Presidential Chair in 1856. The idea

one, and wool has accordingly taken
start" Greeley thinks he has force
enough to make a President, but Sum-

in them. Seward maintains that they
must first conquer the Principalities,'

Kelly says, pay no respect to the con-
stitution. but deposit your votes in
your carpet-bags, and carry them down
to Congress, and if they won't receive
them, blow them up" Mr. Seward

INFLUENCE OF CLIMATE ON THE
Color OF MANK1ND.-For 1900 years
the Jewish race has been dispersed in
to different attitudes and climates, and
they have preserved themselves most
distinct from any intermixture with
the other races Of mankind. There
are some Jews still lingering in the
valleys of the Jordan, having been op-
pressed by the successive conquerors
Of Syria for ages-a low race Of peo-
pie, and described by trustworthy trav-
ellers as being as black as any Of the
Ethiopian races. Others of the Jew
ish people participating in European
civilization. and dwelling in the.north-
ern nations, show instances of!the light
complexion, the blue eyes, and light
hair of the Scandinavian families. We
zee then how to account for the differ
cnce in color, without having to refer
Them to original and specific distinc-
tions.-Py9f: Oaoeu.
