SOME LENTEN DIVERSIONS. ‘The Dog Show Helps Out s Dull Week—The List of Prospective Weddings Growing— ‘The Reception to the Diplomatic Corps— ‘Various Events of the Week. ‘The past week was the quietest since Lent set im and there isno reason to suppose that the will be any livelier now until after Easter. ‘hose who are fond of outdoor exercise made the most of their chances the fine days of the past week and many carried their enthusiasm to the extent of walking about yesterday in the snow and rain. ‘The afternoon church services are well attended and, #0 are the early morning ones for that matter, right straight along. Theater parties were never more popular than they bave been all the past winter, and have been even more #0 during Lent. Music lovers the past week bad unusual opportunities also, and the symphony concert was the largest meet society has ha for some time. The dog show afforded a form of diversion no less interesting, and was well attended by those who own the most dof themselves. Between one thing and another Lent will be over before you know it, and then ‘& two or three weeks of a spring season can be ¥ surely reckoned upon. Two weeks tomorrow will be Easter Sunday. ‘The Easter season will not be inordinately yy. The chances are that it will be absolutely ‘oid of official entertainments. ‘The list of weddings continues on the mecrease and ail to be very pretty in arrangement. Be- side, the interesting personality of the couples themselves, however, would be sufficient. ‘There was considerable disappointment among the ladies of the diplomatic corps yes- terday when it became known that the recep- tion of the corps this afternoon by the Presi- dent did not imply that they were expected to be present. Not only the ladies of the corps but the corps it-elf would have been gratified im meeting Mr. Cleveland at this juncture, most of them never having seen her and all of them wanting to do so. | Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs. Harriet Lane Jobn- son met yesterday afternoon at the residence of Mise Clara Barton. The present ang former mistresses of the White House had a pleasant chat together before the lecture began, to whien both had been invited. At an inter- mision in the proceedings the latter was anxious to go, but hesitated to do so because Mrs.” Cleveland gave no sign of leaving. She asked a friend, “Will it be proper for me to go before Mrs. Cleveland?” and the latter laughed as she said: “Surely ou can answer that question better than [ can.” Mrs, Johnson replied: “Well, vou know I am very oid-tachioned and belong to the old times.”” She waited, however, as did everybody else for Mrs. Cleveland to make a move first. ‘The Vice President and Mrs. Stevenson have accepted an invitation to be present Easigr Monday night at the bezaar which is to be held in Baltimore fow the purpose of raising funds for th: monument to the Marriand heroes of the revoiution. The bazaar will be princ.paily an exhibition of revolutionary retics. ‘Miss Grace Carew Sheldon of Euffalo, N. ¥., manager of the successful Woman's Exchange of that city. 18 in town, the guest of Mrs. W.W.

An Organization Formed as the Result of the Meeting Yesterday. As mentioned in yesterday's Stax, an inter- | esting address was delivered before the gather | ing at Miss Clara Barton's house yesterday by | Mrs, Virginia T.

A Curious Pile of © bling Masonry on the Wild Plains of Texas. A Texas correspondent writes to one of the scientific deyarsments of the government of a strangely interesting prehistoric wall discov- | | ered on the frontier of the lone star state. This | mervelous ruin surpasses in interest all the other wonderiul remains hitherto found of the people who once inhabited the whole Mexican plateau and attained a high state of civiliza- tion. It passes through Milano and has a total of about twenty miles, It is built of ten to fifteen feet high and as many feet thick, Its height and thickness are thus almost as great as the famous Chinese wall on the north of China, its direction is north- east and <ouchwest, It is for the most part underground, and this is one of the curious things that puzzie those wise men wo are supposed to know ail about prehistoric remains, It is undoubtediy very old. ‘One might suppose it to be the sure founda. tion of a gigantic fortress which rose above the ground ny feet. The towers and other Means 0! defense with which it might have been provided have had time to crumbie away in the Years that have passed. ‘The long fortress may have been pulied down by the conquering in- vaders. As the peopie died out from she land the debris of the old wall would in either case cover its foundation. PROBABLY BUILT BY AZTECS. The Aztecs probably built this wall. They have left some inscriptions on it, but since their language is entirely lost no scholar can ever Lope to decipher them. One covers a space eight feet square. The characters are kindred to indian inscriptions, but not so closely allied that their mystery can be penetrated. ‘There was undoubtedly a populous village or city in the vicmnity, for ona high hill near Milano the remains of a mighty temple of wor- shiv are found, ‘this was suppored by more than 200 lofty pillars. Some of them sre still wanding. They were made of cl which was well burned. ‘This gave them the appearance of stone. In this temple were placed many idols, broken parts of which are preserved; one, shaped like an ow!, is preserved entire. Human sucrifices were made to these as well as sacri- fices of birds, beasts and reptiles. Skulls and | bones have been preserved in the clay. Some of these belonged to very large animals. Some are peirdied and it is thought that these early Aziecs mav have understood the art of petrifaction and thus preserved the bones of their sacrifices, Many of the skulls show marks of violence, which was done perhaps when the human victims were slain. Strange tosay, none of these skulls are larger than the head of an infant and they have molar teeth. | CURIOUSLY MARKED IDOLS. ‘The idols are all curiously marked. Around each pillar small stones are piled upin circles or squares, and inside each circie, underneath the pillar, there is a center or foundation stone, fashioned to reprevent the Godhead. eamly accounted for. Perhaps it marks the boundary of certain tribal territory which was exposed to the atiacks of the enemy. An enormous amount of Inbor and material must have been required for its construction, if built above the ground on the same gigantic plan as the fourdation.
