Some Interesting Facts About Our Ear
Hest Ancestors.

At the meeting of the Royal Society,
held last night, the venerable Professor
Owen read paper which cannot fail
to cause great interest. The paper on
portion "of a human skeleton from
| plcistocene (pal@lithic) bed, Tilbury,
Essex deals with nearly complete
| figure which has been discovered dur
ing the excavations of docks now in
progress at Tilbury fort, and at depth
Of nearly thirty-two feet from the pres
ent surface. 1t consists of consider
able portion of human skeleton, the
parts of which are determined and de-
scribed. The differences dcduced are
that they were from a somewhat aged
male of great muscular strength, and
such differences as to food as might be
drawn from the worn crowns of the
teeth in use at his demise are given. A
chemical analysis Of the bones is added
by DR.. Walter Flight, +. X. S., of the
laboratory department in the British
Musem. A section of the several strata
dug through before arriving at the bed
is appended. This section determined
the man to have lived at the so-called
"Pal@olithic period The author ac-
knowledged his indebtedness to Colonel
Du Plat Taylor for the transmission
of the skeleton, with notifica-
ton of his discovery in letter of
1st October, 1888; also to Mr.. Donald
Baynes, the engineer of the dock works.

The bones consist, among others, of
the frontal and part of the occipital,
three teeth, incisors and canine; the
masticating teeth had been used away
and were gone and the cavities were
filled up, the femurs and shafts of the
tibia. The pclvis, which fiint-implc-
ment collectors have especially been in
the habit of looking for, was
entirely broken to pieces during the
digging, and the skull was also frac-
tured. The density of the bone was
higher than that of the fresh bone, and
could readily be pounded to perfect
dust, point which he considered indi-

were prominent, in which respect he

Revenue O1ncers, Fees,

Brewster Camerons charges against the
United States revenue officers, in the States
where illicit distillng is practced are that
deputy collectors and deputy marshals work
together to pile up witness fees, mileage ETC.,
and that United States com nisslopers man
age to make each case heard pay them $40
to SIP. BY these means every arrest costs
the government anywhere from $25 to $50
before it goes to court, although in North
and South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee
the cases heard by the commissioners, but
which never come to trial in court are as
10 to at least, and in some districts 40 to /.
In one district it was shown that a company
of 40 illicit distillers and dealers in illicit
whskey were persuaded to appear before a
United States commissioner, pleaded guilty
and gave bonds to appear at court. They
failed TO appear, the bonds, which were
worthless, were declared forfeited, and
bench warrants were issued. These were
served, and the parties brought again before
the same commissioner were again bonded
to appear at court, and again failed. This
was repeated three times, each time the COM
missioner, marshal and witnesses receiving
their fees, amounting in the aggregate to
several thousands of dollars. The criminals
were parties to the frauds, sharing in the
fees The whole batch were finally brought
into court, pleaded guilty; were convicted
recommended to mercy, and sentence wa
suspended Not one was ever punished.

Abducted by n Cow.
| From the St. Johnsbury Index


Some surprise was occasioned in town last
Thursday morning, by report that Fred son
of Dr. Warner, had been abducted by COW.
The young man was last seen leading the
COW to water the evening before, and the
sudden and mysterious departure of the two
gave rise to all sorts of rumors. Some were
of the opinion that the boy had elopcd with
the cow others were certain that the COW
was the guilty party, while still others
thought it probable that the COW had run the
boy out of the country and was holding him
for ransom. Efforts were made during
Thursday and Friday to discover trace Of
the tugitives, but without success, and hope
was nearly abandoned, when late Friday
night the repentant couple returned from
their wandering The boys story is that the
COW got away from him and ran toward
North Dsnvile, in the vicinity of which
hamlet he finally secured her.

The Railroad LITIGATION.

The special masters in the accounting of
the receivers and managers of the Vermont
Central and Vermont and Canada Railroads
for the period covered by the Central Yer
mont receivership July, 1878, to July, 1888,
have filed their report in the Franklin coun-
ty clerks Office. The masters find that the
Central Vermont railroad company, as re-
ceivers, operated the roads under their charge
in good faith and with ordinary prudence,
and they approve of and allow the accounts
as presented. They also find that the reia.
tions existing between the trust and the
roads operated by the Central Vermont rail.
road company, and the methods of doing
business between them, have been fair and
equitable to the trust. The masters further
find the services of President }. Gregory
Smith in the management and protection Of
the trust property to have been exceedingly
arduous, and they allow his account as pre-
scented. The masters report will come uI
before Chancellor Royce for approval in
few days, as a hearing will be had January
II before the Chancellor on the petition
for the discharge OF the existing receivershp
and it is necessary that the accounts il
question should be settled before a decision
| is reached in the matter.

Luther and His DetractOrs.

The n. Y. Independent having
been challenged to prove its charge
of mendacty on the part of GER
tain Roman Catholic writers respect
ing Luther's character and opinions, refers
to the hideous declaration attributed to the
reformer by DIR. Brann, the Rev. William
Stang and others to the effect that concuh-
image is preferable to chastity and with
Gods assistance would not involve the loss
of salvation" This has been quoted on the
authority of Audin, the author of a French
biography of Luther. Audin refers to
the Jena edition Of Luther's letters and
assumes TO reproduce the declaration in foot
note in Latin. The INDEPENDENT establishes
the fact that the letter referred to was not
written in Latin but in German and the text
of the letter affords no foundation whatever
for the abominablc sentences attributed tc
the Reformer by Audn and subsequent
writers on the Roman Catholic side. On
the contrary the German original contains
abundant evidence that Luther hated aud
denounced what his detractors charge him
with upholding.

Senator EdniIInis.
From the Brooklyn Eagle !

The value of character is strikingly illus
trated in the difference between the ways in
which the public regard the attitude of SEN
ator Edmunds and that of ex-senator Blaine
in regard to the Presidency. Both of them
profess not to- desire that high office, and to
discourage the efforts of their friends to
secure 1t for them. Difficult as it is for peo-
pie to believe that any man does not really
want the Presidency, the rugged honesty of
the Vermont Senator has led the country to
accept his disclaimer as sincere. On the
other hand, the sly tactics which
have always characterized "Maine's favor.
lite SON make the public dstrust any
OF his dellyerances. His fervid protestation
that he is not candidate counts for no more
than The assertion of the veteran actress that
she has really started on her farewell tour.
The country simply wonders, whats Blaine
up to now"
- While there is no reason to doubt
the honesty OF his protest against these
appeals, MIR. Edmundss own dissemination
to be the candidate only constitutes another
argument In favor of his selection. The
heallhlest sign in our politics to-day is the
turning OF Republican sentiment away from
the sef-seeking claimants for the nomina-
tlon toward man who makes no effort tc
secure an office for which he is conspicuousy
qualified.

IN the building stereotypers were pouring the
molten metal that was to reproduce page

French work
At IL o'clock this morning just 80 hours
will have passed since the first copy OF the
French book was obtained. Only one copy
was got, and that was by good luck and ac-
cident combined. Arrangements had been
made to get copies from the booksellers who
would naturally receive them first but when
the Gallia, on which they were to come, ar.
rived, it was found that she brought none
because the Paris edition had been exhaust
ed. A man was found who had one, how
ever. Some days ago transators had been
advertised for and the addresses of those
who applied were taken down. The book
was procured at II o'clock on Wednesday,
at noon the first translator began work.
Almost at the same time proofs of the title
page had been sent to Washington to be
copyrighted. AT midnight all the translat-
ing had been done. Copy had begun to 90
to the compositors before supper time. BY
supper time last night, just twenty-four
hours later, all the type had been set. AT
about 4 o'clock the first forms had been
stereotyped and put to press. A great deal
OF the editing was done in proofs. Early
this morning the binders will have begun the
hnal work upon the book.
Although the letters of Jane, Welsh Car
lyle were in English the work of getting
them out was a greater feat of speed than
this, for that made book of $50 pages,
bound in CLOTH and was out of the bindery
and ready for sale about four days after the
copy was received last spring. During the
same time the type was re-arranged as fast
as it left the electrotype foundry and another
edition in Franklin Square Library size was
completed. This made a volume of 1862
