1t has always been mooted question
where and how the black race originated.
In one Of the Targums mention is made
of men being created black, white, and
red, but the most explicit statement is
contained on one of the recently discov-
cred Assyrian tablets containing the
creation legends. One OF these tablets
has the following lines: "May he estab-
lish and may his will not fail in the
mouth of the black race whom his hands
have made" On another tablet there is
hymn to the god Merodach, in which
occurs the following passage: "Among
mankind, even the men OF the black race,
the supporter of all life whose name is
proclaimed on EARTH" AS these tablets
contain legends appertaining to their
creation, our colored brethren are war
ranted in tracing themselves quite as
far back as any OF the rest Of us, what.
ever our color may be.

An Attica (Ind.) man, who. was
brought before the Police Court for
whipping and ill-treating his wife, was
fined $40, but he would not pay 1t, and
said he would die before he would work
on the streets. 30 the Marshal got a
very large cannon-ball, chained it to
his leg, and locked it around a lamp
post on a street-corner; after letting
him stand there all forenoon, he next
rolled store-box into the middle Of the
street and placed a chair on it, and the
man, ball ana all, on top of it, and let
him sit there all the afternoon, with a
placard with these words ON 1t: s'He
whipped his wife," The man took 1t
very coolly and Iphilosophically, and
made no answer to the jeers OF the boys
and the scorn of the people.

the benefit of the public, whose servant the

SEEKING INFORMATION.

| From the Virginia (Nev Chronicle
| Running over Ralph Waldo EmeTson's
new book recently, we came upon the fol-
| lowing passage:
Courage to ask questions; courage to ex-
pose our ignorance. Tue great gain is not to
shine, not to conquer your comprehension
you learn nothing bnt copceit--but to fluid a
companion who knows What you do not; to
tilt with him aud he oveFthrown, horse and
foot, with utter destruction of all your logic
and learning There is a defeat that is useful"
We resolved TO act upon the above at
once. We called in our landlord aud ask
ed him what the rent of our room wonld be
the coming month. He told us. That was
fair start. We had exposed our igno-
rance and mentally praised ourself for
courage. Then we proceeded to multiply
questions. We asked him where ne lived
before be came to Nevada. He informed
US that he was by birth near neighbor of
tho late respected Daniel Webster. That
increased our respect for him. Cor the
landlord, not for Webster. We then ask
ed him how much lumber was worth in the
Granite State. He answered promptly.
Promptpess is a characteristic of our land
lord. Then we got the price of brick in
New Hampshire, the value of mechanics
labor, the probable cost of bed, carpet and
washstand, and the rate of interest on
money in the land of the White Mountains.
We said to ourself, Emerson would be de-
lighted could he but hear this" At last
to any religious denomination. He in
formed us that he was baptized in mill
pond on the MerTimack, and had tried to
live becoming Christian and a close
communion Baptist. We then asked him
how he could'reconcile his conscience to |
charge us more rent for a room than il |
would cost to build house in New Hsmp. |
shire, and an interest on an investment |
here which is more per month than the |
State of New Hampshire permits lsndhol- |
ders to take by the year. He eyed us |
moment over his spectacles and then said
"That's what you are driving at, is it Let
me tell you that a man who mixes religion |
with rents in Virginia City will not last
long, and further, that if you do not like
the room there ,are plenty outside who
would. The rate Ispoke of is only for this
month next month it will be MORE" We
had followed Emerson's advice to the letter,
gained a good deal of information, but
we didn't feel any better. 1t
must be that Emerson is not 30 great man
as we thought he was.

HELPING FRIEND.-There are various ways,
direct and indirect, of helping q friend. These,
however, DO not often occur on the spur of the
moment to one upon whom greatness is sud-
denly thrust and the number of whose friends
Immediately attains a high figure. Hence,
persons in this fortunate position may not be
above taking hint from the lately published
experience of an American statesman who at
one time thought himself near enough to the
presidency to promise his friends offices. At
dinner, during which he was making this sort
of distribution, he noticed that one of the
guests, Beverly Tucker by name, had not asked
for an Office. Turning to this diffident person
the great man requested him to state what
position he desired. 81 have no wish for
Office" was the reply, and have but one re-
quest to make. 1t is simple. have O Christ
ian name. My mother baptized me Beverly.
Some call me Bev.' Now, when you are
are elected President, want you upon every
occasion ,Nsen we meet in public to say,
Hulloa, Bev, is that yOuf How are you, old
fellOwP want you TO slap me on the shoulder
and talk with me conidentially. If You will
always treat me like that when we meet will
ask no mOre."-PdU Mall Gazette.
