sion and mobility. The black man is child, and
like a child he is impressionable, tickle, easily
affected by good treatment. and capable Of self
devotion, but capable also of hatred in some
cases. as we'll as working out his revenge.
The people Of the black race. living in free
condition in the interior of Africa, demonstrate
by their habits and their mental status that they
can hardly get beyond the level Of tribe life; and,
on the other hand, such difficulty is experienced
in many colonies, in endeavoring 10 induce the
negroes, SO indispensable has the guardianship
of Europeans become to them, 10 maintain among
themselves the benefits Of civilization, that tho
inferioriiy Of their intelligence, compared with
| that Of the rest of mankind, is a fact not TO be
disputed.
But We fird the outlines Of this subject ex.
pand, as We proceed in its investigation, and
will occupy too much space in one issue. We shall
therefore defer further consideration Of it to

adopted to aid some soldiers in q strait:

Infantry, with four men, was employed
on some detail some twenty-five miles

gagged he was surprised by o body Of
some hundred or more mounted Indians,

lost no time in taking to the only avail
able shelter, an old buffalo wallow,
where, in q very uncomfortable. con-
strained position, they managed to pro-
tect their bodies and keep their enemies
at . distance for the day and night. Tho
next morning. however, their suiferings
for want OF food aud water became
rather serious. and something had to be

occasion; taking q piece OF his "

scribing their situation, secured 1t with
care to the neck OF a small, shaggy.

The Decimal system.

Il 10 no use rsgrstting that the deci-
NAL system was not adopted by all civ
ilized nations for their coins, weights
and measures. Gradually, however.
most Of them are working round to 1t.
Every opportunity should be taken to
bring about . perfect system; therefore,
Senator Jones' bill for coinage OF 20
cent pieces should become Q law. and
when once they are fairly In circulation.
coinage Of Ascent pieces should cease.
The proposal to coin l2H cent pieces
would be q r~strograde movement. The
GENITAL has replaced the hundred weight
In agricultural products. and to perfect
the system Of weights the ton should
consist Of ten csntals-1,0O pounds-a
name found for q smaller weight or
tenth Of . Genital. and the pound should
DO divided into ten ounces Articles
which are sold by number should be
reckoned by hundreds and tens instead
OF crosses and dozens. And 80 in other
measurements; ten pints should be =
gallon, ten inches should be o foot.
Everything should be divisible or multi
Piled BY ten. and all quarters and halves
should be abolished. II Is the want Of
. decimal system in counting that makes
the decimal system in coin soon incon.

Hex they Drink Beer In clnclnnati.
Iron the c,Deia,ati Enquirer. Dec. s,A.l

HaNN ~ ttAsI
We have the testimony Of q ~veracious
witness, who offers q dozen witnesses to
back up his statement, that a display OF
physical capacity without parallel was
made at the saloon on the northwest
corner Of Race and Longworth streets
last night. The story runs about as fol.
lows: A man about 30 years OF age, 5
feet 0 inches high, rather slender and
spare, came into the aforesaid saloon
and asked the ~barkespsr what he would
charge for all the beer he could drink in
ten ensuing minutes. "a dime" said
the barkeepsr. Done" answered the
customer. laying down ten cents. Tho
barksspsr put the money in the till, and
set before his gaunt and CHASTITY visaged
customer a half gallon cup. full to the
brim, Of his strongest beer. The amber
liquor flowed from the cup down the
mans throat without q gurglo to break
its current or to allow the drinker to
take breath. The same cup was flled
four times Afterward, once every two
minutes, and as often quaffed. At tho
clese Of the fifth drsught the man. with
two gallons and a half Of beer in him,
handed back his half-sallon cup to DO
filed again. This was too much for the
barkeeper. who, returning the ten cents
to his much moistened customer, eI.
| claimed: Here. take your money; /
make no moro bargains to fill Q walking
beer tank for ten cents" For q nine
minutes effort, this is one OF the most
prodigiously successful beer.drinking
feats that We have heard Of, and 1t Is all
the more wonderful from the fact that
the hero OF the cup was not q German.
