1t has engaged the attention Of . great
many savans, who have raked. open
the bowels Of the earth, to class what

learned treaties from Baron Won Hell

From the day Of Plato the philoso-

been theories to explode theories, and
at the present day, such disasters are
more common than the colspsing Of
'tfiues."' a
It has always been favorite theory
with us-the progressive theory-and
we have ransacked all the books, and
turned over rotten logs, to find proof
for the position that man-the present
powerful and noble animal, was origin
ally a monkey. We would give all the
balance of our long cherished philoso-

Creator himself. We venerate on this
account the theory of Pythagoras that
all things came originally from a gooses
egg. over whose incubation the old hen
0llaos presided.
But apart from all this, there are
some facts that psychologists all agree
about-a man is not monkey for more
reasons, than because he has no useless
appendage to unite him to the feline
family. The fact is, there is greater
resemblace in many instances to the
ass tribe; to which many deep thinking
men admit a clost proximity. We
think it radically wrong, and very
slanderous, that good honest minded
people should be imposed upon, by the
exhibition of idrotic dwarfs Of the gen.
as homo. and made to believe that
they are stripe, or a cross between
the male Ourangoutang, and the female
species of our own Immaculate family.

The rush of office.seekers at Wash
ington is greater than has been known
ut any antecedent commencement Of a
new Administration. This is not only
remarkable in the number of seekers
for clerkship and inferior Offices. but in
the unusual throng Of candidates for
those stations although not the highest,
yet are generally sought and filed by
men above. the average capacity and
character. This is a feature Of our re-
publican system which is calculated to
diminish the respect Of the world for
our political institutions. It enhances
the discredit when the wide field and
ample remuneration in the United
