The Dovelopinont Theory.
Historic Art Arrayed Against Science.
Now York Time's Iteport of AY. 0. Prime’s
Lecture.
The study of art also teaches af
firmatively that the theories of mod
ern s-'h nee are false. Bunsen’s well
known argument, that man existed
F1,700 years in Egypt, based on bor
ings in the Nile. and. posit m ar old Mem
phis. is a ease where scientists
should have asked the aid of art .stu
dents. The boring was made under
the Hatnto t*f l!aiu; bos, and pottery
found at the depth of thirty-two feet;
the deposit being three and one-half
inches to the century. The art st.u
lent won! ! ask first, how the statute
came there, an .1 knowing that nvnnal
and lake were dug to float it there,
audits foundations laid deep in the
sand muler the alluvium, the art stu
dent, says the polit ry was that of the
workmen who erected the statue, only
3,000 vea rs ago.
The lecturer then laid down the
proposition that the study of ancient
| art indicates that, le-.s than 5,000 years
! ago the human race was eon lined ton
small family ros'dieg in Western
Asia. Tic proceeded to show this by
tracing backward the histories of va
rious arts, such as the the art of mak
ing of btombs, which disappeared in
Europe less than -1.000 years ago, in
Egypt goes buck to the date of the
Pyramid of Cheops, about -1,300
years ago. The question of Egypti m
chronology was discussed, and the
weigh! of authority declared to ill fa
vor of this dale. ill is suppose, | that
E vpl Was colonized from Babylonia,
and the recent, discoveries of Marietta
Bey confirm this. The oldest tombs
in Babylonia date about 2,3000 years
ago.
The art of coinage was (raced from
the Macedonian and Sicilian splendor
back to its lonian or Lydian origin.
Then money used bv v.. ight was
traced back to the origin in barter
and t •mhaiege of animals, the Hebrew
Kcuhila. a lamb giving name to mon
ey in that language, and Few's, tlie
flock. givin fin' Latin /■'•oh tin. and the
E;cd! L ye. a din-'!. The :.rt- of writ

two alphabets of Egypt an i 8.-.bohm
The art of spoken laie'ii ’go was rap

of pottcry was declared to
be lb. i I ! -t of art -of -dli. :t ions'*
and on this the left : rer dwelt, at some
length, vdvmg •: ‘id: of the Li-tory
of :or" e and : i t • .! .■ < :ig n,
its origin In I .1 as ear' -as th.
pva• and ' of Cii" .anl of uteri an and

Valiev. ' • 1. ctnr, r then : l'utb 1 t-;
tie. hist'u v of ureiiilee; nre. of work in
tut ttilts, and other . rls. He then sum
med :*.;> to • argument by saving* that
anv one of :':*, e of art would not. be.
of itself. <■ . , In ive proof that tin
race did not . ;NI before the art exist
ed; biU th and tlie converging lives of
, teh '-and arv art toward the saw
points of time and place amount, and to
a convincing tit yn I rat ion. Tubing
the groatt rt spread of each art as the
widest distant between the lines which
include it on a chart, and bringing
them together through the divisions
of time on tin. same chart, it appears
that whatever be the rapidity or slow
ness .of their convergence they nil
point to t.ho same date and geograph
ical origin. Therefore, about five
thousand years ago, the race of man
began to exl-t. or Abet s wrott iirtth
and r.muc great, deluge bad swept
away the ancestral hosts, aad until
was beginning again.
The lecturer then said no man need
meet this argument with tlm develop
ed nt, theory, for if a man was devel
oped at that time ho was developed a
giant, in the image of a god. His
works Were as great, or greater than
ours. VTe must, not judge the civili
zation oft th. r time-*, by our standards
and ideas. The invention of a wheel
was a greater inv. ntion than that of a
steam engine. The invention of a
written language is greater than that
of the printing press. Inventions are
great in proportion to the necessities
of a people. A wheelbarrow is worth
more to people in some circumstances
than a r.tilroa !. A thousand years
hence civilization, its Listen ami em
ployments, mdy boas different from
ours as oms from the Egyptian, and
then mt'n wonder what craziness pos
sessed the people who loved to ride at
forty miles an hour and talk to each
othc’* by lighter g, So, 100, in taste.
The . ireeks were as refined and lux
urious a ; we, and had brilliant glass,
but pieferrcd to drink their Samian
wiea out of black ie. lives, as heavy as
modern basins. Wo have no right to
judge their tastes by onr standards.
But even by onr own standard the
men of early ages wore our equals,
and in many respects our superiors.
They made as fine fabrics of linen as
we. The architect has not lived for
three thousand years who could build
Karnak. It, was in the ancient days
that vast, walls in Babylon gleamed
with enamel. The die-cutter has not
worked for twenty centuries who
could equal the engraver of ancient
gems. Wo men of the nineteenth
century are pigmies in comparison
with those who built the pyramids
and reared the monolithic obelisk
pointing to the (rod from whom they
were proud to claim their origin.

One of th”. most interesting of these

Philadelphia, accompanied by a “Hebei

she landed the troops. It gives me
pleasure to return it to a worthy son
|of Georgia, with tlio hope that, the

to appreciate a brave mail. The no

your speech in reply to Mr. Blaine,

always admired him. May (Tod bless

A Big Game ol‘ Draw.
: An Inti* red hi a* Incident of Life im the
Mississippi Daring the War.
They were sitting around the table
in a Fifteenth ward faro bank that is
; temporarily cl'Mcd through some mi -
: understanding with tho police, and
having tired of short-curds foil to tell
j ing stories.
“You may have heard this one,”
said a square-jawed, firm-faced gray
| whiskered man, “for it was printed
] briefly at, the time; but L was there:
| “In the latter part of (11 I took a
; trip down the river. Them eanni on
board at Cairo a young paymaster
who was on bis way to pay a brigade
: of troops somewhere iu the neighbor-
I hood of Vicksburg. It was very qui
; i t oil the boat, and on the first, night
below Cairo (lie paymaster spent a
good deal of bis time after supper
I walking up and and >*.vn the saloon.
There was also walking up and down
the saloon a trim, square-shouldered
man who seetno 1 to be suffering from
the same tedionsness; and when they
bad met, a few times the stranger
smiled a little at tho paymaster and
sai i:
‘•Hull.”
“D dull’’ said the paymaster.
“Suppose we have a l.ttlo game of
draw, ” said the stranger.
“Good ill,’ said the paymaster,
and they sat down and v ent at it.
“Both of them were playing merely i
to pass time, at least the paymaster f
and the other man seemed to lie.
“They had ons way and tho other
for ar. hour or two playing about 35
for a top bet, neither of them winning
or losing much, but still getting more
and more interested. Finally each
teemed to get a big* band, and th y b s
gan betting heavy in the most natural
sort of wav. The fire bad been
smouldering, yon sec, and it broke cut :
appureutly wit bout their knowing if .
“Neither of them s, enird disposed
to Itv down, and they’ kept on raising
and raising till they were making
bets of two, three, five hundred del-,
lars, and they got the pot up to
about seven thousand. Then She
stranger rested his eye on the pay
master for n moment, and unde an es
timate of the amount of his pluck
and the probable size of his pile,
and the result of his observations
seemed to be a In L f that lie could
bluff or ha him out; f<>v he threw •
his Laud down ” f , !he b>hb>, ami
ie.ot I: ,ve: i.w 1 pa: ■ , 1 a ho ais h, ;,
out, of his boot, and i'i oiv the pos.d <
~fir, down through the cards into the
table. Then ho took out of his breast
pod .t, and counted out twenty-one
fi*.. bunas, i dollar notes. He saw
flic payni: stes’s last bet of five hun
dred, am! lie hanh .1 a revolver off his
hip, pushed tho twenty other bills in
to the pot arid said :
“Iv: i-o von ton thousand dollars.”'
‘ Tho paymaster looked at. the gam
bler about two seconds. Then lie
is oki.ned to bis colored hov, a bright
young fellow who bad taken the tiling
in from the start, and who would have
given his master tin: wink if he had ;
ever happened to la,ok in his direo-'
tion, which he hadn’t. But he bright-.:
ennl up when lie hoard the word, and
walked straight off for tin: paymas
ter's state room. He disappeared a
moment, and then showed up again,
backing through the door, dragging;
a trunk after him; and ho came down \
the saloon roiling that trunk, along;
on its end, just: as handy as though
he had smashed baggage on a through 1
lino all his life. Tim paymaster took ,
a key out of his vest, pocket, thru”' up
iho lid of the trunk, arid took off a
shoot of soln leather that, seemed to
am .: as a ' >rt of a binder to the bun
dles of bills underneath. He took ]
two big packages out of tlio end
and laid them tip on one side of the
table. Then he began faking out tho
other bundles and stacking them up
on the table in front of him. He kept
taking out and stacking up till he h.M
built a big triangle shaped pile, like
two pair of stairs meeting at the top
and all filled in solid -underneath.
“Then he threw his hand down on ]
the table and pulled a ho wie knife out
of hi si.not ami spiked it down through
tlm cards, anil while tho handle’ was I
still shivering he handed tho two bun- ]
dies to tlie wiJdle of ihe table and
said:
‘I sec your ten thousand dollars’—]
hero he braces back against the pine
and began shoving it lip the table, i
continuing to talk all the time—‘and! ;
raised you a hundred and seventy-five !
thousand !’ and thou (ho did it so]
quick I conld’nt see it when it was •
done) ho had a pistol off of each hip
and was resting an elbow half way up
on each side of the green back stairs,
both shooters covering the gambler,
and holding them very straight and
steady, too.
“Now, the gambler was an older!
man and of much more experience
than tho paymaster, and under any!
sort of circumstance, ho could have]
handled him ten to one, and he knew ]
it, and had no thought of laying down ’
even then arid he seemed to revolve
the things in his mind for about a
quarter of a minute, and when lie
had settled what to do lie looked up i
ready to act, but one glance at, the
1 layinastev made him change his mind :
for ho could see shining through the
yong man’s face all the accumulated
unused grit of years, and a man with |
half an eye could have seen tliat lie
meant business.
“The gambler realized that fact. Ho
pulled bis knife out of the table,
stuck his pistol in bis pocket, and
walked off down the saloon, whistling
'Hosa Lee’ just as soft and pleasant
as though he was going for a cigar
after dinner.
‘Then tho paymaster booted his
knife, slung his shooters and packed
liis trunk, putting along with the rest
the thirteen thousand odd of the gam
bler's money; and ho didn’t take any
more draw that, trip.
“And tam told that he was so
much impressed by the iv.vi kn 1 :
to himself of his own backbone and
nerve that he made up bis mind then
was something better for him to do
than wasting his time in gambling,
and lie hasn’t handled a card since.

Tit h ind. — The following statement
which lias recently been laid before
] ns, would appear to be a proper sub
jeet for investigation at the hands of
your honorable body.
Shorllv after the first inauguration j
of I’rcsident Grant, in 18(1'.), a certain |
New Yorker addressed a letter to an j
offiei l* who had h Id a high rank in the !
army during the war, saying in sub- j
: Gance; “If you will procure tnv ap-1
p . . . nt to the posit ion of T will pay ,
you the sum of 320,000.” The officer in !
question was not engaged in that line
j of business, and felt justly indignant
;at becoming i lie recipient of such a
scandalous offer. He made no reply •
to the letter, which was soon followed !
an bv unavailing personal appeal. But
chancing to be in Washington shortly j
after, ho met Orville E. Babcock, and j
j thinking that it was proper that the]
President should know what efforts
had been made to procure a Incut afire I
office through purchased influence, lie
laid bt fore Babcock the facts in the 1
case. Babcock appear* -1 more inter
ested than surprised. He wanted to j
! see the letter. It was Shown to him,
and lie said after reading it- carefully:
i “Give me this letter. You don’t want
] it, atnd I do,” Thinking that Babcock
desired to sho\V it to the President,
j the army office readily complied with
the request. Ho went away satisfied
; that the would bo briber would be
made to feel the power of the Chief
j Magistrate’s wrath.
Six* weeks later ho was overwheltn
led with surprise at finding that the
1 man who had offered .$20,000 for an
i office had been appointed by Ulys
] ses S. Grant to that very position.
Four months later, this excellent
representative of civil service reform
i was overtaken in corrupt prac
tices and forced to resign his
place.
To protect cabbages and' other
plants from cut worms, make a ring
nt'salt around each plant about air

Another, pour strong tobacco water
around the roots.
To keep bugs from tlio vines sim
ply hollow out the holes for cnemn
jl; r, squash,* melon and pumpkin
vines ami put in* a pint or so of lien
manure. ( over with earth and plant
the seed. While the vines growTux
uriatly it will be too unpalatable for
: the bugs.
Another is to sow a few radish seed
with the above mentioned seed. Bugs
are so fond of radish plants, that they
will eat them in preference to the
young vines, and thus enable them to
get a good start* and out of danger
