In the National Academy of Sciences last
week, Professor Hall, of Albany, read paper
on the bones of the mastodon found at Cohoes
in September of last year. He said the opn-
ion was generally adopted by biologists, that
the mastodon had lived during the present
epoch, and that the skeletons or bones found
IN peat marshes or swamps were the remains
OF those animals which had frequented these
places in search of food or of saline water as
the deer frequent the salt-licks, and becomino
mired in the soft mud, their remains had been
preserved This opinion he regarded as en-
tirely overthrown by the Cohoes discovery. and
said that the facts there disclosed forever set
at rest the commonly received opinion, that
the mastodon bones usually found in marshes
are the remains of those animals which FREE
quented these places for food or drink and if
the views here suggested shall be accepted, it
will place the age of the mastodon anterior to
the last glacial period.

A SUNDAY CONTEMPORARY says that the re-
movai of the Radicals from power is 'devoutly
to be wished" but frankly Acknowledges that
there is'no Democratic party OF sufficient or
ganization and reliable leaders to do it, Onr
neighbor complains that Clark Of the currency
bureau has willfully and malciously printed a
large amount of fifteen cent bills with the heads
of Grant and Sherman upon them. This is
not the first time that the heads of these two
distinguished soldiers have been put together
and not the first time that Democratic politi-
clans have been displeased with the result. A
little consultation in the spring OF 1864 gave
rise to military combinations which overthrow
the rebellion-Sherman marching to the sea
and Grant pressing things" in Virginia. Mr.
Clark surely does not deserve the raeJr, the
boots and the halter for commemorative
the event in the pretty photographic way of
the Treasury Department.

The Western Railroad Ouce Mare

Our correspondent, Dakota, writing from
Minnesota whose letter appears on our first
page to-day, alludes to this contemplated rail-
way, and urges its construction with all posi-
bic speed. He knows what he writes about,
and our readers may rely upon what he says.
He speaks of the railroad from st. Anthony
Falls to Lake Superior as sure to be built, and
when completed it will form another great
link in the chain connecting the East with
the West He tells us we need not fear any
lack ofbusiness, for all the routes will have all
the work they can do The products of the
great West are constantly increasing, and they
must find avenues to the Atlantic coast and
thence to the markets of the world We need
the roads, and that one which trayerses the
least space from the West to the sea coast will
have this advantage over all others.
Our correspondent says: "Push your enter
prise through, for it will be wanted.n We say
so too. Give us the railway that furnishes the
shortest and quickest way from the West TO
tidc-water, and the builders will find it will
pay. The railroad through the Notch to con-
meet with the Ogdcnsburg will be the shortest
way to reach tide-water, and being the short
est it will command the most business of
course. Then let the work 60 on as it will and
must Selfinterest is great motive power,
and just as soon as the people see it will be
for their pecuniary interest to construc. this
railway, they will rise and take hold of it. Al
ready they begin to see and to feel it, but not
in all its force That time has not quite come,
but it soon will, and then the enterprise will
go ahead much faster than some men dream of
in their phi losophy.

All the rational and right-thinl1ing portion

On July %, deputation from the Committee
of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery So
ciety, and the Comite Francois d'Emancipa-
ton, was received by the King of Portugal in
the Pavilion Marsan, at the Tuileries, when an
address from each society was presented to
him. In his reply the King said:
The question of emancipation and the aboli-
ton of the slave trade interested him deeply
and it was his ardent desire, as it was also the
wish of his government, to promote both. His
sympathies were wholly with the memorialists,
aud his government was considering what mea-
sures should be recommended to secure both
objects. The extinction of slavery involved i'm
terests which had to be dealt with, and it was
necessary when such great changes were inn
miuent to seek the means of effecting them
without perturbation. He would renew his
assurance to the memorialists that the whole
subject had and should continue to command
his attention and that of his government
Mr. Albright solicited permission to submit
the fact, that the freedmen of the United States
were working in the most satisfactory manner.
As Secretary to the National Freedmen's Aid
Union, he had been in correspondence with all
the existing associations in England and the
United States for assisting the freedmen, and
there was unanimous concurrence of testi-
mony as to their fitness for immediate emanc.-
patton. 1t was in the power of one individual,
who resolutely set his mind to the task, to ac-
complish much; UNNECESSARILY more could he
do in this matter who was also king. 10.
