Man Always the Same Amin,

Man Always the Same Animal.
The most splendid specimen of the
Caucasian race that the civilized world
can show to-day has no more organs,
bones, muscles, arteries, veins or nerves
than those which are found in the low
est savage. He makes different use OF
them, and that use has changed their de.
velopment,and to some extent has mod.
fed stature, physical, intellectual and
moral, and many other attributes; rs
climate and habits of lie have modified
complexion, the diseases to which the
human frame is liable, and many other
peculiarities. Bnt il we take historic
man we fnd that in all the physical
features of his animal construction that
constitute him species, he has been
essentially the same animal in all states
of civilization or barbarism. And un-
less we boldly assume that the pre-.
! historic man was an animal born with
coat of hair all over his body and that
| clothing was resorted to az the hair in
successive generations disappeared, We
can have no very strong reason for be-
at any time an essentially different
structure from what it is now. Even in
regard to longevity or power of con-
tinued life if we set aside the exceptions
al cases of what is related of the patri-
archs III the Biblical records, we do
not find that the average duration OF
| human life has been much less than the
threescore und ten OF the fourscore
years that are said to have been the
divinely appointed term. As to what
may have been the average dui Jon
of life among the prehistoric men.

Blushing for the Americans.

From Paris Letter by Robert Laird Collier.
How comes it that the Americans
one meets in Europe are so usually of
the long-talking, ill-bred, fiashy type
one sees described in foreign books and
papers? One does not see them at
home, but unhappfly crosses their path
everywhere in European travelings. l

"Skuol Isools."

Artemas Ward SAID that "Chaucer was
genius, but he could not SPELL" and
there are those who think that Wards
wit consisted chiefly in bad spelling.
Such charge might hold good in the ig-
norant mans application to a teacher in
behalf of his son-"Deer sur, as yer ar q
man Of nolege, l wish to inter my boy in
yur skulp'--for the very blunders sug-
gest an absurd imitation of the truth.
But in the following example the writ
ing tells its own story, and shows good
sense in spite of its orthography. The
Pittsburgh Despatch says:
Superintendent Luckey, in recent
"trip into the country, ran across school
where the teacher had been furnished
with the following "Skool Roofs" by the
trustees:

MCMILLAN AND HOUK
Exchange Compliments on the Floor of the
House.

The following is from the report OF
the proceedings in Congress Tuesday:
Mr.. Houk of Tennessee criticised the
administration, and declared that the
president had assumed an attitude be-
tore the country which would not be
tolerated in any but two other coun-
tries in the world. Russia or Persia
might tolerate this course, but neither
the sultan of Turkey nor the queen OF
England would have occupied their po-
sluons "a hours after having taken the
position which the present had assumed.
lie then went on to denounce the ac-
ton OF the first assistant postmaster
general in removing postofices in Ten
nessee from villages In which they had
been situated for years and locating
them in the pine regions, because he
said he could not find any democrats in
the villages TO take charge of the Off
ceS. This action he denominated as the
most outrageous, Infamous action which
had ever been perpetrated upon any
community. He did not know from
what Influence this came, unless it came
from man who had paid himself sal
airy out OF the children's school fund
two years after he went out OF office.
Mr.. McMilin-To whom does the
gentleman refer?
Mr.. Houk-You know just as well as
anybody on earth. have the record if
you come around privately.
Mr.. McNlillln--l insist that when a
man goes to asslssinate a character
and this is unmitigsted assassination
he should have the boldness to do it Ike
man.
Mr.. lIouk-I have the boldness to tell
you privately or meet IN any other way.
Mr. McMillin-No man ought to at
tempt to do that indirectly. | under
take to say the man he is undertaking
to reach Is the equal of any man he can
boast of, and | Will not under the rules
OF this house say how far he is the SUI
perior of this individual (Mr. Houk) in
all that constitutes manhood.
Mr.. Houk suggested that there were
plenty of men OF Pennsylvania avenue
who were the superiors of his colleague.
Mr.. McMlllin would express the
opinion--if it were parliamentry-that
there were men in the penitentary who
were the superiors of his colleague
and Mr.. Houk had no doubt that his
colleagues superiors had been hanged in
prisons.
After this exchange OF compliments
the matter dropped and the committee
arose.

THE STREET RAILROAD
On Madison Street to be Built lmme-
dIately.

The GAINESVILLE Street Railroad Com
pany has decided to proceed immedi-
ately with the construction ofthe Mad
ison street line. This line will run
from the present terminus OF the road
near the l.. & N, passenger depot up
Twelfth street to Madison; thence, up
Madison to Third, down Third to Com
merce, up Commerce to Second, down
Second to Franklin, intersecting with
the present line at the Northern bank
corner. The detour around Third
and Commerce streets is made to avoid
the steep grade at the corner OF Second
and Madison streets.
The funds for building this line will
be raised by the sale of bonds, the COM
pany wishing to retain the stock.
The franklin street line has been in
operation now for more than three
months and has proved a splendid sue
sess This is a fact, Notwithstanding
that the operation of the road was in
.erierred with several times by SHOWS.
A street car line in GAINESVILLE was an
untried experiment and there was a
great deal of skepticism as to its practa-
bility. 1t is all the more gratifying,
therefore, that the success OF the enter
prise has been proven.
That GAINESVILLE is able to support a
street car line so handsomely is proof
OF the thrift and prosperity of this city.

AT this point they caught a wheel OF the

the vehicle struck, stands very near the
road, and that several buggies lave
