a strange Tradition.

The Seminole Indians have strange
tradition regarding the white mans ORR
gin and superiority. They say when
the Great Spirit made the earth he also
made three men, all of whom were fair
complexioned, and after making them
he led them to the margin of small
lake, and bade them leap in and wash.
One obeyed, and came out purer and
fairer than before; the second hesitated
a moment, during which time the water,
agitated by the first, had become mud.
died, and when he bathed he came out
copper.colored the third did not 60 in
until the water became black with mud,
and be came out of a black color.
Then the Great Spirit laid before them
three packages, and out OF pity for his
misfortune in color, he gave the black
man his first choice. He took hold of
each package, and, having felt the
weight, chose the heaviest; the copper
colored man chose the next heaviest,
leaving the white man the lightest.
When the packages were opened, the
first was foard to contain spades. hoes,
and all the implements of labor; the
second contained hunting, fishing and
warlike apparatus; the third gave the
white man pens, lux aad paper-the
engine OF the mind. the means Of mu-
tual mental Improvement, the social
link OF humanity. the foundation OF the
white mans superiority.
