THE RACES OF MAN
KIND.
There are Seventy-two of Them
Existing Now-All Came
from Asia.

M. de Quarterfages, thelea-
ding French ethnologist, in
presenting the second part of
his Introduction to the
Study Of the Human Race"
to the Academy OF Science,
has given an interesting sum
mary Of his general conclu-
s!ons with regard to the ori-
gin and distribution OF man
kind.
Neglecting the minor diff
erences, he estimates that
there are no fewer than sew
enty.two distinctraces in the
human species. All these de-
scend or branch off from
three fundamental types
the black, the yellow and the
white, which had their origin
at the great central mass OF
Northern Asia, which is thus
the cradle of mankind. Rep
resentatives Of these different
types, and the races which
sprang from them, are to be
found there.
The whites, according to
M. de Quatrefages, appear to
have originated on sthe west
of the central mass, the yel'
low on the north and the
blacks on the south. The
whites extend westward and
northward, giving birth to
three secondary types, the
Finnish, the Semitic and the
Aryan, if we except the Allo-
|
1 phyles, which form a differ
ent group. Their area OF dis
tribution is continuous, as is
that of the yellows, because
of the extensive land surface
of the Eurasian continent.
The yellows spread eastward
and crossed into America.
The whites and yellows check
ed or blended with each 9th
er, producing many varie-
ties OF man. The blacks, or
negro type, which origina-
ted on the south Of the cen
trail mass, was forced by the
nature of the continent, and
probably by the attacks ol
tho whites and yellows, to &c
south into Africa, and east
into the Indian archipelago
Melanesia.
The proto-Semites arrest
ed their distribution in the
north OF Africa, and the mix
ture of the two races gave
rise to the negroid popula'
J ton. In the center and
south OF Africa the blacks
continued in their ethnic pu
rity until the iniltration o.
other races from Europe and
the north of Africa in modern
times. Those which remain
ed in their original home be
came blended with the whites
and yellows, giving rise te
the Oravidian populations
(which pass by shades into

ALONG THE RIVERS.
Water Too Low for Navigation-No Coal to

Water Too Low for Navigation-No Coal TO
Go Out-New Lights Located Along the
Ohio by the Lighthouse Inspector.
Charles McGregor, Lighthouse Inspector
for the Fourteenth district, writes to THE
DISPATCH that new lights have been es-
tablished at the following places between
Cincinnati and Pittsburg:
One post light on the West Virginia side.
abreast the end of the dam foot OF Eight Mile
Island; one post light on the Ohio side, on
cedar tree in bend below Millersport. at Rural
Home: one post light on the Ohio side. in bend
was established on the Kanawha river, viz.
swinging light on the right bank at Peal Maple.
Pittsburg river men recognize the value of
having lights located at the above places. There
are numerous other bends and curves in the
river which, if lighted, would lessen the dan
gers to the inland mariners
The stage of water yesterday had dropped
from feet Z inches of the day before to feet.
This is not sufficient water for tow boats, and
the coal men are glad to enjoy a short period of
inactivity The reports from Lock No. ana
Brownsville show the river falling. with cloudy
weather and at Oil City the Allegheny is sta
tionary. The news from these three places
will give river men an idea of what to expect
from both streams.
The Convoy arrived from Louisville yester-
day morning with five Darges.
The Bedford brought up the steam pipes and
smokestack of the William Bonner. which was
burned about a year ago at Rush Run, near
Steubenville The parts of the wreck were
stored along the wharf, and seemed to recall to
the minds of river navigators the fate of that
boat and some others.

Losses-Weak Tone.
NEW YORK. November S.-Today's stock
market was merely an annex to that of yester-
day. and weakness was still the great character
istic of the dealings, prices being still lower this
evening. Advices from London we're rather
more favorable this morning, and the recent
movements In the railroad world looking to-
ward better and more harmonious state of
affairs received more attention, and the disposi-
tion was to look for any improvement in prices,
providing the bank statement should give any
assurance that a squeeze in money rate would
not compel the throwing overheard of purchases
within reasonable time. The general expecta-
tion was that the statement would show either
an improvement or only slight change, and
the traders were disposed to cover their shorts
in the early trading with the help of some buy
ing for foreign account. The opening under
these circumstances was made at prices which
were from Il to q per cent better than last
evenings figures, but notwithstanding the
buying the pressure to sell was still heavy. and
declines in the Grangers and some others were
very material in the first half hours trading
Illinois Central dropped 2 per cent. st. Paul

Markets in the grain line to-day exhibited a
feeling of weakness, owing to our large local
supply; but the futures told implicitly that
values will be well sustained, especially in oats
and old ear and shelled corn. Quotations at
this writing cannot be changed, and will likely
remain statu quo till change in the weather
will take place. Yet the fact is clear that prices
will be higher than lower. as holders have en-
tire confidence in their holdings. 1t is stated
fact, and worthy of consideration, that one of
our local operators has in a measure controlled
the market in oats. but as a natural conse-
quence, when the present receipts are con-
sumed, spirited market will be the result, as
the West is slow to offer any inducements on
any cereal in the grain line. There was but one
sale on call at the Grain Exchange namely.

many years-not finding any relief from the 20
doctors he had employed. He suffered from
belching OF gas from his stomach after
eating, sour taste and often felt like
vomiting his food His appetite was
poor, and as his liver was much en-
would often be taken with such sharp cramps
and pain across his stomach and bowels it
seemed as if he could not live. He had palpi-
tation of the heart. dizziness. weakness and
pain across the small of his back, and numb
lifelesS feeling in his limbs. He could get but
little sleep, and as every change OF weather
gave him a cold. he took on lingering cough.
His breath became short and he felt pain and
soreness IN his lungs and under his shoulder
blades. Night sweats weakened him very fast
and he gradually grew worse until he lost 30
pounds of flesh. Many of his friends thought
he had consumption, and that he must die from
that terrible disease. On calling on the catarrh
specialists he was told he could yet be cured.
Although he had but little faith. he re-
solved to try once more, and after
taking a course of treatment, he says:

RARE GOOD MANNERS,
Anecdote Proving Lord Rosebery a Per-
feet Gentleman.

Anecdote Proving Lord Rosebery a Per-
feet Gentleman.
Scottish Americana
A characteristic story is told of this most
popular Scotch peer. One day he was en-
tertaining large party, and among his
guests were several persons whose acquaint-
ance with the ways of fashionable life was
of the slightest. One of them, making his
first experiment with ice pudding, took an
extensive mouthfuI, and suffered agonies oi
chill as the frozen mass slowly dissolved.
With kindly thought of others he repaired
to the host, who was chatting with two OF
three friends close by, and intimated that
there had been some mistake in the kitchen
"a pudding had got frozen.
Lord Rosebery listened without moving Q
muscle, tasted the stuff, thanked his in.
formant. and said he would speak to the
cook. Then he whispered to one of the at.
tendants, came back with a relieved face
and told the honest farmer, ITS all right
They tell me this is a new sort of pudding
that is frozen on purpose" There is prob.
ably no more perfect instance of really good
manners on record.

MARKETS BY WIRE.
Bearish Reports From New York Cause a
Break in the Chicago Wheat Pit
Corn Scores a Gain-Oats Were
Staadv-Pork ITuSettIed

Steady-POrk Unsettled.
CHIcAGo-Wheat-Th was good specula-
tive trading to-day, and the feeling was again
nervous and unsettled. The money market is
no doubt having considerable influence on the
market, for, after steady opening and slight
appreciation in prices here, the report that the
New York bank statement made ar unfavor-
able showing, coupled with the decline in
stocks, had depressing feeling, and prices were
carried to the lowest point.
The opening was firm at about yesterdays s
closing to shade above, advanced to point u
@5sc over yesterdays closing, then eased of
slightly, held steady for awhile and then broke
off rapidly to point &c lower for December and
15sc lower for May than the top figure reached
early in the morning. recovered on shorts COW
ering and some export buying at the seaboard,
and prices were advanced 7s@lc ruling quite
firm, and closed about &c lower for December
and 1sQ14c lower for May than closing figures
yesterday.
Corn was fairly active and trade irregnlar,
prices changes being frequent within M@Ac
range. The market opened firm at slight ad-
vance on the light receipts. and on good buying
sold up &c, when wheat broke and the market
sympathized and declined &c. A reaction of
5l65lc followed which was fairly maintained
at the close, final quotations showing gain of
H@5sc.
Oats were moderately active and steadier,
prices holding within 7sc range. The market
opened slightly lower, but advanced &c, re-
ceded to opening figures for May. but rallied
~, and the market closed steady at about out
side figures.
Pork-Rather a good business was trans
acted and prices fuctuated considerably.
Opening sales were made at l0c decline. but a
fair inquiry caused a steadier feeling and the
decline was recovered; Later there was con-
siderable pressure to sell while the inquiry was
less urgent, and a reduction of 1711Q20c was
submitted to. Toward the close the feeling
was steadier and prices rallied 71a@lUc, though
trading was moderate.
Lard-Considerable interest was manifested.
Trading was rather active. Opening sales were
at 215c decline, but this was quickly recovered.
Later the market weakened and prices receded
5G733c. Toward the close prices rallied slightly
and closed steady.
Short Rib Sides-A fairly active trade was
reported and the demand was rather active.
Early in the day prices were about 2%c higher.
but weaker feeling was developed and prices
receded 51712c. Near the close prices rallied
21505c and the market closed quiet.

MOVEMENTS IN STOCKS.
Trading Very Light and Values Apparently
Without Recuperative Power.

Although local stocks at present prices are
generally considered good purchase, there is
marked indisposition to invest in them. This
feeling was very conspicuous the past week,
and the consequence was dull and declining
market. Sales were S52 shares against L5s8
the previous week. There was no demoraliza-
tion, however, as holders were not pressing
sales.
Causes for the depression are found in the
usual let-up of speculation at the end of the
year, and fears of tight money abroad,
if not at home, symptoms of which are
cropping out in England, as shown by the un-
expected advance in the interest rate by the
Bank of England to restrain the flow of specie
abroad. There Is nothing really alarming In
this, however. Money is more actively em-
ployed than usual at this season of the year,
and earnings are phenomenally large. The
yearly settlements are not far of, when large
sums will be released for investment Alto
gether. the situation is assuring, and the
threatened stringency, if it comes at ALL can
have no serious effects, as it cannot be OF long
duration.
Final prices of local securities Saturday. as
compared with those of the previous Saturday,
show the following changes in the leaders:
Philadelphia Gas lost II, Central Traction q,
Luser "a, Electric "a. and Switch and Signal
II. New York and Cleveland Gas Coal was the
only thing that scored a material advance. It
gained two points. Manufacturers Gas was a
little tirmer.
