why the Negro was Created
Black.

Communication ;u the New York World. |
That the negro was formed for the eli
mate of Africa the whole structure OF
his body unifes to prove. First, as pro
lection to the brain against the direct
rays of the sun. his hair is made to grow
short and curly. and he is furnished with
q skull of enormous thickness. In no
other being do we see the wisdom of the
Creator more clearly exhibited than in
the construction of the African The
soles of bis feet are overlaid with thick
layer of iat-a bad conductor Of heat
thereby enabling him to walk at his ease
over the burning sands, and forming for
him far better protection than any con
trivaDce the art of man could devise
And now you may ask why did God make
the African black? answer in order that
be may be able to keep cool in that torrid
climate. A black surface will radiate or
part with heat much more rapidly than
a white one, an experiment that any
one may try. Take two vessels that are
in every respect the same-two teapots,
for instance. let one of them be covered
over with lampblack, then fill them both
black one will be cold much sooner than
the bright one I believe all scientific
men agree that since the creation large
track of land stretching out from Africa
to New Holland has been submerged,
and is now covered by the Indian Ocean.
This would readily account for the negro
being an inhabitant of that country, and
such change must have very much mod
fled the climate of Australia l have no
doubt that in past ages the different ra
ces of men must have been far more
numerous than at the present. Those
great revolutions that raised the Alps
from the bed of the ocean, which sub
merged whole continents while they
brought others into existence. must have
swept away whole races of men, while
others were lost sight of, like the ten
tribes of Isreal, through amalgamatioD.
/ think it is plain that the African was
a distinct race from the beginning, and
that the only reason for forming him as
he is was simply that all the earth might
be inhabited.

A writer in .Scribner's Monthly uses
the following strong language, which will
be responded to by the women who have
suffered all over the land. OF the worst
foes that women has ever had to encoun
ter, wine stands at the head. The appe
tits for strong drink in man has spoiled
the lives of more women-ruined more
hopes for them, scattered more fortunes
for them. brought TO them more shame,
sorrow and hardship-thau any other
evil that lives. The country numbers
tens of thousands-uay, hundreds of
thousands-of women who are vidows
TO day, and sit in hopeless weeds because
their hus bands have been slain by strong
drink. There are hundreds of thousands
of homes scattered all over the land in
which women live lives of torture. go
ing through all the changes of suffering
that lie between the extremes of fear and
despair, because those whom they love.
love wine better than they do the women
they havesworn to love.
There are women by thousands who
dread to hear at the door the step that
once thrilled them with pleasure, because

influence of the seductive poison. There
are women groaning with pain, while we
write these words, from bruises and bru
talities inflicted by husbands made mad
by drink. There can be no exaggeration
in any statement made in regard to this
matter, because no human imagination
can create anything worse than the truth,
and no pen is capable of portraying the
truth. The sorrows and horrors of a
wife with drunken husband. or q moth
er with drunken son, are as near the
realization of hell as can be reached iu
this world, at least. The shame, the
indignation, the sorrow, the sense of dis
grace for herself and her children, the
unfrequeutly the beggary
the fear and the fact of violence, the
life long struggle and despair
of countless women with drunken hus-
bands. are enough to make all women
curse wine, and engage united to oppose
it everywhere as the worst enemy of
their sex.
