LADY Tho word "lady" has m intor-
esting derivation; it comes from two
Saxon words ''laf," loaf of bread, and
"aian," to give. In the old days, the
wealthy ladies gave bread to the poor at
regular times. The poor called them
''laf-dy," or bread-giver. This became
abbreviated to lady. There is a beauti-
full poetry in words, when it is known !;
and the study Of words is growing in
appreciation. Words embody history;
they are something moro than meaning
less symbols. How much higher our
appreciation Of the term s'lady" rises
when we know that it had its origin in,
an old charitable custom Of our English
anccstresses. Instead OF thinking of q
fashionable butterfly, we conceive the
kindly ministrations otuthe tfdeI woman
,as the t'bread .giyernto! the poor i,,And,
by this. process, ,tihls5a q Word 8"iadS" 9aths
general synonym for something 'gfaHdl9;;
frivolous grows on us MS the poetic
symbol Of womanly charity.

With g skull Of enormous thickness. In
no other being do we. SEQ tho wisdom Of
the Creator moro clearly exhibited than
in the construction OF the African. The
soles OF his feet are overlaid with u thick
thereby enabling him to walk ut his ease
over the burning sands, and forming for
him far better protection than any con-
trivance the art OF man could devise.
And, now. you may. ask why did God
make the African black? I answer, in
order that he may be able to keep cool
IN that torrid climate. A black surface
will radiate or part with heat more rapid
y than q wlite one-an experiment that
any one may try. Take two vessels that
are, i'll every respect, the snme-two
ten pots, for instance; let one of them be
covered over with lnmpblack; then fill
them both with boiling water, aud you
will find that the black one will be cold
much sooner than the bright one. 1
believe all scientific men agree TINT,
since the creation OF man, large trnct
of land, stretching out from Africn to
New Holland, has been submerged. aud
is now covered by the Indian Ocenn.
This would rendily account for the negro
being al inhabitnnt Of that country, und
such u change must have very much
modified the climate Of Australia. I
have no doubt that, in pnst uges, the

Those grent revolutions that raised the
Alps from the bed Of the ocean-which
submerged whole continents, while it
brought others into cxistence-must
hnve swept away whole rnces Of men,
while others were los. sight of. like the

AS represented in the Daily Globe. of
Saturday last, late speech OF Mr. S. S.
Cox, of this City, with reference to the
iron-clad oath, assumes the proportions
Of very learned md exhaustive treatise
upon the general subject of oaths and
oaths- -taking. On this question, MIR. Cox
holds somewhat advanced views. He is
not only in favor Of the abolition of the
oath referred to, but he would do away
with MI political and promissory onths
whatever. He ransacks his history,
sacred and profano, quotes Biblical,
classical. legal and literary authorities
for illustrGti tions Of tho abuses of oath.
taking. In fact, from tho earliest re-
corded times to the present meeting of
tho Nntional Assembly of France, this
clever Congressman has left nothing un-
touched that could enlivcn or illustrate
his theme. The structures OF Mr. Cox
on "the iiippant irreverences Of Young
America" are unqucstionably inst, and
his criticisms upon many Of the super
fnous onths prescribed by our statutes
arc deserving of serious attention.
