IT RESPECTS THE LAW.

The Lottery Company's Good Faith,
Washington telegram to Globe Democrat !
The New Orleans Postmaster, Capt. s. NJ.
Eaton. IS 4 little smOoth-taced man, honest
and shrewd. lie is a great friend OF Waf-
moth. but he has backed up the Post
mastcr-Generals efforts vigorously in the
fight on the lottery.
The year before the warfare began Mr..
Eaton says the Lottery Company bought
at the New Orleans Office S1O3. 900 worth or
stamps and stamped envelopes. For that
same year the total revenue of tine office
was sale, 0OO. So it appears that the Lot
terry Company contributed within $1,000 OF
O~ne-iourth OF the entire eyenu OF the Of

The supreme court ofthe United States

AN ANCIENT IDOL.
The Modest Clay Deity Of the Early
American Heather.

The Modest Clay Deity Of the Early
American Heather.
The State Historical Society was
enriched recently by an image OF
pottery supposed 20 be an idol OF
soma prehistoric race, probably the
.llund builders, says the Topeka
Capital. The idol was found near
Aron, independence County, Ark
and was dug from a mound by relic
hunters along with q number oil
decayed human bones, copper arrow
leads and broken domestic utensils.
Ct is the property OF q. W. Hunle'
OF Strasburg, Mo. The idol is sever
inches in height by five inches IN
diameter. 1t is rudey constructed
having evidently b~eenformed by hand
or at best very crude tools, from
common clay, and afterward hardened
by being dried in the sun.
The idol represents a una Inquire
in a kneeling posture, the arms eX-
tending at the side. The features are
rudely formed, yet, Notwithstanding
this, are not altogether repul3lve,
the nose being gracefully aquiline ana
the lips we'll formed. The ears are
missing, but the remnants show that
they were adorned with rings. Inc
body is "squatty," and might he san
to resemble a toad. At the top OF
the head there is a hole which seems
to have served a purpose, probably
that OF fastening a headdress TO the
figure. The image would hardly be
catalogued with the works OF art, but
it is nevertheless an interesting relic.
The race whose diety was represen-
ted by this clumsy bit OF clay in
habited the Mississippi Valley from
the great lakes to the gulf at a time
to which the traditions OF man run
eth not. Who they were, where they
me from, what their manner OF LIE
VAS is all a mystery. True, many
mounds, excavations and buryIng
grounds Of this lost people have been
discovered, but so lar they have
given but little OF their history. That
they lived and died before the race
of American indians existed is proved
by the fact that the traditions OF the
latterrace contain no reference to this
lost people, although their mounds
and relics are mentioned. Many
mounds OF this kind are found iii
Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tenn
essee, Ohio and Indiana, and n few
have been discovered in nearly all OF
the states OF the Mississippi valley.

WOMEN OF THE ARMY.

They Continue to Make Life Inter
esting at Frontier Posts Despite
the Monotony.
If there are any women in America
more fortunately and happily stu
ated in life than the wives and daugh-
tiers OF the officers ofthe United States
army they will have to be looked for
through a Lick telescope, leveled to
the plane OF the horizon, and then
will not be microscopically found.
There is a chivalry, though chivahy
may be jeered at, that surrounds the
wives and daughters OF our army
which makes them content under the
hardships OF moving if not wholly sat
lshed or happy in some well-favored
and desirable garrison. The wife,
being a sensible woman and an
American girl, marrying an army Off
Ger, soon catches on, knows how much
her husband gets, and that he is sure
OF 1t, and can regulate household en-
penses or 1.-the messing arrangements"
accordingly. The daughter OF one Of
ticer doesn't envy the girl of another
OF the same regiment, because she
knows lust how much both papas get.
The social life OF the army, therefore,
is largely without pickering or false
emulation, and the social features of
the army are OF a family character in
a regiment or at a post.
Let it drop at this, the praise OF en-,
comIum to be bestowed upon army
women. They are Jolly, forgiying, can
adapt themselves in every circunl.
stance, and they are the most mother.
