The tombstones show that many of
these English men and women who came
to Boston died at an early age. The
change from the comparatively mild
climate of England to the rigor of the
North American winter, and the hard
ships peculiar to a new country, must
have told heavily ON them. 1t took a
hundred years of pretty steady feeding of

Some years ago an emigrant from the
United States kept small restaurant sit
uated in one of the great stock.raising
districts of South Australia. He was
presumably the only Yankee in those
parts. There was an enormously rich
old stock man who came into town from
his lordly cattle range at intervals, whose
nationality was a matter of doubt, though
he usually passed for a taciturn and un-
communicative bachelor Scotchman.
One day this wealthy but solitary old
chap entered the restaurant of the man
from the States. When he left he looked
hard at the proprietor, and then simply
remarked,
American, arn't you?"
On being answered in the affirmative
the millionaire cowpuncher walked away
without another word
Regularly once week he reappeared,
silently ate a hasty lunch, and made the
same stereotype inquiry, receiving the
same emphatic "Yes, sir" in reply. At
last there came time when the eccen-
trio old customer did not return. One
month went by--two. At last wagon
stopped at the door, and the old fellow,
pale and wasted with sickness, was
helped out and supported into the saloon.
He called for his usual steak with weak
but aogged determination, ate a morsel
and then tottered up to the counter. As
he paid his bill he whispered hoarsely:
american, arn't you?"
"You bet" replied the proprietor
pleasantly.
Streatchlng out his shaking hand, the
odd customer said:
"Shake! So am l.
Then he tottered away without another
word. Three days afterward a lawyer
came into our young countrymans place
and told him that the queer old guy ou'
on the Thompson range had died and let'
him cool 81, ,OOO,0

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-An official
communication received at the Navy De.
partment announces the discovery on
Rayanni, or Faster Island, on the charts
in longitude 10 degrees west and lati-
tuic - degrees south, buried in the
depths Of the vast wilderness of waters
of the South Pacific, of colossal statues
and images rudely carved in stone This
remarkable find Of archaeological remains
on a small island hundreds of miles away
from any continent, puzzles the learned
scientists Of the Smithsonian Institution
and the National Museum. Professor
Baird says on the subject; in the pres
ent advanced state of chronological science
these monuments are of the highest i'm.
portance, They will throw light on the
somewhat mysterious manner in which
this island received its population"
The discoverers of these remarkable
remains Of a prehistoric and advanced
people in part of the world synonymous
with cannibalism and savage life were
the officers of the German gunboat
Hyena, while ON a trip from Valparaiso
to the Samoan Islands. The Commander
of this vessel, while thus cruising in the
South Pacific, subsequently received or
ders from his government to visit Easter
Island and to secure these specimens.
The accounts received by our Govern.
ment indicate tina. the vessel remained
at the Island but few days, but during
that time the officers made a considera-
BE collection and copious notes. The
result of their preliminary labors have
been embraced in pamphlet, which is
reported at the Smithsonian Institution
to contain a large amount of valuable in
formation. The German Government,
1t IS understood, are making preparations
to send an expedition to Easter Island
with corps Of scientists and engineers
to sketch the island, survey the ground,
and to make plans and sections of the
prehistoric buildings and ruins.
Our own Government has also tax en-
steps to secure some of these valuable
remains for its own large and valuable
chronological collections representing the
prehistoric and known races of this hemi.
sphere. Instructions have already been
sent to Admiral Upshur in command OF
the South Pacific squadron, to send one
OF his vessels on cruise in the direction
OF Easter Island, and to make such ex.
plorations, collections, and reports as he
may think important in the interests Of
his Government. 1t is understood that
the Government of France is also turning
It's attention to this island, with a view
to the establishment of protectorate.
1t is reported in the accounts given by
the German vessel that the island, which
is small, is strewn with large stone i'm
ages and scul lptured tablets The Smith
sonian Institution has offered 81 each fo
prehistoric skulls with the lower Jaw
The few people of Polynesian extraction
who inhabit the island, know nothin,
about the sculptured remains found, anc
even tradition gives no account of peo
pie living there when their ancestors ar
rived.
