ST.. PETERSBURG, April 23.-The Jour

ALirrLE RUFPLID.
LONDON, April GA telegram from
Vienna indicates that the preliminaries
between Austria ond Russia are not going
on smoothly. The evidence Of this Is be.
lieved TO be fouLd iu the attacks OF the
Russian press against Austria.
A correspondent at ST. Petersbnrgh in
political correspondence with the Vienna
party explains this irritation: He says
that Russia is ardent in her desire to
satisfy the just demands Of Austria, but
Austria must not stick to teuaciously 10
points which were not recognized be-
fore the treaty Of San Stefano but now de.
clared Of such inportarce or necessity.
This correspondent explains the massing
Of troops in iloumania, as necessary
precaution, adding il may have been
less necessary had Britaiu's Roumaniap
minister Prest everywhere met with the
same reception as At Berlin. In latter
illusions Russia thinks the Rou-
mians are encouraged by Austria. A
Vienna correspondent says IL already
shows that the Russians have erred 10
thinking that Austria wished 10 drive a
bargain. Austria has more interest than
any other country 10 preventing con.
aict between Russia aud R1umania,and so
far from exciting Roumauia 10 a collision
the very reverse was done.
Whatever Russias motives are in oc>
cupying Roumania no Information car do

CURIOUS STONE.

Lying in one of the private rooms
OF tile Aquarium. 1T Broadway and
thirty-iifth street, is the petrifaction
or statue brought hy Mr.. w. 4. CO.
nant from Colorado. Mr.. Conant
says that one day AS he was eating
his lunch under the shade of !. cedar
tree. what he at first supposed to he
"a curiously formed stone attracted
his attention; by removing little Of
the earth surrounding it a seemingly
Petrlfied human foot came to view.
With the aid OF his son. Mr.. Conant
went to work and displaced sufficient
earth to show that an entire human
figure. apparently Of stone. lay few
feet below the surface. Aftrr show
ing his discovery in different towns
in the west. it has been brought to
New York for and exhaustive exami-
nation hy experts. The managers OF
the aquarium do not pretend that it is
fossil man. The facts concerning its
discovery are given. and the statue is
shown to the public.
When the reporter of The Evening
Post saw this singular work of art or
nature this morning. the light was
excellent. The fig are lies fiat. one
arm thrown across the chest and one
leg slightly drawn up. The features
are very distinct. strikingly SO when
compared with the absence Of all mus
cnlar and anatomical declarations
which the observer might expect to
find on the trunk ut the body. The
head is Very similar to those found in
Peruvian pottery. except that the
back Of the skull is a5normally de-
veloped. and the fareileod can scarce
~ be said to exist 1T all.
Standing erect the figure measures
seven and :. half feet: il weighs some
six hundred pounds. The legs and
arms are comparativelc slim. the mus
cIlar developement small; the arms
are in length those Of M ape. and the
hands and feet very large and fiat.
The color is OF a duh gray and does
not vary. The substance has the ring
Of stone when struck. an! the surface
is that Of i rough granite bowlder.
Seen under Ina.nifying glass no
marks Of too!ing are visible to IN I'M.
experienced eye. Whether this is !,
fossil man. al ancien. man. or Il mod
ern fabrication is question which
must rest with Professor Marsh or
some equally competent authority IT,
decide.
TO an unscienti,ic observer who
does not profess any special knowl-
edge. there are some singular features
Of the Colorado discovery in favor Of
the fossil theory. and some against it.
In favor Of it may he mentioned the
expression Of the face. which is very
peculiar. and the singular surface 81
the stone. Against it are slight or
fancied discrepancy in size between
the feet and the want of muscular do
velopement. The ground in which
the statue is said To have been found
=. loamy. slate SOILS also against
the fossil theory. At all events, it il
a sufficiently interesting piece Of stone
to make theireport Of some wcll-knowr
authority, Of interest.
