AMERICAN ARCHAEOLOGY.
The Old Mounds Furnish q Vast
Amount of Material.

Maj. J. W. Powell gave one Of his most
delightful talks last evening before the
young ladies OF the Washington Seminary,
On 18th street. his subject being American
Archaeology. In a very simple style he
explained the ways and means at the
hands of science for the study of prehis-
tortc periods. and declared that there are
NO native tribes in the world that have
been 50 thoroughly and successfully stud
led as the North American Indians. He
divided the mounds that are to be found
scattered over the surface OF the country,
from which the scientist draws a vast
amount Of material. into three classes.
mortuary, domiciliary and ceremonial, and
went on to explain how the mortuary
mounds have proven veritable museums
for the Enlightenment of the present as
70 the customs and arts of the past. The
Indians at first, he went on, bethought
themselves to bury the personal property
or dead individual in the grave, so as to
prevent contention and wrangling over the
effects. Then gradually this became a
religious custom, and so 1t is that these
mounds are filed with the mind writings
or the aborigines. He gave a splendid
picture OF the processes of house building
and briefly sketched the various methods
OF shelter known to the Indians The
study Of archaeology IN America, he con-
cluded- has developed nothing more won
derful than he unanimity Of opinion about
details This Is especially wonderful as
there is not another branch of science that
does not produce many and irreconcilable
differences of opinion. The next lecture
at the seminary will be by Prof Cushing
In costume, on Zuni life.
