The MISSING L1NK.-Mr. Dsrwins

human beings. said to resemble race
of monkeys, whichis given by the Siran
Weekly Advertiser: "On the IsIaaa
Of Borneo has been found certain
race of wild creatures, Of which kind
red varieties have been discovered in
the Philippine Islands, in Terra del
Fuego, and ini South Amerca. They
walk usually almost erect. on two legs.
and in that attitude measure about four
feet in height. They construct 20
habitations, form 90 families, scarcely
associate together, sleep in caves and

ants eggs, aud each other They caG-
not be tanned or forced to any labor.
and are haunted and shot among the
trees like the great gorilla, of which
they are stunted copy. When cap

their uncouth jabbering sounds are like
arsiculate language. They turn upaa
human face to gaze at their captcrs,
and females show the instinct of mo-

HEAD OFF.-Mr. Reed, who has
served with com ,lete satisfaction to
everybody, for some years, as messen-
ger in the rooms Of the State Histori-
cal Society, has been removed to make
place for some new recruit to the Be
form party. This has been done agaiast
the protest of Mr. Draper, the Secre-
tary and remonstrance against the
change numerously signed by our
people of all parties. Mr. Reed was
good soldier during the war; most
attentive and capable officer; but he
votes the Republican ticket The
persons placed in positions in the rooms
Of this Society, have never been select
ed on political grounds at all. Messrs.
Draper and Durrie, the Secretary and
librarian for the last twenty years, are
bosh Democrats, and have never been
objected to on that ground But now
a messenger, who was a soldier. but Is
Republican, superior man for the
position, Industrious, capable and
honest must give place to Reformer-
Such is Democratic reform. Who is
the next man ?-Modison Journal.
The NATIONAL CENTENNIAL.-
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 25.--An
immense mass-meeting, to take a,tion
looking to the immediate erection Of
the Centennial Exposition building
and vigorous prosecu ton of the work,
was held to night at horticultural Hall.
The main hall being inadequate to ac-
commodate the crowd, an auxiliary
meeting was convened in the lower
hall of the building. James Neal and
Colonel J. w Forney were Chairman.
Delegations from the large industrial
establishments attended in a body.
with music and banners, and nearly all
the trades, professions and occupations
of the city were represented by their
most influential men, among whom tho
feeling was universal that the interna-
tional character of the exposition can
not, by any possibility, be allowed to
fail.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL %, 1874.
UNITED STATES SENATORSHIP.

And now it is reported on un-
doubted authority that in no event
vail Hon. Alexander Mitchell be-
come q candidate tor United States
Senator from this state, from March
Eth, 1875, but, that his influence will
be cast in favor of DR.. o. W. Wight,
through whose efforts mainly the Re-
fcrm-Democratic party was built up.
Ha. should the Democratic Reformers
have majority in the next Legislature
re fancy We see DR.. Wight carrying
off the highest laurels with such vii.
ling Barkises standing around, as H.
L. Palmer, George B. Smith, Gabe
Bouck, Pinney, Gregory and others,
equally prominent, as old wheel horse
democrats that might be mentioned.
Not much Dr. Wight is very good
in his place, but it would hardly be a
popular idea with the Reformers that
his place is in the United States SEN
ate.

WASHINGTON April l9.-There is as
yet not official indication concerning
the Presidents action on the Finance
bill, but the general impression is that
he will approve it. Friends of the
measure are confident in this belief,
and some of them give as the reason
for it the expression of hope in the
Presidents last annual message that
"the best measure may be arrived at
to secure such an elasticity of currency
as will keep employed all the industries
of the country, and prevent such an
imitation as will put off indefinitely re-
sumption Of specie payments" and
the further remark of the President
;'that the decision of Congress on this
subject will have the hearty support of
the Executive"
GREEN BAY, WIS.,, April 2O.-The

from the bay up into Fox river, SO that
the river is rising rapidly. The track
of the Wisconsin Central Railroad,
running along the river between here
and Depere, is overAowed in many
places, and the embankment is wash
ing away. The early morning train
passed over, but since then the con-
dition of the road has become so bad
that no trains can now pass.
