How THE INDIANS MADE THEIR ARROW

How THE INDIANS MADE THEIR ARROW
HEAps.-A yonny man in The Smithso-
man 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, daggers,
knives, axes and raz'rs of the prehistoric
races Up to this time this has been
great pfob.cni to d.. a.i.s', ---I"U-.t,'Gents,
but no theory has ever been advanced
showing such practical results as sCushings.
He started to solve the difficulty by put
ting hun self in the identical 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 imple-
ments by chipping one flint with another
has discovered that no amount OF chip
ping would produce snrfac 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 stick, instead of chipping by blows
of a stone when, presto he found that
he could break stone, flint and obsldian
in any shape he chose. Soon he had
made spear heads and daggers that would
cut Ike razor, as good as any he had
b fore him, which had been picked up
from all over the world BY little more
observation he discovered that the " fax
ing" which he calls his process, and the
old arrow head left grooves that all turned
one way He produced a like result by
turning his stick in the easiest way from
right TO LEFT. He therefore concludes
that the prehistorics were right-handed
people hike ourselves. This conclusion Is
reinforced by the fact that occasionally
an arrow head is found that has fakes
running from left to right, showing left
handed person. The importance of the
discovery is that it shows that the early
races we're able to do tins work without
the nse of iron or bronze, thing long
doubted

Our Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, July 9, 1873.

EDITOR SrATESNAS As elections draw
| near, and congress Is not IN session to dis
| tract the attention Of politicians. extraordi-
nary interest attaches to political eo,nplica-
! tions In several states. In Maine, fos in-
stance, where the election takes place in
about two months, the democrats and green
hackers have formed a compact union on all
except the gubanator,al ticket. The disafiec-
tion among democrats from TINS cause Is
found 20 be much less than was anticipated.
Indeed, Is it assures the lower house Of the
legislature 10 the combination, mary shifty
nondescripts and stay -at-homes. who, when-
ever they have voted, have voted the radical
tickes, will now vos, with what they know
To be the strongest side. The revolt of IN
telligent, active and consistent republicans
from the Blaine and Hamlin serfdom will
also certainly be mors, pronounced this year
than last year. Of substantial victory there
can be no doubt.
In OHIO. where the candidates are differ
ent. there seems 10 be no good reason for
any democrat To enter the gr.rnback party,
and there are indications that the votes 1t
will draw from the democratic party are
much less in number than Was expected.
As to both states simply give what is
currently talked here, aud what comes IN let
ters frem people usually reliable IN political
estimates.
There is much said of Senator Conklings
alleged declaration for Window As the re-
publican presidential candidate. OF course,
Senator c. s first choice Is Grant, but he be-
heves that, next to Grant, Window would
create less auimosities IN the party than any
other man. However, as Sherman Is assess
iny his clerks heavily III his own interest

NEW discoveries what claim to be
discoveries-of the healing virtues OF
plants, are continually making. One OF
the latest is that celery is cur for rheu-
matism indeed, it is serted that the
disease is impossible if the vegetable be
cooked and freely eaten. The fact that
it is almost always put on the table raw
prevents Its therapeutic powers trom be-
coming known The celery should be cut
into bits, boiled In water until soft. and
the water drank by the patient. Put new
milk. with a little -four and nutmeg, INTO
a saucepan with tie boiled celery, serve
il warm with pieces of toast, eat Ut with
pc.atoes, snd the painful ailment will
soon yield Such is the declaration OF a
physician who has again and agam trled
the experiment, and with uniform sue
cess. He adds that cold or damp lever
produces but simply deyeiopes, the dis
case. Of which ac.d blood IL the primary
and sustaining cause, and that while the
blood Is alkaline, there can be neither
rheumatism or CONT English statistics
show that in one year 1870 364o persons
died of rh umstism, and every case, it Is
claimed, might have been cured or pre-
vented by the adoption Of the remedy
mentioned At least two-thirds of the
ceses named heart disease are ascribed to
rheumatism and It's agcnizing ally, gout,
small -pox, so much dreaded, is not half
so destructive as rheumatism, Which, it Ii
maintained by many physicians, can be
prevented BY obeying natures laws in
diet. But if you have incurred it, boiled
celery is pronounced unhesitatingly TO be
a specific.

An aNrIpoIE FOR FLIES. with
the heat of summer and the recurrence Of
" iy time," 1t is important TO know how
to get rid Of the pests that do 50 torment
humanity, if that be possible. or to abats
tne nuisance if it can be abated. Upon
this theme, which is local, general, and
at this season, all-prrvading, we quote the
following from letter written by lady
and it may be added, her testimony Is
worthy Of acceptance in the matter OF a
trial which is entirely practicable, at the
same time assuring pretty feature IN

writes the lady, 4" have lived in town,
and during that time my sitting room has
been free from flies, three or four only
walking about my breakfast table, while
nv neighbors' rooIns were crowded !
often congratulated myself on my escape,
but never knew the reason of 1t until a
few days ego. I then had occasion to
move nv goods to another house, while l
remained for few days longer. Among
other things moved were two boxes OF
peraniums and caleoolarias, which stood
Ia my windows, being always open to
their full extent, top and bottolI- The
boxes were no. gone bali sn hour, when

CoArIGG AN OsELIsK-Che famous
Egyptian obelisk, which was recently set
up on the banks Of the Thames, and
which it was found would rapidly become
disorganiz-d by the action of the peculiar
atmosphere, has been coated with a SILL
cious wash, which, it Is believed. will sue
cessfuliy protect Its surface for years
The effect of the process. 1t Is said, mas
surpassed expectation, and is only to be
compared to the restoration OF an OIL
painting. The obelisk now appears as If
lust ehiseled from the rock, showing Its
original oolors. the quartz and feldspar
glittering in the sunlight. The intaglio
also comes out much more distinctly than
before.

ADVICE TO YoUNG MAN--And then
remember, son, that the world Is older
than you are, by several years that Tor
thousands of years it has been 30 full Of
smarter and better young men than Your
self that their feet stuck out OF the dor
mer windows that when they did the
globe went Whirling on, and not one man
ir ten million went to the funeral or even
heard of the death. Be as smart As you
can, Of course Know as much as you
can without blowing the packing out OF
Your cylinder head shed the hight OF
your wisdom abroad in the world, but
don't dazzle people with 1t. And don t
imagine q thing is SO simply because you
say IL is. Don't be too sorry for your
father because he knows SO much less
than you do; remember tae reply Of Dr.
Wayland to the student at Brown Uni
yersity who said it was an easy thing to
make proverbs such as Solomon wrote !:
" Make few" tersely replied the Old
man. And nc never heard that the
oouno man made any Not more than
two or three, anyhow. The world has
treat need ot young men, but no greater
need than the young men have of 1t.
Your clothes fit You better than your
fathers 6t HIM they cost more money !;
they are more stylish your mustache is
neater the cut Of your hair Is better,
and your are pre,tier-oh, far prettler
than .pa." But, Young man, the old
gentleman gets the biggest salary, and his
6omely, scrawling signature on the busi-
n IS end of check will drain more money
out of the bank i'll FIVE minutes, than you
could get out with a ream of paper and a
copper plate signature in SIX months
Young men are useful, son, and they are
oruam -ntal, and We all love them. and
we couldn't engineer picnic successfully
without them But tn y are no novelties,
son. Oh, no, nothing of the kind They
have been here before. Don't De So
modest as to shut yourself clear out, but
don't be so fresh you will have TO be put
axay into tn. cool to keep from spoIlIny.
Don t be afraid that your merit Will not

Let Others write Of battles fought
On bloody, CHASTITY fields
Where honor greets the man who wins
And death the man who yields;
But will write Of him who fights
And vanqnishes his sins,
Who struggles on through weary yssrs
Against himself and wins
He is hero stauneh and brave,
Who fights an unseen foe,
And puts at last beneath his feet
His passions base and low;
And stands erect in manhood's might
Undaunted, undismayed-
The bravest man that drew a sword
In foray or in raid.
1t calls for something more than Drawn
Or muscle to O'ercome
An enemy who marcheth not
Winner plume, and drum
a foe forever lurking nigh,
With silent, healthy tread,
Forever near your board bv day,
At night beside your bed.
All honor then to that brave heart,
Though poor or rich he be,
Who struggles with the baser part,
Who cOnauers and is free;
He may not wear hero's crown,
Or fill heros grave;
But truth will place his name among
The bravest of the brave.

GRANTS GRANGE OF FEoGRAMXE--Gen-
Grant will reach San Francisco about the
10th of September So says Borle. and
Borie knows. This change of programme
was doubtless brought about. the Louis
vile CoUier-yuuYad suggests, by his
special champions at home. They very
wisely think that if he returns too early
it will be impossible to keep up the excite
mept necessary to secure his nomination
to the pr sidency next year Their plan
is to bring him back at the time specified
or little later-the later the better-so
as to give the ground time to swell. On
this subject the Philadelphia Enquirer,
one of the oldest, ablest agd most respec-
table republican journals OF that city,
has some very decided opinions The
conclusion of its article is as follows: If
the general is really remaining away from
his country for this reason, he is taxing
a great deal of trouble and suffering much
ANNOYANCE merely to reap disappolnt-
ment. Il is trps that the stalwarts, the
Locans, Chambers and Conklings, are
most anxious for his denomination to the
presidency, but it is not true that the
people want it or will have it. The tone
of public sentiment is decidedly adverse
to any such arrangement. and If the ma
chine managers were able to secure ms
nomination he woGld be overwhelmingly
defeated, no matter who the democrats
m;oht nominate. The contest OF looO
viii be. under the most favorable condi-
tions. a difficult one for the republicans
to win. With a proper candidate, one
having the confidence of the people, they

The sun Cholera Medicine.

More than twenty years ago, when it was found that prevention of chol- era was easier than cure, prescrip- ton drawn Up by eminent doctors was published in the New York Sun, and it took the name of the Sun Cholera Medicine Our contempor- ary never lent its name to a better article. It has been in constant use for nearly two score years, and found it to be the best remedy for looseness of the bowels ever yet de vised. No one who has this by him, and takes it in time, never have the cholera. We commend it to all our friends. Even when no cholera is anticipated, it is an excellent remedy for ordinary summer complaints, collie, diarrhera, dysentery, etc.
 Take equal parts of tincture of cayenne pepper, tincture of opium, tincture of rhubarb, essence of pep permint and spirits of camphor. Mix well. Dose, 15 to 30 drops in a little cold water, according to age and violence or symtoms, repeated every fifteen or twenty minutes un- til relief Is obtained.

This time it is in a quarter where a Jewish residents of New York city particu- larly resort. Several days ago a ru- nor was circulated to the effect that Austin Corpin, President Manhattan Beach Company, had taken an open stand against admitting Jews to the beach or hotel. This report was on Sunday strengthened by Gilmore, leader ofthe Manhattan Beach Band who said Corbin told him he was go- ing to oppose the Jews, and that he would rather sink the $2,000,O0O in vested in the railway and hotel than Lave single Israelite take advan- tage of it's attractions, Corbin, being interviewed, substantially confirmed the stories.
