ANTEDILUVIAN REMAINS.

MEssRs. EDITORs A fact has lately
come to light in our midst, which
though it may be of no practical use
to any one, may yet be subject of
some interest to your readers, particu-
larly to the student of the physical
sciences,-the existence in our vicini-
ty of the fossil remains of the Man,
moth, an animal of the Elephant spe-
cies and probably extinct long before
the creation of man.
A portion of skeleton of this
monster of the antediluvian world +"
was discovered on Saturday last near
the residence of DR.. Carpenter of Blue
Grass, imbedded in yellow clay and
lying about ten feet below the surface
of the ground.
This is not however its first discov-
cry. In lS44, in the same locality the
tusks were found, and it is said were
elevenfeet length by actual measure
ment. Some of the molar teeth were
taken at the same time, and in almost
a perfect state of preservation, the en-
amcl being clearly discernible as in
the case Of the one lately discovered.
The teeth first found measured one
foot i'll length and were several inches
in breadth
From these data we may form some
idea of the structure of the animal
and its gigantic proportions !; and
when too we consider that it existed
5000 years ago, as geologists assert
before any history or record Of man,
and affords as it were a connecting
link between the present period and
the indefinite past, showing that the
same physical laws as now existed in
organic system long since extinct we
cannot but confess our interest in this
discovery.
That such huge monsters do not now
exist upon our planet excepting in the
fossil state we have reason to believe.
the why and wherefore of which fact
is not in our province to discuss. But
leave that for our sarans to do, aided
by their science, learning and expe,
rencc. We only present the simple
facts. Fl.
The tusks of the animal formerly
uncarthed in the same locality, were
fully the size mentioned, but they soon
crumbled to pieces on exposure to the
atmosphere. The largest of the mo-
lar teeth was about II inches in length.
1t was exhumcd in three pieces and
may now be seen in an "almost per-
feet state of preservation i'll our cab
met, where also may be seen some of
the bones, showing very perfectly their
osseous formation and the kind of clay
in which they We're imbedded for so
many ccnturies.-EDs.

THE PEMBINA TRADERS.

The annual arrival of these swarthy
sons OF the northwest is an event Of
no little Importance in the history of
st. Paul, and deserves a passing no.
tice at our hands. Some two or three
hundred teams are now encamped on
the bluff, near the st. Anthony road.
and many of our citizens have alreativ
paid them their accustomed visit.
They certainly present an interesting
feature of study for the stranger. and
with those who by a long residence
here have become familiar with their
mode of life, excite no less an interest,
and topic for conversation. The num-
Der OF teams coming down this year
amount in all to about six hundred.
thus leaving some three or four hun
dred teams now on their way, and
which will arrive here in the course of
few days.
Their furs alone do not constitute
the sole value of their visits here, for
besides these they bring down u con-
siderable amount of money, which
they obtain for furs sold to the Hud-
son Bay Company. In exchange for
this and their furs they obtain what
ever happens to strike their fancy.
from fish-hook to a barrel of whisky.
the latter predominating as a matter
of taste over everything else. The av-
erage of days travel is about twcn-
ty-five miles, and the distance is made
in about one month.
Their rudely constructed carts, the
peculiarities of the harness, and indeed
everything in any way connected with
these trains, forcibly recalls to mind
our ideas of primitive life, as we
imagine things used to be before the
age of invention. Coming as they
do distance of nearly eight hundred
miles, and that too in the hottest sea-
son of the year, it is not a little re-
markable how we'll their cattle appear
to stand the journey. They bring to
our city large amount of the most
valuable furs, which disposed of here,
soon find their way into the markets
east, where they are manufactured,
and again return to us in a new form.

THE VESUVIUS VOLCANO.

At last accounts the eruption of
Vesuvius, after few hours apparent
lull, continued with great activity
So far, however, not a single life has
been lost. There were seventeen
openings from which the burning lava
flowed. The following extracts from
correspondence of the London Times
show the character and progress of
the eruption
NAPLES, May 3l.-Since Saturday
the eruption has proceeded with con-
stantly-ncreasing violence, and has
presented at night more and more
magnificent spectacle. Last night at
about eight o'clock an immense tor
rent of lava broke over the ridge
which confines the basin of craters, in
the direction of the Somna it flowed
down the declivity of the Somna as
an immense torrent of liquid fire, and
with such extraordinary rapidity that
in less than an hour it had descended
through a considerable portion of the
mountain. Its progress was then re-
tarded partly by the diminished steep
ness of the ground, and partly by
transverse ravines which must be
filled before the fluid can ADVANCE
Nothing could exceed the splcndor of
this torrent of liquid fire, forming the
fourth principal stream of lava but
the most extraordinary burst of splen,
dor which has been presented since
the commencement of the eruption
took place soon after nine o'clock,
when all the mouths seemed to be
simultaneously called into violent
action, and to vomit forth such tor
rents of lava that the entire mountain
seemed one blaze of fire the varied
colors produced in different parts, ow
ing probably in part to reflection, pre-
sented beautiful and striking appear
ance. The lurid light ditfused from
this enormous burning mass rendered
visible the subjacent country, tn,
towns, the coast, and the bay
On each night, several thousands o
persons of all ranks, from the peer t,
the peasant, urged by curiosity, repai
to the scene of this extraordinary spec
taclc. The darkness being complete
and the route in many parts difficult
each party is furnished with a torch
and the view of these hundreds o
torches fitting about between the
streams of lava is most curious, pre-
senting the appearance of multltudei
of fire-hies.

The Voice of Nature.
ny JAMES q. PERCIyAI

JAMES PERcWAI-
A voice is heard in the winds and waves,
In the sound Of the ever rolling sea
'Tis whispered amid the gloom of graves,
And 1t speaks from hill top loud and free;
'Ts murmuring in every breath Of air,
And it pauses not when the leaves are still
Where the waters are tdIen, it prattlcs there.
Anh it whistles along the heathery hill
Upon the brown and brieTy step,
Where the brambles stir with the rus,ling bird
Down in the green and grassy deep,
Where the coral rustlcs, that voice Is heard
Far Il is borne the summers breeze
Ger sunny meadow and iowcry plain
And then 1t steals tu the glancing trees
And is lost in the 7hadowy gioom again.
Hark IT, wondering echoes wake,
They are now in the heart of the rifted rock
Now they lie in the slumbering lake,
Now they are at play with the bounding flock
Not withered Leaf hy the wind i stirred,
Not murmur moves through the bending corn t.,
But far that summoning voice is heard,
Like the loud, clear notes OF the winding horn
o It's the voice that comes from Heaven,
Borne like a spirit in light along
Now like the rush Of tempest driven
Murmuring in the charm of song.
Hear ye the vciccS Then come away
Far from the haunts Of ruder men--
Come where the leaves and fountains play,
You may love and be happy then

GROWING OLD.

"To grow old gracefully '-as one.
who truly has exemplificd her theory,
has written and expressed it's a
good and beautiful thing to grow
old worthily, a better. And the first
effort to that end is not only to recog-

ciled to the fact of youths departure
to see, or, if not seeing, to have faith
in, the wisdom Of that which we call
change, yet which is in truth progress
sion; to follow openly and fearlessly,
in ourselves and our own life, the
same law which makes spring pass
into summer, summer into autumn, au-
tumn into winter, preserving an es-
pecial beauty and fitness in each of the
four.
"Yes, if women could only believe
it, there is wonderful beauty even in
growing old. The charm of expression
arising from softcncd temper or ripened
intellect, often amply atones for the loss
of form and coloring; and, consequently.
to those who never could boast either
of these latter, years give much more

person often requires half lifetime

indifference both to its defects and
perfections-and to learn at last, what

HOW TO MAKE SUNSHINE.

Sunshine +! why we have plenty of
that every day" says dear little
friend at my side.
Yes, we certainly have plenty of it
outside of us, and it is the most beau
tiful thing in the world, because it
makes everything beautiful that it
looks upon. Did the little children
who read this paper ever think how
beautiful and how useful the sunlight
is ?-how it wraps the world in its
bright mantle, till the earth's old heart
grows warm and young again and
the grass and flowers spring forth p
how it wandcrs over all the world, in
to every nook and corner, with that
same pleasant smile, till all the ice
and suow melt away for very shame,
and hide themselves in the ground ?
how it glances in the trees, and
plays peep-boo" through the thick
branches, till the little birds twitter
and warble with delight i'll all their
leafy nests? And if the rough winds
try to get up disturbance, and pre-.
vail upon the clouds to make an insur-
rection against the suns dominion,
what does the good old sun do but
shine right on whether people can see
him or not,--and before many days
the angry clouds have vented their i'll
temper, and all is bright and beauti
full as ever
"But this is not telling us about
making sunshine" says some little
listener, and after all | don't see the
need of making it if we could"
No, surely, dear children, but it was
Of another sort of sunshine that
meant to tell you.
Did you know that God has given
to each one of you little world Of
your own, which you are to make as
bright, and beautiful, and happy, as
the great world is made by the sun
shine? Do you know what mean
your own heart is the sun, and YOU
home is the little world which you arc
to fill with happiness.
Do you suppose the sun ever sees
anything dark with that great brigh
eye of his? Why no for the mo
ment he looks at any thing, it grow.
bright, and nothing can be dark where
he is looking. Just so, if you always
carry heart full of sunshine witt
you, every thing will seem beautiful
and bright, But if your own hear
gets clouded with impatience or dis
content, you will find the pleasantes
place on earth very dark and disagree
