PennsylvanIa vs.. Chic Democrats.

Ifthe Pennsylvania Democrats had
adopted the iOhole of the Ohio plat
form, tariff plank and all, the party in
the two States might havebeen regard
ed as one complete animal-the Ohio
end being the head and the Pennsyl-
vania end the tail; but the striking
out Of that plank, by the Pennsylva-
mia Convention, gives the party in
this State new position, directly the
reverse Of that Of its Ohio friends, SO
that the party in those two States, in
stead OF having head and a tail, has
two heads, one at each end, and look
ing different ways. 1t thus reveals
the history ofthe double-headed snake
of New England, the Amphisbaena,
of which Christopher Toppan wrote
to Cotton Mather: Concerning ye
Amphisbaena, as soon as received
your commands, / made diligent in
qniry: He assures me it had
really two heads, one at each end; two
mouths, two stings or tongues"

Fossil Discoveries.

Professor Marsh has discovered no
less than twenty.one different species
of the horse family, all American.
Some of these were no larger than q
fox, and others larger than any We
now have, some with four, three, ,;tEo,
and one toe. Professor Marsh has al
so found some fossil mosquitoes, feas
and bed bugs, but the appearance was
such as to show that they existed be-
fore man appeared. Besides, he has
also discovered fossil bats, monkeys,
oposums, foxes, huge turtles, eroco-
diles, not the poor aligstors, but five
species of genuine crocodiles, lizards,
serpents, "agigantic pachyderm near
ly rs large as an elephant" a 'irGmi-
mating hog" a gigantic rhinoeeros,
two extinct camels, and one carniyer-
Gus animal larger than q lion, all ex-
hibited themselves in proof that the
New World may claim an ancient
