How LONG HAS MAN EXISTED ?--The Swiss
savans are now engaged in a discussion con-
ccrning the extent Of the period during which
the human species has existed From the
fact that human bones have been found with
those of animals now extinct, and from other
circumstances, they generally agree in en-
tending this period to time much more re-
mote than that which naturalists have usual
ly assigned its beginning. Mr.. Gollomh
admits that man had an existence before the
oldest glaciers, and was a cotemporary of the
mammoth. NJ. Lastcst seeks to prove that
great portion of the animal world, including
man, survived all the changes of the quatcr-
nary or diluvian period. NJ. Gandin, a noted
botanist subscHbes to this view and strcgth-
ems it by comparison with the vegetable
world. NJ. Picket asserts that the geological
population of the globes was not modified in

period.

his escape. On a statement of the facts to
Chiel Burke he caused Carr to be apprehen

fined 500 or twenty-five days in prison, for

splendid cane, was recently accosted 10y
beggar on crutches, who received silver
coin. AT the same moment person near by
exclaimed: GLOW can you, sir, allow this
rogue to deceive you? Please to lend me
your cane, and will show you that the ras-
cal can run better than you can The dan
dy, without rejecting, lent his cane. The
beggar, the moment he saw it in the detec-
tors hands, threw away his crutches and
took to his heels, and was followed 10y the
man with the cane, while the spectators, and
the dandy in particular, remained in convul-
sions OF laughter at the sight. and eXclaiming
alternately "Oh, Ire will be caught ~ The
dandy did not console himself for the loss OF
his cane by taking the crutches.
