Interesting news on two different subjects con-
nccted with antiquity came to us yesterday from
Ohio. One was that the American Association
for the Advancement Of Science. in session at
Cleveland had lust about unravelled the notorious
mystery connected with the origin of the Aryan
Race The other was that the Old Roman had
been successfully mounted by processes employed
In museums OF Natural History, and had started
ON a campaign tour from town to town. Inc
restoration is said to be lfeSe and quite natural
and scientific, and antiquarians are delighted
with the work
The old gentleman does not OF course, know
positively as yet whether the party at the head
of his ticket is going to accept the nomination or
not. lie was growing tired, however, and begged
his friends to place him in position on the hind
end of passenger train, and he would start up
his part of the campaign, anyhow. why he
exclaimed with honest enthusiasm to a party or
prominent Democrats who called on him at his
home recently: {" l can't wait any longer. was,
as you know, on my last birthday one hundred
and twenty-three, and am accordingly in my one
hundred and twenty fourth year, 50 no one can

but notwithstanding | can't wait any longer FOR
Mr. Cleveland to speak out and say what he IS

his snuff box that the boy is holding of too

It seems that the Old Roman is having his
share of trouble on his tour. According to the
dspatcb. the first station at which any considerable
crowd was encountered was Paddlcford Centre.
The engine drew up at the large and commodious
water tank, thus bringing the Roman, who was
held in position on the rear platform, face to
face with the large and enthusiastic crowd on
the depot platform At the sight OF him the
crowd grew wild with enthusiasm Keerage,

shouted the crowd earnestly. Seeing that he was
not going to alight they became more quiet and
