les made in Mexico, and has in his
possession many Toltec relics and 9th
er antique objects which he believes
belong to an earlier civilization. He
expresses decided opinion that the
Aztec civilization has been greatly
|over-estimated. He believes that
many monuments attributed to them.

with those discovered in the Indian
mounds of the United States, not only
in size, but in the peculiar fattening
OF the occipital region. Captain
Evans mentions that the pottery, es-
peclally the circular dishes, in these
Mexican ruins, are almost identical
with those found in Arkansas, and he
entertains the idea that the great Toll.
tee empire was overrun by Indians
from the North as we'll as by the Az

between these races. Among othel
things he said: "This can be PROVED

tertainment must be seen to he under
stood and appreciated, and we are glad
to note that the spacious church was
well flled. The professor and his class
have demonstrated that the celestial
art can be highly perfected in a short
time, if skilfully cultivated, and we
hope that his first effort among Us may
be but beginning of better state of
musical culture. Parents should more
generally learn to understand that a
little money spent on their children in
this way is. well applied. Singing is
a great refining and christianiZing
agent in a community, and it is well
for us to remember this constantly.

Pine Grove Mills.

Last week we had the pleasure of
spending several days at Pine Grove
attending Lutheran conference. We
had passed through the place before
but never had an opportunity to be
come acquainted with it's generous,
| whole-souled people. The town itself,
nestled at the foot Of Tussey noun
tain among sylvan woods and clusters
OF fruit trees, is much better place
than we ever knew before. 1t has
three good churches, fine academy,
nc present in charge Of Prof. Wm. II.
llosterman, and goodly proportion
of neat comfortable homes. We can
not help limiting though, that a few
days spent in picking STONES from the
streets and alleys, and several thous-
and feet of plank used in repairing
side walks, would add materially to
the appearance and comfort Of things
Pine Grove has two well-marked
peca'iaritieS, which though not at all
analogous, strike stranger very ia
vorably. The first is tha large amount
Of that delicious but rare fruit-plums.
Every lot and yard seems to have lots
of them-yea, bushels Of them. We
felt fully provoked at our black-coat
brethren for not making the meeting
of conferences week later. Then We
could have taken our share Of the plums
right along home. As it is the good
people of Pine Grove will have the eX-
ira bother to hunt up chances TO send
them, for want of rail road facilities.
However that is their lookout, not ours.
The other point which we were
going to mention is the commendable
spirit Of self denial Of the citizens.
They shift along as best they can ,,itb-
o;a licensed liquor hotel. While
there We did not see a single mar un-
der the b'fogginy inhIence Of ben
z'ne. Bravo Pine Grove, would that
we could say as much for Millheim
Only about one half of the clerical,
and even a less number of the laymCm-
bers Of conference, attend ed. Howev-
er, qlAli.y fully made up the lack of
numbers. 1t affords Us pleasure to
state that Aaronsburg ch arge had by
many odds the hedUieSt delegation on
the ground. The sessions during the
day ana services dur ing tie evenings
were we'll attended, interesting and no
doubt profitable. Live questions touch
ing the welfare Of the church, were
ably discussed. The children's meet
ing on Thursday afternoon Was marked
success thIoug Lieut.. But We cannot
partieulariz,, and will only add that
we fell in ID We with Pine Grove and its
hospitable people, and it will not take
very hard coaxing to get us up there a
gain on a similar occasion.
