EQgEFhIB SEHTIHGL /
sinenlar Raee of Huraan beings.

There are now In London two very singular ha
man beings, of race which has hitherto oeeh
very little known to the civilized world. my
came from, South Africa, where they are caieu
Earthmen They are totally distinct from all
other known African races-as much so as II
thy had been dropped upon tins eafth 1fom q
mother planet. They are diminutIve IN slze-I
mere pygmies-and unacqualnted even win the
art Of building huts. They shelter themselves
in cages and crevices of the earth when these
are wanting they make artificial scoopings on the
surface, which they line with leaves and cover
with branches The Hottentots and Bushmen
ere the ayowed enemies of the Earthmen, and
when they will meet them will shoot them down
like yermin. The poor little defenceiess Earth
men have no refuge but in holes, trees, or thick
cts and the tribe is fast verging to extinction.
They ere poor weak peopie-oue of Natures
freaks-and destined not to perpetuate their
race. Few colonists have seen them. anu al-
though it is known that q few still lipger in the
mountains, these are rapidly dying away, and
will soon become a tradition Of an elfish alright
race Of old.
TIE two individuals above mentioned were
carried 10 England from the Cape of Good Hope
two or three years ago, and have become
csoInesticaued in an English family. The morn
ing Chronicle. from which take these partic
ulars, describe these little Earthmen o boy
and girl, the former fourteen and the latter
sixteen years of age and complete little fairies
in appearance. They boy is three feet three
and half inches in height End the girl n trihe
taller. Their skin IS Of the brightest and most
transparent bronze, and as smooth and polished
marble. In form the little creatures are per
fect-their delicate limbs standing out in the
most graceful svmetry. and every motion in
stnct with the untarght ease of nature. The
faces. though decidedly African in feature, are
full OF sweetness and good humor with an ex-
preston of archness and intelligence.
They are named Martins and Flora. In their
savage state they fed on locusts, and ant-eggs
and such small game they could take. Till
they were carried to England they had no ideas
Of God or of any supreme power. At present
they have been taught some Of the customs OF
civilized life. and are able to speak little airs.
and-the first of Earthmen-to play little airs
piano.
Few sights are more interesting to thinking
person than that of the last of race of human
beings on the point of being blotted out from
the face ofthe earth. The individuals in ques-
ton seem to constitute one of the most anoma-
ious forms Of our species that have ever yet been
brought 10 the notice of the naturalist or the
ethnologsts. It is to be hoped that further
light will be thrown their history by scienti-
fc researches.-Bostog Courier

siupular Occurrence.

On Wednesday morning last, two little girls
the one daughter of J. J. Keller, and the 9TH
er her cousin-slept together in the second sto-
~ of the residence Of Mr.. Keller, in Franklin
Row, North Queen street After getting out of
bed in the morning, as they were dressing them
selves, they discovered a snake in their bed
They immediately FASTENED down stairs, very
much frightened, and gave alarm Mr. Kel-
Ter at first believed it n delusion but proceeded
TO the room, where he discovered black water
snake about 20 inches in length snugly quar-
tered in the bed. 1t had evidently been there
all night. He Immediately killed the intruder.
How and when this snake reached the room
seems mysterious, as the house is in good order,
and there are no trees near it anything else
calculated to attract serve as harbor for
snakeS.-LQncaster Tribune

STORR;S CHEMICAL. HAIR Ey-
VESNRATHR

This delightful and popular article in the best
preparation for the hair which long experience
and scientific research has produced, either as
an article for the toilet or its beneficial effects
in all the diseases to which the human hair is
liable. 1t viii impart TO the toughest and coar-
sest hair the most beautiful appearance, entire
ly cleansing it from all impurities.
But while we assert that it is the best article
for the toilet of those who wish 10 retain the
hair in all its youthful
LUXURIAECE AND BEAUTY,
it must not be forgotten that in all diseases of
the hair or scalp, such the falling of the hais.
dandruff, pimples, sores the scalp, &c, il

satisfaction in every instance where 1t has been
used.
Its operation in case of badness is peculiarly
active so that, in numerous, where other rene
dies have been tried in vain STORR'S CHEM
lCAL INVIGORATORh has superseded the orna-
ments of art, by reinstating, in full plentitude

is possessed of character wholly differing from
the Oils, Grease, Restoratives, &C. which are
now numerously foisted ON the public, under

StorT's Invigorator

lean public. 1t is compounded on strictly sci
entifc principles, and the proprietor will stake

Colonization Herald.

The character and spirit Of paper if it has
any, may be easily gathered from the general
tone of its selected paragraphs, and often SIN
gle item is so full of meaning as to flash forth
the whole soul of journal. We think the fol-
lowing from tho Colonization Herald is one Of
these unerring witnesses, speaking out from the
soul of the scheme.
This same paper is full Of most glowing state
ments and prophetic visions of the swift ad-
vancement of the black race, both under the
teachings of slavery at the South, and (of free
dom y in Liberia. Liberia and a southern
plantation are held up as the only paradise of
the colored man; in any other position he
rushes straight down into barbarism. The

Vest India En'ancipdtion.-After a full trial
by Great Britain of negro emancipation, the
following article in the London Times should
receive the discreet notice of those philanthro-
pists, who, in our country, are dealing so rcck-
lessly with the future happiness of the American
blacks:
"our legislation has been dictated by the
presumed necessities of the African slave. AZ
ter the Emancipation Act, large charge was
assessed upon the colony in aid of civil and re-
ligious institutions for the benefit of the enfran
chised negro, and it was hoped that these col
ored subjects of the British Crown would soon
be assmilated to their fellow citizens. From

than from the visible probabilities of the case

have been falsifed. Tho negro has not acquired

A SPEcK OF WAR-TAx GATHERiNG.--
The county Treasurer stirred up little ex-
citemont in our town this week by threats 70
collect by force of arms, the taxes of the
Salem Bank. The bank claims that the taxes
demanded are not in accordance with their
charter and moreover have not been demnn-
dedin due form of law, and refuses payment.
The Treasurer after some previous visits, on
Monday last, called on the Cashier, accom-
panied by assistants, provided with crowbnrs,
cold chissels and hammers, for an assault
upon the vault, and for intimidation, exhibit
ed his revolver with appropriate threats
After due time thus spent, and making a
goodly amount of town talk, he finally beat
retreat, with on understanding that he
would return to the charge next day. The
next day found the bank shut" and so far
as we know, the man returned with his
revolver and crow bars to New Lisbon
Thus stands the matter now. The bank
desires TO have n judicial decision on the
question Of difference, 10y which of course
it must abide.

THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.

with his freedom any habits Of industry or NOR
ality. His independence is but little better than
that OF an uncaptdred brute. Having accepted
few Of the restraints of civilization, he is amen
able to few of its necessities and the wants of
his nature are so easily satisfied that at the cur
rent rate of wages, he is called upon for nothing
but fitfui or desultory exertion. Tho blacks,
therefore, instead of becoming intelligent hus-
bandmen, have become vagrants and squatters,
and it is now apprchendod that with failure of
cultivation in the island will come the failure of
its resources for instructing or controlling its
population. SO imminent docs this consum-
nation appear, that memorials have been signed
by classes of colonial society, hitherto standing
aloof from politics, and not only the bench and
the bar, but the bishop, clergy, and ministers of
all denominations in the island, without ex-
eeptions, have recorded their conviction that,
in the absence of timely relief, the religious and
educational institutions of the island must be
abandoned, and the masses Of the population
rctrogrado to barbarism."
