A Hunting Incident.

The Louisville Courier-Jounoi says -
" A young man named Harvey Wells, liy-
ing at Millwood Station, on the Il. and p.
railroad, went out on hunt recently and
succeeded IN getting up lively fox chase.
The fox ran into hollow log, and the dog
followed. Both dog and fox were now last
to the hunter; aud, after blowing his horn
aud searching the woods in vain, he went
home wondering what could have become Of
his faithful animal. Nine days afterward II
happened that the maater went to the hol-
low log, and, upon examining It closely,
found his dog wedged inside. IN ils
eagerness to catch the fox he had gone too
far and could not retreat, and also made
the fox prisoner Tho log was split open,
and, strange to say, both dog and fox we're
found to be still alive, though very much
emaciated aud weak The fox was per-
mitted to 90 in peace, and the dog was
kindly taken in the arms Of his master, who
taok him home and doctored him with
bread ap& Beas pptil he had regained his
usual strength

The National Death-Rats.


In recent article we showed that the
colored man was not progressing as rapidly
in numbers as the whites, and gave our
reasons for supposing that the disparity
between the ratio of increase Of the respec-
tive races would continue to grow greater.
Circumstances which are certainly abnor-
NAL and possibly only temporary in the
immediate condition Of the colored people
make it rather difficult to cast precise
horoscope for them from contemporary
data as embodied in the tables Of the ninth
census, but the facts which those tables
present to us are certainly very significant,
and certainly not aattering to the negroes
future. The relative death-rates Of the
whites and colored people, in comparison
with the respective aggregates of the two
races when they are largely together, pre-
sent the following figures:
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1873-06-21
Facts from Scripture Worth Knowing.

There were ten generations from Adam
to Noah, embracing period of 1856 years.
Lamech was ofthe ninth generation. He
was Noah's father and was 66 years old
When Adam died. Therefore Lamech could
communicate to his son Noah all that
Adam had communicated to him about
the creation and the fall. 1t was trans
mitted by Adam to Lamech, and by
Lamech to Noah.
There were ten generations from Noah
to Abraham, embracing period Of $50
years. Shem was Noah's son, and Shem
lived long enough to talk with Abraham
sixty years, and could, therefore, communi-
cate to him all that Lamech had told
Noah.
There were five generations from Abra-
hams grand son, and he lived long enough
to tell Amram, the father of Moses, all
that he had learned from his grand father
Abraham, Thus, Moses became well in
formed upon the history of the creation
and the fall by transmission of all the
details through chain Of only four per-
sons, and those four men were remarkable
for their truth and great wisdom.
These generations all descended from
Seth, the son Of Adam. There was another
line of eight generations who descended
from Cain, but were all cut off by the
food. In that line were some remarkable
men, to whom we owe much for our knowl-
edge of music and artifce in metals, viz /:
Jubal and Tubal Cain. No doubt the
results of their skill and inventions were
handed down through Noah and his sons
to succeeding generations.
Abraham had eight children-one by
Sarah, one by Hagar, aud six by Keturah
Ofthese six one was named INDIAN and it
was his descendants of Ishmael (another
SOM who sold Joseph to Potiphar. 1t
seems that the Midianites and Ishmaelites
were journeying together with caravan.
The longevity of mankind kept up well
near the food After this, il decreased
with every generation down to Joseph
who lived to be only ITO years From
that period to this, the age of man has
varied but little, though but few men
attain to a greater aye than three score and
ten.
The book Of Genesis embraces a period
of 1900 years of the worlds history,
which brings It down to the birth Of
Moses All the other Books of the Old
