"THE BRA Nm Was it I3ui.lt by a Correspondence ?S JACKSON, MISS., Deo. G.-It may be that by a chance discovery, away down in tho wilds of Southwest Mis sissippi, will give antiquarians and archaeologists a new problem to solve, the answer to which may knock into a cocked hat all preconceived notions and theories as to the aboriginal in habitants of this country, or those in the lower part of thc Mississippi Val ley. At the present moment in expedi tion is being fitted out, amply pro vided with funds, and u? der the direction of d'Stl?guistiuu t?t Cb theolo gists and antiquarians, who wili give the "Brandywine Wall" in lower Mis sissippi a thorough investigation in thc light of science and experience in such matters. This expedition is ex pected to reach Copiah and Claiborne counties some timo in thc present month, and excavations will at once begin. The results of tho work will be watched by students all over the world with intense interest. Some twenty years ago a few of the inhabitants of thc southeast corner of Claiborne County, Mississippi, needed some Htonns for building purposes, to make foundations and chimneys for their dwellings. Some of the people remembered, so it is alleged, seeing some very nice, regular looking stones in the woods in a pile, .''rom which the accumulated loam of ages had been washed by tho rains. To this place tho people repaired. They prized somo of the blocks, which woro conveniently cut, from their resting place, and then tho "quarry" became famous. People for miles and miles around came to get some of the stones whonever their uses demanded stone for any purpose. It was found that the "quarry" extended east and wost. Tons of sandstono were taken away. Some of it was in blocks hewed into squares, and some of tho blocks wero longer than others, but they were all trimmed with almost mathematical ex actness. There was a sort of cement, also, which filled the craoks where the stones were laid. It is hard, and of a grayish color. In the upper layers of the stone, the cement has disintegra ted, but down in the middle of the wall it was clearly defined and well preserved. The discovery was made that a few miles from the "quarry" a branch of Bayou Pierre had brokon through the "quarry." On either side of the stream a good idea of the "quarry" oould be obtained, there was the same sandstone; it was out in the same rec tangular blocks, and the "quarry" seemed to be about twelve or fifteen feet in width and the same in height, probably a little wider at the bottom than at the top. - Along its top grew great live oaks, slow-growing scrub oaks and long-leaf pines lerge enough to furnish masts for the biggest ves sel that ever breasted waters. It was noticed that there was a long ridgo extending over the country, and that in various plaoes where the dirt had been washed away, the blookB of the wall were shown. Along about 1875-6, reports of the quarry, or tho "Brandywine Wall," as it had become to bo known in the community, owing to its proximity to Brandywine, a little country settle ment and post office near who. 2 lao first stone was taken out, got beyond the immediato neighborhood. Tho first person to tako cognizance of them was a Miss Lou Jones, a resident of Hazlehurst, Copiah County. She was a scholarly woman, and moreover, an enthusiastic amateur photographer, and she proposed to get up an ex pedition to go out in the Brandywine neighborhood and make excavations and take pictures of the curiosity, but for some /euson the expedition fell through, and the pictures were never taken. However, the talk of it stimulated local interest, and a few years later more definite reports were obtained. It was then discovered that the wall could bo traced for several miles by the mound of earth which covered it. In some places it was almost level with the ground, in other places it towered a number of feet above the level of the surrounding country, and at various places along the narrow ridge the stones were exposed, showing almost conclusively that it was a con tinuation of the same work. The ex act beginning or ending of the wall has not to this day been ascertained. After the agitation of Miss Jones in favor of an expedition to examine the wal at length, Captain T. B. Birdsong) of Hazlehurst, became inter ested in it. About that time Colonel Louis J. Dupre moved to Hazlehurst and began the publication of a paper there. In company with Captain Birdsong, they agreed to make an ex amination of tho place. Colonel Bu 'WINE WALL." [Prehistoric Race i t. Louis licpublic. of some note in this State. He held a consular position under President Cleveland's first administration in one of the cities of Southern Mexico, and while there became deeply interested in tho Aztec ruins ?nd aboriginal re mains, with which that country aod Central America are so rich. The two gentlemen visited the Brandywine Wall. Speaking of the trip, Captain Birdsong said recently: "Colonel Dupre insisted upon our visiting it, so toget.ier we drove through the country, some twenty four or twenty-fivo iui?es, to th?? J place, in au inaccessible part of the : country. 1 "With a Mr. Bridges, who lives at Brandywine, and a Mr. S. S. Starnes, who also resides in the neighborhood, ' we visited thc wall, locally known as j tho 'quarry.' On top of the wall it appears broad enough for a two horse wagon to be driven on it, and with plenty of room to spare. In fact, the top, where the dirt has been removed, looks much like a paved street, cover ed with heavy blocks of stone. "Mr. Bridges got a negro and a crowhnr and showed us how the peo ple of that section got the stone out of the wall. The negro stood on top of the wall with the crowbar, and then pounded at tho wall with repeated vertical strokes until thc crowbar 'bit' into a crack or seam. Then, working the bar laterally, out rolled a stone, several feet square, almost a perfect cube, from its ancient bed of cement, falling from our feet as though fresh from the stonecutter's hand. From thc spot from which the stone was moved could bo seen the cement which held it in place, and the ends of tho other stones and their sides, cut and adjusted with mathematical nicety, were plainly visible. "High above us, 200 or 300 feet, rose a hill with an oval shape, much liko the dome of the Capitol at Wash ington, and tho marvelous part re mains to be told-the wall apparently runs under the hill, for it is exposed on tho other side. "I distinctly remember Colonel Du pre remarking: 'If tb' . hill bo the sediment of agoB, how old must be this ruin?' "I received a letter from Mr. John D. Jewett, who resides at Newton, O., in regard to the wall, and who got all the information I had about it. He prepared a statement about tho wall and submitted it to Professor F. W. Putnam, Curator of the Peabody Museum, and to Doctor J. F. Snider, editor of the Amerioan Archaeologist, and to Dootor D. G. Brinton of the University of Pennsylvania, the latter being probably the most noted au thority in America on arohaeology. "Doctor Brinton wroto that he 'thought the wall might he a natural stone ledge with regular stratifica tions. Just such a wall is found in East Tennessee, and has at various times been quoted as tho work of aborigines, and the supposed oement is the decaying surfaces of tho layers in juxtaposition.' But one glance at thc wall will convince him that he is not correct in his surmise. You will notion that he does net auto positive ly, but says 'it might be.' " The conditions for miles around preoludc any chance of *he wall being a natural ledge. The nearest saud stcuu is in the uppor part of Hinds County, nearly fifty milos away, and it is of a totally different character, from the stone in tho wall under dis cussion and has no regular stratifica tion. Governor Longino, of Mississippi, has become interested in tho subject and he has individually set to work and collected a fund of several hun dred dol?ais to bc expended in making excavation? along tho wall and in the hill referred to. In addition a privato expedition, consisting of R. W. Mo Claughry, warden of tho United States Penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kas., and several scientists, is expected during tho present month, as is in ex 6edition undor the auspices of the University of Chicago, with the pro jectors of whioh Governor Longino has been corresponding. Mr. Thomas C. Watson, a prominent oitizon of Copiah County, wroto to Governor Longino, sume time ago, suggesting that the Capitol Commission might get the stone for the now Capitol from the "Brandywine Quarry.' A soo tion of the stone was sent to Governor Longino as a sample. The stone was sent by a gentleman who lives in the vicinity of tho wall with the hope that tho Capitol Commission, of whioh the Governor is the president, will find it available in the construction of the new million dollar Capitol. The supply Rooms inexhaustible. The (J vernor has sent the sample to tho Stui'hsonian Institute. If the scien tists there report that tho stone is good for such building purposes, the commission may visit Brandywine with a view to purchasing a portion of the land upon whioh tho wall is situa ted. In that ovent Mississippi will have tho most interesting Capitol in the United States-ono built ot atone quarried and drcssod by, some prehh torioraoe. Ch.ap Giving of the Rich. Abraham S. Hewitt, formerly mayor of New York and member of Cougress, has long been a mau of wealth and distinotion. He has been successful iu bunin ?BB and honored in society. No one could speak severely of the shortcomings of the rich with less risk of being wriltuu down an envious or mischievous person, seeking any unworthy end. Therefore when Mr. Hewitt told the Educational Alliance, at a meeting held io his own splendid and fabu lously wealthy city, that tho rich were very far from doing their duty to tho poor, and asserted that their giv I ing, even thc freest and the greatest, i? relatively smull and inadequate, he was listened to as ono speaking with authority. He is out of politics. For two national campaigns he has stood with the organization against which he used to struggle in the more con servative days of Democracy. Ho has nothing to gain by sensationalism. And the rich manufacturer and civic leader is right. The giving of the rich, even thc most imposing and famous of thc benefactions of the very wealthy, is small and niggardly by contrast with tho offerings of the poor. It is vast in amount. In figures it is thc most notable giving ever known, but weighed against thc wealth out of which it is taken it amounts to little. Measured by the personal sac rifico involved, by tho narrowed op portunities for enjoyment, tho pinch ing and caro required to get along without what is given, all tho gifts ol all tho millionaires uouibiued cannot stand against the relief that very pooi people give those still poorer when fl simple tragedy of death or terrible illness blackens some dark fireside it the Blums of a great city. Gao a man who retains $10,000,000 or one-tooth of ?hst sum, out of hi yearly income be said to make anj personal sacrifice if he devotes all th? rest of his annual gains to benevolent or philanthropy? Does his generosity entail any lack? Does it make th* least difference to him except in th accumulation of money beyond hi utmost possible wants ? But the unnoticed giving of the poo and much of that which is dono b tho middle classes must always mea .self-denial. Its price is paid in les enjoyable food, less satisfactory clot! ing, fewer books and pictures, nat rower advantages for children, res trie cd travel and sight-seeing. It mean less provision for the chances of at vcr si ty, more dang?r of want in ol age or leng illness. It is real givir of the very heart and spirit of tl giver. Who shall presume to measu: in the same balance such gifts ai the great sums set apart by the vei wealthy for purposes of charity or ac other public objeot BO long as snob ui of riohes implies no privation at costs no self-denial? Mr. Hewitt emphasized anoth phase of the meager giving of the rit when he pointed ont that by lettii the poor jaok ample means of eduo tioo in youth and reasonable opport ni tier, for self-improvement all throuj life possessors of wealth were neglet ing tho best possible precautio against social disorder and exoessc He laid great stross on the need schools, libraries, museums, and 17 institutions as safeguards against da gerous forms of vice and ignorant Ho asserted that from a purely selfi point of view overy rioh man must more giving than ho has dono he tut'ore if he is to be guided by pi denoe. The obligations of great wealth i much discussed at present, but thi is still more to be said on 3 that gr? subject. It is a matter of the utm importance in a country whero gr fortunes are rolling up to prodigit size with the rapidly witnessed in t United States.-Cleveland Leader.

Some time previously I had started from Memphis with an artist on a commission from a Memphis paper to write up tho educational in stitutions of Mississippi, and during Thanksgiving week was at Columbus, in Lowndes County, where the Girls' Industrial School, one of tho most valuable colleges I have ever seen or heard of, is located. I was invited by a friend to go quail shouting Thanks giving Day and gladly accepted. By daybreak we were ou our way to the sparsely settled country down thc Tombigbee Uiver in a light wagon that not only carried us and our dogs and a darky boy driver, but a basket filled with eatables and drinkables. Reaching a point where my friend said we wonld begin to find birds we left the wagon, tho boy being directed to meet us later in the day several miles away. '.Wc followed the dogs, which were duly diligent, but not a covey did we find. Beaching the rendezvous made with a ohuckic-headed darky wo didn't find him or wagon either.

Investigation discovered th.;t it carno from a negro cabin, and when we reached it a big, f.i, obsequious, smiling mammy, wi tl: a bandanna around her head, stood in the door way. Well, she cooked that rabbit for us and made us some ash-cake and fried us some big hominy left ovei from breakfast and made us a oup oi coffee. Talk about your Thanksgiving dinner.

SORES ANE Sores and Ulcers never become chronic unless thc blood is in poor condition-ia sluggish, weak and unable to throw ofi the poisons that accumulate in it. Thc system must be relieved of the unhealthy matter through the sore, and great danger tr? iif/? would follow should it bcd before the blood has been made pure and healthy and all impurities eliminated from thc sys tem. S.S.S. begitj? the cure by first cleans ing and invigorating the blood, building up the general health and removing from the system A QQNSTAHT ORAS ft thiner. UPON THE SYSTEM. When this has been accomplished the dis charge gradually ceases, and the sore or ulcer heals. It is the tendency of these old indolent sores to grow worse and worse, and eventually to destroy the bones.
