May 1,1873. The sndden prostration of lion. Oakes Ames by paralysis, so that his condition is dangerous, is an announcement that ex cites much and varied comment. Mr. Ames apparently bore up well under the Credit Mobilier investigation; but many will attribute his present condition to the effects of that affair upon id- s- tern. The people ot the Canada- are wiser than their government binding that there is no immediate pr i-pect of annex ation of the Dominion to t!._- United States they arc Hocking over to this country in larger numbers than ever. We find Can adians plenty in all our eastern bordei States, where they do good service lum bering and farming, filling up the gap made in our population byjhe western fc ver. We rosy be wrung, but from a remark roach by the Kennebec Journal, we infer that it ap prove* of the consolidation of all the railroads ea*t of Bottun, by the Massachusetts Legis lature that will not only prevent the building of a competing line between Bangor and Port land, bnt put the people and business inter est* of central Maine entirely at the mercy of a foreign corporation that will have no other Interest in view but to wring out of them the utmost dollar. Do we understand the Journal correctly?—Portland Press. We think there is not the least doubt that the Press labors under a mistake about this paper. It might as well ask us If vre approve building a road to Japan or Tophet at ask the above questions, but to satisfy its curiosity we answer that wc are “no such a man” as troubles its itnasrlna tion. The death of Hon. James L. Orr, Minis ter to Russia, is reported. He died at St. Petersburg, on the Oth, very suddenly, ol inflammation of the lungs. Mr. >rr was a native of South Carolina, having been born in the town of Cray ton ville, of that State, in 1822 He received a university education, studied law and entered into practice at the liar. In 1848 he was elect, ed to Congress, and continued to serve the State as representative until 1860, be ing Speaker during the thirty-fifth Con gress. He was an advocate of secession, and for three years represented Soutli Car olina in the Confederate Senate. Since the rebellion lie lias been active In politics, favoring the policy on the part of the South of accepting the results of the wat in good faith. lie was a participator in the Johnson movement lor the reconstruc tion ttf parties, bnt in 1870 joined the re publicans, and In 1872 was a member ol the convention which renominated Presi dent Grant. Had his life been spared lit would without doubt have filled the placi to which he was appointed faithfully am well. lie was otic of the leading men ol the South, and had a far jusler and broad er view of the proper course for that sec tion to pursue in relation to reconstruction than the great majority of Southern states men. THE BRIDGE DISASTER. Hie following is a more complete accounl of the terrible bridge disaster at Dixon, Illi nois, on the 5tb, than lias been published ir the dispatches: This is a dark day for Dixon. Over tin whole city there is a pall of sadness, the gloon of which the least interested cannot help feel ing. The calamity strikes at nearly ever) houaehold, and the rich and poor meet togetli er in mourning. So closely bound are tin citizen* by the ties of blood and intermnr riage, that there is scarcely a family in tin whole place but takes the sorrow to its house. Th« (tores are closed and the houses daikened. Everybody is on the street, and all the country around has emptied itself into the town till the roads and walks are crowded, and both banks of the river by the wreck are packed with human beings. The meagre information published this morning gives hut a faint idea of the disaster, and as the details develop, as survivors tell the story of their escape, as fathers report the ntmes of missing children, and friends those of friends who are missing, the catsstrophc grows in magnitude, and it will be days before the horror can be fully comprehended. Sabbath morning dawned warm and bright. The ceremony of the Iiaptist Church, which had been several times postponed, was an nounced for 12 o'clock, and ten converts pre sented themselves for the rite of baptism. Th* mildness of the weatlur drew a large crowd to the river, which gathered upon the steep banks and on the bridge, at the north end of which the ceremony was to be per formed. morning services in other churches were just closing, and ns the bridge was a thoroughfare, the throng received cot. slautueecastone, till nearly 2,000 souls were gathered at the place. 'The bridge, which stretches not more than fifty or sixty feet above the sutural font, which was used for the baptis 9*1 ceremonies, was the favorite point of view for the women and children. Just as the third candidate was presenting himself for baptism, there was a sharp, quick crash, a heavy rumbling, ami a prolonged, soul-rending shriek from 500 beings. The main western stringer of the north span of; the bridge broke like a reed, tipping 300 per- sons,into the stream, and falling fifty feet with crushing weight upon them. The shock ran along the whole length of the bridge like a flash of electricity vand span after span was drawn from the piers and sank to the water’s surface, till the whole five hung like immense bags holding a bruised, bleeding, frightened, and frantic mass of men, women, children, and horses. The imagination can scarcely conceive of a more terrible calamity. The situation was so terrible, the chances of es cape so few, the chance of aid so scanty, that it is merely marvelous that the loss of life is not greater. The water runs in swift currents over a dam not more than 100 yards above, and it was so swollen by recent rains that its deptli was about twenty feet. Not only those who were precipitated w ith the falling span went under the water, but many on tho oilier irpans were either thrown by the shock into the stream, or plunged in themselves to escape being crushed by tile crazy crowd. The scene cannot he described. The fancy can not picture it. The eyes of those who wit nessed it were blinded with horror, and the whole crowd on the hanks stood paralyzed for a moment, unable to speak or move until the mind could catch a faint comprehension of the situation. An old man who sat on a log near the hank, when the bridge went down, says “I heard the erack and saw tho surging, rolling line. 1 heard voices and then my head was dizzy and whirled till the sky looked black.” As soon as the fact w as felt by the crowd on the banks there w as a rush to the water. Strong men plunged in to rescue those w ho came to the surface. Boards and planks were thrown to their relief, and a number of boats which were fortunately at hand were sent im mediately to the aid of the wounded. Few of those w ho were saved can tell who rescued them, and most of those who were most in strumental in saving life, are unable yet to recall what they did or whom they helped in the moment of frenzy. There were stretch ers still clinging to the abutments w hich were not loosened by the fall, and to these were clinging persons, desperate for life. Thu air is thick with miraculous escape and the deeds of brave rescuers. Mr. llenry T. Noble, a prominent citizen ar.d manufacturer, stood in the centre of the span, with his wife and Dr. and Mrs. Ilolfman, holding little Grace Smith in his arms. He says “I felt the bridge j tremble; then came a cras(i, and we were all 'down. I clasped the child closer, and while in the air, made a desperate effort to plunge. I struck the water feet down, and felt the bot tom. 1 gave a spring and was almost instant ly at the surface. The child was apparently insensible, and clinging to my coat and hair. I threw her body over my shoulder and struck out for the shore. It was hard swimming, for the water was full of iron, planks, and bodies. Just us 1 was fairly gaining progress a man whose head and face were bleeding terribly seized me by the left nrm and almost took me under. 1 tried to free myself, but his grasp was strong as steel, and giving up all hope, I broke the hold of the child, and, holding her out of the water, threw her with all the force of my right arm, toward the shore. A man with a boat caught her before she sank and took her in. I went to the bottom again with him. Mrs. Noble and .Mrs. Hoflnian were cut by the falling timber, and were drowned. The bodies were recovered in the afternoon. I)r. Hodman is now at the hotel in a critical con dition. His wife was buried this morning. He has friends in Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chi cago and other cities. As soon as the observers comprehended the situation they .ran over the town and spread tiie news. The town became at once pos sessed with intense excitement, and mothers rushed about frantically apprehensive for the safety of their children. As the crushed and mangled bodies were brought to shore the air was rent with wails of sorrow from broken hearts over their dearest treasures. Hus bands and wives were clasped in eacli others arms; pious mothers fell down upon ttieir knees and thanked a merciful Providence that their friends had been spared; women fainted and strung man bent down ard wept. Each lifeless body brought to light, rent touie heart anew, and each one rescued alive caused a shout of joy. Mourning and rejoicing were mingled together. The work of search and recovery continued through the alternoon. Nearly all the loss of life was owing to the crushing weight of the bridge,.for all who came to tile surface of the water were quickly saved. Men seemed to have superhuman strength given them, and took alarming hazards without the quiver of muscle. Edward Patrick, Frederick Shaw, William Daumier, Vr’illiam Lawson, William Shylock, Atwood Barr, Henry Wood, James Van Arman", and other young men, plunged boldly into the water and swam like heroes with the bodies of senseless women and children. Jacob Armstrong went down i witli the crash, but crawled from under the net-work of iron, saved himself, and (hen plunged in again and saved others. William Schultes, Jos. Hayden, Eustace Shaw, narrowly escaped death, hut extricated themselves from the iron-work, and swam ashore. Tony Brantigan, a boy eight years old, clung to a plank, ami was rescued half a mile down river. Frederick Hope was found Huating two miles down the river, and was rescued. A young lady named Hazenplug Had a narrow- escape, being protected by a net-work of iron at the side of the abutments. A child of John Wadsworth was seized by tiie hair by a swimmer and drawn to the I shore. Hev. Mr. Pratt, the oiliciating clergyman, was just repeating the ritual when the bridge fell. He threw off his coat and boots, and by courageous effort succeeded in saving six lives. The rnan is totally crushed by the weight of sorrow, lie lias some injuries, and suffered much from exposure, 1 lie session ol ii. G. Lodge of Good Templars is postponed to July 20th. It will occur at the city of London, England, and tiie Good Templars ol Great Britain arc making extensive preparation for the reception and entertainment of the American delegation. The extension of this Order in Great Britain within lift? past year is unprecedented. A special cable despatch from Madrid, rep resents the advocates ot a federal republic as active and revolutionary in their demonstra tions at the capital. Although the threat of an armed demonstration was made the meeting Monday was of a peaceable, although excit ing character, and placards were liberally displayed setting forth the demands of the federalists. These are in the main the irn 1 mediate proclamation of the federal Republic, the abolition of capital punishment, the abo lition of the State Council and the separation of Church and State. A despatch on Tuesday evening says Hon. Oakes Ames was-attacked by paralysis at five o'clock last evening at his residence iu North Hasten, and remains unconscious this morn ing. The local physicians and two noted practitioners from Doston, who went out on a special train, remained with him last night. The symptoms are dangerous in the extreme. Mr. Anus hat; not been able to attend to busi ness since Tuesday, and was at his office for the last time on Wednesday, when lie was ad vised to go home for rest, but no apprehen sions were felt for him until last night. A writer in the London Times shows, by reference to the agricultural returns from various parts of the island, that the acreage of land under corn is much less than last year, and that the bad condition of the ground from excessita rain threatens a short crop. He antictyMtM that more than hatf the grain needed for English consumption must come from foreign sources. It being “an ill wind which blows nobody good,” our countrymen, though sympathizing with their English cous ins over the prospect of a scarcity of eon, may yet, without wrong, be glad to reflect that we can spare millions of bushels to en rich us, while they feed our neighbors. A Louisiana exchange, in an article upon the coming sugar crop of that section, re marks “At the present time, Iho plant cane is up iu every field of this parish, and it is seldom a planter is heard to complain of not having as good a stand as he could wish, and never since the memorable season of 1833 have the crops promised so well. The long rain, it was feared, had injured the seeds in mats and winnows. But the contrary has proven the case with planting iu this parish, and the number of acres of plant cane are greater this year than any time since the war closed. Such are our crop prospects at this early day, and we think we haxard nothing in saying that we believe a prosperous season is ahead of us." GENERAL NEWS. Nevada complain* that many Eastern peo ple think it is n Territory. John Serliner shot James Lang's head oil'at Belleville, 111., Saturday, to prevent his mar rying Serliner’a sister. Kankakee, III., lias a button factory that employs forty hands. This number will soon I be increased to seventy-five, after which a i ton of material per day will be worked up, producing 14,-100,000 buttons per annum. There appears to be no limit to the enter prise of Massachusetts fishermen. Halibut having become scarce off Greenland, vessels from Gloucester and Boston will try their lack in the waters of Iceland, six hundred miles north of the usual fishing ground. The Association of Yale graduates in New York have resolved to institute a series of in formal meetings, for discussion during the i whiter, followed by a supper in place of the annual banquet.

As well do business with out an index. The Norwegians in different parts of Min nesota are preparing to celebrate the anni versary of the concession of tlieir national constitution by Denmark on the 17th of May. There are lots of good in human nature. The other day, the Detroit Post contained a little item to tire effect that two orphan girls were at the station-Jiouse, homeless and pen niless, and before noon thirtee^ different per sons had called and offered to adopt them. It is a curious fact that the farmer of Illi nois or Missouri must sell two bushels of ripe corn to get money enough to buy a can of sweet corn put up green and bolding less than one quart. An old lady 301 years old lately walked 200 Iowa miles iD one day, chopped ten cords of wood, dug fifty bushels of potatoes, and then danced all night.

Little boys who hate to learn their letters in the ordina ry way are found applying themselves with assiduity to his nice, large, highly-colored bills, eager to find out the names of the “crit ters" from caravandemonsland, and how high is the admittance fee-gee-isldnder. The tea market in New York is greatly de pressed and several heavy failures in that line are reported. All grades have declined from 10 to 60 per cent, in value. Oolongs have fallen off most, the losses on those qualities averaging from 30 to 50 per cent., with an immense stock, sufficient for eighteen months’ business, still on hand. Many deal ers have suspended importations, and will endeavor by this means to average their los ses over longer time, so that they may be sustained without entire suspension of busi ness.

1*1 AVTTQnfT or MI!T. Mr. Frank Calvert, of tbe Dardanelles, who, betide his arehwoiogieal attain ments, is an experienced geologist, has communicated to the Levant Herald the following notice of a discovery which he has noade near that town, and which car ries back the existence of mankind to a period immensely more remote than has yot been ascertained bv scientific research “I have had the good fortune to discover in the vicinity of the Dardanelles conclu sive proofs of the existence of man dur ing the Miocene period of the Tertiary age. From the face of a cliff composed of strata of that period, at a geological depth of 800 feet, 1 have myself extracted the fragment of a joint of a bone of either a dinotherium or a mastodon, on the con vex side of which is deeply incised the un mistakable figure of a horned quadruped with arched neck, lozenge-shaped chest, long body, straight forelegs and broad feet. There are also traces of seven or eight other figures, which, together with the hind quarters of the first, are nearly obliterated. The whole design encircles the exterior portion of the fragment, which measures nine inches in diameter and five in thickness. I have also found not far from the site of the engraved bone in different parts of the same cliff, a flint flake and some bones of animals, fractur ed longitudinally, obviously by the hand of man for the purpose of extracting the marrow, according to the practice of all primitive races. There can be no doubt as to the geological character of the for mation from which 1 disinterred these in teresting relics. The well-known writer on the geology of Asia Minor, M. de Tcbi hatcheff, who visited this region, deter mined it to be of the Miocene period and the fact is further confirmed by the fossil bones, teeth, and shells of that epoch I found there, for 1 sent drawing^ of some of these fossils to Sir John Lubbock, who obligingly informs me that having submit ted them to Messrs G. Husk and Jeffreys, those eminent (authorities have identified among them the remains of dinotheriuiu and tbe shell of a species ol melanin, both of which strictly appertain to the Miocene epoch, lu addition to these discoveries, at about ten miles distance from t lie above locality 1 have lately come up m other traces of man's existence in i!i iit ->00 or 300 feet thick, underlaying 400 or .100 feet of stratified rocks. I cannot positively af firm that this formation is likewise Mio cene, the fossil shells it contains not hav ing yet been examined scientifically; but in all probability such will prove to be the case. Throughout this drift 1 have found numerous stone implements much worn. Flint is comparatively rare, but other hard stones have been adopted, red and other colored jasper being most common. Some of these implements are of large size, weighing upward of nine pounds. It is not more than iorty or fifty years since th« possibility of man's having come into be ing at an earlier period than the received term of 6,000 years was first discussed; and it is only quite recently that geolo gists, upon the evidence furnished by the Quaternary drift, are agreed to assign him an antiquity of about 100,000 years. Some suspected traces of his existence have, in deed, been noticed in the Piiscene and Mi ocene formations, but not sufficiently markep to be conclusive. It may be men tioned that the drift of the Quaternary age to which the earliest vestiges hitherto known of primitive man had been confin ed, forms immediately below the earth’s surface, comparatively speaking, a mere crust; beneath underlie in succession the vast thicknesses of the new and old Plio cenes and the Miocenes of the Tertiary age, to which last my discovery now car ries back the existence of mankind. The remarkable fact is thus established beyond a question that the antiquity of man is no longer to be reckoned by thousands, but by millions of years. I shall abstain from making further researches in the place where the engraved bone was discovered until I can do so in the presence of per son* well known in the scientific world, who, I trust, may be tempted to visit the spot. 0 DR.
