Where Did Cain Get His Wifef


The whole problem of creation is
involved IN the query, "Where did
Cain get his wife," The following
tends to show that all men are not
descended from Adam: Although
the bible is not work on anthro-
pology, many religious teachers for
1000 years have insisted that we ac-
cept 10 as such, and do SO now, seem
ingly unconscious of the fact that the
knowledge of that subject has made
considerable advance since Jerusalem
was the center of the world. Canon
Rawlinson, speaking of the genoa
logical tables therein, says: at is
genealogical arrangement of the rae
es best known to Moses and to those
for whom he wrote, not scientific
scheme embracing all the tribes and
nations existing in the world at that
time" We are also taught that all
mankind descended from Noah in
1850 years. BY what process of
reasoning can we conclude that the
inscct-eating savage of Africa and
the intelligent white races have de-
scended from the same parentage in
$500 years? Ancient Egyptian
paintings 1900 years b. CO. portray
the negro with the same color and
features as he now possesses. This
leaves 900 years from Noah to the
date of the Egyptian paintings for
these great racial differences to have
taken place. Could this have oc-
Cured in such short time, and for
$500 years no progress noted? AS
suming that it could not, the negro
must have been in existence at the
time of Noah, saved from the food.
Did they descend from Adam and es-
cape the flood? II so the racial diff
ferenccs have $500 years in which to
take place. Were the races more
plastic during the first $500 years OF
their existence than during the fol
lowing $500? 1t does not seem reas-
enable. Another reason for denying
the Noachite descent of the negro ra-
ces is as follows: The dark skinned
Hamites settled in country called
Cush, or Ethiopia, which the weight
of evidence locates between the Nile
river and Persian gulf, and their de
scendants built the cities of Nineval
and Babel. If Adam was white ano
partially civilized, the descent Of the
black races from him was in opposi
ton to the law of organic life-prog
ress. The above points show thai
Adam was not the father Of all man
kind.

The ORIGIN or PErRoLEuM.-Pro
fessor Medelejes has advanced the
theory that petroleum is Of mineral
origin, and that its production is GO
ing on and may continue almost in
definitely. He has succeeded in max
ing it ar.i6cially by a similar process
TO that which he believes is going on
in the earth; and experts find it i'm
possible to distinguish between the
natural and the manufactured article.
His hypothesis is that water finds its
way below the crust Of the earth, and
then meets with carbdes of metals
particularly of iron) in a glowing
STATE The water Is decomposed into
its constituent. gases. The oxygen
uuites with the iron, while the hy-
drogen takes up the carbon and as
cends to higher region, where part
of it is condensed into mineral oil,
and part remains as natural gas, to
escape where it can find an outlet, or
to remain stored at great pressure
until borehole is put down to pro-
vide it passage to the surface. Oil
bearing strata occur in the vicinity OF
mountain ranges; and it is supposed
that the upheaval of the hills has
sufficiently dislocated the strata be-
low to give the water access to depths
from which it is ordinarily shut out

Gen. Dan. Sickles says that he will
send Jay Gould to the penitentiary if
there is any justice left. That looks
as if Gould was going. There is such
thing as justice, and Dan Sickles
knows pretty well how to secure it.
It was he who made Gould return the
large amount of money that he had
stolen from the Erie stockholders.
He took a force of men and invaded
the offices of the Erie in the Grand
opera house, and tumbled Gould and
his men into the street, and followed
that up with hot application of law
until Mr.. Gould was glad to disgorge.
Gould's plans were many and fla
grant, and it would be pretty poor
Justice that could not find a vulnera-
BILE place in his record There is no
one thing that would be of more ben
eft to the cause Of honesty and in
tegrity than to put this man in strl-
ned suit and set him to work for the
public that he has plundered SO long.
jay Gould has never been any bene-
fit to the world His colossal fortune
represents nothing but trickcry, and
the example he has set to our young
men is very deplorable. To permit
such man to go unwhipped of JUS
tice is gross wrong to the rising
generations, and mockery. Lesser
criminals are in the penitentiary for
long terms. Better men are ostra-
cised because they have made one
single misstep. Gould's whole life
has been misstep and financial
