A skeleton of the rcmotest antiq-
uity-so it is said-has lately been
exhumed in the Caverne du Cavil-
lion, on the boundaries of France
and Italy, by NJ. Riviere, French
geologist. This gentleman remov-
ed his relic to Paris, and he is now
busily engaged on monograph of
the skeleton and its site. Through
the muniiccncc ofSir William Tite,
NJ. P, Mr.. Pcngelly, so well known
by his researches in Devon and
Cornwall, has been enabled to visit
Paris, where through the kindness
of NJ. Riviere he examined the skel-
eton at the Jardin des Plantes,
whence he proceeded to Montenone,
where armed with an order from
M. Riviere, he carefully examined
the explorations already made and
in progress in the cave IN which
the skeleton was found 1t is un-
derstood that as soon as NJ. Riviere
has published his memoir Mr.. Pen
gelly will read a paper upon the age
of the skeleton and the ethnic affin-
ities of the race TO which it belong

Wedding Presents.

A writer on the subject of wed.
dings says: There is scarcely any
one who would refuse an invitation
to wedding, yet an invitation to
a wedding carries on its face, i'm
pressed upon it as plain as the mon
ogram which it bears, the words
"social blackmail." A wedding now
a-days means plenty of money and
plenty of presents. 1t requires the
recipient not only to be present,
but to bring presents, and if tho
parties decline to accede to the first
condition they arc expected to full
fill the second. There is no expires.
sion of love or respect in these gifts;
they are purchased and given be-
cause they must be, and this both
the receiver and giver we'll under
stand. There are instances where
presents are given out of pure love,
but they are SO very rare that they
are mere drops in the sea of hypoc-
risy.
Persons OF moderate means often
deprive themselves of some luxury,
and even 60 without some of the
necessarics of life, in order to make
present which will equal that of
a wealthy guest. The case is by no
means exceptional, for the ways
and material for the gossip, who
generally spreads such reports. The
Chinese mode of making wedding
presents is a great Improvement on
ours, and the custom might be in
troduced here with profit. Tho
"Heathen Chinee" sends costly
presents of silk, china and other
precious things to his friends on
these festive occasions and they are
displayed with great pomp and cir
cumstance, butare never used. They
are carefully put away and when
the next wedding or feast comes off
these presents are sent, and SO keep
circulating from house TO house,
very often coming back 70 the orig
NAL giver.

The Reason Why.

We wish our Democratic readers
to understand that VIC do not abat'
one particle from our expressed an
tagonism TO Horace Greeley. W.
rcassert every charge that wo have
made against him heretofore. W.
do not yet believe that he can bca'
Grant, and will not believe it unit
We SEQ unmistakablc signs of {
greater strength with his former
adhorcnts than he has developed
since his nomination. We honest
ly believe that his election will be
the death of the democratic party
of the Union and the States.
With the death Of this party and
tho consequent trampling under
footW its great principles, we see
no hope in the future for Republi-
can government in America, with.
out another bloody revolution. Be-
lieving this, if we lived in u North
ern State, whose homo government
was deccntly administered, with no
choice but Grant or Greeley, we
should not vote at all. Then why
do we vote for him you say. Be-
cause the salvation of ourState, the
liberty of our people, the prospcri-
ty, the safety of our friends and our
families. all depend upon tho carly
defeat of radicalism in Texas.
We must all work together to
beat Davis and his unprinciplcd
minions. We must suffer nothing
to come between us. The election
or defeat of Greeley or of Grant is
nothing with us compared to the
defeat of b. j. Davis and the elec-
ton of an honest, intelligent Ligis-
laturc in the place of the corrupt
and ignorant things, who have done
all in their power to ruin the State
In this state of affairs, the existence
of u third party, which might grow
out of our differences would be ruin.
To prevent this and to keep our
true people together, We are willing
to see Greeley, Grant, or the Devil,
President of the United States.
We are prepared to sacrifice par
ty, and to lay all our hopes for the
future Of the Republic upon COM
mon altar. We did not watch by
the cradle of Democracy ; we can
follow its hearse we can stand by
its yawning grave and sec it laid
"slowly and sadly down y VIC can
stife our grief, and ture from the
spot to seek consolation in the fu-
turo. Yet, we would wash our
hands of the dead we arc no party
to the assassination, and when, in
" not distant future, the ghost of
dead democracy shall stalk abroad
and cause the souls ofsomo to quake
and their guilty. conscienccs to ac-
cuso them, we can stare it fairly in
the face; with hand on heart, we
can thus address it, "shake not thy
CORY locks at me, thou canst not
say did it !"-Brenhdm Times.

How Judge Davis Became Rich.

The Hartford Times says: Judge
Davis, ofIllinois, is Il rich man. The
public may not know how he be-
came wealthy. About thirty.five
years ago, when Judge Davis was
practising lawyer in the west, he
was employed by q Connecticut
man TO collect $500. Davis went
to the place whore the debtor lived,
and found him to be rich in landed
possessions, but without a spare dol
lar in money. He finally settled
the bill by giving deed for q tract
Of land-a fiat, moist and undesir
able pcice of land in appearance,
lying close by a sheet of water, and
consisting of perhaps 60 acres. Da-
Wis consequently met the Connect
cut client in st. Louis, when tire lat
ter (who seemed not to have the
usual Connecticut shrewdness) fell
to and gave him a regular "blowing
up" for taking tho land rather than
insisting upon taking the $500 in
cash. He didn't want any of your
western land, and ho told Davis
that having accepted it in.payment
for the debt, he had better keep it
himself, and pay over the money
out of his own pocket. To this Da-
Wis agreed. Stepping into a friends
office he borrowed $500, took the
Connecticut mans receipt for the
land, and held the land for rise.
That land now forms part of one Of
the suburbs of Chicago. Judge Da-
Wis has sold two or three hundred
thousand dollars worth of 1t, and
has nearly a million dollars worth
left. 1t is a striking example of
what the possession of western prop
erty has done for its western hold
er; and as the story has never been
printed we thought it would be in
terosting enough to publish.

thrown out of society or suffering all the
privations ofa frontier life. The members
of the colony will meet a my residence,
ten miles N. L. of Fort Worth on tho 10Th
day of October next, all prepared to start.
Many families have already Joined the
colony and many more are expected to do
so. Now, let ALL who want homes, send
in their names and they shall be welcomed

When the river ripples by,
And the passing zePhyr's sigh.

Words OF love and words OF woe,

But it was our last "Good.by !"

GRATITUDE.

Danton's exclamation seems to
have become Il rule of conduct since
this Administration came into pow
per, with its train of vul gar merce.
narics and speculating patriots.
What the Frenchman claimed as
the virtue Of a revolution, is now
copied as model for political sue
cess. "Audacity, again audacity,
al Gays audacity," may be regard
ed as the motto Of Radical PARTISAN
ship. Take the following ilustra-
ton from u speech by member Of
the Board of Public Works, at tho
ratification failure the other night :
need not remind you, fellow
citizens of the District Of Columbia,
of the debt of gratitude we owe to
President Grant. No other Presi-
dent has ever had the courage to
extend such helping hand to this
neglected ward Of the nation, or to
exhibit such an earnest interest in
our welfare.
A debt of gratitude to Gen. Grant
from tho people Of this district |!
What has he done to deserve it
In what way has he ever manifest
ed the least interest in their affairs,
except to appoint to office the Tam
many Ring, which is now seeking
to confscale their property by tax
alton, to burthen them with debt,
and to appropriate these spoils for
their own use. 1t is base calum.
ny upon "evcry other President" to
deny the friendly offices which they
voluntarily rendered, by recommen-
dations to Congress. Gen. Grant,
in his first annual message, omitted
all mention of tho District, which
his predecessors had uniformly ta-
ken pains to bring into favorable
notice.
The city has had no greater enc
my than Gen. Grant. In two years
he has done moro to injure it in
public estimation, and TO deprive it
of the benefits incident TO the seat
of Government, than all other caus-
es combined. His protracted ab-
scnce from Washington during the
whole summer, followed as it is by
that of the Cabinet and the princi-
pal public officers, is notice that
the great public business of the
country, is suspended, and that the
Departments are substantially clos
cd, except for the merest routine.
The effect upon local trade and
travel has been disastrous in the
extreme, and it is estimated that
several millions of dollars would
not compensate the loss to this
community, occasioned by the
Presidents culpable and shameful
neglect of duty. The law suppos-
es him to be here, and he signs pa
pers and commissions at Long
Branch constructively at Washing
ton. This deception involves
large outly, as a special messenger
must be daily despatch to the sea.
side, and the more important bust
ness put away for future considera-
ton.
1t i'll becomes one of the Presi-
dents Office holders, who knows
how Washington has suffered in
every interest by his wilful aban
donment of duty, to stand up before
an outraged people, and commend
him to their gratitude" Benefi-
ciaries who have swindled the COM
under his protection, and
who are now revelling on their ill
cotton gains extorted from poor
property-holders, may be grateful.
We look forward with hope and
confidence TO relief from such a
banefactor, and from the plundcr-
ing crow whom he has imposed up
on us, with full knowledge of their
outrages : Washington Patriot.

Requiescat,

Moro was buried with you, love.
Than Just the beautiful clay
You left to chill the passionate kiss,
When you passed from our life away.
More was buried with you, love,
Than tho spring of your young rcnown,
And tho glow ofthe fresh green laurel leaves,
That were weaving to make your crown.
More was buried with you, love,
Than golden hopes and dreams,
Than air. the glitterlng halo hung
Round true hearts noble schemes.
For oh when tho heavy sods lay straight,
In the black December weather,
The light of home and the strength ofa life,
Were left meath their weight together.
There were many around your grave, love,
with an honest tear and prayer,
But one, as she knelt beside II, knew
Her youth, TOO rested there.

We take pleasure in presenting to our readers a
new feature in the journal. We have undertaken
task which has heretofore never been performed
IN tins State, of preparing comprehensive and
concise Biography of each member elect to the
Legislature. This has involved an amount of
labor that will readily be appreciated by the men,
bers themselves and the public. That these
brief sketches will be found convenient for refer
ence and as means of introducing the members
elect to each other, we have no doubt. For the
main facts in these sketches we have relied upon
Information derived from the members elect of
both branc hes. Some have more space given
them than others, not because all do not deserve
to have equal space, but for the reason that we
found it difficult in many cases to obtain the bare
statistics, without word of "incident' or "prin-
cipal events" to gil up the gaps.
We have arranged the biographies alphabet
cally and given a recapitulation of ages, profess
sion, religion. politics, &C., preceding the Biogra-
phies of each branch.
