CATCHING BAss.-Mr. John Jack
son was walking along the river bank
one day. when he saw a piece of
string attached to peg stuck in the
ground he picked up the stick, of
which one end was in the water, and
hauled in three fine bass, which by
some means or other had strung
themselves through the gills on the
line. Jackson was so astonished By
this circumstance that he did not
know what 10 say, but he determined
to take the fish home and show them.
Before doing SO. however. he looked
about to see il anybody could give
him an explanation OF the affair, but
only saw q gentleman fishing quar-
ter of mile of, and not wishing to
interrupt him in his sport. picked up
the prize and walked home with it.
John Jackson had his fish for sup
per and pronounced them very fine.
but to this day he cannot explain
how three bass could possibly string
themselves around peg. and go
back in the water again. The gen.
tleman who had been fishing must
have made such another curious cap
ture and have lost it, for he was
heard later in the evening talking
very loud. and asking somebody.
profanely, what the something had
become of it.

The st. Louis Republican fears
that the present administration has
not had justice done it. It appears
that we are indebted to it for great
many blessings that We have un-
gratfully forgotten to give it credit
for. One of the Republican organs
in that city thus enumerates them:
meanwhile the government still
goes on. The mails arrive and de-
part with their accustomed regulars
ty. the taxes are collected. the pub
lie debt is being paid the fields are
growing verdant. with the promise OF
GOOD harvests, and the sun shines
upon contented and prosperous
people, who seem totally unconscious
of the dreadful tyranny by which
they are oppressed.
We have forgotten that the sun
shines, the fields grow verdant. and
the people pay their taxes by per-
mission of the Administration. Let

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:
II have pointed out over a hum
dred specific differences between the
bonal and nervous systems of the
white man and negro. Indeed, their
frames are alike in no particular.
There il no bone in the negro's body
that is relatively the same shape, size,
articulation. or chemically of the
same composition rs that of the
white man. The negro's bones con-
tain far greater proportion of cal
careous salts than those of the white
man. Even the negro's blood is
chemically very different fnid from
that which courses in the veins of
the white man. The whole physical
organization of negro differs quito
as much from the white mans as it
does from that of the chimpanzee-
that is. in his bones, muscles, nerves
and fibress the chiinpanzee has not
much farther to progress to become
a white man. This fact science in
exorably demonstrates"
"Climate has no more to, do with
the difference between the white roan
and the negro than it has with that
between the negro and chimpanzee,
or it has between the horse and the
ass, or the eagle and the owl Each
is a distinct and sererate creation.
The negro and the white man were
created as specifically different as the
owl and the eagle. They were de-
signed to fll different places in the
system of ature. The negro is no more
negro by accident or misfortune
than the owl is the kind of bird he i.
by accident or misfortune. The ne
gro is no more the white man s.
brother than the owl is the sister of
the eagle, or the ass the brother of
the horse. How stupendons, and
yet how simple. is the doctrine that
the Almighty Maker of the universe
has created different species of men
just as He has different species of
the lower animals, to Eli different
places and Offices in the grand ma
chinery of nature"
The same views were long ago ex-
pressed by eminent scientific men in
the Southern States of America, ard
some ten or twelve years ago were
boldly defended by a distinguished
member of the British Scientific As
sociation in London. The facts, il
| thev are facts are preuuaut with thaf
most important political and social
deductions-which are sufficiently
obvious.

TEE rAnmEn,s movEMEsr.

One of the mos. instructive inii-
cations of the drift of popular
thought and feeling in the West is
to be found in the farmers meeting
that are now taxing place in SO many
western States. 1t is new thing to
see farmers meet at all for the re-
dress of grievances. it shows thai
there is some wrong which they have
endured till they can endure it M
longer. They are patient and long
suffering class of citizens, the last To
move in favor ofaDything like reform;
but when they do move in concert
they are able to produce an effect.
They are moving now; they are form
ing oranges farmers clubs, and
other associations of various names,
but with common purpose. One
remarkable fsct is to be noted in all
their discussions and resolutions.
The Farmers are drifting into oppo-
sition to the policy and practice of
the Republican party. They cannot
avoid it; they do not aim at party
objects; they propose to have MOTH
ing to do with party politics if their
oranges and clubs, and in this, they
are wise. But the moment they be-
gin to discuss their grievances. they
see that the present governing
policy of the country is the fountain
head Of those grievances. The far
mers of Rock Island county, Illinois.
discover that the excessive railroad
charges on their grain are largely
the effect of excessive tariffs on rail-
road materials; the farmers of an
other county of that State denounce
the increased salary robbery by the
late Congress in terms of sturdy in
dignation; the farmers of Kansas
Justly demand that the salt they need
for their stock and the lumber they
need for their houses and fences
shall be admitted free of duty; and
they also hint strongly at an osl csi-
ton to the National bark; and other
meetings denounce the extravaganza
of the National Government at
Washington, the corruption and
venality of Congess, the subserviency
of the Government to wealthy and
powerful corporations, and the ex-
cessive taxation to which the people
are subjected ST. Louis Republican,.

work of love, and witness for Jesus,
and this is the most important part OF
the work OF God, and that which will
be remember when the final award
is made. Still, there is a work pc
culiarly demanded OF the educated
christian mind Of our country. II
the adversary is foiled on one side of
the field he flies 10 another. The
sublimity, the morality, nay, the in
spiration OF the scriptures, ~ almost
nndenied in our day; yet there is an
insidious method of attempting to
undermine the great citadel Of our
faith in the garb Of friendship. The
Bible is admired and yet made nuga-
tory by impioas criticism. The Bible
u admired and then the attempt is
made TO show that it does not harmo-
nize with the discoveries of science
To attacks Of this kind the educated
mind must form solid breast work.
Your course is to forward the king
dom of God and shield our precious
faith whenever attacked.
4tb. You are soon TO leave these
halls, TO bid adieu 10 honored instruct
ors and loved companions, who, on
their turn, will follow you. You are
to be here as pupils no longer; you
have finished your course; but Of the
high and holy course of living for
Christ you have yet made but be-
ginning. Through all the vicissitudes
of life follow that course; run with
patience The race that is set before
you. Then perhaps, when yonr out
ward man perishes, you may say, and
say truly, II have fought good fight,
have finished my course. Hence
forth there is laid up for me crown
of righteousness which the Lord, the
Righteous Judge shall give And
TO your young companions, let me
say while yonr ambition TO look
forward TO the day when you shall
take the place Of the class that leaves
you is high and good one, and We
hope you will pursue il with honest,
determined purpose till your efforts
are crowned with success, yet do not
forget TO begin the christian course.
Do not neglect TO pursue it first, for
il is the zone thing needful." The
