ORIGIN OF NEGROES. 1t is said that the lower
order of Brazians entertain the following belief
to the original formation of the negroes:
AT the time," they say, "of the creation of
ADAM satan looked on and formed man of clay,
but everything he touched became black, and he
determined to wash him white in Jordan On his
approach the river retired, and he had only time
to push the black man orethe wet sand, which wet
the soles of his feet and palms and accounts for the
wilderness of those parts. In rage
the devil struck his creation the nose, by which
the fatness of that organ was accomplished. The
negro then begged for mercy as no blame could be
attached to him, upon which the other, somewhat
paci6ed, patted him upon the head, and by the
heat of his hand, curled his hair in the way it is
seen at the present time"
The same Brazilians also believe that the monkey
tribe inferior variety of the negro species
that they are gifted with the power of speech but
refused to talk in order to avoid being pressed into
the service of the white men. The dread flabor,
they say, is strong enough to make Jocko hold his
tongue.
