The Newspaper.
There is book instructive as the newspaper: no
knowledge so necessary to be acquired that which
may be CLEANED from its columns 1t is not only the We

cloying source OF happiness. A newspaper in family
is to be the of interesting, informing almost
every member of the family especially where they live

information almost every subject, at least eXceS
curiosity and enquiry all subjects. To know what
nearest to in and space is almost necessary most

SINGULAR MISUNDERSTANDING the Semin ole In
dans there is singular tradition regarding the white
mans origin and superiority They say that when the
great Spirit made the earth, he also made three men,
all of whom of fair complexion and that, after ma
king them he led them to the margin OF a small lake
and babe them leap therein and wash. One Immediately
obeyed and from the water purer than before the
second besitated moment, during which time the water
agitated by the first had become slightly muddy and
when he had bathed he came up cOpper-cOlOred the
third did not leap in TIL the water became black with
mud and he came out with his color. Then the
Great Spirit laid before them three packages of bark
and babe them choose and, out OF pity for his mistor
tune In color, gave the black the first choice. He
took hold OF each OF the packages, and having felt the
weight, chose the heaviest the cOppercoored then
chose the second heaviest, leaving the white the
lghtest. When the packages opened the first
found to contain spades hoes and all the implements OF
labor; the second enwrapped hunting, fishing and
like apparatus the third gave to the white man, pens,
ink and paper-the engine of the mind-the mutual,
mental lmprOvement-the social link of human-the
foundation of the white mans superiority
