JEWISH NEGROES.

A missionary who has recently re.
turned from Africa claims to have dis
covered many Jewish Negroes. These
Jews enjoy equal liberty with other
subjects of the African chiefs, and
have their synagogues and their rab-
bis. The explanation which they give
OF themselves in connection with their
black skin is this: That after the de-
struction Of Jerusalem, at the time Of
the first captivity, some of their an
cestors having neither goods nor land.
fled to the desert. The fatigue which
they endured was so great, that near
~ all the females died on the way.
The children of Ham received them
with kindness; and by intermarriage
with their daughters, who were
black, they communicated their color
to their children. These children be.
came, generation by generation, OF q
deeper hue, until no distinction of col
or now distinguishes the children Of
Shem from those Of Ham. The form
OF their features, however. are quite
different from that Of the Negroes

NOT A GOVERNMENT OF JUSTICE,

A Southern Democrat said in a re-
cent speech that the white people of
the South intend to govern, but the
government will be one of fairness
and justice.
Unfortunately it seems to be an es-
tablished fact that the government
of one race by another cannot be
lone of justice and fairness" No
instance of the kind can be quoted
from history; while there are thou
sands Of cases to show that such gov
eminent must be one of unfairness
and injustice. The instinct to trample
upon the defenseless is one of the
strongest in human nature and is in
variably brought into active effect
whenever the necessary conditions ex-
list.
Under such conditions, the govern
ment is, necessarily, one of passion
and not of law. The same law regu-
lates the relations of the Turks and
Armenians, the Russians and the Jews
and the Southern whites and blacks.
but the Turks murder the Armenians,
the Russians massacre the Jews and
the Southern whites lynch and burn
at the stake their brothers in black.

MILITARY information"


While it is never admitted, it is q
well known fact that all the leading
governments. maintain an extensive
spy system. Naval and military at
taches are maintained at all the prin-
cipal capitals, whose special duty it is
to secure all possible information on
military and naval matters for trans
mission to the home government for
future use. In addition to these known
and openly maintained agents, every
government encourages it's naval and
military officers to pick up all possible
information as to military and naval
preparations and inventions while trav-
cling abroad, and there is not the
least doubt that scores of British Of
fcers while ostensibly travelling for
pleasure on the continent OF Europe
are in reality picking up every bit of
information possible for the use of
their government. This system Of spy
ing Is SO general that no government
pays any special attention to it, al
though every possible precaut1on is
taken to prevent the ascertaining of
military secrets. There is no doubt
at all that foreign military officers are
constantly prowling around our forti-
fications and naval stations in this
country.-New Orleans Picayune.
