History on Bark.

4 short time ago discovery of several
mounds, evidently artificially construct
ed and not the handiwork of nature. was
made at what is known as Sheridan's s
drive, on range of hills immediately to
the west of Fort Leavenworth, Kan.
Within these mounds were traces of
stonework us artistic and nearly perfect
as that of the present day. A party went
to the mounds and found q sort of book
of records, written, or transcribed rather,
upon pieces of bark, and placed together
like the leaves of hook and tied with
smaller pieces of bark. Among the ex-
ploring party was gentleman from
Boston, who had made the language of
Mexico study, and who, upon examin-
alton of the records found in the mounds,
found similarity between the writings
in the records and the ancient language
Of Mexico during the time cf the Monte
Zumas.
The record is history-a chronicle Of
events. No dates are given, but from
historical analogy it is to be inferred that
it must have been about 1920, during the
reign of the Montezumas in Mexico,
when the emperors of that name had il
all their own way in not only their own
section of the country, but up toward our
West as well. The records give the de-
tails of a great battle, probably on the
very spot where the metropolis of Kan.
sas now stands. According to the rec.
ords, the battle ragged for three days and
the ground was strewn with slain, and
after the conflict was over the victors
with the prisoners they had taken, re,
versed their steps and went back to
Mexico, where the captives were to be
offered up upon the affairs as sacrifice
to their god of war The records were
evidently written by the victors, and
placed by them in the mounds where
they We're found. The records consist 0!
ten large pieces of bark, hattened out
about ten or twelve inches in size, and
bound tight together by thongs of bark
cut into long strips and pressed. They
have been sent to Boston, and are to be
placed in the State Historical Museum
there.-POtter'S Monthly.

Early Corn.

A correspondent of Nck's magazine
gives the following directions for bring
ing corn to maturity early in the season,
adding that he picked corn last year IN
side ofsixty days from the time OF liant,
ing: LET the conditions Of the soil and
manure be the best you can command,
and aside from the frequent wedding and
hoeing, stirring the ground thoroughly,
thin the stalks to three or four-three IS
best if you would have the largest ears
and most of them. Pluck out most un-
mercifully every sucker and non-bearlng
stalk-that process alone will hasten
your corn week or ten days, as L have
come to believe from experiment. L
have added this year top-dresslng at
the hill, when the corn was well up-a
compost of one part plaster, two parts
ashes, and two parts fine manure, which,
| think, has been great advantage"
Those who wish carly corn should not
only have for seed what is called Ian
early kind" but they should obtain it
from as for north as possible. Sled
corn raised in Canada and taken south
will come to perfection one, two or three
weeks earlier than that ripened on the
spot. The reason is that the seed raised
in the north has adapted itself to short
season. This is true, in q measure, ol

on and the indications are that
it is yet in its infancy. On
Tuesday last a barge load was
shipped from St. Louis to Kan
sas. There was 275 negroes in

This cargo was forwarded from
St. Louis by a relief committee
at an expense of over $500.
In addition to paying fares
provisions were also furnished
for the trip. The destination
Of the cargo was Wyandotte,
the first landing in Kansas going
up the Missouri river; and adj.
joining Kansas City on the
south, the states and towns be-.
ing separated by the Kansas
river. There are many more
negroes in St, Louis to go
forward. The Mayor of Wy
andotte warns steam boats not
to bring any more immigrants
to that place. Nearly all the
colored immigrants arriving in
Kansas are without money.
The people in the vicinity of
Wyandotte are greatly wrought
up about the influx of negr pes, 2
and are liable to create trouble
at any moment. Funds are
being sent from the east to as
sist the negroes in moving.
Here the people are patiently
waiting for the negro politicians
