Astec Relies.

Jacob z. Davis has enriched the
State Mining Bureau with gifts Of
models of the Aztez calendar stone,
the sacrificial stone, and some genuine
obsdian knives, which were once ac-
tually used by priests in taking the
hearts from the bodies of those sacri-
feed. The models are made in plas-
ter, and colored to resemble the black
basat of which the originals are made.
The calendar stone at Mexico is seven
feet in diameter The face is fac
simile of the mystic symbols or signs
by which periods of time were marked
by the Aztecs, and the sides are elabo
rately carved. The stone is circular,
on square base, in which are cut
lines and figures, which doubtless had
an important meaning. The sacri6cial
stone possesses more melancholy in
terest. The original is thirteen feet
across its face, which is filled with con-
centric channels cut in circles around
the central bowl. From this bowl a
channel is cut straight across to the
edge of the stone, intersecting the cir
cular channels and gradually widening
toward the outer edge, to accommo-
date and carry off the blood that
flowed from the human sacrifices -

Col. Higginson, writing in the Bass,,
tells Of lady who said that she should
look forward with perfect satisfaction to
the coming Summer, if she knew that
there was not such thing as lady
correspondent in the world, and he
himself adds, reckoning up her tribula-
tions, that she knew that, if there were
a wedding in her house the most inti-
mate details of the trousseau would be
seen, and reported, or imagined and re-
ported. Little does he, in his mascu-
line honesty, know of the wiles Of the
"lady correspondent" that is to say,
the "lady who feels that she stoops in
becoming correspondent" A woman
who by virtue of her family's import
ance and elevation of her own character
leads society in one of the principal
cities OF the country, tells good story
of one of these persons. "I sent her a
card for the church when my daughter
was married." she says, "because, as
Carlyle remarked to Mallock, 4 knew

termined that she should not enter my

very cream of my guests appeared, in
she walked, cool as an arctic snow,
clung to my best usher's arm and
forced him to show her the presents,
then mercifully sent him off, took notes
of gowns for time, and then pounced
on the young man of the evening, made
him leave his party and take her down
to supper, and then, calm as Summer
zephyr, hoated up to me with: Good
evening. 1t has been beautiful we'd

for an opportunity to see everything

upbuild the cause of the natives and
the foreign taxpayers against the com
mon ruin which is staring the nation in
the face.
The surest way to accomplish this
is to turn the acts and neglect of
the present Administration against
those in power. Practical electioneer-
ing on the part of the taxpayers will
accomplish this; if not at this election
at the next. For instance, the people,
both whites and natives, living'on a
certain street in Honolulu, have re-
peatedly asked that the street and sani-
tary condition of the neighborhood be
improved. The Government has per.
sistantly neglected it. The people who
live on this street, seeing no means of
redress, have gone to work practically
among the natives, and out of seven
teen votes IN the neighborhood have
secured eight votes for the Opposition
at the coming election. These rites
are not to be dasf against the King, I'm
against his .taffhieSs ministers. OF
course it is at present useless to at
tempt to carry all four of the repre-
sentatives for Honolulu, owing to the
votes Of the police force and the
soldiers (who, by the way, will be mostly
disbanded after electIon); but if the
electioneering energy of the Opposition
be practically expended in the outside
districts of Oahu and in the Other
Islands, in the above practical manner
the result will be the defeat of the
Government party and the advent O
justice and prosperity.

to take up for Holland, but it is. vesy difficult for me to do SO. The only reasonable explanation for his conduct is that he intended to get away with the SIo 900 in good money which he knew Davis used. Probably the motions ol Davis in lifting up his coat to show that he was unarmed led the Texan to sup pose that the sawdust man had pistol concealed under his clothes, so he fired at once.
 During the Russian Turkish war, abou, the time that the Russian army was try ing to cross the Danube, an Austrian was asked with which side he sympathised. He replied that he hoped the Russians would get drowned in crossing the Danube, and that the Turks on the oppo- site bank would laugh themselves to death over the catastrophe.
 There are great many people who en- tertain similar views in regard to Holland and Davis. Both of them can be very well spared.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED.

In the following we answer inquiries that have gradually accumulated in this office:
 The salary of the governor of Arkan- saw does not enable him to ride veloci- pede.
 Corn grows best during the summer months.
 The cotton crop is always short.
 We have excellent rains during the winter.
 In this state Christmas is rarely late ex- cept when the season is unusually back ward.
 Fish arc often slow about biting but turtles bite pretty freely.
 The Arkansaw river runs down stream.
 The Memphis & Little Rock railroad is not navigable for sliffs except during three months of the year. Trains when on the track are generally on time. The legislature once declared the road navis- able for large boass but it was soon dis covered to be dangerous. We cannot furnish statistics concerning the number of wrecks that have occurred on the road as the train which is nov due is one hour late. Yes, detectives are employed. They are sent out to find the trains. Experts are frequently successfal.

Written for THE ARKANsAw TRAVELLER. AUNT ROXY" AND NEW ENG
 LAND PIE"
BY JENNIE PORTER ARNOLD.

So my piece of "New England Pie'
 made Aunt Roxy's "blood bile," did it
 Dear old lady, I can imagine how hel false frissettes and cap border bris,led
 with indignation that that are gal ,
 should have dared to "impose on lem ,
 her "juvenile" opinions on such a
 weighty subject as pie-crust and pork fat wish to pay all reverence to old age and gray hairs, and would not willingly speak one disrespectful word of the old lady, but from her manner of writing one cannot avoid the conclusion that Aunt Roxy is an antiquated spinster-who hay ing missed the end and aim of her exist ence- that getting husband-has been compelled in her declining years to ac. cept the situation of pastry cook in city or factory village boarding-house. How else could the dear old lady have learned so much of baseball, bisickle and hoss races, skatin' rinks an midnight muse ments9" 7" Surely she cannot intend to ac- cuse our steady New England farmers with indulging in such ungodly muse ments" Though one would be led to that conclusion from her attempts at ar- gument, as she tries to prove that the de- popula ation of the rural districts is owing more to these things than to the pig-pen but with the garrulity of old age she has doubtless wandered from her subject and forgotten her logic in her indignation. Probably, too, the old lady has mislaid her specs" or her means of information are limited, or she might have read the interesting discussion in the late medical journals regarding the fact, which statis- tics abundantly prove that consumption and all lung and bilious diseases are far more prevalent in the country than in the city, though the naturally pure air and the abundance of fruit, would seem to in- dicate that the reverse should be true.
 These facts all the dear old lady's sar- castle wit cannot disprove, though I am very willing to be convinced of my error, if. what Rose Terry Cooke calls "the curse of New England, the three P's- pork, pie and pickles," is not prolific source of the trouble
 Now, if Henry Ward Beecher is right that half the people think they are pi-us when they are only bilious," and as facetious western friend remarks "there is close connection between Puritan pie and Puritan pi-e-ty," then Aunt Roxy who, dear old soul, doubtless makes a pie delicious enough to tempt an anchorite-is helping to regenerate the ungodly by awakening their conscience and increas. ing their piety through the horrors of in- digestion.
 "A fellow feeling makes us wondrous kind ;" is that the secret of Aunt Roxy's indignant defense of her favori,e "pig?,
 But notwithstanding all the wit and wis., dom of the blessed old soul there is no denying that the omnipresent pill box still remains on the pantry sheli and the work of death goes bravely on.

The widow Biake1lors declared tha; her lands had never before produced so fine crop. How fortunate it was that I had met Haywood.
 "You must promise to stay with me all the time. do not see how l can do without you"
 "I am willing to remain during an- other season." replied.
 "I hope that you and Laura will get along better. However, that makes no difference as Laura is soon to be mar ried."
 "Does she love Boisseau ?" I could not help but ask.
 "Oh, l suppose she does. Laura is a very strange girl"
 "So have discovered"
 " It is my desire to see Laura and Bois- seau married. He is an influential and wealthy man."
 (" don't like him."
 "Why2"
 "I don't know. Probably it Is because his upper lip is too short"
 "That may be, but his bank account is very long,"
 Laura entered the room. "Maw, l want to go to the sociable at MT. Hay woods tonight. Can you go with me ?"
 "No, l don't feel like going"
 twill you go, MT. Crenshaw2" the girl asked.
 "No, thank you," replied. "The fields are in such bad condition that am ashamed to go out anywhere"
 "Well, you needn't go, Mir. lmpu- dence."
 "An right. Glad you excuse me-"
 l was almost dying to go with her but l would rather have died than to go. l was determined to show my independence.
 After supper, while was sitting in the parlor, Laura entered, and, oblivious to my presence, she seated herself at the piano and sang "When the Swallows Homeward Fly" pretended to pay no attention to the song. She turned, looked at me and said
 "I thought you liked music"
 "I do like mxsie."
 "You arc the most hateful man ever saw"
 "And you have seen several men, too, eh2"
 "Yes, I have seen one more than care to see"
 "Who is that, Boisseau?"
 "You ought to be ashamed of your self"

 She burst into tears. ".Miss Laura.~ said l, ~please do not be hurt at what said. l really did not mean to wound you. Your days of annoyance will soon be over, for am going away. l cannot stay here"
