The Original Horse.

In q paper read the other day before the
London Royal Institution, Prof. Flower,
F. r. S., stated that the evolution Of the
horse is a subject almost equal in its interest
to that of the descent of man. This is
largely because American fossil remains
have thrown SO much light on the matter
that it seems likely to become, as Prof.
Huxley remarks, q test case OF the value of
tae Darwinian theory. Owen has shown
tbat the hoofed vertebrates-which are
further distinguished from animals with
claws by having herbivorous teeth instead
of carnivorous-are naturally divided into
even-toed and odd-toed. The odd-toed have
a curious geological history, and may
be traced by ample evidence back
to common ancestor, the fossil
phenacodus. There is proof that both
the odd-toed and the even-toed swarmed
in early Eocene time, though now the even
toed-oKen, sheep, deer, camels, pigs and
hippopotamus-are kept going chiefly by
the influence of man, while of the odd-toed
there are only the tapir and the rhinoceros
besides the horse. Concerning the phena-
codus much has been learned within a year
or two. More remains have been discov-
cred, one skeleton being almost perfect,
and these have the peculiarities of the
horse, and show that there has been but
little change except IN the long-boned tail
The size of the lower jaw, the teeth, the
limbs, and, in short, every detail of struct-
ure regarded as important, are the same.
The size of the animal varied from that of
a terrier TO that of sheep.

GETTING A HITCH ON a PYTHON.
An Effort to Capture a Big Snake by
the Aid of an Elephant.
From Chambers Journal.

From Chambers journal.
It was during the cold weather, when
snakes are partly or wholly torpid, that
this adventure happened; had it been in the
hot weather, when snakes are lively, the
story might have had different ending.
Gen. Macintyre and his party went one
day to examine hole or crevlce under
rock, where it was supposed python lay
hidden and sure enough it was there, for
they could see bit Of the tail end pro-
truding from the hole. They left it alone
at first, thinking that, when the sun saone,
it might come forth to bask in its warmth.
In this however. they were disappointed,
for on the following day the snake was not
to be seen; but, on closer examination,
the tail was found sticking out as before.
Various efforts were made to to dislodge
it. A fire was lit in front and the smoke
famed inward, but this had no
effect. The earth was even scraped away
aud the hole widened, when they could
see the coils of the monster as thick as
mans thigh; but except that their opera
tions were occasionally interrupted by the
startling presence of the creatures head,
which it occasionally poked toward the en-
trance, darting out its little forked tongue,
il gave small signs of animation. They had
even determined to try to draw it. We all
three, therefore, proceeded, somewhat ner-
vously, must own, TO lay hold Of its tail.
To this familiarity it showed its objection
by a decided inclination TO wag its caudal
extremity, which had such an electrical
effect on our nerves that we dropped 1t like
a hot potato, and-what shall / call itl-
retired. A shot would in all probability
have induced the snake to quit its refuge,
but then the shot must have torn and dis

a bright idea now struch the party-they
might draw the snake out with the elephant.

AT THE COURTS.
a Verdict for Lindsay & Morgan in
the Weed Case.

a Verdict for Lindsay & Morgan in
the Weed Case.
The jury in the Weed case in the city
court yesterday afternoon found double
verdict for the defendants, Lindsay & Nor
gan.
j. d. Weed brought suit to dispossess
Lindsay g. Morgan, who occupy the new
four-story building erected by him on
Broughton and Barnard streets, for failure
to pay the first months rent at the rate of
$4,000 per annum, and another suit on a
distraint warrant to recover for the delin-
quent rent. The two cases were tried
Jointly.
The defendants denied that there was any
rent due at that time, and claimed that Mr.
Weed had contracted to erect four-story
building of such structure and finish as
would be suitable for their business, and
which was to be occupied for ten years by
defendants at an annual rental of 81, 600 per
annum, but that thu building and interior
finish are not what they should be under
the contract, and, claiming to hold the
building under the lease asked that no
more than a reasonable rental should be
exacted from them.
The plaintiff denied that any lease had
been entered into. in the absence of con-
tract such as defendants claimed.
In the proceeding to dispossess, the
language of the verdict of the jury was
very simple: 1--WE find for the defendant"
In the distress case the following verdict
was rendered: 1--WE, the jury, fiud for the
defendant on their amended plea and make
a deduction of $500 per annum in the rent
stated in the contract, and we find there is
no rent due until the expiration of the year,
to-wit, until Nov. Is, 1890, and we find for
the defendant"
The trial OF the cause occupied nearly
three days, and was conducted by Col
George A. Mercer for the plaintiff and
Judge A. P. Adams for defendants. 1t is
thought that the case will yet find its way
to the Suprenle cOlrt
