AntediluVian Animals.

From The Hour
There have recently been discover
ed in Siberia the bones of an ante
diluvian, rhinoceros, which may give
us an idea OF what kind ofpeople and
animals inhabited our globe in ages
gone by, and what sort OF winter
they had to endure. This rhinoceros
was taller than the modern beast by
some six to seven feet. 1t was dis
covered comfortably imbedded in
the banks of one of the affiuents OF
the Taua river. When the bank first
broke away the whole skeleton stood
there in magnificent proportions, a
revelation Of lost aye. Professors
of pal@ontology are rather scarce in
Siberia, and so it happened that the
river was allowed to wash the old
I.uurstareaSgeYi reItaed,s DO wever, and
are now in ST. Petersburg. Beside
its superiority 10 size, this ancien:
monster had the advantage OF being
clothed in thick coat OF long hair
which enabled it to live among ice>
bergs and in a temperature that
would have frozen the efeminate
Polar bear and made an icicle of the
cunning Arctic fox. There was a
period when the north of Europe
England, France and Germany
were inhabited by monsu Gus beasts,
birds and reptiles. The fabulous roe
has been discovered in New Zealand
bird measuring thirty teettrom head
10 claws The sea serpent is no fiction.
Professor Owen constructed, on res
liable scientific basis, areptile that
would measure some sixty feet in
length. A great portion OF the ivory
used to-day is the product of an ex'
tinct 81 ecies buried in Northern Asia,
which the Siberian resurrectionists"
sell ,oRussian traders. There lived,
thee giants in the age OF silence,
twilight and snow. In Australia a
huge marsupial was living, compared
to which the kangaroo is rat; it
hoped about the country In the CONS
pany OF wombats as large as bear,
and these monsters toAnd their enemy
and conqueror in huge monster, the
ponched lion. Gigantic herblverous
dragons, double tusked reptiles,
crawled Iei~urely along the ricn pas
ture lands of South Africa. Lii" was
long in those days, there was no need
tor the beasts to hurry themselves,
they roamed over whole continents
in search Of food. Our age OF small
err physical developments, bat OF
more enlightened intellect, has gath>
cred the scattered bones OF these
monsters aud restored them 10 their
pristine shape and assigned them
their MACE In his OrY.

An Advertising Girl.

Ne,o York Correspondent in Cincinnati Enquirer.
An offense against good taste at
the seventh regiment ball was an ad
vertising girl, who had been sent to
the ball by a Broadway confectioner.
There has of late been hot compe-
tition between the candy merchants.
They put their workmen in the show
windows, use electric lights, and use
every means of attraction. Beautiful
salesgirls have been device, and
several remarkable types OF Ameri'
can loveliness are on exhibition In the
stores. They are ostensibly employ
ed to sell candy, but really are set up
to be admired. They are virtuous
girls, for all l know, and as rule
they repel any male advance. Indeed
they are not displayed with view
to draw men, but to please women.
Most women are ardent admirers OF
beauty in their own sea, in spite OF
jealousy, and candy store with
lovely clerks is sure TO be thronged
by them. Well, one establishment
has secured surprisingly gorgeous
brunett, with sparkling eyes, and lips
sweeter than the poisoned sugar she
sells. She is the talk OF the shoppers.
In order 10 gain tor her wider
notoriety, her employer sent her to
the ball. He had dressed her at an
expense If not less than $500 for her
costume, and an unconjecturable
amount of diamonds. These brillianis,
consisting of a necklace and earrings,
were unquestionably genuine, and
was SAID that ne natrVnlrSa StAeh 4olh
the night Of a dealer. The dress,
however, was rev, and fitted her too
perfectly not to have been made ex-
pressly Tor her. 1t was of white bro.
catelle and white satin, Princess
shaped. The front was OF gathered
satin, covered with lace and white
beaded embroidery, and the train
was brocauelle, trimmed with plated
fiounces, and edged with a coral satin
balayeuse. The corSage was cut out
square, and the sleeves came to the
elbows. The necklace lay showily
on her dark, rich flesh, and her raven
hair was brushed we'll back from her
ears, SO that the gllstenlng pendants
might hang in bold relief. She was
the centre OF chances wherever she
went, and whenever any body asked
who she was, somebody was pretty
sure to recognize her as Blank IL
Blanks clelk. She will be discussed
in society for a week, and no doubt
the advertisement will pay its cost.
10 guard against the risk OF losing
the diamonds, three private detec
tives, i'll immaculate evening dress,
were constituted the girls body

THE HUNTsMAN,s HORN.

q bark to the sound of the huntsman's horn,
Thrilling the air of the crispy morn,
Making sweet melodies far DER the lea,
And galloping echos, from woodland to sea.
Ring out the wild blast, from the bugle's
throat;
There is Joy in the echo, and life in the note;
Stirring the breeze of the youthful day,
That watt the perfume from the pine and Day.
O list to the sound of the whimpering pack,
Courseing along the freshening track;
With eager hearts and a glistening eve,
To be at the death with yelping cry.
o come to the wilderness, man of the world;
See, woodland and meadow, all nature I'M
furled,
And your heart it will leap at the sound Of the
horn;
Like the bounding pack, through the yellow
ing corn;
And new blood will redden your house of clay,
TIL its bushes make life, into rosy day.

An Irishman, finding his cash at

himself with huge horse pistol, pro.
ceeded forthwith TO the conventional
"lonely common" and lay in wait.

OF the hrearm in the usual way. The
farmer, who was Quaker, essayed
TO temporlsed. II would not nave
thee stain Thy soul with sin, friend:
and dldst thou rob me OF my gold, it
would be theft aud didst thou kill
me II would be murder. But, hold!
A bargain is no sin, but commerce
between two honest men. l will give
thee this bag of gold for the pistol
which thou holdest at my ear. The

yielding, perhaps, TO the Quaker's
logic and soiicitude for his spiritual

JeruSalcm, according TO British con-
sular reports, is growing town. The
foreign Hebrew population has in
creased considerably of late years.
That community is now estimated at
$4,000. intending native Jews, against
10000 in 1873. The desire TO avoid
compulsory military service, now en-
forced in most European countries,
and the right Of holding real property
in Turkey, conceded to foreign sub.
jects by the protocol of 1868, probably
account for the increased immigration.
The German colony at Jerusalem now
numbers nearly 400 persons; that at
Jaila about 800. There is II third Ger
man settlement ut Cailla Of about
equal number with the last mentioned.
The settlers are mechanics, artiiiccrs,
carriers aud agriculturists, and are
fairly prosperous. The chief indus
tries remain what they werc-the
manufacture of oil, soap and articles
in olive wood and mother of pearl ;
the production of the latter articles
has greatly increased, rs the sale is no
longer confined TO visitors and pill
grims, large quantities being exported
to Europe and America.
