rallary must fall, even under the most speclous
theory. 1t is best to come up to the facts
Ever since the varieties OF man were represented
on the Egyptian tombs, some 1000 years ago, in
physiognomy and color identically then as they
now are, have any two of them, as masses,
amalgamated, giving hybrid progeny! Never
once. Individual instances have occurred; but
the issue soon becomes extinct, showing that a
higher law was violated. Repulsive instincts

Canaan, thro' Noah, and that for Ishmael at the

natures and distinct temporal distinies. Be this
