Curiously, the negroes themselves have
been among the principal slave owners of
Brazil. There are negroes and negroes.
One class came from a locality in the Gulf
of Benin. They are different from the
Congoes and other debased tribes. The
men are of stalwart frames and of intelli-
gent minds; the women of pleasing
countenance, with figures like a Venus de
Medici in ebony, and they walk, even
under their burdens. like queens. Pro-
lessor Agassiz once said: 1.-The Nina ne,
gress is the finest specimen of a natural
woman that / ave ever seem" The peo-
pie of this tribe were first brought over as
slaves, but they soon came to be slave
owners. They became also ship owners
and merchants, and drove a lucrative
trade with Africa in negroes and in
merchandise. They have crossed with the
Portuguese blood, as all the other negroes
have done; but the Nina cross is by far
tho best. and it can scarcely be called q
deterioration. This m~iscegenation has
gone SO far that many years ago, when 1t
was proposed, In taking the census of the
empire. to classify the whites and the
blacks. it was found impossible to de-
termine the color line.-Boston Tran
script.

walking on the Stage.

1T takes just a year to learn how to
walk the stage" said a self confident
actor who never made a natural move
ment on the stage, and who in all proba-
bility never will. His idea of the stage
walk was a stride, that would excite the
laughter of his fellows If he entered a
drawing room in that The
amount of labor involved in the art of
actors of his class is appalling to contem-
plate. 1t is evidently concentrated upon
the task of smuggling ones self under an
expansive shirt front, and presenting the
same continuously to the audience. A
side view is destructive to art of this pat
tern. The owner of the expansive shirt
front never walks on in a natural manner,
but his entrance is charming compared
with his exit. He never seats himself as
a well bred man sits. The man who spent
Just one year" learning to walk on
does not know how to places chair, how
to lift it nor how to sit down on it. He
can frown, stalk across the stage and
bang a door open before him-that is the
sum Of his requirements. Time vas when
soubrettes resorted to the cheap device of
hitting a door-it always excited laugh.
ter-but when the angry father, insulted
wife, baked villain, outraged hero and
heroine, and the fine dressed gentleman
in the play bangs a door before him, it Is
very tiresome.-Pittsburg Bulletin.

Dwellers in the dark and somber north
can hardly realize the charm and joyous
ness that seem to radiate from earth and
air in the lotus eating southern chimes.
The mere sense of existence becomes in
itself a happiness; one can understand

pastures ON brilliant days. Then, as the
sun sinks slowly downward, the golden
heaven CLOVIS over IA rejoicing earth, flush

alive with thousands of fire flies; and when
a silvery green moon rises in the calm
deep sapphire sky, it is difficult to decide
whether night or day be the more full of
loneliness. Besides the fire flies, n fire
beetle-one of the Elytra-is a singular
insect, with a brilliant green phosphor-
escent light proceeding from two round
spots on the thorax, added to which, when
excited, the insect has the power to emit
a regular blaze of light from the segments
of the abdomen, of such briIiancy that
one can read by its light. In Cuba ladies'
