GxcIoaY AND MAx.-Iast tvsR!hE. ~ Ar
cana Hall, Prof Denton delivered the first Of
his series of lectures ON the above named sub
ject. The hall was completely filed and the
audience seemed to appreciate to high degree
the off hand and well attested statements of the
speaker.
He placed the commencement of the human
race very far back of the six thousand years
ordinarily attributed to it-back of the glacial
period even, as early, indeed, as the drift form
atoms. He classed the existence of early hui
manity under three ages, the pre-glacial, the
inter-glacial, and the post-glacial; but confined
his statements mainly to the first of these. At
the time of their existence, Europe was covered
with dense forests, and the difference between
the peoples was even greater than at the pres
emit day. One race had strong frames and
enormously thick skulls. Another were less
powerful, with narrow heads and thin features,
somewhat resembling the Australian savages
of the present day The third were much small
Ter, with rounder heads, but strong and muscu-
lar considering their size. All were covered
with hair. These men lived in caves, went
naked and hunted the savage animals that In-
tested the forests-the enormous cave bear, the
cave hon, the woody rhinoceros, &C. He was
a canibal, Toasted on his own species, ate his
food raw, and was exceedingly coarse and brutal.
The professor cited many of the most learned
and eminent authorities in proof of his positions.
His next feature will be delivered at the same
place on FRIDAY evening next

already sent in. the work of adjustment will DO
