destructive of healthy markets, for to their
minds there is neither sense nor money
in keeping prices and values near
neighbors. Just how many of these have
been weeded out cannot be told, but
all dealers doing business in legitimate
way have not been hurt in the least by the
dizziness which set in two or three weeks
ago; on the contrary they are pleased with
what has taken place. and assert that the
situation is better and the outlook brighter
| than for many months. The boom element
has been eliminated, and if it can be kept
out and the ''unsight and unseen feature
of trading be heard of no more, the little
experience that the city has just passed
through will be of incalculable value.

In reply to an inquiry dispatch
was received from Washington last
evening saying: ''TuoMAs denies posi-

part for or against the disfranchisement

information public. If the intimation that
the gentlemen named had been working

proven correct, 1t would have been Sc

THE REAL ESTATE MARKET.

The little scare which overlook some peo.
pie couple Of weeks ago in the matter of
real estate has about passed away and buy
ers and sellers are making up their minds
that they were needlessly alarmed. They
couldn't account for the sudden falling off
in the number of transactions and the
material reduction of the amount of money
represented in the trades, and they
feared that "the bottom had fallen out. ,,
as some OF the prophets of evil expressed
it. The reaction at once set in, and before
anyone was hurt the business moved along
smoothly. To-day prices are as firm as
ever, and while the demand for lots is not
so great as it was before the scare. the
inquiry is steadily increasing and the sales
are growing as will be seen by reference
to the daily record. If anybody has lost it.

INDIANS AS SOLDIERS.

Secretary PROCTOR proposes to the in
terror department to recruit regiment of
Indian soldiers, and the idea strikes good
many down east editors favorably. They
picture it out beautifully how the noble
red man takes naturally to horse; how he
would take pride in the uniform; how he
could be trusted to make things lively for
ugly tribes, as he knows better how
Indians fight than do the whites, and they
say that being disposed to roam the life of
a-cayalry soldier would be not only to his
liking, but charming to him. We fear our
eastern friends know very little of the true
character Of the veritable live Indian, and
not much more of the cavalry soldier, while
they are deplorably ignorant of the condi-
ton OF things in the west when they talk
about lighting Indians on the frontier"
and keeping the aborigines in check"
There is no longer frontier connected
with the United States, the west being so
thickly settled that many of us whose mem
cries run back a few years begin to feel
crowded. The Indians west of the Mis-
souri, are under such excellent control that
there is little more likelihood of an out
break on their part than there is of a raid
by the tribes in New York state. The life
of cavalry soldier is about as roaming
and nomadic as that of a bank clerk or
a farmer. True, he moves from one fort
to another every three or four years, but
otherwise his roaming habits are confined
to giving his horse exercise on the parade
ground or In the vicinity of the post. There
are not many Indians who would either
enjoy that kind of life, or endure it for
many moons if there were reservation
anywhere within reach and weekly dis
tribution of rations. In our opinion it
would be putting the Indians to mighty
poor use to make them soldiers 1t
wouldn't improve them in any respect, and
they wouldn't improve the military SER
vice. The present generation of Indians
can be made to change very little; wise
and humane policy will improve the next
generation, when the redmen ought to be
good citizens or good soldiers, as the occa-
sion might require.

EVERY sLorH HIS OWN SURGEON,

This megatherium, though too large to
climb into trees, fed upon tree leaves and
branches, and used to rear up on its hind
legs. embrace the tree with its short fore legs,
and swayng it from side to side finally up
root it, DR.. Leidy argues for this habit from
its strong back legs and tail dixie the kanga-
ROOFS, and from the fact that several skele-
tons of these animals have been previously
discovered carrying signs of serious fractures
Of bones, which have been practically cured
during life
The remains of the three llamas show that
these animals must have ranged in size from
a little larger than a camel to one and a half
times as large The three toed horse, whose
bones were found in Florida, was probably
two-thirds the size Of donkey So many
teeth of mastodons were found as to enable
DR.. Leidy to trace out a complete history of
their dentition. Cuvier believed that in this
animal the three milk grinders and three
back grinders were followed in each case by
a single successor. A few years ago a Ger
man investigator announced his discovery
that each Of these sets Of three teeth was
succeeded by two teeth DR.. Leidys study

mains have also been found. The bones at
the former place were those of two giant ar
madillos, the first discovered in this country
north of Texas The other bones were found
last winter in n cave near Ocala The blast
ing of limestone brought them to light They
were those of a saber toothed tiger, about as
large as "A Bengal tiger; q llama nearly the
size of a camel; an elephant, like an Asatic
elephant, and horse, indstinguishahle
from the common horse. Among the bones
of the tiger was the skull, showing its canine
teeth, which are six inches long and hattened
out like saber This animal is now extinct,
and its remains have never before been found
east of the Mississippi DR., Leidy is satisfied
that the elephant, tiger horse and camel being
found in the same cave, lived at the same
time, and thinks it likely that the others had
been brought to the spot by the tiger as its
food. The finding of the bones Of horse is
considered strong evidence that the common
horse once existed on this continent and after
ward became extinct These aninslls are also
placed in the quatenary period

scientists had not been turned toward Florida

Big boxes full Of curious old bones have
been arriving at the biological school Of the
University Of Penn, ylyania, pending rest
ing place in the working room Of Professor
Joseph Leidy, the famous anatomist, Ger
tain marksa have indicated that they came
from Archer, Levy county, Fla The speci-
mems have been carefully wrapped up in
Florida moss and other packing to prevent
breaking on the way north.
These bones are hundreds of years old
They belong to extinct creatures of the qua
ternary period. DR.. Leidy has been hard at
work Identifying the animals Of which the
bones form apart, and this Identification is
now completa9 His conclusions are now very
interesting. &he chief bones, he says, are
those OF a rhinoceros, a mastodon, llama, a
three toed horse and giant sloth There
are also parts Of q tapir, a small crocodile
and gar pike.
In 1857, gentleman living in Archer, In
northern Florida, found some fossil bones in
beds of clay, and wrote to the late Professor
Baird, of the Smithsonian institute, about
them. At that time scientists were not ex-
pecting the discovery of fossil remains in
Florida at all, and Professor Baird, becoming
interested, suggested to DR., Leidy that he go
there and search for more bones DR.. Leidy,
being unable to do so, interested Maj Powell,
superintendent Of the United States geolog-
zeal survey, in the matter and the latter sent
one Of his assistants, Mr. Dali, to Archer for
two weeks.
