How was Man Distributed on the..::Earh?

How was Man Distributed on the. Ear'h!
The question arises, how has the human
race been able to spread itself over the
whole surface of the globe? 1t Is the pro-
duct of different and independent origin in
the several continents, or have all men
snrune from common cradle, mother
region?" On this point students are d.
vided. Agassiz holding that men were Gre
ated. and Carl Voght that they were devel-
oped at different centers, Quatretages and
the theologians maintaining the UNITY OF
their origin. The fact is lett that man, the
same in all the essential characteristics OF
the species, has advanced INTO an the naoi
.tahle uarts of the globe, and that not re-
Gently and when provided with all the re-
sources HAT experience and inventive gen.
ms could put at his disposal, but when
still Young and ignorant. vt was then that,
weak and almost naked, having only just
got fire and few rude arms with which TO
defend itself and procure food, the human
race conquered the world and spread Itself
from within the Arctic circle to Terra del
Fuego, from the Samoyed country 10 van
Diemen's land, from the North Cape TO the
Cane OF Good Hope. 1t is this primltlve
exedus, as certain as it is inconceivable, &C
cepted by science as well as by dogma, that
we have to explain or at least to make
probable, and that in an age when 1t is only
after the most wonderful discoveries, by the
aid of the most powerful machinery fol
navigation, through the boldest and mosl
adventurous enterprises, that civilized mar
has been able to flatter himself that he ha'
at last gone as far as an infant man went II
an age that is so far removed from us as tc
battle all calculations.
We must insist on this point, for 1t hrlng
into light an obstacle which those WhC
h ave tried to trace out the connection be
tween widely.separated races. and to deter
mine the course that had been followed BY
tribes now separated by oceans and vas
expanses, have hitherto fonnd lnsurmount
able; for, if man is one--to which we ar
ready to agree-we must assign a single
point of departure for his migrations. IL
| these lhigrations man has gone whereve
he could, and, at every spot he has occu
pied and settled has acquired characters
Tics peculiar to the places. Hence the va
rieties of human races. Some OF these spot
seem to have been peculiarly favorable U

A Cleveland Joke.

t"Gath in New York Trtbune.l
John Tod, son of the war governor Of
Ohio, is considerable of wag. About
once week he has "stag" card party
at his house in Cleveland, and the same
circle of friends meet together, and prac-
tical Jokes are in order. Among these is
a young merchant who has made re-
spectacle fortune, and is wisely about
to retire at the age of forty, SO as to give
his time to reading, philosophy and
friends. On the card party night it was
the method Of this friend to prepare
himself for the abundant supper that
was always served. He took no dinner
on that day and but little lunch, and
therefore his good appetite was remarked
and incited these wags to a scheme. As
Cannon came to the party on partic-
ular evening the host remarked that his
cook had gone away and the steward
had met with an accident, and that there
was unfortunately nothing to eat but
bread and cheese. Brother Cannon, who
had large hollow place in his bread
basket, thereupon philosophically fell
to the bread and cheese, not observing
that the plate was pushed to him fre-
quently, and as the cards performed
their part game after game, he slowed
away about a pound Of cheese and the
same weight of crackers, staying his ap-
petite, though somewhat differently from
his preconceptions. Suddenly, when it
was observed that he would have nomore
cheese or crackers, the door of the din
ing room flew open and there was dis
closed quail on toast, sweet breads with
peas, pate de foie g,as, and the most
delicious things in the market. The
others, who had played off on the crack.
ers and cheese, raised q loud roar of
laughter as they walked in and over
whelmed the guest, already full, with
supplications to eat. a4-7

Paddy Burns Prisoner.


Ex-senator Thomas j. Creamer tells
a good story Of the palmy days when
the Hen. Paddy Burns was a deputy
sheriff. He was frequently detailed to
take convicted prisoners to Sing Sing

entrance, mild-mannered prisoner held
out q pair of small white hands cha ned
together with hand-cuffs. "Sheriff, !"

Breaking Up an Elopement.


A young fellow from the country,
whose manhood is a wreck and whose
finances are moro dilapidated, all from
dissipation, had won the affections of o
pretty country maiden, and insisted on
meeting her against stern fathers will.
A few nights ago they met and were ar
ranging an elopement. The spot they
had selected for their tryst was near an
old family burying- ground, and the hour
was near midnight. They had made no
definite plan, owing to the girls per-
verseness, and the fellow was suing
earnestly, when a groan was heard in
among the graves, and white form rose
up and advanced toward the couple,
Neither Of them could speak nor move.
The figure moved slowly forward, the
eyes seemingly blazing and the bones
clanking US it stepped. When within a
few feet of the lovers it spoke in ascarce-
ly articulate tone, telling the youth to
Begonel as his object was to destroy
the girls happiness after getting her
money" The young fellow slid on hls
knees, promising to leave, ii he was al
lowed. He was granted fen seconds to
get out OF sight, when the girl keeled
over in faint and the young man
started on run for home. Then the
old man threw down sheet on which
phosphorus had been rubbed, and some
old dead cow-bones he had picked up,
took his girl in his arms and carried her
into the house. The young fellow has
left the country and the girl is as quiet
and gentle as o dove. The old man il
happy and gives his daughter all the
presents and attention he can, but has
never told his part in the transaction
and she has never spoken her lovers
name, nor said word OF the terror that
drove him from her side,

An Old Story Aoain

An amusing story is told in the August
number Of the Modern Age of very abb
sent-minded member of the French
Institute, who was reading the news
papers in the Casino at Dippe the other
day. He was absorbed in his reading,
and with his left hand he unconsciousiy
pushed the files of newspapers on the
table. Each moment he pushed them
further from him. Beyond the papers
was an inkstand, which at last the NOV
ing papers pushed over the side of the
table. 1t fell on the white trousers of q
Paris banker, who WAS furious at the ac-
cident. The absent-minded man offered
his excuses, without appeasing the
bankers wrath, who shrieked that his
new pantaloons were ruined. "But,
sir, / will cheerfully pay for them. Be
good enough to give me yer;f7 card, and
/ will send the money to your hotel. y
To my hotel? Sir, I don't know you;
Turner County herald. (Hurley, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1883-08-23

I must instantly have the thirty francs
those pantaloons cost" The member
Of the Institute drew forth the thirty
francs and handed them to the banker.
Then he said: "Now that you have
been paid, I hope you have too much
OF the delicacy OF gentleman to remain
IN my pantaloons. You know that those
pantaloons are my property, and l insist
upon their immediate delivery to me.
You have no confidence in me. I have
none in you. My pantaloons!" In
yain the banker protested against such
haste. The crowd that had gathered
around the disputants said the member
of the Institute was right, and the bank
er, after sending for another pair of new
garments, surrendered the nk-stained
ones, amid the laughter of the bystanders

A Strange Bird Story.
[From the Kansas City Times. ]

A strange bird story is related by the
friends of Robert Potee, the gambler
who committed suicide here a few days
since. About six years ago the wife of
the dead man was given mocking bird,
which, in time. became very much at
tached to Mr.. Potee. When the news
of her husbands suicide reached Mrs.
Potee, at Atchison, it seemed to have
very much the same effect upon the
bird as it had upon her. The bird ap-
parently mourned with her. When she
prepared to leave Atchison the little fell
low screamedias if in pain, SO loud as
toibe heard a. block away. In Kansas
City the bird refused to eat and flew
from room to room at all hours until the
day Potse wss buried, then the bird
died, baying apparently grieved to death.
a taxidermist is preparing the bird to
be placed oyer the grave of Potee perch
ed upon an artificial tree, where it will
remain sileut sentinel over the dead.

The Detective Parrot.
fFrom tho phll.delph,a r1me..


z An exciting scene took place yesterday
at Henry Jackson'e shoe store, on
Columbia Avenue, which nearly resulted
in the arrest of innocent man. The
cause of the trouble was this: jackson
has al educated parrot, which he loves
dearly. Henry is generally cobblingin in
the back room, and the parrot has been
taught to scream when customers enter.
Mrs. Jackson had laid her pocket. book
on the counter and run upstairs to hush
the crying of her bouncing boy. Re.
membering where her pocketbook was
she returned and got it. Just then 8
customer came iD.f He knocked and
raped for, some time, but no one com

rot shrieked:

Jackson, hearing this, nearly broke
his neck in hurrying into the store, drop
ping his lap stone on his foot. He shout.
ed in the most violent manner:
What DO you mean, anyhow, by try.
ing to run off with my pocketbook 2 >
The customer, struck dumb with Henry'e
remark, Immediately whirled around
and asked what he meant.
I mean just what I say. You took

NOTHING good is ever effected without
perseverance,.
WE are never SO good as when we
possess joyful heart.
SPEND cent less than your income
and you will always be rich. Es

heart can never be wicked heart.
Do you wish that work should never
weary you Think that you are giving
pleasure to another.
To listen kindly is often an act of the
most delicate interior modification. and
helps us very much to speak kindly our.
selves. ....a,7
To accomplish duty is to- diffuse joy;
and as every moment of life holds duty,
it depends upon us to surround ourselves
with unceasing joys.
To know how to be occupied, and
never have to ask ones self, What am
going to do !? is the most useful science
for happiness and virtue.
AVAILABILITY is the sunshine of the soul,
which causes smiles to bloom on the lips,
and expands the heart as the rays of the
sun open the buds of the rose.
A GREAT deal of wit often makes us
wicked, cruel and unjust, it causes tor
menting jealousies, deceptions which
spoil our triumphs, and pride which is
never satisfied.
Those who are at peace with their
conscience are often led to an excessive
rigor. To overlook nothing in others is
often proof that we overlook great
deal in ourselves. s.,4 h

is no tritle in the matter of happiness; nor
a kindly smile added to suggestion, q
slight uneasiness spared another, nor

A SURE means Of overcoming dislike
which we entertain for anyone is to do
him a little kindness every day; and the
way to overcome a dislike which another
may feel toward us is to say some little
kind word of him every day.

Minnesota's Dueling Ground.


There is a curious state of things ex-
listing in certain portion OF the state,
which can be described rs follows: At
the session of the legislature in 1873
the name of Pembina County was chang
ed to Kittson County. In 1879 Kittson
County was divided and Marshall County
formed of the south half. The southern
boundary of the original county of Penn
bina was designated at point opposite
the mouth Of Turtle River, which empties
into the Red River, and thence east on
that line sixty-tiye miles. In the mean
time the map maker had been at work,
and placed the south boundary of Penn
bina County on the 154th parallel,
about mile and a half north of the
mouth of Turtle River, and when Mar
shall County was formed the legislature
followed the map-maker's lines, leaving
a strip Of territory a mile and q half wide
and sixty-fiye miles long between Mar
shall and Polk Counties which did not
belong to any county. To cure this de-
feet special law was enacted by the last
Legislature, permitting by the electors Of
Marshall to vote upon the question of
attaching this strip to that county, the
vote to be taken at q special election to
be held July 8, 1888. The election was
held at the specified time, and the vote
cast was 957 in favor to only 1 against
the annexation. A few days ago the re-
turns were forwarded to the secretary of
state, and the governor was about to
issne his proclamation announcing the
result and declaring that the strip afore-
said was annexed to Marshall County,
when it was discovered that the consti-
tuition required that all propositions to
change the boundary lines of county
must be submitted to vote of the peo-
pie affected thereby at general election.
The act Of last winter is therefore void
and the vote taken on the 9th inst, at
the special election, of no legal effect.
This leaves that strip of territory of one
and one-half by sixty-fve miles without
any government. 1t is neutral ground,
and there is no process in law by which
crime committed therein can be pun
ished. It is an admirable locality in
which to fight duel, and will remain for
two years more at least unless the gov
ernor calls an extra session of the legis-
lature to cure the difficulty.
