[From the London Timss.l
Rivals to POngO.

When DR.. Eduard Ruppell in 1885 published
his 'Neue Wirbelthiere zu der Fauna Won
ADyssrniien". be described ''monkcyy,, -=L..ccL -=L..cL
he met with in the districts of Haramat, Sem
len and Godjsm. He said it lives high up in
the mountains of these districts, from 1000 to
$500 feet above the sea level, passing its time
mostly on the ground and sleeping in caves.
He brought skin to Europe and gave col
orec figure of a male in his book. The name
he gave was Macacus Gelada, GelaGa being the
native name of the animal Since then other
skins have been brought to Europe and shown,
stuffed, in museums. One is in the British
Museum. Different naturaIists have assigned
different names, Gray calling it Gelada Rup-
pelii, Isodore Geffeire St Hilare calling 1t
Theiropithecus Gelada, and Lesson Cynocepha-
lus Gelada. Cynocephalus is, perhaps, the
most charac teristic generic name. No skele-
ton has reached Europe, and for long time
the chief knowledge we have had of thi s
mountain monkey has been Ruppeps de-
scrption. There have been accounts of troops
OF them descending to the plains aud fighting
their Hamadryad congenels, and Dr. Duncan
IN his history OF monkeys Just published by
Cassell, has from some source une arthed an
the caravan of Duke of Saxe-Goiha.
The first live specimens have Just reached
Europe, and six specimens have just been
sent via Hamburg to England by Messrs.
Rice and Hagenbeek and are at the Alexandra
Place. These are q large male, presumably
fully grown. small male, two females and two
young. The large male has a considerable
name, as Rupelli describes, and is hairy all
over the whole body, thongh Ruppell gives the
front legs free from hair. On the chest is q
somewhat heart-shaped pink patch free from
hair, and space round the throat of the same
color. When the animal becomes angry or ex-
cited these become a bright red color The
nostrils are high up from the upper Jaw, and
the upper lip is made so mobile that it is often
turned up SO as to show the whole of the upper
teeth and gums. The tail is long and large,
and ends in tuft resembling roughly lions
tail. The color of the hair is brown except
around the breast, where it is gray. The bare
part OF the chest shows two male indicatiO ms OF
teats and the suture seems to open into
pouch, which however it has not
been possible to examine, as the animal is still
somewhat savage after its journey. The female
has not such long hair as the male, and on the
bare space in front are two well-developed
teats. The young takes one in each hand and
sucks both at once. While these animals have
rejected all fruits, &C., they have eaten In
dian corn and grass, pulling it apart and
making it into little balls. As Ruppel says,
they sleep in caves; large box was introduced
into the cage and the whole of them soon went
into it, the old male remaining near the en-
trance on guard. The group is especially in
teresting to naturalists from the fact that these
are the first ever brought to Europe.

THE most careless observer of political
events must be impressed with the verifca-
tion of the old saying, that the Democratic
party has its head in the South and its tail in
the North, furnished by proceedings in the
House. 1t would require but very slight
chan ges in the organization perfected by the
majority of that body to render it more
complete representative Of the Confederacy
than the Congress which sat at Richmond
during the war. By few more partisan
changes in the North the ascendency of the
men who made great but vain efforts
to destroy the Republic will be complete. The
question is forced upon public attention
whether the party vanquished in the appeal
to arms shall come back as masters of the
nation. And all citizens who are not anx-
ious to complete such startling revolution
should stop to consider how nearly it ha s
been perfected.

IT is great advantage for the Presidential
party in France that there now is in the
public treasury a surplus of 21,50O, ,000f
nearly $4,500,000) of receipts over expendi-
ture. When the budget for 1878 is submit
ted to the National Legislature the Min
lister of Finance will propose to apply this
surplus to the reduction of the License tax,
of the biil-stamp dnty, and of the duty on
goods carried by rail. A reduction of the
postal and telegraphic rates. and of the duty
on wine, spirits, and malt liquor will also be
proposed. This favorable financial position
will doubtless be claimed as caused by the
good administration of M. Callaux, who
holds the portfolio of finance in the De Brog-
lie Ministry, appointed on the 18th of May,
but actually ought to be credited to M. Jean
Baptiste Leon Say, who was Minister of FL
nance under President Thiers, 1928, and
held the same Office in the Buffet and Jules
Simon Cabinets from March, 1875 to May 18,
1877. That there is a large surplus out of
which several taxes can be abolished or re-
duced is very strong trump in the game for
President MacMahon at this moment. It in
variably happens that reduction of taxation
turns away wrath, even in politically excited
populations. A nation falls into internal con.
vulsion. not when it is prosperous, but when
taxes press heavily, and agriculture, trade
and commerce are depressed.

The Anti.ResumptiOn Bill.

The anti-resumptionist and silver men
are losing no time in getting their wild
schemes before the House. Mr.. Ewing of
the banking and currency committee, and
the leading infationist of the country, appears
to have taken currency matters into his own
hands, regardless of the chairman of the
committee. He managed to secure test
vote Wednesday on the question of repeating
The resumption act, and had not time failed
him, would have been as successful with the
bill for the recoinage of the silver dollar.
The committee stood seven to three in favor
of non-resumption, but disagreement rose
between Ewing and Fort, the Illinois men,
ber desiring to save the free banking clause
in the third section. So on the final vote
the committee stood six to five in favor of
reporting the bill to the House. The pro-
vision relating to the fractional currency was
allowed to stand, the soft-money men not
thinking it worth while to make any contest
over a currency which is already nearly re-
deemed. Mr.. Ewing was about to take up
the silver bill, when Mr.. Eames defeated its
consideration by making the point that it
was twelve o'clock and the committee had no
right to sit during the session of the House.
So that measure still waits hearing, but
there is no doubt that a bill will be reported
for the restoration of the silver dollar, max
ing it unlimited legal tender for all debts,
public and private.
1t is charged that Ewing was guilty of bad
faith in his course after the repeal bill was
submitted to the House-a charge that hon
est men will bring against the entire pro-
ceeding. The understanding was that he
was to admit Forts amendment and then
have the bill recommitted. Instead of that
he moved to reconsider, and so got absolute
control of it, with power to call it up any
time. The proverbial honor among thieves
seems to have been wanting in this instance.
The motion for reconsideration forced the
test vote which the Eastern Democrats were
so anxious to avoid, and was carried by a
majority of twenty-five.
An analysis of the vote shows that of the
supporters of Ewing 107 were Democrats and
81 were Republicans, and that of his oppo-
nents 81 were Democrats and 95 were Re-
publicans. The strength of the reputation
movement is with the Democracy, and the
only hope Of the advocates of an honest cur
rency is to-day as 1t has been for decade
past, in the Republican party.

A SERIES of bills indicative of the drift OF
the extra session relate to the removal of the
few remaining political disabilities imposed
for participation in the rebellion; the repeat
of the iron-clad oath, the repeal of laws for
bidding the payment of claims to persons
who were not loyal, bills providing that the
direct taxes collected in the States in insur-
rection should be refunded, and the extraor-
dinary proposition introduced by Mr.. Ban
ming, the newly appointed chairman of the
Committee on Military Affairs, for the repea-
Of the law forbidding the employment in the
United States army and navy of persons who
were engaged in the military and naval ser
vice of the Confederacy.

our artists, for alas, of historical painting so
calleo, we have little or none. But one fact
must De clearly borne in mind, and that is,
that though it may be allowed to the artist
that ne is right in neglecting the minute resli-
zatlon OF detail II he finds it will interfere with
his pathetic or humorous or peaceful concep-
ton, yet it can never be granted that he is at
all right, or indeed anything but utterly and
unbesrably wrong when he, besides ngeiectiDg
natural fact, begins to falsify it,
We may excuse him for instance in
casting his pi ,ture into such a shade as will
obscure all but the masses of the foliage, or
the shining surface of the water; but never for
painting tree in full daylight as a confused
blotch OF color, without the spring of its boughs
and the curves of its leaves SO it is that the
French practice is apt to lead to such unreal
aud wretched results because the artists find
themselves at every turn incommoded by an al
most infinite series of natural facts which thew
have not learnt to master. The English prac-
tlce at present gives in many cases all the mate
rials OF picture without the vivifyiug spirit
which would make the dead bones alive:
while the French gives picture which is ex.
expressive enough as far as it goes, but which
is generally restrained to a very limited inter-
probation of nature from the artists incapacity
to fully represent her"
