A man of good address and manners entered a police station in this city, last evening. and modestly requested to be directed to a certain cell, indicating the same by its location and not its number.
 His appearance almost preeluded the pos siblity of his having a personal interest from association in the apartment re- ferred 10. and the officer may be excused for harboring momentary suspicion of
 his visitors sanity. Looking him closely in the eye. however. the officer became al once satisfied on that point. and also that the caller was governed in his wish by calm intelligence. The officer afforded him an immediate opportunity of visiting the cell. winch chanCed to be empty. and. therefore. unlocked.

The Ancient World.


In recent lecture on the world at the
time of mans appearance, Boyd Dawkips,
the English geologist, gave brief sketch of
some of the changes which have preceded
the present condition of the earth's surface.
In the eocene and miocene periods, he said,
Europe was united with Iceland and Green
land, and also with the United States of
America by barrier of land, extending past
the Farce Isles, which was covered by dense
forest, composed to a large extent OF the
same trees in Europe and America, and
which allowed of a comparatively free mi
grafton of animals to and fro between En-
gland and the United States. In the rivers
of Europe were aligators and fish not to be
distinguished from those of America. In
the pliocene age the barrier of land became
depressed, and for the first time in the his
tory of the world what is now the Atlantic
became connected with the Arctic sea. Dur
ing all these changes the British Isles formed
part of the continent, and the Atlantic sea-
board was marked by the 500-fathom line.
AS regards the changes in climate in Europe
in the three periods, the lecturer said that
during the first period the climate was trop-
ical in Britain, palms and breadfruits and
other southern trees living in the southeast
of England. In the second period the eli
mate was cooler and palms were scarce, but
magnolias and tulip trees and sequoias
abounded. In the third period the climate
became temperate. These surroundings of
man were gradually shaped i'm the three ear
lier stages of the tertiary period until they
arrived very early at that equilibrium which
is found to-day.

CATCHING SUNBEAMS.

The grandmother sat by the cottage door.
The grandchild played at her feet on the floor.
From the western sky the bright sunshine sped,
And rested in glory on either head.
Then in long, gold arrows it seemed to fall,
And quivering, break on the cottage wall.
And the child reached up with her baby hands,
Loud laughing, to prison the shining bands.
And twas sweet on the baby face to see
The look of surprise at the mystery.
Swift escaped from the tiny fingers hold
Again on the wall the dancing gold.
In the grandmother's lap the knitting lay,
And her eyes were bent on the child at play.
But against the tide of her life's long stream
Had her thoughts swan back in waking dream
Till they reached the source, and she was the child
That caught at the sunbeams with laughter wild.
And through all the paths of life's dusty way,
1t had been with her rs the child at play.
She had caught at the sunbeams that barred the air.
She had opened her hands, 10 naught was there
Less wise than the child, she had often wept,
As faith from her soul her empty hand swept.
She reached no hands now. But now the sun
streamed
In 81 golden flood as she sat and dreamed.
And back ward so far the bright shadows lie,
With glory they fill the east and west sky.
"Prisoned at last!' So she thought and she smiled
At the dancing gold and the laughing child.
