Lord Tollemachc, who has just COM

the model English landlord. He pos

land in Cheshire, and during the whole
of the agricultural depression, from
1877 to 1885, he had neither a vacant
farm nor a tenant in arrears. His
estate in Cheshire has, during his life
time, been cut up into farms averaging
two hundred acres in extent. his lord

with sons and daughters could do ex-

his estate into farms of that size he

The Problem Attending Negroes with
Straight Hair.
The inhabitants Of the continent OF
Australia have long been a puzzle to
ethnologists. OF Negroid complexion,
features and skeletal characters, vet
without the characteristic frizzly hair,
their position has been one of great
difficulty to determine. They have, in
fact, been a stumbling block in the
way OF every system proposed, The
solution, supported by many considera.
tons too lengthy to enter into here,
appears to lie in the supposition that
they are not a distinct ace 1t all, that
is, not II homogeneous group formed by
the gradual modification of one uf the
primitive stocks, but rather a cross be-
tween two already formed branches of
these stocks. According to this view,
Australia was originally peopled with
frizzly-haired Malanesi> MS, such as
those which still do, or did till the re-
cent European invasion, dwell in the
smaller islands which surround the
north, east and southern portions of
the continent, but that a strong in
fusion OF some other race, probably a
low form of Caucasian Melanochroi,
such as that which still inhabits the in.
terror of the southern parts of India,

the northwest, and produced a modifi-

cially of hair. This influence did not

1t is o strongly marked in the
northern and central parts of Aus
tralla than on many portions of the
southern and western coasts, where the
lowness of type and more curly hair,
sometimes approaching to frizzly, show
a stronger retention of the Melanosian
element. If the evidence should prove
sufficiently strong to establish this
view OF the origin Of the Australian ma

PAUL JULES CREW..

The Recently Reelected. President Of
the French Republic and His Political
Record.
NJ. Francois Paul Jules Grevy, who
was recently reelected to the Presi-
dency of the French Republic for the
term of eve years, is c seventy
two years old. He is a lawyer by pro-
f~eSsion, and is A member of the bour-
geois, or middle class of the popula-
ton. He took part in the revolutionary
proceedings OF 1880, and afterward, as
their counsel, defended several radical
extremists accused Of political ollenses.
In 1913 he WAS elected to the Constitu-
ent Assembly of France. and was a fire.
quent speaker in that body, until the
accession of Louis Napoleon, when he
retired from public life. He was a
Democrat, and opposed on principle to
the imperial system. In 1871. when
France was e~ndeavoring to protect
itself in the last extremity from Ger
many, he was elected q member of the
National Assembly and was chosen
President of that body, which. after
being driven from Versailles, sat at
Bordeaux and Marseilles. He pub
lishcd 4 pamphlet in 1873, in which he
asserted the principle that France
ought to have been reconstructed after
the Franco-Gcrman war as q limited
monarchy, the clements of which were
then in existence and at hand, but
that, having failed so to do, the only
other course was to establish q repub-
lie. In 1876 he was elected a member
of the Chamber of Deputies and was
chosen its presiding officer. In 1878,
on the fall of MacMlahon, he was
elected President OF France, aud he
has now been reelected to the same
office. He will be nearly eighty years
old if he lives till the close of the term.
NJ. Grevy is probably the best man
that could have been elected as the
fgure-lead of the French Government.
He is 4 safe, levcl-headcd man. He
has scrupulously held aloof from the
various factions in French parties. He
has performed to general acceptance
the few and limited duties of President,
and has not sought to arrogatc uncon-
s%titutional powers. The Office of Presi-
dent in France is one of exceedingly
narrow jurisdiction, which he has not
attempted to enlarge nor to transgress.
He enjoys the confidence of all parties,
though not exactly such a President as
the strong men in either party would
have selected if they could have had
their way. The Ministry and the Ma
tional Assembly rule France, but if
wise connscls, prudent leadership and
a careful adherence to the constitution
of the Republic can save it. these quail.
tiles in M. Grevy constitute the best
hope for its continued c%xistonce.--
