Daniel Mcsweeney's New Office.

months past, has been pulled out from his feshy
sticking joint and given comfortable berth in
the San Francisco CUSTOM house McSweeaey
has been appointed especial Inspector with a
salary of S. day. There has been no special
inspector of customs heretofore. but Mr.. Nc
Sweeney's greatness warranted the creation Of
an office for his benefit. What his duties will be
has not yet developed, but it is possible that Col
lector Hager, upon whom devolves the pleasant
task of assigning Daniel to duty, NAV send him
to the Farallones to inspect the gull eggs, and
report upon their dutiabeness. Mr. McSweeney
was an applicant before the throne of the Presi-
dent for the Office of collector of this customs
district, and while there is desire on the part
OF anyone to make comparisons, which are
always odious, his experience suggests the story
OF the citizen of Ohio who went to Washington
to take the mission to the court of St James,
and who recently left Washington, after taking
a pair OF old shoes to replace those he had worn
out on the White House steps.

Rev. Pierce is of singularly unobtrusive dis

Therefore the revelations have caused decided
sensation, not only among the members of his

to do so, but it might as well have been pub

PIUIE ASTRONOMY.
Aboriginal Theories About the Father and
Mother of the Stars.

San Francisco Alta.
Dan De guile has been interviewing Tooroop
Eenah, Desert Fatherl on astronomy, with the
following results
Divested of Desert Fathers" peculiar pro-
nunciations it was as follows: 1.-THE sun is the
father and ruler of the heavens. He is the big
chief The moon is his wife and the stars are
their children. The sun eats his children when
ever he can catch them. They fee before him
and are all the time afraid when he is passing
through the heavens. When he their father
appears in the morning, you see all the stars his
children. fly out of signt-go away back into the
blue of the above-and they do not wake to be
seen again until he, their father is about going
to his bed.
Down deep under the ground-deep, deep
under al! the grounds great hole. At night
when he has passed over the world looked down
on everything and finished his work, he, the sun,
goes into his hole and he crawls and creeps
along it till he comes to his bed in the middle
part of the earth So then he, the sun, sleeps
there in his bed all night.
This hole is so little and he, the sum- is so
big that he cannot turn round in it, and so he
must when he has had all his sleep, pass on
through, and in the morning we see him come
out in the east. When he the SUM- has so come
out he begins to hunt up through the sky to
catch and eat any that he can of the stars, his
children; for if he does not so catch and eat he
cannot live. He. the sun, is not all seen. The
shape of him is like snake lizard. 1t is not
his Hedu LnaC we can see, Out Ills belly, DlleQ up
with the stars that times and times he has swal-
lowed.
'The moon is the mother of the heavens and is
the wife of the sun. She, the moon, goes into

were transported seems to be proved by the fact
that no other bones of the two skeletons were
found In the immediate vicinity, and that they
were transported by water before the peat de-
post began seems probable. The broken por-
tions OF the human skull have the appearance of
having been worn by water action. and the dis
ISOLATION of the jaw and Uranium would also in
dictate the method of removal from the rest OF
the skeleton. Had it been a settling of heavy
body through the peat we could hardly expect
that the skull and jaw alone would have settled
to hard pan, and the rest of the bones of the
skeleton to have been nowhere near them; aud
the same remark would apply to the skull
of the mastodon. The skull has been placed in
my hands for careful study and comparison, and
hope soon to be able to give definite informa-
ton IN regard to it. Unfortunately, the skull is
not a typical one, and the averaging and
careful balancing Of its characters will have to
be made before its race affnities can be deter
mined. In regard to its color, may add that it
is as deep, if not deeper. brown than the bones of
the mastodon Its comparatively perfect preser

Is however, remarkable; but this could be easily
accounted for by the longer exposure of the mas
todon bones on the surface of a gravel deposit
before being washed into the BASIN"

Public Men as Playwrights.

Washington Letter in Cleveland Leader
Some of the prominent men here write plays
for their own amusement, and the statement was
published not long ago that General Logan had
written several dramas. In Van Buren's time
George Washington Parke GUSTS, Washington's
adopted son, wrote play called "Pocahontas,
which was produced at the National, and had a
very successful run. Shortly after this General
Alexander McComb, who was then at the bead of
the army of the United States, wrote Indian
play, which he entitled Pontiac; or, The Siege
of Detroit" This was also played upon the
National stage, and the Marine Corps aided in
its production.

The Vice-President at Home.

chicago news
Noble Davis, Indianapolis: I am rather of the
opinion that the home measurement Of Vice
president Hendricks has shrunk considerably
during the summer and early fall. He doesn't
seem to have as much displacement as it was
thought he had when he started out to run the
administration. You see we have about come to
the conclusion that he isn't running it enough
for it to feel its pressure. He has been able to
get man in place here and there, but after all
he isn't making much noise, even for second
fiddle. But, in all probability, Indiana isn't half
so much disappointed in Hendricks as he is in
himself. He committed the objectionable sin
of Understanding Mr.. Cleveland, and it
wouldn't surprise me much if his card should
find its way under the White House table quite
regularly before his term is out. Of course he
will try to sit into the game at the next conven-
ton, but fancy that place will be left open
for him. Thomas seems to be in the position of
man who is playing his last engagement.

MAN AND MASTODON.
Discovery that, 1t Is Thought, Proves the
CO-Existence of the Two.


Boston Special.
The finding of the tusks teeth, and portions
of the skull of a mastodon as we'll as a human
skull, in North borough, Mass has already been
noted. The most important point OF the discov-
cry supposed to be the finding of the human
skull. This fact. it was thought, might inferen-
TALLY prove the co-existence of man and the mas
todon. Professor f. w. Putnam, Of Cambridge
was invited 20 inspect the relics and the place
where they were found. and in the current num-
Der of Science he m axes the following report:
Il was unable to visit the place until Oct. IT,
four days after the skull had been found. Dur
ing this visit made careful study of the peat
formation and the underlying blue clay, which
take to be the bowlder clay covering the bottom
OF the basin or old pond, which is some four or
five acres in area. Over this blue clay contain
ing both round and split stones, the deposit of
peat has taken place. The two skulls, mastodou
and human, were unquestionably at the bottom
OF this peat, both resting on the blue clay but
owing to the inclination of the basin toward the
northeast from the spot where the human
skull found, there were two feet less
of peat over the skull than there were
over the mastodon. The qualification of the
peat was quite marked, and the lower portion
Immediately covering the two skulls is very fine

few small pieces of wood were found at the
bottom of the peat, several large logs and what

BORROWED SERMONS.
Rev. George II. Pierce, of Terre Haute, Ac-
cused of Plagiarism.

Terre Haute Special.
The efforts of the friends Of prominent min
lister of this city TO keep down a scandal affect
ing him have failed, although they succeeded in
suppressing the matter in the daily newspapers.
1t has caused quite a sensation here on account
of the high standing and reputed ability Of the
gentleman. The facts are as follows:
For some time past Rev. George r Pierce,
pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, has
been preaching some excellent sermons which
have attracted more than ordinary attention
among the church goers of Terre Haute Rev.
Pierce's congregation began to brag on him, and
to invite their less fortunate friends who were
attending other churches, to come and hear this
new Beecher expound the gospel So charmed
were those who fiocked to hear the PRESBYTERIAN
divine that his church was experiencing a decid-
ed boom. and the members were concentrating
one another that they had at last secured pas
tor whose eloquence was something wonderful
to behold
But then came heartless awakening On
Sunday, Nov. j, Mr.. Pierce delighted his hearers
with sermon based upon the hrst to the four
teenth verses OF the fourteenth chapter of Mat
thew 1t was powerful effort At the close he
was complimented highly by the pillars of the
church, who declared they never heard such a
truly brilliant Sermon and Rev. Pierce's elo-
quence might just then be said to have been
above par. But there was among the listeners
on this eventual night young man who thought
he had read that sermon somewhere before and
he began to look around. He had syly sus
pected the reverend gentleman of plagiarism for
some time, and now he had a chance to distin-
gush himself. He began to look around. He
took down an edition of Joseph Parkers ser
mons and there his eye beheld the identical SER
i. Eaon. He fastened to an elder with his find. Sew
oral of the other pillars were called together and
conference was held. They decided to call the
reverend gentleman and demand an explanation
This was done, and the divine meekly admitted
that he had copied the sermon and given it as
ms own from manuscript. He said his wife had
been sick for some time, and not having the time
nor frame OF mind necessary to prepare an
original sermon, he appropriated Dr. Parkers
thoughts as his own.
The deaeons knew it was true that the minis
ters wife had been sick, but closer inspection
OF the book revealed the startling fact that
the divine had only sixty or seventy pages to
go through and he would have completed
the book. He had fred about two hundred
pages of Parker at his delighted con-
gregation and il he had only been let alone he
> would have given them a full dose For while
the self-appointed investigating committee were
disposed to sympathize with Rev. Pierce who is
"a man of gentle and winning ways; but the
storm gathered about his head as the fact be-
