Origin of the American Indian.

Man lived on this continent earlier than
or at least as early as he lived on the Eu-
ropean continent, but it is not believed
that the Indians are descended from such
early people. The latest theory seems TO
be that the so-called American Indians
are descended from Chinese, who in some
way reached the western coast thousands
of years ago. The parallelisms between
the customs of the Chinese and the an
cient Peruvians are often very striking:
the systems of government of the two
peoples were similar; the Emperor and
the Inca both claimed descent from
heaven; both countries had irrigating ca
mails, and in both countries taxes were
paid in kind and stored in warehouses;
both countries maintained public roads,
disposed of their dead with the same cere-
monies and built houses much in the
same style. Humboldt found in the
Mexican calendar strong resemblance 10
the ancient calendar used in Tartary, In
Ola and Thibet. The skull of the Ameri-
can, except in its greater length, greatly
resembles that of the Chinese.-Globe-
Democrat.

Pains and Aches.

We all have pains and aches, but they
needn't last long-not any longer than it
takes to put on an ALLCoCK's Porous
PLASTER. The only thing to look out for
is that you get the right plaster. There
are others, but you don't want them; take
our word for it, for when you need a
plaster you need it. and there's no time
for experimenting and finding out mis-
takes then. Ask for ALLCoCK'S Porous
PLAsTERs and see that you get them. If
they say that some other is just as good,
tell them that only the best is good enough
for you. ALLCoCK's Porous PLAsTERs
are quick and sure, and acknowledged by
the highest medical authorities and every
body else TO be the best outside remedy
for aches and pains OF every description.

The practice in early English history
was to bury the heart and bowels of q
prominent man in one church and his
body in another. In 1880 the body of
Richard Ceur de Lion was found buried
in Rouen Cathedral, confirming the his
toric statement. His body was laid to
rest at Foutevand; his bowels at ChaluZ

thus favored, return to the path of
crime, send him back to prison for an
indefinite time, unless he gives proof
that he has tried every possible way to
secure employment and live straight
life without success, in which case he
is more to be pitied than to be blamed.
A prominent judge in England whose
name l cannot recall, wrote some time
ago that in his estimation, long SEN
tences passed upon first offenders had a
greater influence in making him full
fledged criminal, than anything else
could possibly do, but that repedters
should be secured and held in prison
until they showed positive signs of re-
FORM
hope the time may not be far off,
when the people of the United States
will begin to see the truth of these
words, and legislatures will pass laws
to verify them. HECTOR.

What Is the Cause?

During my SOlOurn here | have no.
ticed that some of the men who have
served time here and were discharged.
came back within short space of time:
sometimes only two or three months
having elapsed since they had regained
their freedom. Upon entering society,
instead Of trying to become honest and
to earn their livelihood by hard work
thereby showing the intention to make
up for the past and thus perhaps again
win the respect and good will of the
people, they deliberately set to work
to commit new crime, knowing full
well that outraged law. should they be
caught, would punish them and send
them back to the home they are only
tit to occupy a felOnS cell.
| would like to ask those to whom
the above may apply. if liberty and re-
spectability is worth so little to them
that they will rather make dollar dis
honestly, than to turn their hands to
some honest labor for honest wages :?
a man must be indeed devoid of all
self-respect, who prefers only few
months of freedom and then comes back
here to drudge from morning till night
year after year, for the state, in order
to procure his board and lodging and
pittance of ten cents per day if he con-
ducts himself we'll.
Thank God the percentage of these
cases is comparatively small: the ma
jOrity of those discharged during the
past year, as far as | can CLEAN, are
earning their bread honestly, few even
occupying responsible positions which
they fill to the satisfaction of their en-
-plOyerS.
Here are among us, no doubt, great
many young men, who were not born
with criminal tendencies, and whose
training has been above the average
young men, in fact, who have always
followed an honorable calling, until
through misfortune they were driven
