ANCIENT IMAGE IN ILLINOIS
Brazen Figure Found Imebdded in a
Rock at Robinson

Robinson, Ill.-At a depth of twenty
seven feet, while blasting rock in a well,
brazen image was found. The image
represents an angel bearing in one hand
the bowl of what is. supposed to have
been a candlestick. In the other hand
is a lamb.
The image was undoubtedly imbedded
in the rock. In the same vicinity there
have been a number of instances of
finding pieces of petrified wood. The
supposition is that centuries ago the old
valley of the Wabash river was inha bit
ed by an artistic and intelligent race of
people, long preceding the American

at anything but at him until l attempted
to move one of his limbs. when they
gently but firmly removed my hands
from his body. When l felt for his
pulse they made no movement.
For twelve hours the body lay on the
deck without covering of any kind ex-
cept the ordinary wearing apparel. At
the end of that time the captain, who
had been attending to his regular duties
about the ship, brought pan of melted
wax and with this the two sailors
sealed all the openings of DuBee's body,
and, raising the body upon two trestles,
they manned the pump and sprayed
| it all over with fine spray of water.
which soon incased it in a sheet of ice.
This was kept up until at the expiration
of forty eight hours the body was COW
cred with a coating of ice twenty-four
inches thick. The ice was perfectly clear
and the body could be seen as plainly
as though only an ordinary glass was
between, and the staring white of his
eyes was ghastly in the extreme, and al
| though /, as a medical student, had
mauled many a cold stiff in the pickle
barrel and had seen the bloated face of
cadaver floating in the brine, the
| awfulness of the surroundings and the
terrible situation, combined with his
staring eyes, was wearing on me and
was on the verge of insanity.
oh, joy of joys. as soon as the incasins
of ice was completed we at once turned
our course directly south and COM
menced to retrace our track, but still the
two sailors watched the body in the ice
The captain took his observations and
made his entries in the log book, but nc
one ever spoke, and my only diversion
was to go on deck and watch the white
eyes looking at me through the ice
Fifteen days after we started south the
ice around the body commenced to melt
and slowly. of course, but each day
faster, until on August 18th there was
| only thin skim of ice, and on the 18th
it was all gone, when the sailors at once
placed the body on the deck, removed the
wax seals, grasped his arms and
moved them vigorously for several min
utes and DuBee heaved a sigh, his
eyes rolled back, and he breathed regu-
/ larly, his pulse beat, and he smiled at
me and said: Can you swear to this
doctor?"

IMPORTS WATER AS ICE
How an Ingenious Bostonian Is Evad
ing the DingleY Bill

An ingenious method of importing a
dutiable article will probably be put into
effect If certain importer in this city
adheres to the advice given him by a
customs attorney. A short time age
Mr.. Importer received from abroad
casks of mineral water. When they
reached Boston he learned for the first
time that the water was dutiable. In
fact, the duty was so large that if paid
he would lose money on the Importation
The attorneys advice was then solicited,
and the importer was told to send the
water back, have it frozen abroad, and
again imported, as ice was free This
advice was heeded.-Boston Traveller.

Boston,s Two Greatest Men
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
 Some scorner of dignitaries has feigned a tale that two of the greatest men in Boston, the Hon. John Lawrence Sullivan and the Hon. Uosiah Quincy, are no longer on terms of friendship. Mayor Quincy is represent ed as overlooking Mir. Sullivan's hand at a meeting in. Faneuil Hall; as shaking hands with all the other celebrities on the platform, but neglecting the most famous of all Bostonians. Whereat Mir Sullivan is reported as fuming even to the extent of threatening to use his vast political infiu- ence against the mayor. So easy is it to calumniate the great and put a false face on history. The truth Is that MT. Sullivan's graspis so powerful that MT. Quincy, after submitting his right hand to it, finds him. self incapacitated even to write letters or go through his ordinary days work of handshaking. So he has agreed with MT. Sullivan that Mir. Sulivan's hand and his shall not meet. On his part Mir. Sullivan is well pleased with the arrangement, for the last time the had the honor of shaking hands with Mr. Quincy Mr. Sullivan caught a severe cold and toothache.

In the Country Districts.

Those who have recently been in the rural districts in the south have found the farmers comparatively free from debt with plenty to eat and looking content edly forward to the prospect for better prices for cotton this fall. While the cities have suffered during the past four years the country districts have made gratifying progress. City real estate has been drag in the market, but the de- mand for small farms has steadily in creased.
 This is sure indication of better times. When the farmers begin to prosper the manufacturers, merchants and mechan- fcs in the cities and towns will get their share of the benefits. The late spell of hard times was mainly due to the fact that the farmers were in hard luck and had no money to spend. Hard work and economy pulled them out of their trouble, and they are all right once more.

 The heroes who have made such a record should take care of their history and their people should preserve it and cherish 1t with pride. By all means. let the reunions continue. and let us before It is too late mark the battlefelds with suitable, monuments, and urge congress to malSs appropriations for that purpose. What the government has done for Get tysburg and Chickamauga should be done for other notable historic fields in various parts of the south
 It is time for the people to appreciate the fact that4the best points of the new south are borrowed from the old south. and that the unselfsh heroism of the men who fought for the confederaey has made them ambitious to prove themselves worthy sons of their noble sires. They need not revive sectional prejudlces and war passions. but they should want fu- ture generations to feel an honest and just pride in the land of Washington and Lee, and it would teach them to re- were the memory of the men whose stain less swords created and upheld for four long years the model republic of the world.

The Old c0nfederates.

The close reader of southern newspa- pers must have been impressed during the present summer by the great number of confederate reunions, and the revival of public interest in war stories from the confederate side. All this will doubt less have the effort of making the gen. eral reunion of the men who wore the gray at Atlanta, next year, notable event. It will then be full generation since the war ended, and the people of Atlanta may be relied upon to make the most of the occasion.
 Already that city is at work stirring up interest in the affair, and 1t Is likely that attractions will be offered which will draw 100000 visitors to the Georgia capitol next summer It is gratifying to again. The confederate soldier has new CT been properly appreciated in the land which he fought for and for whose well fare he sacrificed so much. He had to start life again after the surrender, and had to make his way without money or credit. In less than generation he has restored prosperity to his almost ruined section. and the south promises to be in the lifetime of men now living the rich est quarter of the union.
 Some of this work has been done by young men, but the ex-confederates have led and are still leading in our most inn portant enterprises Nor is this true alone of home affairs. Penniless confed- crates who went to New York after the war became ulillionaires like Inman and
