AMERICA’S POMPEIL”

INTERESTING DISCOVERIES MADE BY AN ALASKAN TRAVELER.

Relics of an Unknown Race Revealed by an Avalanche—The Walls of What May Be a Prehistoric City Laid Bare—Some Beautiful Specimens of Pottery,

One of the most interesting theories in regard to the ancient colonization of America is that relating to its Asiatic origin. These theories were supported by tribal traditions, chiefly among the highly civilized races of Mexico as they were discovered by the Spaniards, from an analysis of which it would appear that the first settlements of this conti- nent were Asiatic—for the time of a high degree of cultivation, in time over- run and subjugated by more warlike and powerful invaders, who, like themselves, came from the ncerth.

Archeological discoveries in New Mexico, Arizona and California bave

tended to confirm these obscure legends, and now a correspondent of The Globe- Democrat of St. Louis presents the lat- est claims in the evidence of a Professor Alfred Eidrige of Montreal as to recc ut discoveries made by him in Alaska. Professor Eldrige’s statements to the correspondent were, in brief, as follows:

“At the mouth of the Kuwalik river, on the shore of Kotzebue sound, I en- countered a small settlement of Indians, who were much surprised at my desire to preceed up the stream.

‘‘The chief did all in his power te persuade me to abandon my project, ex- piaining unbearable perils galore which I would be certain to encounter. The favages scemed to think the district cursed by the Great Spirit, and nothing could tempt them to set foot on it,

‘*T did not feel uneasy, however, un- til I arrived atthe mouth of the Kn- ‘walik. As I entered the mouth of this frowen river it seemed as though I could read, ‘Abandon hope, all ye who enter here,’ written across its horizon, and the vision of a possible Dantean ‘Infer- no’ beyond amazed me.

**On the border of a little lake where I stopped my attention was drawn toa spot half way up a steep peak, which had evidently suffered some recent Cis- turbance.. On arriving at the situation I saw that a grext body of earth had broken away and rolled down the moun- tain.

‘*The first thing to attract me was the discovery of a small piece of broken earthenware, light brown in color, with an artistically worked trimming of Greek design werked in black pigment. It was just sucha picce as those I had found in New Mexico some years be- fore, and any one can imagine my amazement at its discovery in that quarter. ‘

‘*T turned quickly to sean the sides of the earth where the avalanche had torn it apart, and in the midst of the crevice, not 300 yards away from where I stood, I saw the protrusion of a wall of dull gray masonry, crumbling and breken, but showing beyond all doubt, even at that distance, that the builder was hu- man. On making further investigations I found evidences of numerous other walls at a distance of 30 or more feet apart, and some of them revealed cor- ners of masonry.

**It soon became evident to me that I had discovered an gmerican Pompeii through the work of the avalanche. The remains of houses I saw were undoubt- edly those of a prehistoric city, covered With earth and debris, which had hid- den it throngh some vcleanic action, possibly during, but most likely long after, its desertion, centuries on centu- ries ago.

“All of the masonry was of beautiful symmetry, constructed of hewn sand- stone blocks of an approximately even size, laid in strong mortar beds and with the joints breken. There were many p/ces of broken pottery aud other articles of domestic use lying around the ruins. ree

‘But I sought higher game, and after preparing a wooden handie to a copper spade which I picked up on the scene I went to digging most industriously. Almost immediately my antiquated spade unearthed a few more fragments of pottery, which seemed an ominous sign. As I reached about six feet be- neath the surface pots, vases, cups, plates, jugs, pipes and nnmerous articles of doubtfrl use and too heavy to bring away with me were uncovered with al- most every thrust of the spade. The last articles my spade revealed were mixed sizes of arrows, spears of odd design, scrapers, hatchets and drills.

‘‘T dug into a square room which had no windows in the walls. Here I found some of the finest speciniens of pottery I have ever seen. They were bezutiful- ly decorated und finished in a way that is a lost art to modern potters. There were many exquisitely shaped jars, about 8 feet tall and as perfectly pre- served as the china just delivered from the hauds of our nineteenth century potters—if anything, more artistically proportioned,

‘‘It does not require much thought or study to sce an undeniable connection between the evidence of prehistoric in- habitation in Spanish-America and those which I have unearthed in north- ern Alaska, a fact which opens an en- tirely new and extensive field for arche- ological study. ’’

NiLLIE AND TAD LINCOLN,

Che Two Sons of the Great President and Their Natures.

Julia Taft Dayne contributes an article to St. ‘* Willie and Tad Lin- coln,’’ who were playmates of her brother during the time that they livcd in the White House. Mrs. Bayne says: Willie Lineoin was the most lovable boy I cver knew—sensible, swect tempered and gen- tle mannered. Heo was rather fair, with blue gray eyes, while Tad had quick, eyes anda fiery temper. Though very af- fectiGnate when he chose, ‘Vad was un- yiclding in his dislikes. His peeuliar de- tect ef speech made it difficult for stran- seers to wnderstand him, but those who suw him every day had no difliculty.

The two Lincoln boys were then a little over 10 and 8 years of age, my two broth- ets being a year or two older. The clder, Horatio, or Budd, as he was always call- ed, was fair, like Willie Lincoln, while Hally was dark. This resemblance of the two pairs of boys -was often remarked apon,

Willie and Tes were two healthy, rol- licking western boys, who had never been accustomed to restraint. The notice which their father’s exalted station brought upon them was at times distasteful. Willie once said: ‘‘Wasn’t there ever a president who had children before? I wish they wouldn’t stare at us so.”’

The first time they went to church with us Willie said: ‘‘Will he pray for us, do you think? Preachers always pray so long for pa.’”’” Dr. Smith did pray for them, as he recognized them in our pew. Wilie’s cheeks grew very red, but Tad was sitting on the floor of the pew and heeded not. He was so uneasy that he always sat on the flocr a good part of the service, drawing pictures and amusing himself with what- ever he could find in his pockets.

On enother Surday, when he was un- usually restless, a young officer friend of ours gave him a knife, which he thought Tad would not open, but he did and cut his finger, and I had t do it upin my best embroidered handkerchief.

On this occasion 1 was goaded to say: “T’ll never take you to church again, Thomas Lincoln’’—he hated of all things to be called Thomas. ‘‘I just suffer ago- nies all the time.’’ ‘‘Well,”’ said Tad, ‘“‘wasn’t Willie sitting up there, good as pic, and you poked me with your too?’’

A RELIC OF THE PAST.

A Visit to the Cheshire Cheese, a Quaint Old Loudon Inn,

Along Flect strect nineteenth eentury humanity rushes in throngs, feverishly intent on the main chance. But now and again units from the mass fall out and disappear into a little doorway so unob- trusive in its character as to be easily passed by strangers in search for it. A small passageway, a bit of court, and one enters the old Cheshire, Cheese, treading in the footsteps of generations of wits and philosophers. A wit the visitor may not be, but he is certain to be the other in one way or another, and his purpose in com- ing here can have little in common with the hurly burly he has but just left out there on Fleet street. The tide of affairs has left him stranded on an oasis of pecul- iar charm—a low ceilinged room, brown as an old meerschaum, heavily raftered and carrying to the sensitive nostril the scent of ages, the indescribable aroma in- separable from these haunts of geniality; wide windows, white curtaincd on two sides and smiling upon the newcomer; the merry glow of the fire in the old grate, flirting tiny flames upward that caress the steaming, singing kettle hanging just above.

The old copper seuttle glints with the fitful gleams upon its burnished, pudgy sides; the floor spread abundantly with sawdust softens the sounds of footfalls. The white tablecloths make the note of tidiness, relieving the prevailing low tone of the room. Over against one wall hang two cocked hats and a cane—Johnson’s, The silk hats and trouscrs of modern Lon- don almost seem out of harmony with the cozy quaintness of their environment, but smalls and buckles and cocked hats pass away, and architecture survives the fash- ions and persons of its creators.—‘* The Field of Art’’ in Scribner's.

An Unhappy Queen.

A splendid Georgian clock, which rears its majestic head almost from fioor to ceil- ing, is owned by Lady Alston.

In the ormolu and silver repousse face is a mysterious looking curtain, which, drawn up by an ingenious. arrangement every three hours, or at any time on touch- ing a spring, reveals, with an appropriate village background, a set of tiny watteau figures, of which one in the foreground is dancing a jig to the beating of a drum and the music of violins.

This old clock has an interesting histor- ical record, it having been presented by George III to his sister, who became the bride of Christian VII of Denmark.

The story of poor Caroline Matilda is a sad one. It is said that immediately on landing she was required to exchange her English for Danish attendants, even her faithful dresser being taken from her. Who can wonder that the young princess was not happy with an unsympathetic hus- band or be surprised that she should have valued the sympathy and attention of oth- ers, and, notably of the famous Minister Struenzee, who, with his colleague Brandt, was destined, through a palace intrigue, to the rack and the scaffold? Itis a dismal tale, whichever way we regard it, but we may, with confidence, reject as false the stories invented at the time’ to Caroline Matilda’s prejudice. A British squadron. rescued the queen from her prison at Elsi- nore and conveyed her to Hanoverian ter- ritory, where she soon succumbed, with the aid, it was darkly rumored, of a spe- cially prepared cup ¢f chocolate.—Phila.- delphia Ledger

» silted And Then Lost His Job In the House 0} Representatives.

A little incident that took place the other day at the main door of the house cf representatives resulted in a reduc- tion in the house force by the dismissa)] of a doorkeeper. Senator George of Mis- sissippi, who speaks with a broad, south- ern accent, walked over to the house tc gee Congressman Dinsmore. As he was gbout to pass through the door one of the doorkeepers, not knowing the Mis- aissippi statesman, laid his haud on hit arm and detained him.

‘‘Here, sir, are you a representative?” be called out.

‘‘No, sah,’’ replied Senator George. “Tam a member, sah, of the Unites States senate, and I want to see Repre- sentative Dinsmore, sah."’

This doorkeeper was a resident of the Bowery district in New York and hac cultivated a grim sense of humor whick he was in the habit of exploiting at the expense of men with peculiarities. He promptly replied to the venerable sen- ator:

Representative Dinsmo’, sah,

Is not upon the flo’, sah.

He went home at half past fo’, sah,

And won't be back no mo’, sah. —Washington Cor. Brooklyn Eagle,

Repealed,

‘‘T saw a man’s light put out neat an sudden once,’’ remarked an old Arizona cattleman. ‘‘In fact, it was about the neatest an suddenest demise I ever see.

‘*A stranger with overgrown shootin irons danglin at his flank an consid’ra- ble mescal an other liquids stowed un- der his vest staggered into Whisky Jack’s saloon at Horsehead an demand- ed more liquor kind of boisterouslike. Jack sized him up in a second an told him he had had enough an couldn’t get no more, The stranger pulled his gun, an layin it across the bar remarked:

‘**Tt’s one of a man’s inalienable rights, secured an granted to him an bis heirs forever, to have all the booze he can pay for. There’s your money. Hand out you refreshments, er my gun is liable ter go off.’

‘**Who might you be?’ inquired Jack, perfectly ca’mlike.

“ ‘Well, I might be the Count of Monte-Christo, but I ain’t. I am plain Joe Kingsbury a-demandin of his con- stitutional rights.’

‘* *Well, the act creatin Joe Kings- bury is hereby repealed.’ An when the smoke cleared away it was observed that Jack’s repealin act had taken effect immediately, ’’—San Francisco Post.

Mamma Was Up to Date.

“No, daughter; just tell the young man that he can never take you sleigh riding with a sleepy looking old horse like that.”’

‘“‘Why, mamma, that’s false pride.”’

‘‘Nothing of the sort. It’s just com- mon sense. It is plain that the horse was chosen simply because he can be driven with one hand.’’—Detroit Free Press.

No Talk Needed.

Chumley — You’re a mighty poor talker, especially to ladies. How did you raise the nerve to propose to Miss Sweet?

Dumley—Oh—aw—I didn’t say much of anything. I handed my ring to her, and she slipped it on her left finger and said, ‘‘All right; it fits!’’—Truth.

The Blow Little Softened.

‘*We will not discharge you,’’ said the manager. ‘‘We shall allow you to tender your resignaticn.’’

‘*Tendering it will not make it any less tough,’’ said the young man who was getting laid off until better times. —Cincinnuati Enquirer.

The Obverse and Reverse.

The Adorer—It’s wonderful, old man, what love will enable a fellow to see in a girl that he never saw before.

The Onlooker—No doubt. But it’s equally wonderful what it wou’t let him see that he’ll see later.—Brooklyn Life.
