Some prospectors, while ranging ‘over the serion of billy at the head of formation, section, or whatever it may be called, and one that has caused considerable #Peculation on to its origin. It occurred in the rocks that crop out along the brow of the mountains. Imbedded about half-way into the smooth sur face of the quartzite was what ap ae oe leg bone of a human leg, broken off above the knee. cee ae point to the extremity , the toes, the abape was perfect, part of the femur, the patella, or knee joint, taraae metatarsus, and phalanges were latinly to be sea, and the joint of each a could be noticed as accurately as if it were a portion of a human skele ton. The slab of quartzite is a dark red, while the bones which it bolde in it a stony embrace are almost black. If it is a remnant of humanity—and such it is pronounced to be by every one who has seen it—the question aries, how did it come in He present position? The rock is as hard as flint, and the bones are as much part of it, and as solid, as the balance of the formation. From the place where I was broken off, just above the knee, to the end of the toes, it measures io r length 30 inches, which is out of all Proportion to the present lumen stat ‘are, and if we accept the theory that it is the fossil remains of a man, we should also have to pronounces that “there were giants in those days, an cient cave dwells perhaps, who roamed through the land in an age when civilization did obtains a happy Individual he uiwot have been.

But then there must have been some draw backs to his slven life after all, for he had no daily paper dropped at the mouth of his cave before breakfast, and consequently won in utter dark ness as to the final results of Bayes Southern policy, and if he was an allies-holder he lacked the opportunity of indorsing civil service reform. He never made a lucky deal in Ophir or Jumica. Nobody gave hime to a Mexican, or explained to hin aricacies of Anance, of the bene ficial effects of the resumption policy. All these he missed, and we might env 6 4 Jong lim If the sub ject Hot lesdutys us into the wide real aim of speculation.

Rapplemental Tax List.

One the most important of the omissions was that of Pasion Co., bankers, who credited with a tatal valuation of $30,000, while it was in reality just double that Ggure, they having paid the Assessor early in the scammer, one half of the tax.
