, God has punished dat wicked man
Delmonico." So saying he drew from his
pocket the handful of spoons he had swept

GARcELoN's S faculty of being nisappre-
hended is not worn by use. He is now
loudly complaining that Gov Morrill's
letter did not reach him until after its pub
lication in the newspapers. That letter
was left in the Council chamber Saturday
afternoon. 1t did not appear in print until
Monday morning, Had the Governor been
attending to his duties az the Capitol instead
of cavorting over the State and stirring ur
bad feeling at fusion meetings, the letter
would have come to his hand many hours
before it made its acquaintance with type.

Gov. GARcELoN says he is testing the

man would not enter upon it.
