A White Race in Africa.

Major serpa Pinto, the Portuguese
traveller in Africa, who recently
turned up at Durham, has Seen
lectaring on his travels at Lisbon.
In his address, which is translated in
the Standard, he testified distinctly to
the existence of a white race in Cen
trail Africa, living in territory, "be.
tween the Cuchi and the Cubango."
He himself spoke to men of this race,
whom he describes as "whiter than
Caucassians," who call themselves
Cassequers, and are not bad people,
though totally uncivilized. They
have tufts of hair on their heads, like
short wool. They have eyes like the
Chinese, Dire powerful and live q no.
madic life. 1t is Of course possible
that an albino family should have
multiplied, but it is more probably
that q small party Of Yandals or
Goths were forced southwark, or tried
to explore southwark, and were COM
PEELED by circumstances to remain,
and, being separated from all around
them by their color, have survived
as a distinct tribe. An almost per.
fectly white tribe exists in Atlas, the
decendents, it issupposed, of Romans
who fled to the mountains for protec-
tion against the barbarians, and, as
far as yet known, climate haslittlein-
fluence on color. The Copts remain
white and the Tasmanians were quite
black, though they always lived in a
climate nearly identical with that of
Britain.

IIorld...s sIngular slrer.

One feature Of the 81. Johns River,
Florida, is something remarkably
strange, if not an actual puzzle to
photographers. II has been ascer-
tanned BY actual scientific survey,
that The surface Of the water at its
mouth is only three feet six inches
lower than what it is two hundred
and fifty miles above. In other
words, that the river has an average
fall Of less than the sixth of an inch
to the mile.
Another singular fact worthy of
consideration; it has a rse-tak-
ing Its many meanderings into ac-
couht-of between three and four
hundred miles. Yet its source is not
more than twelve miles from the
shores Of the same ocean into which
itempties itself. Some of its tribu-
taries, yet unexplored, may be found
to have their heads still nearer the
sea.
The current Of this streamis Of the
most sluggish kind, scarcely ever ex,
ceeding a mile to the hour, and often
so stagnant. that tho traveller. may
think himself sailing upon an inland
lake. sgreat breadth, insome places
quite a league, leads to this delusion;
which, indeed, is not altogether de-
fusion, since instead of a river, it
might be justly regarded as series
ofldkes, with slight difference Of ell
ovation, flowing into one another.
Some Of its more open expanses are
so characterized, having the names
OF lakes given them. The principle,
as also the most celebrated, is the ST..
George, one hundred and fifty miles
from its mouth. Farther up are
Lakes Enterprise, Monroe and Har.
ney, with many other that have been
lately placed upon the maps.

Employment.


The following was uttered by Dan
lei Webster, in speech in the SEN
ate Of the United States. II should
be an everlasting remembrance: Sir,
l say it is employment that makes
the people happy. Sir, this great
truth ought never to be forgotten; IL
ought to be placed upon the title
page of every book on political econ
omy intended for Americans. 1t
ought to be placed in every farmers
magazine and mechanics magazine.
1t should be proclaimed everywhere,
notwithstanding what we hear of the
usefulness-an | admit the high
usefulness of cheap food-notwith-
standing that the great truth should
be proclaimed everywhere, should be
made into a proverb, if it couldN
that where there is work for the
hands of men, there will be work
for their teeth. Where there is en-
ployment there will be bread And
in country like our own, above
all Others, will this truth hold good
"a country like ours, where, with
"a great deal ofssptrit and activity
among the masses, if they can find
employment, there is always great
willingness for labor. If they Gun
obtain fair compensation for their
labor, they will have good houses
good clothing-good food, and the
means Of educating their families;
and if they had good houses, and
good clothing, and good food, and
means Of educating their children
from their labor, that labor will be
cheerful, and they will be a content
ed and happy people.

Your Fare, Miss.

A young lady from the rural dis
tFicts lately entered a city railroad
car Pretty soon the conductor ap-
preached her and said:
"Your fare, miss"
She blushed and looked confused,
but said nothing. The conductor
was rather astonishcd at this, but
ventured to remark once more;
"Your fare, miss"
This time the pink on her cheek
decpencd to carnation as the rustic
beauty replied:
"Well, if I am good.lookin' you
hadn't oughter say it loud aforo
folks"
The confusion changed, and the
conductor, in his embarrassment,
took out from her trade dollar only a
halfGarc.

A Gate Story.

The Burlington Ha,vkeye says:
Serena, darling" he murmured; and
the old gate scarcely creaked as it
swung to and fro beneath her light
weight, and the silent stars looked
down with tenderer glances, and all
South Hill seemed 10 hold its breath

and The radiant bushes that kindled
over the pearly brow and cheeks,
softened the silent lovelight in her
lustrous eyes.

And she said, stiflly, that no gentle
man who could use such language in
the presence of ladies wasa acquain-
lance of hers, and she went into the
house. And he pushed the gate op.

claring that however lightly one

A Valuable Suggestion

1t is easy to arrest the course of the
streamlet among its native, hills But
when 1t has flowed downward into the
valley and been multiplied by a hundred
brooks, it is n difficult and sometimes
impossible task to arrest the mad tor
rent of waters. Thus it is with disease.
In its earliest stages, when the patient
notes the first symptoms of its presence
(often indicated only by II sense of Ian
guor, drowsiness, or n slight headache),
it is easy to arrest its progress and Sc
cure relief. But when, through care
lessness or neglect, it is allowed to de-
velop, complications are apt to set in,
and it is no easy task to arrest it. Our
grandmothers taught their daughters
that "a stitch in time saves nine." A
pill in time w not only nine, but oft
times an incalculable amount Of suffer-
ing as well. If the system be kept
thoroughly cleansed and strengthened,
it is almost invulnerable to disease.
When the first symptoms of disease APP
pear, two of DIR. Pierce's Purgative
Pellets, and a few doses of the Golden
Medical Discovery, to cleanse the blood
will, in almost every instance, arrest
the progress of disease and expel it
from the system. Those who have used
them are the loudest in their praise.
Their reputation is genuine, depending
upon their merits alone.

desirable to have a sectional division in
politics. It would not have been the
case, had not the south itself thrown
down the gauntlet. Georgia led of
with the ''solid'' idea, and the other
southern states followed. A solid
south, by the way, is about the only
solid thing characteristic of the politi-
clans down below. The south has pro-
ceeded Systematically, since reconstruc-
ton, on the principle that the north is
naturally the enemy of the south, and
it must be met by a united front of OPP
position, BY means most foul, the
movement in favor Of a solid south
gradually acquired complete ascenden-
cy south Of Mason and Dixon's line,
and in this condition that section con
fronts the people to-day. With that
record It assumes control of the nation
al legislature. But the signs of the times
plainly indicate that the self-same
record will insure defeat in 80 as it did
in VIC.
The millions OF loyal cltiZens VINO
stood by the government during the
war; the millions Of citizen soldiers
who fought the battles of the union,
and their descendants; the millions Of
citizens who have become such since
the war, believing in the saving sense
of the republican party; the millions of
citizens who hold strong convictions as
to honesty and progress; these united
millions who all have a sublime faith in
the good, safe government always in
sured by the republican party, will have
no doubt as to their action in 1880.
Events are rapidly shaping themselves,
SO that it will be a simple question of
'.for or against progress" ''for or
against the results of the war; '.for or
against the existence of a high and
beneficent civilization"
