tradition regarding tho white man's
origin and superiority. They say that

gin Of a small! lake, and baJe them leap
therein, and wash. One Immediately
pbcyed and came from the water purer
aud iairer than before the second hesi-
tatcd moment, during which time the
water, ngiiatcd by the first, had become
slightly mudded,and when he had bath
Cd he came up unprecedented the
third did not leap in ill the water be-
came black with mud, and he came out
with ne own color. Then the Great
Spirit laid belorc t'cm three packages
pi bark and badc them choose. and out
ot pity for HE misfortune ii color, gave
tho black man his Grsi choice. lie took
hold ofeach Of the packages aud having
felt the weight, chose the heaviest /; the
copper-colored one then chose the se-
eond heaviest, leaving IN, white man
the iightesI When the packages were
opened, the nrst was found to contain
spades. hoes, and all the implements Of
labor the second enwrapped hunting,

third gave to the white man pens, ink,
and paper--the engine oI the mind, the

raised by the Turks are Of great extent and very
strong. They are partly raised on two high
hills in the plain Of Kalafat, about mile dis
tant from each other, and have q numerous ar
tilery. All the neighboring country is comman-
ded by these hills in such way that no approach
to the Danube can be made. In1828 these hills
were occupied and fortified by the Russians.
Between Wildin and Kalafat the Danube is little
less than mile wide, and the course Of it is
very rapid island in which the Turks are
fortified is situated near the left bank; it is
partly covered with wood, and is defended by
strong intrenchments in earth, bearing large ar
tillery. Above Widdin the Turks have con-
atructed new citadel according to al the rules
