les, claims, of old families that once
owned the soil and made history, of
countless parochial details. All sorts
of quaint and curious field names there
are near Babylon--names historical,
like Pennsylvania; names descriptive,
like Look-about Batch, Wet Mead,
Honeyhole, Gooseland, Three-corner
Paddock; names reminiscent of local
dealings, like ard-and-Sharp and
Greatcoat Cleeves; or of local hold
ings, like Copylease and Pepperleas.
Then there are romantic names, like
Little Perdigate, which has a flavor

like Bloody Paddock, which has an
epic sound; grotesque names, debased
from some noble original, like Hoke

ANTIETAM.
Battle Which Made the Little Mary
land Stream Famous.

But for the most terrific battle in
the annals of American wars a pretty
little stream that flows through the
heart of Maryland would be unknown
beyond its immediate locality. Wind
ing sluggishly down from the Penn
sylvania hills, it bends romantically
in it's course, now past the ancient
mill, under its quaint bridges, stone
arched, singing on it's way through
sun and shadow and, like Tennyson's
brook, going on forever.
There is no more picturesque part
of our country than that through
which the Antietam flows. 1t skirts
the most beautiful farms Of Maryland,
laves the rounded Emtss Of the kline
while they drink, in tie shadows OF
the trees that line its banks, and
finally loses itself in the broad Po-
tomac.
Time was, and not very long ago,
when the farmers of the Antietam,
fording It's shadows, dreamed not OF
the great drama to be enacted there.

trancing region and the barefooted

PREHISTORIC WALL OF ROCK.
Remarkable Discovery Of Work Done
by Unknown Race.

As the cities Of Pompeii and Her
culaneum were discovered by digging
we'll, so the most prehistoric rock
wall in the United States was discoV-
cred in 1857 by a farmer who now
lives in Rockwell, Tex, says the
New Orleans Picayune. But whether
in that portion which is surrounded by
this wall is a Pompeii or for what pur-
pose il was built has never been as
certained up to the present.
Here and there portions of the wall
are exposed at distances of several
yards. Even in some places 1t is COW
cred up for a mile or two. One day
a farmer, not knowing that the wall
was there, dug a we'll along the side
Of this wall 80 feet deep. Near the
bottom Of his well he discovered an
arched opening, which was two by
three feet. This opening has
been seen by several of the in
habitants of Rockwell, and it is be-
lieVed this must have been used as
an entrance into the wall. The bot
tom of the wall was not reached at
depth of 30 feet. This has been the
only opening ever found, because the
wall has never been exposed, except
last fall, when two young men Of
Rockwell dug about the wall five
feet in width and about the same in
depth. This gave one a good idea of
the wall. The rocks were nicely laid
with abridged joints in regular fash
ion, but the substance between them
was not mortar, but clay. A closer
examination reveals no sign of any
hard tool used upon the rocks, and
no doubt wooden mallets were used to
give them their sizes.
On the east side of the wall the
rock is smooth, while on the west 1t
is rough. They are all composed of
sandstone, with streaks of mica and
pebbles of iron. 1t is said that in the
surrounding regions no rock can be
found similar to this, except in the
chimneys and wells which the farm
ers own.
The rocks at the opening found are
from two to six feet long, three feet
wide and two feet thick. An effort
was made to bring some of them to
the surface by the men who dug the
well, but they found the task too
difficult. On top the rocks are much
smaller, running about IS inches long
three inches thick and eight inches
wide. The farmers claim that the
wall is about 16 miles long, and they
know exactly it's course.
There is no doubt that this is the
most prehistoric wall in the United
States, and so far as known, the Smith
sonian institution Of Washington, D. c..
has never made any effort to eX
pose the length and width of the
wall or give any explanation Of its
origin
