BONES OF GIANT INDIANS.
Prehipteric Men Seven Feet Tail. who Once
Lived In what IL Maryland.

From the Baltimore, american.
There has just been received at the Maryland
Academy OF Sciences the skeleton OF an Indian
seven feet tall. 1t was discovered near Antie-
tam ten days ago. There are now skeletons OF
three powerful Indians at the academy, who at
one time in their wildncss roamed over the
state of MARYLAND armed with such instruments
as nature gave them, or that their limited skill
taught them to make. Two OF these skele-
tons belonged to individuals evidently OF
gigantic size. The vertcbrm and bones
OF the legs are nearly as thick as those
OF a horse. and the length OF the long bones
exceptional. The skulls are of fine proportions,
ample. and with walls OF moderate thickness,
but OF great strength, and stiircned behind by a
powerful occlpital ridge. The curves OF the fore
head are moderate and not rctreating. suggest

bones Of the face and neck were packed in the
cavity OF the skull. and II round hole about 2le
feet wide was dug in the ground. in which tho
skeleton was buried and carefully packed with
clay. In tho grave was also placed pottery, a
tomahawk, and the other weapons belonging to
tho Indians. No stone marked the grave. and
no beads or wampum were buried with the

Grand aggregate 1854 $40,

Since this statement was made, In 1885,
through Investigations mainly OF the Pension
ONCE, as before stated, an addition of 779 names
of dead soldiers has been made, almost wholly
charged to the prisoner account. swelling the
known deaths of Union soldiers during the war
TO the grand but terrible aggregate of $3.50, 2O7.
The terrors OF battle are ever before the eyes
of the world; histories teen with pages descrip-
tive OF the carnage of the battlefield, yet Mr..
Kirkley's grim array of figures show Wa that while
67.O5s men were killed outright In action and
42,5sl died of wounds. making a total OF 1O9,-
$50, more than double that number died of
disease, or, to be exact, pa, $50. 1t Is worth
noting that out of the more than 200, 900 in
dividuals who were in the service from first to
last, only 267 men were executed for crimes
by the United States military authorities.
Soon after the war was over the Government
took measures to identify its vast army of dead
and mark their graves. The plan OF establish
ing national cemeteries was at once adopted.
More of these were laid out perhaps than were
desirable from an economic point OF view, but
this was regarded as an easy way to mark the
more conspicuous battlehelds; but this idea
could not be adhered TO around Richmond,
where the battlefelds were 30 numerous. Soon
seventy-six national cemeteries were established
throughout the Union. including one in the city
Of Mexico, where the dead of the Mexican war
lie buried. Among these cemeteries are several
bea Itiful ones at sites of some of the Southern
prisons, notably those OF Andersonville, Ga,
and Florence, S. C., in charge OF Superintendcnts
the year around.
