E.o.. the Times office, and the American.
At most Of these places, they were invited

and pleasant acknowledgment, on the part
Of the Band and the officers who accompan-
led them.

Discovery of an Antediluvian Man

The great scientific event ofthe month,
and, to my mind, one of the most extra
ordinary facts of the nineteenth centu-

man between Voiziat and Oyonaz in the
department of Ain, 1t i. not piece of
a human skull or of vertebra that has
been found, but skeleton and what a
skeleton Its height is four yards Like
the Titans precipitated into the abyss, it
has been found in q soil of a'luvium, the
head buried in the earth, and the feet

This stature, higher than that Of the
tallest man, is one Of the most interest.

the human race This is the first au-

create more noise than the mammot hs

the good fortune to unite the di-
verse phases of creation, and recon

mains have already confirmed the exis.

the unicorn will be found some day, per

They can form no opinion as to the
