Is Darwin Viudicatod?
l!ltorof ttio Indlnunpoltn Jonrnnl.
J find in tho Dtarlo do Jfuranham
tho following nccount of an important
iliHCOvory which I havo translated lor
your columns. I). II. Fkiinandes.
In Marnnhain, a province of the
oinplro of .Brazil, at a plantation of a
Mr.S. Vicria, a well was being dug by
liiH negroes. When they had dug down
to tho lower bed of the tertiary strata
they came upon nomu bones which
appeared peculiar to them. They sent
to tho house for their innster, who.
upon seeing them, comprehended the
importance of tho discovery at such a
depth. Ho immediately ordered tho
work stopped and Bent to tho city of
Maranham for Dra. Urandao, Sogncr,
Jhuhosa, and Jausen l'cncirn, who
after studying the mibject agreed that
they were human bones in a fossil
statu. They repaired to the place, and
after twenty-four hours labor in ex
cavating, succeeded in taking out a
complete skeleton without tho los of
tho least particle The skeleton is of
colossal dimensions, measuring eight
feet and three inches in height. And
what is more extraordinary is tho pro
longation of ' tho dorsal spine inoro
than twontyinchuft. If this skeleton
does not belong to an individual who
hadsuch a deformity, then wo havo
tho most brilliant confirmation of the
doctrine of Darwin. What is neces
sary now Jb to contlnuu the excavation
and discover another skeleton, and at
once the great scientific problem of
man is solved.
What this discovery has already
absolutely solved is tho existenco of
man beforo tho tertiary epoch. To
what nation, then, does this skeleton
belong? Can it belong to any nation of
tho red men who inhabited .South
America at tho time of its discovery?
Or can it belong to any nation extinct
boforo that epoch ? All corroborate the
latter hypothesis. Extensive investi
gations will yet ono day giro to
humanity tho solutions of these
problem. Tho whole skeleton has
been brought to Major Polycarpo l'in
heiro to bo prepared for exhibition.
It is to bo sent to tho museum at Hco
do .Janeiro, with a box of tho clay in
which it was buried as a specimen.

Miusonri Bivor Improvement.
Atchison (llot)o.
It has been decided by tho engineers
that tho best way to improve tho
Missouri river is to make it narrower
and deeper, and to this end at all wido
points whero work Juts been ordered
dykes will bo thrown outtoconilno the
channel to ono side, and provent it
from scattering over a nillo and a half
of territory, which width can bo seen
at several places between this city and
Leavenworth It is supposed that
tlio Missouri river is always changing
its channel, but Captain Young, who
has been a pilot for thirty years, says
that ho can point out mile after mile
that has never changed a particle in all
that time, and he showed us ono place
on Saturday whero tho current had run
uninterruptedly for thirty years to his
knowledge. Captain Young has an
opinion on liargo transportation, which
is to tho effect that it is God's way of
carrying grain, but every bargo must
J io supplied witli motivo power. A
tow in this river is hard to handle, but
tho railroads can bo seriously stabbed
ly building barges of a capacity of
1,500 tons, and supplying each ono with
motivo machinery., Tho Missouri
river only falls 7-lOtha of a foot to tho
mile.., Tlio plan of protecting the
shore, with mattresses of willow will
1)0 abandoned this year, as it has been
found that uttjens both banks are
mattressod from tho source to tho
mouth, tlio river will get in behind
them during liigli water and go on
with tlio cutting. Linca of niles will
lm driven out into tlio river instead,
which will throw tho current into tlio
centre, and stop tho cutting. Uy
means of approved machinery, now
being tested at tho east end of the
bridge, theso piles will bo driven at the
rate of thirty feet a minute. This iH
accomplished by running an iron pipe
down with tho pile, and which tears
the sand from under it by hvdraulic
pressure. Tho piling used will be
live cottonwood from tho government
reservation.
Senator Sherman is credited witlrthe
remark, that "if Fostor is beaten ho can
attributo it to Ilalstead's foolish
course toward Conkling." It does
Governor Fostor no good to havo his
praises sounded in a newspaper that
demands that tho President to "crush
the political life out of Conkling." It
simply disgusts tho Stalwart llepubll
cans whom Fostor depends upon for
his election. Only last October Mr.
llalstead, writing of Mr. Conkling in
tho columns of tho Commercial, said:
Tho Senator from Now York Jb tho
most connpicuous flguro In tho cam
paign. If bin attention were
callod to tho subject, ho would see that
all things Jiavc workod together for tho
good of placing him promiueiitly boforo
the country, and wo assure him, as it
were confidentially, that if ho puts in a
fow day of stalwart service in Indiana,
and then roturns to and carries Now
York, ho will have this country in a
slinp. If not he will havo the primacy,
as wo believe they call it.
lie can not establish tho third term
even as a recognition and reward for
tho most Illustrious service, but he can
do almost any tiling else that may
seem good to him. This Western trip
will nationalize him. It is important
that an American statesman should
look upon tho Miamls and the Wabash,
and walk in tho woo la pasture.) wliero
tlio buckeyes and tall sycamores bloom.
Tho point of the present writing is,
however, to quote for tho benefit of
Senator Conkling, a letter wo received
tho other day to this effect: "You
attach too much importance to Indiana.
We shall win without thatStato. Tho
election of Garfield and Arthur is cer
tain. Senator Conkling is about to
render his country a supremo service.
He can and will carry Xew York for
thellepublican tickot, and save the
campaign. This ho will do irrespective
of Indiana."
An enterprising rascal drew to New
York a young countryman, to whom
lie had agreed to eell $10,000 in counter
feit money for $J00. Tho young
countryman received tho counterfeiter
in liis room at tho hotel, got the drop
on him with a six-shooter, and politely
handed him over to a police olllcer.
