the clergyman, and requested the clerk
to play It. at tell ZEE tits the 'undred

blacksmith. To prevent this unseemly
harangue, the clergyman descended
from the pulpit, walked to the harmo-
mum, placed the hymn before the clerk
(who had been watching his operations
with contracted eyebrows), and aid :
" Play that, IL you please The STUB

HUMAN Bones IN A QUEER PLACE
A very interesting, and, in one aspect,
a profoundly important discovery has
been lately made at Antelope, q station
four hundred and fifty miles west Of
Omaha. In digging q well for the rail
road company, there was reached at the
depth of sixty-eight feet, u layer of hu-
man bones-undoubtedly human from
the fact that there was a skull and jaw,
as well as other bones from the extrem-
tiles and tho trunk. The excayators
assert that in the process Of digging
they have found layers Of bones in
which the remains Of elephants and
tigers have been unearthed, it being
known to everybody that the animals
are an extinct species on this continent.
II remains for the sayans to determine
whether these human bones were cover
ed so deeply by the cataclasm, or were
deposited there in prehistoric times, 70
confirm or correct current scientinc
opinion both as to the origin OF the nu-
man race and the date Of its existence
upon this plane.

The Political debate which was to
have taken place yesterday between
Gen. T. E Edwards and Hon. R. II.
Taylor, Of Virginia, came to be post
poned in consequence Of the illness Of
Gen. Edwards, who is, we are sorry to
state, confined to his bed with an at
tack Of pleurisy. Col. Taylor was
promptly on hand; and at his request
we will state his declaration that he was
t'ready to meet Gen. Edwards or 'any

seems to be wadiug around inviting
somebody to tread on his coat-tail, the
probability is that he will manage to
get accommodated before the canvass

arrived at New York by way Of the
Hudson River Railroad, thirty tons of
regulus copper, (the metal at the bot
tom of the crucible). This ore came
from Cheyenne, and was re-shipped to
Wales via Liverpool, BY steamer. The
cheap ocean freights now ruling admit
of these products of our mines being sent
to Wales, where the smelling process is
so perfect that almost every atom Of
silver combined with it can be ex-
tracted.

No IpLERs.-The New York Tribune
warns Republicans that they must not
expect a victory ncxt fall, unless they
90 vigorously to work. It says: "a
change of less than $4,000 in over
1900, 900 votes would have elected
Mcclellan over Lincoln, and changed
our whole subsequent history That
warning should not be totally disre-
garded by the Republican party. In
order to whip corruption, as well as the
Democratic party, we should waste no
time. The bigger the majority, the
greater the victory; and the greater the
victory, the more united and powerful
we will appear in the eyes of foreign
nations, and the more easily will be
buried the now dying Democracy.

record of General Grant. He charged
that Grant had changed his views ON
the subject of reconstruction, he having
at the close of the Wal urged the imme-
diate admission of the Southern Con-
gressmen. He said that the secret OF
the adherence Of Grant, Sheridan, and
other army officers to the Radical party,
is that the tendency Of that party, they
having overthrow the prerogatiyes OF
| the Executive and the Supreme Court,
are toward a military despotism, which
would give prominence to officers Of the
army. He denied that the sentiments
expressed in his Now York letter were
revolutionary. He suid the Radical
party had made Copperheadism respect

CAUSES OF DROUTH.

Cassius NJ. Clay addresses a letter to
the Lexington, Kentucky, Statesman,
treating of the causes of drouth. He
attributes the prevailing tendency IN
that direction TO the destruction of for
ests. These forests, he says, not only
prevents rapid evaporation of the rain
water, creeks and ponds, but by the
fallen leaves hinder the waters from
rapidly passing into the rivers, and
thus allow time for the water to soak
into the soil and rocks and to fructify
vegetation. As remedy, suggested by
his own observation, and the result OF
investigations in Russia, where a COM
mission has been appointed to report
on the subject, he suggests:
1st. Let the forests be especially pre-
served on the mountains and hillsidea
where the lands is least valuable.
End. Let grass be substituted as far
as possible for plowed crops.
Sd. Let fruit trees, and vines, and
fruit bearing shrubs be planted. These
sustain humamlife and at the same time
prevent drouth.
18th. Let iron be substituted for large
timbers in buildings; use brick instead
of wood. and coal for fuel.
By these means the ends desired can
be possibly accomplished. To effect
this, public sentiment may be invoked
or legislation employed
Mr. Clay fears that without such pre-
cautionary measures, the vast valley OF
the Mississippi viii, In time, become a
barren as some of the formerly prodnc-
tive regions Of Russia, which are now
uncultivated.

IS TIE WORLD GROWING LARGER /!

Is there not reason to think that this
world is daily increasing i'll size? Is
there not an action taking place on its
surface analogous to that which occurs
in plastic cell when placed in circum-
stances favorable for its development
To illustrate this thought: We plant
little acorn, weighing a few grains, in
the ground. In the course of time it
becomes the large oak, weighing thou
sands of pounds, and spreading its
branches far and wide in every direc-
ton. This oak gets its weight and
bulk principally from the air we breathe,
and remains upon the earth thousands
Of years, perhaps, and undergoes a
great many changes before it is finally
restored to the atmosphere, even if this
event ever does take place. So animals
derive their weight and bulk partly from
the air they breathe into their lungs,
and partly from the Vegetables which
they deyour. When animals die, their
bodies, it is true are partly dccomposed
into gas, and restored to the atmosphere,
but they are principally seized upon
and appropriated by growing Vegetables
which Ill their turn are deYoured by
other animals. 1t thus seems to me
that the earth, through the agency of its
animals and Vegetable productions, must
be daily increasing at the expense of the
atmosphere by which it.is surrounded
In other words, the plants and animal:
of the earth are all the time appropiatine
to themselves the elements of the at
mosphere. and forming out of them new
compounds which remain upon the
earth an almost indefinite length o.
time before they are decomposed and
restored to the atmosphere. This idea
! is illustrated in our coal mines. Al
coal was originally wood, and like al
wood, was formed principally at the
expense of the elements of the atmos
| phere. This coal has remained upon the
earth millions of years, perhaps, and
now at length men, urged on by theiI
necessities, are digging it up, and b,
| burning it, restoring it in the shape o.
carbonic acid to the atmosphere, from
which it originally came. No one, il
seems to me, can doubt that the earth j.
| larger now than it was when this Goa
| existed in the form of wood. Although
the world may be increasing now, il
does not follow that it will continue tC
increase for all time; sooner or later al
equilibrium will be established between
the amounts of elementary principles
which the earth takes from and restores
to the atmosphere. But at present, il
my opinion, is like a growing animal
its absorption exceeds its waste. In !;
word, our planet is not a full-growI
| earth; it is merely an earthling. =
Exchange.
