ADMIxTURE OF RACES. per-
haps, says Professor Agassiz,i is the physical
and moral deterioration of pure races so clear
ly shown as in Brazil. The hybrid between
the Indian and the negro, called cafuzo, has
none of the delicacy of the mulatto; his COM
plexion isdark, his hair is long, wavy and
curling, and his character instead of being
confding, but indolent, is described by
Agassiz as exhibiting happy combination
between the jolly disposition of the negro and
the energetic, enduring powers of the Indian
The hybrid between the white and half breed
is called mame.uco, and is described as being
paid, effeminate, feeble, lazy and rather OBJ
stinate, the Indian influence having apparent
ly obliterated the higher characteristics of
the white, without imparting its own energies
to the offspring. Noticeable exceptions to
this picture may be found in the half-b breeds
of the semi-civilized communities of our south
ern Indians. 1t is very remarkable that the
Indian, crossing with either negro or a
white, makes deeper impress on his progeny
than the other races, and, in accordance with
this fact, it is observed that, in further cross
ing, the pure Indian characteristics are re-
sumed and those of the other races throw,
off. "Let any one, says Professor Agassiz,
"who doubts the evil of the mixture of races,
and is inclined, from mistaken philanthropy,
to break down all barriers between them,

How BOYS CATCH GoPHERs. The Oakland
Transcript tells the following yarn: Noticing
a couple of lads each with living gopher,
and string tied around their hind legs, on
the outskirts of the city the other day, our
curiosity was little excited as to how the
boys caught the ANIMALS. Upon inquiry,
one of them gave practical illustration by
going to a gopher hole, and letting the rodent
into it, taking care to hold fast to the string.
After waiting moment violent twitching
of the string from the lower end gave indica-
ton that some singular proceeding was going
on, and he commenced hauling in his line.
Soon the captive gopher hove in sight, with
his teeth fast into the jaws of another animal
of the same species. The stranger was i'm
mediately seized by the boy, who dcxterious-
ly avoided being bitten, and the new captive
was accommodated with string on his leg,
and made to do duty in assisting the boys to
trap other gophers.
