Tbe intellectoal superiority of civilized man over his ssvige brethren is due to the greater multiplicity ef his objects of thought, and precisely so is it with the intellectual superiority of tbe savage man ever his Simian an ceslors. The action* of ail have the same aim, viz : the supplying of the wants of phynicnl nature and the gratifying of the desires aronted in the mind. Thn old theory that speech was altogether limited lo tbe kaman race has now to be given np once nd for all, for sacb a statement cannot stand against tbe scientific eTi dence brought forward t* oppose it from nil quarters. Language is but a product of i-eflection and experience, and orig isatad, in nil probability, ia inter jectioa or tbe inntinctive expree nionn derived fr*m external an tare; and jnnt an tba reflective powers ef the race were develop ed and shown brilliantly na each stage in the evolutionary march of iotellcct was passed, so did language pace from tbe simple monosyllabic cries nf the lower animal* nod savage men to tbe complex dislectn nf modern civili zation; and it in worthy of note that at tha prannnt day. or at least very recently, them warn races of snvsgs men inhabiting the earth who possessed no proper language at all. and could not, on account of tbeir manner of living, be placed on a higher intellectual level than the higher apes; while we have the authority of tbe leading philo logists nf the day in support of tho fact that tbe monosyllabic cries of some nf tbe lower huinsu tribes are well within tbe grasp of tbe npe’e voice. Traveler* whose veracity and ability cannot be impugned have described long conferences held by monkeys, wkere one individual addressed tbe assembly at great length, fixiag.the attention of all upsn bimself and quelling every disturbance by a loud and harsh cry, wbicb was at nnce recognized and obeyed bv the multitude; and we need no traveler to point to u* tbe many, notes of call and recog nition possessed by birds of all kinds, who thoroughly well un derstand each other's expression*, and, moreover, are able to produce quite a string of different notes consecutively, and without any hesitation. In fact, ths nrgan of voice- in some of the lower eaimals far exceeds in power that of some tribes of tbe human family. Tbe Enpbosia musics of tbe East Indies can perform the seven notes in the scale; tbe chaffinch not only sings resl songs, but in- vtnta them, one of his songs con tainiog an many as fivs long strophes, while the songs of msoy uvigr mens of meo never run to half tbat length, and when Conk visited tbe Fiji archipelago tbe native women could only sing from la to mi. Asia appears lo b»ve been the birthplace of string ed inatrumenta. no Southern tribes ever having been discovered using sack metical appliances.

M de Lesaeps is abont to visit the Isthmus again. Tbe astonish ing activity of this maa of fi] is s never ending theme for those who observe the career of tbe “grand Fteaciiiama," as Gambetta called him. Whatavar we Americans may think Of the Pannrnn Canal, we must admit tbat the promoter of the scheme is one of ike most remarkable men of the age, and one of the most sympathetic With Lamartine and Victor Hugo he ta the most universally popular Frenchman ef this centnry. M. de Leaeeps gets bis wonder ful activity from the pateraal aid*, hi* father having been on* of thooe sprightly Maraeillsitc who never keep alii! a long while at a time. His mother was a Catalo niaa, and oa her aide be inherits bis deliberative qualities. Most persons who have a general idea of M. de Lessepe’ career think be it an engineer, sad ignore that be I vegan life aa a diplomatist. To be sure beqnitled the diplomatic service in 1849, sa the present generation may be excused for not remembering that before digging i-snsia be was a promoter of pence oa land. M. de Lesseps’ lather was also a diplomatist, and at the beginning of tb* century visited America for lb* purpose of aego listing a commercial treaty be tween Fran.-e sad our country. To sec Ibis distinguished look mg and alert gentleman on Ike boulevard, or gallopiug along on horseback, accompanied by seven or eight of hti children, no one would ever suppose tbat he was in his 83d year, and that he bad bad eleven children by his second wife, whom he married oa tbe day the 8uA caps! was inaugurated. A few weeks ago some of ihenum erous enemies of tba Panama scheme started the report of M. de Lessepa' death. T* a friend who called at the house to learn the truth of this rumor the eele brated Frenchman replied: “Some good souls have said that I was dead; yoa nee I am still alive. Others have pretended tbat my leg ia broken. If those who start ed tbia story will cams and see me 1 will prove ta them by a well- known movement tkat my leg is in very good condition.” M. de Leserps live* ia the Ave nue Montaigne in * spacious hotel that be bought three years ago from tbe Princess de Beanveau.

Toon* man, when yoa put on ynnr derby hat to go to church, or perhaps to go to a picnic, does it ever occur to yoo that a poor lit tle bunny has died and been dyed that your bat might live? I don’t believe it does. I doubt if you ever knew that your hat was made nf hare’s fur. I did not know it until tbe other day. Of coarse, if you sre a progres sive snrt of a vouag American, vou believe ia evolution of some kind; but btre is a chapter wbicb I think will give you new food for thought. First ia the hare—poor little fellow—he i* just on the point of eating his dinner, it may be; but does he get it? Suppose you were asked wbelh er yoa would be made into a bat before dinner or after, which would yoa choose? But he does not know ia his sweet innocence. Well, let bimeat bis dinner snd enjoy it. Then he it killed. Just bow. does not matter. We won’t inves tigate the slaughterous part of it; enough that he is killed, and bis skin cut np into strips about one eighth of an inch wide. These strips go through a process some thihg similar t* being drawn through a knot-hole. This takes tbe fur off. Then comes a queer kind of a machine, by wbicb a strong current of air is made to blow against a wet revolving cop per cone lo which it slicks, mat ting together, as is tbe nature of tbe fur to do, until it assumes a shape over the cone, like a short, stumpy, very old_ fashioned um brells, without any stick; then by plangiag into very hot water and working with the hands as a potter works bis clay, this shape is thick ened and shrunk until it gets to a consistency in wbicb it is held to gether, and might look on a man’s head something like a respectable cabbage leaf. I believe bunny ia fond of cabbage. You know the old saying, “A man is wbat be eats.” aad this seems to be a casr in wbicb bunny almost becomes a cabbage leaf himself.
