1t is difficult not to see, also, in the charac-
ter of Gambetta, especially as shown in the
interview with our correspondent, an empirical
quality. For instance, he gives us hiss plat
form for form of government in France and
sketches his plan for a constitution. This is
the first publication of his views on this SUBJ
ject and will have deep interest in France as
well as America. But it is Disappointing and
does not show an original mind He wants q
President. This President however, must
have as much power as an Emperor; for
France, he thinks, cannot move along without
strong government Well, as no 'f1ler Of
France was more despotfc and absolute than
the young Gambetta himself in his day, this
means that he wants machine to suit his own
ideas when he assumes the Presidency. After
this his plan is Only reflex Of the American
system, with the exception that he would have
stronger Assembly than our House and a
weaker Senate. We cannot understand, for
instance, his second Senate chamber II is to
be as large as our Senate. One-half
OF the members are to be- appointed by
the President, the other half by the Assembly
Like our Senate, it will have voice in execu-
tive appointments and the direction of foreign
affairs, as in the confirmation of treatiesN But
it does not seem that there can be honor OF
even dignity in Chamber which has no rep
resentative character, which certainly does not
represent France. Give any chief magistrate
power to nominate one-half of his Senate,
and it becomes q kind of additional staff or
legislative body guard. In other words the
head Of the State on one side and the repre-
sentatives Of the people of the other, being
afraid of certain latent infrmities of charac-
ter that rulers and assemblies alike possess,
agree to separate themselves by barrier. We
have seen this principle in science and engi-

The recent eases of hydrophohia in
this city, says the Baltimore American,
have excited Il discussion concerning
the nature and origin Of this mysteri-
Gus disease, which may contribute
something of substantial value to med
ical science. We find that large
number of intelligent writers are of
the opinion that cases of true hydro
phobia are exceedingly rare, and that
those distressing symptoms which af
feet patients who have been bitten by
dogs supposed to bc rabid, are due in
aslarge measure to the influence of the
Imagination upon the nervous system.


Another theory is that the poison,
when communicated by the tooth Of a
rabid dog, is held, as it were, in a little
vcsicle or sac which forms about the
wound, and that it is not absorbed until
this receptacle is destroyed by the as
similating processes Gf nature. II

sore just before madness comes on
shows that some disintegrating process

place. Great faith should be put in thC

that the lais0n remains there a long

MILKING STOOLS.-I saw an article

milking and milking stools, wherein
"Jerichov thinks a common wooden
bucket the most convenient seat. Let
me tell him how to make what | call a
convenient stool.


Take piece of board eight inches
wide and two feet long, nail short pie
ces across the ends to increase its
strength, and bore holes through; put
two legs in one end eight or ten inches
long, and one in the other, or forward
end, a little shorter. Place the stool
where you want to sit, the end with
one leg where you usually set the pail.
Place the pail on one end and SIT on
the other, then You have your pail out
of the dirt, and the COW cannot easily
put her foot in it, as is SO often the
pail is on the ground.


IF the legs prove too long, saw them
off little. Some COWS are SO low that
you are obliged to set the pail on the
ground, in such case you can turn the
stool around. Try it, and see how you
like it.

But though the negro is an African,
all Africans are not negroes. There are
the same varieties to be observed in the
descendants of Ham as in those Of Shenl
and Japheth. All are distinctly African,
but the retreating forehead, promiaent
jaws and Informed body with which the
negro is generally credited are not com
mon. 1t is not only the Manyema, OF
whom we have lately heard from DR..
Livingstone, who are beautiful in form
and feature, for | have met with their
counterparts in regions less unknown.
In South Africa there is a remarkable
illustration of the physical and mental
differences which may exist in tribes
that are almost contiguous. The Bos.
jesmen are dwarfed in body and stunted
in mind. Their language in its utter
ance seems TO be not far removed from
the unintelligent gibbering of the ape.
Their habits are those of wild beasts
rather than of human beings. They
occupy about the lowest position in the
scale of humanity, Yet we shall look
in vain for finer specimens of the genus
homo than the Zulu Kafrs. They are
tall in stature, manly in bearing and
graceful in movement Their language
is pleasant TO the ear, and capable of ex-
pressing almost any thought the human
mind is capable of conceiving. They are
logical in reasoning patient in argument
and acute in observation. They are war
like, for they are pastoral in their pur-
suits; and since the days Of the lHyksos,
the old shepherd kings who were the ter:
ror of Egypt, the lovers Of hocks and
herds have been fond of fighting. When
their blood is up their anger RACES un-
checked by tender regard or the claims
of pity; but they do not brood over their
wrongs and they readily forget and for.
give. "They fought us like men, and
during truce they behaved themselves
like gentlemen" was said Of them by a
friend of mine who had been engaged in
war against them. In times of peace
they are courteous to strangers, liberal
in hospitality and to the trust reposed
in them they respond with an Arab-like
fidelity. When once the host has kissed
the hand of his guest there needs neither
guards nor weapons, for his life and
property are perfectly secure. 1t is quite
true that they, in common with all Afri-
cans, are black, or nearly so, yet you
cannot be with them or with other OF
the higher races of Africa long without
feeling that the affinity between them
and the fair-skinned man is perfect in
every material point, aud the sympa-
thies of common nature soon bridge
over the chasm which at first seems to
exist between ourselves and them on ac-
count of the differences of color.

ANCIENT TIMBER.-Probably the Oldest
timber in the world, which has been sub
iected to the use of man, is that which Is
found in the ancient temples Of Egypt. II
Is found in connection with stone work,
which Is known to be at least 1000 years
old. This wood, and the only wood used
in the construction Of the temple, is in the
form of tics, holding the end of one stone
TO another in its upper surface. When two
blocks were laid in place, then ii appears
that an excavation about an inch deep was
made in each block, into which an hour
glass shaped tie was driven. II is there
fore very difficult TO force any stouc from
its position. The ties seem TO have been
the tamarsk, or shittim wood, of which
the ark was constructed, a sacred tree in
ancient Egypt, aud now very rarely found
in the valley Of the Nile. These dovctailed
ties are just as sound now as on the day OF
their insertion. Although fuel is extremely
scarce in that country, these bits of wood
are not large enough to make il an object
with Arabs to heave off layer after layer of
heavy stone for so small prize. Had they
been of bronze, half the old temples would
have been destroyed ages ago, so precious
would they have been for various pur-
