AN EXPERT ON THE ONoNDAGA GIANT
Professor Hall, State Geologist, has viewed tho
Onondaga statue, and what he says Of it,
though guarded az the cautious utterance of a
man Of science, somewhat revives the interest
in the gypsum wonder. He determines that it
is no fossil, but sculptnred figure. This,
ne evidently does not assent that there is any
imposture or cheat in its discovery. and re-
CARDS It as really a thing of some antiquity
His mentioning ii in the same breath with the
Central American sculptures seems to point to
belief that it antedates the advent of the
white man, and this point could be determined
by any person verscd in the peculiar charac-
ter of American antiquities

TIE Situation In Rpuin,

The cable kilograms from Madrid, which we
their political reports were it not that they
foreshadow, almost with certainty, the
approaching dissolution of a nation once
famous in the paths of war and renowned for
its patronage Of geographical exploration, but
which has become almost prematurely seniie
and effete, even with its years and ancestry,
through native class corruption and ecclesias
teal engagement and religious exclusiveism
and the outside border pressure and interior
intrigue of foreign governments and neighbor-
ing dynasts. The Spaniards are despatching
troops to Cuba and baloting for king in
Madrid-thus afording evidences of theirrace's
instinct for colonial oppression and inability
for self-goyernment at one and the same time.
The troops, however, may not sail, and
the coming king appears to be far
Genoa is again spoken of as elected to
the throne, but his father, King Victor
Emanuel, has already declined the intended
honor in his behalf The Duke de
Montpensier is said to have good chance
should the Italian not accept. 1t looks indeed
as if the youthful Savoyard has been trotted
out again as a foil, merely with the view Of
striking" the purse of the last named gentle
man, who does not appear to be in any hurry
to ''come down handsomely" In the mean
time the Spanish legislators remain ia king
making caucus and balloting at most furious
rate, voting ''early" and late and ''often.
The ballots are apparently innumerable, and
their progress and issue should be duly noted
not, however, for prccedent-by the American
Presidential nominating conventions for 1872
What we are told this morning may be contra
dicted this evening. 1t may be, however, that
the Madrid caucus men have been gambling in
reality, as they are vastly addicted to watch
ing the movements Of the ''little joker at all
times. If the Duke of Genoa has been elected
king it is good, if not, it is good also.

Social SCIENCE. The Social Science Asso-
citation, after the reading Of great number of
scientific papers from different professors on
various things, has adjourned till next year
These papers we're more or less interesting
and charged with valuable facts and sugges-
tions; but, in practical view, we apprehend
that tho labors Of the association may be
ranked with that class of scientific organizs-
tons which are more ornamental than useful.

FAMILY BURNED TO DEATH.-The fire
which took place in Liberty street yesterday
was serious only in the loss of human life it
caused. The janitor, his wife and two chill
dren were burned to death or suffocated be-
fore the iremen could reach them. The
calamity was doubtless unavoidable, but it
belongs ITO that class whose recital is
always fraught with the most suggestive
reflections. 1t is a terrible thing to think
of an entire family of four persons, in the
full vgor of life, called upon suddenly to
end their earthly careers in so frightful and
horrible manner.

GETTING Too HoT FOR Hm-Salnave, the
negro tyrant Of Ilayti, It Is said, has applied to
Commodore Phillimore, of the British navy, for
vessel to enable him to leave Hayti and pro-
coed to Jamaica. In reply the Commodore
stated that vessel would be placed at his dis
posaI in few days. This news, we presume,
Is true, and we hope next to hear that the pug
nacious darby Salnave has cleared out, bag
and baggage, and that next the poor niggers OF
Hayti will have q little peace.

BROTHER BEEoHER on WoMANs RIGHTs.-
He is great acquisition to the strong
minded-worth all the women in the camp in
talking up the cause. He sticks to his text
and turns it and twists it into every shape and
form, and still when he shakes it out it is
woman's rights. He makes her right to the
ballot as clear as Sambos or John Chinaman's.
and he goes in for the niger, the Chinaman,
women and ALL Woman's rights have been
dragging, but henceforward the women
preachers will flourish, now that Brother
Beecher has become their teacher.

AN ARIsTooRATIo ORGAN ON GRANT The
article of the London Post on General Grant
shows us that English writers who care to be
fair and do not, in discussing American affairs,
merely seek opportunities to vent spleen, can
reach tolerably just conclusions, even with the
width of the Atlantic between them and their
subject. We do not regard the attitude Of the
administration on the Cuban trouble, which the
London Post praises, as the best feather in its
cap; but they take a different view of these
matters in Europe.

MISSOURI RATIPIcATIoN.-The radicals
in Missouri in order to show their fealry to
the party, have vari6ed the old maxim,
% Much haste, little speed" In their great
anxiety to ratify the fifteenth Amendment
to the Constitution, they took advantage of
the lightning line aud ratified by telegraph.
1t is so happened that the telegraph, under
radical control, was anxious to assist them,
and in it, haste left out an important section
The Legislature, without information as to
what it was they were to ratify, not having
received notice through the State Depart,
ment, as required by Law, hastily ratified
whatever came to them and adjourned The
section left out still awaits their action. We
presume, however, as Missouri is under radi-
cal rule, that the smendment will be return
ed as ratified. The oath of Office, or legality
of action, are matters of no moment in that
State. when coming in contact with the will
of tyraunical, radical measure. Radical
napers there have every confidence in the
Legislature elect, which has adjourned tc
meet again next Winter. A Jefferson City
paper says the amendment was not trSns,
mitted through the Secretary oil state. sno
we presume will be re-rati6ed next Winses
thus making assurance doubly sure"

WALTHAM
WI TCHE s.!

The extensive use OF these watches for the last
fifteen years by Railway Conductors, Engineers,
and Expressmen, the most exacting If watch>
| wearers, has tborougly demonstrated the strength
steadness, durability and accuracy of the Wal.
| than Watch. To satisfy that class in all these
respects, is to decide the question as to the real
value OF these time keepers.
More than 4oo, 900 of these watches are now
speaking for themselves 10 the pockets of the
people, proof and guarantee Of their superi-
ority over all others.
The superior organization and great extent OF
the Company's Works at Waltham, enable them
to produce watches at a price which renders
composition futile, and those who buy any other
watch, merely pay from 25 to so per cent more
for their watches than is necessary.
We are now selling Waltham Watches at less
prices in greenbacks, than the gold prices before
the war. There is no other manufacture of auy
kind 10 the United States of which this can be
said.
These time-pieces combine every improvement
that long experience has proved of real practi.
cal use Having had the refusal of nearly every
invention in Matchmaking originating in this
country, or in Europe, only those were finally
adopted which severe testing by the most skill
ful artisans in our works, and long use on the
part Of the public, demonstrated to be essential
to correct and enduring time keeping.
Among the many improvements we would
parlicularize:
The invention and use of q cenire> pnion of
peculiar construction, to prevent damage to the
train by the breaksge Of main springs, is origi,
nal with the American Watch Company, who
having had the refusal of all other contrvances
adopted Fogg's Patent piuion as being the hest
and fautless.
Hardened and tempered hair.springs, now uni,
versally admitted by Watchmakers to be the
best, are used in all grades of Wa;Aam Watches.
All Waltham Watches have dust>proof caps
protecting the movement from dust, and lessen>
ing the necessity of the frequent cleaning neces.
sary in other watches.
Our new patent stem-winder, or keyless watch
is alreadyG decided success and great improve.
ment on any stem winding watch in the Ameri.
can market, and by far the cheapest watch of its
quality now offered to the public.
To CALIFORNIANS and other living in por-
tions of the United States where watch makers
do not abound, watches with the above mention.
ed improvements which tend to insure accuracy,
cleanliness, durability and convenience, must
prove Invaluable
Every watch bearing the trade mark Of WAL
than is guaranteed to be a thoroughly reliable
timekeeper.
To prevent imposition, buyers should iuvari-
ably demand II certificate of genuineness.
