NJ. de Quatrefages, the noted French
ethnologist, read n paper before the Paris
Academy of Sciences on his favorite study.
In it he gives an interesting summary of
his general conclusions with regard to the
origin and distribution of the human spe
cies. Omitting minor differences, he es.
Inmates that there are no fewer than 72
distinct races of men now inhabiting the
earth. All of these, he says, descend or
branch off from three fundamental types
the white, the yellow and the black
which had their origin in north central
Asia, which is without doubt the print
tive Eden, or "cradle of the human race. "
NJ. de Quaterfages further states-in learn
ed terms that would be meaningless to any
one except an ethuologist--thatr represent
atives of these three primitive types may
yet be found scattered over his Asian Eden
the whites to the west of the central
point of origination, the yellow to the east
and the black 10 the south The yellow
race spread to the northeast and crossed
to America, where they mixed with 10

know as the American ludian.-St. Louis

The term "colored man" is the one they

that negroes are the low blacks; that
they are colored people, and that white
ladies and gentlemen appreciate that fact

than mere hewers OF wood aud drawers Of

The colored aristocracy of Washington
really numbers about 400 all told, and in
that respect they stand ON an equal foot
ing with Ward McAllister's Four Hundred
in the New York metropolis. These Wash.
ington colored swells live in fine houses
They are possessed in many cases of large
wealth. They keep their own carriages,
and they have servants in abundance who
minister to their wants They have every

The SWEETEST colored church in Washing
ton is the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian.
On Sunday mornings Fifteenth street in
the vicinity of the church Is filed with

fashionable The most of the members
keep carriages, and they use them on these
occasions. In this respect they are aping
the worst form of white snobbery In Eng

He may own II hundred carriages, but he
doesn't use them to take him to and from

The times are not Degenerate! Mans faith
Mounts higher than of old. No crumbling
creed
Can take from the immortal soul its need
OF something greater than itself The wrath
OF dead beliefs we cherished in our youth
Fades but to let us welcome newborn truth.
Man may not worship at the ancient shrine.
Prone on his face in self accusing storm.
That night is passed; lac halls a finer morn,
And knows himself a something half divine;
No humble worm whose heritage is sin,
But part of God, he feels the Christ within.
No fierce Jehovah with a frowning mien
He worships. Nay, through love and not
through fear
He seeks the truth and finds its source is
near,
And fears and owns the power of things unseen
Where once he scoffed. Gods great primeval
plan
Is fast unfolding in the soul of man.

An editor sat in his easy chair,
With an uncut beard and friZZly hair;
There was nothing to do nothing TO write;
The copy had all gone in for the night:
His thoughts far away from subjects deep,
His head fell back, and he went to sleep.
He dreamed that he dropped far down in well
Till he came 10 the gates that opened in hell,
And he knew from the noise and the terrible
din
AS louder and louder their voices assembled,
He recognized many whom oft he'd befriended.
He knocked at the door Of the DEVILS own
home,
But the devil was out, his imps were alone.
1.-The rules are explicit" they went on TO ex-
plain;
"No editor can ever pass in here again."
Then they bolted the door and took out the key,
While the editor peered through the bars to see
The frightful sight which greeted his eyes
Was, of all that he saw, the greatest surprise.
The devil came home with II terrible shout:
~ don't want you here; come, now, get outl'
Then he opened the gate with secret springs,
While a thousand poor souls clung to his
wings
The editor stole into that dismal room
And heard each soul consigned to its doom;
Some were compelled forever to sit
In the fiery depths of the bottomless pit,
While others were doomed forever to gaze
Through redhot glass in the fiery blaze.
Then the devil said, with terrible curse:
81 am sorry, my friends, have nothing worse
For you who have come TO the realms of shade
And left your subscription bills unpaid.
But I'll send you down to the sulphur sea,
Where through all the ages of eternity
The only thoughts which can enter your mind
Are of newspaper bills you left behind"

Especial Correspondence.l
SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 2.-The territorial
executive mansion of Utah is the simplest
structure used for such purpose in the
United States. 1t is plain two story brick
residence containing II rooms, for which
the government pays a monthly rental of
SIS For six years it has been used by the
governors of Utah. 1t was rented March /,
1857, by the present governor Caleb w.
West, during his first term of Office under
Cleveland's former administration. It
stands near the business district. The only
distinguishing sign is the United States
flag, which floats over it during business
hours. and the red letter box attached to
one of the wooden pillars of the narrow vc-
randa. In front is an unkept lawn, lined on
one side by q lockwood hedge and ON the
other by green lattice fence.
With the advent Of state government, CX-
pected in Il few months or II year at the
farthest, this unpretentious house will he
deserted by its official occupants. The
United States flag will float over it no
more, and it will again become IA common
residence. The simplicity Of the passing
territorial government is illustrated by the
way in which this building came to be Sc
lected for its present use. When Governor
W est llfsl came To l lhu 10 bSHuult lnt uu-
ties of Office, be used II hotel suite for con
Quoting business. This was step in adj
vance of the previous administration,
which had been conducted by the governor,
secretary of state and other officers Mt their
homes or business offices. Governor West
saw the advisability of bringing the terri
torial officers together under one roof
Owing to the small government contin-
gent expense fund available for such pur-
poses he took an old residence on one of
the main streets This had TO be given up
in about year, and the governor started
like an ordinary citizen to look for another
home within the means of Uncle Sam and
selected the one now occupied.

Judge not! Thou canst not tell
Why he. thy brother, fell.
Wilt, TOO, thy flowers might,
Exposed unto the blight;
Thy singing birds quite dumb,
Meath darEoned skies, become.
Judge mott Thou dost not know
Why he has lcted 50.
BE not so sure thy grain
Could long resist such rain;
Thy bark, thIs tempest tossed,
Might not the bar have crossed.
Judge notl Thou capst not say
Just where the blame to lay.
From strings long snapped in twain
Comes out the sweet refrain;
From streamlets frozen deep
Not soon the waters leap.
Bid not from that poor heart
The one last hope depart;
But, judging, questioning not,
The past all, all forgot,
Let silence be the gem

With each heart thrub growing stronger.

striving still for truth and right.

How it bears the soul alongl
Leading upward, reaching higher,
with a rapturous desire

Triumphs over grief and pain.
Music slow. with sadness fraught,

Mournful music, sadly stealing

Wakens lOve and pity kind,
Chides and melts with grace refined.

Or Of joyous impulse telling;
Sweet its strains to mortal ear,

Who Would Not Go?

Could we but know
The land that ends our dark, uncertain travel,
Where lie those happier hills and meadows
low
All, If beyond the spirits inmost cavil,
Aught of that country could we surely know,
Who would not go2
Might we but hear
The lowering angels high imagined chorus,
Or catch betimes, with wakeful eyes and
clear,
One radiant vista of the realm before us,
With one Tapt moment given TO see and
hear
All who would fear2
Were We quite sure
To find the peerless friend who left us lonely,
Or there, by some celestial stream as pure,
To gaze in eyes that here were lovelt only
This weary mortal coil, were we quite sure,
Who would endure?

All lands are fair to him who knows content,
All skies are sunny and all fields are green;
In dreamy mists with softest azure blent
Lie distant cloudlands tipped with silver

The waysde violet sheds her fragrance sweet,
For him the wild rose bushes all are spent;
Life's fullest gifts are poured about the feet
OF him within whose heart Is found content.
