An olive color is darkly brown, tawnyi
and why the human family is any 9TH

says that Ham went to Il region of the
world where the cline changed his col
or TO black that Japheth went North,
where tho, climate gave him a white
skin and that Shem went in another
direction, and, according TO climactic
conditions, became like the Chinese,
yellow complexioned. And, accord

the place that is destined to restore
the original hue to the human family
rs here are now meeting in fraternal
relations the Japhethites, the lIamites
and the Shemites-the whites, the ne.
grocs and Chinese the commingling
of the blood of whom, under the mis-

whom He made in his own image. -
Such is the stuff dispensed in leiu of the
Gospel by the occupant of the pulpit
of the church that is patronized by tho
Court circles of Washington.

"Most persons do not know that Mr..
Douglas was, by birth, a Yankee, and a

State in New England, ,-Vermont.-
When the Kansas-Nebraska bill was be-

spring Of 1854, the members from Yer
mont loaded him with Teproaches and
execrations. In 1858, Douglas came
back at them and at his parent State,
too, in speech, one extract from
which will be remembered as long as
anything he ever said;

Gently, in the presence of ex-Attorney
General II. II. Brewster, of Pennsylva-
MIA, who was seated with the President
in conversation in the late red parlor,
where your correspondent was also ad-
mitted, the President stated that he
had several important recommends
tions to make TO Congress on financial
matters one was to give more extend
ed powers to the Secretary of the Trea'
sury in the liquidation of the debt, and
not TO confine it TO certain amount
ar, at least, not TO so small amount pei
Annum. .Another was to allow the tax
bills to remain unchanged for another
year, 30 as to be certain Of a'large rev
enue, which will work great results il
that time, taken in connection Will
the progress already attained. AthirC
proposition he mentioned was in relo
tion to funding the debt at a lower rat'
of interest. This the President con
sidered extremely necessary, an'
should be carried out at the earlics
moment, as the Government was pay
ing entirely too much interest
The last point mentioned was tn
speedy resumption of specie payment
He thought this would put an end t
the infamous operations in gold spccr
lators, and, by putting II stop 10 fiuctu
ations, would strengthen the industric
of the country and restore greater col
fdence and unparalleled prosperity"
