was not very sure that he could; but
placing his arms round the cannon, he
raised it entirely from the ground and
carried it to some distance. At another
time, when at Velvet Hall, near Berwick,
some countrymen were laboring to get a
cart laden with hay out of u miry hole
into which by some accident it had
stuck fast. Stuart was appealed to for
assistance. He desired them all to
stand aside, and, going underneath the
cart, removed it with its load to the
opposite side of the road" This extra
ordinary man (it is averred in many
quarters) actually went fiddling about
the country till nearly ia years old.
A small sum WAS then collected for him,
toward which the Queen and the late Sir
Robert Peele contributed. Stuart de-
clared that he "hadna been sac weel off
this hunder year." At'length his career
closed. He died at Tweedmouth on the
llth of April, 1874, and was buried on
the 14th, in the presence of vast con-
course of spectators The Berwick Ad-
vertiser, few days afScrward, contained
an adv ertisement relating to statuettes
of the veteran.

The Study Of Prehistoric Relics
-4 EOriaut,l Eorrpal

The state of prehistoric society may
possibly be determined by the examine
tion cf cabinets. There are relics there
which are useful. They show to us the
arts of the prehistoric people. They
point out to us the culture which they
had reached. Classified according to our
standard they reveal the materials which
were at their disposal. They show the
mineralogy of the country, and that the
early people we're familiar with it, They
show chat each tribe employed the mate
rial of his own locality for their weapons
and implements. They reveal some
small degree of commerce and the inter
change of metals and other materials.
They exhibit the habits OF the people,
whether agricultural or nomadic, or
hunting or fishing. They reveal the war
like appliances, also the peaceful arts,
and at the same time they make known
the advancement of the races.
The very Cages" associated with these
rehcs are suggestive, and the recognition
of the bronze, or the copper or the rude
stone or polished stone implements will
bring picture of society before the
mind. These relics as they have been
associated with the states of society
which history describes, are indeed evil
dences: They present picture to the
Imagination, and they bring before US
the scenes which have been depicted else
where. One stage of society after another
runs before us like a panorama. If we
are not familiar with American aborig-
inal history, if we have read no border
tales, and none of Cooper's novels, if we
never saw an Indian, and never read
about the early tribes in England, if we
have only read our Bibles, and had some
insight into the primitive pa
triarchal times and the days when Cain
dressed himself in skins and went out
and built city, yet these specimens are
instructive. The more we read and
know of the rude tribes, and follow the
various travellers all over the vast un-
known regions of every continent, the
more we make ourselves familiar with
the different stages Of society, whether in
history or in contemporaneous geography,
and especially as we study into the phi
losophy of history, and the rise of civ
ilization, the more valuable shall we see
these relics to be. The collection of rel
les may not seem to be important, or a
single specimen appear to be of any par
ticular value, but the data of the science
are thus obtained. and single relic may
give a clue which shall lead to wonderful
discoveries or reveal whole gallery of
prehistoric pictures.

On April 14th the steamer Nijny.
Novgorod, loaded with criminals and
provisions, left Odessa for the island Of
Saghalien. On the steamer there are
four hundred male prisoners, eight female
prisoners, twenty-seven women volun'

condemned wives, and sixty-four chill.
dren. The Archbishop Platon performed
the solemn thanksgiving service, and
prayer was offered for the long life of the
reigning family and Of those sailing away.
The Archbishop addressed the women,
blessed them, and besprinkled them with
holy water then the male prisoners were
brought up, and their turn received the
word of encouragement and hope. Many
of the prisoners wept. .2 ."
The male prisoners are placed in four
departments, one hundred men in each,
and the women in two rooms. There
are two hospitals, for males and females,
drug store, and chapel. There are
two surgeons, one priest, four officers of
the interior, and gentleman and his
wife to look after the conduct of the
prisoners. 1t is said that the prisoners
will receive the same food as the crew,
to-wit: Tea at breakfast, soup and meat
at dinner, cruel at supper. All the pris-
oners are in chains, but when we'll out
at sea they will be uuchained--at least
those of them who behave we'll. The
children and the persons voluntarily 60
ing to the island enjoy full freedom.
The cargo Of the steamer amounts to
1900 poods, or 2,S80,000 pounds-50,- )
600 pools of grain, and the rest old irun
rails to be used for the construction of
the horse railroad on S ghalien, from the
port to the principal prison in the CEN
trail part of the island. Fifty-four sol.
diers perform guard duty.
Last year the Nijny-Novgorod per-
formed the same journey in fifty-two
days. Though it was great success as
regards the health Of the prisoners, still
it is found necessary now to take one
hundred fewer than last year. The steam
er is painted white, and displays the i'm
perial Russian war-fag.

strong Jamie.


The Berwickshire journals in 1874
gave much information concerning this
remarkable man. Though short of
stature he possessed prodigious strength,
which earned for him the familiar cog
nomen Of "Jamie Strang," or ''Strong
jamie" A writer in the Berwick Ad-
yertiser said: "We have heard him state
that the greatest weight he ever lifted
from the ground was 105 stone, and that
he had lifted IS stone with enc hand.
When the Forfarshire Militia were en-
camped at Eyemouth, he went to see an
acquaintance among them. While there
a dancingmaster was boasting much Of

Heroic Girls in Kentucky.
Richmond Register.l

Some months ago man from the vic.
Unity of Clay's Ferry went to Estill
County, and among other nice things he
did was to make love to pretty girl.
About wedding-day, however, he escaped,
and things were postponed for a time.
At length he wrote to her that she must
meet him at Clay's Ferry, and said there
were reasons why he could not return to
her country. Her parents were opposed
to such a movement, she secured lady
friend. The two stole a canoe, and in
the night time, liEe the Indian maiden
on the blue Juniata, they foated down
the turbid, tortuous Kentucky, by the
dim starlight, u distance of thirty miles.
For moment, scudding about great
whirlpool, then gliding along the jagged
foot of some towering precipice, next
brushing an inundated willow grove, re-
alizing the hair-raising scenes of dime
novel, until their destination was
reached. Here they made inquiry for
the ardent lover, but he was nowhere to
be found. After short but fruitless
march there was nothing for the two
maidens-the one disconsolate, the other
fighting mad-but to return to their
mountain home. This they did on
foot, passing through this place en- route,
little dusty and tired, but in good
shape, and with the intention never to
trust the promises of another man.
