How OLD Is THE RACE?-How
long has man-the great crowning work
Of the creation--been upon the earth ?
/ Here we are lost. The discoveries in
Switzerland 90 to show that two or three
races pre-historical, pre-Adamite, b I'd
lived in wooden cities built on piles ex-
tending into the lakes of that country
They could be traced by the instruments
they used. One bad instruments of
a second of bronze and third Of iron.
In other places, as in the region of Am
lens in France, implements Of stone,
fashioned by human hands, have been
found in beds of gravel, under chalk for
nations, where vast ages must have been
required for the soil to collect above
them. In the Pyrenees, ais o human
bones have been found with the bones of
animals extinct before history began
The same has been in this country. Ar
row heads of flint have been found with
The remains of mammoth animals such
as have not been since man began a re-
cord of events. In Kentucky, in 1883,
the remains of an extinct animal were
disentombed, as large as an elephant,
that had been mired and destroyed by
human beings. The whole were nine
feet below the surface. There was found
a layer of charcoal six TO twelve inches
thick, arrow heads, tomahawks and pie
ces of rock. The fore and hind feet
were standing in a perpendicular posi-
ton, and likewise the full length of the
leg below the ashes, so deep in the mud
and water that the fire which had clearly
been kindled to destroy the animal, had
no effect on them. Prof, Agassiz has the
humus of a man, found imbedded in
coral reef on the Florida coast, which he |
considers, we believe, hundred and fifty
years old. He defends this
view as quite consistent with Scripture,
as Gen. /, 27-23, describes in his view,
the first creation of several individuals,
male and female, to stock the earth at
much earlier period than Gen. il, Z, when
Adam and his wife, the last creation,
were formed. AT least, he considers the
language Of Scripture as sustaining his
view Of distinct races being created

there, in keeping our army IN swsmps Of
the Ohickahominy until the enemy found
opportunity 10 attack and defeat it, was
proof that the command should pass into
other hands. The President, though
shaken, resisted the opportunities then
made to supplant the General. The bat
tie of Antietam restored bis confidence,
though painfully disappointed in The fail

by sending forward his reserve, when
Burnside repeatedly urged 1t after car

only the aid Of reserve veterans to crush
the enemy's rear guard, pressed forward

pursuit on Lees demoralized army i'm

1t requires so much more self'relance

farmer, any business to remain in Ohio !!
Can he, with a thousand dollar start, turn

A New Internal Machine.

Gen. Allen has received from ST. Louis
an Internal machine, which, from its in
genious construction and destructiblt
power, is calculated to do much damage
To the outward eye the machine is simp
ly common hand yalise, such one as
may be found in the possession Of any
traveller who carries no more than sin
gle change of clothing in bis wanderings
Opening the valise, in one side a com
mon eight,day clock without hands. is
exposed TO view. 1t is curiously embed
ed in rims stuffed with tow SO as to smoth-
er the sound of the working of the deli
cate machinery. Around the rim, tow
saturated with strong combustible fluids
| is closely packed. The second half Of
the valise contains nothing but this same
Icombustible material. A tube of powder
connecting a vessel of fluid, is firmly at
tached to one of the rims. A trigger
igniting a match, is connected with the
tube. The clock is wound up, and set
to run down and explode the combusti-
bles at any distinguished hour between
one and twelve. The valise is closed,
and the timepiece occupies the center Of
the contents inside. At the designated
moment string attached TO the trigger
is pulled by the rebound of a spring, the
match ignites, an explosion ensues, and a
sheet of flame is scattered for yards
around. The combustibles burn with
great fury and power, and nothing but
an application of sand can smother the
flames.
The machine in possession of Gen.
Allen was placed in the Government
building at St. Louis by some scoundrel
expecting to ensure its destruction. For
tunately the explosion attracted squad
of soldiers, who with great difficulty sue
ceeded in extinguishing The flames before
much damage 6ad beed done. The in.
vention is the most dangerous that has
yet been brought to light. There is no
doubt that the disastrous fires that recent
ly occurred in our city were caused
through this destructive agency. Its out.
ward appearance is such as TO excite no
suspicion, aud may safely be carried by
any traveller. The simple setting of i'll
in building, with machinery in running
order, may cause an explosion and con-
hagration in the most unsupported quar-.
ters, and at the most quiet hour of night.
There is scarcely any sure way to guard
against accidents by this internal contri,
vance. ce.--LouisviNe Journal.

How ABOUT THE GoTHs.-"Goths
and Vandals" is good stock phrase for
savages, barbarians, wanton destroyers.
Mr.. Mayard improved upon the formula
by coupling the Turanian Hun with the
Aryan Goth, while Lord Palmerston
went further afeld and brought in Jesuits
from one quarter and Saracens from an
other. Now, all this talkabout Goths
shows utter ignorance of the history on
which the allusion is founded We can
not let the Vandals off so lightly, as Gen
seric certainly did good deal of damage,
but it would certainly be hardly too much
to say that there is no evidence that any
Goth ever destroyed anything, Alaric
plundered Rome; but he did not destroy.
The great Theodoric was the preserver
and restorer of all the monuments of
Rome. The Goths had no possible temp
tation TO destroy the Roman buildings !;
on the contrary, they admired, preserv-
ed, and did their best to initiate them
The mischief which ignorance attributes
to the Goths was really done by Italian
barons and papal pephews at various
times from the tenth century to the sew
enteenth. So when a man talks of Goth.
ic barbarism to display his aptness at
historical allusiop, what be really does
display is his aptness at historical blum

that at home in the great North there

not where their dear ones sleep, I felt
that an hour could not be better spent
