American Athletics.

II any nation comes near being per-
feet, 1t is the Yankee race Of the new
time. 1t used to be reproach against
us that we lacked physical development
We were skinny, we were dyspeptic, we
had neither teeth nor muscle, said envi.
GUS cousins over seas.
If the reproach ever was true, it is SO
no longer. The coming American of
both sexes is as splendid specimen of
physical development as the world Of
fords. Every country village in the
Union has at least its baseball club.
Whatever its sins are in other respects,
our national game gave a magnificent
impetus to physical culture. From base
ball clubs our young men went ON to
forming general athletic clubs for wrest-
ling, boxing, fencing, etc. The result is
that our city streets today are full of
strong, fine, handsome young fellows
whose bodies are as we'll trained as their
minds.
Best of all, the girls have taken it up
too. Hundreds Of city girls and women
think nothing Of good long swim or a
walk Of seven miles. They ride horse
back, they row, they fence, they run, and
they train with enthusiasm in gymna.
Sums. They play croquet, lawn tennis,
and even football. The china painting
craze has gone out and the physical cul-
ture craze has come in, blessed be
heaven!

Old World America.

1t was observed by Hugh Miller that, al.
though this continent is the New World il
relation to its discovery by civilized man, ii
is an old world, much older than Europe, in
relation to the types of its animals and plants
For example, the big trees of California are
of older stock than any trees now growing il
Europe The question has been raised II
some of the races of Siberia and Eastern
Asia have not sprung from American abo
rigines, rather than our Indians to have come
from that quarter.
In the case of such plant as the common
heather of England and Scotland, found
growing wild in Nova Scotia, it is q matter
of curious interest to determine whether il
ia native to the soil or has been introduced
from Europe.
Professor Lawson of Halifax, decides that
the plant had its home hers. To his view
there was time when the plant was abund.
ant In our northern lands, and its present
rare occurrence marks dying out of the
species on this side Of the ocean Its vigor'
Gus growth in Europe Is due to the circun
stance that it is there young plant on vir.
gin soil.
1t was Buffons idea that all the forms OF
animal and plant life common to the two
continents were introduced here after the
discovery by Europeans The idea was nat
urally suggested by the rapidity with which
this continent was peopled and stocked with
all domestic animals and cultivated plants
The teaching from Buttons day to a recent
period has been to the same effect. OF late
the evidence has been accumulating to prove
this view to he not only false but directly the
reverse of what had been the real order OF
succession. Youths Companion

had much to say of interest to our

introduced by Mr.. Butler was adopt.
ed without dissenting voice:
Lamar, Colo, Jan 10th, 1880.
BE it Resolved by the citizens of
Lamar and vicinity now in mass
meeting assembled.
lst. That it is the honest belief of
this meeting that a proper division
OF the original county of Bent is for
the best interests of the whole
county.
End. That while 1t would be to
the beat financial interest of Lamar
and vicinity to divide the said terri
tory of B0nt on line running north
aud south on the west line of Range
4s, yet at the same time we recognize
the fact that other portions of said
territory are entitled TO fair consid.
Grafton, and IN view of this we recog-
nize the fact that it would be equita-
BILE and just to so divide said terri
tory that the residents along the line
of the Missouri Pacific and Kansas
Pacific Railroads might haye county
seat on the line of one of said roads
so that they may not be under the
necessity of crossing for lsng dis
tance overland.
That under these circumstances we
believe that the bill Introduced by
Mr.. Swift our Representative in the
Legislature known as the Wolcott
Bill is fair aud just TO ali parties and
We hereby heartily endorse the same.
A. Il. Black stated that himself
and few others did not vote. Fol
