THE MAMMOTH FOSSILS OF RUSSIA.
late number of thu 81 Iamaa Manazina Ia

A lste number Of the St. James Magazine has
the following:
"Tilesius declares his belief that mammoth
skeletons still left In Northern Russia exceed in
number all the elephants now existing upon the
globe. Doubtless the process of mammoth ex.
tinction was very gradual, and extended over an
enormous space Of time. This Circumstance Is in
dicated by the varying condition in which the
tusks and teeth are found. Whereas the gelatine,
or soft animal matter, Of many specimens remains,
imparting one of the characteristics necessary to
the being of ivory, other specimens have lost this
material, and mineral substances infltratiBg, have
taken its place. The gem turquoise is pretty gen.
orally conceded to be nothing else than the fossil.
lied tooth of scme extinct animsl-probably tho
mammoth.
Curiosity Of speculation prompts the mind to
imagine to itse'f the time when the last of these
gigantic animals slccumbed to influences that
were finally destined to sweep them all from the
earth. Had men come UPON the scene when they
roamed their native wildsl Were those wilds the
same as now as to climate and vegetable growthsl
Testimony is mute. Time silently unveils the Sc.
pulchred remains, leaving fancy to expstiste as
she will on topic wholly beyond the scope Of
mortal intelligence"

More and More Desirable.
The Rebellion is suppressed and the Govern.
ment has already adopted measures to reduce ex.
penditures as rapidly as possible to peace foot
ing, thus Withdrawing from market as borrower
and purchaser.
This is the ONLY LOAN IN MARKET now offered
by the Government, and constitutes the GREAT
POPULAR LOAN OF THE PEOPLE.
The Seven-Thrty Notes are convertible on their
maturity at the option of the holder, into
u. y. $40 Six per cent.
GOLD-REARING BONDS.
Which are always worth premium.
Free from Taxation.
The $50 Notes cannot be taxed by Towns, Ci-
ties, Counties or Slater, and the interest is not
taxed unless on a surplus of the owners income
exceeding six hundred dollars year. This fact
increases their value fIom one TO three per cent.
per annum, according to the rate levied on other
property.
Subscribe Quickly.
Less than 100000, 600 OF the Loan authorized
by the last Congress are now on the market. This
amount, at the rate at which it is being absorbed,
will all be subscribed for within two months
when the notes will undoubtedly command pre-
MUM, as has uniformly been the case on closing
the subscriptions to other Losns. 1t now seems
probable that no considerable amount beyond the
present series will be offered to the public.
In order that citizens Of every town and section
of the country may be afforded facilities for ta-
king the loan, the National Banks, State Banks
and Private Bankers throughout the country have
generally agreed to receive subscriptions at par.
Subscribers will select their own agents, in whom
they have confidence, and who only are to be re.
sponsble for the delivery of the notes for which
they receive orders.
