mound was explored for short dis
tapce, and 10 of the flint arrows were
found all in heap by themselves. Sew.
eral stone axes and many specimens OF
mica were also found. In others o.
these tumuli, all covered with trees OF
large size, caches have been found, some
of them containing parched corn.
These mounds are traced from Ran
dolph down the Allegheny river to the
Ohio, and westward to Lake Superior,
and thence into Wisconsin, where the
most remarkable mounds on the conti-
nent exist. Antiquaries outline six dis
tinct eff gies of animals, six parallelo-
grams. one great circle, and an i'm
mense etiigy of the human figure. The
mastodon is one of the animals outlin-
ed. which, taken in connection with the
fact that remains of that animal have
been unearthed in nearly all OF the To-
calities where the mounds are found,
has led at least one antiquary-Prof.
Lakin, of this place, whose contribu-
tions on the subject are well known to
the scientific world,-to adopt the theo-
ry that the mound builders made tie
mastodon subject to their wills, AS the
elephant and horse are to the races OF
to-day. Many remains of mastodons
have been found in the Conewango
valley.

Two lads of l6 or 8 years OF age, named
VIM. Cooper and Albert Myers, residing at the
West Eud were arrested by the police yes
terday and lodged in Jail on the serious
charge OF grand larceny, their cases coming
before the Grand Jury which meets one week
from next Monday. For some time past,
perhaps two months, the cash in the till OF
Wallingsfords grocery, near Yellow Springs
street, hasn't corresponded to the amount OF
goods the proprietor knew to have been sold,
but he couldn't account for the discrepancy
and was beginning to suspect young man
who had recently entered his employment.
Watch was kept, however, and soon suspicion
attached to Myers and Cooper with rea.
souable certainty they were the guilty
ones. Both had been in the hab

and were sometimes employed at chores, TO
the cigars or something OF that sort. The.
were accordingly arrested and confessed Il

Colonial mead Dresses.

From the illustrated paper by Ed
ward Eggleston, on the home life OF
the colonists. in the April Century, we
quote the following: "The dressing
of women's hair kept pace with that
of men. The .commode' or tower
head-dress rose to great height in
the days of Queen Anne. and then de-
clined to rise into new deformity in
the years just preceding the American
Revolution. In 177l bright young
girl in Boston wrote to her mother in
the country a description OF the con"
struction upon her own head of one OF
these coitfures, composed of roll Of
red cows tail mixed with horse-hair
and a little human hair OF a yellow
color, all carded and twisted together
and built up until by actual measure
ment the superstlucture was an inch
longer than the face below it. OF a
hair-dresser at work on another lady s
head, she says: 81 saw him twist and
tug and pick and cut off whole locks OF
gray hair at slice for the space of an
hour and half, when l left him, he
seeming not to be near done One
NAV Judge of the vital necessity there
was for all this art from the fact that a
certain lady in Annapolis about the
close of the colonial period was &C.
customed to pay six hundred dollars
year for the dressing Of her hair. Or
great occasions the hair-dresser's time
was so fully occupied that some ladiei
| were obliged to have their mountain
GUS coiffures built up two days before
hand, and to sleep sitting in thei
chairs, or, according to a Philadelphia
tradition, with their heads inclosed il

An Interview with the wonder OF the
scientific Worlds Many Persons Called
Upon Her at the Lsgonda House This
Morning.
Accepting an invitation extended by DIR.
George G. Shelby, number OF medical men
of the city aud representatives of the press
called at the Lagonda House, this morning,
TOR an interview with the celebrated krao
Many OF the citizens OF Springfield have heard
and read OF Krao, but few, it is probable,
have any definite idea as to what she II,
whether she is beast, human, or manufactured |
museum attraction. In view OF the ex-
perience OF the public with mermaids and
similar curiosities the latter belief has the
majority of adherents.
On reaching the hotel the visitors were
shown into the psrlors where Dr. Shelby and
his tair charge were waiting. krao, at this
time was sitting on a chair with veil over
her face and looked like any ordinary child
of ten or twelve years. As soon as the visit
ors had entered and the door was closed the
| doctor told her to remove her veil. The first
thing to attract the attention of the observers
was the growth OF thick, jet-black hair which
covers her head, extending from the eye
brows to thu neck, and forming perfect
wave on her shoulders. DR.. Shelby recited
the circumstances OF her capture in Siam,
about four years ago, at which time the
child and both parents were taken.
De then, after calling attention 10 the
peculiar manner in which the hair grows.
| pointed out other characteristics of the race
10 which she belongs. Among these are the
absence OF cartege in the nose and ears the
presence of thirteen ribs on each side, and ter
facial resemblance to the gorilla. The eyes
are Of deep bla'k without any iris and the
lashes are extraordinarily thick and heavy
| Her natural attitude, when sitting, is remark
ably like that OF a monkey. This resemblance
is further born out by the peculiarities OF her
hands. In grasping anything she never uses
her thumbs, but does it all with the hrst
phalanges. The doctor twisted her fingers
around in all directions, bending them back
until the tops touched the back OF the hand
The prehensile power OF her toes is also
most striking. Throwing handerchie
upon the floor, the doctor ordered her TO baud
il to him, which she did with great ease
This, too, was done with her stocking on
The many peculiarities, however. which were
pointed out by The doctor, and the account OF
the habits OF Krao's people, would make toe
lengthy an article for our paper. 1t must bt
noticed, however, that Krao, in many respects
is remarkably intelligent and bright. Since
; her capture, four years ago, she has learned
! to speak German and English, to read anC
write, and many other accomplishment
!, which it would appear impossible to acquir
u IN 50 short time. Let il be remembered b.
. the public that Krao is not q monstrosity
u but representative OF race which seems t

MOUND.BUILDERS' ERA.
Many Evid snces of Past Race In ahd
About Randolph.

A correspondent writes from Ram
dolph, N. Y, to the New York Times
as follows: There are in this place and
vicinity very remarkable reminders of
the mound d-builders' era, in the form Of
peculiar elevations and 'hummocks,"
several of which have been opened
from time to time and many interesting
relics taken from them. Near the
mouth of Cattaraugus creek commences
series Of works that extends to the
Conewango valley. Between Lake Erie
and Dayton, Chautauqua county, are
the remains of "A circular sepulchral
mound. The mound has an elevation
of 10 feet, and is 120 feet in circumfer.
ence. According to antiquaries, this
mound must have been the mausoleum
of some great warrior. In the towns
of Lear and Conewango excavations
were made some years ago in several OF
these mounds. In one of them eight
skeletons were found. They were in
sitting posture and arranged in cir
Gle. Large blocks of mica were found
in some of the mounds among the skel-
etons. This material is found so fire.

sacred relic by the extinct race whose
work still remains in the most gigantic
of earthworks all over this continent.
A mound was once opened in the CEN
ter of Randolph village. Three skele-
tons were found in it, and beautiful
specimen OF mica. On this mound was
O tree three feet in diameter, the roots
of which had grown down into the an
cient sepulcher and entwined them
selves about the skeletons. When the
first settlers came to this vicinity the
remains of many Notifications, mounds,
| caches, hearths, and other evidences Of
I the extinct race were well defined.
Many Of these are still in such preserva-
ton as to present a record at once in
teresting aud intelligent to the anti
auarian student. Near the station of
the New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio
railroad is a peculiar earth formation
| which was designed by those who fash
ioned it thousands of years ago to rep
resent a serpent, according to the con-
clusion of those who have read the GUS
toms of the mound-builders by the
monuments they have left. This par
ticular formation is 425 feet long, and
enthusiastic antiquaries who visit it are
unanimous in the resemblance it pre-
sents to snake basking in the sun
shine. A farmer, on whose land this
symbol is situated, was plowing near
the head of the serpent few years
since. This stump was eight feet in cir
cumference. and was undoubted evi.

farmer. in plowing around the end ol

By descent the banana is developed
tropical lily. not at all remotely allied
to the common iris, only that its iiow-
ers and fruit are clustered together on
a hanging spike instead OF growing
solitary and separate as in the true
irises. The blossoms which, though
pretty, are comparatively inconspicu-
Gus for the size of the plant, show the
extraordinary persisten of the lily
type: for almost all the vast number Of
species more or less directly descended
from the primitive lily continue to the
very end Of the chapter to have six
petals. six stamcns and three rows of
seeds in their fruits or capsules. But
practical man. with his eye always
steadily fixed on the one important
quality of edibility--the sum and sub
stance to most people OF Ill botanical
research-has confined his attention
almost entirely to the fruit of the ban
| ana. In all essentials (other than the
/ Systematically unimportant one Just
| alluded toy the banana fruit in its orig
inal state exactly resembles the capsule
of the iris-that pretty pod that divides
in three when ripe. and shows the del
icate orangc-coated seed lying in triple
rows within-only, in the banana, the
fruit does not open; in the sweet

This Is the proper appearance OF the

seeds, interSpersed with UP, and

of the dividing wall whicn once sep

the banana differs widely from this
theoretical ideal, as practice often UtH
differ from theory; for it has been SO
long cultivated and selected by man
being probably one of the very oldest,
if not actually quite the oldest, OF do
mesticated plants-that it has all bu,
lost the original habit OF producing
seeds. This is Il common effect OF cul
tivation on fruits, and il i OF course
deliberately aimed at by horiicuturis,s
as the seeds are generally nuisance
regarded from the point OF view Of the
eater, and their absence improves thu
fruit, as long as one can manage to ge
along somehow without them. In thu
