SOME of the Democratic newspapers of
the country which know better, are fond OF
contrasting the expenditures of our gov
eminent with the cost of the English
government, greatly to the dscredit of the
former. Their plan is to take the appro-
priations made by Congress as indicating
the amount of expenditures, when it il
known that the votes are invariably larger
than the amount taken from the treasury !.
In recent number of The Pail Mall
Gazette we find quotation from a
New York journal, with sneering
comments on the extravaganza of
republican countries. Both the remarks
of our New York contemporary and the
sneers of the Pail Mall Gazette are with
out foundation. We compare below the
ordinary expenses of the two governments
for series of years. The only excluded
items are interest ON and redemption Of
the public debt and pensions. All the or
binary expenses are included, and English
pounds sterling are turned into dollars at
the rate of one of the former to five of the
latter, although the currency dollar is
worth less than four English metallic shl-
lngs:

This table shows that in spite of our
custom Of paying legislators and paying
them, We may add, their own price, and
notwithstanding our very large expenditures
in river and harbor improvements, public
buildings, etc., our disbursements have
steadily declined, while those Of Great
Britain as regularly increase. In 1870 it
cost Great Britain $67, 900, 900 more than
the United States in 1871 the difference
was $s0,0O0.o00; in 1872 no less than
500 ,000,0 900. The showing is remarkably
favorable for the United States, especially
when it is considered that our population
Is fully a third more than that of the Brit
ish isles.

antiquity OF MAN-REMARRABLE
nISTOVERV

1
1t has of late been the belief of large
class of men of science that the existence of
the human race on the earth dates much
further back than was generally supposed,
while the followers of Darwin and Lubbock
have claimed that the human race has been
in constant state of progression from bar
bsrism and british ancestry. Accounts
were given of human skeleton sunearthed
by the quarrymen in Nesnder valley, near
the Dussel, at Elbenfeldt, in Rhenish Prus-
STA. The professors pronounced it to be of
great antiquity, and were of the opinion that
the Neander man, whose bones possessed
in general tie same qualities which chsrac-
terize the bones Of the mammoth found
in neighboriDg districts, and enclosed
in the same diluvial loan, lived to-
gether with the mammoth and other
extinct animals of the drift period.
The skull was the subject of Measurement
and calculation of brain power. Its capa-
city was found TO be about equal to that of
the average Polynesian and Hottentot, ard
while the opinion of biologists differed in
regard to minor points, all admitted the
great antiquity of the skull and bones, A
discovery has just been reported in Kan
sas, which, if verified, is far more remsrka-
bic than the above described. The Usage
Mission (Ksnsas) Journal says that hu-
man skull was recently found near that
place imbeded in a solid!rock, which was
broken open by blasting. DR.. j. G. Weir
ley, of Usage Mission, compared it with q
modern skull which be had in his office,
found that it resembled the latter in its gen.
eral shape, though it was an inch and
quarter larger in its greatest diameter, and
much better developed in SONS other par
ticulars. He says Of the relic:
at is that of the Uranium of the human
species, CT large size, imbedded in con-
glomerate rock of the tertiary class, and
found several feet beneath the surface.
Parts OF the frontal, parietal and occipital
bones were carried away by explosion.
The piece Of rock holding the remains
weighs some forty or fifty pounds, with
many impressions of marine shells, and
through it there runs a vein of quartz, or
within the Uranium crystallized organic
matter; and, by the aid of a microscope,
presents beautiful appearance"
If this be fact, and it seems to bear the
impress Of truth in the description, neither
Lyell nor Hugh Miller, nor any of the rest
of the subterranean explorers report any
thing SO strange. The Neander man comes
the nearest to it, but the Nesnderthal bones
were found in loan only two or three feet
beneath the surface. This skull was dis
covered in solid rock. If the Kansas dis
covery be real, it is worthy Of a thorough
scientific investigation.

Considerable excitement exists in the
northwestern part of Missouri in regard
to the Texas cattle fever. The Hannibal
Courier says: "Some time in April last
Frank Taylor and his partner shipped into
Daviess county, by the Hannibal and st.
Joe Railroad, unloading them at Kidder, 265
Texas cattle. The cattle were grazed
mostly in Colfax township, Dayiess county,
and have been since all, or nearly all, sold
and reshipped. About week since, in the
trail Of their range, the Texas fever broke
ont among the native cattle, and up to this
time some 800 have died. The disease acts
rapidly. The animals seized with it droop
and die in from two to six days. Mich
cows at once go dry. One farmer lost fifty
nine head out Of seventy. Citizens have had
to turn out and dig trenches to bury the
dead animals to prevent the spread of the
disease, and The engendering ola pestilence.
The region in which this cattle pest is
prevalent is one of The best stock districts
in the Northwest. The loss will probably
be large. The excitement is great, and the
feelings of the people are represented to be
against the summer importation of Texas
cattle. Suits have been commsnced against
Taylor, who, becoming alarmed, attempted
to fly the couu ry, but was arrested and
brought back. 1t is also said that some
six or eight suits have been commenced
against tie Hannibal and st. Joe Railroad
Company" erEE
This cattle plague is produced by known
parasite Of vegetable nature and has some
features like the cholera parasite in man
kind. 1t is known that csttle become so
naturalizsd to this fuDgoid poison that it
affects them very little in Texas; yet car
ried north where this fungus does not gen.
orally exist, and where stock are wholly un-
accustomed to it, and it kills cattle by hun
dreds and thousands. In the same way,
person may spread the germs of cholera
without Its symptoms.
