 Sec. IS, should read
 Sec. IS.

Evaris' Letter on PoIygamy.
'Ort Mohave, Aug. F, 1873.

New Yoik, Aug. l4.- Speaking of Eyarts letter on polygamy, the Tribune says: IL is in effect N friendly remiader that the comity of nations has been violated. But now that 1t has been sent, more vigorous actioa is justified, and Mormon missionaries who bring back to our shores these deluded converts, can be arrested at our ports and returned with theIr victims as fel0ns. The directness and justice of this peculiar mode of procedure are evident from the fact that the polygamists of Utah are mostly foreign CTS.
 The Times says: We have not much faith in efficacy of diplomatic circulars seut forth to invoke the aid of foreign Govern ments in drying up the channels by which Mormonism is largely fed from abroad. Tho assassination of Mormon missionary by Georgia ruffians, and the Imprisonment of Mormon dignitary on a civil suit, have nothing whatever to do with the attitude of the Government toward the insolent biga- mlsis of Utah Territory But the laws of the United States must be enforced in that Territory, just as they are in Arizana or ldaho. The law of 1862 is mercy a reeancactnelt into ". $, staIate of the cammon law against bigamy. To say that It's enforcement is persecution is the widest folly, and plead tha, religious belief sanc- tioGs eoncubinage, and, therefore, exempts the offender, is to put an argument in the mouths of any civilized community, and who urge the rights of conscience in ex- tennaiion. The fight against the practice Gf Nurmonism is not new one. Tine com plaint that Moraons will he compelled tu abandon one feature of their religion or fight is we'll grounded. They must accept the alternative sooner or later,

WHERE DID MAN ORIGINATEE-The Yari- ous writers and thinkers on the subject of prehistoric man generally concede that the races of to-day have radiatec oyer the globe from some point m Asia. Indeed the tra- ditions of different nations lead to the con- clpslon that this point of dispersion was To- cared in the high central regions of that country. There, apparently, the dog, horse and OK were first domesticated, and can at the present time be found in their natural wisd state. Hudson Tuttie says, in his Ar cana of Nature that "man originated near the equator, where the climate was better adapted to his defenseless condition and food abundant" This conclusion seems to be based upon the impression that the diff ferent znnes of the earth occupy the same lalative positions now that they have al- ways done, snd conld hardly hold good in view of recent developments. Colorado. an almost unexplored country, comparatively speaking, to the scienliac world giil hs aEs to change the logical relsonings that have so far been advanced upon this interesting subject. Senior Altamirano, of Mexico, the best aztec scOhlar living, claims the proof is oonclusIye that the AY,ecs did not come to Mexico from Asia, as has been loEg un!- versally believed, but ;hai they were race originated in the unsubmerged parts of America, as old as the A.iaties themselves, and that iha, ccountry may even have been peopled from this. From the ruins recently found. the most northern of any yet dis covered. the indications of improved archi- lecture, the work of diflorent ages. caa be traced in continual chaiu to Mexico, where they culminate in massive and imposing structures, thus giving some proof by cir eumstantisI eFipeDce 10 Al.amirano's reas- oning. But now, as to tue antiquity of American man as shown by the yet recent discoveries in Colorado.-Popular scienee Monthly.

To such persons the folloEing extract from a recent work by Dr. C.
