PROTECTION.

The following on the subject of pro

ought to be sufficient to convince any
man in his seDses of the inestimable
value Of our protective tariff to see the
enormous progress OF all our produc-
tive interests during the twenty years
in W hich the system has been in opera

seek to evSde this argument by At
tributipg our prosperity to other causes.
but they forget that the protective sys
tenn was in operation in England Tor
three hundred years, and that it ways
mainly to the success of that protective
system that British industries owed the
enorm us strength that finally enabled
them to endure the ordeal Of free trade.
The same system 10 now building up

and rendering the French Republic i'm.

Of Europe it is now doing for those of
our own country. The question. there
fore. is whether we shall have tariff
so governed and regulated % to foster,

duetion of ell kinds or tariff 80 ad-

PICTURED ROCK.

| TENNESSEE,s PICTURED ROCK
Not 100 miles below Nashville is a
curious spectacle, known as the Sun
and MoOn." 1t consists of painting
upon an immense rock which rises to
an altitude of several hundred feet. AS
to who painted it is mystery which
/ believe was never unraveled. Many
think it was the work of the red BROTH
er centuries ago, perhaps. But there
the sun and moon shine out in all
the freshness and glory Of new paint.
They are located midway the cliff, and
stand out i'm bold relief. AS to how
any human being ever reached the spot
is a question which, 1 believe, has new
er been solved. 1t is supposed that i'm
those days they had no giant ladders !;
and could not easily have reached the
point from below. The only natural
rope of that time was a wild grapevine,
of which Tennessee is so prolific, and
some Indian might have been by this
means let down over the dizzy bluff,
and when he had finished his work
had again been let down or pulled up.
At any rate, these pictures are there
on the everlasting rock, and are likely
to remain for future ages.-[Cincinnati

PREHISTORIC RUINS IN SOUTH.
sEKN COLOR DO.


The study of the ancient inhabitants
of America is one OF surprising in
tercst, and the deep mystery in whit h
the past is wrapped only adds TO the
zost with which we strive to draw the
yell away. But thus far little has been
discovered. We know that at some
time, far back in the dim past, a great
people lived in the Mississippi Valley i;
that they built there enormous struc-
lures, nero traces of which remain,
scarcely enough to mock at the seeker
and whittier they went, we know not.
In the southwestern Territories we
find these structures of a semi-civil-
lied people-whether the same as the
mound builders, no one can tell. No
one knows their earlier history; their
later history has been sketched in its
general features.
From the southern and western
slopes of the San Juan Mountains, in
southwestern Colorado, stretches fer
to the south and west strange country
1t is country of plateaus and canops
-of plateaus whose surfaces are fiat
aud unbroken for miles on miles; as
far as one can see the country presents
monotonous level, but is cut here
and there by deep, almost impossible,
canons. AS we rccede from the noun
tains, these plateaus, which are there
covered with pinon pine and sage, be.
come more sterile, and finally vegeta-
tion ceases, except in isolated spots,
and the surface is bare rock or drift
ing sand-a very Sahara.
Scattered over this region are the
remains of long forgotten people
a people which, judging from the few
r lies left for our study. possessed a
far higher degree of civilization than
the wild tribes now roaming the
country, higher than the Moquis and
Pueblos of the present day, yet re-
ssmbling them in many respects. We
find the remains of their homes, their
houses of stone, in various places and
OF various kinds; some, the homes OF
a happy, contented people, in full Sc
curity, leading pastoral life others,
mere houses built for shelter ana de-
fense in stormy times, as protection
from the invaded, for and
for open defense. The general outline
of their history is written in charac-
ters of stone all over the country.
The northern limit of their settle
ments seems to have been near north
latitude 3S deg. Farther north than
this no evidences of their occupation
have been discovered, although ex-
plOring parties have examined the
country thence to the Grand River
Toward the south and west their dwell
lings have been found in in Utah,
bthrOugbOut Arizona, aud in New Mex
leo as far cast as the Rio Grande. But
here, on the Rio San Juan and Its trib-
utaries, seems 10 have been center OF
population. In this country, over a
large area, the villages are quite near
together, showing that it was compar-
atively densely peopled. Their re-
mains consist OF buildings in various
stages of decay and dilapidatlon-cem-
eteries, pottery, most of it in fine
state of division arrow-heads, a little
wicker-work, stone tools of various
sorts, partially carbonized grain, corn
cobs, ETC., and a few specimens of
human remains,-l Popular Science

TOO MUCH PEPPER.

Years ago a hot political canvass
was being made in an Iowa county.
Charley Collins took an active part in
the election, and went out into the in.
terror of the county to do work for
his side. The second day Charley
strayed beycnd his limits and got into
an adjoining county. Hearing of a
methodist prayer. meeting in the neigh
borhOod, he concluded to take it in.
Arriving at the house just about dark,
he assumed long, sanctimonious eX-
preston of coantenance, and being a
man who readily adapts himself to cir.
cumstances-in fact he always goes on
the principle that when in Rome do
as the Romans do-he announced him
the vineyard of the Lord. When the
season of prayer was at its height, the
leader called out, Brother Collins will
please offer up a word This was
more than Charley had expected, but
as he was after the votes of the breth-
rem, notwithstanding they were in an
other county, he let himself loose af-
ter this fashion: 90, Lord, continue
to showeryOu blessings upon us farm
ers, the bone and sinews of our country
who always vote right. Give them
bountiful crops, give them flocks Of
hogs and herds of cattle, give them
anything they want; give them more
than they want and make them take
it; give them bushels of wheat, oats
and corn give them barrels of flour'
give them barrels of pork, give them
barrels of sugar, give them barrels of

to hesitate. He was talking much
faster than he could think up the good
things he wanted the farmers to have,
but he continued, give them barrels
of delicious fruit, give them barrels of

a clerical aspect, took the stage from
