The Aryan Invasion Of Europe.

In very recent unexpectedly not
more than twenty centuries before
Christ Europe was invaded by new
race of men, coming from central Asia.
These were the Aryans, a race tall and
massive in stature (the men averaging
at least five. feet eight inches. and the
women five feet three inches), with
.sbrachyeephalie' or round and broad
skulls, with powerful jaws and promi-
nent eyebrows, with faces rather square
or angular than oval, with fair, ruddy
compilations and blue eyes, and red or
fiaxen hair. OF these, the earliest that
came may perhaps have been the Latin
tribes, with the Dorians and Ionians; but
the first that made their way through
western Europe to the shores of the At
lantic were the Gael, or >true Kelts.
After these came the Kymry; then the
Tcutons; and finally--in very recent
times, near the beginning of the Chris
ian era-the Slavs. These Aryan in
vaders were further advanced in
civilization than the Iberians, who
had SO long inhabited Europe.
They understood. the arts which
the latter understood, and, besides all
blliS, tllcy ilttu lCdIuCl HOW " NQIk IIGt-
ais; and their invasion of Europe marks
the beginningof what archeologists call
the Bronze Age, when tools and weapons
were no longer made of polished stones,
but were wrought from an alloy of cop
per and tin. The great blonde Aryans
everywhere overcame the small brunette
Iberians, but instead of one race exter-
minating or expelliDg the other, the two
races everywhere became commingled
in various proportions. In Greece, south
ern Italy, Spain and southern France,
where the Iberians were most numerous
as compared with the Aryan invaders,
the people are still mainly small in stat
ure and dark in complexion. In Russia
and Scandinavia, where there were very
few Iberians- the people show the purity
of their Aryan descent in their fair COM
plexion and large stature. While in
northern Italy and northern France, in
Germany and the British Islands. tho
Iberian and Aryan statures and complex
ions are intermingled in endless variety.

disappearance of Morgan. General Al

not think the men that Weed mentions
were mentioned at the time. Masons
know no more about the matter than
any one else. Perhaps st the time it might
have been known among a few memb ers
of the lodges in New York. OF course,
every man concerned in it, if Morgan
was really murdered, should have been
hung. In the obligation which Mason
takes, it is expressly stated that it does
not compel him to do anything against
his conscience or the laws of his country.

WASHINGTON.
The Little Pension ROIl-Army
recommendation.

Washington, 2 Senator Plat, chair
man Of the Senate pensions COM mittee,
believes $50. 600, 900 will be required to
nav pensions for the fiscal year ending
June Goth, 1884; Congress will make ap-
nropristions for that year this winter.
The amount appropriated for the current
fiscal wear was 500, 0O0, 600. The COM
missioner of pensions has asked Congress
to give him for the fiscal year ending
June 3Oth, 1884, SI03, 952. $50.
1t is understood that Secretary Lin
coin will recommend a slight increase in
the army, but Congress in not likely 10
appreciate his arguments. No more In
IN wars are anticipated. The settle
meat Of most Of the western country by
writes MSS progressed far enough to rem.

powerless to do harm without the resist
snce of strong military force. The
strength Of the savsges appears &c be
thoroughly oversloaghed, and with the
exception of little marauding along the
Mexican border, 40 further trouble lie
expected. The reasons for the increase of
the army sre disciplinary emit ely. The
army is not large enough to give officers
the requisite practice in handling
| troops. The secretary is also likely
to recommend that the pay
Of soldiers be raised from $1S to SIS q
month, the old figure. The policy ofthe
secretary will be to consolidate different
commands as far as possible, abandon all
little posts, in order to get soldiers
enough together to make respectable
showing. It is said the secretary will
dwell at some length upon the subject of
desertion. Last year Is per cent. OF the
enlisted men deserted and to fill their
places it cost the government 1890, 600. A
large mum Der OF men are constantly en-
listing from the east who simply desire
transportation to some far western terri
tory, with the intention of deserving as
soon as they get there, which they pro-
coed to do upon arrival st their destina-
ton. Comparatively few Of them can
ever be arrested and brought back. This
is one of the most troublesome questions
to be met by the war department and the
secretary VIII, it is believed, as reme-
dial measure, recommend to congress o
slight incraess Of pay.
