of strikes partici larly, and of life incl
dentalIy. and showed a mind capable
of graphing with intricate subjects, and
that our young friend was Lord of
Himself"
"a Woman's Reason" the closing es-
say by Miss Williams, was an excellent
production, full of thoughts which had
evidently been carefully gathered to
gether, sifted down. and garnered into d
paper that contained much in every line |
and sentence. and as whole, was such |
that it carried the audience with the |
reader.

Msxioan Pyramids.

The pyramid OF Papantla is not built
OF brick or OF clay mixed with whinstone'
as are most OF those in Mexico. but OF
immense blocks Of porphyry, in the seams
Of which mortar may still be distinguished.
The base Of the pyramid is an exact square
each side eighty.two feet long. with per.
pendicular height OF sixty feet. Like all
Mexican teocallis, or places Of human
sacrifice. it is composed Of successive
stages, . great stsreway leading to the
truncated summit summit. Hieroglyphics
and strange figures s-serpents, frogs and
crocodiles carved in relief on the
faced stones OF each story, while the
square inches in every terrace, three hun
dred and sixiy-six in number. have given
rise to . conjecture that they may have had
some connection with the ancient
Toltec calendar. The twelve additional
inches that appear in the stair toward the
east perhaps stood for the twelve useless
days at the end OF their cycle.
This edifice is remarkable, not so much
for sizs Us for perfect symmetry, the polish
OF the stones and the regularity OF their
cnt In his great work on New Spain,
Baron Humboldt refers to the analogy Of
the brick monuments Of Mexico 10 the
temple OF Belus. at Babylon. and the pyra.
mids near Sakhara in Egypt. Says he:

The Field Trials.

GRAND JUNCTION, Tenn, Dec. 1S.-To-day
was bright aud pleasant, making the sport
very enjoyable, after the previous bad
weather, and giving the dogs every oppor-
tunity for doing good work. To satisfy the
owner of Niobe, the judges reversed their
decision and allowed her to run against Rich
mond In order to decide which dog should
contest second place with Daisy F. Rich
mond won and was then put down against
Daisy for second place. Richmond Is a
fine pointer, and did good work, scoring sew
eral points,. He, however, could not equal
the setter In speed, and Daisy F was declared
the winner of second money after heat of
one hour. Daiss is owned by the Rose g.
Dudley kennel of Nashville. Lillian and
Richmond received third money. This closed
the race for the all aged stake. The first
brace in the Derby were Ben Hurd and Little
Nell the latter winning in 40 minutes.
Chance Ne defeated Gladstone Girl. Chance
Is very stylish and showed nne speed and
range The heat lasted an hour and fifteen
minutes, and Nat Goodwin beat Dante In an
easy race, neither doing any brilliant work.
Jean Vatican and Kateyna were to have been
in the next race. but Kateyna was drawn by
her owner, and the heat awarded to Jean Val
jean. Ruby D. next beat Talley1and. Hust-
ling Hannah then beat Wanda. The contest
between Casio and Gladstone was exciting.
Casio is styliso, very quick and has good
range. He did fine work, and won the heat
in 30 minutes. Keystone and Royal were the
next brace. and the heat was won by the
former after q very close race.
