The publication of the new paper
in New York, The World, has not ex-

competitors for public favor. Thus
far its various departments have not
presented anything strikingly original,

its editorials have been rather tame.

The New York correspondent of the

the following extract of a letter from
q gentleman residing at Havana, who
went out in the Moses Taylor with
Isaac V. Fowler. It.conclusi7ely es-
tablishes The whereabouts Of that gen

ma, June Sd:
We had only three ladies on board
and six gentlemen, and among the lat
ter was the late Postmaster, Mr.. Fowler
Of New York. He called himself,
while on board, 'Mr. Potts. and ap.
peared quite sociable. After arriving
at Havana, he called on Mr.. Helm,
our consul, told him who be was, and
asked him if be should inform me-
He also informed me that Mr.. Helm
and myself were the only two persons
in Cuba who knew who he vas but
at this present writing many persons
knew him and all about the affair. I
should have said that he came on
board the Moses Taylor, at Sandy
Hook, from q steam-tug, he having
left the city the night previous. What
bis future intentions are I do not
know" This, of course, puts sc rest
the rnmors recently put in circulation,
that Mr. Fowler had never left New

A JAW BONE THREE FEET LONG,
The Indiana State Sentinel of the 18th,
says Of an immense jaw bone recently
found in the bed Of the Shawnee
creek
"The bone, as we before remarked,
was found in the bed of the Shawnee
creek. One Of the teeth was observed
sticking above the surface Of the
gravel by boy, who dug il out and
took it 60 DR.. Marsh, Of Attica, who
purchased it Of him. The Doctor
forwarded It TO his brother-in-law, At
torney General Mcdonald, in whose
Office it now is. Tt is evidently a
section Of the jaw (inferior maxillary).
It seems to have been broken off near
the symphisis mentor, or chin. Near
the broken end is q assure in the bone,
apparently the socket Of q tusk. The
length Of the bone is SO inches, 81
inches wide, by about the same depth
OF the point where the teeth are set,
decreasing in volume both ways. There
are two teeth, loose in the sockets, the
first 9 inches long by Il wide. The
enamel upon the teeth is perfect, and
their acuteness conveys the impression
that the subject was quite young
The bone, unquestionably, belongs to
the mastodon family--a calf at that,
and were it living to-day would surely
take the premium at our State Fair. .

A New Orleans paper tells a story

A New Orleans paper tells a story
which may not be true. but which is
certainly not improbable. A New
York school girl thought it would be
an excellent joke to advertise in a
city paper FOR husband; she did so,
and, Of course, received replies. The
writer Of one Of these, who pretended
to be the son Of rich parents at the
South, made her acquaintance without
the knowledge OF her family, and
finally induced her to elope with him,
promising to marry her st Cincinnati.
OF course he did not fulfil this prom
ise, and, Of course the silly girl was
ruined. She was then left alone in
New Orleans. She was driven by her
despair to attempt suicide, but was
prevented from accomplishing the de-
sign. A volume Of such stories, how
ever, would not keep some school
girls from indulgence in anonymous
flirtations

POSTMASTER BOWLER hEPOhTED
TO BE AT PIKE's PEAK.--ST. JOSEPH,
Mo-, June al.-Adyices from Denver
CITY to the 9th inst, say that Mr..
Fowler. the defaulting New York
postmaster, was reported to have been
seen at Pixies Peak.
The features Of The statement re-
csrding the recognition Of Mr.. Fowler
are as follows, derived from private
letter:
An individual, whose dress and
general appearance denoted city
style, and who was evidently anxious
to shun particular notice, recently
registered his name as Achilla DFance
at the hotel He passed unidentified
until one dag, on his way TO the quartz
claims he had purchased. he came TO
a small village in The mountains, and
stepped into the recorders Office,
where he was at once recognized by
an old resident Of New York, who ex-
claimed, GOOD God ! Fowler where
did you come from 2"
ORANGE staggered back. With p
flushed face. Then turning pale, he
replied with Armnesg. " Sir, you are
mistaken. Ny name is not Fowler"
Well, If you are not Fowler with
his whiskers off, the other replied
"you are his twin brother or the dew
H."
ORANGE seemingly much embarrassed,
and endeavoring TO evade the diaelos-
ure, asked if the recorder MAS pres
emf.
But his tormeitor, not willing TO
give him up, drew him to another
part Of the room, and said
st know what I say. You are
Isaac Y. Fowler, of New York. You
have had your hair cut of, your whis-
kers shaved of, and are disguised by
your spectacles ; bnt should know
you anywhere
At first France assumed q firm and
indifferent appearance, but he soon
gave way to his feelings, and exclaim-
ed
For God Almighty's sake, don't
expose me I"
Mr.. Fowler was deeply affected at
first, but gradually resumed his cheer.
fulness. Being within reach Of the
Government he thought it best to
leave Immediately for Salt Lake and
California, mentioning Australia as
his probable destination. He fed at
once.
Mr.. Fowler, on the first night of
his arrival at Denver City, is said to
hare entered a gambling saloon and
won $4,000. He then bet the whole
amount on one game, but the dealer
refused to risk it. Without making
any comment, he took up his winnings
and went to the bar-room, took o gin
cocktail and left. This created inqui-
~ as to who he was, but his fictitious
name arrested further notice.
He is reported to have speculated
largely in claims.
The above statement is considered
reliable here by those acquainted with
the correspondent.
