w. G. Renfrew, of Russell, Arkansas,
and Captain w. J. Patton, of Little
Rock, arrived in this city to-day on
their way to Washington, d G. The
object of their visit to Washington is
to exhibit to the officers of Smithsonian
Institute the Eureka Baby" 3 speci-
men of archaeology found on the 1st Of
last October, at Eureka Springs, Arkan.
sas. The baby was found about four
feet below the surface on the lot of John
was discovered by laborer named F.
81. Campbell, while he was digging
we'll. The baby had a coating Of COM
position about as light as pumice- stone,
but this covering, varying in thickness
from half an inch to an inch and half,
has since been removed from the entire
head and shoulders and. the right side Of
the body. showing one leg complete.
The baby is two feet and two inches
long, and weighs, with the composition
coating, eighty five pounds. The head
and limbs exposed are said to be rightly
proportioned. The cheeks are puffed
out aud the legs and arms are plump.
The general color of the baby is BLUSH
brown, varying in lightness. The baby
looks very much like Hindoo idol.
Mr.. Renfrew, the present owner of the
baby, has found good many people
who believe 1t to be petrified human,
but it is hardly necessary to say that this
opinion is not held by scientist. The
body is evidently work of art, and the
first important question to be determ-
ined in connection with it is in regard
to the time it was deposited at the place.
where it was found by the well-digger,
Campbell. Whether it was placed there
by prehistoric race, or by q represent
alive of the present race. the people of
the Smithsonian Institute will be called
upon to decide.

How TO DROP MONEY AT CHURCH.
"A facetious exchange gives the follow
ing rules for dropping money into the
contribution box at chnrch: First, If
you feel particularly mean and have
only penny to bestow, you must keep
it we'll covered in your hand, and when
the box is under your nose you must,
with quick, nervous motion, let your
mite fall so that it shall escape observa-
tion /; second, if you have quarter or
any other silver coin of considerable
size to give, you may hold it in plain
sight between your thumb and fOrefin-
ger, and when you deposit it you must
let it drop from q comparatively lofty
elevation. 80 that it may make q must.
cal jingle when it reaches its destina-
ton /; thirdly, if you contemplate Offer
ing bill, you must not take the money
out of your vest pocket until the happy
time comes when your neighbors can
best see your unparalleled generosity.
The moment the collector appears at
the pew door is the one when you must
tumble for your money, and then hav-
ing methodically unfolded the bill and
put on your eye glasses to ascertain it's
denomination, you may slowly put it
on the top of the box. These three
rules, we believe, will be sufficient for
all ordinary purposes. N. B.-A button
should always be placed In blank en-
velope.

The SYMPTOMS of Liver Complaints are a
bitter or bad taste in the mouth: Pain in the
Back, Sides or Joints, often mistaken for Rheu-

Bowels alternately costive and lax; Headach );
Loss of Memory, with a painful sensation OF
having failed to do something which ought to
have been done; Debility. Low Spirits. a
thick yellow appearance of the Skin and eyes,
a dry Cough often mistaken for Consumption.
Sometimes many of the symptoms attend tn g

largest organ in the body, is generally the se,s
of the disease and if not Regulated in time,
