The following curious account Of bab-
oon family Is tran !-tci from recent
French work by NJ Boitard for Goodrich's
Illustrated Natural History;
There have been and still are in the
menagerie of the Garden of Plants, Paris,
a number Of baboons, and four years ago,
a female who had young one, furnished
one Of the most amusing and singular spec
tacles I ever witnessed. She was placed
with 1t in cage, near the one she former
v occupied with several other animals of
the same species. The infant baboon was
hideousIy ugly, but she la,ished upon 1t
the most tender caresses. " hen it was
eight days old, the door Of communication
was opened, and her mate entered. The
mother, seated in the middle of the cage,
held the Young heir in her arms. precisely
as q nurse would 10 under similar circum-
stances. The happy father approached
and embraced his mate with French gal
antry upon each side Of the face; he then
kissed the other one, and sat down oppo-
site to the mother, 50 that their knees
toueLed each other They then both be-
gan to move their lips with rapidly, tax
ing the young one from each others arms,
as f they were having most animated
conversation concerning II.
The door was again opened, and the ba.
boon friends entered one after another,
each embracing the mother, who, howey.
er, would not allow them 10 touch the
Young one. They seated themselves in q
circle and moved their lips, as if tehcita-
ting the happy couple on the arrival Of the
son and heir, and perhaps finding IN II
marvellous resemblance TO either the father
or mother This scene was very much
like that which often takes place in the
human family on similar occasions, except
that we suspect that the fluctuations were
more heartfelt and genuine on the part OF
the brutes, than Oh that Of their more IA
vored prototypes.
All the balloons wished TO caress the
young one; but no sooner did one Of them
put forward his hand, than a good slap
from the motber warned linn Of his lndls-
cretion. Those who were placed behind
him stretched out their hand silly, slid it
under his arm, and succeeded sometimes,
to their great JOY, in touching the little
one without the mother perceiving It, par
ticularly when she was engaged in conver-
aation. But a smart correction soon
taught them that their indiscra.ion was
observed. and they quickly retreated. 1t
wac evident that tie monkey mother was
thoroughly acquainted with the reqni~e-
ments of her position, knew perfectly we'll
how to divide her attention between her
guests and her infant charge.

SINGULAR TRADTToS - Among the
Seminole Indians there is singular tradi-
ton regarding the white mans origin and
superorty They say that when the
Great Spirit made the earth, he also made
three men, all OF whom were Of fair com
plexion; and that after making them be
led them to the margin Of a small lake and
babe them leap therein. One immediate
" obeved, aud came from the water purer
than before he bathel; the second did not
leap in until the water had become slight
Iv muddy, and when he bathed he came
up copper colored the third did not leap
in until the water became black with mud,
and came out with lis own color.
Then the Great Spirit laid before them
three packages Of bark and bale them
choose and out of pity for his misfortune
in color lie gave the black man his first
choice He took hold ofe,ch otthe pack
ages and having felt the weight, chose the
heaviest; the copper cojered then chose
the second heaviesi, leaving the white man
the lightest. When the packages were
opened the first was found to contain
spades, hoes, and all the implements Of
labor; the second enwrapped hunting,
fishing and warIil,o apparatus; the third
gave the white man pens, ink and paper
the engine Of the miud-the mutual, men
tai improyement-the social link of hu-
manity-the foundation Of the white mans
superiority.

William A. Richardson has been nominated for
Congress in the With Quincy District Illinois, in

this change, and not well pleased, deeming Morris
the less plastic and more earnest man. As son
of the late Senator Thomas Morris of Ohio, he
ought to have been good Free-Soiler of the JEFF

his natural instincts tended that way, but were
overborne by his utilization with Douglas. The
