Antiquity OF Man.

At recent meeting of the Chicago
Academy of Science, some interesting
facts were introduced to prove the great
antiquity OF the human race. Deep down
in the Nile, in Egypt, it was stated that
the remains OF men had been found, to
which the Pyramids were'young. In 1854
borings were made between Heliopolis
and Memphis. They were carried to the
depth of y feet, and did not pierce
through the Milo mud. At every foot
fragments of pottery were found. The
deposit of mud is calculated to have been
two and half inches in century. The
pieces Of pottery found ut the lowest
depths would thus be $4,000 years old.
Compared with it the Thebes of Homer
was modern. During the past season in
California, in the gold drift had been
found a skeleton of a man covered with
three overhows of lava. If true, it carried
back the epoch Of the introduction Of man
to remoter time than any European OBJ
servations. While there are abundant
evidences of glacitation of great parts Of
this continent these phenomena were
wanting in California as though the Roc
Ky Mountains acted as barrier. But
glaciers covered vast areas of the Sierra
Nevada and crushed up the gold strata
and carried them down. That grinding
up might be referred to the glacial period.
1t was probable that comparative tranquil
ity followed these violent phenomena.
The valleys were filed with modified drift.
Those deposits served mainly as the grave
of the fossil elephant, while the mastednn
was found in swamps. At Matches there
was terrace of sixty feet, where DR.. Nix.
on obtained the pelvic bone of man in
termingled with bones Of the msstedon
and megalonx.

thought and talked good deal about this
pcrplcxing problem while l was in Paris.
l never realized before l went to Paris
how much of an element the picturesque is
in the aspect of things. Here the element
is all-pervasive. 1t irradiates the gloom of
the PEASANTS hovel, and touches with it's
transforming finger the peasants rags. 1t
is in the very air. 1t is an exhlaratns
thing to see or feel. 1t cheers and light
ems, and gives dash of hopetulness to
the things that make for despair. The
boulevards are lined for miles with people
slipping wine. They look picturesque.
No shop windows can be compared with
those of Paris. And then, the winning
way they have in those shops-you buy
from sheer gratitude for being made to
feel 50 pleasant and on such good terms
with yoursel: and all mankind. 1t is the
fascinating element Of the picturesque
that is working on you. Iniqu.ty is CLAN
ced by this universal sheer Of the pictur-
esque, which leaves nothing good or bad
untouched, and no corner unilluminatcd.
Here
Vice is perso of such graceful ruen
That to be hat ed ought not to be seen.
The power Of Paris consists rreatey in
this romantic air that it gives to every.
thing, whether good or evil, and in this
ethereal garb Of the picturesque which it
throws over everything, making the home
ly beautiful, and the beautiful more beau
tiful.

Young Ladies' Beware

The New York .Su,, is severe on what
it calls the silly fashion which our young
ladies sometimes employ in writing their
christian names. To illustrate:
"A detailed report of fashionable
wedding conveys the information that
young gentleman who bears the noble
name of Lionel has just been united in
wedlock to Il lovely maiden named Jen.
ME, and that among the bridesmaids
on the interesting occasion three were
named, respectively, Lettie, Annie and
Gertiu. The ladies were all dressed in
the hight Of fashion, and some Of the
most popular gems from OHenbach's
operas were performed. The young la
dies who thus give to public notriety the
pet names conferred on them while they
yet bloomed in the seclusion of the nirs
sery, do not mean, of course, to be guilty
Of yulgarity and impert:nence, but they
are; and we speak OF their fault because
it is so general, especially among ignorant
and thonghtless people. 1t is all very
proper for Lionel to address his bride
by the sweet appellation of Jennie, but
that is privilege of his situation, to
which the general public cannot be ad-
mtted without violation Of propriety.
When the name of the young woman
com be printed on her visiting card, or
in a newspaper, it should be done de-
corously and simply as Jane. So Of her
bridesmaids their right names are Lett
tia. Anne and Gertrude, and it is nobody's
business by what tender authorizations and
expansions of those appelatives they may
be named by their mothers or their future
husbands"

scape, and through the forests, bringing
gown the dry and withsred leaves, that
formed the glory OF the Summer, in, clouds
to the ground. There are great rents and
gaps in the solid, green wall that the
forests lately presented, and through then,
there appear hills, valleys, orchards, or
houses that were hidden from view all
through the summer by tho dense foliage.
That poetic phenomenon, the falling of
the leai, Is now to be witnessed, repro
duced myriads OF times. The leaves are
ripe, and the little bud that shoots from
the stem, just ut the foot Of each one, hns
expanded till it is forcing the old leaf to
break away from the stem, leaving heart
shaped scar to mark the spot where it clung.
Parting reluctantly from the stem that
nourlshed it, careering before the wind,
the leaf is carried far from the parent tree,
as it flies before the gale, till it nestles st
the root Of Z clump OF ettangling briars,
or touches the bosom Of stream, and 10
borne away forever. In the high grounds
in the forest, where the blasts sweep with
unobstructed force through the branches
OF the leatlcss trees, there are few leaves
to be seen hiding the nakeaness OF the
bereaved and mourning earth bit il. the
sheltered valleys and glens they lis in
heaps kneedeep, and rustic with o noise
that seems to be almost as loud as thundet.
under the feet Of the hunter. The flowers
are gone; in out of the way, sheltered
places, where the fresh grass indicates u
damp and generous soil, there may rarely
be seen pink or purple point; but it is
like one who loiters in deserted banquet
hall; it feels that it is outliving its friends
and its usefulness-and it droops its head,
as if entreating the mother earth to take
it into the tomb with the rest. Gardens
grow desolate and dismal; there is wall.
ing of winds along the deserted walks,
that strikes the car and the heart like
human lamentation; the grass, even when
it has been kept green, as it has through
the present Fall, has lost it's warm and
sunny look, and grown cold and chill -
and under the wet leaves, and heaps of
decayed vines, there is smell of decay
and death. The life has gone out of ma
ture; the gorgeous October garniture OF
the forests is departing, and November
mourns over wan and withered land
scape, that shows scarcely vestge Of
beauty or joy.-Ea.

SO anxious and dignifed in his look, and
he was never known to suffer the slightest
molestation. Young and old looked silent

heads pitifully when he had gone by. He
disappeared, was seen again in London
some ten years later, still young, fair

he went straight on; and men again

How to Find Speech.

Mr.. L--affronted his wife, who, to
punish him, resolved to act dumb whenev-
er he was present, and SO well did she
maintain her resolution, that nearly a
week passed away, during which not n
word did she utter in his presence. She
performed her household duties as usual,
but speak she would not. lie tried to
coax her out of her whim, but in yain.-
At last he tried the following plan to over
come her resolution, by working on her
curiosity-the most ungovernable Of fe-
male propcnsities Returning one evening
from his employment, his lady sat there
as usual, mute. He Immediately common
ces a vigorous search throughout the room.
The closet was examined, the bed room,
drawers, boxes, shelvcs-everythins that
could be thought Of was overhauled. His
wife was struck with astonishment at his
unaccountabls behavior, and as he pro-
ceeded in his search, she became nerv0usly
anxious to find out what he was looking
for. What could it be? She looked in his
face to CLEAN, If possible, from his express
sion, the object Of his search, but no 90,
he was as sober as n judge. He lifted the
edge of the carpet, looked under the
table-cover, and finally approached her
chair-looked under it, and even went so
far as to brush her dress partially aside, as
if the object he sought might be there
She could stand it no longer. She burst
out: "Bob, what are yol looking for p"
He smiled, and answered. "Your tongue,
and I've found it"
