Fossil Remains of Extinct Races of Men.

Samuel johnson, of Middletown, Connecticut,
writes to the Name Farmer of wonderful dscov-
cries made at Portland just across the Connect-
cut river from Middletown. He says:
sOn the east bank of the Connecticut are the
Portland stone quarries, which have been work.
ed for one hundred and fifty years. At present
in three quarres, about one hundred men are at
work, and thirty forty vessels employed
in carrying the stone to the great markets.
" These excavations, which have now reached
depth of one hundred and five feet below the
surface of the water in the river, have revealed
untold wonders. The stone is said to be full of
fossil remains in its lowest depths. | might call
it a charnel house, but this is too gloomy q term
to apply to it. 1t is rather Gods great Book of
Records which has been carefully preserved and
Theoretically sealed up till within the past few
years. On the countless leaves Of this book are
found the record of past ages, and the storms
of the birds and animals and more wondrous
still. they tell US Of the men of those ages, show
us their customs they also open to US theii
graves and show US their modes Of burial, the
men lying in one posture and the women in an
other. These men all have three fingers and Z
thumb and four toes. The comparatively moro
recent Of them were from six to seven feet high
but as we unfold the leaves further and proceed
far back into the cycles of time to the lower
depths of the rock we come to a race of giants
twelve feet high with feet twenty-five inches in
length. These men wore shoes and had domes-
tic animals of peculiar structure and great size
The only human instruments so far discovered
were made Of stone. They had saws and long
knives made Of slate and brought probably from
Vermont.
g This sand stone basin is believed to be of
the same geological age the basin of Paris in
France, but the fossil remains are more nu,ner-
Gus than those in the Paris basin, more wonder
ful, and in a better state Of preservation. How
easy it is to thing after it is pointed out to
us Just as easy TO use and apply Kcplcr laws
after keplcr has discovered them. These quar-
ries were worked more than hundred wears
ago, and were used for sidewalks and buildings
before the fossils were discovered. Now tho
practical eye can see them almost anywhere.
. The most indefatgabe observer. and the
most industrious collector of these facts is Dr.
Barrett, who has spent almost lifetime in col
lecting fragmentary evidence and surmountine
difficulties He is said to have rcmarkabl
knowledge of comparative anatomy, and to be in
many respects, very learned and remarkable
man, who has been far in advance of his times
Many years since the fact of a, prc-AdaEtc race
dawned upon him. and he announced it in con-
versation. Presently similar discoveries have
been made in Europe, and learned men are be-
ginning to admit the fact. AgassiZ carries the
existence of man on earth back seventy thou
sand years. Dr.. Barrett says that man trod this
valley at least ninety thousand years ago, but
not race the present race is a new and dis
tinct creation. -

FEMALE SUFvRAcE.-Mark Twain in letter on
this subject says:
\ female political canvass would be, an out
rageous thing. Think of the torch light process
sions that would distress our eyes. Think of
the curious legends on the transparcncics
q Robbins forever Vote for Salie Robbins, the
only vrtuous candidate in the field -
And this Chastity, modesty, patriotism ?
Let the great people stand by Maria Sanders, the
champion Of morality and progress, and the only
candidate with a stainless reputation
And this q Vote for Judy McGinnis, the in
corruptible Nine children-one at the breast -
In that day shall say to his servant
q What is the matter with the baby?" And the
servant shall answer, sit has been sick for
hours . And where is its mothcr?' . She
has gone out electoneering for Sallie Robbins" "
And Such conversations these shall inspire
between ladies and servants applying for situa-
tions :. Can you cook = % Yes" . Wash r.
/" Yes" I" All right who i. your choice for
State Millner"' Judy McGinnis." We'll,
you can tramp And women shall talk poll
tics instead of discussing the fashions and they
shall neglect the duties of the household to 60
out and take drink with the candidates and
men shall nurse the babe while their wives
travel to the polls TO vote. And also in that dav
the who hath beautiful whiskcrs shall beat
the homely man Of wisdom for Governor, and
the youth who W altzes with exquisite grace shall
be Chief of Police, in preference to the man of
practlced sagacity and determined energy.

Old Times.

There's beautiful song on the slun!brous air
That drifts through the valley Of dreams;
1t comes from Cline where the roses were
And tunefu heart and bright brown hair,
That waved in the morning beams.
Soft eyes of azure aud eyes Of brown
And snow-white foreheads are there;
A gliEimering Cross and a giittering Crown
thorny bed and Il couch of down.
Lost hopes and leaflets Of PRAYER.

Three golden links on a broken band,
4 tiny track in the snow white sand,
tear and 4 sinless brow
There's tincture of grief in the beautiful song
That sounds the summer air
And loneliness felt i'll the festive throng,
Sinks down in the soul rs it trembles along
From cline where the are.
We heard it first at the dawn of day,
And it mingled with niatin Chimes
But years have distanced the beautiful lay,
And its melody loweth far away,
And we call il now Old Times,'

Perrot arrived at the value of certain conflicting
evidence. Gentlemen of the jury" this Judge
is reported to have said, in summing up the evil
dence in trial where the witnesses had sworn
with noble tenacity of purpose, 4" there are if
teen witnesses who swear that the watercourse
used to flow in ditch the north side of the
hedge. On the other hand, gentlemen, there are
nine witnesses who swear that the watercourse
used to flow on the south side of the hedge.
Now, gentlemen, if you subtract nine from if
teen, there remain six witnesses wholly uncon-

ino tha nardon. If such exclusion can be
sfiscted by the execution Of an expurga-
.orv oath covering tho offence, the pardon
roay he avoided, and that accomplished
;nd;rectly which cannot be reached by
d;rect legislation. II Is not within the con-
stitutional power of Congress thus to infict
punishment beyond the reach Of Executive
clemency.
From the petitioner, therefore, the oath
required by the act Of January a, 1865,
cannot be exacted, even were that act not
subject to any other objection than the
one just stated. 1t follows, from the views
expressed, that the prayer of the petit
toner must be granted.
The case Of r. II. MARI is similar in its
main features to that of the petitioner,
and his must be granted and the amend
ment to the second rule of the court, which
requires the oath prescribed by the act OF
January "a, 1865, to be taken by attorneys
and counsellors, having been unadvisedly
adopted, must be rescinded, and it is so
ordered.

PHILADELPHIA, August II, 1866.
To the Union Men Of The
Fourth Congressional District !:
A long and successful career in crime
emboldens the guilty. A recent illustra-
ton OF this law OF human nature impels me
to violate my long-life rule of conduct, and
for once to notice political slanderer. /
do not, however, address you for the pur-
pose OF repelling his inuendoes or false
hoods. My life has been passed among
you, and if its record, familiar to you all,
does not repel them, | have lived in vain.
My purpose is simply to pierce the mail of
ill-gotten gold in which the slanderer has
clothed himself, and give you glimpse at
the loathsome object it protects.
The papers Of Friday announce that
Simon Cameron, Of Dauphin county, was
serenaded by his friends on the preceding
evening at the Girard House in this city,
and availed himself of the occasion to villify
my colleagues and myself, "the Congress
men of Philadelphia" in speech to the
assemblage.
I was but youth when first heard the
name Of Simon Cameron, and it was as the
perpetrator Of great crime. He had been
made the agent Of the Government to carry
large amount of money due them to the
Winnebago indians, and had taken advan-
tage of their ignorance and helplessness to
enrich himself. Those of you who had
then attained to manhood, though You
may not, after the lapse of so many years,
