bar and there remained.

previously. The boat outside of be-

from her long stand and will soon be
ready to enter the trade she started

STRANGE RACE OF PEOPLE.
{ Washington Star. }


Have you ever heard of class of
people called red bones p " said Lew
is Marshall, of Charleston, SC. lat the
Metropolitan. They are the most
peculiar people in the United Sta ties.
No one living absolutely knows the
race from which they sprang or
whence the original settlers came.
They live very nearly on the boun-
dairy line between South Carolina and
Georgia, in the northwestern part Of
the first named state. They are very
clsnnish, mix very little with people
not Of their race and in manner
are quite thrifty.
"In slavery times they owned
slaves, visited the several summer re-
sorts Of the southern mountains and
in way put on quite little style.
While | have nothing but supposition
to guide me, am of the opinion that
they are descendants Of tine Basques
Of Southern France. They do not
lack courage for company of them
served in Hampton's legion during the
late OWL war and bore themselves
brsvely at the first Manassas. Their
skin is Of swarthy red, resembling
that Of the Indian, but at that point
all resemblance ceases, except 1t be
that they are very hot of temper. !
have often wondered why the ethnol.
ogists of this country have not studied
these people. Surely a monograph on
them would be highly interesting.
