IS IT A CARDIFF GIANT J A Stooe Ulast Knearth(4 "n I'olwi a lt??The Slug ular Figure Dricribfd. A few months since, says a late num- j ber of the Pueblo (CoL) Chieftain, Mr. j W. A. Conant, who has been traveling in the region lying southwest of Pneblo, ( between this city and Mace's Hole, dis- , covered a variety of fossils, among others J a Be a turtle in an excellent state ui pre- ( servation. Mr. Conant called the atten- J. tion of the newspaper press of the State ( to his discovery, and considerable com- j ( ment was elicited. The matter gradually !, passed from the attention of the public, j ( though Mr. Conant determined to search ; , further in the same locality with the j hope of making additional discover- j ies. On Tuesday he arrived in the j city, bringing with him a large stone ; figure of a man which he had unearthed i | at the head of a long, dry arroyo about j [ six miles north of the residence of P. K. 1 Potson, Esq., about twenty-five miles j from the city. The figure was found im- , bedded in verv hard clav. requiring j. the backbone is a tail about two or tnree 1 inches long, strongly suggestive of the , truth of tho Darwinian theory. The figure was at Nyb rg & Bickers' stables j ail day on Tuesday, and visited by hundreds of our citizens. There is con-- , siderable excitement here over the discovery, and a general desire on the part j of all to hear the opinion of some scien-!! tist with regaxd to the origin cf tliie curious work of art. There can be no ji question about the genuineness of this j, piece of statuary. The stone shows the i; effect* of tune, and the circumstances of i . the discovery are such as to preclude j anything like a repetition of the clumsy i Cardiff Giant fraud. How the Xoney Goes. An attractive series of articles on Bussia, although unfriendly in tone, is now being printed in the Pall -Mall (fazettc, of London. That interesting subject no w?the army?has just been considered. The corruption iu the army is thus amusingly described : " The money ! that is set down in the estimates for the ! keep of a regiment is amply sufficient if | it reached its destination ; but a part j somehow sticks in th: war office; another lump gets lost between the fingers of the j general commanding the division ; the brigade general next mislays a portion ; finally the colonel comes, who thinks he should lie a zany if he did not levy his due commission upon the remainder. j The major filches all he can, because he does not get Ins pay regularly ; the captain foBbws snit, and the sergeant-major j plays the same card. The snrgeon who j direct* the infirmary sends in a long bill; for medicines, and gives his patients j vodki, which cures them quite as well.: The quartermaster pockets the money i that should go to mend the drains ; the ! adjutant gets a bonus from the oontract"rs -who snnnlv rotten wheat and tainted meat. Meanwhile, the Russian soldier is not discontented in the midst of his ( tilth and hardships. He plods on like one who is undergoing man's fated lot, ! and in war he fights like a hero for the men who plunder him." A Cough Cure. An Italian doctor (according to I** Monde*) attiibntes oough to the pres-' ence of a parasitic fungus in the airpassages. In grave cases this parasite j multiplies, and reaches into the lung J cells. Quinine has the property of stopping the development of microscopic fungi, and is therefore adapted as a i remedy in the present case. Dr. L. has used with success tho following powder :, Chlorhvdrate of quinine, one grain;, bicarbonate of soda, one grain ; gum j arabic, twenty grains. The bicarbonate of soda is meant to dissolve the mucus, and the gum arabic to increase tho ad-1 herence of the powder on the bionchial I oa^sacres. The insufflation (blowing in) of the powder should take place during a deep inspiration of Mie patient, so as to facilitate its penetration into the windpipe, which is the principal seat of the microscopic fungus. Skobeleff, the Russian general, swam j the Dannl>e on horseback to show it could be done, and has had five horses shot uuder him during this campaign. Daring one of his reconuoissanees near Plevna he came in view of a delicious spring of water, appareutiv inaccessible, however, because of the hail of Turkish ballets that pattered round it. The soldiers shrank back from facing almost j certain death, till Skobeleff dismounted, I leisurely walked to the fountain, drank j freely of its waters and bathed his face j and hands. Stung by this implied taunt the soldiers rushed forward to shield ; him ; Skobeleff ordered them under j arrest for leaving their ranks and calmly walked back vigorous use oI a pick to loosen it. A J ( cedar tree grew near by, one of the , roots of which had grown between the I ] arm and the body of the figure, making \, it necessary to cut the root before re-11 moving the statue from the bed in which j ] it had doubtless reposed for centuries. ( Mr. Conant states that while sitting on : ( 1 he ground eating his lunch in the local- j , ity above mentioned, his attention was attracted to a curious looking itone pro-! j truding from the ground. He removed j. the earth from around it and found a' resemblance to a human. He then pro-' ceeded to dig away the clay about a foot j j iu depth and soon uncovered the entire tigure, aud, having obtained assistance, , brought it to this city. Unfortunately, in , removing the figure from its bed a wood- ! en lever was placed under the neck and . the head broken off. It has, however, been neatly replaced. At first the dis- ; oovery was supposed to be the petrified ! body of a human being of gigantic stat- , nre, but closer examination proves it to ' bo a piece of sculpture, but by whom j. executed or to what age it belongs no . one seems to know. It is composed of a sort of slate rock colored a dirty yellow on the outside, possibly from contact with the surrounding clay, and repre 8611 is ft man reciuuiug, uuc mm ucuj.% . crossed over his breast, and the other !; lying along his side with the hand resting on his leg. The position is easy and ' natural. The entire length of the statue i is seven feet six inches, length of arm four feet one inch, breadth across the shoulders two feet, length, of hand twelve and one-half inches, length of 1 foot thirteen inches. The weight of the [ figure is about four hundjed and fifty pounds. The type of the human race represented is a 'strange one. The head, ' which is turned slightly to one side, as is natural iu a reclining position, is of ( the Asiatic type, a sort of a cross be- j1 tween an ancient Egyptian and an . American Indian, the cheek bones being remarkably prominent. The figure is ; ' spare and thin, muc& like the men in !' ancient Egyptian pictures, while the ! 1 whole body is covered with indentations. One remarkable feature which strikes | , the observer is the great lengths of the !' arms and the ape-like appearance of the liands and feet. The hand which rests i , on the leg, if the arm were straightened, would reach to the knee, while the feet are long, flat and slim, and the great toes ' ; about two inches shorter than those in the middle of the feet At the end of | STAGE ROAD LANDLORDS. Home Anerdotea About Tbrn-Uow a Judge Foraged a Meal-Ben Stlckner'a Ruse? A tMllJ Uiem-mariciei aiaa?i o>?Bv PoufDceri and Landlords. The race of the stage road Boniface is dying out rapidly. Pullman dining cars are doing ior him what railroads have already done for the Jehus of the stageroach. Tue places that once knew them will soon know them no more, and many < old travelers over our Western plains and mountains who enjoyed the ready wit and cheerful off-handedness of the one, and the rude hospitality and abundant cheek of the othes, will sadly miss these types of Western Americanism. It was more common years ago than it has been recently for landlord and stage driver to have an understanding with each other, whereby, for a consideration paid the driver, hungry travelers were soarcely allowed time to comfortably seat themselves at table, when the driver would announce the immediate departure of the stage, thus cheatiug people out of : a meal who paid for one. I remember being one of a stage load of hungry travelers crossing the Sierra Neva das before railroads had spanned it, when a led liim there among a stage load of hungry travelers, who were only comfortably seated at the table of mine host of the Strawberry, when they were hurried from their scarcely tasted meal by the threat of the driver to go off without them. But Ben, with utter unconcern, sat Btill while the stage drove away, and enjoyed the good things with which the table was laden. Ben ate enough at that meal to supply a good 6ized family with sufficient provender for a day. He was just putting in the finishing touches when the landlord approached him, pale and excited. "Pardon me, sir," he stammered,* "but?but my silver spoons and forks are missing." "Well, you don't suppose I have them, do you ?" Ben demanded, looking up haughtily. "Oh, no, not at all, but I thought you might know if any of the stage passengers had taken them; that is, I mean, if any of them acted suspiciously, you know?" "Well," answered Ben in a mollified tone, " that does remind me that I saw one of them?a pretty hard-looking fellow?handling the contents of the spoonholder very familiarly." Would you be able to recognise him, sir ?" eagerly questioned Boniface. "Excuse me, but the stolen articles were solid silver. I never set down any other kind for my guests, sir." "Yes, I'd know the rascal anywhere," Ben replied, confidently. "If I hitched up a team and overtook the stage, would you be kind enough to point him out to me ?" " Certainly ; I can spare the time, and villainly ought to be exposed." A few minutes later the landlord and Ben, seated behind a spanking pair, were whirling down the " grade " toward Carson Valley at a two-forty gait. But it was no easy matter to overtake a Pioneer coach, drawn by six untamed mustangs mercilessly lashed by the whip. Ben enjoyed the ride, however, and when, after two hours of wild driving by Boniface, the coach was hailed and stopped, much to the wonderment and alarm of its inmates, and the pursuers with foam-oovered horses drew alongside. Ben sprang down from his comfortable seat and got into the stage. " Is that fellow in there ?" shouted the landlord. "He's here, sure, big as life," Ben shouted back. " Thunder I Just show him to me." "I'm your man," answered Ben, with inimitable coolness. "You! ye?ye?you!" stuttered the landlord in blank amazement. " Just so, my friend. You'll find the wksiug spoonR and forks in the ice-cooler. Thanks Air. Boniface for a square meal and a pleasant ride. -Drive on, Johnny!" "Sold, by the eternal," groaned the landlord, as, lashing his horses, he drove oil' amidst the shouts of the amused passengers. An experience of a somewhat different character was that which is frequently told at the expense of a landlord. The stage drew up at his tnnehe one day with a passenger list so beggarly that it reduced the expectant and smiling Boui noted judge, still on the benoh, and an equally noted professor of an Eastern college were of the party. Our arrival it a dining station was hailed with delight by all the party, and we filed into the dining-room to attack the savory viands, the landlord, however, first taking care to collect the fee for the meal from each of us. We had cer- ' tainly not been five minutes at the table, j and some of us, in waiting to be helped to coffee, had not tasted a mouthful of food, when our driver shouted : "All aboard. I'm behind time, and can't wait a minute longer." A look of mingled consternation and disgust spread from face to face as we sprang from the table, but the judge remained cool, as he touched the professor on the arm. " Will you see to the bread supply, if I take care of the meat ?" he queried. The Professor caught at his purpose and promptly assented. In another instant the Judge had conveyed a large turkey and a couple of spring chickens, ready carved, from their platters to two uapkins, while the Professor emptied the contents of the bread plates into another, and led by the Judge they marched triumphantly to the coach. Their example was contagious ; each of the passengers hastily confiscated some article of food?meats, vegetables, even, and pastry?until the dining-room was pretty thoroughly stripped of everymalrfl nn +rw-vnrv-km. 111111g tUOl fl CUV IV iAIIIIiV M|/ VUV WliWMA~ mitants of a good meal, and the interior of the coach bore the appearance, I imagine, of a bivouac of Sherman's j bummers after a raid, while the bewildered and amazed lock on the face of the ! speechless landlord as we drove off would have proven a priceless study to any artist. The roars of laughter it caused us proved a good condiment to j our strangely improvised meal. The way*Ben. Stickney got over a tricky Boniface of this stamp is more Amusing. Ben. was manager of one of the silver mines on the "Comstock," ] and made frequent trips between the j mine and San Francisco. The landlord at Strawberry, where the stage stopped for meals, prided himself on setting as tempting a table, so far as looks went, as any hrst-class hostelry in San Francisco. Certainly the table linen was of the whitest, the china a genuine article, ' the silver service rich and abundant, and the spoons and forks solid silver; but as to the quality of the viands served on this sumptuous table, the memory of stage travelers vouched not, for owing to the understanding between stage-driver and landlord, none of them ware ever known to have secured a whole meal there. Ben Stickney having been a victim to their little game a goo I many times, at last swore loud and long to get his money's worth the next time ha va!a<1 that wav Occasion soon ! I face to a state of despair, and to an abstruse calculation of his profit and loss account. Among the few dust-begrimed passenger? that tiled in to feast on the good things spread on his hospitable t board, was a verdant looking individual, who tightly clutched one of those oldfashioned, capacious mouthed carpet bags with vast bowelled depth that our j grandfathers used in their journeys, and ! xl?i ? ??? aIIm 1a/1am witU 4-n?A cV*srfo U11H Wiia USlliUlJ illUCll wit-u inu nuuiD aud a month'8 lnnclieon. Tliia particu-' lar carpet bag was notable only for the apparent extreme paucity of its contents, I and when our verdant traveler slunk bashfully to the unoccupied end of the long dining table, and seated himself in ' one of the chairs, he deposited his dusty bag on a vacant chair at his side. So 1 industriously did he attack the viands , before him, that Boniface tapped him on the shoulder several times before he hurriedly produced a dollar, the usual price of a meal. " Your bill is two dollars," said Boniface. "Hay !" - Two dollars, if you please." - Gosh all mighty, landlord," ho exclaimed, -you don't mean to say you tax a fellow two dollars for a meal like this ?" - Our charge is a dollar for every chair occupied at the table. Your bag ; monopolizes a seat, and the charge for 1 it is the same as for a person." -But, Jedge, see here, now, the bag hain' eaten a mouthful." 4' Can't help that; there are the viands before it, and if it don't partake of them, it isn't my fault. Come, sir, pay over ; I haven't time to argue tne matter." "Wall, squire, maybe it's all right, but it seems mighty rough on a fellow. Here's your two dollars." And the owner of the bag sat down j and hastily finished his meal, amid the I audible smiles of his fellow-passengers; i and the very perceptible grin of exulta- J I tion on the landlord's face. His meal 1 done, he turned to his bag, opened it, | shook out its creases and folds, and with i provoking tang froid, thus addressed it, ; loud enough for all in the room to hear :! "I beg your pardon, Mr. Bag, for i making you wait for the second table, i Hungry, eh ? I should rather tliink so, with nothing inside of you but a shirt and a paper collar, and there isn't much I substance in them. Like roast beef, eh ? Here's a nice piece weighing a dozen pounds, I guess. Whew ! you took that in at one gulp, and it don't seem to dis tress you eithei. Try this breast of J lamb ? I can recommend it. Sorry the j mint SAuce is all out. Biscuit ? Yes, here's a hull plate full. Biscuit are rather tryin' on one's digestive machinery, they say; suppose you try a couple nf hrnod fin frtn nf tlipm VS1 I^Jai^lUAO VI Vivuu VI- .vj- v. ?. i Have a spring chicken? Two? Well, you are cheeky; but here they are. You don't wait to pick 'em, I see. Some more biscuit ? There you have 'em " Suiting his actions to these words, the J owner of the bag stuffed into its capacious interior everything edible that lay within his reach, regardless of the consternation depicted in the face of the landlord, who rushed up to stop him. " This is robbery, sir; downright rob- j bery!" he thundered. "I will not sub- ' mit to it," "See here, now, squire, just keep : cool and we'll argue this, "calmlv replied j the verdant one, not letting up, however. . in his occupation of filling the bag. " Didn't this bag pay for a square meal|? What is a square meal if it isn't to eat I I till one is satisfied ? Isn't that so, j gents ?" His fe.'low-passengers, who were roaring with laughter, readily assented. " Now, that being the verdict of this ; jury, let me tell you, Mr. Landlord, that i j this bag ain't going to be satisfied until i it is chock full. I'm its friend, and any i one that interferes with its meal will get ! i eternally lammed, that's all " He meant every word of it, and the ! landlord wisely withdrew, looking a ; ! splendid example of the biter bitten. 1 Singular Australian Bird. A family of Australian birds, says a writer in Good Words, which are the ; most anomalous of all in their habits, are the brush turkeys, which we may look upon as supplying the place of the | i pheasant and grouse, and whose unique j domestio economy is specially adapted ; for the peculiar conditions of Australian existence. The mother of a family j of brush turkeys is very far removed ; j from the position of a domestic drudge ; and enjoys complete immunity from the j , slavery of incubation. The old birds in i spring share the labor of collecting an ! enormous mass of half-decayed leaves j 1 and earth, five feet high, and sometimes : forty-five feet in circumference. As j soon as the hotbed, by the fermentation of the vegetable matter, attains a heat of about eighty-nice degrees Fahrenheit, the hen bird deposite her eggs, one after another, in the center. They are very j carefully arranged in a circle on their ends and then covered to a considerable height with leaves and earth. When hatched, the young birds scratch their own way out, and are able at birth not only to run, but to fly sufficiently well ' to enable them to perch on trees out of harm's way. The mother, however, seems generally to hang about the neighborhood, and to assume at once the education and guidance of the family. The solution of tliis extraordinary peculiarity is, as Mr. Wallace has pointed 1 out, only to be found in the peculiar con-! ditions of the open regions of Australia, where prolonged droughts and scanty j water supply entail a periodical scarcity of food. The confinements of the parents to one spot for the purpose of I incubation might "under these circum- i stanoes lead to starvation and the consequent death of the offspring, but with j free power to roam the birds may easily find sustenance, and the young, fully de- , veloped at birth, are at once capable of 1 prolonged and extended journeys. Egypt in New York. The New York World says that the Khedive of Egypt has signified his willingness to present to the city of New York, upon proper application, the twin i "Needle," the sister-obelisk of that pre- j sented and sent to England. This shaft stands upon the sea-shore, a monolith of the granite of Syene, seventy feet in height, and is a familiar iandmark to all travelers who have visited Alexandria, F.orvnf The liiproclvDhics on its sea- j X"" ?x. ward face have been partly effaced by the action of the salt wind and spray j dnring more than 1,800 years, and its base is so much worn and mutilated, that it is likely to be prostrated by a Mediterranean cyclone at some future day. It is of the same age as the English obelisk- that of Thothmes III., which gives it an antiquity of 3,400 years. The English contractors, who are uow conveying the latter to Louden, are said to have offered to transport the khedive's gift to New York, and to erect it in any location wliich may be chosen, for the" sum of 3100,000, taking upon themselves the whole risk of the enterprise. Halt Luke City just at piesent reminds one of a Wall street speculation; there's no grout prophet in it. Elephants as Timber Carriers. One of the great industries of Burruali is the timber trade. Tho teak wood, , which is the chief timber cut aud shipped, is very heavy aud requires prodigious force to handle it; aud as the Burmese are not enough advauced to use i machinery for the purpose, they employ elephants, and bravely do the noble beasts perform their task. In the timber yards, both at Itangoon and at Maulmain, all the heavy work of drawing and piling the logs is done by them. I have never seen animals showing such intelligence and trained to such docility 1 and obedience. In the yard that we visited there were seven elephants, five ! of which were at that moment at work. Their wonderful strength came into play in moving huge pieces of timber. I did not measure the log9, but should think that many were at least twenty feet long and a foot square. Yet a male ele- ! phant would stoop down, and run his tusks under a log, and throw his trunk over it, and walk off" with it as lightly as a gentleman would balance his bamboo cane on the top of his finger. Placing it on the pile, he would measure it with i??a ami if it nroiected too far at ii.O V JV,, ? -- J , either end, would walk up to il, and, with a gentle push or pull, would make < the pile even. If a still heavier log needed to be j moved on the ground to some part of , the yard, the mahout, sitting on the elephant's head, would tell him what to do, , and the great creature seemed to have a ( perfect understanding of his master's i will. He would put out his enormous j foot and push it along, or he would bend his head, and crouching half way to the ground and doubling up his trunk in front, throw his whole weight against it, and thus like a ram would " butt " the log into its place ; or if- it needed to be taken a greater distance he would put a chain around it and drag it off behind him. The female elephant especially was employed in drawing, as having no tusks she could not lift like her big brothers, but could only move by her power of traction or attraction. Tnen using her trunk as deftly as a lady would use her fingers, she would untie the knot or unhitch the chain and return to her master, perhaps putting out her trunk to receive a banana as a reward for her good conduct. It was a very pretty sight, and gave us a new idea of the value of these noble creatures and of the way in which they can be trained for the service of mam?Dr. Field's Letters in the Evangelist Allied Enemies to Health. In many of the fairest and most fertile districts of frortb and tropical America, air and water are allied enemies to health, both being impregnated with the poisonous miasmata. which produce chills and fever, bilious remittents and febrile disorders of a still more malignant type. Fortunately, a sure preventive and curative of such destructive maladies is to be found in Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a vegetable preparation which is infinitely to be preferred, both on account of its efficacy and freedom from all hurtful properties, to the deleterious mineral and alkaloid remedies of the pharmacopoea. It is moreover, the reigning specific for dyspepsia, debility, constipation, urinary troubles, rheumatism, and nervousness, promotes appetite and sleep, and is a capital antidote to depression of spirits.
