SINGULAR RACE OF HUMAN REINcs.-There now in
London two very singular human beings, of which
| has hitherto been very little known TO the civilized
world. they from South Africa, where they are
called Earlhmen They totally distinct from all other
known African races-as much if they had dropped
upon this earth from another planet They diminu-
tive IN sze--mefe pgmes-and unacquanted even with
the art OF building hus. They shelter themselves in
caves and cevces OF the earth when these wanting,
they make artificial scoopngs the surface which they
line with leaves and cover with branches. The Hocn
tots and Bushmen the avowsd enemies of the Earth
men, and when they meet them will shoot them down
like vermn. The poor, little deienceess Earihmen have
refuge but in holes trees, thckels and the tribe is
fast vergng TO extinction. They poor, weak peo.

though IL known that few still lnser in the mountains,
they rapidly dying away and will soon become ira
dtion Of an elhsh arile-Iace Of old.

state they fed locusts aneggs and such small game
as they could take Until they carried 10 England
