THE ORIGIN OF MAN.
CHAPTER I.

Twas lovely summer morning in the year
90o1 before Christ. The woods Of Senegam-
bla were clothed in their tairest costume; the
lovely birds We're chirping and singing their
morning lays. the sky was one vast sheet of
olue. Everything, in short was full of
sweetness and light, except the lovely Lady
Adellza de Chimpanzee. She was in the
dumps Moodily she rubbed her shoulder
against huge palm-tree, and while perform
ing that act heayed a vast sigh just ut that

constitutional authority which promises to
better the condition of the negroes in the
South, by encouraging them in industry, en-
tighten their minds, improving their morals,
and giving protection to all their Just rights
as freedmen. But the transfer of our political
inheritance to them would, in my opinion, be
an abandonment Of a duty which we owe
alike to the memory of our fathers and the
rights of our children.
The plan of putting the Southern States
wholly, and the General Government par
tally, into the hands of negroes, is proposed
at a time peculiarly unpropitious. The
foundations of society have been broken up
by civil war. Industry must be reorganiz9d,
justice re-estlblished, public credit main
tanned, and order brought out of confusion.
To accomplish these ends would require all
the wisdom and virtue OF the great men who
formed oar institutions originally. [ conf
IDENTIFY believe that their descendants will be
equal to the arduous task before them, but it
is worse than madness to expect that negroes
will perform it for US. Certainly we ought
not to ask their assistance until We despair Of
our own competency.
The great difference between the two races
in physical, mental and moral characteristics
will prevent an amalgamation or fusion of
them together in one homogeneous mass. If
the inferior obtains the ascendency over the
other, it will govern with reference only to its
own interest -for it will recognize no COM
mon interest-and create such a tyranny as
this continent has never yet witnessed. AL
ready the negroes are influenced by prom
ises Of coniscation and plumber.
They are taught to regard as an enemy

rights of his own race Ii this continues it

CHAPTER II.

The Duke de Chimpanzee was chief of a
very large tribe. 1t he had been in the show
business he would have made his everlasting
fortune. He had but one child, the Lady
Adeliza, and, as she would inherit the live
stock over which he ruled, many of the neigh
boring chiefs desired to marry her. Her
parents resolved, however, that she should be
the fountain head of the new race, to which all
their traditions taught them they were work
ing up. They determined that she should wed
the Prince d'Orang Outang The Duke pro-
posed the matter to the Prince.
All y said the Prince, as he adjusted his
eye-glass, "Is it nice?"
'.She is very beautiful" replied the
Duke
"AwH said the Prince, ''give it-aw-
stamps y
Il shall give her all Ethiopia replied the
Duke
Il will -aw-step down, and-aw- look ut
1t, murmured the Prince, careless. "By
surprise, you know"
This was agreed upon, and tie Duke de-
parted.
The Prince knew his worth; he was quite
white, and he was not troubled with the
slightest particle of cau!al appendaee, but
Ethiopia was big prize and he resolved to
win it.
One week after the Duke had offered his
daughter, the Prince started for Senegambia
with the intention OF looking at the fair face
of Lady Adeliza.

THE BOBOLINk.
By JOEL BENTON.

Once, upon a golden afternoon,
With radiant faces and hearts in tune,
Two fond lovers, in dreaming mood,
Threaded q rural solitude.
Wholly happy, they only knew
That the earth was bright and the sky was blue.
That light and beauty and JOY and song
Charmed the way as they passed along.
The air was fragrant with woodland scents
The squirrel frisked on the roadside fence
And lowering near them, "Chee, chez, ehinkf
Queried the curious bobolink. -.
Psusing and peering with sidelOng head,
As saucily questioning all they said;
While the ox-eye danced on its slender stem,
And all glad nature rejoiced with them.
Over the odorous fields were strown
whiting winrows Of grass new mown,
And rosy billows Of clover bloom
Surged in the sunshine and bresthed perfume.
Swinging low on a slender limb,
The sparrow sung bis wedding hymn,
And balancing on q blackberry brier,
The boboIink sung with his heart on fire
"chink Fyou rish 90 kiss her. dol
Do III do ~ You co,odrd, youi
Kiss kerl kiss her! Wks ,oiu sect
Only los fkree, noe three, zoe three"
Under gsrlands Of dropping vines,
Through dim vistas Of sweet -breathed pines,
Past wide meadow fields, lately moved,
Wandered the indolent country road.
The lovers followed il, listening still,
And, lettering slowly, as lovers will,
Entered q gray-roofed bridge that lay
Dusk and cool, in their pleasant way,
Under its arch a smooth, brown stream,
Silently glided with CLINT and CLEAN,
Shaded by graceful elms which spread,
Their verdurous canopy overhead A
The stream so narrow. the boughs so wide,
They met and mingled acrsss the tide,
Aldsrs loved it, and seemed to keep
Patient watch as it lay asleep,
Mirroring clearly the trees aud sky,
And the fitting form Of the drsgon-fy-
Save where the swift-winged swallows played
In and out in the sun and shade,
And darting and circling in merry chase,
Dipped and dimpled its clear, dark fas
Fluttering lightly from brink to brink
Followed the garrulous bobelink,
Rallying loudly with mirthful din,
The pair who fingered unseen within,
And when from the friendly bridge at last
Into the road beyond they passed,
Again beside them the tempter went,
Keeping the thread Of his argument
~Eiss her! kiss her! ekink a-ckee-chee!
PE not mention ig Don't mind me,
PH be sen,iRel-Ic cdR see
All around from the tall beech-tree"
But ah! they noted-nOr deemed it strange,
IN his rOllicking chorus a trifing change
"Ds q! do a!''-with might and maiR
Warbled the teli-tale-"DO 10 dgaiH!"

Shad In Pearl River,

United States Commissioner Anderson
arrived in jackson last night, from the
North with six fifty quart milk cans filed
with young shad for the Pearl river. For
several years past Mr.. Richard Richardson.
of Vicksburg, who is a great enthusiast on
fish culture, and Mr.. Archv McGehee, @. D.
Subway and James NJ. Mckee and Others. Of
this city, have been endeavoring to have
shad introduced in our home waters, and at
last the government has heard their request
and sent them along. The supply brought
in last night, numbers about 100, 900 little
minnows, not exceeding fve-eighths of an
inch in length, and they had just been
Matched out at the Point Pleasant station,
Delaware river, a few days before leaving
with them. The little fellows seemed to
enjoy their change of location and were as
active and sprightly when set adrift in the
Pearl this morning as they could be. They
were three days on the way and fresh
water properly tempered was supplied at
the different stations along the'route. THY
are a very delicate fish and have to be
handled with the utmost care.
Mr.. Anderson states that thew will be
from three to six inches in length by next
fall. when they will slowly make their way
to salt water and remain there until the
third year. when they will for the first time
ascend into fresh water ard lay their eggs.
As sbad have never been found in the gulf,
and not knowing whether it's waters are
to them. this effort at their propa-
CATION is, OF course, mere experiment.. but
MIR. Anderson knows of no reason wAy thew
should not do as well there AZ in the South
ern Atlantic, where they abound. When
full grown they are about eight inches in
length. and weigh ten to fifteen pounds

An observer of recent French review
writes: One thing is very noticeable, the
smallness of stature of ordinary soldiers
and of the whole people. and the lack of
good physical development about the
shoulders and chest. The contrast in this
respect between the soldiers one meets on
the streets, in the railway carriages. and
everywhere, and those seen il the came
casual manner in Germany, is very marked
The German 10 erect. full-chested, and often
short, yet makes the most Of what there ia

ing, narrow chested, and, comparatively
speaking, not strong. Noticeable excen-

who are picked men, and made a splendid
appearance. 1t ia said to be difficult if not
impossible to attain the same standard Of
discipline here as in Germany. There is a
much stronger feeling of independence and
selt-importsnce among the common soldiers,
and greater impotence of restraint and re-
proof The best energies of the present
government are being directed to the i'm
provement of this very essential, this all
important element or factor of their srmy's
efficiency. II is to be hoped that greater
attention will also be given to gymnastie
exercise, and the improvement of the
physique and bodily strength of the youths
who IN such immense numbers are annually
brought into the army.
