A Man, Perhaps but not a Brother.

The leading naturalist OF the world,
Prof Agassiz, has been lecturing in San
Francisco, and is reported by the San
Francisco Scientific Press to have said:
~ have pointed out over a hundred
specific differences between the bonal aud
nervous system Of the white man and the
negro. Indeed, their frames are like
in no particular. There is no bone in
the negro's body which is relatively Of
the same shape, size. articulation, or
chemically Of the same composition as
that Of the white man. The negro's bones
contain far greater proportion Of calca-
reous salts than those OF the white man.
Even the negros blood Is chemically a
very different 1ud from that which cour-
ses in the veins Of the white man. The
whole physical organization Of the negro
differs quite as much from the white mans
as it does from that Of the chimpanxec-
that is, in his bones, muscles, nerves aud
fbres. the chimpanzee has not much far
thcr to progress to become 3 white man.
This fact science inexorably demonstrates
Climate has no more to do with the
difference between the white man and the
negro than il has with that between the
negro and the chimpanzee, or it has be-
tween the horse aud the ass. or the eagle
and tho owl. Each is distinct aud sepa-
rate creation. The negro and thu white
man were created as specifically difieren,
as tho owl and the eagle. They were de-
signed to Gil dfferen, places in the system
OF nature. The negro is no more a negro
by accident or misfortune than the owl is
the kind Of bird he is by accident or
misfortune. The negro is no more the
white mans brother than the owl is the
sister Of the eagle, or the ass the brother
Of the horse. How stupendous, aud yet
how simple. is the doctrine that the Al.
mighty maker Of the universe has created
different species OF men, just as He has
different species Of lower animals, to Gil
different places and Offices in the grand
machinery Of nature
The same views. remarks the Macon
T'sgaPh, were long ago expressed BY
eminent scieuti; meu in the southern
states Of America and some ten or twelve
years ago were boldly defended By l,.
distinguished member Of the Brdish
Scientific Association in Lpnlon The
facts, il they are facts, are pregnant with
the most important political aud social

and Black man Ne are not sure that

Whether i, is or not, the alleged difference
would be perfectly coasi.tcu; with the
other physical differences mentioned in

cisco paper

This poem was found by Confederate soldie
in deserted house On the Peninsula OF Virginia
and published in the Southern Amaranth, afiei

II this were all-0 IL this were ALL
That into each life some Faia must fall,
There were faiater sobs in the poets ryhme,
There were fewer wrecks on the shores OF time
But 'empes's of woe pass over the soul,
Since wiads Of anguish ws cannot control;
And shock after shock we are called 10 bear.
Till the lips are white with tue hearts DESPAIR.
The shores Of time with wrecks are strcwn,
Unto the ear comes every moan
Wrecks of hope tina, Sc, sail with glee,
Wrecks Of love sinking silently.
Many are hid from the human eve
Only God knowcth how deep they lie;
Only God heard when arose the cry,
Help me TO bear-O help me to die.
Into each life some rain must fall .

Yet there's a refuge from storm and blast

Much interest has been felt in the con-
test for the nomination for Governor in
Massachusetts,. General Butler, who,
as a political worker, probably has no
superior, has been putting forth his best
efforts for the nomination, and for 4
good while the prospects seemed to be
favorable for his success. His opponent.
Governor Washburn, is the present in
cumbent, but so vigorously did Buffers
friends push his claims that the delegates
to the Convention, as fast rs chosen,
were designated as Butler" and "anti-
Butler" The Convention met on We'd
nesday. however. Ex-Governor Bull
lock was made Permanent Chairman,
and addressed the Convention. The af-
ternoon was consumed in discussing the
preamble and resolutions offered by
Gen. Butler, directing that the delegate
named Green be debarred from voting
in the Convention, as he had declared
his intention not to vote for Gen. Butler
if nominated. The question was de-
bated with a good deal of spirit by Geo.
F. Hoar and W. ". Rice in opposition.
and Gen. Butler, Jno. l.. Swift, Gen.
Briggs and others in Buffers favor.
Gen. Butler made a great point by his
fealty to the party and declared that he
would not bolt if defeated. An incident
in the debate was a speech by Rev.
James Freeman Clarke, an anti-Butler
delegate, in which he took strong
grounds in favor of the right OF every
delegate to vote as he chose in the cleo
ton, regardless of the action of thu
Convention. He opposed the idea that
an election OF the Convention was bind
ing, and declared a bolt was always In
order. G. F. Hoar moved that the resO.
luton be referred to the committee on
credentials, which was adopted by a vote
of SCI to $50. Recess was then taken
until z 80 in the evening, when General
Butler took the floor, and said he was
satisfied that the majority of delegates
were in favor of the nomination of Gov
Washburn, and that he did not care to
delay the business of the Convention by
a resort to parliamentary tactics. He
declared anew his fealty to the party,
and said that he did not want to do any
thing to cause dissension in its ranks,
and he consequently withdrew his name,
and said it was no use to run independ-
ent.
At five minutes of o'clock in the even
ing, Gov. Washburn was renominated
by reclamation.

who are to be welcomed back to the
Republican ranks. In a card to the st.
Louis Globe he says: II am a Liberal
Republican and nothing else. Because
that is true, l am a Republican when

up, and the choice is between the Re:
publican and Democratic parties. DO

Rochester. Mo.

Rochester Is q small but fiOurishinI
town located about twenty eight years
ago on the east bank of the Platte river.
1t is situated near the center of Roches-
ter township, n of the largest, most
influential and prosperous townships in
Andrew county. 1t has a daily mail,
and numbers about three hundred and
fifty inhabitants, noted Tor their fearless
independence of character, hence it is
generally known as Independent
Province" They have but little use for
the doctrine of passivism, being strong
ly in favor of or against whatever may
come up for their consideration, and
advocating earnestly whatever pleasGs
them, and vehemently assailing men or
measures that they dislike.
Blount and Sianks are amonp the
oldest settlers of the place, and were
for many years partners in the mercan-
tile business. Shanks now occupies the
old stand, and Blount is one of the firm
of BlOunt & Brown. All of these are
regarded as safe and reliable business
men. Shanks is a notary public and
extensively engaged in a general con-
veyance business, and has the reputation
of getting up the neatest and best pa
pers of any man in the Northwest. N.
Ford deservingly ranks among the best,
most pleasing and influential merchants
of the place. NJ. Gordon Ruby and
Benz. Kirk, both polished scholars, are
engaged in the drug business. MIR.
Ruby is also postmaster.
l.. Rich, proprietor of the Indiana
House since 1865, has been feeding the
hungry, and is regarded as a model man
in this business. Samuel Dysart retires
from the Platte Valley House, and John
Bolton, who formerly kept it, will newly
equip and take charge of it, and will
doubtless do a first class business. The
superb grist and saw mill is owned and
run by Piper & CRYSTAL. When COM
pleted and in full operation, these mills
will be of great advantage to the town
and country. p. Sigrist makes and re-
pairs wagons, and is doing well. j.
Sigrist and l.. Baker make shoes and
boots. Gushing. TAYLOR and Hector
have three shops, and are the Tubal
Gains of the place. Willoughby is a
good painter and is well patronized. A
timer and harness maker could do well
here.
The Rochester Seminary" will open
on the Sth day of this month, under the
superintendent of Prof. G. b. Powers,
as principal, who is a man of energy,
excellent attainments and much eX
perience, and he will doubtless make
this institution a success and u public
blessing. The public school will be
under the control Of Miss Ella Ford, a
we'll educated and sensible teacher.

The enterprise and vim of St. Joseph
people is no myth. A wind storm last
week blew down the Exposition Build
ings, that had nearly approached COM
pletion. The next day a meeting was
called, and so promptly did the citizens
respond to the call tor money to rebuild
them that the work was vigorously COM
menced at once, and the word is that
everything will be in readiness at the
appointed time. Such energy may cost
their people heavily in the present, but
the credit gained, and the future bene-
fits to be derived by them will be in
proportion as they exert themselves
now, and they know it.
