Two Pictures.

A maiden, in a garden dreaming
Of fairy prince and halcyon days;
Her head, with sunny tresses cleaning,
Bowed down beneath dim trellised ways.
A row of suntlowers by paling,
wicket left upon the latch.
A summer house, with woodbine trailing,
And ivy creeping DER the thatch. ~.
A football On the garden gravel,
A quickening heart, whispered word;
A youth, burnt brown with foreign travel,
Come back to claim hope deferred.
o happy, happy time of Loves beginning,
Ere ever we can guess that storms are near
Sunlight glancing, buds unfolding, thrushes
Golden summer of the Soul and of the year
A garnet in a city byway,
pale sad woman all alone:
A weary wanderer on Lies highway,
Poor and forsaken and unknown.
What need to knit the little stocking,
Or strive again for daily bread?
Why set an empty cradle rocking?
The nesting has forever fed!
eyes, both are gone; perchance it's better"
She signs at length "'Tis better sop
Then bends to read a tattered letter,
Or turns to watch the falling snow.
All, bitter, bitter time of Sorrows waking,
Ere even we can dream that hope is near!
Snow is falling, flow'rs are fading, hearts arc
breaking,
Weary winter of the soul and of the year!

Attempts to Find the Origin of the
American Indians.

The origin of the American Indians,
who are always a theme of painful in
terest with us, continues to be variOusly
discussed by anthopologists. Recently
a German writer has put forward one
theory on the subject, and an. English
writer has put forward another and di-
rectly opposite theory. The difference
Of opinion concerning our aboriginals
among authors who have made pro-
found study of races is at once curious
and interesting. Blumenbach treats
them in his classifcations as distinct
variety of the human family; but, in
the three-fOld division of DR.. Latham,
they are ranked among the Mongolid9.
Other writer's on race regard them as
branch of the great Monaghan family,
which at distant period found its way
from Asia to this continent, and re-
manned here for centuries separate from
the rest of mankind, passing, mean
while, through divers phases of barbar-
ism and civilization. Morton, our emil
nent ethnologist, and his followers, Mott
and Gliddon, claim for our native red
men an origin as distinct as the flora
and fauna of this continent. Prichard,
whose views are apt to differ from Nor
tons, finds reason to believe, on COM
pairing the American tribes together,
that they must have formed a separate
department of nations from the earliest
period in 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 inhabitants of the Old World,
and gave to each its individuality and
primitive language. DR.. Robert Brown,
the latest authority, attributes, in his
" Races of Mankind" an Asiatic origin
to our aboriginals. He says that the
western Indians not only personally
resemble their nearest neighbors-the
northeastern Asiatics-but they resem-
BILE them in language and traditions.
The Esquimaux on the American and
Tchuktchis on the Asiatic side under
stand one another perfectly. Modern
anthropologists, indeed, are disposed to
think that Japan, the Kuriles, 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 between 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 evidence and authority is altogether
in favor of the opinion that our So called
Indians are branch of the Monaghan
family, and all additional researches
strengthen the opinion. The tribes of
both North and South America are un-
questionably homogeneous, and, in all
had their origin in Asia,
though they have been altered and mod
flied by thousands of years of total sep
aration from the parent stock.-Nuw

duced no variety has yet been able to sup

"dung-hill" chicken; and few people,
except poultry fanciers. who make it a
regular business, raise. blooded fowls.
A recent writer in Land and Home as
serted that people who raise fowls SOLE
ly for profit, would find it to their adj
vantags to raise some pure-blooded va
riety, because they can be sold at prices
that will more than compensate for the
extra trouble. Such has not been my
experience, nor that of many Of my
friends. But even if the assertion were
correct 1 doubt if pure-blooded fowls
would ever become profitable hens to
the practical farmers and others, who
raise fowls purely from economical mo-
tives, nor take the place of the ordinary
barn-yard" fowl. All the different
varieties possess the same good quality
to an unusual degree, but are fatally
wanting in others. The Leghorns are
great layers, but never set; some Of
the light weights, as the Games, have
very delicate flavor. A per-
son, by keeping several separ-
ate focks, might profit by these
different qualities to certain extent,
but with the majority of poultry raisers
this would not be practicable. Still an
other obstacle in the way of raising

she knew very little, and she met the
demands of the parish with so much
spirit and independence she incurred
the displeasure of nearly every person
of any consequence in it; and, though
she yielded to my commands and their
demands, and attended about half the
meetings at which the minister's wife

yention. The two are into each others
hair TO such an extent that 1t may be neces'
sary to drop both OF them and take up
one OF the two remaining Colonels-Col.
Aleck Campbell or Col. Dan johnson.
Col. Dan is firmly persuaded that this will
be the outcome Of the business. His

that OF Col. Joe Gallaher, who Is Of
the same opinion.
Nobody knows how the district stands
outside OF Ohio county. The delegates
are scattered among the candidates like
lost sheep oi the house of Israel. The
ground is all torn up in some Of the coun-
ties. There is a double-headed delegation
in Calhoun, for instance. There is Lewis
county also, where the party is getting
ready to come to the convention en-
masse. 1t is a mere question OF rail.
road transportation as to who gets
the l2 votes OF Lewis. There is Tyler
county also coming up for nobody in
particular-not even instructed to cast
complimentary vote for Col. Dan. The
Wood county delegation is supposed to be
very gregarious in It's preferences. John
Van Buren, once said that the Democratic
party was not corrupt-it was simply COM
merCial in it's instincts. The application
OF this remark Is that the Wood county
delegation Is section Of the Democratic
party. Marshall county is badly cut up
and scattered. They have voted like
an old smooth bore shot gun down
there. And so we might go on
throughout the district. It is very
ragged indeed. Nobody can count up
anything like 90 votes at this time, and
even II they could that would be no guar!
antee that they could count on them when
the convention meets, for, as we said, the
Wood county delegation is section OF
the party.
The state Of mind Of the two leading
candidates in view OF this ragged and
torn up condition Of the district can be
better imagined than described. We pre-
sumo that they eat less food than Tanner
and drink less-water. They are really
objects OF sympathy. We hope that the
going down OF the sun to-day will put an
and to their misery in some shape or
DILn.

The Sunday School and congregation OF
the First Presbyterian Church, yesterday
held picnic at Browns Island, being
carried thither on the steamer Abner
o'Neal, which made trips at and 10 A. NJ.
and 2P.M. 1t is estimated that fully 1000
persons were in attendance at this picnic.
All OF whom returned on the o'Neal about
Z p. NJ, making rather big load for
a steamer OF the carrying capacity OF the
0'Neal. In the evening a moonlight ex-
cursion was given on the 0'Neal by the
same management, but the boat only went
to the head Of the island, when she turn
and came home, arriving at the wharf
about II O'Clock.
Almost fatal accident was the most
prominent feature OF the excursion. An
old fisherman, Harvey Chapman, about 70
years Of age, was looking at his lines, and
not being noticed by any OF the crew the
boat sped on her way, until, when almost
ppon the skif in which Mr.. Chapman
was, Mr.. W. j.. hampton, OF the Herald,
from his position on the upper deck, saw
the dangerous condition OF the fisherman
aud shouted TO the pilot TO stop her."
This was repeated several times. when the
pilot signaled 10 "back" and some gentle-
man on the bow OF the steamer reached
over and caught Mr.. G. by the hand, thus
saving him from being drawn under the
boat.
