PREHISTORIC MAN IN GREAT BnlTAIS.
In an interesting communication to n
scientific Congress in France quite re-
Gently, the author shows that man lived
in Great Britain in association with the
fossil hyena, cave, bear, lion, tiger,
Irish elk, reindeer, bison, hippopotamus,
horse, %rhinoceros, mammoth, and other
animals. The evidence Of this consists
in finding bones of these animals in
caves and river deposits, associated
with human bones and implements,
under circumstances entirely precluding
the possibility Of subsequent interpola-
ton of the latter the animal remains,
in many instances charred and split,
evidently by the agency Of man, and
bearing frequenttraccs ofhis rude tools.
OF the various species enumerated, the
mammoth, the horse, and tho bison
were most abundant the rapacious
animals comparatively rare, and man
himself not numerous. At that time
Great Britain was united to the conti-
ueut Of Europe, and the Thames flowed
northward and united with the Rhine
and the Elbe in forming an estuary.
The climate was very severe, glaciers
Astounding in the mountains, and rein
deer and musk oxen feeding in the
plains. Next the land became depressed,
the lowlands were submerged beneath
the waters, and the climate Of all Eu-
rope became warmer. The reindeer and
the moose (called elk in Europc) moved
northward, and the musk OK became ex-
tinct, being only known as a living
species in Arctic America.

THE WAY IT WAS DoNE.-A farmer
named Derby drew Sl95 from n Chicago
bank not long ago, and he left. He
had gone but q short distance when
some one, nearly out Of breath, took
hold Of him by the coat tail and anx-
iously inquired if he had not but n mo-
mcnt before drawn a certain Rmonnt Of
money on a check. The question hav-
ing been answered in the affirmative,
tho stranger inquired further if part of
the money had not been paid in bills OF
large denomination, and, if so, he re-
marked that it was customary for the
bank to keep an account Of the numbers
of all bills of the denomination Of $50
and upward; that in the hurry the mat
ter had been overlooked, and he kindly
requested Mr.. Derby to return to the
bank, in order to allow them to note
the numbers. Mr.. Derby consented.
Ho handed the bills to the sharper, and
the two proceeded toward the bank.
While on their way, some one-the
thicf's "pal"-cnrrying an umbrella,
ran heavily against Mr.. Derby, effectu-
ally upsetting that gentleman. 1t re-
quired some little time to gain his cqui-
librium, and, meanwhile, the obliging
bank dttaehe had disappeared with the
Sl95. Nothing has been seen Of him
since.

ORIENTAL LITERATURE. "A resurrec-
ton of some Oriental literature is very
humiliating to our western and nine
teenth century pride, in showing how
far the Chinese had gone in civilization
when Europe was barbarian and America
unknown. They werc burning coal be-
fore tho Christian cra they were print
ing A. D.. 5Sl with black, and litho-
graphing about three centuries later /;
yet another century, and they were
using movable types Of terra Gotta.
Porcelain, water-tight compartments in
ships, portrait for catching criminals
all these wero known to them In those
days. And it even appears that one
hundred and nineteen years before
Christ these Celestials used leather

tradition of the Madonna and child.
This symbol was the Tien-How, the
Queen of Heaven, represented as nurs-

Bold Attempt to Liberate n Murderer
Another Mortaliy Wounded.
From the Henderson County Ql.) Plalndcaler.
A bold but unsuccessful attempt &c
release q prisoner, confined in q county
Jail for murder, was made by a party Of
desperadoes on Friday evening last.
The particulars, as given to US by
the jailor, John ". Fuller, Esq, are
substantially as follows: On Friday
last, about dusk, Mr.. Fuller and his
daughter, q young lady, were in the
lower part Of the house, Mr.. Fuller be-
ing engaged in cutting up some meat,
when four men entered from tho out
side. Mr.. Fuller bade them "good
evening" and asked them to be seated.
At this ono Of tho men advanced toward
him, and briefly announced that their
object in coming there was to release q
certain prisoner by the name of Gala
CHER. Mr.. Fuller expressed some sur
prise at the avowed object Of their visit,
and requested that they would not harm
his family. They interrupted him by
asking for the keys; he gave them the
shackle keys. The key to the cell they
took from a nail in the room.
Miss Fuller started to go up stairs,
when one of the men named Hailpointed
a revolver at her, shaking his head in
disapproval.
As the men turned to 60 to the cell in
which Gallagher is confined, Fuller and
his daughter passed out, followed by
one of the party, who, as no closed the

EDITOR News: About three o'clock on
last Saturday morning q mar was killed
by a special policeman. Our Town
Marshal and his regular aids Informed
the Coroner of the matter; the Coroner
came to Gold Hill, examined the peck
cts and clothes of deceased for effects,
and took away all there was to be found,
leaving the poor dead body Of the muir.
dered man lying like q dead dog on the
aoor of the station-house until three
o'clock in the afternoon, where at least
o thousand people saw it, almost every
one Of whom viewed it in horror and
disgust-not only on account Of the
dreadful homicide, but also that il
should be allowed for twelve hours to
remain lying on q dirty floor, without
any covering except what it died in, q
pair Of pants and q shirt. Why was
this? Why did the Coroner give orders
that tho body be not disturbed; and
that it should remain just where it drop
ped dead? The officer who shot the
man confessed that he did it, and had
been taken in custody. Instead, too,
of the Coroner coming to Gold Hill, as
he certainly should have done, and
summouing a jury early in the morning,
he never came nea the body until
almost twelve hours after death. Now,
the Coroner, Mr.. Gartrell, either does
not know his duty or he is grossly cul-
pablo in neglccting it. 1t was a matter
Of general remark, on Saturday, that
neglscting to properly take care of the
dead body, and exposing it to the gaze
of q thousand people, lying on q dirty
floor, without wen covering, was the
mos. bcastly, inhuman sight ever wit
messed in this town; and a disgrace to
tho official who holds the position OF
Coroner. Common deccncy, and n faint
realization Of his official duty would
have dictated to him that the dead
stranger should at least have been
placed and covered somewhere else than
to be left lying like q dead dog. Others,
many others, think just as do.

Indian Items from Camp McDermi..

We have been favored with the pc
rusal of u private letter from Jennings
Smith, dated Camp McDermit, Dec. 81.
Mr.. Smith is q well-known resident OF
Owyhee-is engaged in hunting up the
hostile Indians in the vicinity OF
Queens river and bringing them to
Camp McDermit. Several weeks ago,
hearing Col. Baker say that he would
be glad to have the Indians come in mt
give themselves up, Smith told him that
if furnished with a pack-mulc ana TWO
Indian interpreters he would go II in
to the mountains and bring the savages
into the Post. Accordingly he was
fitted out as he desired, and by careful
searching at last discovered the where
abouts OF an Indian camp. Being well
armed and choosing q position to guard
against surprise, he sent his Interpreters
to talk with the Indians, who appeared
dcsirious' of making peace, but were
afraid Of being killed tor what they had
already done. At length, being assured
that they should be unframed, they
agreed to surrender, and Smith brought
them into Camp McDermit, where, some
what to their surprise, they were kindly
treated. In q few days he went out
again, accompanied by several OF the
Indians that he had recently brought
into camp in order that they might eS-
plain to their people in the mountains
the good treatment they had received Mt
tho hands of tho whites. Our hero has
been quito successful, having induced
several bands to come in. At the date
above mentioned no writes that he had
Just arrived at McDcrmit with II party Of
forty-two. His Christmas was passed
in their camp near the head of Queens
river. The addition Of the last party
makes lO7 that he Inns found and
brought in since he commenced. He
will start out again in a few days, and
expects to be able to get n hundred
more. They will probably DO sent
south to somo reservation. Many OF
these unfortunate beings arc in q starv-
ing condition. Tired of war, they are
glad to make peace-whether it be per-
manent or not, rests, in n great meas
ure, with Indian agents and others in au-
thority. Smith certainly deserves great
credit for tho part he is enacting in
bringing this sickening, savage warfare
| to q close. From the experience of the
last four years we are Of the opinion
that it is decidedly the best way to Mt

Mrs. Cynthia j., wife of Francis E. Quimby

illness of nearly five years, aged 80 years. She
was married May IS, 1862. In June, 1868, she
sckened and never enjoyed health afterwards.
Four years ago she gave her heart to the Savior
and in him found rest and peace. Her health
being poor she enjoyed but few religious privil-
eyes and made no public profession. But she
suffered the viii of heaven meekly and patiently
in all her trials. Her attachment to life, to her
husband and other friends were ardent and
strong. She fondy cherished a hope of recoy-
erv till within a few weeks of her death. When
fully convinced that her end was near, she made
no delay to seek needful grace to support and
cheer her spirit, when creature aid should be-
come unavailing Soon all fear was dispelled,
her mind became serene and heavenly; Jesus
and the blissful hope of heaven filed every void
of her heart. Earth and all she loved so well
were given up, she longed to go and rest in her
Savior's embrace. Her peaceful, tranquil exit
was indeed triumph of divine grace. Among
other arrangements for her burial she selected
the following text, so expressive of her expert
ences, to be used at her funeral: For our light
| affliction," sc. She leaves husband, q mother
| four brothers and two sisters, besides many
| other relatives who appreciate her worth, her

/ a sister and a friend. /. B. TAsKER.
