A Monster American Pyramid.

A gigantic pyramid, the most interesting
relic to the antiquarian now on the Amer
lean continent, lies few miles to the west
Of Pueblo, Old Mexico. The spot is easy
Of access, and has been visited by every
traveller Of note, either American born or
foreign, who has interested himself in the
least in hoary antiquities 1t rises sud
denly from the plain and is built of huge
adObcs or large unburned bricks AL
though mutilated and overgrown with
trees, the massive base and four stories of
the gigantic structure are yet almost en-
tire Humboldt describes it as u work of
such magnitude and yastness as, next to
the pyramids of Egypt, has never before
been seen in the world. It's height is Ia
feet, and the sides of its base 1855 feet,
being 275 feet lower than the great pyra-
mid of Cheops, and 627 feet longer
The brick material is interspersed with
layers Of stone and mortar, and the four
stories are connected with each other by
broad terraces. These are assembled from
bench to bench by regular and oblique
flights of steps which lead to little chapel
at the top which has been dedicated to the
Virgin of Remedies In strengthening out
the road which leads from the City of
Mexico to Pueblo it became necessary to
traverse a portion Of the base of this an
cient monument. In cutting down a sec
ton Of the base an interior chamber built
of stone and rooted with beams of cypress
was laid bare. In it were found skeletons,
idols of clay, stone and bronze, and num-
Der Of pottery vessels, curiously vanished
and painted.-St. Louis Republic

A fact which has been commented upon
recently is that there is an almost entire
absence Of poisoning cases from adulterated
candy, which were so numerous in former
years. This evil mt one time became so Sc
rious that an association was formed for
the distinct purpose of securing the passage
of special statutes in various states making
the adulteration of confectionery with any
substance injurious to health punishable
by a heavy liue; and for several years lib
eral rewards have been offered by this asso-
ciatiou as well as by its individual mem
bels, for evidence against any offender
sufficient to obtain conviction under the
laws, the association assuming the cost
ana responsibility Of the prosecution
In New York and Brooklyn there are n
large number of firms, including all the
large manufacturers of confectionery, who
are pledged to the prosecution Of all offend
ers against the special statutes passed by
tEa legislature on this subject, and by APP
