The Antiquity of Man. The Rev. S. C. Chandler, of Hartford, is discussing some above very subject. interesting lec¬ tures on the We give some extracts: “There was a time when this non-in¬ tellectual race existed in Europe; and Europe has now become the great in¬ tellectual centre of the world. So you continue right along further east into Asia Minor, India and Arabia; anc ] tilt re you will find a long history ot intellectual men and women that give evidence of high culture and civiliza tioi as far back as we can trace their history. Then go still further into India, and there you will meet with another centre of civilization and tel'ertual and and moral development. Go sti 1 lurtber, you meet another, “Now, here are these great centres of civ :t Lion, where they have a long his text of kingSftijd empires rising and falfii But the intellectual current flown on—it lias never been extinct; wLil in the vety midst oh these zaiions, the lowest classes—the more primitive class of mankind—has mairud. So we have it repeated in this country as in India, China and western Asia. While we have a civile zatic-u here and pride ourselves on oui intellectual and moral strength, yet we havt had during our whole career this under stratum ot human beings ; t,lie.-e non-intellectual races have lived here beyond the point ol history. The pre historic races have occupied tbis countiy—have hunted and fished, and roamed the country ages unknown, and have never been civilized. They are to-d \y as savage and wild as ever ; and they are wasting away." Now l; . e hi e facts we must take in 10 consideration; and I want every Christian to look at t his. If the Adam ic latuily gave birth to these savage people that spent their lives hunting, flslung, and living like the ............. li a also originated earth all the intellectual islands races over »ill the and the ot the sea what immense antiquity does this involve! It is an antiquity sufficient to destroy every sentence in the Bible in regard to the genealogy ot that la v in!y. li is not possible for the time spec died by the chronology oil he Bihli or by L,-her, the Jewish chio no!op’ist, to cover such an antiquity. It. is an error, and the sooner we cet rid oi it, the better. Let us look at the truth as God has made it. 1 her aieslong the path of: history, epochs, and monuments, and traces ot the his teiy ot man, so that, we cannot be taken in regard to the antiquity ol man, though we cannot measure it by montlis and years. ihe White race originated ..... in Minor and m not lien: Arabia. It impossible to tell which lace is the o.o est, but as far as we have any traces believe the Arabs under the old Cush* itea are 'as old as any.

It is the power of progress of the age in all ideas, government science and reli¬ gion .—Hartford Times. Sad Attempt at Suicide. Another Heart Bowed Down With Woe. The good newspaper man is always on the alert fora sensation, but Macon, it seems—we are pained to chronicle—is furnishing us with items of this charac¬ ter which we regret to record. The taking of one’s own life is, indeed, a serious matter ; and of late years sui¬ cides are growing alarmingly on the increase. Home decided and effectual measures must be adopted tc put a quietus We to such folly. South people inclined of the have not hitherto been much that way ; it has been left fer other sections ot our large country to furnish to the world, m this way, evidences of mental failing. It certainly cannot be the result of our system of education and moral training of the young. It is, j however, a noticeable fact that crime, j J calamities tires, plagues, or whatever other dire that Yiait us in rapid sue— j cession, comes spontaneous and in quarters from whence least expected, shoots himself. Thus it is with the case of Mr. j Roland Lyon, a son of Judge Richard i F. Lyon, who shot himself with a pistol j in bis his city, room, at bis just father's before residence in j |i last night 8 o’clock/ Mr. Lyon is a young man about ; f wenty-two years of age, and one much respected, as also is his noble father, who is one of the best lawyers in Georgia. HOW IT HAPPENED. It seems that young Mr. Lyon has been very despondent tor several days past, and, indeed, beguiled himself into indulging too freely in t*he leli destroy¬ er of man. A lew days before he was tound upon the streets the victim ot the fluid, and yielded only to very earnest solicitations. Last night he went home in a deplorable state, and liter speaking to Ins father—his mother being absent in Leesburg visiting her daughter — he went, into his own room, arid immediately thereafter his father j , j was staitied by the j REPORT OF A PISTOL.

Lyon was shot through the It t bieast, the ball entering just »bove the left nipple and lodging ,n the back near the shoulder blade. Die. a lived and ,^n^Th took the ^woun wounded l /n?Thi man in ‘ :b «rge. Ihe ball was cut from bis back and the wounds dressed. today Mr. Lyon is suffering very much. A reaction has not yet set in, and some ; e a,s are entertained for him when it ,] oe8 . Last night he spit blood, but j ibis morning vomited twice jemitting blood. If he recovers it will \ certainly be on account of good medical treatment. Leesburg Judge Lyon went down to : this morning after Mrs. Lyon, that he himself might impart to j her the sad news, and will return with ; her this afternoon. Meantime a kind I neighbor lady is taking care of the j wounded young man, who was visited his physicians this morning, after having been with him all last night, Macon Ledger. | i The ■ * -------- Kentucky Giant's Baby—A few weeks ago the wife of Capt.

Hartford, February 20.—The ex¬ press train from Boston due here at I o’clock to-day was thrown off the track at Vernon. There were four extia coaches, containing the Kellogg opera troupe and an extra baggage car, mak an unusually long tram, which was running about twenty-five miles an hour. No one w T as seriouslv injured except the engineer, Charles Gales. Washington, February 20. —The Senate lor twelve continues hours has been office discussing the amend ments to the pos appropriation b,l providing tor the Brazil mail service, to run from New York ODce a month by the way of Norfolk, and once a month from New Oi lcans by the way of Galveston. Philadelphia, February 20.— A special from Pittsburg says that great excitement prevails at Brownsville, Fayette county. Sheriff Work, 0 Vi ashington county, with two hundred and thirty armed and mounted ties, has gone into Fayette arrest the miners charged with parti cipating in the riot at California, arrested' Penn a few days ago. He has three miners. His authority to arrests outside of his own county, es pecially without a warrant, is disputed. Many of the miners are armed, and a conflict is feared. Calcutta February 20 _ A report from Mandalay asserts that the King of Burmah has murdered all the Princes and their families, removed the new Ministers and replaced them by M nistera who were formerly in office, this restoring the former 1 government. London, February 20.—The limes, in an editorial article, says : “Neither England nor France would be disposed to witness with indifference the suc¬ cess of a covp d’ etat which 'would place Egypt again under the personal rule of the Khedive.” Two Years on Horseback. —Mr. Henry Tudor started from New York Wednesday night with the avowed in tention of riding on horseback all the way from that city to Patna Arenas, the most southerly point of Patagonia, South Atnena. He takes with him as attendant a young man who will no doubt help him to pass the time as pleasantly as possible, he being an ac complished song and dance genius. Mr. Tudor u ilipressed w ith the i,lea that j bj goint , tbrougb , he 8evera l republics 1 0 j- £j entra i an q South America, and ascer taimng what articles of American . manufacture can be introduced with : profit,a.

Mr. Tudor wil1 pass tbrou 8 h Philadelphia, from ; that city to Washington via Baltimore, tQ Ricluu0nt ] ; thence to Mobile, to Brownsville, San Luis Potosi, City Mexico. Here they will deliberate as to the next move, and will be guided altogether by the state of the roads, Anyhow, an effort will be made to reach Guatemala by traveling along the Pacific coast as near as possible. It is | expected will the journey to Punta Arenas occupy two years. “ —---- Bible Lecture — Professor lectured on the Bible—“Can we make it the rule of our life and conduct?” ! He took the affirmative of this, saying that there are veins of gold running j appropriate ali through the Bible which and we make should to our use, not a stumbling block of the part that cannot be interpreted literallv. Thus the ac count of the fiery turnace and the three Hebrew children cannot be taken ally. Much that is in the Bible should be' tak**n in its spiritual or symbolic sense. They taught largely "the parables in those days No doubt account 1 of she fires the Hebrew children went th ough was given as a symbol ot the fires of} ersecution. If a' man stands ; firm to his honest convictions and to U ’o ihe truth, he will edme out uninjured by such fires. He spoke of the dan ’er of driving the Bible out entirely and 0 f making iufidels by the too literal in lei pret.ition ‘ many Christians put upon it. It is time we took the true cold o’’ | the Bib », and belittled it no longer in the iasl of old orthodoxy. ° on j N< A Japanese Haven, student at Yale College, w called on a vounc lady an i was invited to call ...n soon.

The following letters kindly, furnish¬ ed us, will be read with interest. The writer of the first was one of the gal¬ lant defenders of Savannah when it was captured by the British during the war of the revolution, and whose de¬ scendants now reside and hold honor¬ able positions among us, and the an¬ swer is from Gen. Washington, who had just been unanimously elected President of the United States for the first term. The letter of Dr. Sheftal was an ad dress from the Hebrew Congregation of Savannah of which Dr. Sheftal was President, congratulating Gen. Wash ; t0D on hiij eleotion t0 the Pres i de ncy.
