The ?xoesaive ?old . of tbi ?rotio regions o?uaea a gt eat ?o ? formity io the speoiea bf animals. The poler boar ia the sam- in Kurop--, Asia, and America, ?nd ao are aHJO - ? great ? ?any bird?. Io the temperate regions, . while the animals differ on the diff?rent eODtioenta, still they.preserve the same k general features. Under the torrid zone, ?hi animal as well as the vegetable kingdom attains - ita highest develop meat. The animals of the tropics present the greatest variety among themselves, and the most . gracefully proportioned forms and brilliant coloring, are found by the aid? of the moat grotesque io . form and oolor. Besides these influences, ? thoro aro no doubt those of a higher ? order which ?re involved, and intimately as?qpiated with the development of life, on tho face of tho earth. To obtain a true picture of the zooio gicut distribution of animale, not the terrestrial types alone, but the marine ' apeoiea must also be included. Not .withstanding the uniform nature of the Watery element, the animals which dwell tn U are not dispersed at random, ant! though the limits of the mariue may be .less easily defined than the terrestrial faunas, still marked difieren cos between the an?mala ol' tho great basins of the ocean aro hot leas observable. Proper ly to apprehend how marino animals may be distributed ?uto. looa! faunas, it must be remembered that their r.osidenoe is .not in the high sea, but along the ooasts of Continents and sounds. It is 00 the coast of Newfoundland and not in the deep sea, that the great codfish ery is carried on, and even when fish migrate, they travel along the shore, and do not * make their journoy through the deep. A very influential cause in the distribu? tion of aquatio animals, is the depth of Water. The moluaks, and even the fishes found near the shore io shallow water, differ io general from those liv ing at a depth of twenty or thirty feet, and these again are found to differ from those whioh are met with at a greater depth The science of Zoology has ad van oed with great rapidity of late years. A century ago, the number of known ani? mals did not exceed 8000, while now there are many private collections ot certain families of insects alono, whioh contain a greater number. The number of living apeoies which have been sat? isfaotorily made out and described is moire than 60,000, and the fossils already described exceed 6000 species. As in tho histoajl of man several grand periods havo been - established Under tho natue ot ages, marked by pe? culiarities in his .social and intellectual condition, so iu tho history of the earth are distinguished several great periods, whioh may bo distinguished as the varions ages of nature, illustrated by the fossil remains, which by certain general traits stamped upon thom, olear ly iudicato the eta to which they bc* long. Agassiz's four agos correspond to thc great Geological divisions, viz : The primary or Paloozoio Age. Bur ing this age, th ero were no air breath? ing animals. Tho fishes were tho masters of creation. It may therefore be fitly called the reign of Fisltes. The Secondary Age.-This is the epoch in which tho air-breathing ani? male just appear. Kept iles predominate over the other classes, and may therefore bo called tho reian of Reptile?. The Tertiary Age.-Terrestrial main mais of great size abound during this period, and is therefore called the regln of Mammals T/ie Modem Age.-This age is char? acterised by tho appearance of man, the most pcrf'eot of ali created being?, and is callud the reign of Man. Mau, who belongs to the present age, is tho crowning pieco of nature's works With a corporeal and spiritual nature, the ono ia charactered by its upright position, and the other by its high in. tolled ?al und moral endowments. Foi ages tho world was in preparation foi mau. Immense metalio, mineral and chemical treasures were stored away io tho great treasury of nature. All thc vari?os metals, precious stones, ch otu i eels in their endlesa variety, and th? inexhaustible coal beds, wore deposited .and arranged? the waters wero fillet with fish, the air with fowls, sud th? earth with vegetables and animals fo the use of man. Th? hons? waa firs built, then furnished, th?lt abundant! provisioned .for man's sustenance, am theu hf, tho lord of all, was introduced Man is a unit in hi? species.

Now, ti the dog is unquestionably a unit in ape?las, aud derivad, from a common origi n, where is the difficulty in predicating the fame thing of mao, in whom there, are fewer difference* than in the dog? The in? ference then is legitimate, that tho Creator "hath made of one blood, alt the bati?os of men, for to dwell on all the face ot the earth/^ 'M%wki A KNAVK'8 THIS THU, Parson Whittemore has been re? turned to the House of Representatives, by a.vote almtst unprecedented io. ita unanimity. Returns from nearly every Starter ot th o'district in dicato tpat the oroughly organized black cohorts ral lied with enthusiasm to the slogan of the oulprit, whose guilt was too palpa? ble for even the brazen front of Radi? calism to attempt apology or exten?a tion for it : ?j Intelligence from Washington justi? fies the expectation that. Whitteraore will be received Without question- from his Radios) confreres' in Congress, and that there: will be no serious opposition to his ad mission-'from any quarter. In doed it. is singular that the scoundrel, who is simply a type of the carpet-bag olass, wAfOse business in tho South is simply to make rooney, honestly or dis - honestly, should ever have boon voted "unworthy" of a seat in the present House of Keprebootatives. Let us re? member that whittemore was proven guilty of nothing more serious than bribery and peoalation. He had hardly stolen enough to become famous, and of the peculiar sort of property necessary to acqnire dignity in the noble C. B. fraternity. If he has ever appropriated anybody's baby-linen, knives and forks or chamber furniture, the faot has had no ohroniele in the annuls of our time. Why indeed should that body of Peck sniffs, in a sort of moral spasm, have victimised Whittemore alone and suf? fered other culprits to go, not unpun iahed alone, but even unsuspected. Tho reason is plain : Radicalism does not hate orime, but it dreads detection, and Whittemore was punished, not for be? ing a scoundrel, but for being caught in his knavery. Even 09 it was, a numbor of those who voted to dislodge him shook his hand cordially as he passed in shame and unger from the Hall; having then already repented their fit of virtue and honesty, and taken fright lesta similar severity might bo displayed towards themselves. They are, doubtless, re? lieved and gratified now at the oppor? tunity to make full amonds for their uodue harshness towards an unfortunate brother ; and when he oomes back with his certificate of election by a solid black loyal constituency, they will open wide arms of welcome, and take to their bosom tho sleek, unblushing "loi 1** knave. We have no disposition to make spe sial protest against Radical conduct in this caso of Whittemore. It has been sonsistent, aud that is the worst that can be alleged agaiust it. Whittemore will >nly go back to congenial company, With the stigma of theft upon him, his ?orapanionship will bo omioently suita? ble. Less with the purpose of comment og upon anew Radical crime against lonesty and decency, and .tho latest Radical defiance of public opinion, than with the view of calling attention to That, we fear, is an unpleasant incident louncotcd with Whittcmore's election, lo we make it a subject of editorial liscussion. We observo with pain that io serious effort was made against iVhittemore, although the gentleman, vho was a candidate against him, is an ?xoeediugly deserving man. The ap >arcnt hopelessness of contesting the ileotion with Whittemore may explain that would otherwise have been the esult of a very shortsighted policy and inpar louable error. We have no pur iose to censure the intelligent voters rho live in Whittcmore's district, and rho plainly did not even go to tho polls nd perform the duty of a silent protest gainst an effort to degrade themselves. Jut the occasion suggests a lesson full if instruction to the people of this state n their own political concerns. It is a 'retched business to let an election go y default for any reason whatsoever, nd the man who has no choice between scoundrel and un honest man, even hough nominally of the same political rganization, is himself unfit for the irTv liege of suffrage.
