During he grading for the Chicago 61 Strown railroad, four miles up the Kan Kakee river from Wilmington, Illinois, a bank or mound of stiff, clayey sand about forty feet III diameter and ten feet in night was cut into by the graders, ,and skeletons, pieces of pottery, and copper implements were found. The mound, which is situa- ted near Forked creek, about mile east of the Kankakee, is very compact, and is known generally as Smiths Indian Mound. The skeletons which have been unearthed are in poor state of preserva- tion. the largest and hardest bones only being found; and, by comparing their condition with that of bones found in similar soil and latitude, whose ages have been determined, the only conclusion to be arrived at is, that these are those of the Mound Builders, and were placed in the ground over 1000 years ago. On each side of the head of the skeletons, near where the ears were, were found pieces of copper about an inch and half in thick ness, and these, it is supp osed, were used as car-ornaments or rings by the an- cicnt owners of the skulls. They are well than that of the average skull of the pres ent day. By the length of the thigh bones it is judged that these aborigines must have oeeufuliy ght, and some of them were i..-.. reu feet ne skull, of twice tae ol the ytucrs found. was sont .. !. -.- man ia Chicago.
 By the side of the rather where the skeleton va, ...- to th skull was found a large kettle containing several flint arrow -heads and copper blade. The blade is about four inches in length and half an inch in thickness, tapering towards the edge from the cen ter. It is now in the possession of Frank
 
 Larned, of Wilmington. As Lake Su- perior is the nearest point from which copper can be obtaiued, this metal was probably brought from the Gulf of Mexi- co. The vases seem to have been made of pounded shells mixed with blue clay Some of the vases are ornamented by scroll work, nearly the same as the cngrav- ings on the outside of water-cases, and others by fancy but regular indentures. pr. E. R. Willard has in his possession one about tiv. inches in its greatest diameter, four inches high, and four inches through the top, with places on the sides showing where the handles had been. Most of the skeletons are found at depth of five or six feet, lying face downward, with the head toward the northwest. Pieces of burnt red clay, varying in shape and size, and placed about eIght inches apart, sur round the skeletons-1N. d; s. Press.

SONORA.

So much has been said about the State of Sonora in Mexico that we may be pardoned for publishing the following account of it taken from the St. Louis "GIobe Democrat :' The famous old "De Bows Review" has been revived, and We have before us the first number of the new series. In it is the first transla tion from Spanish into English of work upon the geography and statistics of Sonora, published four years ago in the City of Mexico. The origin of the first inhabitants is lost in the obscurity of ages, and the richest and most prolific imagination loses itself in the confusion of conjectures, more or less we'll founded, regarding the condition If ine numerous and diverse tribes, which formerly iuhatited this soil. so favored ny the hand of the Creator. This portion Of the Mexican territory was discovered by B subject of Spaiu.a 1J39. Upon his report an expedition to explore the country was fitted out, at an ex- pense of over $65O, ,OOO. but it was unsuccessful. Between the date of this failure and 1896, four other attempts at the conquest of the country were undertaken, at an aggregate cost of S9, ,240,000. Like the first invasion they resulted in failure.
 During the subsequent 150years the Jesuits, by means of missions. succeeded Tn converting Sonora into a theocracy, comprising 66 towns, governed by 24 mission arles. In 1924, after many inter- nal wars and rnhplliOnS. Sonora and Sinaloa became a free and Independent State, as regarded its domestic government. In 1S3G these were divided and Sonora became an independent common wealth, extending from 26 deg. l 39 mn. fl sec. to 32 deg. p min.

Of fruits there are oranges and lemons, both sweet and sour, peaches, pears, figs, pineapples, cocoanuts, lines, dates, bananas, and many others.
 There may be counted more than a thousand indigenous plants kno oVn to the natives which con- tribute to the cure of the various diseases, some of which are the true antidOtes against the bites of poisonous insects and reptiles.
