RELICS.
A Celebrated Collection of Mound BUILD
ers' Utensils.

The State Geologist showed a To-
porter on Saturday the nature and use
of a large number of the mound
builders implements. This collection
comprises eleven thousand pieces of
stone fashioned by the ancient jewellers
in Indiana and Ohio. They are from
the valleys of the Ohio and Wabash,
many of them from jacksonville, o.
DR.. Hill was thirty years in buying
and hunting them out at an expense Of
$4,000. They were on exhibition at
the Centennial, and took the palm as
the rarest and most valuable collection
of the place and kind. There are
spades, hoes, axes, hammers, grinders,
pestles, skinning stones, knives, az
rows and spear points. They amount
to an emblematic history of the domes-
tic, social, religious and political life of
the mound-builders, and are the only
record by which it can be evolved from
the gloom of ages.
The heaviest implement-pestles, two
feet long, from which they rolled their
hominy and soft, new corn, grinders
with which they made acorns, hard
corn and roots into meal-are of
| granite. The hoes, knives, spades. and
axes are of flint. The pipes, totems,
spools, s%pinnerets, distaffs, and shuttles
used in spinning. and all the personal
ornaments are Of the beautiful layered
and banded ribbon slate stone-a hard
and firm rock, very handsome when
| polished. The greattotems. ''calumets"
or ''peace pipes of the different tribes
are very striking. They r as large
as tea-kettles. Each tribe had its ami
NAL, after which it fashioned its great
pipes and ornaments. The eagle, toad,
| fish, bear, fox and dog are all Iepre-
| sented in these political emblems, with
which they bulldozed and gerryman-
dcred each other. Many of the n
ments are fine enough for watch
charms.
When the reporter mildly asked DIR.
Collett ''what all this truck was good
for" and asked him for a few pieces
for his children to play with, his indig-
nation at such dense Ignorance could
scarcely restrain itself. He straight
ened his spine and telescoped himself
nearly eight feet in the air, and sur
