Paying for IL ,;nOu Thing.

A circus wagon, bearing the sign
"lrained Animals" together with land.
scapc supposed to have been sltctchcd in
the interior of Africa, was hauled down to
blacksmith shop on Qriswold street.
Detroit, for repairs to the running gear.
The cage itself was closed and locked, and
a dozen boys soon gathered and wondered
what was inside. Pretty soon along came
a man who asked of tho blacksmilh
"What's In there, anyhowf"
ooh! nothing gnu" was the quiet reply.
The stranger walked around the cage
several times, shook his head like ono in
trouble and went his way. In an hour OF
80 he returned with an awful grin on his
face, chucklcd around for awhile, and
then said:

Where did Lo Como from.

The origin OF tho American Indians, who
are always theme of painful interest with
us, continues to be vafiously discussed by
anthropo'ogists. Recently German writer
has put forward one theory on the subject,
and an English writer has put forward an.
other and directly opposite theory. The
difference of opinion concerning our abor-
iginals among authors who have made
profound study Of races Is at once curious
and interesting. Blumenbach treats them
In his classfications as distinct variety Of
the human family; but, in the thrccfold
division of Dr., Latham, they arc ranked
among the Mongolde. Other writors on
race regard them as branch OF the great
Mongolian family, which, at distant per-
iod, found Its was from Asia to this cont.
nent, and remained here for centuries sep
arate from the rest Of mankind, passing,
meanwhile, through divers phases of bar
barlsm and civilization. Morton, our emf '
nent ethnologist, and his followers, Mott
and Glldden, claim for our native red men
an origin asedistinct as the flora and fauna
Of this continent. Prichard, whose views
are apt to differ from Mortons, find reason
to believe, on comparing the American
tribes together, that they must have formed
q separate department Of nations from the
earliest period Of the world The era Of
their existence as distinct and insulated
people must probably be dated back to the
time which separated into nations the IN
habitants Of tho Old World, and gave to
each it, Individuality and primitive lang.

A ThIlie Heron.

a writer says that lie has tame heron.
heron is very large bird with very large
wings, very long legs and very long neck.
IL lives along streams Of water or by tho
sea in marshy places, and cats all the flsl,
it can catch with it's sharp bill and sharper
eyes. This tame heron is funny fellow.
Ills master found him in tho nest when
young and raised him, until he is now full
grown. lie has small pond of water in
the corner Of tho yard, and his great de-
light is to fish in it. Of course, there arc
no fish in the pond but tho heron will make
believe there is, just as a cat will play with
reel Of cotton making believe that the
cotton is mouse. The heron spends most
of his time IN the pond. Hc will take q
small branch, or leaf, in his bill, toss it a
long ways into the water and then dash at
1t as though it were fish. At dusk in tho
evening be creeps around the quiet corners
of the garden, with his long neck stretched
out and legs bent, in search of mice. When
he secs mouse he pounccs down on it like
cat and cats it with great relish. Indeed,
that is his main fault--he eats too many
things, even to sparrows or other small
birds.

uagc. DIR. Robert Brown, the latest auth
GRITTY, attributes, in his "Raccs of Mankind, -
an Asiatic origin to our oboriginals. lie
says that the Western Indians not only per-
sonally resemble their nearest ncighbors-.
the Northeastern Asiatcs-but they rcassem-
bic them in language and traditions. The
EsqumauN on the American and the
lchucktchis OH the Asiatic side understand
one another perfectly. Modern anthropc-
logist, indeed, are disposed to think tnat
Japan, the Kurilcs, and neighboring regions,
may be regarded as the original home OF
the greater part of the native American
race. 1t is also admitted by them that be-
tween the tribes scattered from the Arctic
Sea to Cape Horn there is more uniformity
OF physical feature than is seen in any other
quarter of the globe. The weight OF cvid-
enco and authority is altogether in favor of
tho opinion that our so called indians arc a
branch Of the Mongolian family, and all ad-
dltlonal researches strengthen the opinion.
The tribes of both North and South America
are unqucs'ionably homogeneous, and, in
all likelihood, had their origin in Asia,
though they have been altered and modified
by thousands Of years of total separation
from the parent stock.

Senatorial "Reminiscences

Ex-senator D1cCrcary, Of Kentucky.
is great lover of tobacco in its natural
state, but as the price Of the weed was n
little too high for his ideas of luxury, he
always brought supply with him to Wash

One day in the Senate he put his hand in
the pockeJ Of his tswullow-taip, for the
scrap OF plug which was generally to be
found there, but it was missing. So he
called riding page ana told him to 90 to
his hotel in Georgetown (you can live in
Georgetown for ninety cents per day., and
bring piece of tobacco about two inches

Ex-senator Goldthwaitc, ofAlabama, was
noted for his Observation-Disclosures and he was
occasionally seen running about the senate
trying TO get out, and not being able to find
the door, lie would have tho page boys in
the Senate looking for his hat or cane, which
would be all the while firmly claspcd in his
hand. lie was much given to walking up
and down the lobby, plunged in deep
thought, often smoking q fragrant Havana,
and entirely oblivious Of ali about him.
Often some cheeky page of the senate
would walk up and ask the Senator for a
light. Mr.. Goldthwaito would mcchan-
cally hand over his cigar, tho boy would
take light, put the choice weed in his
precious mouth, and hand over his old
stump to the old gentleman, who would
continue his stroll in blissful ignorance. 1t
is related on good authority that. in one of
his tits Of abstraction, he walked into the
Senate elevator, dropped nickel into the
hole back: of the mirror, and calmly re-
qucsted to be let out at "lI' street.
