ANATIvE WHITE RACE IN AFRICA
Major Pinto, a Portuguese explorer of
South Africa, who has recently returned,
claims to have discovered an unknown
race ofwhite men in that country. In q
lecture he said: ~ here made one of the
most curious discoveries of my journey.
1 one day noticed that one of the carriers
was white man. He belonged to race
entirely unknown up to the present day.
A great white people exists in South AT
rica. The name is Cassequere; they
are whittier than the Caucasians, and in
place of hair have their heads covered
with small tufts of very short WOOL
Their cheek-bones are prominent, their
eyes like those of the Chinese. The
men are extremely robust. When they
discharge an arrow at an elephant the
shaft is completely buried in the ami
mails body. They live on roots and the
chase, and it is only when these sup
plies fail them that they hold any rela-
tions with the neighboring races, the
Ambuelas, from whom they obtain food
in exchange for ivory. The Cassequeres
are an entirely nomadic race, and never
sleep two nights in the same encamp-
ment. They are the only people in
Africa that do not cook their food in
pots. They wander about in groups Of
from four to six families, over all the
territory lying between the Cuchi and
the Cubango. It would seem that from
a crossing of the Cassequeres with the
negroes of other races, sprang these
mulattoes of the south whom the Eng
lish call bushmen. The latter are, how
ever, better off than the Cassequeres,
and use pots in cooking their food, while
their dispositions are good, though quite
opposed to civilization.

AN OLD SOLDIER FOUND IN A MAR
KET GARDEN.-A curious (supposedl
relic of the war has been found near the
city which affords not little interest to
those who have seen it. 1t is an old ter
rapin which was captured day or two
ago upon the farm garden of Mr.. Lewis,
the Governors gardener, few miles
northwest from Richmond on the Brook
Road. The terrapin appears to be very
old. The right front side of the upper
shell has been broken, apparently num-
ber of years ago, and the edges have
since grown or rubbed very smooth. On
his back there are one or two scars
which look rs if they had been made by
an axe. But the most curious fact about
this stranger remains to be told. Upon
the under-shell number of letters and
figures have been cut, and are now much
disfgured by time. Some of them, how
ever, are very legible. The letters Go.
c., 39d r. l." are very plain. On the
same line with the "R. l." are two let
tiers which seem to be "N. c." The &c"
is quite distinct, but the other letter
looks almost as much like an "M" as an
an" On the line below are the word
and figures cts, 1S62."-Richmond Dis

How THE SEA IS SALTED.-Many peo-
pie imagine that ocean water is naturally
salt, and will be surprised to know that
the salt comes from the rocks, and is
washed into the the sea. The sea de-
pends on the disintegration of rocks on
land for its saltness. 1t does not origi-
nate in oceans and seas. Rains wash it
and hold it in solution as particles are
liberated by violence, decomposition, and
gradual action of many natural forces.
All streamlets and rivers, therefore, are
constantly transporting salt to the sea. If
there is more than can be held in solu-
ton, then it accumulates in masses at
very deep points, which in therevolution
to which matter is subject, may again be
a stratum of salt somewhere remote from
where the mass was formed. Thus the
salt mines of Portugal, and the vast hori-
sontal bed of pure salt in Texas, as well
as that mountain of rock-salt in Domingo,
was collected at the bottom of ancient
seas, which are now dry land, remote
from water. There are places in Africa
where the process of disintegration of
salt from water is regularly going on,
but there is not water-power enough to
force it onward to the sea. Hence, the
particles are spread abroad and mixed up
with soil.

iel Ludlow, Esq, of Westchester, who
who would make the heavicst crop Of In.
dian corn on three acres. To avoid all
doubt as to measurement, a precaution was
taken which 1 recommend to all agricul-
tural societies, to be enforced against
competitors. Mr.. Stevens sent man to
measure Ludlow's land, and Ludlow sent
one to measure Stevens. Stevens won,
making on three acres 954 bushels and 6
quarts, being one hundred and eighteen
bushels and t,co quarts to the acre ! Mr..
Ludlow 9S bushels and quarts.
81 send you the process for publica-
ton if you will provide that no more
premiums will be offered for heavy crops,
except on condition that the crop shall
exceed these, made fifty, (now eighty
two) years ago, and that it be done by
the instrumentality of some new and
economical and profitable implement or
mode of culture, that shall be pronounced
q discovery IN agricultural economy, and
worthy of being followed as a new and
profitable application of labor and capi-
tai. For, after all, that's the philosophy
of the case, and the only view or condi-
tions on which such premiums should
now be awarded, after $4,000 has been
bestowed for the same old things; and
the same may be said of many others
besides heavy crops on small patches, if
you overhaul the old standing lists"
We fancy no useful purpose can be
served by publishing the details of the
processes by which these remarkable
crops were made, but it may serve use
full purpose to state that Mr.. Ludlow ap-
piled 200 horse-cart loads of street dirt,
and Mr.. Stevens plowed in 700 loads Of
street manure!
Is it not unwise to encourage such cx-
travagant farming as this? 1t reminds
one of the turnips that Horace Greeley
produced at cost of two dollars each.

PROJECT OF A MARINE RAILWAY
Across THE IsTuMUs.-Captain j. B.
Eads is in Washington. Having opened
the Mississippi River to commerce, he is
now turning his attention to another
great engineering feat-the establish
ment of interoceanic communication
across the Isthmus of Darien. This he
proposes to do by means of his marine
railway. His plans for this railway have
not been exactly completed. He has,
however, gone far enough to demonstrate,
to his own satisfaction at least, the entire
feasibility of the marine railway. He
will submit his plans to the govern
ment at an early day, and expects to
secure national cooperation in his work.
Captain Eads purposes to take ship
out of the water on one side of the 18TH
mus and transport her across in less than
twenty-four hours, without injury from
straining or otherwise, the cargo to re-
main intact The ship after being
taken out of the water, is to be placed
in cradle. The railroad tracks will be
perfectly straight, and have no change of
grade in them. He would avoid curves
by turntables and change of direction
when necessary. Turntables that can be
elevated at one end and depressed at the
other are to overcome the grade. He
does not expect grade anywhere of
over fifty feet to the mile. His railway
would cost one quarter as much as
canal, he estimates, and could be finished
in one quarter the time. He says he has
talked with capitalists and others in
New York and elsewhere about this ma
rine railway. Men acquainted with work
of this character are perfectly satisfied as
to its entire feasibility, and he states that
capitalists can be found willing to assure
its completion Washington Star.

HE THOUGHT IT WAS HER HAND
He SQUozE.-An Ohio merchant tells
the following old story about himself
Where he lives is secret except that it
is not a mile and half from Ken ia
Court House:
When l was about seventeen years old
I made trip to Cleveland, Ohio, in the
old fashioned stage coach, with its spank
ing four horses. At Mount Vernon,
about 4 p. m, a pretty girl came aboard.
She sat on the back seat, next to an ell
derly, farmer like looking man. 1 was
on the middle seat Immediately in front
of her. I soon struck up pleasant chat
with her. She was a charming talker,
and almost as brilliant as she was pretty.
1t looked as though we were mutually
pleased. When dark came I concluded
there would be no harm in giving her
hand gentle squeeze by way Of feeler.
I reached behind and got hold of the
hand. was little startled at the
hardness but it returned q vice like pres
sure. squose again and it squose back
A sense of disappointment would steal
over me when in my mind 1 would con-
trast the seeming toughness of her hand
with the tenderness and sweetness of her
voice. The contact did not seem to ar
terealize my blood quite up to the point
of exhileration. At last she reached her
destination and left the coach. After
we had started again the old rooster
who sat beside her addressed me thusly j:
"Young man, do you feel all right? g?
You had a nice time tugging at my old
paw for the last five miles; hope you en-
joyed it."
The two young ladies on the front seat
giggled all the way to the next station,
and the gentlemen passengers didn't for
get to smile when l looked up. l have
been more successful since in that line.

GREW TIE Woop FOR HIS COFFIN.

GREW TIE WooD FOR HIS COFFIN
A remarkable story is told of the late
Capt. Stone, of NIoundsville, who was
buried at the beginning of this week.
Thirty-fve years ago he came from New
Orleans to Moundsville to make his home,
and brought with him two seeds of n
mahogany-like tree that flourished near
his former home. These he planted, re.
marking to his family that he would
have his coffin made from the tree. One
of the seeds died, but the other flourish
ed and grew. From a shoot it became a
sapling, and finally, in the course OF
thirty years, grew to a fine tree. About
eight months ago a severe wind storm
passed over Moundsville, and Captain
Stone found his tree laid PROSTATE. Hc
had it dried, sawed into lumber and sent
to pittsburg firm. In short time it
was returned to him in the form of a
beautiful coffin, and for four months it
was preserved in his residence. About
two weeks ago he contracted sickness
that eliminated in his death, and his de-
sire being fulfilled, he was laid away in
the coffin he planted thirty-fve years
ago. Wheeling w M.) Register, Aug. 6.

Now that the season for agricultural

subject which gives title to this article
may be opportune. We confess that we
do not see any good reason for awarding
premiums, as is the custom, to the heav-
lest OK, the fattest hog or the largest crop

ducing such results. Would it not be

In accordance with the directions in

Political CeTtUiuties

Il
To the Editor of the Globe. . 49,
You, Mr.. Editor, are entitled to wear the
belt as a political prophet. The honor is
yours. do not presume to contest with
you the distinction. There are, however, to
me political certainties in the future, and I
wish to record them now and here.
If Robinson is elected governor of New
York, and Ewing governor of Ohio, the
next Presidential ticket will be, according to
all probabilities:
For President-SamuelJ j. Tilden. a2
For Vice. President-Thomas Ewing.
If Robinson is defeated, and Ewing elect
ed, Ewing will be nominated for President.
If Robinson is elected and Ewing defeated,
Ewing may still have the second place. If
both Robinsnn and Ewing are defeated, both
Tilden and Ewin will disappear from
the Aresidential con test. Tilden's only
chance depends on Robinson, and there is
no doubt of one thing, and that is, Tilden
is losing ground at the South and West
every day. If he is the shrewd manager
people say he is, he is now using his forces
to his own disadvantage if not to self-de-
struction. The wild radical element of the
country is re-acting upon itself, and the
cool, calm conservative judgment of the
best citizenship is turning for relief to such
men as Edmunds on the one side and Judge
Thurman Oh the other, as possessing the
character to receive the highest honor of the
nation. q. s.

PILLSBURY,s AMBIEION.

.
Senator Bill Window was in town yester-
day comforting with the Governor Of the
Minneapolis Millers' Association. He found
the Governor of the Millers' Association at
the capitol, assuming to act as Governor of
the State also. More than this, he found
John 8. Pillsbury anxious to be his COM
rade in the Senate. That is the bee in the
third term bonnet of Mr.. Pillsbury. It was
the intention of the Republican ring to ran
Ramsey for the Senate against Mcmillan
until his supposed appointment as Secretary
Of War. Then the ST.. Paul and Min
neapolis ring turned to Pillsbury, and
he took the third term track
to head off Mcmillan, Washburn,2 Davis, or
any other aspirants for the Senate. If
Pillsbury Is defeated this fall it means q
clear field for all candidates for the United
States Senate next year. If he is elected, he
will endeavor to buy his way into the Senate,
and with the prestige Of having made the
odious third term canvass, he is likely to be-
come one of the most formidable candidates
named. The Davis men, the Washburn
men, the Mcmillan men who vote for Pills
bury, vote against, their candidate for the
Senate. ~ E,Ggfia tzEevrsr-. s-l5.. ~,

Another Accident on the Short Line Rail-
: s.. road. ..
The short line railroad or thereabouts
seems to be a fruitful neighborhood for &C.
cidents of serious or fatal nature. Yester-
day another accident occurred at the foot of
Chestnut street, John Norman, little six
year old boy, being the sufferer. The little
fellow had accompanied his father,
who resides in the Sixth ward,
over to the Milwaukee freight depot
to get q load of lime. While the
father was engaged in loading his wagon,
the child roamed around among the cars on
the switch tracks. AL of sudden scream
notified all that some one had been hurt,
which was too fully verified in finding John
Norman half unconscious from pain caused
by having his hands horribly 1nutilated
fhe little fellow was carried to DIR.
Mattock's office, and it was found
necessary to Immediately amputate
the left hand at the wrist joint; the right
hand, though badly crushed will be savod.
The little fellow can give no accurate ac-
count of how the accident befel him. He
was playing among the cars and a switch
engine run in a car on the switch, which,
humping against others on the track, caught
the child's hands between the bumpers, or
one of the wheels ran over his hands. DR..
Mattocks thinks the latter the most likely,
as the little fellows hands were 80 horribly
crushed.

The Cathedral Concert.

good audience greeted Rosa D. Erina at
the Cathedral last evening, the occasion
being grand sacred concert given by her,
assisted by the choir of the Cathedral. To
say that all who attsnds6 we're we'll pleased,
but half expresses their delight, for q
more enjoyable concert has seldom been
given in st. Paul. The programme en-
braced four organ selections by the lady and
four solos, in all of which she acquitted her
self With rare ability. AS an organist she
has few superiors in the country. Her
touch is strong-almost masculine
while the tenderest strains
are breathed forth under hsr manipulations
with delicious melody. She fairly made the
noble instrument speak with an expressive-
ness almost equal to the best trained human
voice. Her solo numbers were artistic and
finished productions. Though her voice is
not phenomenal one, it is clear, rich and
melodious. In 'tAva Maria she held her
audience spell-bound, while in "Graitias
Agimus Ti5i''' and CANCELS Ever Bright and
Fair" she displayed the marvellous compass
and thorough schooling of her voice
to perfection. go Salutaris,'' by Prof.
Maenner, was gem of sacred song, and the
professor was never in better voice. The
"Benedictus Qui Veniti,'' by Prof Maenner,
Mr.. Draper and Miss Monahan, was rem
dered with much feeling and was greatly en-
joyed. The choral numbers were less per-
feet as to time than we had hoped. The
choir, containing some excellent voices, is
capable of much better rendering of the
selections.
We trust that our citizens will have another
opportunity of listening to Miss D'Erina,
for there are few lyric artists who please
their audiences more than she. She would
attract large audience at the opera house..
