Theinhabitapts of city or village should

ever tends toithis end enhances the value
of property, and makes it more eagerly
sought for by strangers as place of resi-
dence., Now, our main street looks like
small country village with its huge signs
perched upon poles and hitching posts
uprising from the cutters. These should
be immediately removed, as they are often
siye to the eye and very Injurious to the
pavement. 1t would take but slIorl
time, in, fly season, for horse to stamp a
hole in the wooden blocks, thereby causing
the water to settle there, and this would
soon cause the wood to rot. No horse
should be permitted to stand in the main
street unattended, if this were. done we
should hear of less damages. 1t would
evidently be uniustto remove part, there

POLICE CoURT.-The attendance at the

Lucy Murray was-shall we write it?-
drunk. Lucy is sweet damsel of some

slowing that blessed fluid known as ben

emergency. 1t has often been said that
whatever woman does, she performs bet
ter than man. We believe it. There
isn't man in Columbus could put himself
around so much bad whisky as Lucy did on
Friday night, and live. To give her an OPP
portunity to recover from her terrible
load. the Mayor sentenced her to pay fine
of So, and to ten days confinement in the
City Prison. How splendidly she will
make the floors of the noble chateau de

she wanders through its bright and gilded
corridors, mop in hand, carrying on war
to the death against the active, frisky and
agile bedbugs of that paiatial mansion.

MEN AND MONKEYS.
NnATAGAss1z THINKS.


In his twelfth and last lecture on Bra
zlle, delivered in Boston, Professor Aga
ssiz devoted the concluding portion Of
his remarks TO tbs subject Of the monkey
tribes, and a defence Of the Professor
theory that the different races Of meH
have different origins. This, he said. was
an awkward subject, and one which he
dreaded to discuss, though il was relieV
ed from some of the embarrassment which
surrounded it while slavery existed,
when the assertion Of the inIeroIity Of the
negro was regarded as a defence of the
system Of slavery. The discussion was
also unpleasant, because it involved dis
sent from the doctrine Of common origin
which the Christian world has so loag
held sacred.
Yet he felt bound 10 express his con
viction on this subject. While regarding
the monkey tribe as the highest of be
quadrupedeal mammalia, anu as next to
man, he could not sanction the doctrine
of final transformation of monkeys into
men, and was not inclined to admit that
we are the descendants of the highest
monkeys. In this connection the lecturer
remarked IN an interesting manner upon
the characteristics of the monkey, tht
ourang outang, the chimpanzse, the gor'
lila and the gibbou, marking them rs fam
lilies distinct from man, though in many
points having affinity yet having diGeren
paIentage. Considering the regions from
whence these monkey tribes derive theil
origin, il must be concluded that if they
were allied to any of the races Of men, i
was to the Monaghan and the negro. anC
not 20 the white, bat a critical examiaa
ton of facts would not warrant he theo
Ty Of transmutation, Of the doctrine thai
men have a common origin. The iact
that the pEogency OF a combination of in
dividuals Of two races never resemble one
of the other parent, warrant the inference
that the different races bear to one another
the same relation as different species OF
animals bear to each other, and that all
have different origin. Perhaps, indeed,
different Mathematics also have different
origins. " 11-
In conclusion, the lecturer saiI thstun
less the fact of a common origin could be
established historically, we accept the
conclusions deduced from The investiga-
lions OF naturalists. II we could trace a
plan OF variation and succession through
all ages, instead of regarding diversity a s
the result Of accident, We sh6s1d see the
evidence of Thinking mtndsin the whloe
creation, and recoguize ourselves as the
children of God, aud not as the children
OF monkeys.

inent Pennsylvanians are said to be can
wasting the project of having the State
publish in Philadelphia, IA enormous news
paper, something on the scale hitherto un-
heard of in the world Of Journalism. It
is to be about three times as large as
any newspaper now published in this
country, and is to be furnished gratuit.
ously to every voter in the State. It is
supposed that 100000 persons can be
found outside the State who will subscribe
for it at Sl2 year, and an income oil over
eight millions of dollars is expected from
advertising. The annual expenses of the
paper are set down at about twelve mil
lions, and on this basis the enterprise is
expected to yield a net revenue Of nearly a
million and a half to the State.

WHITEwAsHING TREEs.-An old farmer
says: The practice of coating the bark
of fruit and ornamental trees with white
wash is one that cannot be too severely
deprecated. The obstruction of the per-
spitory organs and orifces, whether eff
fected by the application of whitewash or
any other adhesive material, always acts as
a fruitful source of disease. and in time
proves fatal to the tree. When the bark
becomes rough or iucrusted with moss, it
should be cleaned by scraping and wash
ing down thoroughly with a solution of
soft soap or soda in water, affording smooth
ness to the surface without obstructing the
pores.
