enormous force that going TO waste picturesque

Niagara River into electric power and water power
will soon be accomplished. Already a gigantic manu-

only remains to be disclosed the electric power
which is within the grasp OF the company That
electric power will revealed before the end Of the

Sentinels have pliShed won
ders of faithfulness and endurance,
but the service of a sentinel on the
Island OF Rugen, as reported by him.
self, is a unique example OF patience.
A detachment Cf the French General
Davoust's army was stationed on the
little island of Rugen. An order to
leave it immediately was received,
Qnd the soldiers embarked and sailed
away with the greatest haste. One
man was forgotten.
He was on sentinel duty. Back
anG forth he marched for hours after
1t was time Tor some one to re-
lieve him. Finally he lost patience
and returned to headquarters and
found the post deserted. His COM
pany hac departed in obedience to
imperative orders.
Il am lost ruined, disyraced," he
lamented; II shall be sent for and
shot as a deserter!"
His distress touched the heart OF a
good fellow who witnessed it, and he
took him home with him, cheered
him up, and adopted him into his
family.
AS time passed and no summons
came from France, the soldier took
heart and became good citizen OF
Rugen. He endeared himself TO his
adopted family, and married the
daughter Of h 5 protector.
Five years after the departure OF
/ the French soldiers, a sail was sighted

SUPERIOR VITALITY OF INSECTS.

Eggs Often Uninjured Even After Sub
iected to Intense Cold.
The eggs of insects have greater
powers of vital ty than any others.
A case was published of an egg pro-
ducing an insect eighty years after IL
must have been laid, and the scien-
tist respons BILE for tbs statement
thinks the power Of vivifcation may
endure in these eggs for an indefinite
period. Many eggs of insects are ex-
posed to the air without any covering,
and many are sheltered too slightly
to be secure from the frost This,
however, the are able TO resist, re-
naming unfrOZen, though exposed TO
the severest cold, or, still more sur
prising, are un injured by its intense
action, recovering their vitality even
after having been frozen into Jumps
of ice. On expos ng several SILK
worm eggs for five hours to freez-
ing mixture which made Fahrenhe t's
thermometer fall to S3 degrees below
zero Spo .lanZi found that they were
not frozen nor their fertility in the
slightest degree impaired. Others
were exposed TO degree of 81
degrees below zero without be-
ing injured. The quality OF the
eggs of snails is. perhaps, even
more marvellous. These eggs, IL des-
sicated in furnace unit they are
scarcely visible, will always regain
their original bulk when damped, and
the young will be brought forth as
though the eggs had never been in
any way interfered with. Ne ther
heat nor old seems to have any in
furious effect upon their vitality for

to some present, 1 believe that all
humanity started b1ack-that black
was the original color of mankind
Before reaching these details as
TO what had been done by the col
ored race, Bishop Turner had taken
the declaration quoted and added:
"If theoretical theology IS enti-
tied to any consideration whatever
the time was when the poles OF the
earth and the now ice-bound Artlcs
were so warm that the flora of the
now tropic zones grew there lux
uriant1v, and the same animals that
now live at the equator, roamed
abroad in that ancient forest. This
has been verified by the bones that
have been found there of the AMI
mails now restricted to the trop1c
regions. So, as see it, instead OF
black being an abnormal color, an
execrated color to be despised and
made the badge of degradation and
infamy, to the extent that it involves
the humanity of those who are
black, If it is any color at all, 1t IS
primordial, most ancient and or1gl-
nal color of mankind.
II have reached this conclusion
after years of meditation, with such
| lights as revelation affords to my
understanding, aided by the stylus
of geology and the archaeological
collections found in the British mu-
scum. Yet my interpretations may
be greatly at fault, or wholly absurd,
but scientific analysis undoubtedly
makes black the base of all colors,
and the black man is therefore a
primitive man.
"The drift of nature, whether in
terpreted speculatively or historical
1y, would therefore appear to be
whiteward. Primitive man who
doubtless has existed for ages long,
er than our chronology, fixes it, in
my opinion, was black and is the
father of the white races ofthe earth
and the same black, primitive man
gave to the intermediate color, OF
red Egyptian, civilization, learning
science and philosophy, including
skilled labor in it's highest form
and this red race has transmitted tt
the white race letters, poetry, logic
mechanics and all the fundamental
tiles that the white race have EN-
bellished, refined and improved up
on, until it has reached the grand
eur of this world-famed Chicago
exposition" :"

So aggressive is the plakat, a little
fish from siam, that the entertain
ment it affords has become national
pastime, but not very creditable
one, to say the least The fishes are
trained to go through regular battles.
and are reared artiticially for pur-
pose, while the license to exhibit
them to the general public is farmed
out and brings large amount OF
money into the royal Golfers.
They are kept in aquariums built
for the purpose, and fed upon the
Larvae of mosquitoes and every possi-
BILE care taken of them. Several
years ago a few of them we're pre-
sented to an English gentleman by
the king of S am. When the fish is
in a GU ct state, with the fins at rest.
the dull colors are not at remark
able. But If the two are brought to-
eether, or within sight of each other,
even if one sees his own image in a
looking-glass, the little creature be-
comes suddenly excited. The fms are
raised, and the whole body sh mes
with metallic lustre and colors OF
dazzling beauty, while the prot, I'd
ing gill membrane, waving like a
black frill round the throat, makes
repeated darts at its real or reflected
antagonist If now two are placed
together in tank they rush at each
other with the utmost furry. The
battle is kept up until one is killed
or put to flight, but not until they
are entirely separated does the victor
shut his gaudy fms, that like flags OF
war, are never lowered until peace
has been declared.
In South America there is a small
fish that not only attacks its fellows
of the sea and river, but is greatly
dreaded by the natives, who, during
ing certain seasons. have to ford the
streams in which the carbitos Il
fou.d. Bathers are often attacked
by them, the sharp, chisel-shapet
teeth taking bite from the tlesi
wherever they attack. They are per
feet scavengers, eating the animal
that float down the river, dead o

Republican supremacy in this
city means the adjustment of
the city agency disgrace.

What with Democratic Congress tryir G
to bring the pauper labor of Europe in CON-
petition with the labor Of this country, and
what with disposition on the part of the
Augusta board of overseers of the poor to
strike from the voting lists the name of a
poor man, because he or any member of
his family is likely to become pauper in
the future, the outlook for the hard
working man in Augusta under Democracy
is not of the brightest. These are considera-
tons which come home to quite a number,
who, through various causes, have little
left by which to assert their independer &c
save their right to vote. They sboull feel
the nece ssi,y of keeping this right incor-
ruptible and exercise it in self defence.

The JOURNALS scathing expose of the in
famou, prostitution Of the city rum shop to
d Democratic municipal politics has borne
fruit. So outspoken has been the condem-
nation of decent people of all parties, of
the drunkenness that has, for days past,
run riot on our streets, that the Democratic
city government has been forced to take
tardy action in the matter. AT
its meeting last night an order
was passed closing the city
rum shop until after e,ection! This actio n
is virtual admission that the charges f
the JOURNAL were we'll founded, and this
headquarters for tipplers has been all ard
mere than it has been charged with being.
We do not know at what place the cor
ders' for liquor that have been SO freely
distributed in this city of late will now be
honored. We do know, however, that the
closing of the city rum shop will be final.
The people will so decree at the polls next
Monday by rolling up rousing majority
for the Republican ticket.
