the soul for religion Of some sort--for Di.

the two qualities cannot be combined. The
conquest of genius are as the flashing Of livid
lightning that cracks the gloomy thunder cloud

But the heart that feels the thrill Of kindness,

AT a recent trial in South Carolina, in which
the point in dispute property in a mulatto
girl-rested on question of race, DR.. Gibbs,
an accomplished ethnologist and Psychologist,
gave the following interesting evidence with
regard to the hair OF different races
!" He handled negro skull, and demonstra-
ted clearly the peculiarities, and showed by
comparisonth the marked difference betweentheni.
He explained the difference between the ana
tomical structure Of different parts of the body,
and gave an interesting account Of the distinc.
ton in the hair Of the Cncassian, Indian and
Negro races. He stated very curious fact, as
resulting from microscopical observation, that
in the mulatto cross the hair of one or the other
parent was present. and sometimes hair Of both,
but never mongrel hair. He stated that the
microscope revealed that the hair Of the white
race was, when transversely divided, oval that
of the Indian circular, and that of the Negro
scientifically elliptical with hattened edges !;
that it was not hair, but wool, and capable Of
being felted that the coloring matter of true
hair was in an internal tube, while in the Ne
gro it was the epidermis Of scales covering the
shaft of the hair.
In corroboration Of his statement that both
white and negro hair were sometimes found in
the same head, he mentioned a singular case
He stated that he once attended a halfbreed
Indian and Negro, who had straight Indian
hair. lie had his head shaved and blistered.
On his recovery when his hair grew out, it was
Negro hair-crisped and wiry."

that either those who framed il or those who
adopted it. intended to recognize or sanction
the principle that an action might be maintain
ed upon contract to do an act which the law
forbade. On the contrary, comparison be-
tween the language of the act of 1904 and the
Constitution, tends stronglyto support the con-
struction we have given to the latter. The
prohibition in the act of assembly is to "exact
or take" and the second section, as we have
said, was introduced for greater caution, in
order to show more clearly that while the
penalties by that law were confined TO the &C
tual receiving, the prohibition extended further,
and embraced contracts in which usurious in
terest was received, although payable at fu-
ture time.
But the Constitution does not use the pro-
hibitory words of the lst section, but provides
that, no higher rate shall be !" taken or de-
manded." Now these words clearly embrace
a contract by which usurious interest is to be
paid at future day, as well as contracts in
which it is taken and received. 1t does not
mean usurious interest demanded in the nego
tiation previous to the loan, but demanded by
the contract itself when actually made. And
if so demanded it is evidently included in the
constitutional prohibition, even although the
words "exacted and taken" should be regarded
as confined to actual receipt In an instru-
ment like this we are bound to presume that
every word was deliberately weighed and con-
sidered before it was inserted. And with the
act Of 1904 before them, and about to estab-
lish under constitutional sanction the princi-
pie contained in its first section, it ought to be
supposed that its words were lightly or care
lessly changed, or the word "demandedn SUBJ
stituted in place Of the word exact,n without
an object. And the natural and proper object
would be to condense in few words the sub
stantial provisions spread out in the list and I'd
sections of the act of 1704. And we think
they have used words sufficient to accomplish
their purpose, and that the comparison between
the words Of this act of Assembly and the Con-
stitution Of 1851 tends to confirm the construc-
ton we have placed upon the latter-and
which its language naturally and legally inn
ports.
Upon the whole the court is of opinion that
the demurrer Of the plaintiff to the plea OF
usury cannot be maintained, and Judgment
must be entered accordingly.

From the Quincy Patriot.
John Quincy Adams,s Monument

A monument has Just been placed in the
Unitarian Church, in this town, to the memory
of John Quincy Adams, by his son, the Hon.
G. f. Adams. 1t is composed Of highly polish
ed Italian marble, and in size and form very
nearly resembles the one erected to the ex.
President John Adams, with the exception of
the upper part, where the bust rests, which is
enclosed on both sides by the upper members
of the cornice, that sweeps upward in graceful
lines toward it. The bust, which rests upon
the top, was executed in Italy, by the great
American sculptor, Hiram Powers, and is very
perfect and life-like in its resemblance of the
venerated statesman to whose memory it is
erected. Immediately under the bust is a Latin
sentence composed of two words, Alteyi Sc
cnlo," separated by an oak branch, with two
leaves and an acorn. The following is the In
scriptiOn
