A Great 3Tytery soleetl at last. Th Mound
Builder Chimerical. A lleaultful
Theory tipoiled. And part of
History Shorne of its Magic
and Romantic Charms.
These mounds are found in almost
every part .of America, mainly in the
great valley of the Mississippi, also
in Texas, Mexico, and in South Amer
ica; but 1 will only speak of those
found in the United States. I do not
affirm that the Pyramid builders did.
not build any earth works in America;
but I do affirm thoy did not build tha
mounds of which J. am speaking. That
there are traces of a former occu
pancy of America by man, I am aware
of, but, I an talking only of mounds.
The works of nature fltri - tin works of
art do notmerge into each other as do
the different shad 3S of colors, the hues
of the rainbow or light and darkness,
or the four seasons of the year. But
their limits are clearly definable and no
one need mistake the one for the other.
We cannot be at a loss at this particu
lar point amid all the objects around. us.
Every work of human origin shows
marks and traces of human skill and
labor. The Rosetta stone found in
Egypt in 1799 was as readily known to
have passed through human hands, as
that the nummulities there are known
to be the product of geological agencies.
The Pyramids of Egypt, though it is
unknown, when, for what purpose, or
by whom built, yet we knoyjust as well
that they were built by man as if we
had been theie and seen Luge piles
going up. Those pillars found in' des
olate places in the old world are known
to have been so formed by man. If
every Chinaman had died before civili
zation dawned upon the western world
and no account of that people or
land had ever been known, still if a
party of explorers passing over that
land of desolation had come upon
the Chinese wall, all would pro
nounce it the work of njan, because
nature does not work in that way.
On tho south coast of Wale?, washed
by the Bristol Channel, is a pile of
boulders about two miles long and
about three hundred yards wide. They
are filled in order, one upon the other,
higher than the tides were known to
rise. These boulders are round, worn
smooth by friction, and piled in this
marvelous way as though put there
for a break water, for which they serve.
Yer n'o one belieVes this to be the
work of man though comparative order,
wldtTi and regularity characterize it3
whole general outline. The stonehenge
on the plains of Salisburg, England,
which consists of twelvestones, of which
nothing is known but thefactof their ex
is teme and order, aie known to be the
result of human labor and skill, just as
well and readily as they had been placed
there in the memory of man, Fmgal's
Cave, near the west coast of Scotland,
wonderful in its structural formation,
though in many parts like man's work
is well known to bo so formed by geo
ogical agencies in the past. A petri
fied fossil is as readily known to be
produced by geological, chemical agen
cies, as that a vast pile of broken rocks
is known to be produced by geological,
mechanical, agencies. No one ever took
even the rudest Indian arrow head,
though found amid a million of small
stones fora naturally worn rock, nor the
smoothest pebble found to be a human
polished stone. I have cited these in
stances to impress the fact that the
works of art and the works of nature are
clearly definable. But here is a clss of
works, the mounds' which do not show
a single trace of human skill, and hu
man design, and still we presist in say
ing they were built by some unknown
race of people. The only two reasons
that I can imagine why these mounds
have been ascribed to human agencies
are these: First because we have here
tofore known absolutely nothing of
their origin, and, second, their close re
semblance to the old potato and tobacco
hills ot our forefathers, which hills
were known to be made. I am Some
times almost led to believe that much
that is called science consists more of
telling what one does not know, and
what cannot be shown to be either true
or false reason or analogy, than by
systematizing facts that are known and
from establishing theories and drawing
logical deductions. The mounds and
hills and mountains in mound shape
were here when the whites first came to
America, and here they are today, just
as they were then, where they have
been unmolested. The Indians knew
nothing of them then. No Indian tribe
could give any account of their origin,
simply because the mounds were
mounds, before the Indians was Indian.
The historian could tell nothing of
their origin, because tho mounds
were mounds before historv, and for
J ought I know, and as I believe, the
mounds were mounds before man was
man. Their origin is not to look for in
traditions, or in history or in books, or
even in the mound themselves, but un
der the mounds. Many of the mounds
in various parts of the country have
been examined dug into, but none
have ever been dug under. Strange
this has never been thought of. In some
of the mounds have been found, lelics,
curiosities of Indian origin and make.
Perhap the nation before the Indians,
whoever they were, may have de
posited in the mounds many of their
tools of husbandry? hunting and
fishing tackle, vessels of domestic use,
and probably every people, who ever
lived in America may have used them
for similar purposes. All perhaps in
every agti used them for burying their
dead, as in many of them have been
found skeletons, but none of these
facts, or all of them together, prove or
even indicate that the mound are artifi
cial. Everything found in theso
mounds prove to a thinking mind four
facts. First, that they were put there
after the mounds were made. Second,
that the things found showed human
skill, however rude. Third, that they
were foreign substances to the material
of which the mounds are composed,
and fourth that the mounds were not
made by human labor. We do not say
that among the vast number of mounds
spread all over the plains and many of
the States that there may not be some
of human origin, indeed, there may be
earth works built by a race of people
Tong since extinct, but- I affirm all were
tsiot buili by human agency even if
some were, and I have reason to believe
that none of those about which I am
writing, were. There have been found
in America old walls and old forts and
other things of human origin of which
the Indians knew nothing.
The large number of persons on this
coast, who crossed the plains and who
were so familiar with the mounds in
the states, and who saw and crossed so
many coming west, could not help ob
serving several facts patent to all.
Whether these mounds were single or
in groups, whether they were large or
small, there was never seen a hollow
or depression around their base, or
among them where the earth was taken
from to build them with, and more,
that their general base did not appear to
be lower than the general surface of the
ground upon which they stood or were
situated. If they were artificial, there
would certainly be some trail of where
the earth came from to build them with,
and all among them and on the out
skirts of a, group or on the land around
the base of a single one, the surface
would be lower than tha base,- which
is not the fact Supposing them to be
artificial the surface must be lower and
around a large group for some distance
off there would be a depression towards
the group, and this depre?siou would
be in proportion to the number and
size of the mounds. This is not the
case. The general base of all groups
are and even cf single ones not only do
not sit or stand m a basin or depression
but when not level with the general
surface they often stand on a rise or
swell, which extends some distance
around. This would not be so if they
were artificial, but -the fact of this
gradual rise or swell upon which they
stand, says in silent language they
were produced by geological forces.

Every conservative philologist should
earnestly oppose the now too prevalent
practice'of shortening: Mugwump into
Mug. The abbreviation saves only a
little space, and it sacrifices what is by
far the more significant half of the woid,
The wumpshness of the Mugwump is a
quality even more essential and charac,
