ABOUT THE DISTRIBUTION OF RATIONS IN NEw ORLEANS.—Senator Kellogg, day before yesterday, had a dispatch sent from here stat- ing that he had called on Secretary McCrary represented to him that it would be better to send the government rations for the yellow fever sufferers to the collector of customs at New Orleans for distribution instead of to the aid societies. This course should be pursued, he stated, owing to the partisanship in New Orleans and the rivalry among the societies. The dispatch also said that Secretary McCrary upon these representations had ordered the rations issued to the collector. The facts in the case are that Senator Kellogg never called on Secretary mtr ia reference to the mat- ter. The Secretary had directed that the ra- tions be issued to the collector, be thought that through him was the best mode of distributing them.

An Indian Soap Stone Quarry on Rock Creek. os ™ An article published in the Star of June Ist, ‘1878, on the rediscovery of an Indian soap- stone quarry in Virginia, was widely copied at the time and has been the means of bringing to light a similar quarry at our very doors. A year or two since, Dr. Elmer R. Reynolds, of the pension office, while wandering along one of the branches of Rock Creek a short distance from the boundary of the city, found portions of several unfinished aboriginal soapstone pots. These he cached. and was prevented by business from paying further attention to the matter until the appearance of the Stak art'- cle, to which reference has been made, giving an account of excavations atthe Vir Ania ey by Mr. Frank H. Cushing, cura or of the ethnological department of the national museum. After reading this, Dr. Revnold communicated his discovery by letter to Prof. Baird, secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, who sent the communication to Mr. Cushing then at Chulu engaged in completing his explorations of the quarry there, with the suggestion th.t it would be well aiter his re- turn to the city tohunt up Dr. Reynolds and visit the place he had found in order to repor¢ its scientific bearing. When Mr. Cushing had finished his extensive excavations in Virginia and modelled and photographed them, be re- turned to the city, a little more than a week sinee, after an absence of pearly three months. Hunting up Dr. Reynolds a day or two ago, he accompanied this enthusiastic amateur eee to the place of which he had given information. IMPORTANCE OF THE DISCOVERY. Imagine Mr. Cushing’s surprise on recog: nizing it at a glance as one of the most exten- sive sources of aboriginal supply of soapstone for making vessels in this country, second only, so far as he knew, to the one from which he had just returned in Virginia. Soabundant were the remains of aboriginal art all over the hillin which the bed of this useful material occurs, that within an hour the visitors had discovered portions of more than a hundred ubfinished vessels, many of which were near- ly complete and of very .are scientific value. INDIAN SOAP-STONE VESSELS. _ Of these, some had only the capacity of a pint, wich perfectly formed cavities, and large handy projections at either end to serve as ears. Others, again, were nearly two feet in diameter, rude, massive. and entirely too pon- derous to admit of being readily brought away. Some few were well finished exterior- ly andturnished with flat bottoms, that they might be the more readily placed on the fire, without risk of upsetting. Others were very rude, shallow and broad, and evidently de- signed for use as baking plates. Along the brow of the hill occur seven hol- Jows, all so choked up with the accumulated vegetable mould of centuries, as to be now, except to the trained eye, almost undiscover- able. These mark THE SITE OF ANCIENT QUARRYINGS. One among them, evidently the last aban- doned, is quite distinct, the heap of earth thrown up at the time it was made being still faintly observed. Near it a small mass of soapstone was picked up, showing five or six | hacks made by some prospecting Indian with his stone axe or tomahawk, to test its strength or degree of hardness. ANOTHER VISIT. Theexplorers returned home well satisfied with the results of their labors, and on the fo'- lowing morning Mr. Cushing, accompanied by Mr. Wm. J. Rhees, chief clerk of the institu. tion, and his daughter, Messrs. Mace and Her bert; Charles Woltz, an employe of the insti- tution, and a colored assistant, revisited the quarry. Every one worked with zeal, and a Dumber of choice antiquarian treasures were soon gathered and transported to the convey- ance in waiting. WHAT MISS RHEES DISCOVERED. Among the discoveries were two of especial interest to be credited to Miss Rhees. Uae, a small oval bowl, provided with handles ‘at either end, had been neariy completed by its aboriginal manufacturer when a mis-clipren dered it useless, and it had been thrown on that account aside. The other, an exact coun- terpart of the one just described, in exterior, showed the merest beginning of hullowing out in the form of a slight groove running around its upper edge and defining what would have been the thickness of its rim had it ever been completed. MANY OTHER INTERESTING TYPES were discovered, such as rude quartz picks entilely like those of Virginia, and digging polis of steatiie probably used in excavating earth. EXPLORERS OUT TO-DAY. Early this morning a ae of scientific gen- tlemen, con: ng of Dr. Charles Rau, of the archeological department of the Smithsonian Institution ; Prof. O. T. Mason, of Columbian University, an enthusiast in ‘ethnology; Dr. Reynolds, the discoverer ; and Drs. Toner and Bomer went with Mr. Cushing to paya visit to the qa . Aided in prosecuting the work by the liberality of the Smithsonian Institu- lion, it is the intention of Mr. Cushing to com. mence excavations at once, which will still further reveal the interest and scientific im- portance of this ancient Indian work, which, ly ig within) a stone's throw of the national capital, has for nearly a century failed to obtain either fromy the curious or ‘the learned the attention which it has deserved. PRACTICAL VALUE. The fact that soapstone may be found in the lecality where the quarry has been discovered has not been unknown to Washingtonians, and in the history of the city soapstone has been obtained from places along Rock Creek for use as backs of grates and for similar pur- eve) for many years, but it has remained for he present time to make known the true char- acter and extent of the quarry and the archie- ological interest attaching to it. Another source of the strong, coarse-grained steatite of which the Indians made their pots and other vessels is thus discovered, and, with the ex- ception of the Virginia quarry, is the only one known in this region. The ‘rarity of such deposits gives the stone a considerable com- mercial value, as excellent material for lining stoves, furnaces and ranges, or for use as bridges to smelting works. The discovery of this aboriginal quarry with its rich anti- quarian treasures, and also recently of several others in Alabama and Tennessee, is mainly due to the impetus given to investigation in this direction by the rediscovery of the Vir- inia quarry, the opeeruene excavations by r. Cushing, and the wide-spread publications concerning them. A VOICE FROM MR, STEPHENS.—The Hart- well (Ga.) Sun says: ‘A gentleman in private conversation with Mr. Stephens asked whom he favored for President and Vice President. He replied that Hendricks and Hampton was his ticket ; said that he would prefer Hancock to Hendricks, but that he was not asavailable ; that the a people were tired of military Presi- e Renbeman Said to Mr. Stephens jat he thought Hendricks and Seepiens: would this Mr. Ste- thi bea more available ticket. To phens assented, but said there were two reasons why he could not receive the Vice Presidency: One, because he did not want the place, and the other, he was physically unable attend to the duties of the position. This explodes the idea that Mr. Stephens is seeking the Vice Presidency with Ulysses S. Grant.” STRIKE RIOTS IN PHILADELPHIA—At Phila- deiphia yesterday,when the new hands—about a dozen in number—who had taken the plac-3 of the old ones at Verree’s rolling mill, were leaying the mill, escorted by two policemen, an attack was made on them by men, women and children, who suddenly appeared from the alleys and courts in the vicinity. Bricks were hurled, and one of the workmen, Mi- chael Foust, of Carben county, was struc! the head and badly injured. His assailant Chas. Murphy, was subsequently arrested an locked up. An effort was made to rescue Murphy, and the officer who had him in chara was obliged to draw his revolver to eep the crowd at bay.
