Condition, Character and His
Tory of the African Race.
NUMBER TWO.

In my first paper on the Condition
Character, and History of the African Race,
| stated that it would be surprising to be-
told that among the victims of the slave
trade among us have been men of learning
and pure and exalted characters, who have
been treated like beasts Of the field by
those who claim purer religion.
About hundred years ago a report
reached England, that q young African
slave, in Maryland named jon Ben SOLOMON
was able TO write Arabic, and appeared to
be well educated and well bred. Measures
were taken to secure his release, aud he
was sent to England, where he assisted
Sir HANS SLOAN in translating Arabic and
acquired character of tho highest kind for
intelligence, judgment, morality and kind
ness Of heart. He was sent up the Gambia
River, where he was received with the
warmest welcome, and the truth of his
story was fully proved, he being the son of
the hereditary prince Of that part of the
country.
Several other Africans have been known
at different periods, in different parts OF
America, somewhat resembling JOB Ben
SOLOMON in requirements, but unfortunately
no fall account of any Of them has ever
been published. THEODORE DWIGHT, ESQ.,
of Brooklyn, N. Y, has obtained information
from different individuals. There has al
been insuperable difficulties in the way in
slave countries, arising from the jealous
les and cruelties of the masters, which pre-
vented any considerable search. Doubtless
hundreds have dragged their lite out un-
known. The writer above quoted found
three native Africans in the North that
were able to read and write. one of whom
gave him long personal interviews.

had lived IN Fayetteville, North Carolina,

The Nashville Banner relates the fol.
lowing
We learned yesterday from a gentleman
of uudoubted veracity, and who is ac.
quainted with the facts we are about to re.
late, one of the most wonderful freaks of
nature on record, which occurred in West
Tennessee.
The incident happened in one of the
most respectable families in that section,
ard it's features are 80 revolving that very
few would readily believe that such thing
could possibly occur. Strange as it may
seem, however, we are assured of its au-
thentcity, and lay it before the public as
ii came to us.
A lady living near Trenton, was few
nights since delivered of child, the head
of VIII Oh and the body from the abdomen up,
were those OF living rattlesuakc, while the
lower mbs were those of a hnman being
The strange oil ject has all tie characteristics
aud appearance Of a snake, is still alive, and
will probably live and grow to its natural
size. The lady is rapidly recovering her
health.
This startling lusus ndturOe is accounted
for by the fact that the mother, some time
previous to her confinement, narrowly es.
capped the tangs OF huge rattlesnako, aud
was so terrified by the occurrence that she
became subject to fits.
We are not permitted 10 mention any
flames in connection with this remarkable
occurrence, the delicacy OF the subject war
rantng us in omiltng them.

TIE pRuNKARp,s DAUGHTER.
BY G. W. BUNeAY.

by @. W. BUNGAY.
Out in the street with naked feet,
| saw the drunkard's little daughter;
Her tattered shawl was thin and small;
She little knew for no one taught her.
Her skin was fair, her auburn hair
Was blown about her pretty forehead.
Her sad, white face wore sorrows trace,
And want and woe that were not borrowed
Heart-broken child, she seldom smiled;
Hope promised her no bright tomorrow
Or if its light flashed on her night,
Then up came darker clouds Of sorrow.
She softly said "We have no bread,
No wood to keep the fire q burning"
The child was i'll the winds so chill
Her thin, cold blood to ice was turning.
But men well fed and warmly clad,
And ladies robed in richest fashion.
Passed on the side where no one cried
To them for pity or compassion.
That long night fed, and then the light
OF rosy day in beauty shining,
Set dome and spire aud roof on fire,
And shone on one beyond repiniug.
Asleep -alone-6s cold as stone,
Where no dear parent ever sought her;
In windng-sheet of snow and sleet
Was found the drunkard's lifeless daughter
