Admixture Of Races in South America.

Nowhere, perhaps, says Prof Agassiz, is
the physical and moral deterioration OF
pure races 80 clearly shown as IN Brazil
The hybrid between the Indian and the
negro, called cafuzo, has none OF the deli
cacy of the mulatto; his complexion is
dark, his hair long, wavy and curling and
his character, instead of being coniding,
but indolent is described by Agssslz as ex-
bibitipe happy combination between the
Jolly disposition of the negro and the ener-
eetic, enduring powers Of the Indian. The
hybrid between the white and half-breed Is
called mameluco, and is described as being
pallid, effeminat4, feeble, lazy and rather
obstinate, the Indian influence having
apparently obliterated the higher charac-
teristics of the white, without imparting
its own energies to the offspring. Notice
able exceptions to this p.cture may be
found in the half-breeds of the semi-civil-
lied communities of our Southern Indians.
1t is very remarkable that the Indian,
crossing with either q negro or q white,
makes a deeper impress on his progeny
than the other races, and, IN accordance
with this fact, it is observed that, In fur-
ther crossings, the pure Indian character
acteristics are resumed and those OF the
other races thrown of. "Let any one,
saws Professor Agassiz, "who doubts the
evil of the mixture of races, and is In.
clined, from q mistaken philanthropy &c
break down all barriers between them,
visit Brazil"

Take INV Hand, Papa.

In the dead of night, am frequently

Sheep Talk.

The nervous system of sheep is compar-
atiyely feeble, and we find that though not
exempt from diseases of the brain and
nerves, they are nearly always of debih-
tating character. such as palsy; and those
ofirritation, as tetanus, spasms, &c are ex-
tremely rare. Thus we find that most OF
the severe diseases of the sheep are distin-
guished by a want of tone, and in general
this animal quickly sinks under the attack
of morbid agents. The digestive apparatus
forms so very important and pre-eminent
a feature in the animal economy
of sheep, consisting as it does, OF
a variety of complex parts for the
elaboration of the food, which do not
exist in any other animals, that we cannot
be surprised that its groans should be
those most susceptible TO disease. Ac-
cordinply we find that such is the case
that the diseases of the digestive organs
are FREQUENT, and both of mechanical
and chemical nature. We have both these
arising from a superabundance and de-
ficiencY of aliment, from its too great dry
ness or too great moisture, from its being
too Young and luxuriant, er from being too
old and withered, from containing un-
wholesome or poisonous principles, or the
minute and invisible eggs Of innumeraoie
insects. Thus we find that diseases con-
nected with the digestive organs are more
numerous or more frequent than all the
others to which sheep are liable.
Sheep are exposed throughout the veal
to the vicissitudes of the weather, froE
the effects of which they are In greai
measure protected by their vooiiy cover
ines; but standing sometimes on q cold
and wet soil, and anon on dry end Earn
surface, they are subject to the injuries
arising from these alterations, from tn
effects of standing for long time on
wet surface, and the reaction which after
wards succeeds from evaporation; disease
4 of the feet are therefore not ulfrequent
/ Again, from the same exposure they ar
subject to the attack OF flies and othe
vermin, which, particularly in the summe
months, prove source Of great annoy
ance, and require constant vigilace on tn
| part of the shepherd. To these morbis
causes may be added the circumstances
sheep being kept together often IN larg
iocks, and thus more exposed to the IN
fiuence of infectious diseases than animal
that are kept in more isolated state.
Such are the principal circumstances :
which these animals are subjected, an
which form the causes of their principa
diseases; and it is useful to keep In min
the nature of these causes, and the pt
culiarities and constitutional idiosyncrasie
of these animals, when treating them 10
their different diseases.

A ro1ntry Withont tireenbacks.

The Overland Monthly tells how the
Mormons manage to get along without
greenbacks:
Hundreds of farmers, living in reasona-
bly comfortable circumstances, and having
large families to clothe and educate, will
not see dollar in money for years. Such
a farmer wishes to purchase pair OF
shoes for his wife. he consults the shoe
maker, who AYERS his willingness to furnish
the same for one load of WOOD. He has
no wood, but sells calf for quantity OF
adobes, the ddobes for an order on the mer-
chant, payable in goods, and the order for
a load of wood, and straiRhtway the ma
tron is shod. Seven watermelons purcbas-
ed a ticket of admission to the theatre. He
pays for the tuition Of his children seventy
1--WE cabbages per quarter. The dressmak-
er receives for her services four squashes
per day. He settles his church dues In
sorghum molasses. Two loads OF pump
kins pay his annual subscription to the
newspaper. He buys Treaties on Co
lesial Marriage" for load of gravel and
bottle of soothing sirup for the baby for
bushel of string beans. In this primitive
method, until the advent of the railroad,
nine-tenths of the business of the Territory
was conducted. And even now In the
more remote settlements, majority OF al
transactions are of this character.

A mt that Burglars Cannot Crack.

The London correspondent of the Bos-
ton Commonwealth narrates the following:
Astranger in Threadneedle street. stand
ing in the narrow thoroughfare, shortly be-
fore ten o'clock in the morning, would have
his curiosity aroused by the number OF
we'll dressed men whom he would see en-
terinp silyersmith's shop, and In few
minutes reappes.ring with small Japan
boxes under their arms. If by further
chance it so happened he was at the same
spot between five and six o'clock in the
evening, he would probably observe the
same young men return to deposit the
same Japan boxes on the counter of the
same shop. The explanation is siple-the
boxes, which contain the unbanked Sc
curities and cash of merchants and bro
kers, are locked up for the night in the
siIyersmith's strong room, built in an exca-
walton of sand rock far below the surface OF
the street, and upon which falls, when
closed up for the night, considerable
flow of water. The merchants and bro
kers pay rent for the use of this secure
depository; and, acting no doubt upon
this idea, Mr.. Streeter, an extensive Jew
eler, intends to give the wealthy posses
sors of costly jewels the opportunity OF u.s.
ing his "ChatWood safe" with its hydro
pneumatic envelope and patent water
level guage. This safe stands on the
floor of his shop, and is open to day
light. Itrests upon foundation OF many
details, and of sufficient solidity to support
more than ten times sixty tons, the weight
of the safe itself, which is encased in con-
crete, embedded in which is water cham
Der connected with an apparatus and an
tubes to give timely warning of sinister
assaults. Besides this security, the safe
is burglar-proof, engineer-proof, gun-pow
der.proof, chemical-proof, miner-proof
and expert-proof. 1t cannot be fused, melt
ed. wedped, or bored, nor can the loci
of the door, which weighs sl1
tons. be picked or tampered with by thu
most skiiful manipulator without bringins
down on himself detector. The key con
sists of four parts, each in the posses
sion of different persons, so that danger
aysrted in that direction; while, suppos
ing that the whole key be lost. the ward
of the lock admit of no fewe
than two thousand variations, an'
a new key could be made tha
would render the old one perfectly useless
Granting, however, the possibility OF sue
cessfully breaking into the safe, it woul
require sixty hours 70 accomplish the feai
and, as before stated, the first blow, ma
the merest scratch of the operator, woul
at once be shown by the index OF paten
water-guage lever. The inventor Is n
lieved Of a good deal of anxiety In the prC
lection the safe affords for his own Valui
bic stock, and already many wealthy cl
ents have secured space in 1t for the sai
keeping of their jewels and title deeds

MARRIED IN FUH-A SERIOUS MATTER

New Jersey, in session at Trenton, q few
days ago. Chancellor Zabriskie rendered q
decision in the case OF Virginia McClurg
VS.. Benjamin F. Terry ct al, one OF the
mcst remarkable cases that has ever come
before the court. Miss McClurg brought
suit to have q marriage, which had been
performed by Justice of the Peace, set
aside by the court The allegation was
that the two parties to the suit met at SO,
cial gathering, and, for the amusement OF
the company, were married by Justice OF
the Peace who happened to be present
Afterward the defendant and his family n
sisted upon the legality of the marriage
and the Justice, upon being questioned,
did not know whether the parties whom
he had joined in wedlock were In earnest
or not The case having come into Chan
cery. Chancellor Zabriskie decided that
marriage, to be valid, must be agreed
upon by both parties, and he therefore de
ciared the marriage null and void
