MORNING APPEAL.
SECOND LECTURE ON GEOLOGY.

Professor Cunning delivered the second of
a course of lectures on geology, at the Pres
byterian church, last evening, the title of his
discourse being The Beginning Of Man, or
Man in the Geologic Period.
The earth's account of men and mans &C
count of himself, rendered geologically in
fossil, customs and superstitions and modes
Of speech, would be our theme tonight. The
past holds man as by spell Five thousand
seven hundred years ago Egypt was out in
the full light Of history. Four thousand two
hundred years ago China was out in the
morning twilight Of history an empire I'm
der the Hia dynasty. Back Of these dates
the historian can not take Us, but science can
sec where history may not. China, who sits
within her walls as the sphinx on her sand
and bides the flow Of the centuries as immov-
able as she, is fossil, and belongs to the gool-
ogist. Surnamos in China are survivaIs of
old tribe names. Persons Of the Same name
arc not allowed to intermarry. Al Sin can
not marry Sep Sin. The Introduction Of
marriage between members Of the same tribe
ment of the tribe. We must infer that the
Chinese were once cut up into barbarous
tribes, the men Of one tribe capturing their
wives from the women Of another, The
speaker applied this method to the study Of
other peoples. We are all in some sense Iv-
ing fossils.
By the study of fossils in the dress and the
mind the speaker showed that the American
Indians were an early of5hoot from the same
stalk as the Chinese. He showed that hui
mainly began most likely On 4 tropic CONT
nent, whose mountains and highlands sur
vive to-day in the islands of the Pacific; that
man spread first into Africa, then into Asia,
then into America, and last into Europe.
His methods brought UP against the fact
that the race in f4r-of ages lowered on
women lived well nigh in proniscuity. |
From these methods which were semi
geologic, the speaker passed into geology
proper. This section Of the lecture it is i'm !
possible to give an abstract Of, as it was ad
dressed largely to the eye through delinea-
lions on the blackboard The conclusion
reached was that man had been on the globe
a great many thousand years.
Some of our leading citizens have deter
mined to put forth an organized effort to
I'll the house We think that our people
cannot afford to lose these lectures Two
more will be delivered covering the great
questions Of science and dealing with our
local geology. The subject for Tuesday
night will be The Origin Of Animals-the
Problem of Darwinism in the light of late
discoveries in the West.

PALTsADE Coal MINES, says the Silver
State of Thursday The owners of the Pal
isade coal mine have started tunnel to cut
the vein at a considerable depth. The vein
is large on the surface and the matter which
it contains burns freely and makes an intense
heat, but its bulk is not materially reduced
by combustion. Experts predict that good
article of coal will be found when depth is
attained. Governor Bradley, J. S. Mayhugh
and NJ. P. Freeman, of Elko, have located
an extension of the vein and are going to
work to develop it,

THE RED MANS HOME. - The Reveille
makes public one of its recent discoveries, as
follows The Indians do not believe there is
no place like home. Their homes consist only
of huts made of brush and bits of cloth, and
contain no stoves or pianos or walnut bedroom
sets, or lounges or extension tables, or mar
ble-top centre tables. In fact they lack
many Of the articles which are necessary to
the enjoyment of comfortable, but even
humble life, Lacking these necessaries Mr..
Indian and his families wrap themselves in
their blankets and roam the streets by day,
only returning to their comfortless wickiups
to play poker and and sleep and freeze at
night Many of the women perform mental
offices at various households in the daytime,
but return to their camps at night and it is
seldom that an Indian male or female, can be
induced to sleep in a house. With all it's dis
comforts and hardships, they prefer the wick
iups to q comfortable abode.

The ReveiIle man seems to be looked up
by the indians of his section as the opposite
Of a divorce court. Wednesdays issue of
that paper tells the following story
This afternoon the Piute Indian who cleans
the streets came into our sanctum, accompa-
MED by a very sorrowful looking member of
the Piute tribe, and stated that his compan-
ion had lost his wife, and requested US to
& heap gig EN- paper The soary looking
Indian then handed US a paper on which was
written the following words, addressed to the
editor of this paper "Please tell the In
dian, Charley, to give his old squaw to old
George or George will have him put in Jail.
Settle the matter the best you can. These
fellows are terrible troublesome here in this
valley" Questions to the bearer of the
above note elected that it was written by a
rancher in Grass valley Sam, the street
cleaner, went on to state that Charley is
very bad Indian, while George is a good In
dian that Charley had stolen Georges wife
and Georges ittee chillen heap cry" and
he was afraid they " heap die" The Indians
seemed to think that paper" from US
would recover the lost wife, and we therefore
gave them the required document, in which
white men who may be applied to by George
are directed and commanded to aid him in
recovering bis lost spouse from the arms of
the wicked Charley

Many interested in the future growth and pros
periiy Of Augusta, are deeply panied at this re-
suit and although the battle has been fought and
the day has gone against them, they certain
that time will fully vndicate their action. The
persons who voted Noyesteiday, adverse to then
judgments and deep seated convictions, could be
counted by scores. 1t is unnecessary to mention
the influences that were brought TO bear upon
them. They are well known and were but poorly
! concealed in the work of yesterday. Many stayed
away from the polls, who needed further enlight
enment on the subject matter under consideration
others voted No, fearful that their already high
taxes would be increased, without stopping to
consider the advantages to be derived flom rail
road that would increase the business of the place
and add to the population those who would share
the burdens of taxation. But those who voted in
the minority yesterday have not TO answer for the
| results Of the defeat OF the railroad and upon
| them rests not the responsibility of not only post
poning the building of the road from Augusta to
West Waterville, but also blocking the enterprise
of Lew ison and Wiscasset neighbors, who
desired to open avenues of trade into our city,
making Augusta the absolute centre of a grand
| system of narrow gauge railroads, a system which
| is destined to supersede the standard gauge But
we have failed TO seize the prize. and must pay the
| penalty.
