ANOTHER PREHISTORIC SKUII.-An in
tere>tinr discovery has been made near
Orcana Nevada. by a gentleman who is
visiting some friends here. While stroll
ing about in the foothills north of the town
he found in n small gull7. where it had
been laid bare 10y the action of the water
a petrilicd human skull OF very peculiar
shape. the interior of which is filled with
crystals Of a beautiful green color The
peculiar shape of this skull shows bevond
a doubt that lis owner belonged to pre-
historic age, or at least to 4 race long en-
tinct. The space between the ewes is at
least three times rs great Is in the average
human head, and the extreme tatne>> of
the upper part, where the organs of VEN
Grafton are supposed 10 exist. causes it to
more closely resemble the cranium of Il
gigantic ape than that of II modern man
\ part Of the front part has been broken
out 10y contact with some hard substance.
but enough remains to stamp it Undeniably
human skull. 1t is now on eNhibi-
ton At the depot. Thc discoverer. Mr..
Waite. thinks of sending it to the >mithso-
nian Institute but Will leave it where it is
for the present, in order to give everybody
Il Glance to inspect little .>lrtr State.

rha Demand for Loans Continues, Al
though the Building Season
Has Closed,
An Improvement in Collections
Mo More Loans at
Seven Per Cent,
Few Sales Of Interest During the
Week, and Few Inquiries.
LARGE Sale OF Real Estate in
New York---M1scella-
neous Items.

Pr month Of December has SO fer formed
,,u1to IN exception to the general current of
hnsiness at this time Of the year. There hns
been quite good inquiry for money. The
amount negotiated the past week WAS slightly
IN excess Of that for the corresponding period
last year, but the number OF those who could
nroduce the necessary collaterals Was consider
ably less. Those who are generally considered
moncyed-men with ample means are
the principal applicants. Indebtedness
must be secured; the evil day must
be deferred il possible by raising money
on real estate bought In prosperous
times. It is this that accounts for the pressing
demaud TINT has astonished loan agents. Build
fne enterprises are almost at stand-sti1l, and
no new applications for money for such enter
u1rises are expected for q month or two hence.
At the close Of the week there is noted falling
of in demand, and loan agents expect no great
activity for some time to come The payments
so far this month have been better than expect
I'd. and show quite an improvement over No
rember, which is another surprise to those who
are loaning money. Some few loans have been
negotiated at less than s per cent, but this low
figure is becoming q thing OF the past. The
general rate for real estate loans is from to 8
Der cent
The Important transactions of the past week
were Is follows:
? Van Buren, street, SO feet north front by 10
feet, southwest corner Of Throop street,
$s,500, three years at per cent

NO REGRET.

4 year ago, mourned because you died;
Because alone watched the ebbing tiGse;.
Because alone stood upon the shore,
And met your dreaming eyes no more, 40 more.
a rear ago, cursed the cruel fats
Which mndo my darkened life q thing to hate.
cursed the Spectre grim who bore away
MY love upon that fearful Autumn-day..
But passion-sr -sricf-has spent itself in tsars;
Alone, l calmly wait the weary years.
Much rather would lose this loped-for bliss
Than have yon live unworthy Of my kiss.

That once i trusted, in the long-ago.
