The PREHISTORIC People,

On the first page of the
RECORD we give the readers
a very interesting account
of DR.. Curry's research in
to the records of the pre-
historic people OF North
America and when we con.
template that this section
about Evening Shade was
once the home of these
people, this subject becomes
interesting.
There is no doubt but
that this part of North
Arkansas was once the
home of people who are
now, entirely extinct, but
they have left their records.
Two miles north of Eve.
ming Shade on Strawberry
river is a record that time
has failed to erase. On
a stone which extends far
into the mountain side, and
about one hundred feet
above the waters of Straw
berry, are engravings which
are a wonder and mystery to
all. The face of this stone
is FIVE by fifteen feet, and is
literally covered W i t h
characters carved in its
solid face, which could only
have been done by the hand
of man. There are pict.
ures of men, animals and
fowls, and many marks
which no doubt tell wonder.
full stories. This stone is
in one Of the most rugged
and picturesque parts of the
Strawberry hills.
Only few yards west is
found from all appearances
an altar which by a little
stretch of the imagination
one can picture as the
place where these people
offered sacrifices to their
gods.
Standing on the summit
of this particular bluff one
has a magnificent view OF
the broad valley below which
is bounded by the far
famed Strawberry, whose
waters united their voices
ages ago with those of the
extinct race in praise to
their gods. And there
with a slight sweep OF the
imagination one can almost
hear the voices of that
innocent people as they
rise from the valley below
contented and happy, little
dreaming of the awful
destiny which the hand OF
time was to deal their race;
or listening with a more
'tentive ear one can hear
the songs Of plited lovers
blending their voices with
those of the laughing
waters below telling the
same old story OF love; Or
again one can imagine
deep awful blending of rage,
grief aud terror rising IN
one continued mighty
volume of sound beating

and with the right to add AmursKl to
his name.
1t is the same general who, while gov
encouragement of Siberia, appeared in
1859 in the Bay of Yeddo, just after the
departure of the American Commodore
Perry and obtained from the japanese
government a treaty based on the same
lines as that secured by the United
States.
The only blot that there is on the fair
name of thisvery distinguished Russian
commander, the antiquity of whose
family is superior even to that of the
Romanoffs, is the cruelty which he dis
played in suppressing the Polish in
surrection in 1863, when he instituted
what was in every sense of the word a
reign of terror-so much so that his
name to this day is eXecrated by all
Poles at home as we'll as abroad, and it
is doubtful, under the circumstances,
whether the appointment of his son to
post that is TO all intents and purposes
that of chancellor of the empire will
afford much satisfaction to the Polish
subjects of the car.

vironed, $50 to speak, by an impene-
trable barrier of etiquette.
Count Michael Mouravieff, the new
foreign minister, is of middle height,
blond and somewhat bald, always ele-
gantly dressed and wearing a monarch
zeal air. Among the decorations which
he wears are several conferred for con-
spicuous gallantry on the battlefield
during the Turko-Russian war.
He is a very self-contained, quiet and
reserved man, who gives one the i'm
preston of never losing his head. of
knowing how to hold his tongue and of
being the approximation of honor
and of good breeding. The title of
count, which he bears and which serves
to distinguish him from his cousin, the
minister of justice at St. Petersburg,
who does not possess any such handle to
his name, was conferred upon dis IA
Their, Gen. Mouravieff, to whom Russia
is indebted for the acquisition of the
greater portion of the Siberian en-
pire. He conquered the entire Amur
province, and in consequence thereof
wNyetb4 led with the title Of count,

Paris-a post which he filed so well as
to merit being recalled to Athens at the
end of three years to assist in the home
government. He espoused the cause of
Coumoundouros, the greatest of the
Greek statesmen. Later he faced that
leader as rival, and by his shrewdness
and cleverness vanquished him. In the
Coumoundouros ministry Delyannis
was made minister of foreign affairs,
and took part in the Berlin congress.
When his chief and rival died in 1888
Delyannis was alone left to lead the
opposition forces against Tricoupis,
who was then in power. He won a
great success, and since 1885 he has been
the foremost man in all Greece, rising
and falling with the tide of popular feel
ing, as all great statesmen will.

PREMIER DELYANNlS.
Originator of the Invasion of Crete by
the Troops of Greece.


Theodorus Delyannis, prime minister
of Greece, the statesman who has sent
out to the whole world the defiance
that "Greece accepts full responsibility
for all her acts" is a descendant of the
old Venetian blood that infused its
strength into the Hellenes when Venice
was the mistress of the world. Theo-
dorus got his name from the Greek
Giannis (diminutive for john and the
Saracenic Deli, though how the family
acquired the Turkish prefix cannot be
said. He is the eldest son of young
branch of the family, and at an early
age displayed all those qualities of
which the Greek is justly proud. He
was educated at the University of
Athens, and began life at the bottom
round of the ladder. He began as a
youth to study administrative affairs,
and wrote book on the subject of leg
islation which is still standard for the
Greeks. IN 1867 he was given his first
state office-that of grand envoy to

Danger from Soft Drinks.

A new danger to guard against Is
disclosed by an investigation conducted
by the Massachusetts board of health
Summer drinks, such as sarsaparilla,
soda, lemonade and the like, are often
put on the market in bottles whose
shoppers are composed largely of lead.
An analysis of 80 of these shoppers
showed that they contained from eight
to fifty per cent. of lead. The contents
of the bottles were also found to con-
tain traces of lead, the largest amount
of the poison being equivalent to twen-
ty-seven-one-hundred of a grain
per gallon. This is q very small
quantity, but lead is a cumulative poi
son, and, while small part o. a grain
taken into the system wouk not show
any i'll effects, continual additions
would result at length in a sudden exhi.
bition of all the symptoms of lead poi
soning.

HONORED BY THE GAR.
Pen Sketch Of Russia's New
Minister Of Foreign Affairs.
Count Mourayfeff Is Practically the
New Chancellor of the MuscOvite
Empire and Said to Be n
Good Fellow.

Count Mouravieff, who has been ap-
pointed by the car to take the place of
the late Prince Lobanoff as minister of
foreign affairs, although he spent so
many years at Berlin as secretary of the
Russian embassy there, can hardly be
looked upon as particular friend OF
Germany or imbued with any amiable
sentiments towards the court of Berlin.
For it was during his sojourn in En-
peror Williams capital that he lost his
lovely wife, to whom he was passion
ately attached.
He lost her, not by death, but by be-
trayal, and, as usual, the culprit was
his best friend, Count Henckel Won
Donnersmark, with whom she eloped
and to whom she has since become mar
ried, the late car having readily
granted divorce to Count Mouravietf
as soon as he learned of the circum-
stances of the case.
A betrayed husband, says the New
York World, is always more or less q
subject of ridicule to worldly cynical
people, and Count Mouravieff was no
exception to the rule in the eyes of
Berlin society, which is the most I'M
sympathetic of any of the continent.
His residence there soon became intol-
cradle, and accordingly he applied for
a transfer.
This he obtained in the shape of pro-
motion - the most agreeable post in
the Diplomatic service of Russia, name
ly, that of envoy to the court of Copen-
hagen, a post which has ever since the
marriage of the late car been regarded
as a step to high preferment For,
owing to the abandon and absence of
formality that characterizes the mode
of life of the reigning family of Russia
during their annual stays at Copenha-
gen, the envoy and his secretaries have
the opportunity of becoming much
more intimately acquainted with the
imperial house than in Russia itself,
where their majesties and the princes
and princesses of their family are en-

when the Creator said to woman,
I'm sorrow shalt thou bring forth

nounced against the human race,
but the joy felt by every Mother
when she first presses to her heart
