Tjc so were the neolithic or latter stone ago inch, who have bten iri or. tiffed, wifli great. probability, oft a branch of tbe samo imilated Bat-quo or Hujst-rarian race which now'fives among the; valleys of the Western Pyrennes and the Astuyias Mountains. Our knowledge of them Is mainly derived from their tom 1 . or barrows—great lieaps of earth which they piled.rip above the bodies of t'lmr dead chieftains. From these haye been taken their skeletons, their weup niiß, their domestic utensils and their ornaments. In stature, tbe neolithic men were sboyt and thick-set, not often exceeding Ove feet four inches. In complexion, they were probably white, Iml swarthy, like tbe dark - t Italians and Spaniards,' oy * vou the Moors. Their skulls wero yery long and narrow; and they form the bestTlistinguismg mark of tbe race; as well as the best ti st of its survival at the present day. The neojitlis wero un acquainted with the use of metal, but they employed weapons and implements of stone, not rudely chipped, like those of flic older stono age, but carefully grofuud rind prilislicd. They made pot •tery, too, and wove cloth; they domes ticated pigs and otfte i und they culti vated coarse,cer. als iu the little plots which they cleared out of the forest with their stone hatchets or tomahawks. In general culture, they were about at the same level as the more advanced Polynesian tribes, when they first came into contact, with European civilization, Tho : burrows which they raised over tbe in dead chieftains were long and lather uarfroiv, not round, like those of the later Celtio conquerors. They ap pear! to have lived for tbo most part in little stockaded villages, each occupying a small clearing iu the river yailqys, and ruled over by a single chief; and the harrows usually cap the summit of the 1 boundary hills which overtook tho little dales, lnairie them are iong-chamborod galleries of large, rough-hewn stones: mid when these primitive erections niri laid bare by the decay or rergovnl of, the barrow, they form tfio so-calleil ‘ ‘ Druiil ionl monuments” o£ Old-fashioned nuti ! qaames,. a few <ri vfliich ftre Celtic, but I tho greater part Eustrariric.

Hfer Victims were her masters and unstressed/ her fallow servants, her friends, aud several nuns, for whom iu their last moments she displayed the utmost tenderness and care. The plea of monotnania was set up in her defense, but no'evidence was brought forward by her counsel, save the apparent waut of motive for her crimes. It was shown however, that she bad begun her career of crime when'only'seventeen ybahs old, b / attempting to poison her confessor ; that she had, while perpetrating her wholesale murders, affected the greatest piety, and was fora time an inmate of n e nveut; tbit she had eoamitted 'over thirty tin fts; that she bad maliciously cut and burned various articles of cloth ing placed iu her charge ; that when a-koil why she stole things tiiat were of po me to her, she had replied, “I always ft ,) when I am angry;” that she was stibjvet to alternate periods of great mental depression, and excessive and unreasonable gaiety; that she was af f. et. and with pains in theheadnvid vertigo ; tiiat when she was angry she vomited blood; and that, while riff .prison await ing trial, she was ccmstantly laughing and joking about indifferent subjects. , Sim was found guilty, and on being asked if she bad anything to say why se.'itijuce of death should not be passed, made an answer so ninek like one given inoro recently by, another criminal tlijt I give it hero : '“Wp, your Honor; I am inn* c "lit, I am resigned to nil that may bajqicii.

IViiat Shall Girls Do I An esteemed young reader of the 1 Ti\nc', sends some reflections concerning the i riucation of girls which are in some reapeots worthy of attention. Anything cone j uing girls is ’always interesting— partii-iiriivvly to young men. Our esteem ed. young correspondent doesn’t seem to be satirtied With tbo way in which girls aro brought up. Being a marriageable young, tuiau he lias looked over fiis acquaintances to find one whom he knows to be a practical housekeeper, but thus frit*, lie'says, he has looked iu vriin. Ha knows a great many who can play the piano and assume to speak sev eral languages, but not one who can riuiEo a loaf of bread or broil a beefsteak properly. It is probable that this young man ! tell) tbe eiiuct truth. It requires much, more skill and intelligence to mako a loaf of bread and properly broil a beef steak than is generally nndertood. .Either is a very difiifiult undertaking, iTough many girls who do cooking 'art'er a fashion regard, it as a matter of uo account, except that the work may imps tv. antiy affect the complexion. Hitch girls do not know when a steak is propci'iy cooked; it is doubtful if they would know when much of anything is properly done. PerTiiips they can make themselves agreeable in the parlor, and t hat is a very nice thing, but a wife needs,some other qualifications. Tb rc are girls, however, and a great many of them, who know how to make breeland broil beefsteak and do in* thoroughly skillful way the thousand tilings required of the pefect housewife. Our young reader should try aud'extend his ;> edit auifarice to include some of tfics >. There fire not *9 many of them us there should be, but that is not so much too fault of tho girls as it is of those who have ha t the responsibility of their edueatidri. The scarcity of those accomplished in the science of liouse ktn ping makes them all tho more valu able, but there is abundant room for tho spread of that kind of education. Ew ry mau isn’t seeking a skilled housekeeper for a wife, however, aud many, young women cultivate a taste for idleness anil ease with a view to living up to a husband's wealth. Thei'e is more disappointment than happiness in this. Every woman who undertakes tho duties of home should know how to direct those who do lier work, if she do none of the work herself. We agree with much that our young correspondent says —Philadelphia Times. The Palm Tree. There aro districts of Tinnevelly, in Stmt-hem India, w here tho soil is so dry and . andy that it is surprising anything will grow. Yet where this powdery red sand prevails for miles wo have walked through pflautatious of tlie stately Palmyra palm, the great stems rising to ail immense height, and tho trees in the most vigorous health. Here, as else where, the sap flows most freely at tho hotted timo of tho year, aud when the soil is without vegetation aud almost without Substance, when the only shade is that cast bv these branchless trees from te eir narrow crowns of loaves, when the oylv clouds are clouds of dust, “when the streams are dry aud the wells are ex bnusted, and the largest rivers are * 'Uiy beds of glowing sand,’’ there is tho i igular spectacle of these stately trees flowing continually with their fountains of sweet water. How is it possible? wo often asked. Bishop Caldwell, whose bouse lies close to such a desert, tried to answer that question f**r himself. He dug into the ground to observe tho course of the roots, but as deep as ho dug “ the thread-like roots of tbe pialm Iwrowrid deeper,” until at last, “when forty feet t*elow the surface be cone upon water ;” and here the roots, linuk ing in tbe rc-freshiug moisture, pene trated even further among gravel aud ■*t .lies, and he could follotv them no more. The riddle was solved; and any ono may feci what anew beauty it gives to the comparison hero. The roots of the Christian life sink down into the living *w*ters. They are fed from the peren inl ionnterns of the Spirit far out of fight, Aud tire service and fresluiens of Amt life, and all tho influences that flow u*)in it. do not depend on what we see. for tlie soil w here such a life grows is often spiritually barren, bub they depend upon the roots striking down among the Jiving waters. —Good Hard*.

Thespians with enough money on hand to pay for a drink sometimes drop into tlie magnificent bar-room fitted up by Ed. Stokes, of Jim Fisk antecedents. It ishv long odds the most elaborate place 'of its kind in New York, and it may be doubted if there is another equal to it in tlio world. Tlio room is about fifty feet square, with tins bar in the a Iddle. This arrangements give tho bar two sides instead <f one. The floor is covered with carpeting fit for tbo best drawing-room on Fifth avenue, rich but not bright in color aud so thick that no footfall can be heard. All tbe woodwork—bar chairs, 'tables, etc.—ls solid mahogany, richly carved and giving a certain tone that no other kind of wood imparts. 'W J iien lighted up by magnificent crystal chandeliers tbe effect is superb. Heavy draperies and enormous tropical plants add to the richness of the whole.

The deacon looked solemn and frowningly, but reluctantly got a loaf of bread and began to cut it; but while doing so took occasion to nd monkii tho beggar concerning the error of liis ways. After reminding him that it was the holy Sabbath which he was desecrating, ho asked him if he knew how to pray. “ No,” w*s the reply. “Then,” said the deacon, “I’ll learn you,” and he commenced to repeat the Lord's prayer. But just as he uttered the first words, “ Our Father,” the beggar interrupted him with the question, “What, is He your Father and mine, too?” “ Yes,” the deacon replied. “Why,” exclaimed the boggar, “we are brothers, then, ain’t we?
