AN JLICE 151,11.1 DENT IN EUROPE. The Chicago Repcblican of . lait Sunday hai `interestingan letter „from:. rt returned student, giving much information • about the , schools of Europe mid estimate's - of the expense of living. We extract a considerable portion from tho epistle,' which is dated from South • - Pass, _ _ Sinee my •return from Paris, have been asked almost.daily by young artists, or their friends, for information 'in reference to art study in Europe. I shall here endeavor to answer all questions that a would-be student might•ask, in such manner that he can clip this article from the Reptiblic - ah and keep it by him to mid in guiding his first step in Parisian art :study. Question first is always: "Will it pay to go to Europe to study painting?' Most certainlyit :will:: No matter what branch of art the stu dent chooseS to follow—figures, portraits or landscape—let him g 0 to Eureope immediately; ,Mot_ivt4 to study a while here, and go there to finish; ler, iii '' Ur imperfect art schools, bad habits are contracted and prejudices formed which are very troublesome to • overcome, and which stand directly in the way of all progress in the right direction. During the past year, I hate been Continually meeting American stu dents who had come to 'Paris covered with laurels won ' the Academies of Design in Philad4hia and NeW York, but:found them selves obliged to renounce theirprevious learn ing, erior,.and begirt anew, with other prin ; eiples to guide thein than those on which' they bad been taught to rely. By all means, then, let the student go' to Europe at once and be ' • ",To what school?" The schools of Eng d and Scotland are worthless, and are cer tain Min to - whoever studies in them and acts . according to their teaching. The German schools, though a shade better, are still very bad, and have already spoiled a good many promising -young Americans who were deluded 'enough to go there to learn to paint. Your correspondent went to Europe with the Men tion'Of studying in Munich, but a glance , at the, works of that school, as compared with • Jhose of other schools in the Great Exposition, effectually cured him of that notion.. The schools cif Italy are unimportant for painters, , except that maintained by the French GoVern ment for the pensioners of the Ecole des Beaux Arts,,at Rome. here are, then, but two „places in Europe to which the beginner should look for instruction—Paris and Antwerp. ANTWERP. . - Or AldWerp 1 have less knowledge than of :Paris but I can confidently recommend it as a school of color. The student who goes there ought to be tolerably proficient and well based • in drawing from the antique and from nature beforehand, as the elementary teaching is some faulty. Living is extremely cheap; any one who can command $2O ner month in gold may go to Antwerp with the expectation of living well and pursuing his studies without having to exercise any pinching economy. The school is supported by the government, and is • free to all who wish to come. Scholars must pass an examination, and are classed according to proficiency. Paris is, on all accounts, the best school. Not inferiorto Antwerp in color, the teachings of the 'French school in drawing and composi tion raise it far above the level of all others. Let the student by all means go to Paris, if he has money enough. If he has not enough, then take Antwerp as the next best chance. One dollar iu gold per day will be enough for an enterprising, economical and sufficiently sharp Yankee student to live on and pursue his studies in Paris. I would not advise any one to try it with less. The student who has the above sum, and qualities, will do well to start at once for Paris, buying his ticket second-class by the Hamburg line (which is the best of the cheap lines, and not, partici t larly inferior to any line whatever.) Fare from New York to Paris will be something near $9O. currency: The first thing to be thought of on -arriving in Paris, is a hotel. I would recom mend to all who have not much money to spend to go to the Hotel du Lion D'Argeni, in the Pas sage du &mon, where good rooms on the up per stories can be had for one franc per day, including service, and as much lower-storied and high-priced as fancy may direct. Show the above address to a hackman; on arriving in Paris, and be will take you there for a flaw and - n half. — lirehoosing a dein -rssidence.-the student must be guided by his convenience and nearness to the schools. I would reeommend him to go at once to the "Latin Quarter" and find rooms, which he can at from twenty to thirty-five francs per month, say in the Rue Dauphine, Rue de Seine, Rue -de Lions or al- . most any place in the district lying between the Rue de Vaugirard and the river, for north and south boundaries, and the Boulevard St. .Michel and the Rue du Bac, east and/west. Having found a suitable room, the student can commence a search for a cheap-restaurant. If he wants a very cheap One, let hint try the following: CrCweric de Buel, in the Rue de Bud; Restau rant. de l'Aigle Noir, Rue Dau phine; Restaurant Peticau, Boulevard St. Michel; Restaurant de la' Tour M. Jacques, Rue de RiVOli. A little better and dearer fare will be found at the various Etat)! issentents tic _Bouillon ' Duval, which are scattered over the city. Dinners at the above restaurants will cost from sixteen to forty cents; breakfast a little lesS. TILE ATELIERS OF PARIS It is important to have letters of presentation to the American Minister, in order to be able to make application through him for admission to the Eco/e des Beaux Arts, which is the free art school of France, supported by the Gov ernment. Applicants are not received if more than twenty-live years old, and are very apt never to hear any reply to their application, but they may be so fortunate as to be receiVed after' six months or a' year's waiting. In the mean time, they can go to one of the private schools, where they will, for a small price, receive as good instruction as at tin school. The .Ateliers of either Yvon, Bonnat, Gleyre, Cogneit or Barrias, are good, . and it does not greatly matter which one is chosen, if one only confides in his teacher, and works with a will. I would, however, state my conviction that Yvon is the best teacher, ou the whole, for those who intend to seriously study figire painting; and that his scholars are admitted to draw at the evening c lass. of the Beale des Beaux Arts, of which he is. Professor, an advantao not enjoyed by others. Also, as he does not ask anything for his teaching, but simply requires the stu dents• to pay the running expenses of the school,. it is somewhat cheaper than the other ateliers. Fifteen francs per month is the cost of studying in this , school; sixteen francS at Gleyre's; twenty-five at Bonnat's; twenty-five at Bar rias's, &c. At Bonnat's atelier, students limy obtain a reduction of fifteen francs per month by paying for the whole year in advance. The simplest way to find one of, these schools is to go to a café and call for a directory; or, go to one of tile American banking houses (for in stance that of Jno. 'l.unroe el% Co., '7 Rue Scribe, or Norton's, just ,oppasite), and ask one of the clerks, who are kept there for the pur ,Roc, of giving information, Ace.. The address found, go in the morning, between 0 and' 12 o'clock. The manner of procedure is the same :An all the .schools: -In wiuter,,,- the: :•exereiSds commence at 8 o'clock and last until 12.30; •in the summer from 7to 11:30. The work to be done is drawing • and painting after living models, nude, except occasionally, for a change, .a draped Model is used. .The models are gen 41.'411y:selected by the vote of the Students from lsuch as present themselves, and assume any re- qUired position rind retain .it for an hour witft ouirest; ten Minutes' rest is thed allowed,after: which' follows another hour's pose:i !The same model isintaineff four hiMrs every :day for a week, Whiehgives,time* make - 'tolerably, well-finished, starry w . Various Pl4tli s s(ei"efietiiiiNkcinipositiois are adopted; . the most usual being that of giving out a subject which all the scholars must rep- _resent by some soirt of sketch, to be submitted to the teacher for criticism and comparison. In addition to these exercises there is the course of lectures on anatomy as related . to art, which everybody is free to attend at the Ecole des licaux Arts. Also,lectures on costume and various other subjects related to art. The school will occupy the artists' mornings, and the afternoons can be - employed in private study of composition, anatomy, perspective and the hearing of such lectures as it may be importanttO attend. FIGURE PAINTING; What 1 have said in regard to study applies,. one might, think, only to figure painters, but the French make no difference in course for landsclipe painters. The study of the figure gives a correctness of (Yawing, and trains the eye to a delicacy of perception of . eolor that could never be attained by the study of rocks and - trees alone The pugilist trains him self for the combat by rowing, walking, lifting and like exercises; just, so the , painter, who would acquire strength to wrestle with the beauties of nature, must gain it by the severe exercise of study of the. figure.: Let the landscape painter, then, study the figure as con scientipusly Ps'his brother, the figure painter; and When lie snakes his sketehhig tone to . the Alps or the Pyrennees, he will find himself much stronger than if he had consumed his winter in the studio of some landscape artist, copying hiS teacher's pictures, like a girl taking "paintin' lessens in a Down East boarding sehool.

Arrest of Americans in. Paris The New York Times correspondent says: Of course, anon; the crowds of idle and curi ous spectators who were nightly attracted to the scenes of these disturbances were numbers of our countrymen. Several of them paid the penalty of their indiscretion by being knocked down and trampled upon; While others . were arrested and conveyed to prison: Of these latter, the American Minister has been called upon to intercede for, and has obtained the re lease of three. Their names , are J. Q. A. Warren, of Boston, George Green and Morris Brown. I have seen Mr. Warren since his release, and his experiences of magisterial promptness and prison amenities in France are sufficiently interesting to justify me in relating them, the More especially as they may serve to convert those who are sighing to confer upon the United States-the blessings of Imperialism. EX PEI tl EN CE OF AMEI CANS. Mr. Warren states that he was proceeding along the Boulevard Montmartre on Thursday evening, the 10th, in company with another American, Mr. Charles R. Goodwin; he saw the police chasing the crowd and they turned into a side street, the Rue Richelieu, to get out of the way. They had not got far When they heard the beat of a.drum., This was followed by a rush of police agents, and before they had time to remonstrate or to state who' they were, they were both struck several times and Mr, Warren was knocked down. Mr. Goodwin owed his exemption , from further ill-usage and imprisonment to the fact of his wearing the ribbon of the Legion of but Mr. Warren, as he was trying to rise to his feet,was seized and dragged to the Mairie in the nue Drouot. When he arrived there lie found the large court-yard full of prisoners and policemen. After a delay of about half an hour he was taken to the In spectoes-room-and-searched. Au: his papers and money were taken frOm him. lie had at the time two hundred francs in paper and about one hundred alai eighty francs in gold. Alter his name, address • and .s•ifrattienant had been taken down, his papers, and, as he supposed, his money, were replaced in his pockets, but lie discovered subsequently that his funds had not been restored. A further examination was madeof his person for weapons, after which he was trans ferred to another room, which was crow dedivith prisoners of almost every station in life. After remaining there half an hour the prisoners were formed into a body munbering about seven hundred, and marched, guarded by soldiers and policemen, to the conciergerie at the other side of the river. This was about 1 o'clock at night. During the march the ut mist brutality was exercised toward the prisoners, mid they were driven and pushed along like a herd of cattle. Mr. Warren was so badly bruised and hint that be had to be supported by two of the prisoners. his shirt and clotheg were covered with blood from the effect cif blows which had been wantonly in flicted upon him in the yard of the Mairie by one of the sergents de ville. After they reached the conciergerie, about three in the morning, he fainted away and was conveyed for the night to a separate cell,where he was attended by the surgeon of the prison,' who administered chloroform and stimulants to him. lie re mained in the coveiergerie with the other' pris oners until 7 o'clock on Friday evening, and they had nothing during all this time but a little soup of the, weakest kind and some hard bread. As evening approached they were in formed that they were about to be transferred. to the fort at Bicetre, on learning, which Mr. Warren managed to get a scrap of paper and wrote a letter to Dr. Johnston, of the Boule vard ilaussmann, informing him of his posi tion.. The doctor immediately forwarded it to Mr. Washlirne, and at 12.30 the same night Mr. Moore, Assistant Secretary to the Lega tion, went to the Prefecture and demanded release. Ile was told that it was then too late to do anything in the matter, but that it would be attended to early in,the morning. Shortly after he, had despatched this note to Dr. Johnston,: Mr. Warren, with. the other prisonees, were transferred in the close prison carriages to the 'fort of Bicetre. They were kept standha in-one of the osculates there, suffering from the heat and thirst consequent upon overcrowding, until nearly midnight. The roll was then Called, and the prisoners were marehed, eight at a time, accompanied by a file of : soldiers, to the Inspector's room, in another building, - where their names, ad, dresses and personal desiiriptions were entered in a book.. This done, they were conveyed to a second casemate, and in proceedingto it each prisoner stopped by order and picked up bundle Of straw which, With a blanket; was o constitute his lied. There they were left in quietness for the rest of the night, but without Mod. Or drink.._. The, heat and,bdor of the _place. were inSuflerable and. were aggravated by the .fact that allithe'netes4deS :of nature had to be proVidedoeM. that ,crowded apartment.

Vindictive persons; says: Bacon, live the life of witches, who, as they are mischieveds, so end they unfortunate. And we see thil it is so*.There is the feeling . that/ill-wishes recoil, that our,dwn good things, are, imperilled if we seriously set about dimiuishing our neighbor's stock; hence people are amiable in propprtion to the interest they have iu things remaining smooth and comfortable. Malice does not pay to common people; it is only magriificos and such great folks who find it the one hsting pleasure of life: : But society finds a substitute for malke—a doniestic, creditable, neighborly form of the great vice—in spite. We scruple to call any body malicious except in history or the news papers, but with spite we , -are on more familiar terms. We see traces of it on the faces of some of our acquaintances; in the speech of others, in the actions of sonic fey; nay, Wernay even detect seine grains (when sorely tried) in ourselves, if we are , curious in our investiga tions. Spite does not care to ruin anybody; only it is apt to reverse the . apostolic precept, and most especially makes no hand at rejoicing with those that rejoice. It draws untlattered portraits; it picks holes; it finds self-compensa tion in the miSfOrtune of others. For here, again, it does not do to define spite as mere ill-wishing, even in its most trifling and re stricted form, maids Action comes in. Nri-row sympathies are.perpetually immersed in barren content with what-interferes with one's own conveniencediscontent which issues in ?osi tive gratification where another's pain Wings relief to self. There are many worthy pevie. devoted to those nearest to them, helpful to their immediate surroundings, who will take cheerfully as a gift of Providence the news of a distant acquaintance's broken limb or Wien fortunes, if theSe disasterS save them fron an unwelcome guest or from the derangement of summer plans. In fact, most persons are made so. It is a sign of peculiar sweetness and nobleness of nature when it is otherwise. Yet we deny that these defective sympathies are spiteful, because their satisfaction arises solely from one's own relief, and not from another's pain; such people would be even better pleased if another's aood fortune,rather than his ill luck, had delivered them from a quandary. There are people distinct from these, Who do like mischief for jts own sake—people who are companionable, witb o have their geed moral points,--but who, as we ften observed, seem to be not only indifferent to the evil which oc curs t(i others, but actually pleased to find themsblves the cause of transient human sal tering. They, like - to abash sensitiveness, and exercise ingenuity to bring this about; when the humor is hi . them; they say things - for the mere pleasure of giving pain, probing a womid, and curiously watching the deportment of the sufferer. There are many more who-entertain a sort of general spite against humanity, and enjoy its smalleh humiliations, losses, and vexa tions; who see something ludicrous in every thing that alarms, disconcerts, and exposes, as though wit lay in the fact of one per son, being vexed while another looks on; to whom your being too late for the train, or breaking yotir horse's knees, or being put out of comitenance L are exhilarating circumstances, although they are in no way benefited by your discomfituue; who from their own snug shelter will enjoy the spectacle of a wet, dripping holi day, when weeks of eager anticipation issue in the damp wretchedness of plodding thousands. This pleasure in witnessing disappointment is especially the diversion of spoiled and pant tiered youth, which has not yet realized the possibility d its own turn may come, and looks upon all misfortune, great and small, in the light of a spectacle in which it has no other concern than as spectator. Time bringing coward fears, if nothinrr b better, does touch of itself to cure this heedless and hardhearted malice. The smooth brow and rounded contour which told nothing of what passed within -be come vehicles of softer expression from the mere encounter with inevitable sorrow; the countenanee which before was merely impas sive catches the gift of pity, though self may still have the greatest share of it. But if other wise, if the malice is anything more than thoughtlessness, then spite imprints a mark on the features which says more plainly than any other vice, Beware! For spite, even where it wishes no great ill and is kept in check by con science, even where it consists in the mere soupcon of malevolence, is absorbing. .It broods, and thus the features are moulded into a sympathy with the inner mind Which no tem porary transient misdoing imparts to them. It prompts thought to dwell most on what it hates or dislikes most; it dominates over reverie. . happily, however, these are not common physiognomies. That particular malevolent - tarof — esre - aud - twist --- Df --- lip — are -distinctive marks as rare as, on the other hand, are natures that are wholly foreign to seine touch of the in firmity. Some few persons we may all know so' free - from this gall Of bitterness as not only never to our knowledge to have said an ill natured thing or betrayed a spiteful bias, but of whom we are confident that such a thing never happens either iusport or.. under _provocation; - who never teased even in boyhood; for teasing is the domestic form of the vice which should touch the-consciences of the majority. Teasing is undoubtedly a Malicious practice - where it inflicts annoyance designedly,theugh it may not be recognized as such because it constantly goes with liking,and is agreeitb:e to the teaser in pro portion of his interest in or attachment to his object. 4 f?et son will tease his mother; a brother will tease his idolizing sisters, with thd intention of vexing them, and will . not stop till he has succeeded; yet all the while the entire party live in habitual ignorance of the motive at-Work; in _a Satisfted.under,standing tbat.this is a sign of affectiOn, and that the pain of the proces is undesigned or' 'inevitable; just as it was generally taken for granted that Tom Tul liver was fond of -animals because he liked to throw stones at. them. In some aspeets of family life the illusion -can. scarcely be. more . than one-sided; but there can be no doubt that the bullying elderbrotbeiWlib iristorin' his 'junior, - finding the process , more amusing with, blm. 'than' :als . tranger, poses'in himself aAinterrial fondness. Social ns opposed to domestic- teasing tan hardly;' be wholly unconscious, but=,' it 'is assumed ; to '"be legitimatea neeessary,stiMulant to the -inter-t course of friends, or a means or turning humor to account. - Thus Swift reports com placently to Stella hoW he had teased Prior the .evening-before because he himself .was not in force : "1 dined with Mr. 'Harley, and came away at six. There .was much company, and I was not merry at all. Mr. Harley made me read a paper of verses of Prior'a. I read them : plain, without any : fine manner., Prior swore should never read' any of his again, that he would -be revenged, and • read - some ,of mine , as : bad.. :I excused my self and said I was famous fOr reading verses the worst in the world." 9f course this . would be as goOd as a. play -to the bystanders,. especially, as there are, two courser- open to the vicfirn of spite—the natural and the dignified; and curiosity is awakened. Prior may. have done .wisely to defend his verses at the expense of his temper; but he not dip less followed na ture's impulse and made the desired sport. When Lord Chesterfield warns .his son against, wit, the spitefulness which was then its social, garb was probably in his mind. "A wit," he :says, "is a very unpopular denomination, as it carries terror aking with it, and people in gen eral are as much afraid ,of, a live wit iu com pany, as a woman is of a pin that she thinks. May go off of itself." • • All persims who for any reason preferred a • quiet life had in those days to use ninth the smop argument :.against the loud social aggres eions of. spite. Thus Barrow on the malignity of social seal quiet sectary doth to most men's fancy appear more lovely than he Chat is furiously and factiously orthodox." In fact, wit was not wit without a dash of spite. " Spiteful ho was not, though , lio wrote in satire, For still there goes some thinking to ill-nature; and we are led to suppose that not only in : books, but hice to face ' the science of provoca tion was carried to its highest pitch of spiteful- nesS, and that the teasing Was of that, rough order described as "unflinching frankness." And this is the most piquant form of joke still to a public-house audience, who like to hear an'unpopnlar member reminded that "there's things f9lks 'ud pay to be rid- on besides vermin'. j, We would fain hope • that such pleasantries itre confined in our day to..:boors, but fiction is at pains to assure us that Ctlte drawing-rooms of fashionable life still echo to similar utterances. Novels which profess to represent the manners of society amaze us constantly with the com placei*pictnres of vulgar spite. It was only, the other day that we met with a heroine who, feeling herself 'sat upon" by three elderly ladies at an evening party, chose to mistake one of them for a man; looking her in the face as she did so; to pity another for the chill of her low dress, as she must be seventy years of age; and to talk at the third with such malignant point that her victim was driven from the field, leaving her witty opponent victorious, and re ceiving the congratulations of an eager circle of observerS. It is a testimony to the self-control which' civilization confers that spite is not the uni versal salt of conversation which all literature reprents it to' be. The fact is that tone anti manner can convey the shades of ill-will much more delicately titan most pens. If we are not inzrinsically more andlblethan our forefathers, We have at icast found out 'this more - refined methed of annoyance. People used to be thick-ste-roted„ and could give and take in a way width would now be extelmination. thirzs may be so curiously concealed and wrapr up that it is only when too late that the vJint. is detected, and the retort which s.prirAts to the dawning intelligence dies in its birth. It is by such arts that the cynical mem ber of Polite circles knows how to keep his hold of intercourse with sensitive persons whom it amuses him to irritate. Courtesy, the show of pleasing, cannot be dispensed with in decent society, whatever novelists may say. Dr. Johnson must have mended his manners, nust have suppressed many a sneer and ugly spite ful snub, had he lived in these days; and of course he would have mended them. CITY ORDINANCES.

Mr. Henry Kingsley has just written a lively novel called "Stratton," which the • Haipeis reissue in one of their convenient paper octavos. It has plenty of originality, sometimes rather forced ; life and spirit in abundance, and occa sional bad grammar. Henry Kingsley com mands by moments a style as vigorous as that of his brother Charles, but is even less able to sustain himself than the author of Amon Locke. Henry shows best as an essayist; his was the best of all the elegaic notices on Thackeray which invaded the British press inunediately on the death of the satirist. Of "Stratton" the Saturday Review says with rather tumerassary severity : " Mr.-Henry- Kingsley had it in his mind to show us a little knot of high-spirited gentlemen like lads, fresh and innocent, while brave and manly ; but he has drawn only a silly set of riotous bumpkins,' irritating enough to have ex cused any one who had caned them all round. It is not so much the sense of life and vivacity that he has given us, as of noise, confusion and folly. The whole book indeed has this `one, character of confusion. The story is confused the style is jerky, allusive, and -difficult to fol low ; the characters are, phantasmagoric, and run into each other; and, though plentifally described, so far as words go, retrain to the last in a nebulous condition, hazy and indis tinct. :Nothing is made out, nothing drawn in clearly, or touched incisively. Per Sons, dates and circumstances flit at random about the pages; and we never know who may not turn up hundreds of miles away from where we saw him last, with no apparent reason that should have brought him over. The whole team' are united by such tremendous bonds of live and hate that there is no dividing them. For if one hates another, be loves the sister orthe brother ()Oils foe with so much warmth that tbr the sake of the common centre he agrees to sink all difler ences and to be as loving as the rest. And they all love in a demonstrative manner rarely seen 411.11(W„ Englishmen—a petting,caressing, womanly manner peculiarly 'Mr. Henry Kings ley's. And they all talk a mixture of blank verse and slang, the like of which no ordinary English gentleman is ever heard to talk under any circumstances whatsoever." We receive "StrettOn," and another novel, a story of fashionable society called "My Daughter Elinor," likewise published by Har pers, from Turner Bros. S. Co. Elise Polko, the well-known author, has re ceived a clattering testimonial for her late book about Mendelssolm-Bartholdy. The Grand Duchess Constantine of Russia, who has recently been staying hi Leipsic, after reading Miss Polko's work, was so pleased with& that she sent her a. valuable bracelet of great beauty. It is in the form- of--a golden book, on the upper cover of which is an artisti cally worked lyre, in pearls, with -a laurel branch, in emeralds, and on the lower side are the letters "E. P." in pearls. The broad links of the bracelet contain the letters constituting the name F. Mendelssolm. To EASTERN ARRICA.-Sir Samuel Ba her's expedition into Africa begins to look a little suspicious, even to English journalists. Ile will have under his command, according to the Army and Nary Gazette, three thousand three hundred men of all arms, his object being "the conquest of the Soodan"—for the Viceroy ostensibly, but with "a thought behind," as the French say, possibly of extending the pOWer and authority of England. Soodan is divided into many small states,-the principal of which .are Bambarra, Timbuctoo, Houssa, Bornoo, Berghtuni, Vaday and Adamawa. Sir Samuel Baker has visited these states,and written an exceedingly good book about them, in which he tellS us that the inroads.. of. the Turks and Egyptians on their border-line have pot been productive of any good results. Their only motive-has: been , to increase--their—power of taxation by enlarging the number of sub jects. Is Sir Samuel actuated by this motive, and are the subjects to be brought under the Iliower of taxation" of Great Britain? Men Coeval with Mammoths We have heard lately almost too much about the prehistoric man, and the supply Of flint fin plements perforated shells, and split marrow bones begins to exceed the dentand; but a re cent discovery hi the DePartMent de la Doi'- dog,ne .of human• skeletons coeval with, the mammoths and undeniably appertaining to the -earliest quaternary period presents features of such unusual interest that the French Govern ment have sent M. Lartet, the. distill .guished pi4ontolO,gist,to , make a-re Port on the subject. .He reports that the bones of five :skeletons ltaN'e been discovered, and that they belong to some gigantic race whose limbs, both in size and font must have resembled. those of the gorilla. lint the simian origin of man lutist not beinferred froba these analogies, as the skulls, of - which onlytliree are perfect, afford testimony thtal to this theory, having evidently contained very voluminous brains. The skulls are now in the hands of a commillee of sa vants, who are preparing an exhaust eranio7. logical report. . LITERARY. I Cope Cod Ca ptldthi...4thifting Sands, &c. There Were eight captains on board. ,Wlll3ll I esti them; Cape Cod captainS remember that that has a distinctive .significance. ).Noitere else in Aniorica do • men take to the .ivatersoJ naturally as on that scraggy intrusion on the sea which : we call Cape Cod. No better navi gators ever trod on shifting - sands, since Cap tain Gosnold 'came across seas in 1602, at Earl Henry's solicitation, and had a grand codfish catch—nroimdAlie—mightyTheadlandi---:-'The sands where Provincetown - now stands were doubtless those fist trodden by white men's feet on, the Massachusetts coast. Gosnold's exploring party went into raptures over thd beautiful bay, and probably many an old salt, .who bad sailed-down to the Mediterranean be fore America was settled, thought how much the beach extending from where provincetown now is to where Truro then was not, resembled ,the sweep of wide white sand around to Castellamare in Naples Bay. Earl Henry, Gosnold's patron, was Shakespeare's. also, and .perhapS the divine bard got his idea` - of lug sands" from some strange stories . which the "sunswart mariners" told in their presence after their return. RIB hardly worth while to believe that Shakespeare could know by intuition that bills in some localities totally disappear, only to arise thereafter at a little di.s• tance from their original base' Now they do so at Cape Cod, and -•GosnOld found it thus even then. And when he went back with his cargo of sassafras,: - to DartmOtith he told :strange tales, which rang in the ears of the Pilgrims when they were setting sail in the Mayflower: - So they cruised about until they found Provincetown harbor, and would per , haps have founded the first colony there if they had not plainly seen tliat the dance: of the sands Would forbid much agricUlture. So they only stopped long enOugh: to, let Mrs. White give birth to Peregrine- (Whim we all _know about), in the tranquillity of a port, and to wonder how the Indians could grow , corn yin the sand, before they went on to. the port which is now sacred to the memory of their landing. • . • : Whenever the schooner's captain gave any commands, if he was not at the helni,he suited the action to the word, and tugged at the ropes with the sailors. All the other captains' forgot that they, were passengers, :and automatically did the same. .That . is the-Cape Cod captain's special excellence: BiCinglit up on, the Water from earliest boyhood, they are always on the lookout. They are sailors as well as captains, and have no false dignity. -Navigation to them is as natural as swimming to a duck. Captain Godfrey. Ryder, an old man, tall and sinewy in fissile thoroughly intelligent and vigorous in mind, and for many years master-Joan of a Provincetown vessel, is a fair sample of a Cape Cod seaman. His brain is stored with the lore Of coast and sea, and with the philosophy of the unstable dimes. His an cestors were ProvincetOwn men, and he bears that wild love for the desolate-looking country which seems so inexplicable to a - stranger. Hills, he says, form, anywhere around Pro vincetown in twenty years, and disappear as rapidly. Highnole Hill, which is now merely an elevated plateau, is so called because fifty years ago a huge horn-like peak uplifted itself from the west end and was adorned with a lib erty pole. Gradually the peak Shrank away, as .did the dwarf who ate oysters in the cave of the Huggermuggers. During the revolution a ship called the Somerset mine ashore on the outside beach, near Proyineetown. Fifty years after, when old Capt. Ryder was walking with his father on the outside, they found theSom-, erset, but so rapid had been the new forma tions hi that half century, that she was then at least 100 feet inside. - A steamer, bound from Portland to Liver pool, a few years ago, was grounded on a shoal about 200 feet, from the Provincetown shore, and it was impossible to get her off, The owncrs, ignorant of the 'sand's idiosyncrasies, were surprised to find that the. steamer very soon appeared to be on dry land, as the sand had formed a line from her hull to the beach, and in fact all around; the hull itself. They walked out to her on dry land—viewed the situation, and then set a 'gang of diggers at work. But the !lemon of the sands kept ahead of them all the time. • Finally Captain Ryder was appealed to. Down he went to the grounded vessel, had a feW stakes driven near the stern and the bow to. keep the sand from filling in, had the -cable hauled taut, Mid wrote the owners. that in September their vessel would that free or go to pieces. Aud in Sep tember she floated -out uninjured. She had been simply bedded in the'sands, which, had they been allowed to form around, would in time have overwhelmed her. • , There are equally eirious phenomena at , Truro. Sometimes the great bank there, up which the waves come chasing'; each other con stantly, will wear away twenty feet in a year, and then for three years not so much as a foot. I. nder the edge of the bluff are dangerous shoals, on which, once driven, a vessel inust inevitably be wreeketl. Truro Highland is the place where no plowing can be done, because the furrows would all blow away. ; :"You would have to grass 'over the cliff the next year, or it Would all be quilled out," said a native to ate.—(unintoniceulth Sketches, Sprhuffield Be poblic(6l.
