NOVELTIES OF TYPE IN THE ANIMAL weRLD.--Sub-
ject only to these modifying agencies, there is, as
has been said, remarkable persistency in national
features and forms, insomuch that single ndivid-
ual thrown into a family different from himself is
absorbed in it, and all trace of him lost after few
generations. But, while there is such persstency
to ordinary observation, it would also appear that
nature has power of producing new varieties,
though this is done rarely Such novelties Of type
abound in the vegetable world, are rarely
in the animal circle, and Perhaps least frequent
of occurrence in our own race. There Is a noted
instance of the production, on New England farm,
of variety of sheep with unusually short legs,
which was kept up by breeding, on account of the
convenience in that country of having sheep which
are unable to jump over low fences. The starting
and maintaining OF breed Of cattle-that is, va
riety marked by some desirable pecuiarity-are fa-
miIiar to large class Of persons. 1t appears only
necessary, when variety has been thus produced,
that union should take place between individuals
similarly characterized, in order TO establish it, Ear
~ IN the last century, man, named Lambert, was
about half an inch long, thickly growing all over
his body The popularity was transmitted to his
children and was last heard Of in third generation
The popularity Of six fingers on the hand and six
toes on the foot appears in like manner, in families
which have no record or tradition of such pecu-
liarity having affected them at any former period,
and it is then sometimes to descend through sew
eral generations. 1t was Mr.. Lawrence's opinion,
that pair, in which both parties were SO distin-
guished, might be the progentors Of variety of
the race, who would be thus marked in all future
times II is not easy to surmise the causes which
operate in producing such varieties. Perhaps they
simply types in nature, possible to be realized
under certain appropriate conditions, but which con-
ditions are such as altogether to elude notice. |
might cite examples Of such possible types the
rise of whites among the negroes the occurrence OF
the family of black children in the valley of the

pressing desire to sustain the President and the

The meeting of the citizens of the city and county

several thousand persons being present In conse-
quence of difficulty in selecting the chairman we
regret to say that much confusion prevailed, which

meeting, and resulted in the organization of two
meetings on the stand. The first was organized at
4o'cock by calling Thomas M'Culy, esq, to the
chair, who appeared on the stand, when Benjamin
III. Brewster, esq, commenced reading series OF
resolutions which, from the confusion and noise that
prevailed about the stage, We were unable to hear
