Old CitiZen.-Well, looking to the results TO

worked him up very cleverly; but when tn ~
are through with him they ought to take him

years ago, we would now be cursed by such a

Correspondents What was proposed ten
years ago?
Old Citizen.-It was proposed to take War
moth, Kellogg and a few others out on a GER
tain night and hang them up to tree on
Canal Street Center Walk.
C0rreSpOndent.-Wnat class of people pro-
posed this outrage?
Old Cirizen.-I should not have regarded il

APES NOT MANS PROGENITORS.
Prof. A Il. GrOte thus writes in the PODuLdr
Science Monthly:
The position of science with regard to man
and the anthrOpOid apes is, that in no case can
these latter be considered our progenitorS or
descendants. The physical and mental char
acterlStIcS are too diverse to admit of such
conclusions. The apes have evidently come
down another line OF descent, although the
time When both the apes aud man may have
emerged from common branch of the tree of
animal lie may not be so very long past. But,
whenever the line of man and that of the an.
thrOpOld apes conceded, il is clear that now
more. The reSemblanceS between the apes
ana man. however, cannot be overlooked
by the thinking mind. They are so great
mat III we assumed the theory of degeneracy
to be true, and so were willing to throw the
whole animal kingdom backward on its tail
instead OF forward on its feet, we might con-
Slder them to be degenerate aud wild" men
And 1t is interesting to find that this Is what
they were formerly held to be. The early
pictures OF the orang and chimpanzee exem
pnly TINS notion by giving them perfectly
human features and erect position, brutaiizod
only by their hairy body. They were, in fact,
assumed TO be very abandoned nd of man.
and not very elevated kind of monkey IL
is thought by some tribes of men to this day
that the apes could talk if they would. but
they are afraid that il they do they will be
made slaves of and obliged to work From
the naked white skin, through the yellow and
red to the black and then TO the black with
hair, does indeed seem gradual transition :
admission of the ape into the human family
carries with 1t no little show of Justice

How to Relieve or Prevent Weak

Persons having a tendency to weakness Of
