TIE QUESTION OF RACE A
writer in Blacksc0od for March
states succinctly and clearly the
law that governs the superior race
in it's intercourse with the infe-
rior races. He says:
"When the man of white skin
goes forth to remote regions, to
subdue and from settlements as in
America, Australia, South Africa
and New Zealand, he goes as q
superior being, assumes possession
by the right if not by the divinity,
of his color and will listen to no
terms on the part of the original
possessors Of tie soil, but abso-
lutte esubmission to his sovereign
will. 1t they submit, they may
live, If they prove troublesome,
they must be subdued. If they
put themselves in q state of per-
manent rebellion, they must be
exterminated. This seems to be
the law which the Caucasian race
has imposed upon itself; law
which has been somewhat relaxed
in the case Of the French and
Spaniards who were once the col
onizers of the New World. but
which has never been seriously re-
laxed by the Anglo-Saxons, the
Anglo-Celts, and their Teutonic
cousins-who now between them
from the great, all-conquering all
pervading race that repienishea
the waste places of the globe, and
clears the way before it by the
dispossession and subsection of
the natives"

The Capitol Building at Richmond.

The Capitol building was one
of the most conspicuous IN. the
city of Richmond, occupying u
lofty eminenco on the brow OF
Shockoe Hill. and was about tho
first object which met the eye on j,
every avenue Of approach. 1t
was constructed in the year 1900.
under the direction Of Thomas
Jefferson, then President of tho
United States, and was modelled
after the Parthenon in Athens.
1t was about 223. feet in length.
100 feet broad, and some 60 from
the ground to the caves of the
roofing. 1t consisted Of base
ment story entirely above ground,
used by the various State officers;
q second story which was divided
in the middle by an ample rotun-
da; third story used for various
purposes, and two spacious halls
at either ends that on the north
was known as the Hall of tho
House of Delegates, and the ono
at, the south end as. the Senate
Chamber. A southern portico of
Ionic columns added much to tho
architectural beauties of the build
ing and afforded a pleasant re-
treat for members of the Legisla-
tufe desiring air and exercise. IT
was on the floor above the Hall
of the House of Delegates, inStho
northern end of the Capitol, that
the gallery and flooring of the
room occupied by the Supreme
Court of Appeals yielded to the
immense pressure upon their tim
bers and fell, entailing the awful
loss of life and terrible manning
of SO many of Richmond's promi-
nent citizens. This room is the
same occupied by the Confeder-
ate Senate during the irebeilion
Of the Southern States.

CARPENTER AND SUMNER.-In
the course of a scat'ling reply to
Summers speech setting forth that
Congress had the right to do about
anything it might please to do
within State, under the tyrant
plea of necessity, Senator Car
penter, of Wisconsin, said that
Summer, "with true puritanic pre-
meditation, was in the habit. of
nursing his WRATH and that Sum-
ner's propensity to reduce every
discussion, no matter what might
be it's subject, to the general head
of slavery-a field in which he
has great experience and won
many laurels-called to mind the
practice Of the. .quack who always
threw his patient into convulsions,
because that was q disease within
his healing power"

The Taxpayers. What fof7 For
signing bills and vetoing bills; or,
in other words, for doing his duty.
For instance: At the last session
a bill called the ''Ship Island
Canal BilP' was passed, levying
an enormous tax to construct a
canal of no manner of use to any
one save the contractors. The
Taxpayers are said to have paid
him $4,000 to veto it. The in
corporators then paid him $4,000
to secure his aid in the Legisla-
ture to pass it over his veto. and
thus he received pay twice on one
bill. I could extend this to an
indefinite length, but will merely
instance this as preliminary to a
more complete history of the CON-
.dition Of the South, which will
hereafter endeavor to lay before
your readers.

"A CURIOUS LEGEND.-When
Adam was far advanced in years
and at the point of death. he sent
his son to the angel Michael, who
kept the gates of paradise, to pay
for the oil of mercy, so that he
could be healed. The angel an
swered that it could not be until
ffty-aive hundred years, but he
gave Seth a branch of the tree of
which Adam had eaten, bidding
him plant it on Mount Lebanon,
and that when it bore fruit his
father should be healed. Seth
planted the branch on his fathers
grave; it took root and grew, and
from it were made Aaron's rod
and Moses staff With which he
struck the rock and sweetened the
waters of Marah. 1t also formed
the polo on which the brazen SER
pent was lifted, and the ark of
the testimony. At last it came
into the hands Of Solomon, who
used it in building his palace. but
it continually resisted the efforts
of the builders to adjust it. Now
it was too long, and then again
too short. The builders, being
angry, then threw it into a marsh.
so that it mi ght serve as a bridge.
The queen Of Sheba would not
walk upon it, and told Solomo on
that upon it should be suspended
the man through whose death the
kingdom should be destroyed.
Solomon then had it burned deep
n'the ground, where afterward
the poolof Bethesda was dug, and
from the virtues of this tree heal
ing properties were impaired to
the waters. After it had been
buried three hundred years it rose
to the surface of the water, and
the Jews took it and made it the
cross of our Saviour.-[F From the
May Number of Lippincott's Mag

A recent Paris writer asserts
that fully one half the inventive
genius of the, entire world is con-
tanned in the United States. Since
1880 over 100000 patents have
been issued from our Patent Office
while more than $4,000 applica-
tions have been rejected. In Eng
land and France, on the other
hand, Notwithstanding the re-
markable. genius of the French
for creating new designs in orna-
mental and decorative art,) the
number granted during the past
hundred years has been but about
$4,000 by each government.
