A STREAk OF BLACK.

lAvariable Rule by which to Detect the
Presence of African Blood. pasr
= Captain q. G. Terry has an almost
exhaustless fund of quaint or unusual
stories, incidents or information at his
command. Most of his stock he has
gathered in his own varied experiences
and observations. Let him lean back
in a comfortable arm chair and get his
thoughts turned toward "reminiscences
and he is sure to interest his auditors.
He was born and grew to manhood in
Tennessee, when the institution of
slavery Was in its prime. He grew up
to believe it wrong, his mother instill-
ing the belief into his mind from in
fancy.
''But I saw enough of slavery myself
to set me against it, said the Captain
a few days ago, in speaking of this
period of his career. 'In several in
stances I.saw slave children sold whose
veins contained so much of their mas
ter's blood that their skins were with
out a tinge OF the African color except
in the inVariable stripe down the spinal
column. Such things as that were so
plainly and horribly wrong that I
needed no teaching in order to know
it. Between selling human beings who
were partly white and those entirely
black, some way couldn't find any
line where the wrong ended and the
right began.
what do mean by the stripe down
the spinal column? Why. supposed
you knew the presence of African blood
in any person, no matter how slight
the proportion, can be instantly de-
.tected by dark line along the spine.
Even an ectoroon, with complexion
and features purely caucasian, inyaria-
bly, has this line of dark. 1t is a never
failing proof of mixed blood. The mark
is not always black, but is considera-
bly, darker than the rest of the surface
of the body.
''Since you didn't know that, per-
haps you don't know that col0red
child at its birth is as light colored as
white one. You wouldn't notice any
difference in the color at all. In three
or four hours after birth the skin be-
gins to turn dark, and in a short time
becomes as black as the child is des-
tined to be during its life. = Indianap-

THE COWARD.

Dave was coward and every one
Knew il, and Lord how we went for him,
And made him the butt of our brutal fun. Gr
Till his face would blanch and his blue eyes
Into pools of tears but he murmured not
He would just skulk off to his tent and sit
Hour after hour in the selfsame spot,
With his elbow crook'd and his face in it.
~, FeE go = ..
There was something about that same boy
Something we never cou d understand;
He came to the war on the first wild wave
That billowed the bluecaps over the land.
He was an orphan, and whether he had
Brother or sister we never knew,
Nor whence he came to us-he was a lad
That was hard to fathom, and talked with
few
Somehow it seemed that he was not brave
Like the rest Of the boys, but he kept his
place
In the long and perilous march, poor Dave.
With hushed resolve and a patient face.
He asked no favors he made no sign
or the pangs that pierced his pride like q
dart
And never a man in the old proud line
Had cleaner soul or kinder heart.
But Dave was a coward and that was enough,
In the army, to damn the saintliest soul:
Twas day for the stcrnest and sturdiest
stuff -~
For Steelstrung nerves and for self-cOntrOl;
We had small time for sentiment then;
Small Time to squander on childish fears
A man had to stand like man, with men,
Full fronting the havoc Of those dark years
think it is true in the lives Of some
That the tide turns late, and the pluck they
boast
Falters, and those to the front will come
Who were counted the weakest and scorned
the most;
TWO silences bide in the breast of the youth,
And one Is the silence Of fear-and one
Is the golden, Godlike silence OF truth
That braggart even is bound to shun.
Did say Dave was q acoward?-Well,
1t looked that way for WHILE but when
We saw him flash thro the breath of hell
At Stone River, laughing among the men,
When We caught the CLEAN OF his yellow hair
Thro' the battery's smoke, and heard his
voice
Ring out thro' the roar OF the carnage there,
With the troops Of Turchn from Illinois;
When we saw, like STAR his pale face shine
Thro' the leaping flames, as we passed the
mouth
Of the blazing guns. in the broken :line
Whlrling and hurting the gray coats South
When we saw. God help US his boyish form
Battling apart from the rest, half hid
by the binding smoke and the bursting storm,
Where the dead were piled in q Pyramid;
When we saw, in the front of the awful fray,
The bravest reel, and the old flag fall,
Clutched in the hand of the lad that lay
Il ddled with shot, and beyond them all
When he saw at the close OF that fearful fight
Two blue eyes and a shock OF curls,
Clotted with blood and a face all white
And calm, IN death, as sleeping girls;
We turned away-and We spoke no word;
We turned, with feeling of shame o'erpow
cred;
And we noticed that each mans eyes were
blurred.
AS they fell on the face Of that fallen coward
tell you the army was full of men
Like Dave who timid and half afraid,
Patiently ablded their time, and then
Died, like Christ, on the barricade

The Human Voice.

There can be no doubt, writes DR..
Mackenzie, that the voice has developed
greatly since our "haf-human auces.
tors wooed each other in the primcyal
forests and it is conceivable that it
may, in time to come, acquire the
power Of producing musical effects at
present undreamt Of. It is also pro-
bable enough that as the voice gains in
sweetness it may lose in power, the
latter quality being more requi:el in
barbarous than in highly civilized con
ditions. On the other hand, VIC are
taller and Of larger chest girth than
our predecessors, even of a not very
remote date. It is reasonable, thcr..
fore, to Suppose that tie average lung
and larg1x are bigger nowadays, and
the air blast from the lungs stronger.
This would appear to justify Us in
believing that the voice is stronger than
it was eyen two or three centuries aso.
There a., however, no facts that J
know q 10 prove It.

money Rupee and .DoIlar..

In tracing the derivation of the word
money l find that it is from the Ro-
man word NJ meta. because the first
regu ar mint was established by r mans
in the temple Juno Moneta. The word
coin is, no doubt, from the Latin
'cuneus," meaning die or stamp.
Many coins are so called from their
original weight, as the English pound,
the French liyre and the Italian lire.
The word rupee is from abe San
scrlt, rupzl. meaning silver Tne
word "do lar is short for ioachimsta-
Ter. In B5hemii the word is thaler
which is a 5 short for joacAimthal er or
