head the OK, etc. A third one OF
larger size than tho last had rudi.
mental horns on the nose. Still an.
other was about as large as the ele.
phant. Its cheek bones were euor.
mously expanded, and its horns were
fiat. A fifth species had triangular
horns, turned outward. The first.
mentioned species has been named
by Prot Cope, miobasileus ophryas,
and tho others have been placed IN q
new genus. 1t is claimed by Prof.
Cope that their structure disproves
entirely the statement of . recent
writer, that the presence Of horn. In
pairs is an indication OF relationship
to the ruminating animals (oxen, etc.)
for these beasts arc quito near the
rhnoscerOs. ! -. -
Carniyerous species were not rare
in this ancient family, and served a.
now, TO check the too rapid increase.
OF the fourteen species known there
were tiger cats, dogs, hyacnodons,
and the tomarctos, new genus
found by Prof. Cope. This resem.
hlcs the dog, and was about as large
as the black bear, but was much
more carniverous in its propensi,ies.
Hyacnodons were as large and had
as many flesh teeth; while some Of
the cats had remarkably long canine,
or eye-,ceth. In new species, the
size Of panther, these teeth greatly
resembled those OF shark.
The reptiles embrace turtles, liz
ards and snakes, the last two orders
discovered tor the first time III this
formation in America.
All these curious, extinct forms OF
llio will be carefully described for the
seventh annual report Of the gcologi
cal survey of tho Territories, under
the December Department of the
Interior, and in the quarto series full
illustrations will be made of all tho
new species. Prof Cope has already
obtained from the ancient sea and
lako deposits OF Kansas, Colorado,
Wyoming and Idaho, about 800
species OF vertebrate animals, OF
which he has made known TO
science for the first time about 200.

Debris from a Graveyard ir
the Colorado Bad Land.

SIR Tho barren, treeless plains
OF the far west are at this time invest
ed with a singular aud profound in,
terest to the man Of science.
One OF the most remarkable re.
suits Of the United States Geological
Survey, under my charge during the
last season, was the discovery by
Prof. Cope, in the Bad Lands of Col.
orado, OF one of thnsa wnndn-fnl
[graveyards OF long past period,
distinct from that Of Wyoming, aud
containing the osscous remains Of q
great population OF beasts OF total
ly different species aud even orders,
from those OF the latter day and re
gion. They resemble moro nearly
those of The White River, of Ne
braska, but many have been obtained
by Prof. Cope, not known here or
elsewhere. So far he has proven
the existence of moro than one hun
dred species, some represented by
thousands of individuals. OF these
1t least seventy species arc new to
science. They range from the size
of mole 10 nearly that OF an ele-
phant; sixteen species only are rep
tiles.
Many forms OF insec:iverous ami,
mails related to the mole, aud OF very
small size. have been procured. The
dellcacy and mlnuteness cf these fos-
sils, is surprising.
Gnawing animals, or rodents, left
numerous remains of eighteen spe.
cies, some not larger than the do
mestlc mouse. Some were the pro.
decessors Of the rabbits, others OF
squirrels and mice.
OF cloven-tooted quadrupeds a
great many specimens have been
found. Some were nearly INTERN O.
diate between the deer and the hog
in structure. Like the latter, they
had no horns. They were about ~
large As sheep. Others were about
the size Of gray squirrels, being the
smallest OF this class of animals ever
discovered. Several species Of hor
ses were living during the same peri
cd, as is proven by tho bones ant
teeth which have been discovered
Their relative, the rhinosceros
aboundcd III Colorado in former
days, no less than seven species hav

Several States are at this tino
making amendments to their fun
damental laws. Among tho pro.
hlbitory provision which are enun-
ciatsd IN most positive manner are
those treating lotteries as an offense
This is modern improvement in tho
social system, and good one. It
is only short tim, back since lot
terry schemes were protected by law,
and were participated IN by tho
State. In some parts of the country
this policy is still practiccd. Lot.
terles are not, ho wever, the only
species OF pernicious gambling that
need denunciation. Under special
ard general legislation an immense
number of incorpo. ated associations
have sprung up all over the country.

OF the sum thoy subscribe for, and
the stock is atserward brought up to

ton OF new stock, scrip, or vouchers;
the original subscribers, oa the
"ground floor" as it is called, are
made whole by this species of
watering" The dilutions are placed
on the market under various sub.
terfuges This species of false pre-.
tense Is not confined TO the so called
money centers. but pervades all sec.
tions of the country. Insurance
companies are notably raised every
where under the way promise that
but a small per centage ot the sub.
scriptlon will ever be called for. 1t
is remarkable what a number Of res.
pectable persons lend their names
and inhcnce to securing the con.
tidcnce Of the community on such
subterfuges.
They may not intend to defrand
the public, and do not, perhaps, re-
fleet that they supply tho instrument
for that purpose. II, however, tho

their corporators might be left to

than 4 fundamental prohibitory law
will effectually remedy this evil.
The proposition is well worthy the
attention Of legislators and delegates
who have now under consideration
constitutional amendments. Some.
thing in the following form would
meet the issue: mo corporation in

PHILADELPHIHs INDUsTRIEs,'AND THEIR
REMOVAL

The removal Of Norris. Tasker, Il Co.'S works
from Philadelphia to New Castle impels the
North American to moralize on the matter 1t
Ascribes the change to the "local clamor' which
induced the City Council to withhold sufficient
railway facilities, though it admie that it is pro-
bable the removal ais in some degree based
upon the increasing burdens OF taxation, which,
undoubtedly, are heavy, and which the great es-
"tAbishmext can escape by going beyond our
borders.n
High taxes are ruinous to great Industries. A
commercial city can support them. "cA.th
comes easily, and when it has once secured a
commanding position in trade, like New York
and New Orleans, it may support, at least for a
while, an extravaganza of expenditure which
would ruin manufacturing city. Philadelphia
debts and taxes are growing too heavy. They VIII
drive other establishments besides tine Pascal Iron
Works, II their burden is increased. And here
in is q lesson for ourselves. Our great adyan-
tages, as a manufacturing city, are largely made
up OF cheap living, and moderate rate Of taxa

mand its increase, for several important objects
OF investment, but ITS growth must be jealousy

OF necessity.

ever that such removals iniure the parties NOV

HowARDM. JENKINS,
EnT40a.

The lawyers, the lobbyists, the distressed wives
and dissatisfied husbands-all sorts Of importu-
nate parties in interest-willta take an early train
for Dover. Themembers Of the Legislature will
be beset, now, very promptly. The House, yester1
day, saopteda resolution looking 10 a check an

rscrminAtion, .characterizing the divorce jobbery
as"'a growing evil that ought to be arrested. ;
This is step Of the right kind. We only hope
the position will be maintained. But, as we
have already remarked, the members Of the Leg
sisiature may expect to be at once beset
by swarm of lobbyists in all DISCUSSES,

appeal, and persuasion, il by nothing more
tangible. Two years age, an attrac-

as well as unlearnsd common people, to know

sembly could be equally influenced to resolve
itself ridiculous, and repeal to-day what
it solemnly enacted yesterday. by the
charms of one adroit female, we really cant say.
with confidence till the experiment il tried.
The easiest way in this business is the right way.
1t is to give prompt notice that divorces will not

general statute let those who want divorce 90

matrimony are loosely assumed by those who
think them easily thrown OF, and nothing tends

A SHORT sEss1oN-WHY NOT!

We are glad to note that Mr.. MAris, of this
city, has already taken steps to urge the Legisa-
ture to prompt and business-like discharge of
It's duties He proposes to adjourn, sine de, on
February It'll, and there is no reasonable doubt
that IL all the members were sincerely anxious to
forward business, and economic in tho public
expenditure, everything might be entirely ready
to close at that date. The disposition not to
consider the divorce applications, IL adhered to,
will shorten the session at least ten days.
It is true that the resolution was not adopted,
but we hope it will be- The delegation from this
County, no doubt will support it, unanimously,
concurring in the judgment which caused Mr.
Maris to offer it. A long, tedious slow session
is wasteful of time and money, and not unfre
quenty barren of good legi Station. A digent
attention to the real work for which the Genera
Assembly convenes will produce better results
and enable both Houses to adjourn, even at sc
early time as that now proposed.
