Alcohol and Evolution.

Considering the possible influence OF
alcohol upon humans evolution, DR..
Harry Campbell asserts that such CIV
ilizations as those of Babylon and
Egypt may date back 10000 years, and
that agriculture by migratory tribes
may extend back $4,000 years more,
but concludes that the Use of alcohol
as a beverage has not been known
more than 10000 years. He finds NO
reason to believe that, as was sug-
gested some years ago, the discovery
of fermented liquor gave the first civ
ilizing quickening to the brain Of ape
man.

It is learned that the attempt to
organize a new national bank in place
Of the defunct Bank of Staten Island
is not meeting the success that its
promoters expected. Messrs. ]. ".
Place & Co., of Manhattan, submitted
a proposition to the deposito1s in the
defunct bank to organize n national
bank, capitalized at 500, 600, and in
return for the support and co-opera-
ton given by the depositors, the new
bank. or those behind it, agreed to
advance money on the amounts to
their credit in the Bank of Staten
Island, taxing an assignment OF their
claims as collateral for tile loan.
A member Of the committee of
fifteen appointed by the depositors Of
the Bank of Staten Island to cooperate
with Messrs. Place, said yesterday =
"The stock for the new bank is not
being disposed Of quickly. In fact,
most of what has been bought has
been taken by a few, rather than by
the majority. Things are moving
sic WY. OF course, the entire amount
can be disposed of in Manhattan, but
we do not want that. We want the
bank to be a local n and the share
holders residents of the borough, bnt
the people are not falling yer each
other to subscribe. Persons who have
opened accounts with other banks are
satisfied to remain where they are.
