The CArAcoMBs OF PARIs.-Not long since
remarkable depression in the surface Of
the pavement was noticed in the middle of
the Palace de Pantheon. Some of the paw
ing stones soon gave way, and an immense
cavity appeared, the extreme depth Of
which, reminded the spectator of the ex-
istance of that vast subterranean space be-
meath the city called the Catacombs. The
whole extent of the square seemed about TO
be engulfed, as the crust at this point had
become very thin, inasmuch that the pas
sage of heavy vehicle would doubtless
have led to dangerous accidents. Measures
were promptly taken TO turn the current of
travel III other directions, and the labor of
bracing the square from below or wholly
filling the yawning cavity, have, we hope,
by this time, relieved the gay city from the
depressing effect of this sudden opening of
her future tomb. -sa q fznv- F+e. sas

singular Race OF Human geiuss.

There are now in Loudon two very singular
human beings, of race which has hitherto
been very little known to the civilized world ,
They came from South Africa, where they arc
called Earth men. Theycare totally distinct
from all other known African races-as much
so as If they had dropped upon this earth from
another planet. They are diminutive in size,
art of building huts. They shelter themselves
caves and. ..crevices of the earth: when these
are wanting, they make artificial SEQ; p ngs on
the surface, which line with leaves and cover
with branches.
The Hottentets and Bushmen are the avowed
euemes of the Esrthmen aud when they moet
them will shoot them do wn like vermn, The
boor little defenceless Esrihmen have no refu-
ge but in holes, trees, or thickets, and the tribe
is fast verging to extinction. They are poor
weak people-ore of Natures freaks-1nd des-
tined not to perpetuate their race. Few col
onists have seen them; and although it is known
that few set linger in the mountains, these
are rapidly dying away, and will soon become
tradition of an elvish afIite race of old.
The two individuals above mentioned were
carried to England from the Cape of Good Hope
two or three years ago, and have now become
domesticated in an English family the Nor
ming Chronicle, from which we take these par
ticulaas, describes these little Easrthmen as
boy aud girl, the former fourteen and the latter
sixteen years of age, and" complete little fac,
res" i'll appearance. The boy is three feet
three and half inches in height the girl triflo
taller. Their skin is of the brightest and most
transparent bronze, and as smooth and polished
as marble. In form the little creatures are
perfect--their delicate limbs standing ont in
tho most graceful symmetry, and every motion
instinct with the untaught ease Of nature
The faces although decidedly African in fea-
ture, are full Of sweetness and good humor,
with an expression of archness and intellige-
nee.
They are named Martins and Flora. In
their savage state they lon locust, and eggs,
and such small game as they could take. Till
they were carried to England, they had no
ideas of God or any supreme power. At pres
ent they have been taught some OF the the Gus
toms of civilized life, aud are able TO speak little
Eng lsh words, TO sing little English popular
airs, and-the first of Earihnien-to play little
airs on the piano.
Few sights are more interesting to think.
human beings on the point of being blotted
out from the face ofthe earth. Tho individu.
asin question seem to constitute one Of the
most anomalous forms Of our species that has
ever yet been brought to tho notice OF the
naturalist or The ethnO'ogist. 1t is TO be hoped
that luther light will be thrown on their his
tory by scientific researches.

that poor sinner was doomed7to commit one

he would fall into. The first sin was murder:
tho second, which we cannot remember, was
something very bad; and he third was to get
drunk. The poor sinner, left to his own weak.

character of the two other crimes offered to
him, perhaps being to his taste not wholly OBJ
