NJ. Victor Maignan's AUX Antilles"
The child OF coloreG parents of diff
eIant tints, such IT. juadrUon and mu-
lattO, or mulattO and black, will be
nearer the tint of the darker parent.
If both parents are of the same color,
the child will be shade darker, and,
singularly enough, the second child
will be darker than the first, the third
darker than the second, and so on to
the last. In other words, colored
community, if left to itself, is fatally
destined to return to the original AT
Tican black after limited number of
generations. Thus, while each new
alliance with an individual of pure
Caucasian blood brings the negro a
step nearer to the white standard, the
reverse is the case the moment the
Caucasian element is withheld, and
the color retrogrades from light to
dark.
y curious proof of this is found in OBJ
servations made during some time i'll
one of the islands. \ mulattO woman
had female child 10y a white man;
this young girl gave birth to quad
room by white father, and this re-
crossing with the white race was kept
up for six generations. An identical
process of recrOSSing- had been stimuli
taneously noticed in another planta-
ton. The children resulting from the
seventh crossing in both of these fam
lilies were of remarkable physical beau
ty; they had blonde hair; their COM
pIexion was of such transparent fair
ness that they might have been taken
for AlbinOs, but for the vigor aud
gracefulness of their limbs and their
brilliant intellect. The most eXpe-
rienccd eye could not have detected
in them the slightest indication of
their African origin. They intermar-
ried. Their children were dark>cOm-
plcNioned, and the children of their
children are very dark mulattoes.
This ineNOTable law of nature is Civ
en- as one of the principal reasons why
the CreOles refuse to intermarry with
families who have the faintcst tinge of
negro blood III their veins, though
their skins may be as 1air as that of
Europeans. The Creolcs wish their
posterity to remain what they them
selves are-whiteS.

hastened to gather about him the san
culinary Shelabarger, the Republican,
blood-spouter before the Electoral
Commission, and other heavy law

Sition as rather shaky. The Chicago

says: f"The case against Sherman

very conservative laWFeF, obtained a
large number Of supporters Oh the

dence enough to impeaPh Sherman.
McMahQn, Of Ohio, of the committee,
is credited with a much stronger state
ment. He said to a Dem0cIatic friend
to-day that there was evidence enough
already gathered TO warrant the state
ment that John Sherman will be in
side of a penitentiary within sixty

Marancy Hughes was married in
September last to a person who was
known as Samuel NJ. Pollard. Her
relatives opposed the match, and she
eloped and was married with their
knowledge, and a short time after
their marriage Pollard confessed to her
that he was a woman; that she had
trouble with relatives in the East; had
lost her property and assumed the dis
guise of a man for the reason that av-
enues for making money would be
closed to her as 4 woman. Pollard
never gave her any particular rea-
son for doing her this great wrong,
but ia believed 10 have been actuated
by a foolish pride in appearing in the
character of married man. The VIC
tim was ashamed to acknowledge that
she had been so imposed upon, AMI
shrunk from admitting the truth.
Pollard, without actually threatening
her life, repeatedly int;B,aGe,i that il
would re ,.ad iGT heF if she exposed

AS TO CIRCULATION

The Representatives of the Cincinnati Daily
Times having had the audacity to dispute the
large circulation of the Cincinnati DAILY STAR,
before the County Commissioners, when
the award of the contract for publishing
the delinquent personal tax list was about
TO be made to u.s. we propose to settle the question
of circulation before the public as fully as we did
before the Commissioners. We therefore propose
to the Daily Times to prove the following propo-
sitions:
yIRsT-That the DAILY STAR has published and
circulated more papers any one day during me
present year than the Daily Times has during the
whole six days OF any week in that time
sECOND-That the DAILY STAR circulates in
the City of Cincinnati regularly more than three
times as many papers the Daily Times.
THIRD-That the DAILY STAR circulates in
Covington Newport, Ludlow, West Covington
and Dayton, Ky.,-the cities on the opposite bank
of the Ohio-more than ten times as many
papers as the Daily Times.
FOURTH-That in the cities of Springfield, Ham
ilton and Piqua, Ohio; Lexington, Covington ana
Newport, Kentucky; Greensburg, Vincennes and
Lawrenceburg, Indiana-three representative clt-
les IN each of the three States tributary to Cincin
nati-the circulation Of the DAILY STAR is more
than fifteen times that of the Daily Times.
FIFTH-That the DAILY STAR has lists OF regu-
Var subscribers in three times as many places
Is the Daily Times, and that these lists OF the
DAILY STAR average three times as many
vhscribers as those OF the Daily Times.
We challenge the Daily Times to
q contradiction of these five PrOpO-
sitiOns, and offer to refer the matter
TO any fair person of their selection
and afford every means of arriving
at the truth, SO far as the circuia-
ton of the DAILY STAR is con-
cerNed.

THE BREWERS,
What They Think of the Exposition.

The recent action of the Board of Exposi-
ton Commissioners in refusing to accept
subscription of $4,000 from our brewery
men on the proviso that the latter would
be allowed to retail their product during
the Exposition, has created quite bitter
feeling among the brewers.
Mr.. George Moerlein, of Christ. Moer-
lein's brewery, in an interview with a re-
porter stated that the firm had originally
been willing to subscribe $1,000, without
any conditions being attached to their offer.
But now, as the Commissioners had so alb
ruptly refused 10 take their money on the
condition stated above, they would not
subscribe a single cent to the fund. He
thought that if they, the brewers, had no
right to exhibit their products, the same as
any other mandatory, it was high time to
Withdraw from all such institutions as
Expositions. The brewers simply demand
ed right to make an exhibition of the best
beer brewed in the world. The receipts Of
their sales would have been given to the
Commissioners, and the sum netted would
have at least been over $S,000 By the ac-
ton of the Commission, the latter will now
lose nearly $4,000.
Mr.. Henry Muhlhauser, of Windisch.
Muhlhauser Il Bro, was of the same mind.
he Sdlu LlldC tne brewers ulu HOI lHItlu w
claim a prominent place in the buildings.
They would have been satisfied with room
in the second story or even in the base
ment. They would have left it to the Ex-
position Board to appoint man to watch
the sale of beer and to look to it that the
receipts would have gone into the Exposi-
ton Golfers. He and his partners would
withdraw their subscription on account of
the petty meanness of the Board.
Mr.. John Kaufman, the Vine-street
brewer, stated that he was going to take
back his subscription. If he couldn't ex-
hibit his goods the Commissioners could not
expect to get any money from him. By
tapping beer in the Buildings he did not in
tend to gain any profits All the receipts
would have been donated to the Exposition
Fund. He wanted equal rights with other
or else keep out of the Exposi-
ton.
Schaller & Gerke and a number of other
brewers stated that they would also with
draw their subscription unless the action of
the Commissioners was rescinded. The feel
ing among them is a bitter one.

HEALTH OF THE KING OF ITALY-People
about the Quirinal, writes Rome CORE
spondent, are looking very grave, I learn,
and shake their heads ominously concern
ing the health of the Italian King. A
Roman friend writes me: "He looks exceed
ingly pale, and. to my eye, attenuated His
chest is affected, aid in order to keep up, he
lives according to very strict dietary. The
visits of the doctors are too frequent to he
reassurng. But Humbert will work. He
devotes portion of his time daily to the
investigation of the financial affairs of his
father who has left troublesome crop of
unpleasant monetary claims behind him.
A special secretary tends to his business.
Knowing very well that Humber is averSe
to any public scandals, the Roman trades
men are exorbitant in their claims for lux
uries supplied to the ladies of the late
Kings establishment. The ladies refuse to
pay, on the plea that the deb belong to
the dead King; and, in some instances, the
bills have only been settled when iniriaiory
proceedings have been commenced in the
civil courts" Considering the affairs of no
less than eighteen domestic establishments
have to be settled, Umberto morning occu-
patton can not be pleasant.
