TIE ORIGINAL MAN.-Iitrper's monthly for August has good caricature on the Oar winian theory of evolution. It represents a Chimpanzee female infant born with a short tail, which its maternal pareat discovers. with true motherly instinct, to be an out. growth of evolution, and that through her offspring the race is advancing. She seeks a husband for her daughter among the baboon tribe and they have an offspring which pug zles all the Chimpanzec aud balloon sci entists to classify. They finally concluded to call it man. IL Is on this theory that Mr. Underwood. of Denver, bases his lecture, an extract from which we copy to-day.

It is not often that we are accused of
 misrepresentation, and when such an accu-
 sation is made it is pleasure to know that
 our accusers, and not tho MINER, are in the
 wrong.
 On Saturday we were rather glad, for his sake, that Anton Wcis, who had attempted to kill himself, had the excuse of drunken ness to account for so rash and unreasona-
 ble an act, Accordingly We said that he
 was "a victim of whisky without pretend ing to know what brand of whisky, or who sold it or gave tito him All We attempted to tell. as a matter of news, and ip justice to the victim, was, that he had been drunk the night before, and as a result ol said drunkenness had become tired and dis gustcd with life, and shot himself in the head.
 To this view of the case some of our neighbors took exception, and seemed Co think we had started out to run muck against whisky. Now the fact lA we did not blame the whisky, nor the man that made it or sold it. Everybody knows what whisky will do if il has g chance, and the man who drinks it is the one to look torIt, but sometimes they fail to Use the neces- sarv precaution until the habit of drinking becomes disease as was evidently the cese with WeiS. and it is a comfort to know that he had such q disease, rather than that be should have gone in his cool senses and tried to take his own life.
 Our subsequent investigation has proven that we were entirely right in the premi-cs, and that he was not only noisy and drunk the night before but had Co Ue taken away from the gambling tables down town, where he was making SD much disturbance that quiet, well disposed persons were unable 10. gamble in peace.

TRIED TO BREAK JAIL.-M. A. Vance convicted last week of robbing the stage and mail at Woolsey Canyon, last winter, and J. A. Lewis. accused by the Grand Jury of numbering his wife. were discovered this morning m the act of trying to escape from the County Jail The logs of which the floor is constructed, as We have several times had occasion 10 remark, are quite rot- ten. and can almost be dug away with the naked hands. These two prisoners were aware of the vulnerable characterof the bar rier that stood between them and their lib. erty. and had by some means become pos scssed of an old knife-bsde with which they succeeded in removing a section of the floor, large enough to admit the body oi a man. and had worked like beaver digging away the dirt with their hands m order [" get hole open tO the outside, and had sue ceeded in getting daylight through when the guard, (kog,tcadt, whom they supposed 10 be asleep. but who was, m reality, watch ing them all the while, told them they had gone far enough, and would have to give ua the job.
