The MONKEY THAT COMES NEAREST TO MAN
At late meeting of the Academy of Sci
ences. NJ. Geoffroy ST. Hilaire presented a
printed essay Of his on the kinds of monkeys
approaching nearest to the human type. In
this essay he established the fact that the Go
rilla is distinct genus, and not . species Of
the Troglodyte (Chipanzeel genus; the latter
being nearer to the human type than the for
mer IN many respects, besides being vitherto
the only monkey known having fattened nails
like man, and only eight bones at the csrpus
or wrist. The Gorilla however goes further
in this respect, for i. not only has both the
above peculiarities. but also another equally
characteristic of the human rsce. namely .
broad palm. 1t is, moreover, the most gigan-
tic Of all monkeys. and in habits the western
coast of Africa north and south OF the equator.
The negroes call it Jina or y iJina it nhab-
its the forests, and lives upon reeds, and fruit
and leaves of various plants. The huis the
GoriIas build for themselves are mnch more
cIumsly made than those oil the Chimpahzees
These two races do not mix together, and the
Gorilla is by far the stronger Of the two.

GRIZZLIES ARoUND.-The recent snow storm
in the mountains has driven these ferocious
monsters down into the warmer atmosphere OF
the valleys, and those who have occasion to
travel through the woods will do well to keep
sharp look out for them. On Sunday last,
while man named Mead was out hunting, on
the old Carson Valley read, he came suddenly
upon large grizzly, and being good marks
man, concluded to shoot the bear through the
neck and kill it as he had frequently served
others Accordingly he blazed away. and sup
posing he had accomplished bis purpose, pro-
ceeded into the bushes in search of his game.
Like the fellow who went after the Know
Nothings, he found Ursa Major, but to his sur
prise, the beast was only wounded. and mad
ened with pain, instantly sprang upon his per-
secutor The hunter concluded to try the old
game of feigning dead, and fell upon his face,
but the mad bear was not to be deceived in
that way, but Immediately began to chew up
his man with savage ferocity, For wonder,
Mead was not killed outright, but escaped with
his life, ard on Monday last was brought to the
County Hospital most shockingy mangled
Last Tuesday, near Sly Park, in this county,
another man, whose name we have not learned
was attacked by grizzly and subsequently
found dead and torn to pieces. As an evidence
of the terrible ferocity of the grizzly, the body
Of the man was completely severed into three
pieces.-Mountdan Democrat.

A NArURALIzED CHIsANAS.--The S. F..
Call says: Among the Chinese 10 attendance
at the Police Court recently, we noticed the
venerable Nipson. In his early days he was
servant of the Emperor Napoleon at St.
Helena, and on his death he came to the Uni
ted States, settled in Charleston, South Caro-
lima, where he married an American wife, be-
came an American citizen. and entered into
mercantile business. When the gold fever
broke out and large number of Chinese
hocked to this State. Nip-son left affairs at
Charleston in the custody o. a grown son, and
came to this city. From this port he re-vlsi-
ted China. after nearly forty years absence,
and was arrested for appearing in European
costume 1t vas only on his donning the Ce-
lestial habits and cue that he was relieved from
the odium Of outside barbarism, and he once
more trod the streets of Canton native to the
manor born" Since then, We believe, he has
resided in this city in the quiet pursuance Of
his business, and has relapsed into the regular
habits Of his people. He is an intelligent man,

In getting to California we made the Jour-

along the valley of the Humboldt, distance "

no animal will feed unless it is absolutely ne

sedge, and sometimes IN patches entirely apart
from it, is seen still coarser product. resem-
bling .breom-corn in its growth, though not SO
rank or thick in the stock as broom-corn grows
with us. 1t was noticed tha. whenever our
animals strayed within reach Of this product,
they invariably commenced feeding greedily
upon it. preferring it even to the finer grasses
OF the higher grounds. Here too, we found
small band of Pah Utahs, cutting and bundling
the same product-after stripping it Of lis
leaves-and having loaded themselves to their
utmost strength, started for a wooded ravine
in the mountains full four miles distant to the
east.
The product is simply variety of sugar
cane indigenous to that locality, and well
known to the Indians of the interior, and from
which they make with their own rude means
very far article of syrup. John Xix, ESQ.,,
United States Road Commissioner, in his sur
vey of the route from Honey Lake to City
Rocks near Salt Lake, also speaks of variety
Of wild sugar cane, as growing upon the lower
section of the Humboldt. upon which animals
eagerly feed and from which the Indians of
the country manufacture a sirup. The same
plant also grows in proiuson upon the borders
of the sinks of both the Carson and Walkers
Rivers.
Now il this product, be it what it may,
growing wild, WILL by the use of the rudest of
all rude appliances for its cxtraction-pound-
ing IN stone mortars-yied juice so easily
convertible into sirup that the very lowest in
the scale of human beings can effect it. may it
not be u product that with proper cultivation
would prove valuable addition to our list of
sccharine producing plants? As the plant
1ourishes in soils tuleproducing and highly
alkaline, are we not sale in believing that there
are vast tracts Of land admirably adapted to
its growth, and wholly unfit for any other as
useful product, within the borders of our State?
So well satisfied are we from repeated hastings
of the cane of its highly sacharne quality, and
its usefulness as cultivated product, if only
for purposes of stock feeding, around the bor-
dcrs of our iule and marsh lands, that we have
made arrangements to secure it, introduction,
either by seeds or rooted plants, as early as

BIC BRrSDLK-In Nashville, many years
ago there resided gentleman of great hospi-
talIty, large fortune, aud though uneducated,
possessed OF hard-knot sense. Col. W. had
been elected to the Legislature. and had also
been Judge OF the county court. His eleva-
tion, however, had made him somewhat pomp-
Gus, and he became very loud in using big
words. On his farm he had large mischiev-
Gus OK, called big Brinde," which frequent
ly broke down his neighbors' fences, and CON-
mitted other depredations, much to the Colo
nel's annoyance. One morning after breakfast
in presence OF some gentlemen who had stay
ed with him overnight, and who were now on
their way to town, he called his overscer and
said TO him:
"Mr Allen, desire you TO impound Big
Brindle in order that | may hear no more an
imadversation Of his eternal depredations."
Allen bowed and walked off, sorely puzzled
to know what the Colonel meant So after
Colonel w. left for town, he went to his wife
and asked her what Colonel w meant by tell
ing him to ''impound" the OK?
"Why," said she, 'the Colonel means to tell
you to put him in pen."
Allen left to perform the feat, for it was no
nconsiderable one, as the animal was very
wild and vicious. and after a great deal OF
trouble and vexation he succeeded.
well" said he, wiping the perspiration
from his brow and soliloquising, "this is i'm
pounding is it Now l am dead sure the old
Colonel will ask me if impounded Big Brin-
die, and Ill bet III puzzle him as bad as he
did me-
The next day the Colonel gave a dinner
party, and, as he was not aristOcratc, Allen,
the overseer, sat down with the company. AZ
Ter the second or third glass was discussed, the
Colonel turned to the overseer and said:
"Eh, Mr. Allen, did you impound Big Brin-

ALLEN Strengthened himself up. ana looking
around on the company, said
ayes did /; but old 'Brindle' ,ranscended
the impanel of the impound, and scatterlophis-
ticated all over the equanimity of the forest
The company burst into an immoderate fit
of laughter, while the Colonel's face redeemed
with discontinue.
''What do you mean by that. sir?" said be.
why l mean, Colonel" said Allen, that
old 'Brindle,' being progposticated with an idea
Of the cbolery, ripped and tared, snorted and
paved dirt, jumped the fence, tuck to the
woods, and would not be impounded no how"
This was too much, the company roared
again, in which the Colonel was forced to join,
and in the midst Of the laughter, Allen left the
table, saying to himself as he went
Il recken the Colonel won't ask me to i'm

DoueLAs.-Every body here as well as else
where, wants TO know how the Little Giant is
making it 60 against the FIRE of his ancient foes
and the money of his late friends. Let US say
to the thousands Of Douglas friends who read
our paper that he is whaling the whole of them
in style that is beautiful to behold. Crowds
of FIVE to ten thousand meet to hear him and
the shouts of applause are Indicative of hold
in the popular heart that cannot be shaken.
The Chicago Times publishes the match
speeches of Douglas and Lincoln in full and to
read them makes one sorry that abe" ever
left his Grocery for the field Of debate. Lin
coin has "mixed liquors" good deal in bis
business, but the mix" he has made of politics
has well nigh nauseated his warmest suppor-
ters
To carry the Illinois Senate. Douglas has to
get eight Senators and Lincoln twelve. A
we'll informed Republican from Chicago tells
US "that no man can beat Douglas in Illinois,
and We believe it-Nortk Iosoo Times.
