GREAT GIANTs.-In one Of his recent
lectures Professor SilIiman, the younger,
alluded to the discovery of tie skeleton
Of an enormous lizard OF eighty feet
From this the professor inferred as no
living specimen Of such magnitude has
been found, that the species which it
represents has become degenerated. The
verify of his position he endeavored to
enforce by allusion to the well-known
existence of giants in olden times. The
following is the list upon which this sin
Sular hypothesis is based
The giant exhibited at Rouen, in 1880,
the professor says, measured nearly eigh-
teen feet.
Gorapius saw girl that was ten feet
high.
The giant Galabra, brought from Ara
bia to Rome, under Claudius Caesar, was
ten feet high.
The giant Ferreguss, slain by Orlan-
do, nephew of Charlemange, was twenty
eight feet high.
In 1911, near St. German, was found
the tomb of the giant Isorant, who was
not less than thirty feet high.
In 1880, near Rouen. was found
skeleton whose skull held bushel of
corn, and who was nineteen feet high
The giant Bacart was twenty-five feet
high; his thigh bones were found in
1704 near the river Moderi
In 1928, near the castle in Dauphine,
tomb was found thirty feet long, six
teen wide, and eight high, on which was
cut in gray stone these words s'kinto-
loehus Rex" The skeleton was found
entire twenty five and quarter feet
long, ten feet across the shoulders, and
five feet from the breast bone to the
back
We have no doubt that there were
giants in those days" And the past
was, perhaps, more prolific in producing
them than the present. But the history
of giants during the olden time was not
more remarkable than that of dwarfs,
several of whom were even smaller than
the Thumbs and Nuts of our own time.

Under the next apportionment for
members of Congress, New England is
likely to lose six representatives., New

Ohio, it is thought. will lose one, and
the gain will fall mainly upon the upper

which the Eastern and Middle States
could retain their present number Of
Representatives would be by an increase
of the whole number Of members. In
any event theirpo 10 Congress will be

EVIDENCES OF Foul PLAY.-We
are informed that one morning of last week
some passer-by discovered considerable
human hair, viii CHI from its length evident
ly Belonged to q woman, and clots of blood,
on The west end of the Boughton bridge.
The blood was scattered good deal on the
timbers and embankment, and the hair
lay around promiscuously, showing every
indication of severe struggle, and giving
rise to the suspicion of ioul play. There
is something certainly mysterious about
this matter, and we do not wish to arouse
any undue excitement over it, bat we
should like to have it cleared up.

MAGIC VEIL.-The performance of
the Magic Veil, given by the members of the
Turner Theatrical Society of this city, on
Friday evening last, was superb and bril-
liant, and we have no hesita ton in saying
that finer piece both in the acting and
seen ic effect, was never before presented to
our citizens. The scenery was magnificent
beyond description, and the several parts of
the actors were all ably rendered. For fine
acting and splendid scenery, the plays
given by our Turner Society can not be ex-
celled, and the English speaking portion Of
our population need not think that it
would be irksoms to them to witness such a
piece as the "Magic Veil" although given
in a foreign tongue, for the scenic effect is
so beautiful that their most earnest attention
can not be avoided.

scarcely few seconds had elapsed before
the child precipitated herself into the pan

great agony. So much has been said about
the carelessness of parents and others, in
subjecting children to accidents of this kind.
