Darwin Wonderful DiscOv'
cry in Brazil.


In Maranham, province of the En-
pire of Brazil, at plantation of Mr.. S. Vieira,
well was being dug by his negroes. When they
had dug down to the lower bed of the tertiary strata
they came upon some bones which appeared Pc
culiar to them. They sent to the house for their
master, who upon seeing them, comprehended the
importance of the discovery at such depth. He
Immediately ordered the work stopped and sent to
the city of Maranham for Drs Brandao, Sogner,
Bsrhosa, and Jansen Peneira, who, after studying
the subject, agreed that they were human bones III
afossl state They repaired to the place. and after
twenty four hours labor in excavating, succeeded
in taking out complete skeleton without the loss
of the least particle The skeleton is of colossal
dimensions, measuring eight feet and three inches
in height. And what is more extraordinary is the
prolongation of the dorsal spine more than twenty
inches. If this skeleton does not belong to an IN
dividual who had such deformity, then we have
the most brilliant confirmation of the doctrine OF
Darwin. What is necessary now is to continue the
excavation and discover another skeleton and at
once the great scientific problem of man is solved.
What this discovery has already absolutely
solved is the existence of man before the tertiary
epoch. To what nation, then, does this skeleton
belong? Can it belong to any nation of the red
men who inhabited South America at the time OF
its discovery? Or can it belong to any nation ex-
tinct before that epoch? All corroborate the latter
hypothesis. Extensive Investigations will yet one
day give to humanity the solution of these
problems. The whole skeleton has been brought
to Major Poycarpo Pinheiro to be prepared for ex-
hibition II is to be sent to the museum at Rio de
Janeiro, with box of the clay in which it was

ladies Chewing snufin Texas.

In Northwestern Texas, next to the
Arkansas line, some of the ladies chew snuff
They are not Texas girls, but Arkansas girls over
there on visit. The real snuff chewing girls all
live in Arkansas and Tennessee. The swell Ar
kansas girl takes out her tin box of snuff, dips a
stick in it, and chews the end of the stick like a
cigar. Occasionally she eXpectorates out of the
window or into the aisle Of the Pullman car. No
man feels like kissing an Arkansas snuff chewing
girl the mouth. If compelled to kiss her at all
he prefers to kiss her on her nose or ear Between
an Arkansas girls powder on her face and snuff
on her teeth and lips the ear is about the only
clean place left to kiss.
am sorry to say that almost every colored girl
in Texas chews snuff. The chambermaids all go
about the halls with stick in their mouths, the
end covered with snuff.
When the colored chambernaid at Waco came
with towels she had a stick in her mouth, and l
thought would ask her why she used it.
"Well, it pears like dey all use it," she said,
AN so 1 uses it too"
But it is such a nasty habit" l said. "Why,
you'll never get married with your mouth full OF
nasty snuff
Most all de girls gets married someway, an dey
all chew; an de white ladies dey chews too''
"What! Not the white ladies in this hotel'
''Sartainly, sab. Dey's five ladies-white ladies
in dis hotel dat chews. Dey do it in dere rooms,
dough. 1t pears zif what de white ladies do we
colored girls oughter do too."
I will say here that the refined young ladies in
Texas do not use snuff The snuff chewers are
usually the poor white trash,' who originally
came from Arkansas or Tennessee. You will see
many beautiful and accomplished young ladies in
Waco who would not associate with the snuff
chewing croWd-CbicGgO Tribune

In the first place it was never intended by tht
Department of Justice that Cook should have the
prominence in the case which he has obtained b!
at once announcing the fact of his employment tc
the court and having it sent over the country
Correspondence Cincinnati Gazette.
What washe employed for then? All
here we have it, from the same CORE
spondence:
1t is possibly true also that the retention of Cook
will control certain number if not ALL of the class
who are usually depended upon here for such eYi-
dence as may be needed to establish any theory
ofdefense which may be determined upon.
That is as much as to say that Cook has
won his legal victories heretofore by the
use and manipulation of the class who are
usually depended upon here for such evil
dence as may be needed to establish any
theory of defense which may be deter
mined upon;" in other words, that he is
skilled in manipulating perjurers, and
that in the star-route case he is only to
change sides, and is expectedto control -
the scoundrels who are to be used by
Woodward, Gibson & Co. in securing con-
victions through perjury. This is GER
tainly bold avowal, but it is in keeping
with the whole proceeding of the Gov
ernment in this connection

Gibson and NIacVeagh.

The smaller fry of the Administration
Bohemians are busy excusing the en-
ployment of Tilden's and Dana's man
Gibson to "prepare testimony" against
postal officials and star-route mail con-
tractors. They say that although Gibson
had vilifed General Garfield without
stint for years as thief, bribe-taker, and
perjurer in the Credit Mobilier and De
Golyer pavement transactions, yet the
fact that he had knowledge which could
be used by the Government made it advis-
able that he be engaged. And then ttnev
praise tiie ti,e President for employing his
defamer as aforesaid. Nov, Nov if Gibson has
knoWIedge, he had better be subpenaed
with other witnesses-not hired and
coached But he is not retained for facts
he knows so much as for methods he un-
derstands. The malefactors with whom
he operated in the Potter -Tilden commit
tee at New Orleans proved that he could
"prepare testimony" regardless of eX-
pense. If the Government is intent
upon suborning testimony because of a
want of facts upon which to make out
cases against selected victims, it is clearly
good policy to employ man who is
"handy in the direction of subornation
of perjury The political friends of Gen
eral Garfield who were on the Pot
ter committee-viz., Reed, ]. D. Cox,
and Hiscock-were of opinion that there
had been systematic bribing of witnesses
before that committee Gibson, having
prepared evidence" in that investiga-
ton, and having been accused there of
buying witnesses, would seem to be good
man to have around when evidence is
scarce. The Attorney-General is show
ing himself to be great and good man.
He and Gibson will reform things if they
have witnesses enough. How is the con-
tingent fund?

Stanley Matthew's, spcecI,,

Mr.. Justice Matthews made an inter
estng and neat little speech at the camp given
by the George H. Thomas Post Grand ARMY of the
Republic, in Cincinnati Friday last. The iSstffgge
trife egotistical, but perhaps was pardonable
under the circumstances, he said:
Let me say, comrades that if any man knows what
an honest-Sudg is going to decide they know more
than does until the time comes after hearing
ui0iIy and reading argument he deliberateS in the
chambers of his conscience and settles his iud
ment under solemn of responsibility 10 God.

enced onlyby that consideration to administer the law
for the purpose doing justice between man and man
without fear favor, affection impartial and equal,
and to build the great temple of justice in which,
and in which alone, find peace and prosperity,
And what 1 shall endeavOr to do is TO cast way be-
hind me every bias, every prejudice, and everything
which possibly draw the mind away from a just
comprehension of the truth it may be presented in
the present life, and to treat every question coming
before the tribunal of justice new subject of in
vestigation, to he studied examined learned and

FOR THE WOMEN,

| fine voice. Did you notice her bravura passages %'
| No; but noticed the lace on her dress It's
real Hamburg, and just lovely"
A constituencies bride remained at
Niagara until her husbands fortune was absorbed
! by hackInan, and then ran off with the latter.
| The deserted husband has bought hack, and
| hopes in few weeks to induce her to return.
With pleading eyes she looked up
| from the piano and sang, Call me your darling
again" But he refused, as there were witnesses
around and there is no telling when man will
be introduced to breach-o promise suit in these
days.
A New Hampshire man got up to
| light lamp and fell down dead. Our readers
will bear witness that we have always pointed out
that this getting up at night is mans wife's
business. Behold the terrible justification of our
course!
The Boston Globe remarks that love
is an affection of the stomach. In the interest of
amatory poetry we really hope not. Just imagine
lover warbling beneath the lattice of her he
loves, Ny stomach, my stomach is breaking for
the love of Alice Gray"
-"Wife," remarked prominent manu-
facturer never attends auctions. She went once,
just before we were married, and, seeing a friend
on the opposite side, nodded pOlltely, Wnereupon
the auctioneer knocked down patent cradle and
asked her where she wanted it delivered"
-" Maggie, dear, if l should attempt to
spell Cupid, why could 1 not get beyond the first
syllable?' Maggie gave it up, whereupon William
said: d" Because, when come to C of course
can go no further" Maggie said she thought that
was the incest conundrum she had ever heard
-" Why, Pm so glad you've come. Did
you know that I've been worrying about you,
John, all evening?' That's just what 1 married
you for 1t is pleasant to think that there is some
one home worrying about you" Somehow this
view of the matter didn't exactly coincide with
her ideas of marital amenities.
If she's got to talk slang Boston girl
will refine and beautify it. "The proper caper
becomes Z" the appropriate gyration;" bang-up"
is" front hair elevated ;; tumbing to the racket"
is falling to the audible disturbance" and "a

refinement is a great thing! You can just wager

From Congressman Moore.

Hon. w. r. Moore, the Stalwart Repub
lican Representative in Congress from the Mem
phis CTenn) District, in published letter on the
New York embroglio, says:
know that the President in all that he did acted
strictly within the letter of the Constitution There is
no issue upon this point. But my sole point is that
Que regard to usage, courtesy, common fairness, and
a wise expediency would each and all have driven
him to the consultation above suggested, and
consequence, have prevented the unhappiness in
party which forebodes good to it, fear. If
he had, when these four distinguished New Workers
called upon him-instead of assuring them that he
would not make the change, which, for strange
reason he did make two days afterwarddiscuSsedt the
matter freely and fully with them, and, after such
discussion had felt still convinced that the appoint
ment as now made wise and eXpedent, every
fair-minded American would have justified his con-
duct; but to assure them that change was con-
templatedr" and almost Immediately thereafter to
make one the most distasteful, upon consultation
not with the four New Workers, but with gentle
man from Maine, act certainly not calculated
to arouse in any observer exalted spirit of good
faith and fair dealing
The conclusion of the letter is an admirable
grouping of the tenetS of the cause Mr.. Moore so
ably represents. He says:
sincerely desire, in the brief time 1 may occupy
official position, to recommend such men and meas
ures for my district may suggest themselves to my
conscience and judgment; and there is no influence,
either inside outside my party, strong enough to
SwerVe me from this purpose. If the President and
powers that be " shall refuse to aid in the pro-
motion of this plan, and my party shall decline to
sustain me in it, shall regret it, but shall never
theess console myself with the reflection that I, at
least, faithfully alone tried to pull down Bourbon
Democracy and establish in its stead in all this broad
land the party of progress, the party of liberty the
party of free speech, the party of fair elections the
party of honest votes the party of sound money,
the party of good faith, the party of free religion,
the party of free schools, the party of nationality
the great Republican party. And when my two years
shall have expired, am ambitious to be able to
ceve, if not the appreciation of all my constituents
at least the appreciation ofmy conscience, which
value more highly than gold-"y yea, than much
fine gold.'

Senator COnkIfng.

A friend of Senator Conkling, who ac-
companied him in his campaign tour last fall to
Ohio and Indiana, says: when Maine went
Democratic and a death gloom hung over the Re-
publican camp Mr.. Conkling heard the cry, Help
me, Cassius, or l sink! > and went TO Ohio to find
the Republicans there had been fighting a defen-
sive fght-explaining De GOlyer Credit Mobilier,
back-pay, and so on. He changed their campaign
into an aggressive one. He made the fight party
one. He ignored individuals at the head of the
tickets He did not beSpatter Hancock. He did
not plaster Garfield with unmerited praise. He
refused all entreates to go into the Credit Mobiier
business and the other things; and thereby hangs
a tale. Others diiga lilo tnen ard you STE the
result. He secured Ohio and Indiana without
other help than his own voice. The power of
public plunder may be enough to snow him under
for time. but if it is it is the loss of the State

but expected if he fired he would miss me, and my
intention was, in that event, 10 put my hand under
his foot, tumble him off the other side, spring into
his saddle, and attempt to escape.

of those who trying to belitte the force of ex

Grant. His Fowler interview and his Warren
speech were the two great features ofthe campaign
and if leaders to be rewarded according 70 the
results of their labors one had near so heavy a

that none of the Stalwarts so-called had anything

to intimate that they contributed in the slight

less. He pays her 5000 a night, and the other
