WILD MEN OF gORNEO,

Toward the North are to be found men
living absolutel in state of nature; who
neither cultivate the ground nor live in huts !;
who neither eat rice nor salt, and who do not
associate with each other, but rove about some
woods like wild beasts. The sexes meet in
the jungles, or the man carries away woman
from company. When the children are old
enough to shift for themselves, they usually
scperate, neither one afterwards thinking Of
the other. At night they sleep under some
large tree, the branches of which hang low.
On them they fasten the children in kind of
swing. Around the tree they make fire to
keep off the wild beasts and snakes. They
cover themselves with piece of bark, and
in this, also, they wrap their children. 1t is
soft and warm, but will not keep out the rain.
These poor creatures are looked upon and
treated by the Dayaks as wild beasts. Hunt
ing parties of twenty-five or thirty 60 out and
amuse themselves by shooting at the childre !
in the trees with the sumpit, the same as
monkeys, from which they are not easily dis
tinguished The men taken in these excur-
sions are invariable killed, and the women
commonly spared, if they arc young. 1t is
somewhat remarkable that the children Of
these wild people will not be sufficiently tanned
to be intrusted with their liberty. Solgie
told me he never leccollected an instance
when they did not escape the first opportunity,
Notwithstanding many of them have been
treated kindly for years. The consequence
is, all the chiefs who call themselves civilized,
no sooner take them than they cut off the foot,
sticking the stump into bamboo of molten
damar; their escaps is thus prevented, and
their services in padding cannoes retained.
An old Dayak loves to dwell Upon his success
on these hunting excursions; and the terror of
the women and children when taken, affords a
frightful theme OF amusement at all their
meetings.
The following additional information is,
however, somewhat unexpected. After speak
ing of the excellence Of the iron and steel of
the interior of Borneo, and of the extent of
its manufacture among the Dayak tribes, Dali
ton continues: "These men whom | have
noticed living in state of nature, building
no habtations of any kind, and eating moth
ing but fruits, snakes, and monkeys. yet pro.
cure this excellent iron, and make blades
sought after by every Dayak, who, in their
hunting excursions, have in view the posses
sion of the poor creatures spear, or mandon,
as mucn as his head, improbable as it may
appear"

subsequently married Aaron Burr, somew he
about the year 1885, but they, too, soon sep
Grated. After his death, she continued to
live in seclusion at her stately residence on
this island, with the exception Of occasional
visits to Paris.
She was there soon after Louis Napoleon
became Emperor, and was OF the Tuilleries on
the occasion of grand ball. where the EN-
peror recognized her as the widow OF his old
friend, (which one tradition does not state
A friend of mine visited Madame Jumel a
few years ago, and this has brought freshly to
my recollection the romantic incidents OF
her cheauered career. Her residence is dis
cribed as an earthly paradise minus the angels.
Everything that art can achieve, or taste
desire, or money procure, may be found there.
Costly paintings, (and among them genuine
Rubens.) articles of vertu, presents from noble
and distinguished persons, autographs and
everything that is considered rare, and costly,
and curious, may be seen there in lavish pro-
fusion.
Madame Jumel lives the life of recluse
She knows nothing of, and will have nothing
to do with her neighbours around Fort Wash
ington, with very few exceptions. Ever
the boys have judicious fear of her, and
trouble neither her orchards nor her flower
gardens, not anything that is hers.
Every evening gun is fired off on hel
premises to warn intruders. Very few per
sons ever solicit permission to visit her grounds
and only favored minority of these evel
have their petition granted.
This old lady now seventy eight years o
age, has one penchant, and that is for gather
ing around her refugees from Europe. Sh'

with which he is most familiar, aud in this

formances.
Madame Jumel from having mingled sc
much in the best kind of society, has all the
courtly graces and blandness of manner which
distinguished les danes d Honour of the las
century. To society and the world generally
she bears herself very haughtily, forbidine
anything like approaches to familiarity. Sh'
is as much despot III her own dominions al
any monarch who sways sceptre. She like
her mode of living, has wealth enough, ha
seen the world, outlived the desires of life
and will consequently never again emerg
from the quiet enclosure of her elegant resi-
dence. She has beautiful niece living il
Bordeaux, who is married and to whom he
property will most likely descend.

A SHREwD DEvIL.--In Afrhanistan

A SHREwD DEv1L.--In Afghanistan,
coutry Astounding in legends. there is
one to the effect that Satan entered into
compact with the people, to teach them to
cultivate the earth and bring forth its fruits,
the produce to be divided between them. The
bargain being made, and the coil prepared by
the labor OF the people, Satan produced bis
seed, which in due course came up, as carrots.
turnips, and other Vegetables, the value Of
which lies beneath the ground. When the
division took place the people in their iguo-
rance took that which was above the surface.
In time they discovered their mistake and
loudly complained of their loss. Upon which
Satan. with bland smile, told them that il
should be different next year. And so it was.
The people we're to take all the produce that
was beneath the SOIL This time the devil had
sown wheat, and barley and other grain, whose
fruit is above the surface. So the people,
twice tricked, got nothing but the useless roots.

his presence would have been considerably
annoying to boys in swimming.
1t is advisable that the bones which are in
the possession of various individuals should
be collected together in one place, and an at
tempt made under the direction of some COM
petent naturalist to reconstruct the whole
animal. The separate bones are of no value
to anybody.
The skeleton Of the animal entire would be
sight to see. All those having fragments
of this huge antcdiluvian should hand them
over for this purpose.
The deposit in which these remains are
found is black clay, above which mari is seen.
The investigation is still goingon. The bones
are in an excellent state Of preservation. In
deed, what seems to be the marrow is found
in many Of them, and one lump of clear mar
row weighing some two pounds and prcserv-
ing the impression of the bone which contain
ed it has been found, and may be Seen at DR..

That these bones belonged to some animal
whose race is now extinct, is clear. Thou.
sands of years before man Inhabited the planet
these animals bestrode the earth or numbered
with their forms the sea. They conform to
none of the shapes of animated nature as now
seen, and are more like the shapes in some
distempered dream than anything that now
has existence.
The deposit in which these remains are
found, is a soft, carboniferous clay or mud, il
doubtless of great antiquity, long antedatine
the coal formation, and many Of the upper
strata. "The waters of the ocean," says Sir
Charles Lyell, "were rolling over the highest
peaks of the Alps when the marine mud OF

the labor of man. May it not be from TINS
circumstance that the Indians have given them
the name Of " the white mans fly" and that
they CONSIDER their approach Tor frequent
appearance) as indicating the approach OF the
settlement of the whites 2"
The first European settlement in Virginia
was made about seventy years after the expe-
dition of Soto, in Florida, and the first set
Element in New England was ten years poste-
rior to that in Virginia. The large interme'
date country was uncutivated for long time
country was uncultivated for long time
afterward- The southern bees therefore could
have no inducement to extend themselves very
far to the northward, for many years after the
settlements wer. begun; and within that time
bees were imported from Europe.
That honey and wax we're not known to
the Indians of New England is evident from
this, that they had no words in their Language
for them. When Mr.. Elliot translated the
Bible into Indian language, wherever these
terms occurred, he used the English words
though sometimes with an Indian termination
Josselyn, who visited New England first ii
1888 and afterwards in 1868, and wrote ar
account of his voyages with some sketches Of
natural history in 1878, speaks Of the honey
bee in these words, The honey bees are car
ried over by the English, and thrive there
exceedingly"
There is tradition in New England, tha
the person who first brought hive Of bee
into the country was rewarded with a gran
of land but the persons name, or the place
where the land lay, or by whom the grant was
made have not been able to learn.
1t appears then; that the honey bee is 1
native Of America, and that its production
were found by the first European visitors al
far northward as Florida and Georgia. 1t il
also true that bees were imported from Eu
rope into New England, and probably int
Virginia but whether, if this importation
had not taken place. the bees of the southern
parts would have extended themselves north
erly, or whether those which we now have ar
not mixture of native and imported bees
cannot be determined. 1t is however certain
that they have multiplied exceedingly, ant
that they are frequently found in New Eng
land, in wild state in the trunks of hooy
trees, as far northward as cultivation an,
settlements have extended. which is nearl
to the forty-ftth degree Of latitude.
| have made inquiry of several person
from Canada; but have not learned that bee
were known during their residence in tina
country. 1t is however not improbable tina
as cultivation extends, the bees may find thei
way to the northward of the lakes and river
of Canada, even though none should be trans
ported thither by the Inhabitants eiknal

A GEOLOGICAL DISCOVERY.

Last Saturday, in the excavation of the
bank at benefits Cove, in Bangor. on the
surface of which was the old burying-grouud,
the workmen turned up variety of bones of
an animal whose race is now extinct, of huge
dimensions, and undoubtedly of the Saurian
tribe /t
The first discovery consisted of vertebr@
of various sizes, from one foot to two inches
in breadth, and of series varying not more
than a half inch in diameter. These resem-
BILE in shape and appearance the sal-blocks Of
vessels, being of similar shape, and each per.
forated with two holes, and each provided with
a cap, like the knee-pan, for either side of the
bone, fitting perfectly and with many indedta-
tions. A number of these vertebre have been
found, and are in the possession OF various
individuals. Several of them may be seen
at the store Of L. &. Z. W. Gordon on Maine
street. DR.. Mason has several others in his
possession, and other individuals have one or
more each.
Hearing of this discovery, DR.. A. G. Ham,
lin set to work excavating the deposit of clay
in which they were found, and has succeeded
in bringing to light the entire bones of one
leg, and various other bones which may be seen
at his office. Among these is part of the
pelvis, or perhaps the ossa innominata, whose
largest breadth is nearly two feet, and the
series of bones in the leg make the entire
length of that limb not less than ten feet. If
this animal can be assimilated to the remains
of the megalosaurus or the plesiosaurus found
in other localities, the whole length of the
animal would reach fifty feet, with height
of not less than fourteen feet.
Of the teeth not enough has yet been dis
covered to determine whether the animal was
carnivorous or only graminiverous- If pre-
daceous, be must have been an ugly customer
to meet Of morning, and if ichthyosaurisn,

New YoRK, Tuesday
In Lossing's Field Book of the Revolution
there is picture of a house on this Island
that was erected one hundred and fifteen years
ago, and which was at one time the head
quarters of Gen. Washington. 1t is situated
near the High Bridge, over the Harlem river,
and though really within the city limits, is
surrounded by forests and dels, giving it a
rural and wild aspect. The grounds are beau
tifully improved, the gardens laid out with
taste, and everything around the establish.
ment bears the marks OIL refinement and wealth.
On this historical spot lives a venerable
woman, whose history has been varied as the
changes in her country's progress have been
rapid. Madame Jumel is native of Provi-
dencc, Rhode Island. Her maiden name was
Miss Bowen. She came to this city about
the year 1898, and in 1915 was married to
Monsieur Jumel native of France, but then
refugee from the bloody massacre of St.
Domingo. They did not live long toge,h~
from incompatibility Of temper, or some other
cause. He soon afterwards died, leaving her
three millions Of francs in France.
She frequently visited Paris, always living

South Of Europe for experiment in the South.
1t grows in the form shrub of middle size,
bearing red oval fruit about as large as
olives, inclosing stone Of the same shape.
They are sweet, but only eaten among us in
the form of paste. In A!giers, the fruit ripens
in the month of June, and is much sought
