ANTIQUE

Memphis Scimitar: c. C. Elledge and
w. r. Spivy have brought to this city a
metallic casket for which they claim a
| great antiquity. The workmanship is GER
tainly not of a kind commonly seen in
these days, and the examination Of the
casket may prove it to be a relic of great
historical interest.
The casket, it is alleged, was found on
a farm about a mile and half from New
port, Ark, in jackson county, at the foot
of the highlands of the White river and
not far from Thompson's lake. While
blowing "a farmer struck something with
his ploWshare. Knowing that there We're
no stumps in that part of the field, he dug
down and found the top of a metal box
about six inches below the surface of the
soil. When the search was continued it
was found that a metal coffin was i'm
bedded in the sandy soil. The coffin is the
one which is now in Memphis.
The casket is at the undertaking estab-
lishment of Collins & Co. 1t is about six
feet and a half long and has the shape of
one of the old mumn wrappers. In fact,
this idea is carried out in the ornamental
ton, as the ironwork is molde in the
form of a Winding sheet. The robe is such
as would have been worn by a person of
note in the later sixteenth or early sew
enteenth century. A star which is IN
ornament upon the right shoulder car
ries out the idea that the body placed in
the casket was that of some man of more
than ordinary rank.
Near the foot of the casket is a circular
design which was evidently a coat-of-
arms or something of that sort. 1t rep
resents apparently a bunch of rose leaves.
On the extreme foot of the coffin is a lit
tie monogram, which is doubtless the
name of the maker. There are only a few
of the letters of this legible. There are
no other plates on the casket. which APP
parently contained inscriptions original
ly, but none of these are sufficiently pre-
served from rust to be readable. over
the head of the coffin is a plate with
palm trees and other tropical plants upon
it.. Elledge claims that with a magnify
ing glass traces of a date can be discov-
cred upon this. The plate over the breast
of the coffin is free from apparent marks.
The casket was evidently a burial one,
as it contained a number of human bones.
There were a small piece of cloth a
few bits Of metal, apparently inks of old
armOr, mingled with these.
h is the origin of the casket or how
it came to be imbedded in the
sands no one knows. History tells that
De Soto went as far past the Mississippi
as the highlands of the White river, and
Elledge thinks this coffin may be that Of
one of the great discoverer's followers.
The coffin was in dry sandy soil and
could v remained there centuries
without being entirely corroded. Elledge
Will have the caSket examined while it is
here, SO that some idea of it's real antiuui-
ty may be obtained.

SACRED WHITE BISON.
Its SKIN, Believed to BE Great Medf-
c'nc, Exhibited In Chicago.

Another prize has been acquired by the
| Chicag, Academy Of Sciences. 1t is the
skin Of sacred white bison, donated by
Alderman Charles +. Gunthor.
This skin Is the only one Of its kind on
cShlbltlon in the country and has been
doing business among the Winncbago In
dams as great medicine for the last 300 or
400 years. This sacred relic of fast dis
appearing race of people Is OF especial in
tcrcSt in Wow of the fact that the bison
will soon take his place with the mastodon,
tho Irish elk and the dodo.
The skin, which measures about 81
feet in length by , q in width, has a pedi-
gree for medicine running back nearly 400
years, but its excellent state Of preserva-
ton leads one to believe that in life il
never practiced what it preached and
eschewcd all participation in the concoc-
tions and Nominations that it was instru-
mental in dispensing to the artless Winnie
bagoes.
The Indian believes that everything
mysterious or unusual is medicine" or
sacred and in some way related to the
Great Spirit; hence to procure an albino
form or n monatrosity of any kind he
would risk his life or endure great hard
ships. Naturally "a white buffalo being Il
strange form of the animal which supplied
nearly all his wants, appealed to him
more strongly than any other and to have
such IL skin in the family or tribe was
supposed To render its owner agreeable in
the eyes of the Great Spirit and TO operate
as n mascot against the wilcs of the evil

The Trolley Face.

Every one, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord, who usos the open trolley cars
knows the difficulty of entering them ow-
ing to the high steps, awkward entrances
and narrow aiSlcs between the seats,
hence it is that the average person board
ing one of these peculiarly constructed
vehicles wears an expression of agonizcd
doubt and uncertainty most painful to be
hold Fearful Of making n misstep and
exercised over tho difficulties encountered,
the passengers countenance seems most
plainly To reflect the emotions experienced,
and this is particularly the case with
women, incumbcred as they are by skirts
Tho trolley face will remain until Octo-
Der, when Other peculiar types of facial
distortion will succeed it in the attention
