The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1878-12-03

b@ There's q heated discussion be-
tween Moncure d. Conway, who quotes
Sir Henry Rawlinson and George Smith
on the one hand, and the Hon. Henry
Watterson on the other, as to whether
Adam was negro or white or ruddy
man. Mr. Conway says:
1T is now pretty African version Of
the fall of man that Adam and Eve were
negroes, and only when they had sinned
and heard the Creator were their faces
stricken with that pale hue which has
continued among the more sinful race. 1t
now appears from the earliest tablets on
the subject that there is more ground for
this tradition than it has hitherto been
credited with-at least as far as the color
of the first pair is concerned. The tab
let is in the British museum, brought by
the late George Smith. An inscription
marked X. 49," contains in it an ac-
count of the creation of man by the god
Mir-Ku mobile crown. ITO fear them
[the gods be made the man that breath
of life was in him. May he the god
Mir.Ku] be established, and may his will
not fail, in the mouth Of the dark races
which his hand has made.a This is the
earliest a,lusion 10 existence to the biblical
account Of creation, and it distinctly
points to the first race being dark. This
confirms what Sir Henry Rawlinson said
long ago, that Adam means dark race,
in distinction from "SarKu,' light race
and Geo. Smith thought that the account
(Gen. vi. Of the sons of God marrying
the daughters of men meant the Sarku
intermatrying with the Adam. 1t appears,
therefore, that Adam was negro"
The Hon. Henry Watterson quotes
Josephus and some other highly respec-
table gentlemen 10 prove that Adam was
of q ruddy color:

PROGRESS of the British.

A special despatch from Dakka, dated
Monday, seven o'clock in the morning,
to the Daily Telegraph says: Leaving
Ali Musjid in the charge of British
regiment, General Browne pushes on
the head men OF the Hill tribes coming
out on the route to congratulate him and
pay their respects-to Lundikaua, thir.
teen miles off, where the advance force
bivouacked. Major Cavagaari rode on
to Dakka, which he reached at seven
O'Clock Saturday evening, the Khan OF
Lalpoor meeting him to offer submis-
sion. At dawn Sunday morning the
British troops resumed their march, ar
irving in Dakka at noon, and finding
that the deserted Fort had been plunder-
ed by neighbnring tribes. The British
advance has now reached the frontier of
Afghanistan proper, DESTROYING by its
successes the Ameer's authority in the
independent territory, thirty miles in
width, from Jumrood to Dakka. The
flying Afghan army. in its efforts to es.
cape, has been plundered of everything,
the country having risen against it, re.
fusing it shelter. The news is confirmed
that Jelalabad has been evacuated, and
the garrison is in headlong flight toward
Cabul. Mahomed Shah Khan, chief of
Lalpoor and head OF the Mohmunds,
hitherto the Ameer's allies, has placed
himself in Major Cavagnaris hands
The nomad tribes, who were preparing
for flight, have all remained and are
bringing in supplies. The villagers GO
about their daily work with the utmost
uuconcern while our army is passing.

EF Every public spirited citizen Of
this county should try 70 be present at
the meeting to be held on next Saturday
(the 7th,) called for the purpose of ar
ranging for the future of our Agricultu-
raj Society.
Quite a number Of rlsns are under
discussion, and It is important to adopt
the one which shall appear to be most
feasible, and which viii give most gene
raj satisfaction. To do this every town.
ship in the county should be fairly rep.
resented.
The meeting will open at ten o'clock
in the morning SO as to give ample time
to discuss every measure brought before
it.
The assurance that we will have .
railrosd to this point before the next
Fair will warrant the Society in enlarging
its operations, and with the right kind of
start there need be no doubt about its
prosperity.
Therefore, gentlemen, laying aside all
manner Of excuses, put in an appearance
next Saturday morning at the Court
House.

Rheumatism is aDiSeaSe Of theBlood

The blood in this disease, is found to con-
tain an excess Of fbrin. VRaEr1NE acts by
converting the blood from its diseased con-
dition to q healthy circulation. VEaErIse
regulates the bowels which is very import
ant in this complaint. One bottle of Vegs-
tine will give relief; but, to effect perma-
nent cure, It must be taken regularly, and
may take several bottles, especially in cases
of long standing. vKaErrNs is sold by all
Druggists, Try It. and your verdict will be
the same as that of thousands before you,
who say, 81 never found so muth relief as
from the use of vBGETINR," which is com

"VEoErISE," says Boston physician, "has
no equal as 3 blood purifier. Hearing OF Its
many wonderful cures after all other remedies
had failed, visited the Laboratory, and con-
vinced myself of its genuine merit. 1t is
prepared from barks. roots, and herbs, each
of which is highly effective, and they are com.
pounded in such a manner as to produce as.

The High Rates Charged for Post
Office Money Orders.

The High Rates Charged for Post
Office Money Orders.
The fees or charges for money orders
are as follows:
On orders not exceeding SIS 100;
On orders over $l5 and not exceeding $50 15c;
On ordors over $50 and not exceeding $40 20c;
On orders over $40 and not exceeding $50 25c;
Referring to these charges, the Cincin-
natl Commercial very properly remarks
that they are extravagantly high and op-
posed 10 public policy. Such charges
are as absurd as the old letter rates. For
as sufficient reasons as cheap postage is
established, we should have cheap mon
ey order system. One-tenth OF the
present rates would eeem about right.
The banks draw drafts for @ mere tithe
of such extortionate charges; The post
Office committee of Congress- should take
this matter in hand at an early day in the
coming session. 81 ~

many Americans on board the ill.fated
ship, and several of them from Ohio
The causes OF the awful accident were
darkness and the grossest carelessness.
The crew gallantly saved themselves
every one-and left nearly three score
of passengers to perish in the remorse-
less waters. The collision was really a
criminal one, and while it's story is sick
ening it kindles righteous wrath at the
murderous negligence that made it pos
sible to begin with, and that after it hap
pened permitted 90 many souls of pas.
sengers to be lost, while the crew were
industriously taking care of themselves.

% The rumpus which the Republi-
can leaders in Congress propose to kick
up about the Solid South and Southern
outrages Is a very thin disguise. The
whole thing is simply . trick OF the
Money Power: It is an effort to excite
public indignation to the point OF again
sustaining bayonet rule in the South, in
order to carry elections there, and Sc
cure congressman and electoral votes in
the interest of National Banks and their
allies.
He who is deceived thereby is not
wise.
