One Consolation.

When the late Gen. Corse was ap-
pointed Postmaster of Boston in 1886
the story of; Allatoona was told with
abundant variations in the newspapers
of the country to an extent which tried
his patience. At his home in Win
chester the General received almost
every day dozen or more clippings
that quoted Col. Stevens bulletin
stating Corse's ability TO slick all hell
yet" One day Mrs. Corse, half in
jest, and half in feeling of annoyance
at the numerous repetitions of the
story, said to the General: "There is
one consolation at least, and that is
that you have got through licking all
he'll, and will occupy yourself for some
time to come in licking old postage
stamps. ."-Springfeld Republican.

coLoRADo's CLIFF PALACE.
Located at an Almost inaccessible Height
With Seven Score Rooms in One Story.

Three and half miles up Cliff canon
in the Mancos regions of Colorado is
located the largest and best preserved
structure left by the ancient cliff dwell
ers. Near by are many ruins left by
the prehistoric people who lived in the
valleys of that section, one being the
remains of a reservoir, which is still
about ten feet deep. An exploring
party recently visited the great cliff
palace, which was only discovered
about six years ago. The party left
Mancos in the morning aud clim bed
to Point Lookout where they camped
for the night, reaching the palace next
day after difficult journey.
The palace'is described by a writer
in the Denver San as being built on
the east side of the canon, 750 feet
above the stream, and the climb to
reach it is tiresome and long one, as
the sides of the canon are so preci-
pitious. The cliff palace is located on
a shelf beneath an overhanging rock.
1t lies about fifty feet back from the
edge of the shelf and is about 600 feet
long by so feet wide. The party count
ed TAT rooms in the first story. How
many may have been in the upper
stories is mere conjecture. There are
quite number of round towers, and
ten large estufas-circular rooms
probably used for council meetings.
In the center of each estufa was large
circular hole, and the visitors probed
some of them to a depth of six feet.
They were filled with ashes, and it is
proba BILE that fire formed some part of
the religious service of these cliff
dwellers and that it was kept constant
ly burning in these estufas. These
estufas were fauked with immense
buttresses.
The building had no roof, but from
indications remaining it was probable
that cedar rafters were placed above
the stone work and covered with some
sort of grass mating. There are no
doors. but quite a number of open
windows, which served the purpose of
both door and window, and were built
at various elevations above the floor.
The rooms are all small. There are
not more than four or five over twelve
feet square. The towers were proba-
bly, reached by ladders. This is the
largest ruin of the cliff dwellers ever
discovered. just above this there is
another shelf with other ruins visible,
but it has not been visited, as it is alb
solutely inaccessible without long lad.
ders. A great deal of art was shown
in building this structure. In some
places the rocks used are rough-hewn,
in others smooth. Three systems e1
masonry were used in construction.
In one dressed stone was laid just as
brick masons lay brick. A second
way was the use of square stone with
ruble composed of mud or mortar
and smaller rocks between. In an
other part of the building rough rocl
was used and the interstices filled with
little broken bits of rock.
