Experts have pronounced tho quality

tho quantity lis inexhaustible. The

never been properly explored and in

that scientific examination would

tional name, which is also inscribed
on the sisals, or tablet. The funeral
generally takes place an hoar on two

HUMAN PROGRESS.

The Edinburgh Reriew. in An exceed
ingly valuable article on 'Salem Witch
craft, gives the following characterization
Of tile three classes Of men who exert an
Influence, favorable or otherwise, in all mat
ters Of scientific research affecting the pro-
gress Of the human race;
1.-The spectacle presented now is Of the
same three sorts of people that appear in all
sali,es, iu all literatures, since the pursuit
Of truth in any mode or direction became
recognized object any Where and under
any conditions. Leaving out Of view the
multitude who are irrelevant to the case,
from having no knowledge, and being,
therefore, incapable Of On opinion there is
the large company OF the superficial and
light minded who are always injuring the
honor and beauty of truth by the levi'y,
the impertinence, tho absu:dity OF the
enthusiasm they pretend, and the nonsense
they talk about some, new things. NJ
period of society has been more familiar
" it'll that class and its Notwithstanding
than our own. There is the other large
class of the contemporaries Of any discov-
cry or special advance, who, when they can
ahs"nt themselves from the scene no longer
look al, d listen, and Tend all their efforts to
hold Underground Of lifelong opinion, usual'
ly succeeding SO far as to escape any di-
rect admission that more is known than
when they were born. These are no ulli-
mate hindrance. Wien Harvey died, nc
physician 10 Europe above the age Of fort5
believed in the circulation Of the blood
but the tru,l, was pc, fectly safe.
''rhe very small number Of persons who
are, in the matter Of human progress, th'
salt of the earth, are they who can endure
to see without understanding, to hear with
out Immediately believing or d;sbelieviDs
: 10 learn what they can without auy con
: sidera,:on of what figure they themselve
shall make in the transaction, and even t
: be unable to reconcile the new phenomen
with their own prior experience or concep
S lions. There is no need to describe no,

stamps him rs something much moro
heroic than IN ordinary sportsman.
lie determined to dress up as a post
runner, and to go alone ut sunset to
this bend in the road, and abide the
man-cater's onset. Two or three of
his bravcst followers volunteered to
ace omp:.ny him, but the offer was de-
clincd, for it was thought that the
tiger might be alarmed ut the pres
encc of several persons where he had
been accustomed to sec only one.
After good sleep, and, VIC will ven
turc to add, hearty meal, tho Old
Shckarry, dressed in native costume,
and armed with short doublc-barrcl-
:rd ride, a brace Of pistols, and hugo
knife, bctool1 himself to the ill.omcn-
cd spot. Ringing his postman's bell
as he walked along, he gradually
drew nearer and nearer. The issue
must bc told in his own words:
"Thc sun had almost set as pro.
ccedcd slowly down the road, and al-
though was perfectly cool, and as
steady as possible, I felt cold drops
Of pcrspiration start from my fore
iac&d rs approached the spot where
SO many victims had been sacrificed.
I passed tho rock, keeping we'll Oh the
lookout, and listening carefully for
the slightest sound. x Whilst
ascending the opposite side of the RI
vine, 1 heard n slight noise like the
crackling Of dry leaf; l paused, and,
turning to the left, frontcd tho spot
from whence thought the noise pro
ccedcd. l distinctly saw movement
or. waving in the high grass, as if
something was m;,ising it's way to-
wards me; then heard j loud purr-
ing sound, and saw something twitch,
ing backwards and forwards behind !:
clump Of low bush and long grass
about eight or ten PAGES from nc, and
Il little in tue rear. 1t was a ticklisl
moment, but I felt prepared. step
ped back couple of PAGES: in ortlel
to get, better view, which actor
, probably: saved my life, for inn fcdiate
ly the brute spranS into the middle o
, the road, al;ghting about six fec
