THE BUILDING.
The building is fire-proof, lofty, modern
in style of architecture, upon Grecian sug-
gestion, and is 81 by 122 feet, situated i'll
grounds $50 by 100 feet. The lower floor
was formerly the refreshment hall, ball
alley, with offices and yestibule, furnace
room, laundry, etc. The latter all remain,
but the main hall has been by the Museum
Association converted into a beautiful
lecture-room, with maroon stained walls a
stage in 4 canopied recess, seated with
chairs, hung with pictures and admirably
lighted. On this floor are closets, halls,
Mushrooms, marble basins and a spacious
vestibule, with the floor laid in orna-
mental thing. The approach to the central
floor is by an inside hlhgt of stairs, and on
the exterior, by two broad stairways from
right and left to central landing, and
thence by one broad flight to the piazza.
On this opens massive double doors
leading into the vestibule, itself a
room of large proportions, with the
door laid in tessalation, with orna-
mental tiles, and the walls finished
in fresco in the highest style of the
art. What at once imprtsses the visi'
tor is the heavy holdings; the splen-
did finish Of the woodwork, the rich
carvings, fine paneling with ornG-
mental woods and the graceful sweep
OF the stairways rising iiglt IN ltf.

of the main emit ance are the o:hce and
the parlor, richly furnished and 10

FESTIVAL OF FLOWERS.
Il was held day and evening in the great
Pavilion of the State Agricultural Society,
May g. 1885, and on that occasion Mrs.
Croker presented the deed to Mayor
Brown for the city, and the keys to Presi-
dent Lubin for the Museum Association
in the presence of vast multitude of peo-
pie. In return the people, through the
President of the Day, DIR. Simmons, and
their speaker, Judge W. II. Beatty, pre-
sented to Mrs. Croker an oaken casket
made from relics of Suffers Fort, and
richly bound in silver. In this casket
were subsequently placed two volumes
then in preparation), bound in gold and
silver and velvet, reciting the whole his
tory of the festival, and giving mass of
expressions of the press of the Union on
the subject of the lady's beneficence. Each
page is illuminated in water colors by
ladies of Sacramento, and the frontispiece
is an exquisite portrait of Mrs. Croker in
water colors, by W. f. Jackson. In addi-
ton are large number Of Photographic
views of scenes in the festival and Of the
chief floral exhibits. We cannot here find
needed space for description of the festival.
Suffice it to say, that such a wealth of
flowers was never seen in Sacramento, nor
such or so many

Of North America, during the season
Of 1885 outnumber all tho marine
casualties Of any two oceans in tho
number or vessels lost. The loss OF
life, when footed uFs Is also astound-
ing. The lakes enumerated In this estt.

a majority of the casualties, which is ex-
planned by the fact that there is more
traffic on that body of water than on all
the other lakes combined. The greatest
loss Of life by, any one disaster was at the
wreck of the magnificent steamship AL

vessel was broken to pieces on the rocks
abutting the outer harbor in Isle R0yale,
Lake Superior, and upward of fifty of her
passengers and crew perished. The in

The Emperor Claud was appealed to
by young man who complained that his
mother had disowned him. saying that he
was no son Of heYs, and In NO way en-
titled to any share Of the family property.
The Emperor investigated the matter, and
came to the conclusion that, though there
was no way of quite conclustvely proving
that tho young man was the son Of the
woman. there was yet, practically, no
doubt about it. He ordered tho woman
to be brought before him. and said to her !:

AN ANCIENT WALL.
A Stone Wall which Causes Considerable
Speculation.
lCor. Chicago Time s.

IGOR. Chicago Time
Last Friday party of gentlemen, while
at Chadron, Stout County, Neb., took a
carriage and started to find a stone wall
reported to have been found two and half
miles north of Chadron. After brief
drive and a rather tedious search thew
found the stone wall. The general lay of
the prairie is sloping to the westward and
toward the White river a depression was
found in the prairie which, with long
washings, had depressed into a gulley
some thirty feet deep, running from the
northeast to the southwest and fuIrowed
in places, increasing in downward ten
dency. This hid from view the 'wall,
until close to it, but it was found. This
wall is built across the gully from the
southeast to the northwest. The remains
areplainly visible from the top Of the banks
on either side of the gully. Iti decayed and
runs most of the way up the sides of the ra-
vine, but at the bottomit is from three to four
feethigh. 1t was laid up with regularity,
with joints broken, some kind of cement
being used. The wall is about twelve to
fourteen inches in thickness, and gives
evidence of having been there very long
time. There is rumor that traces Of ~
extend distance of seven miles. That IL
was iaiu Dy d people long since extinct Is
abundantly apparent, but when, by whom
and for what purpose is yet an unsolved
problem. The strangest feature is that
there is no stone or rock in the vicinity.
nor within very long distance of IL,
Until within the last eight months the Sec
ton was wholly unoccupied. The extern
sion of the Fremont, EIkhorn and Mis-
souri, Valley railroad (tlse EIkhorn system
of the Chicago & Northwestern railway
to Chadron last summer gave the first op-
portunity to occupy it. This stone wall
gives evidence that race of people now
extinct, and including mechanics of skill,
once had their habitation. and probably 9
walled city, there. This, of course, is mere
speculation, but that the wall of stone is
there, that it has been carefully laid up.
and OF material not found within many
miles OF there, furnishes food for the Ifye-
hest speculation. Thi is to attract atten-
ton to it, to the end that scientific investi-
gators may evolve theory which will ac-
count for 1t. That whole country is filed
with petrifactions of all kinds of the most
remarkable interest.

Another Horrible Example Of Grew Lake
Brutality-How Theophile Cavalier
Had His Feet Frozen and
Cat OF.
HOBBLING OUT HIS TINE IN THE PRISON
WALLS, As NO MORE USE TO THE
JAMES RING.

A Baton Rouge special to the Picayune
says: Theophile Cavalier. a French ne
gro. was convicted in New Orleans about
eighteen months ago and sent to the
Penitentiary to serve term Of years
for the larceny of IS. A Picayune
reporter saw him this morning in the
prison crawling about on his all fours.
both feet having been cut off just above
the ankle.
In reply to questions as to the manner
i'm which he lost his feet he said that last
fall he had been carried up to work on
the line of Nicksburg. Shreveport and
Pacific road at "A convict camp at Lake
Station; that during the cold weather he
had been forcedtO work without shoes
and as result Of this exposure his feet
were frost bitten and had to be cnt off.
On being asked as to whether or not he
was in this deplOrable condition before
he was brought to the prison he answered
very expressively that he could sing and
dance when hrSt placed In cOnflnement.
The interview took place in the pres
ence of IA guard and several convicts and
10 far from denying any part of the ne
gro's statement the case as they called it
seemed to be matter of general noto-
riety at the prison.
Cavalier as above stated, is French
negro speaking the English language 90
badly that at times fellow convict had
to act as his interpreter. tie is 4S years
of age and has been in confinement
eighteen months. When first convicted
he was sound nan, and after he lost
his legs in NORTH Louisiana, being of no
earthly value on the road, he was sent
back to gafsn Rouge to be cared for du-
til< -,i0'in1pr Of his confinement.
