One Of the most interesting discover
les in Africa of the Portuguese explorer,
Major Lerpa Pinto, is the existence of a
white people, absolutely European in tint,
vet nowise of the Albino type, for their
hair was black and woody. He describes
them a. uglicr than the plainest negroes
and lower in civilization than any race met
with. Having rcceding forchcads, slant
ing eyes like the Chinese, prominent
check bones, and hanging lower lips, their
general appearance fails to do much credit
to the white man, whom they resemble.
The African whites. The Anthropophagl,
and the DwartS, have now all been found,
and it only remains to discover the people
with tails, the peculiar tribe that shade
themselves from the heat with their enor-
nous feet. and those remarkable beings
who "eat their parents and curse the sun, -
to have completely verified the widest
stories of Herodotus.

An honest Nevada teamster, named
Horace Tyler. was recently notified by a
special messenger that his father in Yer
mont was anxious for his return, and that
all the fathers riches, s2jO,oOO, were nj
his sons command, but ne would not con
sent TO return 10 the Green Mountain
State. He took the messenger 10 the
train. shook hands with him, and told him
he had come on a useless errand. He
then went back 10 town and resumed his
accustomed labor with his team. He re-
lated the incident 10 some friends, con
Guiding with the remark that he owned
that team, didn't owe much money, and
he reckoned he could make a living indie
pendent of anybody. He was met with
a storm of circumstances, arguments
and advice This staggered him. They
finally persuaded him to telegraph TO the
messenger to return. ON the next day hC
was coaXed into selling his team and going
East for the quarter Of million.

Tho Good Time Coming.
licktns, 4ih Sunday 3 p. NJ.

New YonK, January lS.-Thc year has opened
with greatly improved prospects for every one.
There is an excellent feeling among business
men, and even down &t Tie bottom of industry
where the great laboring class hcavcs and throbs
through The years, there is moro hope aud cheer
fulncss than has been known there since the
panic Of 1873 scattered seeds Of ruin MI over the
country. Now that we are down to hard pan in
prices, and resumption is an ACCOMPLISHED fact,
there is no reason III the world Why times
should not steadily grow better for the whole
community, elsewhere as well rs in Gotham
and, what's more to the point. they actually arc
potter already in every direction. There is
certainly marked difference between the CON
dition of affairs to day and that of Il year ago,
and the change is un1ucsl;onably Gn improve
ment. The rush Of failures is over, there is n
restoration of confidence in financial institu-
tIons rs well as i'll the credit Of the government,
industries that were long pros, ate are spring
ing into action again. there is less difficulty in
obtaining employment, values are almost as
steady as they were before the war, and every
body feels that the long storm is over and VIC
are in for n good spell of fnir weather oncc
more. Bankers brokers. merchants, manufac
turcrs and miscellaneous tradesmcn MI take
chcery view of the future, and seem To have tho
utmost confidence in an early return of pros
perity.
