A TROTTING MATCH.


At a certain splendid evening party a naughty
young beauty turned to a student who stood
near her and said-
"Cousin John, ! understand your eccentric
friend l. is here. Do bring him here and in
troduce him to me-
The student went in search of his friend, and
at length found him lounging on a sofa.
Come, l." said he, my beautiful cousin
Catharine wishes to be introduced to you"
''Well, trot her out, john drawled l.,
with an affected yawn.
John returned to his cousin and advised her
to defer the Introduction to more favorable
time, repeating the answer he had received.
The beauty bit her lip, but the next moment
said:-''Well, never fear, l shall insist on being
introduced
After some delay l. was led up and the
ceremony OF introduction was performed.
Agreeably surprised by the beauty and COM
mandng appearance Of Catherine, l. made a
profound bow; but instead of returning it, she
stepped backwards, aud raising her glass, sur
veyed him deliberately from head to foot; then,
waving the back of her hand towards him,
drawled out
.'Trot him off, John! trot him off! That is
enough

The Exhumation of an AntediIuvian
Human Skeleton at Sank Rapids.

Day before yesterday, while the
quarrymcn. employed by the Sank
Rapids Water Power Company, were
engaged in quarrying rock for the dam
which is being erected across the Mis-
sissippi at this place. found embedded
in=the solid granite rock the remains
of human being of gigantic stature.
About seven feet below the surface of
the ground, and about three feet and
a half beneath the upper stratum of
rock the remains were found imbed-
ded in the sand, which had evidently
been placed in the quadrangular grave
which had been dug out of the solid
rock to receive the last remains of this
antediluvian giant. The grave was
twelve feet in length, four wide, and
about three feet in depth. and is to-
day at least two feet below the present
level of the river. The remains are
completely petrified, and are of
gigantic dimensions. The head is
massive, measures thirty-one and one
half inches in circumference, hut low
IN the osfrOntis, and very flat on top.
The Femur measures twenty-five and
q quarter inches, and the Fibula TWEEN
ty-fye and half, while the body is
equally long in proportion. From
crown of the head to the solo of the
foot, the length is ten feet nine and a
half inches. The measure around the
chest is ffty-nine and a half inches.
This giant must have weighed at least
nine hundred pounds, when covered
win a reasonable amount of flesh.
The petrifed remains, and there is
nothing left but the naked bones, now
weigh three hundred and four and
a quarter pounds. The thumb and
fingers of the left hand, and the left
foot from the ankle to the toes are
gone; but all the other parts are per-
feet. Over the speulchre of the un-
known dead was placed a large fiat
limestone rock that remained perfect
ly separated from the surrounding
granite rock - 2
These wonderful remains Of an an
tediluEian, gigantic race are in the
possession of a gentleman, who has
started with it to his residence east
