Mississippl, i An exceedingly valuable article bear. ing upon the prehistoric inhabitants of | Minnesota has been prepared by the | Hon. J. V. Brower, embodying the re | sults of investigations made by himself {and Professor T. H. Lewis about the { head waters of the Mississippi. Mr, { Brower is an adept in exploration and the best authority on the basin of the upper Mississippi. He has found traces and relics of the mound builders through the entire basin of the upper Mississippi, from Lake Itasca to the falls of Po kegama. Through this district the | mounds are discovered everywhere. They are composed of various materials and were probably erected for different purposes, but all bear witness to the ex- istence here in prehistoric times of a people who have now utterly vanished from the face of the earth. | This mound building people lived probably, in Mr. Brower's opinions, where our people now have their homes at least 1,200 years ago. They discov- ered and opened the various portages between the great lakes in the Missis sippi basin. They were of a race su- | perior to any of the savage tribes that | succeeded them. The host of relics picked up here and there through the region, together with ths contents of mounds that have been explored, gives us what knowledge we have of them. They resided mostly upon lake shores, in villages and lived upon game and | fish. They used vessels of pottery, stone | implements, the bow and arrow and | implements of copper. They were of full stature, and the formation of the skulls that Mr. Brower's party exhumed and examined indicates a high degree | of intelligence. The existence of mounds of smaller construction—efligy mounds and sites | for worship or for burial—over a wide | portion of the Mississippi valley sug- | gests the general distribution at some | prehistoric day of this race of people, of | whose other work we know so little, | and whose, origin and fate are wrapped in common mystery. —St. Paul Globa A Latter Day Philanthropist, Loans without security often hold « certain Lacour are a which usurers 1t to the un | wary, but a thought it might be made still more tempting by advertising that people could pledge their honor for a substantial monetary advance.

At 6 gharp I got away from the royal dinner to be punctual to the minute at the other one. (Given the circumstances, it vas a feast for Lucullus. Bismarck, Roon and their suites had already come. We staid at table from 6 till 10. Moltke then set up whist tables. As the punch was delicious, we all staid till 1 in the morning. Bismarck told a lot of funny stories, and none funnier than his account of Jules Favre's interview and the interminable speeches of that French envoy. One might fancy oneself, Bis marck said, at a public meeting when he talked. “They read us some verses that he was sending to Germany. In conse quence of his dropping a line, the ef- fect was to the last degree comio. We all went off into roars of laughter—one of us lay flat on the table, another skip- ped round it, and Moltke showed his sense of comicality by steeping bits of bread in his full wineglass and throw ing them in our faces. This dinner took place in a small chateau belonging to an aristocratic old French lady. She did the honors of her house in a courtly, old fashioned style, but she spoke no other languages but French. The dinner went off so well that our host felt he must thank the cid lady.

Bishop | THREE NEW YORK LANDMARKS, Trinity, Bt.

They are the only three chin on Broadway below Vorty-sec ond 10H treet, and cach has come to be part of the popular distinction of that thor mghiare. They are Trinity, St. Paul's and Grace. All three have high claims to architectural eminence, and all three are of one denomination—the Protestant Episcopal. The site of Trinity church, on Broad way at the head of Wall street, is ap praised officially at $4,000,000; that of St. Paul's church, at Broadway and Fulton street, at $1,760,000, and that of Grace church, Broadway opposite Eley enth street, at $360,000. The frontage of Trinity church, including the church yard, is 406 feet, of St. Paul's church 167 feot and of Grace church 150 feet The gross valuation of these churches is $0,100,000, and as the usual rate of assessment on real estate is about 60 per cent the actual market value of these three Broadway plots is in excess of $10,000,000.
