PREHISTORIC BATTLEs.-Twenty
thousand years ago, according to
the announcement of Professor
Walters, the archaelogist, in the
New York Sun, terrible battle
was fought on the Arkansas river,
in the Indian Territory, between
the mound builders and the Mavas,
in which over $1,000 warriors bit
the dust. He has reached this re-
markable conclusion on account
of his Investigations oi a prehiS-
toric burying ground in the Choc-
taw Indian country, which he has
found to cover thirty acres, and to
contain fully rs, 900 skeletons. His
attention was first called to the re-
markabIe number of human skele.
tons to be found there several
months ago, when the Kansas
City, Pittsburg and Gulf Railway
was built through the Choctaw
country. The workmen, in grad
ing, brought to the light tons Of
human bones and remarkably
large number Of implements
Of savage warfare, and Professor
Walters set about to investigate
the matter, scientifically. To his
amazement he found large tract
literally underlaid with these relics
Of a forgotten race. The skulls
we're pierced with darts or arrow
points. This proved that they died
in battle. The skeletons were
found buried in the sand, and above
the sand were two distinct strata
formed in geological periods.
These facts enabled Professor Wal
ters to compute approximately the
period when the battle occurred.
He has compared the facts just
learned with the result Of seven
teen years previous study oi the
mound builders and formed the
theory that the battle was one OF a
long series OF sanguinarY epcoun-
ters between that mysterious race
and the Mavas, which latter race
came from Central and South
America and sought to gain pos.

A TRIBUTE TO BoADlCEA. For
over eighteen centuries the name
of Boadicea has been familiar to
residents in London, or as II was
known in her time, Lvndyn. The
great Queen OF the Iceni, who wa
the wife Prasutagus, vainlY en-
deavored to repulse the invading
Romans, and her valiant warriors
were slaughtered by the enemy
somewhere between London and
Colchester. In the neighborhcod
of Kings Cross there is a spot
called Battle Bridge, because it was
ia the neighborhood that one OF
the fercest combats took place.
The patriotic woman, disappointed
at the result OF her plans, commit
ted suicide in Ga. A monume mt 70
her memory is now to be erected
near Westminster Bridge, and this
will doubtless stimulate the 1--WE
niles to take up their histories and
read the story Of her adventure
some career. Last Saturday the
model was placed in position on
the Embankment Immediately fac
ing the Houses Of Parliament, in
order that the County Council may
sec it on Tuesday. The sculptor,
Mr.. Thomas Thorneycroft, was
engaged for a very long time on the
work; indeed, he commenced It
forty years ago, and had special
house built at Chiswick to allow Of
its being wholly executed under
cover. The model weighs FIVE
tons, but the bronze will, oil course,
be much heavier. Boadicea, who
stands I8 feet high, IS represented
in a chariot, supported on either
side by female warriors. In one
hand she grips a tall spear, and
with the other she holds the Teins
attached to her herY steeds. Spec
tators will not fail TO notice that in
the centre of each wheel Of the
chariot there is an enormous sword.
The monument will be fixed on a
granite base, and will bear the in
scription:-

Wakelee was notified and tried to find him Tuesday night, but he could not be found. Friday night he appeared at the Southbury depot in a half starved condition and entirely nude. He said he wanted some one to take care of him for God only knew what he would do next"
 He did not know what he had done with his clothes. He gave his name as Edwin Holmes, 132 Bishop street, Waterbury. He said he had a father, mother, brother and four sisters liv- ing there and thought his wife had committed suicide. He was taken in charge by the authorities and Water bury selectmen telegraphed to.

my Distinguished and Dear Friend
You need not apologize for not having
written to me. also ought to have
account of being weighed down with
work and nous sommes quittes.
1.-The situation here remains I'M
changed. Everything depends on the
political and military success in Cuba
The prologue of this second method of
warfare will end the day that the CO.
lonial binet will be appointed, and ii
relieve as in the eyes of this country OF
part Of the responsibility of what may
happen there, and they must cast the
responsibility upon the Cubans, whom
they believe to be immaculate.
"Until then we will not be able to
see clearly, and consider it to be loss
of time and an advance by the wrong
road, the sending of emissaries to the
rebel field, the negotiating with the
autonomists not yet declared to be
legally constituted. and the discovery of
the intentions and purpose of this gov
eminent. The exiles will return one by
one, and when they return will come
walking into the sheepfold, and the
chiefs will gradually return. Neither
of these had the courage to leave en-
masse, and they will not have the cour-
age to thus return.
1.-THE message has undeceived the in
surgents, who expected something else,
and has paralyzed the action of con
gress, but consider it bad.
Besides the natural and inevitable
coarseness with which he repeats all
that the press and publcs opinion of
Spain has said of Weyler it shows at
once what Mckinley is-weak and
catering to the rabble, and, besides. a
low politician, who desires to leave a
door open to me and stand well with
the jingoes of his party.
Nevertheless, as matter of fact. it
will only depend ON ourselves whether
he will prove bad and adverse to us. I
agree entirely with you that without
military success nothing would be ac-
complished there, and that without
military and political success there is
here always danger that the insurgents
will be encouraged if not by the gov
eminent, at least by part of the public
opinion.
